Chapter 166 Selling the future to the devil (lead update 4)

Klein: "."

Come again? Am I going to die again?

Is it over?

He cut off spiritual contact with the devil and carefully thought about everything that had happened during the time he came to Backlund.

The biggest crisis came from the ambassador of Intis, but he had already used secret means to make the other party die of assassination, and the means sent by the other party, the Sequence 5 Secret Puppet Master, also died from the ravings of Miss Wraith and the True Creator. among.

What else?

Hidden danger in Tingen? That sealed object numbered 0-08?

However, he has a new identity now, and those hidden dangers should have been cut off with his previous death.

Klein had no doubt that the devil was lying. He was convinced that for people at that level, lying to force oneself did not make any sense.

"Fortunately, it only predicted my own death, not the people around me. I don't have many people around me anymore."

Klein gave a sad and bitter smile, sat on the high-backed stool, and revealed a piece of paper and a line of words.

"The source of the danger I faced."

Reciting it silently seven times in his mind, he closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair.

This is dream divination, which allows the diviner to see some pictures.

But the picture did not appear. Klein just heard a voice, a middle-aged man, with a somewhat domineering tone.

"The person I want to kill is a detective, his name is——"

"Sherlock Moriarty."

The sound stopped suddenly, and Klein suddenly opened his eyes.

There is so little information that can be used for divination, and spiritual divination can only get this little sound.

"The other party came for my fake name, which means it is indeed not a hidden danger caused by the incident in Tingen City."

He carefully speculated on the content of the words he heard in the dream divination: "So, I will encounter an assassination?"

"Who did I mess with?"

He tried again to divine the source of the voice, but failed.

"I am also protected by Miss Wraith Soul. She is a Sequence 5 Transcendent. Even so, the foreshadowing of danger is still so strong that the devil even threatened that I would die."

"Could the person who came to assassinate me be a demigod?"

Klein's spine went cold. He was silent for a moment to calm down, and then continued his analysis: "It's unlikely. The existence of a demigod will not come to assassinate me. It should be a very powerful Sequence 5, such as Mr. A. Such a shepherd.”

"What Miss Wraith Soul is good at is not protection. This can also be seen in the previous battle with the secret puppet master."

"In other words, with what I currently have at my disposal, I'm afraid it will be difficult to face this unknown assassination."

Klein stood up and walked to the crimson star belonging to the devil.

"A deal with the devil in exchange for his protection?"

"No, the devil will definitely make very excessive demands. This has been proven before. Although he claims to be fair, he always puts forward the price himself, and it is often not money. I may not be able to meet his demands."

"Exchange some information to increase the chance of survival. Then we can think of a way. If it doesn't work, ask Mr. Azik for help. I don't know if he is in Backlund now, and I haven't told him about my resurrection from the dead. "

He gritted his teeth and spiritually touched the crimson stars.

Darkness filled the air, followed by the devil's malicious laughter: "Long time no see, Mr. Fool."

"I want to know the information about your prophecy. What is the price?" Klein asked straight to the point, not interested in chatting with the devil.

"How about one-fifth of your soul?" The devil's voice reached Klein's ears: "Don't worry, I won't take it away for the time being, I'm just keeping accounts."

"I will not trade my soul, nor my body and abilities." Klein said solemnly: "This is not fair to me. You know, death is not a price I cannot bear."

"The prices I offer are all fair." The devil chuckled and said, "So, what are you willing to pay? In other words, Mr. Fool, what else do you have besides what you just said? Is it something I can appreciate?"

Klein: "."

Feeling the pressure of poverty.

"I still have knowledge." Klein said: "I can trade many potion formulas with you, including even the formulas and rituals for the main materials of Sequence 4."

"Even...hehe." The devil picked out a word and laughed sarcastically.

Klein couldn't help but clenched his fists.

Indeed, for a being of the devil's level, the Sequence 4 potion formula is not considered high-end at all.

"Your knowledge is clearly priced, Mr. Fool." The devil said: "If you want to sell it, I can trade with you at any time, but that will not exchange for my information and help."

it is as expected.

The devil doesn't care about that knowledge at all. If he takes the initiative to request the other party, the price paid must be the part of the soul or body that the devil is interested in.

Klein suddenly remembered the information that Miss Justice mentioned before. The man named Mr. Reid, who was suspected of being able to make a deal with the devil, made a deal with the devil during a certain crisis for the opportunity for the devil's favored ones to take action. Although only It only took three seconds, but how could an ordinary person pay for such chips?

Moreover, according to Audrey, Mr. Reid showed no signs of losing his lifespan or losing his soul.

So, Klein said: "What if I ask your favored one for help like Mr. Reid did? What price should I pay?"

Klein does not hide the fact that he knows the existence of Mr. Reid. After all, all his actions are under the gaze of the devil, including Miss Justice's words in the Tarot Club.

"You want to know what he paid for it, right?" the devil said happily: "I can't tell you, that's the client's secret. The only thing I can tell you is that it's very expensive."

"You are neither willing to sell your soul nor your body, so are you willing to sell your future?"

"The future?" Klein was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"My trading methods can be very flexible, Mr. Fool." The devil's tone was bewitching: "Of course, just for you, based on what I want from you, I am willing to give you some privileges."

"Flexible." Klein was silent for a moment: "What exactly do you want?"

"Magician's potion ingredients, Mr. Fool." The devil spoke slowly.

"I don't have this thing." Klein said calmly: "I just got the magician's potion formula tonight."

"You will." The devil said: "To be precise, you will entrust the Hanged Man to obtain all the spinal fluid of the Evil Pattern Black Panther, and entrust the Sun to obtain the true rhizome of the Mist Tree Man, and then on October 10th, you will That day you will receive all the ingredients for the magician’s potion.”

A chill ran down Klein's spine, not only because the other party detailed the time and behavior of his future scene, but also because he finally understood what the devil was saying.

Trading the future.

The magician's potion has no meaning to the devil, but it is of great significance to him, because the Sequence 7 materials are already quite rare and are not so easy to collect.

If you trade the magician's potion to the devil, your promotion will most likely be greatly delayed.

Is this the devil's purpose? Delaying your own growth? But isn't his purpose just to attack Gray Mist when he grows up enough to control Gray Mist?

No, maybe the devil isn't ready either.

The corners of Klein's mouth raised slightly: "Mr. Devil, are you afraid that I will grow up too fast?"

"I have never concealed my attitude, right?" The devil was unexpectedly frank: "Mr. Fool, the day when I capture the gray mist will eventually come. Before that, I don't mind making the story more twists and turns."

"I think this will be a fair price that both you and I can accept."

"What can I get in exchange?" Klein asked directly.

"Ten seconds." The devil said, "I think this time is enough if you don't waste it."

Klein was lost in thought.

According to the current information, the devil's favored one is a giant dragon, a dragon that can instantly kill a Sequence 6 demon. In other words, the opponent's level is very likely to be above that of a demigod.

A mere Sequence 7 potion material can be exchanged for the help of a demigod, which is definitely a sure profit. And if you can get one copy of those materials, you can get a second copy, but it will take more time.

No matter how you look at it, this is a good deal.

but

Klein reminded himself in his heart that he must not follow the devil's ideas. Those bright and attractive fruits are full of sinister traps.

"Since my future can be used as a bargaining chip, that means I can propose this deal to you at any time, right?" Klein said.

"Only before you become a magician." The devil said: "Moreover, the value of the future is not static. I must remind you that the price I want is the future, not a bottle of magic potion."

"It's easy to understand." Klein nodded: "Then, let's talk about other transactions."

"I want to sell some potion recipes."

The devil said slowly: "It seems that you want to keep the price tag for your future."

"I must warn you that death is approaching."

"If it gets to that point, I can contact you at any time, right?" Klein said, "Now, I think I might be able to struggle on my own."

He raised his head slightly, his black pupils staring directly into the darkness in front of him.

The devil in the darkness must have hidden a lot of malice in the transaction, trying to control and use himself. But thinking about it from another angle, why can't he use the other party?

The essence of that malicious transaction, if you think about it from another angle, isn't it just an opportunity to summon demigods to take action at a critical moment?

"This time, the potion recipes I want to sell will be the Witch of Joy, the Priest of Light, the Magician, the Mind Reader and the Faceless Man."

"Make a price, Mr. Devil."
