[Count of Monte Cristo] Archon

I have thought that this time we are going to swear to each other in the name of the lord to decide the future sovereignty of a new plane. This is no longer something that ordinary judges can decide.And if we divide the spoils in the future, ah, what is there to be dissatisfied with the results, as the seventh-level lords of the abyss, where can we find our representatives to be able to check each other?God's Domain? "

Bone Dragon's expression is extremely sincere, the tone of each word is extremely well-placed, and the performance is beyond reproach.The lords were choked by his words and rolled their eyes.The higher the demons are, the more they value oaths. Since they became lords, they have never sworn in front of anyone, let alone against opponents who are as cunning as themselves.Based on their suspicious nature, every time they talk, they are desperately looking for loopholes in each other's words, and the cooperation is really reached in the form of a contract. Ah, sorry, I have never seen such a thing exist since their birth.In the abyss, the most untrustworthy thing is the oath. If you don't want to be sold out, it's better to honestly use your head to think about how to use each other.

Therefore, they have never taken an oath, and of course they have never tried this system that has been popular in the abyss for a long time.

From the very beginning, they have been working together to set up a language trap for Edmund. Frustration and concessions are all illusions. Their real purpose is to make Edmond propose to sign a contract in order to protect his own interests. As long as they sign the contract of rules, they will There are ways to influence the course of things.Human judges don't understand the rules of the plane, and can only judge based on human legal provisions; while human laws are full of loopholes, relying on the eloquence of demons, it is not difficult to persuade judges to favor their own. one side.Even if Edmund was lucky enough to get the judge's approval, the seven representatives sitting in the auditorium still had the right to vote to reset the result of the trial.In a six-to-one format, there is no doubt whoever loses wins.

"Yes, it seems that there are many problems." Invitia said regretfully, staring at Edmond with red eyes, "Then what should I do?"

"Let's swear by our next contract." Edmund said with a smile, "Since the words of the new plane cannot be avoided in the contract, and the existing contract laws cannot be incorporated, let's swear by the rules of the abyss. With us I swear to the next contract, I will lead you to a new plane, but you must guarantee my life and property. If someone violates the agreement, the next time the mission is performed, the object of the contract will be my great father. How about it? Does anyone dare to come?"

Lords: "..."

It seems, it seems, there is nothing wrong! ! ?And it sounds like they are still relatively cheap! ! ?After all, the younger the demon, the easier it is to be summoned. Demons like them are much less likely to be summoned than Edmond. The next time they accept a mission may be hundreds of years later. During this period of time It is enough for them to share the benefits of the new plane...

...But, is Edmond II stupid! ! !Edmond I has been notarized dead by the God of Contract, even if they made such an oath, it is impossible for them to be summoned by Edmond I for the next mission! !

Unbelievable expressions rarely appeared on the faces of the six lords.Edmund waited quietly for a few seconds, then sighed regretfully: "Huh? Can't you? Then think again..."

Faster than his voice fell were six neat "swish" sounds, and rolls of parchment were unrolled from the air and rolled all the way to Edmund's feet.Under the golden light, the densely packed articles on the paper made people dizzy.

Edmund was no exception to this result. He raised his hand with a smile, and dropped a roll of parchment in his hand: "Then, let's check the respective terms..."

-

The contract was signed very smoothly. Although there were some twists and turns at the beginning, the process was incredibly smooth.Both parties who signed the contract were great demons of equal rank and status, and the terms offered by each other were also very consistent with the rules of the abyss.Although it is inevitable to habitually use language traps, under the sharp eyes of opponents at the same level, all loopholes cannot be hidden.So in the end, they almost signed all the contracts in a very harmonious and affectionate manner.

But it is precisely because the process is so smooth that people feel that nothing is right.The seven lords put away their own contracts with their own ghosts, desperately thinking about where they fell into each other's schemes.Of course, they all left behind in this contract, so they absolutely did not believe that the other party did not leave behind at this time.

Even people from the same camp cannot be trusted in this situation.So for these six lords, this contract does not seem so satisfactory.However, with the exception of Edmund, he was one of the more satisfied with his results.

In fact, he couldn't be dissatisfied.

The smile of the Abyssal Bone Dragon was so evil that it was almost like a black mist.He moved his fingers triumphantly, while humming a little tune, he quickly rolled up the long contract scroll.Things have come to this, these lovely lords have no room for repentance. "Stupidity is contagious" is a good saying.After this incident, I would like to thank Laksilla a lot.

Laxialia always felt that there was something wrong with the way he looked at her, so she looked at her suspiciously.Edmund has already warmly greeted: "Let's go, dear lords, the journey to Xintiandi is ahead!"

He opened the plane channel, and the purple light of space turbulence was faintly visible in the dark channel.The lords looked at each other and walked in one by one.

There was an oath to back it up, and they were not worried about what Edmund would do.

Laxialia was the last to go in.When he passed by Edmond, he finally couldn't help asking: "... Could it be that the God of Contract is really your father?"

"..."

Edmund looked at him seriously, fell silent for a moment, and said sincerely: "Laxia, we have to admit one thing, even the smarter one among idiots, he is still an idiot."

Laxialia: "..."

Lying|trough! ! !What is wrong! ! ! ! ! ?

40. Chapter 40

Laxialia, who was classified as a first-class idiot, followed the lords and passed through the space tunnel.Although she became suspicious, Laxialia did not doubt that Edmund would act in such a place.His own racial talent is space, and his attainments in this area can even kill a master god of the space priesthood. Of course, it can be seen whether there is a ghost in this passage-it looks like it is completely opened up by the little ghost Edmond himself. It is a rough product that is full of spatial turbulence everywhere. If the power is not strong enough, it will be easily drawn into other planes... On the other side of the passage, Laxialia can only vaguely feel a very The thick barrier of planes should be the new world that Edmond talked about.

Plane barriers are quite magical existences.Scholars in Ryan World define a plane as an existence similar to a pomegranate. Ryan World is the whole pomegranate, and the major planes are the pomegranate seeds inside, which wrap the major planes and separate them from each other. Yes, it is the pulp of the pomegranate.They are very close to each other, as long as you break through the barrier of the plane, you can reach another plane, but the barrier of the plane is invisible and intangible, and the existence of the plane is even more magical, unless you know that there is such a plane on the opposite side Otherwise, no matter how many times you pass through there, it will be nothing but a void.

Therefore, since ancient times, the process of discovering new planes has been very difficult, and the demons have undoubtedly made very important contributions in this process.Through accidental or deliberate summons, they can reach one plane after another, record the coordinates after completing the task, and those with strong power can take the plane as their own, but most of the demons who are not powerful enough will I can only choose to cooperate with the existence that has the ability to establish a plane channel...

There is another very important issue, the thickness of the plane barrier is also related to the difficulty of summoning demons.If the barrier of the plane is too thick, and the summoner cannot pay enough to convey the will beyond the barrier, the act of summoning will fail.The reason why Edmund was able to arrive at this plane by coincidence was entirely because he "fortunately" encountered a once-in-a-lifetime contract, and the person who summoned him had a profound influence on this world, even because he A person who distorted the course of history due to his destiny, so at the cost of all future influences on the world, or "luck", Edmond Dantès recruited the demon Edmond II... and therefore in Without realizing it, he gave Edmond his soul, life and even the whole world.

I don't know if his devoured soul is still conscious, will he feel regret for his impulsiveness.

Whether he regretted it or not, Edmund was very happy now.He twirled the contract scroll that had shrunk to the size of a thumb, and shamelessly connected with the God of Contract.But in an instant, the contract has silently completed an important transformation from rules to rules.

Edmond cheated without burden.Knowing their close relationship with the God of Contract, these demons unsuspectingly stayed in the same space with themselves after signing the contract. Principle... Are they stupid?

The lords are certainly not stupid, they are just a little excited when faced with huge benefits at their fingertips.The abyss is a bitter place, so barren that it’s almost useless. Basically, you can only plunder some resources when you are at war with the gods. The poorer lords (such as Edmond) even use the harvested undead as assets... this But it’s a place where even the great lord has to go to the world to sell his body once a year (Lakesilla), and the most knowledgeable lord of the abyss can’t get enough to eat every day (Gule), so after hearing Ed How could they not feel ecstatic after Meng's description?

Although out of a prudent instinct, what they come now are clones, but once the benefits of the new plane can be confirmed, their real bodies can follow the mark and descend instantly.As for the local god who beat Edmond into a mess?It's just because Edmond lost his body, and the other party has a natural advantage in faith.When several big demon lords who have lived thousands of years join forces, even the original god will be afraid-besides, according to Edmond, the one he met is only in the growth stage, a little What are the little infant gods?

Demons are cunning by nature, and the lords can live for so many years and sit safely in their current positions, so there is no need to say more about their own caution.However, the devil's motto is "As long as there is a one percent possibility, dare to gamble with everything", they think they are sure of winning, and of course they will fall into Edmond's trap this time.

The original sin of arrogance is really hard to guard against.

Edmond touched his face slowly, and the light power left by Ulysses was instantly swallowed by the dark lightning.In this way, he notified Ulysses to get ready, and then the old god observed the surroundings from the ground.This group of old devils who have been around for many years are all extremely cunning, and their minds are infinitely more complicated than those of gods of the same age. If they want to deceive them, they will not be successful. Somebody will come back to his senses... so with the hunter's patience and respect for the opponent, he has to add a few more layers of insurance.

The dragon's eyes fell on Laxia's back, and the Lord of Lust | Desire shuddered inexplicably.

He is in an embarrassing situation now.After being tricked by Edmond, Laxialia basically counted in his thief ship and was forced to become Edmond's accomplice in the eyes of his natural allies.But also because of this, from a relatively outsider's point of view, Laxialia only felt that the contract Edmund signed with them was full of strangeness... Although it seems that the terms listed in the contract are nothing The problem, but put it on Edmond, if there is no problem, it is the biggest problem!

Could it be that Edmund couldn't see that the contract he signed was all about stealing a tiger's skin?The notarization condition he proposed will not be taken seriously by anyone!As long as he gets the specific coordinates of the new plane, he will never return to the abyss dead... Not to mention that Edmond I's death was notarized by the god of contract who claims to never lie, even if Edmond I If he is not dead, can he meet the conditions for summoning?

He is a devil!

Laxialia felt in his heart that there must be some kind of trap, but like the other lords, he didn't think Edmund had the ability to manipulate the contract. At most, he placed the trap on a new plane.Although Edmund described it well and the contract was flawless, who could guarantee that the plane he described was the one he discovered?Maybe he just discovered a barren plane with few people, and used this plane as a trap to make them fall into the bait?

However, whether there is such a plane is not a disadvantage to the lords.Because of Edmond I, they were quite afraid of Edmond's growth potential. If it wasn't for the God of Contract watching over their heads, they would have wanted to kill this unsightly guy a long time ago.If this plane does not exist, it means that Edmund has deceived them with the contract, and the lords will find a logical reason to kill him without being retaliated by the God of Contract—but, considering that Edmond himself cannot I can't see this, so out of caution, this plane that lures them to the bait must exist.It's just that if you want to get it smoothly, you may still have to use some small means.

The lords didn't mind having a little fun with Edmund, but their time was precious, so it wouldn't do to waste it all the time with Edmond.The nature of the space passage provided by Edmond is extremely unstable, which just became the reason for them to exert their strength-a space tunnel that collapsed halfway could not bring them to any end point. In order to complete the contract, Edmond Shouldn't it provide a stable coordinate?

... Laxialia was unfortunately the gun they chose.

For the Lord of Lust | Desire, making a choice is not difficult.On the one hand, there is Edmond, who is absolutely impossible to become an ally with him, and on the other hand, the lords who are natural allies. Although he is not willing to be used as a gunman, under the current situation where the lords have already doubted him, he If you don't do anything to strengthen the alliance, you will be tantamount to acquiescing to Edmond's framing, and you will completely stand on the opposite side from your allies...

However, Laclecia also knew that even if he did what his allies asked, it would be impossible for them to trust him anymore.Just like the reason why they signed the contract with Edmund, it is a dream for them to be able to remove one of the people who share the cake.Even if they are children, they can be sold after weighing the benefits, not to mention that the relationship between the lords has not been very good for thousands of years?

This natural alliance that was faintly formed before Edmond's threat was too easily disintegrated.Laxialia is not willing to be ruthlessly abandoned after being used as a gunman. He even intends to refuse such a thankless thing... But under Su Pope's light, seemingly threatening gaze, Laxialia still reluctantly moved forward.

He... his legs are a little soft...

Between being unlucky or someone else's unlucky, Laxia naturally chose the latter.He slowed down, walked beside Edmond, and said with a smile in the tone of a senior: "You are still young after all, Edmond, the nature of this space passage is very unstable, are you sure it can bring us To the right end?"

Edmund pretended not to understand what he meant, opened his eyes wide, and shamelessly showed an innocent expression: "What? Your Majesty, I agree with your accomplishments in the field of space, but you shouldn't doubt My level. In fact, with the current prevalence of space thieves, if my passage is perfect and strong, how long do you think I can keep the fragrant new plane hidden?"

Laxialia was not fooled.He elongated his voice and said slowly: "Sometimes it is a good thing to be cautious, but, Edmond, don't you think that such a passage is incompatible with the new plane and our identity? Who would want to believe that there will be blooming flowers at the end of the road?"

His tone was obviously angry and threatening, but Edmund shrugged and laughed: "But according to the consensus of Ryan scholars, plants will only grow more luxuriantly on *'s corpses and excrement, right? What's more, if the horse doesn't want to drop its hooves, what effect does it have on us? As far as I am concerned..." He drew a long end, and said slowly: "Don't you think that as long as the goat's Wouldn't it be enough if the hooves were willing to fall?"

Laxialia's face turned green instantly! !

Among the lords, due to the particularity of demon talent, Laxialia is the only one who needs to frequently go to various planes to solve problems, and therefore becomes the most famous one among all demons, and is regarded as a demon. typical image.And his original demon body was a tall and handsome young man with two horns on his head, but with sharp nails and a pair of goat's hooves! !

There were two pieces of ridicule among the lords. Everyone knew that this sentence could only be about Laxia.But after the laughter fell behind, they turned around unhurriedly and stood beside Laxia.

The sweetness still needs to be given, otherwise such an easy-to-use gun will not be found next time.Besides, Edmund was obviously talking about Laxialia, but he was actually resisting the urging of the lords... Is he regretting his hasty actions, or is there really something tricky in that new plane?

"Dear Your Majesty Edmond II," Guller, who seldom spoke, was the first to say, "Don't you think this tunnel is really difficult to use?"

Edmond put on a surprised and innocent look. Anyone who saw his posture could understand his resistance to the end: "Is there? But I think it can still persist until we reach our destination."

Su Bobayer suddenly laughed, and embraced the black-faced Laxialia, the huge power belonging to the high-level great demon slowly radiated, oppressing the already unstable temporary passage to pieces.But in a short time, except for the small space they were in, the entire plane channel was transformed into a space turbulence again, disappearing without a trace.

"Is it... Then from now on, I'm afraid it will no longer be able to perform such a duty."

"..."

Edmund looked at him for a moment, and slowly raised the corners of his lips.As if realizing that he was in a bad situation, his attitude instantly softened, and he bowed with a smile, and a mirror appeared in his hand: "Then, as you wish... this is the key to the new plane. Your Majesties, Who wants to open it first?"
