"You might as well kill me. In this lonely place, I really don't want to live..."
"Okay, I'll kill you now." Feiqi stood up and walked towards the Soul Crystal room. The fork-way demon quickly begged for mercy: "Don't! I'm kidding! I don't want to die yet!"
"Then don't use this trick to sell misery." Feiqi snorted and sat again on the red throne made of crystal. Because he lost the habit of contracting demons, he would be scratched by the sharp edges of the throne. However, the thick skin of the demon of desire can withstand this level of damage, and blood will not flow down.
The seventh floor of hell, the Throne Hall in the ruins, is no different from when Feich left a few months ago. "Zarel has become the lord of the first floor of hell again. She has regained all the lord's authority. I thought something big would happen here." Feich tapped the mirror sealing the fork demon with his fingers and asked, "Why isn't there any impact here? Where did your territory crystal get from?"
"I obtained it with the Hell Contract." The Forbidden Demon replied: "The earliest crystal was given by Zarel. She ordered me to conquer Taksk, a civilized world built underwater. I don't like swimming. It costs too much to get together the devil who can move freely underwater. I don't want to cooperate with the Shahwa man at all - so I slipped away with the Lord's crystal."
"All devil lords are not trustworthy. Zariel is not a native devil, and her angel bloodline makes her even less trustworthy. I studied the hell contract and exchanged a crystal of hell lord level for an ordinary territory crystal. I think in the whole hell, besides the territory crystal of the Demon King, the hell contract crystal is the most suitable devil who defects alone."
Fitch nodded and agreed with a normal attitude: "It can be seen from Zariel and Baier that the devil lords of hell are not lasting for a long time. It is indeed a little more stable in the hell contract. But I am a little strange. Asmotils is also a devil. Is he safer than the hell contract? The devil king also has emotional changes, right?"
"It's right, right." The demon said: "Generally, the devil believes that contracts and order exist for the sake of interests, and the devil puts order above interests - at least it is a parallel existence, so he will not harm the other for one of them. The order of hell is the interests of the devil. As long as you do not affect the general trend of hell, he will not pay attention to you. Don't forget that the likes and dislikes of hell will come very quickly, and the devil will not have so much spare time."
Well, the Forbidden Road Demon said something. The Demon King Asmotils has a good reputation in Hell, and is a high-quality devil with no "bad record". It is in a transcendent position and never cares about trivial matters between the devils, but only focuses on higher-level chess games.
"The Demon King wants to win the bloody battle, he has already launched an action, and Zariel's comeback is one of the links." Feiqi said to the fork-way demons and the news outside: "All the devils are going to withdraw to the first level of hell, which is said to be to preserve their strength. You have been with Zariel for so long, have you heard any news?"
"How could Zarier tell me such an important thing? There is even an angle: How could the Demon Lord let Zarier's impulsive fool know about such an important thing? At best, he would tell her what to do next. As for why she should do this, it would definitely be kept confidential."
"Since you don't know, then forget it. It's not that easy to win in the bloody battle, otherwise the war would have ended long ago." Feiqi patted the Crystal Throne: "Okay, since you are not affected here, I won't worry. Let's go, I still have a lot of things to do!"
"Don't! Don't leave so anxiously, I don't think you have so many urgent things to do." The road demon called Feiqi: "It's been several months, and I finally found someone to talk to. Don't leave so early. Can't you chat for a while?"
"This is what you want to talk to me." Feiqi's mouth curled slightly and sat down again: "Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"
"Expand the territory so that I can resurrect and help your friend find the missing person named Kara? Is this a good topic?" The fork-way demon licked his fingertips one after another, and then said, "Build the territory, I can provide you with better services and convenience. Did we say that we had said before, right?"
"There is such a saying." Feiqi nodded: "But I think this business is too much of a loss. It is far better to invest spiritual coins in hell to invest spiritual coins in projects to conquer other worlds. Plunder in the new world, and to harvest more things than in this ruin. What else is there besides ruins and rags here? The devils ultimately need only one resource, that is, the soul, and there is only soil here."
"Conquer the other world..." The road demon responded with a smile: "Conquer the other world is indeed very profitable, but there are huge difficulties hidden in it. The devils who go directly to the other world to establish a forward camp with the lord's authority, most of their actions end in failure. First manage the territory well, then open the portal to go to other worlds, use their brains more and use less force. This is the most efficient way to conquer. Feichi, don't be deceived by the sweet words of some devils."
"I recently made a lot of spiritual coins with a devil. The next step is to invest in the battles in another world. And you think this is not a good idea?"
"It is better to cooperate with me than to cooperate with any devil, because you need a territory to serve you to transform the results of the conquests in another world into something you can use." The demon of the fork road narrowed his eyes and rubbed his hands constantly. He asked, "Feich, how many spiritual coins do you have now?"
"There are still two or three thousand." Feiqi didn't know how many spiritual coins Lakado would stuff into the space bag and hand them over to him after being controlled, but it must be no less than the amount of three thousand spiritual coins.
"I just think you've hidden some of it." The road demon said: "If you don't use the gradual mode of conquest in another world, but enter a state of war as soon as you start, the spiritual coins you spend will be at least 500,000. Your thousands of spiritual coins are not enough for you to become a collaborator. Especially if you are still a desire demon now, and the other party must be a high-level devil. Feiqi, don't die."
The fork demon is worried about Feiqi's life safety, which is essentially in consideration of its own interests. Its territory has been narrowed to the limit and its external influence is almost zero. It can only be redeveloped by Feiqi bringing spiritual coins and prayers to it.
Looking at this hollow and monotonous throne hall, it is no different from when Feich saw the first one, but the people sitting on the throne are no longer the same. "The fork-way demons, the chaos represented by the demons will definitely betray them, and the devils are different. Binding interests and order is the devil's favorite way. I decided to invest in you and your territory, and officially start from now on."
"Finally..." The fork-way demon looked at Feiqi from the mirror. "You must have the conditions, tell me."
"We have signed a hell contract to agree on the responsibilities of both parties. I provide spiritual coins and resources to activate your territory and help you accumulate strength until you are enough to return to normal. You repay my investment with your own and your territory for a hundred years of service." Feiqi said: "If you violate the contract, you will be reduced to the inferior devil and hand over the ownership of the territory to me."
"The resources such as spiritual coins I bring to you, except for the purposes I agree to, must be used to restore your own state and cannot be deliberately delayed. During the entire contract execution, I will obtain at least half of the benefits of all territory, but the room with the turbulent space will always belong to me. If Kara is found, she will be completely disposed of by me and has nothing to do with you." Feiqi continued: "In the end, any objection in the Hell Contract must be executed in a way that is beneficial to me or interpreted by me."
"I... I shouldn't have given you the experience of becoming a contract demon! It's okay to make you a stronger combat power, but why is it a contract demon?" The road demon frowned tightly and scratched his head with a painful expression. "The contract does not stipulate what will happen if you violate the rules, and this contract cannot be established."
"Don't forget that I'm paying all the starting funds, and your service period starts to be calculated after recovery. If I violate the contract, the loss is the benefits brought by income, so this contract can be established, although the parties to the contract are not equal." Feiqi's face was a smile, as if he was often seen in every contract demon: "Your current situation does not give you much room for bargaining, but I'm willing to give you some time to think about it - but I don't know when I will meet again next time."
"Wait, there is no need to be petty. A hundred years is not long for the devil, and you are so smart, I don't have to worry about no profit." The demon for the road hurriedly said: "I agree with this plan, you come and make a contract."
"I am a devil rather than a contract demon. Can I also hold a hell ceremony? If I can get it, you can do it better." Feiqi said to the fork road demon: "I give you initial funds, but I am not here to work for you. If you cannot hold a ceremony, especially a ceremony to summon the prayers to build a territory, then the agreement will be cancelled."
"No, I can hold a ceremony, which is my last remaining ability. But I need spiritual coins or hell's favor as material for the ceremony. If it really doesn't work, you can provide mana."
Feiqi shook his head, opened Lakado's space bag, and took out ten spirit coins from it. This happened to be the cost of a hell contract. "Your power is too weak, I'll give you two more, let's start now."
The Fork Road Demon sighed, and asked Feiqi to put the spirit coin on the soul crystal. It quickly absorbed the energy from the spirit coin and began to perform the hell contract ceremony. Feiqi observed from the side and verified the knowledge of the higher-level devil from the method of the Fork Road Demon using soul power. Soon, a scroll of the hell contract with golden bottom and red letters appeared in front of Feiqi. He quickly browsed it with his mind and signed his name.
The contract turned into a golden light and flew into Feichi's soul fire and lurked. Except for both parties, others could not see the contract even if they could observe the soul fire. The Fork Road Demon and Feichi were very cautious people, and the knowledge of the contract demon allowed them to consider all aspects of the contract in advance.
"Feich, are you curious about rituals? When you become a high-level devil, you will naturally understand these things. You should consider this matter earlier." The Fork Road Demon seemed in a good mood. It said: "Don't worry about advanced things. After I recover my strength, I can preside over the advanced rituals for you. If you want to become a deep sapling demon."
"But then I will only have a safe period of one hundred years, and then I will have to serve you because you are my superior devil." Feiqi shook his head: "I will find a way to get ahead, just focus on restoring your strength. Of course, finding Kara is also very important, and the priority is even higher than your recovery strength."
"It seems you still can't believe me completely."
"You don't want your partner to be a fool, either," said Fitch. "I know that even if there is a contract for hell, you will still be unable to help but think about it. This is a nature that the devil cannot overcome, so I will not hope that you will be honest in accordance with the contract. I just hope you remember one thing: I have considered this risk, so when your mind wants to get away, think more about my warning - punishment will come quickly and violently, and you have no room for resistance or regret."
"I will remember." The Forbidden Road Demon admired Feiqi's confidence, but it also understood that there was no need to pretend to be frightened and insult Feiqi's IQ. The Forbidden Road Demon just looked like he was doing his job: "The contract has been signed, should I have the initial funds?"
Lakado handed over three space bags to Feichi, two of which were all spiritual coins. Feichi took out one of them and counted out five hundred spiritual coins from it. "Fifty spiritual coins extend twenty meters, I remember what you said. These spiritual coins are enough for you to start steadily."
"If I could have 1,500 spiritual coins, I could implement the whole process in a better way, which would be more than four times the efficiency of 500 spiritual coins. Since you are not ready to invest in war, it is useless to keep the spiritual coins, right? You wouldn't be so stupid that you use the spiritual coins and ask other high-level devils to advance you, right?"
Feiqi was silent for a while, and then took out another thousand spirit coins from the space bag. "As you wish, use one thousand five hundred spirit coins, and use them well. I don't know when next time I have so much money."
"If I could dig out the treasure house in my previous territory, there would be 1,500 spiritual coins. Of course, look for Kara first." The fork-way demon asked Feiqi to put the spiritual coins on the soul crystal, and then smiled and said to Feiqi: "Do you want to see how to summon the prayer? High-level devils will have this ability, so advance as soon as possible!"
"What can high-level devils show their abilities? I will know sooner or later." Feiqi turned around and left, sat in front of the room where the space turbulent flowed, staring at the patterns that were changing like a kaleidoscope, and focused on casting space spells to test.
The fork-road demon watched Feiqi leave without saying a word, for fear of leading Feiqi back. He waited until Feiqi was completely immersed in thinking, and began to absorb spiritual coins and hold a spell ceremony.
