Chapter 558 Is it so exciting?
Melina's territory gradually became lively.
It's not just because this place has the richest soul fragment resources within a radius of thousands of kilometers, but more importantly, the lord here doesn't seem to be a traditional devil.
She is a nice person.
This is what most demons say about Melina.
Although the "tax" of the territory is not cheap, the rules of this territory are very transparent, and there is no situation of "talk to me about the rules and I will write one for you now" for the time being.
This sounds outrageous, but isn't this what normal people should do? But think about it, this is hell.
There may be some innocent people in hell, but those who are innocent often don't live long. Those who are still alive in hell must be sinners who have committed countless crimes. Murder and arson probably don't even count in hell.
In this place full of villains, there is actually a lord who is willing to follow the rules.
It cannot be said that it does not exist at all, but it is definitely extremely rare.
With resources, food, and a good lord, this place can easily attract a large number of wilderness wanderers. As long as you give them a soul fragment, many devils will choose to stay in the territory temporarily. Although taxes need to be paid in time, this place is really rich. It is much easier to find food than in the wilderness, and you don't have to risk your life.
Melina's territory strictly prohibits private fighting, whether it is active provocation or legitimate defense, once discovered, the lightest is expulsion or the worst is execution. This rule is very overbearing and unreasonable, but it is still written in black and white in the contract, so it is not a trap.
On the other hand, prohibiting private fights is a guarantee of safety for weaker demons, which causes more weaker demons to run towards Melina's territory, and it soon becomes overcrowded.
With the influx of a large number of demons, there would occasionally be a few enemies seeking revenge on Ambersu.
Melina carefully screened them one by one. If she confirmed that they were not on the list, she would kill them directly. If she confirmed that they were on the list, she would deal with them according to different severity.
There are three levels. The weakest level is to take direct action and capture them first. The second level is mainly based on negotiation, and you need to notify Amber Xiu as soon as possible to deal with it. The most troublesome third level is the three names marked in red. That is to post a notice directly, hoping that the other party can see it first and let Amber Xiu sense it first.
When Parulil arrived at Melina's territory, she saw her name posted on the gate of the fortress and a playful smile appeared on her face.
"Sure enough, this bastard took the initiative to expose his identity just to lure out our old enemies."
Paruliel looked at the other notices posted on the city wall.
"Please queue up before entering the city. Anyone who disturbs the order will be put to death!" This notice was posted in the most conspicuous place and almost everyone could see it at a glance.
Paruliel's eyes rolled, and she took out another soul coin and threw it upwards.
"If it's heads up, I'll charge in and catch that bastard! If it's tails up, I'll give him a little surprise."
Paruliel muttered something, but after taking the soul coin, she sighed.
It is the reverse side facing up.
"Well, it looks like it's going to take some effort. Goddess of Fortune, I'll obey you."
Parulil blinked her eyes, and her appearance changed slightly. With just a little bit of modification, she looked completely different, and she was sure that Amber would never recognize her if they met again.
Paruliel looked at the long line in front of the fortress gate and walked to the front, twisting her waist.
Just as I was about to enter the line, a Cambion in front of me shouted, "Hey, girl, get in line!"
Parulil said in shock, "Queue? In hell, we still have to queue?"
The voice was shocking but tender, and it made people feel itchy. Many people looked over here, and when they saw that it was a lust demon, they immediately started to watch the show.
This Cambion was also itching to go, but he would not give in, and shouted: "You have to queue up everywhere, don't be mad at me! I've been waiting in line for a long time!"
Now everyone knows that this fortress is a rare "paradise" in hell, and everyone is trying their best to get in. But the number of devils is increasing, and now there are restrictions on entering the city, with a limited number of places per day, and no one will give in.
It's just a lust demon. Are you afraid you won't find it after entering the city? Parulil laughed seductively and continued to say to this Cambion: "I came from the sixth level of hell. I didn't expect that the devils in your first level of hell are so obedient. Sorry, I will queue up behind you."
Paruliel naturally stood behind this Cambion and pushed down a small demon behind him.
The inferior demon is almost the weakest devil in hell. He was already in a trance after being looked at by the succubus Parulil, and had no intention of resisting the succubus's behavior of cutting in line.
The Cambion just now looked at it and spat with disdain: "Waste."
He didn't care, since it wasn't inserted in front of him.
But Paruliel's queue-cutting not only pushed the little demon out, but also affected a series of demons behind him. The demons queuing behind him suddenly roared.
"What are you doing?! Get out!"
"Looking for death!"
"Get this bitch out of here!"
"Guards, someone is cutting in line. Aren't you supposed to maintain order?"
…
After shouting for a long time, the ears of the Cambions who were responsible for maintaining order at the city gate were buzzing. Finally, a guard could not help but come over and said to Parulil: "You, you are not allowed to cut in line. Go back and line up again."
Parulil rolled her tail and pulled the short demon behind her to her feet. She touched his head intimately and said, "I didn't cut in line. He's my friend. I asked him to help me reserve a seat in advance. You just asked us to queue up, but you didn't say that we can't let others help reserve a seat..." Parulil turned to the little demon and said, "Are you right, my dear friend?"
The little demon opened his mouth and stammered, "I... this..."
When the devils in the queue behind saw this situation, they roared even louder.
"Waste, have you been bewitched by a lust demon?"
"If you don't kick her out, I'll eat you alive!"
"Just kick these two out together!"
…
The little demon was trembling with fear at the overwhelming emotions. Parulil's tail immediately curled tighter, and she pulled him in front of her and said, "You better think about it. If you nod now, I will be your friend, but if you shake your head now and say no, do you think the demons behind you will thank you?"
When the little demon heard this, he finally stopped hesitating and said loudly: "Yes, we are friends. I am here to help her save a seat."
As soon as these words came out, the devils behind him suddenly became excited.
Many hot-tempered devils began to push and shove forward, as if they wanted to cut in line too if others did.
When Cambion, who was in charge of maintaining order, saw this situation, he immediately frowned.
They don't care whether they are occupying seats or cutting in line. They are just a group of beggars who come to the wilderness to beg for food. Who cares if they live or die? But they can't let them make a fuss, otherwise they will be punished.
Immediately, a guard held up the magic mirror, and a dazzling light burst out from the mirror.
It was just a simple flash spell, without any lethality, but it was a signal. If other people made trouble again, it would not be as simple as a flash anymore. The guards would directly summon the fortress's defensive magic.
This territory has the highest level of magic imprisonment. When the light beam covers it, even time can be temporarily stopped. No one can stop it. But once this authority is used, it means that a massacre is about to begin.
The devils who were making trouble were immediately frightened. After all, there were still many bloody heads hanging on the city walls. They were all devils who had violated the rules and were killed in the past few days.
As soon as order was restored, the guards surrounded Parulil again and ordered, "Get out right now, or I'll kill you for disturbing public order!"
Paruriel said with a face full of grievance: "I have already said that it is just to reserve a place, and it is not against the rules at all. Don't we devils value contracts the most? I heard that the lord here is very disciplined, so I came from the sixth level of hell to join him."
The guard said impatiently: "If everyone takes a seat, why do we need to queue? If one more person comes in, one more person will have to queue up behind him. If everyone takes a seat, why do we need to queue up?"
Parulil suddenly realized something and said, "So, if the number of people in the queue is the same, then it won't matter?"
The guards were stunned when they saw the pretty face. What did the demon mean by that? Parulil turned to the little demon and said, "My dear friend, you don't want me to be kicked out, right? After all, this is the position you reserved for me."
The little demon was stunned for a moment and was about to explain, but his mouth was covered by Paruliel's tail.
Now everyone understood that this lust demon had directly taken someone else's position. This little demon was also unlucky. He had no ability and could not resist the lust demon's charm. He would probably give up his position obediently in the next second.
As long as you don't take any action, the guards will most likely turn a blind eye.
The guards really thought so. They were not loyal soldiers who would do their duty wholeheartedly, so it was enough for them to just do it.
They never even paid a second glance to the little evil demon. Instead, they thought this succubus was quite interesting. She was pretty, had a good figure, and seemed to have an interesting personality. When she entered the city, maybe they could go and "take care" of her during the shift change.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Just when everyone thought that the little demon was going to be controlled and leave the team, Parulil suddenly took out a soul coin and said to the little demon: "Heads or tails?"
Parulil flicked her fingers, and the soul coin spun hundreds of times and fell into her hand.
The little demon felt his mouth being loosened, and wanted to call for help from the guards, but under the gaze of Parulil, he said something strange: "Front!"
Paruliel spread out her palm, and the soul coin in her palm was facing up, and the wailing human face was so clear.
"You're lucky." Parulil praised, and then she turned her head and said to the Cambion standing in front of her: "Handsome boy, my friend and I are in urgent need of a place, why don't you help me?"
Cambion was watching the show, and he never expected that the demon would suddenly blame him for the incident. He was about to curse, but suddenly he smelled a fragrance, and his self-consciousness completely disappeared, turning him into a drooling idiot.
At Parulil's command, this Cambion walked out of the queue like a pug.
Paruriel stuffed the soul coin into the guard's pocket and asked, "Now the number of people is okay, right?"
The guard was a little shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. The methods of this lust demon were so powerful that if he used it on himself, he might also be caught.
Perhaps summoning a forbidden magic circle could get rid of her, but why should I take the risk?
Anyway, the number of people is not a problem, so it's better to have less trouble than more. The guard quickly put away the soul coins and said to Paruliel: "Okay, stop making trouble and keep moving forward!"
The little disturbance was soon quelled, and the only person injured was the unfortunate Cambion.
Paruliel successfully came to the front of the team. Only after successfully passing through layer after layer of checkpoints and entering Melina's territory did Paruliel loosen the tail that was tied up the little demon.
The demons around him were coming and going, all heading towards different areas of the territory.
Every devil is in a hurry, trying to make a name for himself in this new city.
Parulil smiled and said to the little demon: "You must have thought I was going to drive you out, right?"
The little demon trembled and said, "No, no, no... I dare not, I really dare not think so."
"It's a clumsy lie, and it's reasonable to be suspicious. But it doesn't matter, I forgive your suspicion of me, but now you should understand that the word friend is not just a casual word." Parulil whispered to the little demon: "People who make friends with me will definitely get great benefits. This is my promise. Are you willing to believe me? Friend."
The little demon had been completely manipulated by Parulil. Facing this powerful and beautiful demon sister, the little demon dared not object and quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I absolutely believe that we are best friends! I will believe you unconditionally."
Parulil smiled and said, "Yes, I like your attitude. But let's make it clear that you have to trust me unconditionally. If you break this, I will be angry."
The little demon patted his chest and said, "No, absolutely not. I promise to listen to you 100%. We can sign a contract!"
Parulil shook her head and said, "Being friends is about the heart. We don't need boring things like contracts. As long as you are sincere, it's fine. Now, where should we go?"
The little demon heaved a sigh of relief and quickly suggested, "I heard that this territory is recruiting people everywhere. Collecting soul fragments is the best job, and you can deduct a lot of them, but now there are too many people. If you want to hand in enough soul fragments, you have to roll up and be faster than others. Otherwise, let's apply for the city defense army. I heard that the treatment is very good. With your ability, you can definitely..."
Before the little demon could finish his words, he saw Paruliel take out another soul coin.
Paruliel used the same action to throw the soul coin into the air. It seemed to be at exactly the same height as before, and even the speed of rotation was almost the same, as if she had practiced it countless times.
"If it faces up, we will serve as the city defense army. If it faces up, we will go find the lord."
Paruliel grabbed the soul coin, spread it out and saw that this time it was facing up.
"Very good, fate has pointed out the direction." said Parulil.
"Okay, let's go now...wait, let's go find the Lord?"
The little demon was frightened by Paruliel. Isn't this courting death?
Although they heard that the lord of this place was easy to talk to, it was not something that outsiders like them could meet whenever they wanted. They heard that many prisoners who wanted to assassinate the lord had been caught in the city in the past few days, and their heads were hung on the city walls to dry. Going there now would be suicide! And what was the point of going to see the lord? Outsiders like them should immediately register their identities, then take out a loan to get the legendary magic mirror, become a "farmer" collecting soul fragments, apply for a city defense guard, or if they had a skill, apply for a job in other departments of the fortress.
The lord will not be responsible for such a small matter. It is not only dangerous but also meaningless to disturb him rashly.
Parulil said, "If you don't go to see the Lord, how can you make a name for yourself? Are you going to be a lowly person like other losers? Only by meeting the Lord can you rise to the top and become her right-hand man. In one month... no, ten days, I will make you the supervisor beside the Lord. How about it, am I a good friend?"
"You're crazy!"
The little demon was about to refuse, but he saw the big sister's eyes turned blood red.
Parulil asked expressionlessly: "You just promised me that you would listen to your friends. Do you want to make me angry?"
"I……"
The little demon only felt the overwhelming pressure coming. If he dared to say a word of refusal, he would probably be crushed.
"I promise, I will listen to you. I will listen to you in everything."
Parulil was satisfied and said, "That's right. You won't suffer any loss if you follow me. Don't worry, this is the guidance of the goddess of fate, it will never be wrong."
The little demon thought, could this demon be a lunatic? How unlucky he was to be targeted by a lunatic.
But now he had no choice but to ask Paruriel: "How can we get close to the lord? We can't even get through the door."
Parulil said, "Didn't you see the notice on the city gate? They are offering rewards for those names. I know the name Salvador, so I'll tell you everything. Mark it carefully. I won't take responsibility if you answer wrong."
The little demon could only prick up his ears and listen carefully, but when Paruliel mentioned the master of the second layer of hell, the Duke of Steel, the chief secretary... each of these names was like a meteorite hitting his soul.
Nine levels of hell! What the hell have I gotten myself into?
He was just a little demon who was just pulled out by the hell worms. Was it so exciting just after going to hell?
