Chapter 525 The legendary man
The thing that Kambien regretted most in his life was accepting the summons.
Originally, he was a Cambion who lived in the bloody wilderness. Although his life was not easy, he was free at least. Unfortunately, the blood of ambition always flowed in the devil's body, and Cambion often wanted to climb up.
Imagine that one day, I can wear a red robe, stand on the top of the Blood River Fortress, and overlook the bloody battlefield thousands of miles away.
I also thought that one day I would be able to enter Grand Duke Zariel's official residence, become a member of her elite regiment, and be equipped with the best hell engine. Even other demon lords would have to salute respectfully when they saw me.
I really want to be that majestic.
Therefore, when he sensed the call of Grand Duke Zariel, Kambien immediately responded to the call.
Although he knew in his heart that the real Grand Duke Zariel would never summon a large number of Cambions like him, he guessed that the legions under Zariel needed some cannon fodder.
Cannon fodder is fine, Kambien just needs a chance! But when he was summoned, he found out that it was an undead from the main material plane, which was far from what he thought.
Originally I was thinking of fooling around a bit to see if I could cheat anyone's soul, but I found out that a ruthless person had come.
This undead girl is very powerful, but her mother is even more terrifying. If she were placed in hell, she would definitely be able to become a well-known lord of hell.
There was no way to run away, and his life was in danger at any time. Kambien felt that his luck was really bad, just like the day he was abandoned after he was born.
Kambian confirmed that Melina was serious, so he had no choice but to go ahead.
However, Kambian was, after all, a "smart man" who knew how to drag his fellow tribesmen into the water. He directly selected a few Cambions to accompany him, the same Cambions whose noses he had broken.
Anyway, I have already tricked them once, so I might as well do it again. I can just let them die first instead of worrying about their revenge.
Melina now only remembered Cambien as the only Cambion, so naturally she would not object to his opinion. She directly gave him the authority to command other Cambions with the magic sword in her hand.
In this way, Kambien became a small boss.
The class leap came quickly, but Kambien was not happy at all. He could only try to calm down and asked Melina, "Master, no matter which lord controls this fortress, they will definitely ask two things. One is your real purpose of going to the Blood River, and the other is how much toll you can pay. And I need you to give me information so that I can try to communicate with the other party."
"Can't you just say we're going to the war?" Melina asked.
Kambien said helplessly: "Master, this is hell. This excuse can't fool even me."
Who would run to the Blood River battlefield if they were not desperate? It's not like I was born a war maniac.
Moreover, the Blood River Battlefield was right there, and it would not disappear for tens of thousands of years, so why did they have to shorten the time through the teleportation array? If this question was not made clear, the Devil Lord would simply kill them as invaders.
"Wait a moment."
Melina ran to the side, took out the magic mirror and began to consult her mother.
Kambien was quite envious. How great would it be if his own mother could protect him in the same way?
But it's almost impossible in hell.
It is very common for devils to abandon their children, and being abandoned is considered good luck. Most half-blood devils are treated as slaves and controlled by their parents. They are eaten as supplements or thrown away as sacrifices at critical moments.
This is hell, there is no family affection.
Reproduction is merely the product of the continuation of desire and has no other meaning.
Melina relayed Kambien's words to the Dead Rose, and the Queen of the Dead couldn't help but frown. Dead Rose herself was not good at these conspiracies and rarely dealt with demons, so she couldn't think of a suitable excuse for a while.
Finally, Withered Rose could only say to Melina: "Use Zariel as an excuse. You have the artifact she gave you, so just call yourself a messenger. Let these Cambions go into the city to deliver this message. If they are unwilling to use the teleportation array, you can take a detour. Although it will take a while, your father is very important to Zariel. He may suffer, but he will be fine."
Melina nodded, then turned to Cambian and said, "Just say I want to send a letter to Grand Duke Zariel. Show him this. He should be able to sense Zariel's presence."
Melina was talking about Cambion, whose body was pierced by a flaming sword. Although he had turned into a zombie, sparks continued to come out of the wound. These were the remaining traces after the burning of the hellfire, and naturally the power of Zariel was also contained in it.
Although Kambien felt that this reason was hard for the other party to accept, it was not nothing after all, so he asked again: "Master, there is another question, what can we pay as toll?"
Melina thought for a moment, then said, "One hundred thousand soul coins, this is my bottom price."
"Soul coins, these are good things, but ten are too few... Wait!" Kambien was stunned for a moment, then said in shock: "How much did you say?!"
"One hundred thousand," Melina repeated, then asked, "Not enough?"
Kambien swallowed his saliva and said, "My master, don't tell other devils that you have 100,000 soul coins, otherwise we will be dead! Do you know how much 100,000 soul coins are? You can buy the fortress in front of you directly! If other devils know about it, they will rush over like crazy to kill us!"
Not to mention others, Kambian now wants to kill Melina and snatch those soul coins, but he knows he can't win.
It was really crazy. Kambian knew that Melina was a second-generation, but he never expected that this princess could easily take out 100,000 soul coins. What kind of super-rich person is this? Where did so many soul coins come from in the main material plane? Melina said nonchalantly: "Stop talking nonsense and get to work!"
Kambien bowed respectfully, this time with some sincerity. The devil is not afraid of being a slave, nor is he afraid of a cruel master. What he fears most is that his master is cruel and useless, and then he will end up as cannon fodder.
But the financial resources displayed by Melina proved one thing, that Melina is not only powerful in herself, but also has a very terrifying background.
Following a master like this, maybe it would be possible to climb to the heights of this hell.
Kambian decided to change his plan temporarily. He didn't want to escape anymore. He thought about how to build a good relationship with this person. If everything went well, Melina would eventually leave Hell. If the relationship was good, the next time she summoned him, maybe she could let him go to the main material plane for a stroll. I heard that there were souls everywhere that could be plundered at will, so he didn't have to worry about others snatching them from him.
Whether it was for self-consolation or to work hard, Kambion received five soul coins as funds with great energy, and then flew towards the fortress with those cannon fodders.
The distance was not far, but it still took Kambian more than ten minutes to reach the gate of the fortress.
Just as he expected, this fortress was not big, and one hundred thousand soul coins were enough to make the other party kneel down and sign a contract with him.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But there was no way that Kambien would really offer this bottom price, because there was a greater possibility that the demons in the fortress would come out in full force to devour them all.
Negotiation requires skills. When Kambian approached the fortress gate, he shouted loudly, demanding to meet the owner of the fortress, and generously threw out a soul coin.
The little coward who was in charge of patrolling on the top of the city wall screamed as soon as he took it.
Soul coins are not something that these low-level little devils can touch. The souls that can be made into coins are either very powerful souls or the compression of a dozen ordinary souls.
It can be said that the price of a soul coin is more precious than the lives of these little cowards.
A distinguished guest has arrived, or at least a very distinguished guest.
The little cowards did not dare to swallow the soul coin privately, but hurriedly delivered the soul coin to the owner of the fortress.
She had a slender body, but her attractive parts were unusually plump, and her charming face was covered with purple-red magic patterns. Apart from that, the only devil feature on her was her tail, and she didn't even have the horns and wings that were common on devils.
This is a lust demon.
People who know the matter can tell at a glance that the bloodline of this succubus is not pure. What is mixed is not human blood, but the very rare elven blood. Traces of the elves can be seen from details such as pupils and ears.
Seeing the little cowards suddenly handing over a soul coin, the lust demon lord stretched out his forked tail and hooked the soul coin into his hand.
Listening to the shrill cries of the little cowards, the devil lord looked at the soul coin in his hand in confusion.
"You want to send a letter to Grand Duke Zariel, but you have to borrow a road from such a remote place? You must have sneaked in from another plane, but it's rare to be able to sneak in with soul coins."
The succubus lord was playing with the soul coins in her hand, thinking about how to kill them all and swallow all the soul coins. Suddenly, she put the soul coins in her hand in front of her eyes.
"Wait, this Soul Coin... this is not an ordinary Soul Coin, this is the highest level Soul Coin!"
Souls also have different qualities. Soul coins made by forging several souls together are the lowest-end stuff, and the effect of mixed souls burning is much worse.
The real high-end goods are strong souls. A coin is made of only one complete soul. This quality is very high and it is real hard currency.
The higher-level soul coin is the one in front of you. Not only is the soul strong enough, but it also carries an indomitable will. If it falls into the hands of those powerful devil lords, they might be able to directly create a powerful artificial devil to serve them.
But this kind of high-end goods is extremely precious.
Is the person who can take out this kind of soul coin really a stowaway from another dimension?
The demon lord couldn't help but think of a name, a name that has been well-known in hell recently.
That man was able to get away with playing with the two Grand Dukes Zariel and Tiamat. He was simply the devil among devils and the idol that he admired the most.
Could it be that the stowaways outside the fortress have some connection with this legendary figure? (End of this chapter)
