Chapter 315 Selling out a Kingdom
When Zariel looked back, both Amber and Mr. Fortune felt a chill.
Being targeted by a lord of hell is not a good thing.
At this time, the advantage of the lich was evident. Amber was calmer than Mr. Doom and responded immediately.
"Lila, help! Zariel is alive!"
Without a doubt, this is the most effective way to deal with it.
And the Lady of the Mist did not disappoint Amber. Zariel, who had just been staring at the two of them, suddenly became blurred and turned into a rough human figure like one made of plaster.
The Lady of the Mist appeared in front of the two and said to Amber, "It was too dangerous. It almost brought Zariel into this dream."
As soon as Mr. Doom saw Ms. Mist, he knew that he was in front of a real god.
Did this bastard lich just call the name of the god? Isn't he afraid of being punished for blaspheming the gods? Mr. Doom hasn't figured out how to pay respect to the goddess yet. Amber was the first to speak: "Zariel's image is too real, as if someone has painstakingly carved a perfect statue of the god, which makes Zariel feel something."
The descent of gods has to follow rules. For example, when the Spider Queen Rose wanted to descend, she had to choose her own statue instead of appearing anywhere.
Devout believers, statues, artifacts, and special summoning rituals can all make the gods come.
The Zariel that appeared in the dream just now was exactly the same as the real God. There was no more lifelike "statue of God" than this, so Zariel, who was in hell, also felt it and could come down through this phantom.
Amber Xiu had heard of an even more outrageous story. A madman was so bold that he wrote a wild history of the gods. It was so vivid that it spread so widely that the gods came directly to his book. The author stopped writing. No one knew whether he was taken to the kingdom of God or sent to hell.
Mr. Misfortune glanced at Amber. Is this kid blaming the gods?
Leila said a little embarrassedly: "I have been sleeping for too long and have forgotten many things. But it's okay, this is a dream after all. Even if Zariel locks on this place, we can just change to another dream. Hurry up, there will be problems if we delay too long."
Having said this, Leila disappeared, and the dream began to move again.
But Mr. Misfortune was not interested in reading his old lover's dream. Instead, he asked Amber Xiu in surprise, "That one just now, was it a god?"
"yes."
"Then how dare you be so rude?"
Mr. Doom feels that the world has changed. Mortals should respect even the weakest gods, unless there is a conflict in your beliefs. For example, believers of the Lord of Dawn can shout "Holy Light" and rush over when they see gods from the evil camp, but in general they must maintain necessary respect.
Blasphemy is a great sin, a greater crime than treason.
"I've already told you, I know a lot of gods, and I know how to deal with them better than you do. You're already hundreds of years old, don't make a fuss, just read the story carefully, the key information is coming soon."
The virtual Zariel continued to play his role, grabbed Domino Lawley's neck, and threatened: "Traitor, I can give you a chance to forgive your sins. Find other traitors and hand them over to me, and I will consider reducing your punishment."
Domino Lawley agreed without hesitation: "I do. I do anything."
It was obvious that Domino Lawley no longer wanted to endure the torture of hellfire, and betraying others didn't matter to him.
"Very good, as a little bug, you are quite smart, so there is a point for you to survive. Go and find those traitors, and I will temporarily stop punishing you. Remember, my mercy is limited, so do what you should do!"
Zariel dissipated in flames, leaving Domino Lawley gasping for air.
After a while, the dream environment changed from a fiery red boudoir to a dark basement.
Domino Lawley put on heavy armor and whipped a bloody tiefling with a whip.
Domino Lawley angrily demanded, "Give them out, and you'll suffer less!"
The dying tiefling said weakly: "Domino... do you think... you can escape... Zariel will not... let any of us go..."
Domino Lawley's face was distorted, and the long whip in his hand was burning with flames, and he lashed at the tiefling fiercely.
The tiefling wailed in the flames of hell until he was completely reduced to ash.
Domino Lawley was silent for a long time facing the ashes, and finally whispered: "Go to hell, this is what we deserve!"
Mr. Doom looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but say: "She was also forced. She didn't want to do this."
Amber looked at him expressionlessly. This old guy was quite affectionate.
But the dream soon changed again. This time, Domino Lawley knelt in front of Zariel again, and the hellfire burned her skin black.
Domino Lawley seemed to have no strength to move, and could only say with difficulty: "Please give me another chance, please... I will send them to hell... please..."
But Zariel was not a forgiving god. He kicked her more than ten meters away and taunted her, "What else can you do? All the betrayers know that you are betraying them. They will no longer believe you."
Domino Lawley used his last strength to say: "I can... sacrifice the entire kingdom... to you..."
Seeing this, Mr. Fortune couldn't help but widen his eyes. He originally thought that Domino Lawley was forced by Zariel to cooperate with Hell, but he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to exchange the entire kingdom.
Zariel continued to say to Domino Lawley with disdain: "You are not qualified. This kingdom does not belong to you."
"I can... I can make them all sign the contract... I can..."
Mr. Fortune clenched his fists, wishing he could kill Domino Lawley right now, but he knew there was no point in doing so, so he could only endure and continue watching.
They were already very close to the secret.
Zariel listened and made an interested sound: "Oh, you can really do that?"
"I can……"
Domino Lawley's voice had fallen so low that it was almost inaudible.
"Okay, then I'll give you one last chance." A flash of fire appeared on Zariel's hand, and a magic contract appeared.
Mr. Doom tried very hard to get closer to see the words clearly, but found that the contents were blurry.
"How could this be? This is the most crucial thing!" said Mr. Fortune excitedly.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Amber Xiu also leaned over to take a look, and then said, "I'm afraid that Domino Lawley herself didn't know the contents of the contract. She was almost dead at the time, and she signed the contract without even reading it carefully. The dream is a reproduction of her memory, and since she doesn't remember it, it's naturally blurry."
Mr. Luck retorted, "But she said she would let other people sign the contract as well. If she doesn't know now, she should know later, right?"
Amber shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. If Zariel set a shielding magic on the contract, then only the person who signed it can see the content. Moreover... these contents are probably written in the devil's language. I don't think there are many members of the Injustice Council who can understand it."
The devil's language and writing carry powerful magic, and it is this magic that makes the contract so binding. If a mortal wants to learn this language, it is easy for the power of hell to pollute his soul, and then he will fall into hell without the devil's help.
Amber is a lich and belongs to the evil camp. He has a strong resistance to these hellish forces, so he studies them.
"If they can't understand it, why would others sign it?" asked Mr. Doom with a frown.
Amber laughed and said, "That's too easy. They were drunk, unconscious, bewitched, or caught... You have to know that this was hundreds of years ago. Domino Lawley had enough time to set up various traps. They are just twelve tieflings. It's not difficult to trick them if he wants to."
Mr. Fortune gritted his teeth and said, "Then we are left with no other options. All our efforts have been in vain!"
The future of the Unholy Song could not be predicted, and fate did not allow them to peek into this secret. Now even Domino Lawley did not know the content of the contract, so who else could they find the answer from? They could not go to hell to ask Zariel.
Amber Xiu said, "Don't worry, there is still hope. I have done some research on devil contracts, and I can roughly guess what these patterns are."
Mr. Fortune said in surprise, "You also understand the devil's words?"
"There's nothing I can do. I don't have any aristocratic background. If I want to get by, I can only read more books. Isn't it the same for you?" Amber Xiu asked.
Mr. Luck said helplessly, "I have read a lot of books, but I can't compare with you."
Tieflings have devil blood in their bodies. Once they come into contact with the power of hell, they will be more likely to fall than other races. Therefore, he dare not study the devil's writings, for fear of being accidentally fallen.
Amber looked up and said to the person outside the dream: "Okay, that's about it. What follows will probably be all kinds of traps and threats to force the other unclean ones to sign the contract. The dream can end now. Don't let Zariel really find us."
The dream was quickly shattered, Domino Lawley disappeared, and Lady of the Mist Leila reappeared in front of the two.
Leila said to Amber, "Zariel is not easy to deal with. Don't be impulsive. If you get into trouble, come back to me. I can protect you now."
Amber Xiu said gratefully: "Thank you, but it's not a big problem. It's just a hell lord. If he wants to cause trouble to me, he has to wait in line."
Leila smiled and said, "I have never met a mortal like you. Take care of yourself. I will be here for you anytime."
Leila turned into starlight and disappeared, and Amber and Mr. Fortune also woke up from their dreams.
Mr. Doom opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Should he ask how to solve the problem of the Unholy Hymn, or ask what his relationship with the goddess was? Or, should he ask what Amber meant by what he meant by the Lord of Hell had to wait in line to cause trouble for him?
After not seeing each other for hundreds of years, what on earth did this bastard experience? However, An Boxiu did not think too much and directly said to Mr. Misfortune: "Brother, help me complete a divination."
Mr. Doom said strangely: "Didn't you hear me? It is impossible to predict the future of this kingdom. Even all the relevant details are hazy. Forcing the result of divination will only make us abandoned by fate."
"That's because I'm not here. Brother, what is there in this world that is worthy of two legendary prophecy wizards to divine together? With the combined power of you and me, even the gods will be trapped in the web of fate we have intertwined."
Amber summoned his golden throne, and countless dice of fate appeared in front of him. He said to Mr. Fortune: "Didn't you say that I am the favorite of the goddess of fate? I believe the goddess will give me this face."
"Well, let me, this old bone, go crazy with you again."
Mr. Fortune chuckled, and countless threads of fate appeared in front of him.
Dots and lines intertwined in the air, and strange pictures began to appear in front of the two people.
