Warlock of the Marvel Universe

By now, Evanson has roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter.

Gilderreth had wanted to resurrect Joan of Arc for hundreds of years, and to this end he began to learn forbidden knowledge, and he must have also studied other evil spells after he used it.But his starting point was very high. The Luoyan City Sect could not help him fulfill his wish, nor could other magic such as necromancy, so all his attempts failed.

The reason is that the soul of Joan of Arc was forcibly imprisoned by Naaru, so you created a powerful Holy Light Legion according to the methods of the Heroic Spirit Warriors.So it is naturally self-evident why Gilderreth is now seeking to make a deal with Mephisto.

"Mephisto is a demon king who is good at soul trading. According to widespread legends, the devil has always been in opposition to God, so you think he can help you find the soul of Joan of Arc and help you resurrect her. .My understanding should be correct, right?”

"It's absolutely right." Gilderreth nodded and admitted generously. "This is the best method I can think of, and it is also the last method, so I will not give up no matter what."

"What's more, a contract has been signed between me and him. Once the devil's contract is established, neither he nor I will have any room to go back on it. So you said Mephisto asked you to retrieve the Rubik's Cube, I I don’t believe it at all.”

"But" Gilderice's big eyes narrowed slightly, "I know you are very strong, so I don't want to fight you unless it is absolutely necessary, so we might as well treat this matter as if it never happened, and be happy How about we leave each other?”

Having said this, Evanson really hesitated.Gilderreth is different from other dark wizards. He has been living in the world for hundreds of years. For such a long time, he must have mastered a lot of non-magic in order to resurrect Joan of Arc, and the hell princess Farina is very interested in it. His attitude is also noteworthy.

Although this princess has always maintained her dignity in front of him, if you carefully observe her words and deeds, it is not difficult to see that he is very afraid of Gilderreth.Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Gilderreth can definitely bear the title of the most powerful dark wizard in the world.

Of course, this is not enough to make Evanson fear him. After all, once Evanson gets serious, he can fight back and forth with the goddess of death, Hela. Gilderreth is not even worse than Hela. Be more powerful.Besides, this is not that strange prison space. Evenson can call other people over to help.

Whether it is the Supreme Room, the Ancient One or the Eredar Twins, as long as one of them agrees, they will definitely win against Gilderreth.Therefore, the primary consideration now is not the odds of winning once the battle begins, but the necessity of this battle.

Indeed, Evanson came here because he accepted Mephisto's request, but this time he did not make a contract and the other party did not promise any tangible benefits.Fighting for something that has no benefit at all is what Evanson hates the most.

However, Evanson would feel very unwilling to accept Gilderreth's proposal and leave.Because this matter is too suspicious so far. If, as Gilderreth said, Mephisto's act of asking Evanson to recover the Rubik's Cube was a repentance, then this kind of thing is simply impossible to happen.

The restrictive nature of the devil's contract is actually effective for both parties, and the devil in hell will indeed leave loopholes in the contract to expand his own interests, or find ways to make it more difficult for the other party to complete the contract, thereby obtaining high compensation. .

But direct and clear remorse is impossible.Because by doing this, Mephisto will undoubtedly impose the crime of breach of contract on himself, and then he will be the one to make compensation.Even an ordinary little devil would regard this kind of behavior as a great shame and humiliation, let alone Mephisto, who is the devil monarch.

But having said that, Evanson suddenly thought of what happened this time. There was no direct conversation between him and Mephisto, but it was relayed through an intermediary.So, could it be that someone used Mephisto's name to plot against him and the old devil?

Or maybe Mephisto, as the devil monarch, has mastered a way to avoid the punishment mechanism even if he directly violates the contract.Well, these two conjectures, no matter which possibility they are, make Evanson very interested.

What's more, the things involved in this matter also make Evanson even more unable to let go. Since this matter seems to have no benefits, why not find a way to further participate in it and let it create benefits? Evanson wanted to carefully count how many high-quality souls that automated program had collected from the first year of the Christian era until now.

"Your Majesty the Demon Marshal," Evanson suddenly made a very embarrassed expression, "You have to understand that the commission I accepted this time is not so easy to refuse. Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of fighting with you. I was just thinking that if possible, could you repeat the contents of the contract you signed with Mephisto, so that it would be easier for me to talk to him when I go back."

"Well, that's fine." Gilderes rubbed his chin and thought for a long time. As long as he explained the rest of the content clearly and made him understand that he would not and could not give up, he would be able to retreat. "Gilderreth and Mephisto made a mutual agreement that Gilderreth would help Mephisto open the door to hell in the world, and in return, Mephisto would find the soul of Joan of Arc."

"It's so short." Evanson was very confused about the length of the contract, while Gilderreth nodded in the affirmative. "This is unprecedentedly short for a devil's contract."

In order to hide loopholes and traps, devil's contracts are usually very complicated to revise. Just like the contract Mephisto settled in the human world last time, it was more than ten meters long when it was thrown out. It took a whole night of review to complete it.But the content of this contract is only a short sentence, and there are no additional terms. This is very abnormal.

And after Evanson carefully read the contents of the contract several times in his mind, his expression became very strange, "Your Majesty Marshal, are you sure that what you just said is the original text of the contract, and there are no missing words in the middle?" "

"Not at all, this is the original text of the contract." Gilderreth shook his head and assured.

This suddenly made Evanson's expression even weirder. He realized that this contract was not without loopholes, but it was because of the existence of this loophole that it was so incredible.Seeing Evanson's expression, his face twitched unnaturally, and then

Silently he tilted his head to one side.

"Your Excellency Marshal." Evanson started walking around the room. "I must remind you that although this contract is brief, there is a huge loophole hidden in it."

"Oh" Gilderreth looked at Evanson alertly, "I'd like to hear the details."

"The first clause of this contract is that Gilderreth will help Mephisto open the door to hell in the human world. According to this clause, it does not directly indicate the method you want to use to open the door to hell. It can be in your hands. The Rubik's Cube could also be something else, so Mephisto's act of letting me retrieve a Rubik's Cube is not considered a breach of contract."

It turned out to be like this. There was no calculation or use. It was not because he had mastered the know-how of the punishment mechanism. It was because doing so was not considered a breach of contract at all. But the biggest problem at the moment is not this.

"I see." Gilderreth nodded, "That's to make it more difficult for me. However, the Rubik's Cube I ordered people to build is the most convenient way to open the door to hell, and you are the only way I know. , I can’t possibly let you take it away.”

"This is not the crux of the problem. It can be said that this is no longer a problem." Evanson stopped and looked at Gilderreth and said, "The contract only said that you help Mephisto open the door to hell, and it did not ask you to It must be successful, and it doesn’t say how much help you want to give, right?”

"What does this mean?" Gilderreth's eyes widened, and those eyes began to move rapidly.

"It means" Evanson scratched his head. He himself didn't believe that this kind of thing would happen. "When you just signed the contract, all you need to do is look up to the sky and roar. I, Gilderreth, will help Morpheus." You have tried your best to open the gate to hell, and then even if you do nothing or just think about the method in your mind, your obligations under the contract will be completed."

"But what if it's like this?" Gilderreth suddenly looked shocked. The first thing he thought of was that there were such big loopholes in this contract. Could it be that it was a condition for entrusting Jeanne d'Arc's soul to travel? Possibility of opportunism.

"There is no room for manipulation in the second clause of the contract." Evanson shook his head and said, "Mephisto retrieves the soul of Joan of Arc. There are no ambiguous words in it. It is a clause that must be implemented. The only ambiguity can be The reason is that he didn't agree on a specific time."

"So in my opinion, there is only one loophole in this contract, and this loophole is completely beneficial to you. On the contrary, it restricts Mephisto."

"How could this happen?" Gilderreth couldn't believe it at all.Logically speaking, the loopholes in this contract are very obvious. With his intelligence, he can completely see it if he is willing to calm down and read it several times.

But the bad thing is that she takes this contract too seriously. No, it should be that he takes the soul of Joan of Arc too seriously. He regards resurrecting Joan of Arc as the greatest wish in his life.Therefore, he regarded everything related to this as extremely important and did not dare to have the slightest idea of ​​opportunism.

Therefore, under this psychological influence, he had subconsciously ignored this loophole.

"Devils are good at leaving loopholes in contracts. If he is willing, it is really easy to reverse the profit side and leave a loophole that clearly benefits me." Gilderes held it up with his hand. He set his chin and analyzed it carefully, "But why did he do this? Not only did he make no profit in this transaction, but according to the transaction content, she simply lost a lot of money."

"Who knows?" Evenson couldn't tell what Mephisto was thinking. "Unless it's because this contract is the best interest for him, you can do your best in opening the door to hell, even if you can't. It doesn’t matter, all he needs is this contract.”

"What's so important about this contract?" Gilderais suddenly narrowed his eyes and saw the Hell Princess Falina who had silently walked aside. This person has the closest relationship with Mephisto. Maybe he can help his father to the end. She is thinking about something, and judging from her current appearance, she must know something. "Your Highness, do you have anything to explain?"

"Well" Falina turned her head and glanced left and right, "Do I have to say it?"

"Of course, Your Royal Highness, the Princess, has the right to remain silent. Besides, we have been friends for so long." Gilderais rubbed his hands together with a very kind expression. "You must be very clear about how many ways there are to make a beautiful woman be with you." Confess your feelings in front of me.”

"It's nothing. My relationship with my father is not good." Falina immediately shook her head. "How can I say this? The devil likes to make deals and sign contracts with humans. In addition to getting the maximum reward and enjoying fun, it's because of the devil Power can be derived from the contract itself.”

"A large part of the reason why my father is able to come and go frequently without being discovered by anyone is that too many people have signed contracts with him."

"This answer doesn't seem very comprehensive." Gilderes pondered for a moment, and then asked, "You haven't answered yet why your father treated me so favorably and left such a loophole in the contract that was beneficial to me."

"Uh" Falina's expression was stagnant. "Well, that village girl, ah, no, it was the day when Saint Joan of Arc was martyred. My father was very angry when he returned to hell, and he even framed the Saint. Joan of Arc's people, from bishops to kings and even to the pope, all reserved rooms in hell. And after they moved in, he even welded the doors shut himself."

"And for a long time after that, he kept talking about Joan of Arc, and the expression on his face was simply something I had never seen before. Therefore, at that time, Wu Xin Mo and I both speculated that we might There will be one more little mother named Joan of Arc. You understand what I’m saying.”

What people with normal IQs don't understand is that Mephisto is in love with Joan of Arc, and he himself very much wants to find the soul of Joan of Arc and resurrect it. , this contract with Gilderes is simply a fig leaf to cover up his thoughts.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" At this time, Gilderreth was seen holding his head in his hands and shaking uncontrollably, and his whole body was trembling.

Evanson was instantly sympathetic. He went up and patted him on the shoulder, and said sincerely, "Old thief Murphy has no conscience. I will live and die with the marshal. I am on your side from the bottom of my heart."
