Amway from heaven
Work related
You take orders directly from me. "
"Ah!" The officer opened his mouth wide and hurried forward to salute: "Yes, Your Excellency Duke! Resolutely obey your command!"
☆、A trap in mid-air
As expected, the rainy season in hell did not come earlier because of a heavy rain as Lei said.After walking for two days, the team escorting Count Octobe had to stop in a small town for necessary supplies.
The surviving carriages were basically empty. With a wave of his hand, the Earl bought all the food and water in the market.The mercenaries were given a half-day vacation, and even though Butler Cripps had repeatedly reiterated not to leave the hotel, Cain decided to take this opportunity to sneak out and contact the nobleman he knew.Ray also went out not long after, and he told Mikael that he was going to find materials for making supper in the nearby rock crevices.
The trainee angel stayed in the room alone to read the book, and when he read less than twenty pages, there was a knock on the door.
"Are you looking for me, Miss Octobe?" Mikael was surprised by the people outside the door. This was the first time he had close contact with the well-known Miss Octobe.
The earl's daughter wore an emerald-encrusted forehead, and her haggard face was reminiscent of her intermittent headaches.
"Yes, Mr. Mercenary. Would you like me to sit in for a while?" Miss Octobe smiled at Mikael.
Mikael frowned. When Miss Octobe looked at him, he felt like someone was spying on him, but the other party didn't seem to have any malicious intent, just out of curiosity.
"Come in." Mikael stepped aside to make way.
The inns in the town were in poor condition, with only crude furniture in the rooms.Miss Octobe pulled out a chair with two fingers and sat down.
"Where are the other two mercenaries? Why aren't they in the room?" She asked curiously.
"..." Mikael was wondering whether he should lie or not.
"Did you go to the toilet?" Miss Octobe asked jokingly.The bathrooms in the hotel are shared and not in the room.
"Yes." Mikael replied without hesitation.Now that there are even reasons, it is better to take the opportunity to complete this lie.
Miss Octob's expression froze for a second, and then she spread the fan in her hand and fanned it: "I'm here to ask you to confirm a question."
She took three scrolls out of a pouch and spread them out on the rough wooden table.
"Why do you three have the same demon mark?" She stared at Mikael with burning eyes.
Mikael turned cold: "As a trainee fallen angel, I don't need to apologize for lying."
"So the marks on it are not real?" Miss Octobe cleared her throat and continued, "I know that my father didn't ask for a contract when he hired you. Gem. But now he is proven wrong. We were ambushed in the valley the day before yesterday, someone must have leaked the news. I hope you will write me the real token and use your token to sign employment with me contract."
Mikael frowned: "Impossible." He didn't have a mark at all.
"Don't rush to make a decision, you can think about it first. My father is an honorable earl, but as you can see, his strength is not strong, basically he has just reached the level of a viscount, and trainee fallen angels have always At the peak of the civilian population. My father can only summon ordinary civilians at most. It is impossible for him to summon you with a token. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your friends to protect your token. You and the other two mercenary gentlemen have always been inseparable. Your relationship should be very good, right?" Miss Octobe persuaded in a gentle tone, as if she was sure that Mikael would make concessions.
"Impossible." Mikael still refused.
Miss Octobe showed embarrassment: "If you are not willing to cooperate, I can only regretfully end this cooperation. There is really no other way."
"I won't mark you," Mikael insisted.
"That's it..." Miss Octobe looked at Mikael carefully, as if watching some spectacle, then she covered her bloody mouth with a fan and smiled softly, "That's really a pity! But you can Ask your companions what they think first, should they come back from the toilet? At the latest tomorrow morning, if you don’t want to sign a contract with the token, then we can only end the cooperative relationship. I will leave first.”
"Goodbye." Mikael sent Miss Octob out of the door.
He felt that Miss Octobe seemed to be particularly concerned about marks, and even the form that was filled out in the first place seemed to be for the purpose of obtaining mercenary marks.This in the end is why?After tonight, how many mercenaries will obediently surrender their marks?Miss Octobe's dowry has a fatal attraction to demons, maybe many people will give her the mark willingly.Besides, not continuing to cooperate means not getting the remaining gems. It is estimated that no demon is willing to work for nothing.In the final analysis, if there is a difference in strength of more than two levels, there is no need to use low-level servants at all. Such a concept has been deeply ingrained in the devil's mind, and it is easy for people to let go of their guard.
But is it really that simple?
Mikael remembered what Cain said, all the recruited mercenaries mysteriously disappeared.Could this be caused by some kind of magic related to marking?Lei once said that he is special and can surpass the limitations of summoning.He didn't realize that he was special, but it was hard to guarantee that no one in the world really had this ability.
In any case, Miss Octobe's visit gave Mikael a sense of danger.He was a little anxious, and after walking back and forth in the room for a few steps, he realized that the reason for his anxiety was that Lei and Cain had not returned home.
They are all alone and defenseless!I hope nothing happens to them, let's go out and look for them!
Mikael made up his mind.He pushed open the creaking wooden window, spread his wings, and flew out like a kite.
"what!"
Mikael spat out a mouthful of blood.He felt that he had suddenly bumped into an invisible net, and his wings were instantly fixed in mid-air by thousands of invisible wires. The huge momentum not only injured his wings, but also injured his internal organs.
Whoosh!
An arrow flew straight at him, and he had no way to dodge it, but to watch as the arrow pierced his shoulder and came out the other end.The net in the air disappeared, and his body began to fall. He only had time to protect his head before he fell to the ground.
"Catch him, he's a traitor!" The voice of the old butler Cripps came from next to his ear.
The mercenaries rushed forward, they twisted Mikael's limbs, and some even took the opportunity to punch him a few times.Blood was dripping from the corner of the apprentice angel's mouth, his blond hair was covered with mud, and he was turned in front of the countess in a state of embarrassment.
Miss Octobe winked at Mikael, as if saying to him: "We met again so soon!"
"Master Octobe has long suspected that he and his accomplices are traitors, and today our people caught this beast that was about to deliver a letter from the cliff today." Butler Cripps pushed Cain come over.
Cain's old vest had been torn wide open, and his face was pitifully bruised and swollen.
"The other person ran away when he saw us, but I guess he can't do anything!" Butler Cripps stared at Mikael and Cain viciously.
The mercenaries were excited and said that the traitor should be executed, and that he must be tortured before execution.
"No, let's put them in the dungeon first! The sound of torture will give me a headache." Miss Octobe raised her hand and rubbed one temple. Against the backdrop of a box of fifth-order gems, her This action looks very charming.
Immediately there was applause for the count's daughter's benevolence, and Mikael and Cain were put in prison.
Like other places in hell, no matter how dilapidated the inn in a small town, it is necessary to build an underground cell with complete torture equipment.The sound of dripping water and the miserable green torch intensified the eerie atmosphere of the dungeon, and several demons pushed Mikael into the innermost cell alone.They found and fixed Mikael's wings with two iron clamps specially used to imprison fallen angels, and locked his hands with iron chains.
Not long after, Miss Octobe walked into the cell carefully avoiding the puddles of water on the ground.
"I thought you or the devil in clown boots belonged to Bryce, but I didn't expect him to use a stupid bird as a spy. It seems that the devil king is sometimes confused!" Miss Octobe Looking at Mikael triumphantly, behind her is the old butler Cripps.
Mikael was secretly surprised.He knew that Cain had contacted a nobleman, but he didn't expect that person to be the demon king Bryce.Cain doesn't look like a qualified spy at all, but maybe it's the unexpectedness that makes him more likely to succeed?
Mikael looked at Miss Octobe coldly: "Have you interrogated him?"
"He still needs to be interrogated?" Miss Octob spread out the fan in her hand and shook it. "Just give him two droppers of sweet ale, and he will explain everything clearly."
Mikael: "..."
"Since the stupid bird is a secret agent, there is no need to send someone to chase the escaped demon. I thought you have a good relationship, but now it seems that the friendship of the demon is really unreliable!" Miss Octobe felt a little regretful say.
"You used a no-air trap outside the window." Mikael judged, "The reason why you shot me down with an arrow is to cover up this. So in the valley before, it was your arrangement to get rid of those soldiers ?"
Miss Octobe opened her eyes slightly, with surprise on her face: "You are so smart! What else do you see?"
Mikael: "..."
"It would be great if you would give me your mark!" Miss Octobe said to herself, "I like you very much, fallen angels are much more interesting than demons. You can be my right and left hand, help me Realize my ambition."
Mikael frowned: "Do you care about the mark?"
"Yes. You must be very strange! It is only possible to summon the other party if the strength is two full ranks higher. Even a viscount, unless he reaches the peak of the viscount rank, he will not be able to command the trainee fallen angels who are at the peak among the common people. I Your 'father' doesn't have that kind of power, you think I can't use your mark at all, right?"
Miss Octobe looked at Mikael with a smile on her face, and the satisfaction on her face was beyond words.
"But I don't need to be bound by the law of summoning at all. I am special, as long as I get the mark, I can summon even a king!" She announced loudly.
Mikael's eyes widened suddenly!
☆, long overdue
"How about it, are you interested in serving me now?" Miss Octobe held Mikael's chin with a fan, "I admire you very much, you are the most interesting fallen angel I have ever seen, and you are even a little different. It looks like a fallen angel. Give me your mark, and I will show you unimaginable splendor!"
"...a lot?" Mikael whispered, more like a murmur.
Miss Octobe didn't understand: "There are so many?"
"Excuse me, are there many special people like you? You can't be bound by the law of summoning." Mikael felt that the arrow wound on his shoulder exceeded his tolerance limit, he twitched his eyebrows, and his lips trembled a little.
"How is it possible?" Miss Octobe looked surprised, "This is the ability brought by the great bloodline, I am the only one left in the world. My power is limitless, as long as you give me the mark, one day I will let you see that the whole hell surrenders at my feet! Even the only king of the legendary hell..."
"impossible."
"What's impossible?"
"It's impossible for me to give you the mark." Mikael looked determined, and in his opinion, this matter was simply beyond his ability.
Mikael's answer made Miss Octob a little angry, but she calmed down quickly.
"Impossible? What if I wrung your wings off bit by bit with a noose? Break your fingers one by one, and cut your chest open with a sharp knife so that you can see the beating of your heart clearly. By that time, Is your answer still impossible?" The cold fan tip slashed across Mikael's body, like a poisonous snake using a letter to determine the location of its prey.
"Impossible." Mikael was unmoved, because he had no marks at all.
Mademoiselle Octobe was astonished, and then she threw back her head and began to laugh, as cheerfully as if Mikael's answer was yes rather than no.
"Hahahaha... Oh, sorry... I can't believe it, haha... There is a fallen angel like you in hell! Isn't that the virtue of angels? Hahaha... It's so interesting!"
Mikael: "..."
In some respects, Miss Octobe had the truth.
"Okay, okay, I don't want your mark anymore. One more subordinate and one less subordinate don't make much difference to me. I want to be friends with you. What do you want? Power? Wealth? Beauty? Whatever you want I can achieve whatever I want for you. On the contrary, you also have to help me achieve my ambitions. Isn’t it good that friends help each other?” Miss Octobe said with a smile.
"I want..." Mikael frowned, and Miss Octobe looked at him expectantly.
Mikael cleared his throat: "I want supper."
Miss Octobe was stunned: "Snack? No problem, I'll go and get it for you..."
Before Miss Octobe could report the type of supper, the ground trembled violently, and Mikael, who was fixed on the iron clip, shook a few times.
"Earthquake?" Miss Octobe looked suspicious.
As soon as the voice hit the ground, it vibrated again.The second shock was much more violent than the previous one. The instruments of torture on the wall were rattled, and some of them fell directly to the ground. It fell through the gap, making the torch flickering.
Miss Octobe staggered and reached out to grab the nock on Mikael's shoulder.
"hiss--"
"Feel sorry."
"Your Highness!" Butler Cripps hurried into the cell to support his master, "Let's go! This is probably not an ordinary earthquake!"
"What do you mean? It's not an ordinary earthquake? Then bring him too... oops!"
Another violent shock threw Miss Octobe up and fell to the ground.Mikael felt that the entire dungeon was about to be shaken upside down, and the pegs fixing the iron frame shifted to both sides, tearing his wings sorely.His feet couldn't touch the ground, and he was almost torn to pieces as a result of experiencing a strong earthquake in the air.
"It's too late to take him, let's go, Your Highness!"
Butler Cripps hurriedly helped Miss Octobe up, and carried her towards the entrance of the dungeon.
After a while, the ground began to crack and tilt.The torch outside the cell was shaken to the ground, flashed twice and went out.Mikael could no longer see the situation of the entrance clearly.He sighed, knowing that the supper he was waiting for probably wouldn't come.Ray couldn't make it in time, and now he's on his own.
"For glory and justice!" The apprentice angel muttered in his heart.
The earthquake became more and more intense, and the cell was completely distorted. Countless large and small stones fell from the ceiling, jumping and rolling on the ground like soybeans in a sieve.Mikael took a deep breath, and suddenly let his body fall down!
"what!!!"
He opened his mouth wide, his eyebrows twitched in pain, and his wings were still fixed on the iron clamp, but the pair of wings had left his body and would soon become two skeletons due to the loss of magic power.
Only by giving up your wings will you have a chance to escape!
Cold sweat soaked Mikael's body all of a sudden.He gasped and tried to forget the wound on his back, he could feel his own blood winding down his back, tearing off a part of his body was an unimaginable pain.
Gradually exerting force with both hands, Mikael pulled his body upwards vigorously, and then let go all of a sudden, using the momentum to break free from the iron chain in his hands.
Finally, on the fourth fall, one of his hands let go, and the other end of the chain fell from the wall.With his free hand he tore the chain off the other hand.
The feet finally hit the ground.
Mikael struggled to keep his footing, the loss of his wings affecting his sense of balance.The torches in the dungeon had been completely extinguished, and the ground became so soft after the earthquake that both of his feet sank.Before he had time to deal with the arrow on his shoulder, he stumbled towards the gate of the dungeon in his memory.
On the way Mikael heard a familiar voice.He groped to find the thrush chained to a bird stand.Cain was clearly still awake, belching and muttering "His Royal Highness Brace".
Mikael undid the chains from Cain's feet.He walked near the entrance and found that the entrance was completely blocked by rocks.The ground under his feet was incredibly soft, and he even felt a force pulling him down.It's not like being trapped in a dungeon, it's more like falling into a swamp.
Fortunately, the magic power in the body was not lost much.
Mikael chanted the spell, and a white hammer gradually took shape in his hand.The Hammer of Light is a very expensive magic, but it is very suitable for breaking through heavy obstacles.
Every swing will blow away the blocked stones a little, but at the same time Mikael's body will sink a little.In just a moment, the mud covered his thighs.Like a dangerous war, a quick move can be the difference between life and death.
The wound on his shoulder was tearing and bleeding, but the apprentice angel's movement of swinging the Hammer of Light did not stop at all.Even with all his strength, the brightness of Hammer of Light is still weakening a little bit.Mikael has experienced despair, and Cain is dreaming and dying in his pocket, knowing nothing about it.
Finally, when the Hammer of Light dissipated, he saw the light!
must go out!leave here!
The strong willpower made Mikael burst out with amazing strength again. He grabbed the stones outside and pulled his body out of the quagmire little by little!His fingers were covered in blood and mud, shaped like ghost claws.
"Hi! What's going on? Ah! Mikael, what's the matter with you?" Cain flapped his wings and flew into the sky, circling above Mikael, "What the hell is going on?!"
The town where the mercenaries stopped for supplies has turned into a swamp, and all living or dead things are being swallowed by the swamp little by little!
The demons wanted to escape, but they couldn't escape as fast as they could sink.Some demons stood terrified on the ruins of buildings, while others spread their fleshy wings and took to the sky.But soon a giant eagle flew over from the sky. Its spread wings were 30 meters long, and it easily slapped the demon flying to the sky back to the ground.
Cain was completely stunned.Mikael is lying face down on the wreckage of the hotel, but the whole hotel is sinking!
"Wood..." Mikael barely turned over.
"What?" Cain turned into a boy and flew to his side.
"Wood doesn't sink that fast, get some planks."
"Ah! Good!"
In his haste, Cain found a door and partitions on some chests.Mikael used the remaining magic power to connect the planks together, and then flipped over.
"Lie down beside me, don't move around," he told Cain.There were only a few demons left in the sky, and Cain could easily attract the giant eagle's attention if he flew again.
The inn quickly disappeared beneath them, but the broad planks persisted on the surface of the swamp.
Mikael heaved a sigh of relief, he knew that the danger was far from over, but this was already the limit of what he could do.
"Your back is bleeding..." Cain looked at Mikael worriedly, he couldn't imagine the pain of losing two wings, "Do you want me to help you stop the bleeding?"
"Don't use it now, if you move around, the plank will lose its balance." Mikael understood that lying on the plank like this is not a long-term solution. The town suddenly turned into a swamp, which is more like the power of magic than nature. He must regain his strength as soon as possible.
Not far away, a terrible roar suddenly erupted.Cain's eyes widened, and he could almost stuff an apple into his mouth.
"God! What is that? What a big beast!"
About 30 meters away from them, a strange beast appeared out of thin air.His appearance is like a gigantic octopus, and his eyes alone are as tall as a person!His wrists are strong and covered with crimson suckers.Relying on the strength of his eight wrists slapping the mud, he can actually swim in the swamp!The giant eagle in the sky tried to intercept the alien beast, but was quickly blown away.
Mikael saw Miss Octob and Butler Phillips on top of the octopus, and it seemed that this strange beast was the one that falsely attacked them in the valley.
Just as the beast was about to swim out of the swamp, a blond man in a black robe stood in front of the beast, followed by many soldiers.
"Poor people who despise my king, do you still want to get out alive?" the blond man said with a smile.
"Are you hindering me? The lackey of the demon king Bryce, why don't you let these demons go?" Miss Octob asked loudly standing on the head of the strange beast.
"Since they have been blinded by greed, I don't mind letting them go under the swamp to appreciate the eternal darkness." The blond man raised his hand, and the giant eagle in the sky became a normal size and landed on his arm .
"Damn it! Let's rush out!" Miss Octob stomped on the head of the beast.
Mikael only had time to see the beast roaring and waving its wrists before his eyes were attracted by other things.
"thunder?"
Ray walked towards the plank where Mikael was lying, his clown boots didn't get a speck of mud, it was as if the ground was solid.
"Damn it..." The Hell Traveler paused, looking down at his extremely embarrassed companion. "Where are your wings?" He carefully lifted Mikael up, half-embracing him in his arms.The change in pressure didn't cause the plank to tip over, it was as smooth as if it were glued to the surface of a swamp.
"It's sinking." Mikael glanced at his feet regretfully.
"Wonderful, this is really wonderful..."
Even Mikael felt the gloomy aura on Lei, as if he was brewing a storm.Mikael frowned, planning to tell his friend about Miss Octobe's special features.
"Miss Octobe, she is..."
"Go to hell!"
An unprecedented thick lightning fell from the sky, directly engulfing the entire octopus and everyone around it!
"Wait……"
☆, grilled octopus
Mikael never expected to witness such a spectacle!
The dazzling lightning twisted and stretched in mid-air, like the silent roar of the legendary ferocious Hydra.Its power is so terrifying, it seems that even the world can be split in two by it.Soon, the splashing arc blasted the ground full of holes.However, this is not the end.The power of thunder and lightning gradually accumulated to the limit, and there was nothing to carry it anymore.In the end, the huge electric snake shrank and exploded violently, leaving a huge crater on the ground, even wider than the entire town!
Cain's mouth grew wide, and he didn't know what to say at all.He only recognized the left and right hands of the Demon King just a second ago, but now the most powerful duke in the legend has been smashed to death by lightning!And that octopus-shaped beast, there is not even a scum left!
"Wait a minute!" Mikael came to his senses for the first time, "Miss Octobe, is she... dead?"
"Tsk tsk, she ran away!" Lei fiercely stared at the huge hole in front of him, and retracted the black nails that had just protruded from his fingers unwillingly. "But I roughly know who is protecting her." He said through gritted teeth.
"Then...that Lord Agares...?" Cain asked in a low voice.
Ray gave Cain a supercilious look, who immediately came to his senses, lay down livid and pretended to be a dead bird.
The terrible guy who can kill the Duke with one blow, don't pay attention to me, don't pay attention to me...
Cain repeated it silently in his heart.
"As long as she doesn't die, she may be the person you are looking for. By the way, is this ability to manipulate lightning inborn?" Mikael was very curious. If this is lightning magic, he would be very surprised. Want to learn, "Can you let me go? I can stand still, it just takes a little time. The ground seems not as soft as before."
"What you need is not time, but treatment! Don't you trust me and don't want to hand over your back to me?" Lei asked.
"I believe in you." Although his face was pale and his body was drenched in mud and cold sweat, Mikael's voice was calm.Ray's words were not very precise, but he had no intention of arguing.Ray is a trustworthy partner, and of course he is willing to hand over his back injury to Lei.
"Then listen to me!"
Ray took out his camel from the space prop, carried Mikael up, and began to treat Mikael's wounds on the back of the camel that was advancing steadily.After the baptism of thunder and lightning, the originally soft surface turned into a ceramic-like texture, and it was not difficult for the camel to walk.
"Still not keeping up?" After walking a short distance, Lei suddenly turned his head and said to Cain who was still lying on the plank and pretending to be dead, "Shall I give you some encouragement?"
"no need!"
Cain put aside his ambivalence, and quickly turned into a thrush and flew over the camel.
"I'll go ahead to find the way!" He flapped his wings vigorously, determined to turn himself into an inconspicuous dot in the sky.He never thought that finding the way was such a good job!
After tearing off the clothes on Mikael's back, Lei couldn't help but gasped.Since the wings were severed, the ends of the wing bones remained on the back, turning into two white bones poking out of the body.The two long blood holes were covered with mud and many finely broken stones. Ray used his nails to dig out some, and he saw that Mikael's body was shaking.
"Hold on, I'm going to wash it for you."
Lei opened the water bag, poured clean water on Mikael's back, and then wiped the wound with a handkerchief little by little.
"Did you find the supper? I heard that Miss Octobe sent someone to catch you, but they failed to catch up." While Ray was treating the wound, Mikael held the rein tightly, and he wanted to say something to make himself distracted.
"No, I didn't find it." Lei felt aggrieved. If he hadn't had to meet someone and warn him not to get Mikael's idea, he wouldn't have left at this time.He hadn't expected that so many accidents would happen in just such a short period of time.If it weren't for the old love, Agares should have been hacked to death a hundred times!
"But I brought you grilled octopus, you'll be fine after eating it." Lei said guiltily.
"Ah! Is it that kind of delicious food?" Mikael was a little happy, but when he saw Lei directly tearing open a silk shirt to bandage his wound, he became depressed again. "This dress looks very valuable?" Although he once stained a recently worn dress because of selling fried small balls, but that one can still be worn after washing, so the shirt will be torn directly. Using it as a bandage will undoubtedly greatly increase his debt.
"No, it's cheap. It's not even as good as gauze. It's a terrible choice." Ray whispered, his face pressed against Mikael's back, his voice muffled, slowly oozing from the bandage The coming blood made him distracted. "Let's go further so we won't be chased by boring people. I'll heal you soon."
"Well. The person representing the demon king Bryce is not dead, right? There is not even a corpse on the ground. I guess he and his soldiers are probably fine." Mikael speculated, "You shouldn't treat them Indiscriminate attacks can easily hurt innocent people."
"Yes, Agares is fine, this cunning man got him and his people under the swamp ahead of time." Ray was quite unhappy with this result, although he also knew that the Duke of the Swamp, Agares, had his own way The way to deal with danger, few people can really hurt him. "If he hadn't turned the surroundings into a swamp..."
"I just didn't expect Miss Octobe to use the air trap to deal with me. The responsibility for my injury does not lie with this Mr. Agares. I will sum up my experience and it won't happen next time " Mikael pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, "About Miss Octobe, she actually..."
"I'll make her pay sooner or later!" Lei snorted coldly, and he looked around, "It's almost here! I'll help you heal first."
He lifted Mikael, who looked weak, off the camel.
A thick woven blanket, some wooden poles, and a shade cloth.Mikael watched as Ray quickly built a shack.It seems that before he met Lei, Lei set up a resting place like this.Excessive blood loss made it difficult for Mikael to concentrate. He sat in the most comfortable position and watched Ray with a slightly confused expression as he fiddled with the knots to tie the sunshade more firmly.Ray is really a caring demon, he thought.
Soon, Lei returned to him, sat down on the floor, and threw something on the blanket.
A wet baby octopus with eight arms on a pink body.
"Do you really want to grill octopus?" Mikael asked in a daze.
The octopus on the blanket shuddered and covered its eyes with its sucker-laden wrists.
"Although grilling and eating is also a good choice, but I plan to ask him some questions first." Lei's face was gloomy, and he poked the octopus's head with a dead branch, "Feneus, you plan to pretend to be dead until when?"
"Huh? You know me?" The octopus named Funeus quickly put down his wrist.
Mikael couldn't make out the expression on an octopus' face, but he did make out something else.
"He is... Count Octobe?"
During the journey of the past few days, Count Octobe rarely showed up, and even if he did, he would cover his face with a veil, but Mikael remembered his voice, which was exactly the same as the octopus in front of him.
"Yes, yes, that is my alias, and my real name is Furneus. Now that you recognize me, you should know that I am a real Marquis. If you will send me back to the sea, I will I will give you unimaginably rich rewards!" the pink Furneus said excitedly.
"If you still can't tell who is in charge, I don't mind putting you on the stick right now." Lei said coldly.
Furneus went limp.
"Could it be that he is the strange beast just now?" Cain, who had turned into a boy, walked into the shack with a look of disbelief on his face.The appearance of Feneus is very similar to the octopus, but the huge difference in size between the two makes it impossible to connect them at once.
"Have you finished scouting?"
The low air pressure on Ray flattened Cain's feathers.
"Reconnaissance...reconnaissance is over, there is no one else around here."
"Is he really that strange beast?" Mikael asked in surprise.
"Well." Lei nodded, "Because that Miss Mob and her housekeeper escaped first, he could only use most of his body to withstand the lightning strike and protect the core. I picked up his core. It seems , they don't care about your life?" The last sentence was addressed to the octopus lying on the ground.
"More than that? I'm not with them at all! I was forced to work for them!" Furneus said angrily.
"Oh? Got caught in a beauty trick again?" Lei raised his eyebrows.
"It looks like we really know each other. Please forgive me for not recognizing you, your strength is so impressive, you must be a great duke!" Furneus said flatteringly.
Lei: "Talk about yourself, you have 3 minutes for me to decide whether to roast you directly."
"Ah! Please give me a little more time, I am really innocent! You guessed it right, I was indeed tricked by a beauty. About a year ago, I was wandering in the shallow sea. That night, I thought I was victimized Inspired by Eros
"Ah!" The officer opened his mouth wide and hurried forward to salute: "Yes, Your Excellency Duke! Resolutely obey your command!"
☆、A trap in mid-air
As expected, the rainy season in hell did not come earlier because of a heavy rain as Lei said.After walking for two days, the team escorting Count Octobe had to stop in a small town for necessary supplies.
The surviving carriages were basically empty. With a wave of his hand, the Earl bought all the food and water in the market.The mercenaries were given a half-day vacation, and even though Butler Cripps had repeatedly reiterated not to leave the hotel, Cain decided to take this opportunity to sneak out and contact the nobleman he knew.Ray also went out not long after, and he told Mikael that he was going to find materials for making supper in the nearby rock crevices.
The trainee angel stayed in the room alone to read the book, and when he read less than twenty pages, there was a knock on the door.
"Are you looking for me, Miss Octobe?" Mikael was surprised by the people outside the door. This was the first time he had close contact with the well-known Miss Octobe.
The earl's daughter wore an emerald-encrusted forehead, and her haggard face was reminiscent of her intermittent headaches.
"Yes, Mr. Mercenary. Would you like me to sit in for a while?" Miss Octobe smiled at Mikael.
Mikael frowned. When Miss Octobe looked at him, he felt like someone was spying on him, but the other party didn't seem to have any malicious intent, just out of curiosity.
"Come in." Mikael stepped aside to make way.
The inns in the town were in poor condition, with only crude furniture in the rooms.Miss Octobe pulled out a chair with two fingers and sat down.
"Where are the other two mercenaries? Why aren't they in the room?" She asked curiously.
"..." Mikael was wondering whether he should lie or not.
"Did you go to the toilet?" Miss Octobe asked jokingly.The bathrooms in the hotel are shared and not in the room.
"Yes." Mikael replied without hesitation.Now that there are even reasons, it is better to take the opportunity to complete this lie.
Miss Octob's expression froze for a second, and then she spread the fan in her hand and fanned it: "I'm here to ask you to confirm a question."
She took three scrolls out of a pouch and spread them out on the rough wooden table.
"Why do you three have the same demon mark?" She stared at Mikael with burning eyes.
Mikael turned cold: "As a trainee fallen angel, I don't need to apologize for lying."
"So the marks on it are not real?" Miss Octobe cleared her throat and continued, "I know that my father didn't ask for a contract when he hired you. Gem. But now he is proven wrong. We were ambushed in the valley the day before yesterday, someone must have leaked the news. I hope you will write me the real token and use your token to sign employment with me contract."
Mikael frowned: "Impossible." He didn't have a mark at all.
"Don't rush to make a decision, you can think about it first. My father is an honorable earl, but as you can see, his strength is not strong, basically he has just reached the level of a viscount, and trainee fallen angels have always At the peak of the civilian population. My father can only summon ordinary civilians at most. It is impossible for him to summon you with a token. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your friends to protect your token. You and the other two mercenary gentlemen have always been inseparable. Your relationship should be very good, right?" Miss Octobe persuaded in a gentle tone, as if she was sure that Mikael would make concessions.
"Impossible." Mikael still refused.
Miss Octobe showed embarrassment: "If you are not willing to cooperate, I can only regretfully end this cooperation. There is really no other way."
"I won't mark you," Mikael insisted.
"That's it..." Miss Octobe looked at Mikael carefully, as if watching some spectacle, then she covered her bloody mouth with a fan and smiled softly, "That's really a pity! But you can Ask your companions what they think first, should they come back from the toilet? At the latest tomorrow morning, if you don’t want to sign a contract with the token, then we can only end the cooperative relationship. I will leave first.”
"Goodbye." Mikael sent Miss Octob out of the door.
He felt that Miss Octobe seemed to be particularly concerned about marks, and even the form that was filled out in the first place seemed to be for the purpose of obtaining mercenary marks.This in the end is why?After tonight, how many mercenaries will obediently surrender their marks?Miss Octobe's dowry has a fatal attraction to demons, maybe many people will give her the mark willingly.Besides, not continuing to cooperate means not getting the remaining gems. It is estimated that no demon is willing to work for nothing.In the final analysis, if there is a difference in strength of more than two levels, there is no need to use low-level servants at all. Such a concept has been deeply ingrained in the devil's mind, and it is easy for people to let go of their guard.
But is it really that simple?
Mikael remembered what Cain said, all the recruited mercenaries mysteriously disappeared.Could this be caused by some kind of magic related to marking?Lei once said that he is special and can surpass the limitations of summoning.He didn't realize that he was special, but it was hard to guarantee that no one in the world really had this ability.
In any case, Miss Octobe's visit gave Mikael a sense of danger.He was a little anxious, and after walking back and forth in the room for a few steps, he realized that the reason for his anxiety was that Lei and Cain had not returned home.
They are all alone and defenseless!I hope nothing happens to them, let's go out and look for them!
Mikael made up his mind.He pushed open the creaking wooden window, spread his wings, and flew out like a kite.
"what!"
Mikael spat out a mouthful of blood.He felt that he had suddenly bumped into an invisible net, and his wings were instantly fixed in mid-air by thousands of invisible wires. The huge momentum not only injured his wings, but also injured his internal organs.
Whoosh!
An arrow flew straight at him, and he had no way to dodge it, but to watch as the arrow pierced his shoulder and came out the other end.The net in the air disappeared, and his body began to fall. He only had time to protect his head before he fell to the ground.
"Catch him, he's a traitor!" The voice of the old butler Cripps came from next to his ear.
The mercenaries rushed forward, they twisted Mikael's limbs, and some even took the opportunity to punch him a few times.Blood was dripping from the corner of the apprentice angel's mouth, his blond hair was covered with mud, and he was turned in front of the countess in a state of embarrassment.
Miss Octobe winked at Mikael, as if saying to him: "We met again so soon!"
"Master Octobe has long suspected that he and his accomplices are traitors, and today our people caught this beast that was about to deliver a letter from the cliff today." Butler Cripps pushed Cain come over.
Cain's old vest had been torn wide open, and his face was pitifully bruised and swollen.
"The other person ran away when he saw us, but I guess he can't do anything!" Butler Cripps stared at Mikael and Cain viciously.
The mercenaries were excited and said that the traitor should be executed, and that he must be tortured before execution.
"No, let's put them in the dungeon first! The sound of torture will give me a headache." Miss Octobe raised her hand and rubbed one temple. Against the backdrop of a box of fifth-order gems, her This action looks very charming.
Immediately there was applause for the count's daughter's benevolence, and Mikael and Cain were put in prison.
Like other places in hell, no matter how dilapidated the inn in a small town, it is necessary to build an underground cell with complete torture equipment.The sound of dripping water and the miserable green torch intensified the eerie atmosphere of the dungeon, and several demons pushed Mikael into the innermost cell alone.They found and fixed Mikael's wings with two iron clamps specially used to imprison fallen angels, and locked his hands with iron chains.
Not long after, Miss Octobe walked into the cell carefully avoiding the puddles of water on the ground.
"I thought you or the devil in clown boots belonged to Bryce, but I didn't expect him to use a stupid bird as a spy. It seems that the devil king is sometimes confused!" Miss Octobe Looking at Mikael triumphantly, behind her is the old butler Cripps.
Mikael was secretly surprised.He knew that Cain had contacted a nobleman, but he didn't expect that person to be the demon king Bryce.Cain doesn't look like a qualified spy at all, but maybe it's the unexpectedness that makes him more likely to succeed?
Mikael looked at Miss Octobe coldly: "Have you interrogated him?"
"He still needs to be interrogated?" Miss Octob spread out the fan in her hand and shook it. "Just give him two droppers of sweet ale, and he will explain everything clearly."
Mikael: "..."
"Since the stupid bird is a secret agent, there is no need to send someone to chase the escaped demon. I thought you have a good relationship, but now it seems that the friendship of the demon is really unreliable!" Miss Octobe felt a little regretful say.
"You used a no-air trap outside the window." Mikael judged, "The reason why you shot me down with an arrow is to cover up this. So in the valley before, it was your arrangement to get rid of those soldiers ?"
Miss Octobe opened her eyes slightly, with surprise on her face: "You are so smart! What else do you see?"
Mikael: "..."
"It would be great if you would give me your mark!" Miss Octobe said to herself, "I like you very much, fallen angels are much more interesting than demons. You can be my right and left hand, help me Realize my ambition."
Mikael frowned: "Do you care about the mark?"
"Yes. You must be very strange! It is only possible to summon the other party if the strength is two full ranks higher. Even a viscount, unless he reaches the peak of the viscount rank, he will not be able to command the trainee fallen angels who are at the peak among the common people. I Your 'father' doesn't have that kind of power, you think I can't use your mark at all, right?"
Miss Octobe looked at Mikael with a smile on her face, and the satisfaction on her face was beyond words.
"But I don't need to be bound by the law of summoning at all. I am special, as long as I get the mark, I can summon even a king!" She announced loudly.
Mikael's eyes widened suddenly!
☆, long overdue
"How about it, are you interested in serving me now?" Miss Octobe held Mikael's chin with a fan, "I admire you very much, you are the most interesting fallen angel I have ever seen, and you are even a little different. It looks like a fallen angel. Give me your mark, and I will show you unimaginable splendor!"
"...a lot?" Mikael whispered, more like a murmur.
Miss Octobe didn't understand: "There are so many?"
"Excuse me, are there many special people like you? You can't be bound by the law of summoning." Mikael felt that the arrow wound on his shoulder exceeded his tolerance limit, he twitched his eyebrows, and his lips trembled a little.
"How is it possible?" Miss Octobe looked surprised, "This is the ability brought by the great bloodline, I am the only one left in the world. My power is limitless, as long as you give me the mark, one day I will let you see that the whole hell surrenders at my feet! Even the only king of the legendary hell..."
"impossible."
"What's impossible?"
"It's impossible for me to give you the mark." Mikael looked determined, and in his opinion, this matter was simply beyond his ability.
Mikael's answer made Miss Octob a little angry, but she calmed down quickly.
"Impossible? What if I wrung your wings off bit by bit with a noose? Break your fingers one by one, and cut your chest open with a sharp knife so that you can see the beating of your heart clearly. By that time, Is your answer still impossible?" The cold fan tip slashed across Mikael's body, like a poisonous snake using a letter to determine the location of its prey.
"Impossible." Mikael was unmoved, because he had no marks at all.
Mademoiselle Octobe was astonished, and then she threw back her head and began to laugh, as cheerfully as if Mikael's answer was yes rather than no.
"Hahahaha... Oh, sorry... I can't believe it, haha... There is a fallen angel like you in hell! Isn't that the virtue of angels? Hahaha... It's so interesting!"
Mikael: "..."
In some respects, Miss Octobe had the truth.
"Okay, okay, I don't want your mark anymore. One more subordinate and one less subordinate don't make much difference to me. I want to be friends with you. What do you want? Power? Wealth? Beauty? Whatever you want I can achieve whatever I want for you. On the contrary, you also have to help me achieve my ambitions. Isn’t it good that friends help each other?” Miss Octobe said with a smile.
"I want..." Mikael frowned, and Miss Octobe looked at him expectantly.
Mikael cleared his throat: "I want supper."
Miss Octobe was stunned: "Snack? No problem, I'll go and get it for you..."
Before Miss Octobe could report the type of supper, the ground trembled violently, and Mikael, who was fixed on the iron clip, shook a few times.
"Earthquake?" Miss Octobe looked suspicious.
As soon as the voice hit the ground, it vibrated again.The second shock was much more violent than the previous one. The instruments of torture on the wall were rattled, and some of them fell directly to the ground. It fell through the gap, making the torch flickering.
Miss Octobe staggered and reached out to grab the nock on Mikael's shoulder.
"hiss--"
"Feel sorry."
"Your Highness!" Butler Cripps hurried into the cell to support his master, "Let's go! This is probably not an ordinary earthquake!"
"What do you mean? It's not an ordinary earthquake? Then bring him too... oops!"
Another violent shock threw Miss Octobe up and fell to the ground.Mikael felt that the entire dungeon was about to be shaken upside down, and the pegs fixing the iron frame shifted to both sides, tearing his wings sorely.His feet couldn't touch the ground, and he was almost torn to pieces as a result of experiencing a strong earthquake in the air.
"It's too late to take him, let's go, Your Highness!"
Butler Cripps hurriedly helped Miss Octobe up, and carried her towards the entrance of the dungeon.
After a while, the ground began to crack and tilt.The torch outside the cell was shaken to the ground, flashed twice and went out.Mikael could no longer see the situation of the entrance clearly.He sighed, knowing that the supper he was waiting for probably wouldn't come.Ray couldn't make it in time, and now he's on his own.
"For glory and justice!" The apprentice angel muttered in his heart.
The earthquake became more and more intense, and the cell was completely distorted. Countless large and small stones fell from the ceiling, jumping and rolling on the ground like soybeans in a sieve.Mikael took a deep breath, and suddenly let his body fall down!
"what!!!"
He opened his mouth wide, his eyebrows twitched in pain, and his wings were still fixed on the iron clamp, but the pair of wings had left his body and would soon become two skeletons due to the loss of magic power.
Only by giving up your wings will you have a chance to escape!
Cold sweat soaked Mikael's body all of a sudden.He gasped and tried to forget the wound on his back, he could feel his own blood winding down his back, tearing off a part of his body was an unimaginable pain.
Gradually exerting force with both hands, Mikael pulled his body upwards vigorously, and then let go all of a sudden, using the momentum to break free from the iron chain in his hands.
Finally, on the fourth fall, one of his hands let go, and the other end of the chain fell from the wall.With his free hand he tore the chain off the other hand.
The feet finally hit the ground.
Mikael struggled to keep his footing, the loss of his wings affecting his sense of balance.The torches in the dungeon had been completely extinguished, and the ground became so soft after the earthquake that both of his feet sank.Before he had time to deal with the arrow on his shoulder, he stumbled towards the gate of the dungeon in his memory.
On the way Mikael heard a familiar voice.He groped to find the thrush chained to a bird stand.Cain was clearly still awake, belching and muttering "His Royal Highness Brace".
Mikael undid the chains from Cain's feet.He walked near the entrance and found that the entrance was completely blocked by rocks.The ground under his feet was incredibly soft, and he even felt a force pulling him down.It's not like being trapped in a dungeon, it's more like falling into a swamp.
Fortunately, the magic power in the body was not lost much.
Mikael chanted the spell, and a white hammer gradually took shape in his hand.The Hammer of Light is a very expensive magic, but it is very suitable for breaking through heavy obstacles.
Every swing will blow away the blocked stones a little, but at the same time Mikael's body will sink a little.In just a moment, the mud covered his thighs.Like a dangerous war, a quick move can be the difference between life and death.
The wound on his shoulder was tearing and bleeding, but the apprentice angel's movement of swinging the Hammer of Light did not stop at all.Even with all his strength, the brightness of Hammer of Light is still weakening a little bit.Mikael has experienced despair, and Cain is dreaming and dying in his pocket, knowing nothing about it.
Finally, when the Hammer of Light dissipated, he saw the light!
must go out!leave here!
The strong willpower made Mikael burst out with amazing strength again. He grabbed the stones outside and pulled his body out of the quagmire little by little!His fingers were covered in blood and mud, shaped like ghost claws.
"Hi! What's going on? Ah! Mikael, what's the matter with you?" Cain flapped his wings and flew into the sky, circling above Mikael, "What the hell is going on?!"
The town where the mercenaries stopped for supplies has turned into a swamp, and all living or dead things are being swallowed by the swamp little by little!
The demons wanted to escape, but they couldn't escape as fast as they could sink.Some demons stood terrified on the ruins of buildings, while others spread their fleshy wings and took to the sky.But soon a giant eagle flew over from the sky. Its spread wings were 30 meters long, and it easily slapped the demon flying to the sky back to the ground.
Cain was completely stunned.Mikael is lying face down on the wreckage of the hotel, but the whole hotel is sinking!
"Wood..." Mikael barely turned over.
"What?" Cain turned into a boy and flew to his side.
"Wood doesn't sink that fast, get some planks."
"Ah! Good!"
In his haste, Cain found a door and partitions on some chests.Mikael used the remaining magic power to connect the planks together, and then flipped over.
"Lie down beside me, don't move around," he told Cain.There were only a few demons left in the sky, and Cain could easily attract the giant eagle's attention if he flew again.
The inn quickly disappeared beneath them, but the broad planks persisted on the surface of the swamp.
Mikael heaved a sigh of relief, he knew that the danger was far from over, but this was already the limit of what he could do.
"Your back is bleeding..." Cain looked at Mikael worriedly, he couldn't imagine the pain of losing two wings, "Do you want me to help you stop the bleeding?"
"Don't use it now, if you move around, the plank will lose its balance." Mikael understood that lying on the plank like this is not a long-term solution. The town suddenly turned into a swamp, which is more like the power of magic than nature. He must regain his strength as soon as possible.
Not far away, a terrible roar suddenly erupted.Cain's eyes widened, and he could almost stuff an apple into his mouth.
"God! What is that? What a big beast!"
About 30 meters away from them, a strange beast appeared out of thin air.His appearance is like a gigantic octopus, and his eyes alone are as tall as a person!His wrists are strong and covered with crimson suckers.Relying on the strength of his eight wrists slapping the mud, he can actually swim in the swamp!The giant eagle in the sky tried to intercept the alien beast, but was quickly blown away.
Mikael saw Miss Octob and Butler Phillips on top of the octopus, and it seemed that this strange beast was the one that falsely attacked them in the valley.
Just as the beast was about to swim out of the swamp, a blond man in a black robe stood in front of the beast, followed by many soldiers.
"Poor people who despise my king, do you still want to get out alive?" the blond man said with a smile.
"Are you hindering me? The lackey of the demon king Bryce, why don't you let these demons go?" Miss Octob asked loudly standing on the head of the strange beast.
"Since they have been blinded by greed, I don't mind letting them go under the swamp to appreciate the eternal darkness." The blond man raised his hand, and the giant eagle in the sky became a normal size and landed on his arm .
"Damn it! Let's rush out!" Miss Octob stomped on the head of the beast.
Mikael only had time to see the beast roaring and waving its wrists before his eyes were attracted by other things.
"thunder?"
Ray walked towards the plank where Mikael was lying, his clown boots didn't get a speck of mud, it was as if the ground was solid.
"Damn it..." The Hell Traveler paused, looking down at his extremely embarrassed companion. "Where are your wings?" He carefully lifted Mikael up, half-embracing him in his arms.The change in pressure didn't cause the plank to tip over, it was as smooth as if it were glued to the surface of a swamp.
"It's sinking." Mikael glanced at his feet regretfully.
"Wonderful, this is really wonderful..."
Even Mikael felt the gloomy aura on Lei, as if he was brewing a storm.Mikael frowned, planning to tell his friend about Miss Octobe's special features.
"Miss Octobe, she is..."
"Go to hell!"
An unprecedented thick lightning fell from the sky, directly engulfing the entire octopus and everyone around it!
"Wait……"
☆, grilled octopus
Mikael never expected to witness such a spectacle!
The dazzling lightning twisted and stretched in mid-air, like the silent roar of the legendary ferocious Hydra.Its power is so terrifying, it seems that even the world can be split in two by it.Soon, the splashing arc blasted the ground full of holes.However, this is not the end.The power of thunder and lightning gradually accumulated to the limit, and there was nothing to carry it anymore.In the end, the huge electric snake shrank and exploded violently, leaving a huge crater on the ground, even wider than the entire town!
Cain's mouth grew wide, and he didn't know what to say at all.He only recognized the left and right hands of the Demon King just a second ago, but now the most powerful duke in the legend has been smashed to death by lightning!And that octopus-shaped beast, there is not even a scum left!
"Wait a minute!" Mikael came to his senses for the first time, "Miss Octobe, is she... dead?"
"Tsk tsk, she ran away!" Lei fiercely stared at the huge hole in front of him, and retracted the black nails that had just protruded from his fingers unwillingly. "But I roughly know who is protecting her." He said through gritted teeth.
"Then...that Lord Agares...?" Cain asked in a low voice.
Ray gave Cain a supercilious look, who immediately came to his senses, lay down livid and pretended to be a dead bird.
The terrible guy who can kill the Duke with one blow, don't pay attention to me, don't pay attention to me...
Cain repeated it silently in his heart.
"As long as she doesn't die, she may be the person you are looking for. By the way, is this ability to manipulate lightning inborn?" Mikael was very curious. If this is lightning magic, he would be very surprised. Want to learn, "Can you let me go? I can stand still, it just takes a little time. The ground seems not as soft as before."
"What you need is not time, but treatment! Don't you trust me and don't want to hand over your back to me?" Lei asked.
"I believe in you." Although his face was pale and his body was drenched in mud and cold sweat, Mikael's voice was calm.Ray's words were not very precise, but he had no intention of arguing.Ray is a trustworthy partner, and of course he is willing to hand over his back injury to Lei.
"Then listen to me!"
Ray took out his camel from the space prop, carried Mikael up, and began to treat Mikael's wounds on the back of the camel that was advancing steadily.After the baptism of thunder and lightning, the originally soft surface turned into a ceramic-like texture, and it was not difficult for the camel to walk.
"Still not keeping up?" After walking a short distance, Lei suddenly turned his head and said to Cain who was still lying on the plank and pretending to be dead, "Shall I give you some encouragement?"
"no need!"
Cain put aside his ambivalence, and quickly turned into a thrush and flew over the camel.
"I'll go ahead to find the way!" He flapped his wings vigorously, determined to turn himself into an inconspicuous dot in the sky.He never thought that finding the way was such a good job!
After tearing off the clothes on Mikael's back, Lei couldn't help but gasped.Since the wings were severed, the ends of the wing bones remained on the back, turning into two white bones poking out of the body.The two long blood holes were covered with mud and many finely broken stones. Ray used his nails to dig out some, and he saw that Mikael's body was shaking.
"Hold on, I'm going to wash it for you."
Lei opened the water bag, poured clean water on Mikael's back, and then wiped the wound with a handkerchief little by little.
"Did you find the supper? I heard that Miss Octobe sent someone to catch you, but they failed to catch up." While Ray was treating the wound, Mikael held the rein tightly, and he wanted to say something to make himself distracted.
"No, I didn't find it." Lei felt aggrieved. If he hadn't had to meet someone and warn him not to get Mikael's idea, he wouldn't have left at this time.He hadn't expected that so many accidents would happen in just such a short period of time.If it weren't for the old love, Agares should have been hacked to death a hundred times!
"But I brought you grilled octopus, you'll be fine after eating it." Lei said guiltily.
"Ah! Is it that kind of delicious food?" Mikael was a little happy, but when he saw Lei directly tearing open a silk shirt to bandage his wound, he became depressed again. "This dress looks very valuable?" Although he once stained a recently worn dress because of selling fried small balls, but that one can still be worn after washing, so the shirt will be torn directly. Using it as a bandage will undoubtedly greatly increase his debt.
"No, it's cheap. It's not even as good as gauze. It's a terrible choice." Ray whispered, his face pressed against Mikael's back, his voice muffled, slowly oozing from the bandage The coming blood made him distracted. "Let's go further so we won't be chased by boring people. I'll heal you soon."
"Well. The person representing the demon king Bryce is not dead, right? There is not even a corpse on the ground. I guess he and his soldiers are probably fine." Mikael speculated, "You shouldn't treat them Indiscriminate attacks can easily hurt innocent people."
"Yes, Agares is fine, this cunning man got him and his people under the swamp ahead of time." Ray was quite unhappy with this result, although he also knew that the Duke of the Swamp, Agares, had his own way The way to deal with danger, few people can really hurt him. "If he hadn't turned the surroundings into a swamp..."
"I just didn't expect Miss Octobe to use the air trap to deal with me. The responsibility for my injury does not lie with this Mr. Agares. I will sum up my experience and it won't happen next time " Mikael pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, "About Miss Octobe, she actually..."
"I'll make her pay sooner or later!" Lei snorted coldly, and he looked around, "It's almost here! I'll help you heal first."
He lifted Mikael, who looked weak, off the camel.
A thick woven blanket, some wooden poles, and a shade cloth.Mikael watched as Ray quickly built a shack.It seems that before he met Lei, Lei set up a resting place like this.Excessive blood loss made it difficult for Mikael to concentrate. He sat in the most comfortable position and watched Ray with a slightly confused expression as he fiddled with the knots to tie the sunshade more firmly.Ray is really a caring demon, he thought.
Soon, Lei returned to him, sat down on the floor, and threw something on the blanket.
A wet baby octopus with eight arms on a pink body.
"Do you really want to grill octopus?" Mikael asked in a daze.
The octopus on the blanket shuddered and covered its eyes with its sucker-laden wrists.
"Although grilling and eating is also a good choice, but I plan to ask him some questions first." Lei's face was gloomy, and he poked the octopus's head with a dead branch, "Feneus, you plan to pretend to be dead until when?"
"Huh? You know me?" The octopus named Funeus quickly put down his wrist.
Mikael couldn't make out the expression on an octopus' face, but he did make out something else.
"He is... Count Octobe?"
During the journey of the past few days, Count Octobe rarely showed up, and even if he did, he would cover his face with a veil, but Mikael remembered his voice, which was exactly the same as the octopus in front of him.
"Yes, yes, that is my alias, and my real name is Furneus. Now that you recognize me, you should know that I am a real Marquis. If you will send me back to the sea, I will I will give you unimaginably rich rewards!" the pink Furneus said excitedly.
"If you still can't tell who is in charge, I don't mind putting you on the stick right now." Lei said coldly.
Furneus went limp.
"Could it be that he is the strange beast just now?" Cain, who had turned into a boy, walked into the shack with a look of disbelief on his face.The appearance of Feneus is very similar to the octopus, but the huge difference in size between the two makes it impossible to connect them at once.
"Have you finished scouting?"
The low air pressure on Ray flattened Cain's feathers.
"Reconnaissance...reconnaissance is over, there is no one else around here."
"Is he really that strange beast?" Mikael asked in surprise.
"Well." Lei nodded, "Because that Miss Mob and her housekeeper escaped first, he could only use most of his body to withstand the lightning strike and protect the core. I picked up his core. It seems , they don't care about your life?" The last sentence was addressed to the octopus lying on the ground.
"More than that? I'm not with them at all! I was forced to work for them!" Furneus said angrily.
"Oh? Got caught in a beauty trick again?" Lei raised his eyebrows.
"It looks like we really know each other. Please forgive me for not recognizing you, your strength is so impressive, you must be a great duke!" Furneus said flatteringly.
Lei: "Talk about yourself, you have 3 minutes for me to decide whether to roast you directly."
"Ah! Please give me a little more time, I am really innocent! You guessed it right, I was indeed tricked by a beauty. About a year ago, I was wandering in the shallow sea. That night, I thought I was victimized Inspired by Eros
