458. Mephisto's deal

There were only Zhou Chu, Larmi, Alesha, and Gao Ming, and there was no big move. Alesha just looked at the old man in a tuxedo and a high-top hat with a curious look. Larmi was also curious, but the curiosity brought some inquiry, and Gao Ming... he muttered to himself.

"Mephisto? Nine or one of the dozen or more demon kings?"

Mephisto is one of the only dozen demons in hell, also known as Mephisto or Mephisto.fele, whose English name is Mephisto.pheies or Mefisto.fele.

According to scholars' research, there may be two sources. One is from ancient Hebrew, which is the original meaning of "destroyer", "scammer", and "haters who hate the light". The other statement is from Greek, which means "those who do not love the light" and "those who do not love the Faust".

At the same time, Mephist is also known as the god of medieval magicians, the demon who made a contract with German doctor Faustus. In Goethe's book "Tragical History Of Doctor Faustus" and his 19th-century opera "Faust", he describes Mephist as a demon magician to lure humans into the fall of mankind. At the same time, the book also claims that he was loyal to Lucifer, the king of hell.

But in fact, this is not the case. Perhaps Mephister and Lucifer have a good relationship, but Mephister will not serve anyone. He is serving himself or the entire hell.

He has no servants, but all the demons in hell who master magic are servants for him. He has no territory, but hell and all places to go are for him.

He is the magic god in hell. He is also the god of transactions and contracts. He is the most popular "equivalent exchanger" and the most guarded "fraudster".

The only demon king in hell called the demon god, Mephist Ferres.

After hearing Gao Ming's words to himself, Zhou Chu seemed to answer him, and said it as if he was sure of himself.

"Well, Mephist."

He turned to the old man: "This should be expected, but it is also unexpected. So, Lord Mephist, what deal do you want to make with me?"

"Before I speak out my deal, I want to confirm with Mr. Cadias first, what is your purpose in coming to Hell?"

"Originally, I just came to hell by chance, but since I came to hell and happened to understand the general situation, then when I knew and had a road that could bypass the forbidden spell, and could directly cross it and safely reach the ground, why not let the demons return to the ground? Most demons have such thoughts and thoughts, and I may also need you to cause more chaos and damage on the ground, so why not?"

Zhou Chu ended his explanation with a rhetorical question. His meaning was very obvious. Since this is a win-win solution, why not use this as a purpose, or why not use this as a purpose.

Mephist just laughed at Zhou Chu's rebellious question and asked again.

"Mr. Cadias should also know that for the moment, what are the most difficult things to convince if they want to convince other kings to lead their subordinates and allow them to allow you to bring the demons back to the ground, right?"

No matter which ones it is, Villa must be among them, and at such a time, when he appears in such an occasion and a place, and asks such questions, Mephist's intention is really obvious.

So Zhou Chu also smiled and said to Mephist.

"Mr. Mephist. Are you planning to make a deal with me about how to convince Villa? If you can convince him, then what will I have to pay for the exchange and the reward? I have not given the soul in advance, and I will not give it."

What Zhou Chu hints and complains about is exactly what he says in "Faust", Mephist traded with Faust in order to lure Faust's soul into a fall, satisfying his countless wishes, just for Faust's soul into a fall.

Regardless of whether Mephist understood the hints and complaints in Zhou Chu's words or not, he burst into laughter and answered Zhou Chu's words.

"No, I won't want your soul, nor dare to ask for it. The power of Samar is still something I can't compete with at the moment." Mephist said, "And what I want to tell you is not a deal to convince Villa."

"Oh?" Zhou Chu narrowed his eyes, "What's that deal?"

“Before I elaborate on my deal, I hope you can be prepared enough by Mr. Cadias.”

Mephist said so.

Zhou Chu was silent for a moment, and at that moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end he quickly returned to Villa and locked in the seemingly impossible maximum possibility.

"Please tell me, Lord Mephist," said Zhou Chu, "No matter what deal you say now, I won't be surprised, I promise."

Mephist smiled slightly, and his eyes surrounded everyone present at the same time, so he spoke slowly.

"What I want to do with you is the deal that kills Villa."

As soon as these words came out, everyone gradually relaxed because they saw Zhou Chu's calmness, and then changed instantly. Before, because of Mephist's self-destruction of his identity, he instantly entered a state of combat, and this time, it was a feeling of collective air conditioning.

What a joke? This is the idea of ​​everyone present. Even Gao Ming, who cares the least, came up with the idea that this old man is here to make fun of himself.

Only Zhou Chu and Alesha were still very calm. Alesha didn't care, but Zhou Chu had countless thoughts flashed through his mind before, and finally locked in this most unlikely possibility. So when Mephist said it, he was not surprised.

In other words, this is what Mephist can do, compared with the transactions he wants to make, convincing Villa with no challenge and stimulation is not what a demon should do.

So Zhou Chu was very calm and did not ask why, nor did he ask what Mephist was sure of, because if he was not sure, Mephist would not rashly propose a deal, because he proposed to kill Villa, and he could not kill him, and was leaked and responsible for it. The contract and punishment for the soul to take effect are not fake.

So he just asked what should be the most critical question.

"What's the price I need to pay, or what's the price?"

At this moment, even Mephist was a little surprised. He was so straightforward, but if he was joking with him, he would ask directly what the cost was... This guy is really not afraid of death.

Mephist coughed and then answered Zhou Chu's question.

"One-third of the power of Samar."

Zhou Chu immediately calculated in his mind that the benefits of killing Villa were the disadvantages of losing one-third of Samar's power.

The most undoubted benefit of killing Villa is that the entire country of Villa will be temporarily in Zhou Chu's hands. At that time, with the name of Samar and the flag that returns to the ground, a powerful demon army can be immediately pulled up. In this way, even if the consent of other kings is not required, Zhou Chu can directly bring these demons back.

The unsure of the benefits may also be the disadvantages. The reactions of other demon kings after killing Villa may be, and some demon kings may not be, and some demon kings may become allies because of their grudges with Villa, while others may become enemies.

So the only and certain advantage is that after killing Villa, Zhou Chu temporarily owns and occupies a country, and is able to pull up Samar's flag and return to the ground, but what comes with it is more uncertain and unknown factors.

Samar's power was lost by one third at once. Compared with the benefits, this loss is permanent.

It was indeed Mephist, a good idea to play.

Seeing Zhou Chu still thinking, Mephist added another bargaining chip: "If Mr. Cadias is worried about the reaction of other kings, then we can add this to the transaction. I will ensure that all kings will not have any dissatisfaction or actions towards you after killing Villa."

So good? Zhou Chu was a little moved in an instant, but soon calmed down again. There might be something hidden in the middle. Mephist is not like a person who can do business at a loss. And the most important thing is Samar's power. No matter what Mephist does, this is second. What is important is that for Zhou Chu, the loss of this power is permanent, not limited to this world.

So he was still thinking, but in order to deal with Mephist, he still assumed that he had raised a question that he didn't care about at all.

"If I can, I want to ask, what is the use of Samael's power for Lord Mephist?"

His questions seemed to make Mephister a little embarrassed, but even if he was not, no matter what Mephister answered, he just asked for an answer casually, and then asked Mephister to answer. He then used this time and pretended to think about Mephister's new answer to complete all the thoughts and ideas about gains and losses.

So when Mephist hesitated, Zhou Chu was still thinking that this was not a very good deal. In other words, the real benefits lie with Mephist, and he only had short-term convenience, but what he lost was a permanent price and power.

unless……

A thought flashed through Zhou Chu's mind, and immediately called Alesha in his consciousness. After listening to his words, Alesha answered him in the voice of her consciousness.
