Chapter 617: A Fraudster with Wide Network of Contacts

The furnace that forged the soul made a hissing sound and belched out black smoke, as if it was about to explode.

This machine was not old, but it was the first time that a clone of a god was crushed and stuffed into it as fuel. Perhaps the firewood thrown in was too fierce, and the furnace finally exploded completely under Bayer's gaze.

Harvey's body was wrapped in a ball of sacred light and slowly fell from mid-air, looking like a newly born god.

Bayer frowned. What is this? A human demigod?

Did Xirik make such a big fuss just to revive a demigod? But no matter what it was, this was something he had spent a lot of money on, and it belonged to him.

Bayer reached out and tried to grab Harvey.

Lock him up first, and then consider whether to dissect him or eat him directly. Anyway, some losses must be compensated.

Bayer opened his huge palm, and a suction force appeared in his palm, trying to pinch Harvey in his hand.

No matter if you are a demigod, a newborn baby has no ability to resist a devil archduke like Bayer.

Harvey's eyes were closed, as if he was still unconscious, but at this moment all of Bayer's movements became extremely slow in Harvey's perception.

Time seemed to stand still, only Harvey's soul was still active.

But Harvey did nothing. He just recalled the feeling when he had a flash of inspiration just now. How did he get out of the web of fate when he was trapped like a worm?

On the surface, Harvey was motionless, but just when Bayer was about to grab him, a ray of light like a veil fell on Harvey's body, and transformed into a goddess full of love and glory who hugged Harvey in her arms.

This momentary illusion caused Bayer's palm to pause for a moment.

It’s not that this phantom has any powerful defensive capabilities, it just simply makes Bayer confused.

Because Bayer could not feel any power from this phantom, as if it was simply a figment of light and shadow, and it could be said that it had no effect at all.

"It's just an illusion. It's Xirik playing tricks again!"

Bayer snorted coldly and continued to reach out his hand. This time he wanted to crush Harvey completely and only keep the soul that had caused him great losses.

However, at the moment when Bayer exerted force with his palm, a blazing white flame fell from the sky, piercing directly through his palm and nailing it to the ground.

Bayer let out a scream, but the next second even his mouth was filled with flames.

The blade of the sword, with holy flames, pierced through the back of His neck and pinned Him to the seat.

“Awesome…”

Bayer made a shocked sound. In front of him, a beautiful six-winged angel appeared. The flaming sword came from the hand of this angel.

It was Zariel, but not the fragmented Devil Archduke, but Zariel in angel form.

When he broke into hell, he killed countless demons with the help of these two swords burning with holy fire. Even many of the famous generals of the Blood River Fortress died under his sword.

He should be constantly corroded by the laws of hell, so that he will always remain a fallen angel.

When did He become an angel again? ! Why didn't the laws of the first layer of hell stop Him at all? !

Bayer couldn't understand it at all.

Zariel is the master of the first layer of hell on the surface, but in reality he is a prisoner of hell, a sinner who is tortured for eternity. The fragmented scars on his face are a sign of the torture Zariel endures all the time.

But at this moment, Zariel was pure and flawless, a perfect holy being, without even a single flaw being found.

This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Bayer originally thought that there was something wrong with the laws of hell that weakened the power that Zariel could control, but he never thought that Zariel was actually trying to escape.

But why didn't Zariel, who had become an angel again, run away? Why did he appear here? Bayer had no time to think about the answer, because the raging holy fire had already devoured Bayer's body and was burning his soul madly.

Bayer struggled frantically. Although the holy fire had some restraint on the devil, Bayer could not be killed so easily.

The raging hellfire gushed out from Bayer's wound, and after colliding with the holy fire, there was an earth-shattering explosion. Bayer thought that Zariel would give in, as long as he was given a chance to regain his freedom, he would mobilize all the power of the Blood River Fortress to fight against this angel.

However, Zariel did not retreat at all, nor did he make any defense, allowing the two energies to explode in front of him, leaving countless scars on his holy body.

The golden blood flowed out, proving that Zariel was seriously injured, but Bayer also lost the chance to escape. The two holy fire swords had turned into a seal, completely trapping Bayer's body, making it impossible for him to break free in a short time.

Zariel seized the opportunity through a sneak attack, and then at the cost of being injured, forcibly sealed Bayer.

When Zariel finished all this, Harvey had just fallen to the ground, unharmed.

When Harvey opened his eyes, he was met with Zariel's golden eyes.

Zariel said, "Go tell your teacher that I saved you! I will also give him the authority of the first layer of hell, on the condition that he opens the passage to Heaven Mountain for me! Be quick, I don't have much time!"

After saying this, Zariel seemed to turn into a statue, completely motionless.

Zariel needs to focus all his energy on maintaining the seal on Bayer, and there can be no distraction from now on.

After Bayer discovered his problems, Zariel knew that he didn't have much time left. No matter how cautious Bayer was, he would keep testing him, and Bayer would soon discover all his plans.

Zariel simply took the initiative.

While Bayer was still arguing with Xirik, Zariel had already sneaked into the Blood River Fortress.

Thanks to his knowledge of Blood River Fortress and the various permissions he had, Zariel's infiltration was silent. It was not until Xirik and Bayer fell out and Harvey exploded from the furnace that Zariel finally found Bayer's flaw.

The sneak attack was successful when Bayer was distracted, and he was successfully sealed.

But the moment Zariel made his move, He was completely transformed into an angel and could never go back to the past.

The laws of the first layer of hell will soon begin to deal with him as an invader, either corroding him into a devil again or killing him outright.

If it were just this, Zariel was confident that he could hold on for a few years.

But the problem is that hell not only has laws, but also countless devils.

Changes on the first level will soon attract the attention of other devil dukes, and even the sleeping lord of hell will be awakened.

If Zariel is discovered by these demons, there will be no hope.

The originally steady plan has been destroyed, and Zariel now has only one hope left, and that is Ambershu.

Only Amber could immediately communicate with Mount Heaven and open a passage for Him to escape from Hell.

Harvey was stunned when he heard Zariel's voice. What was going on?

Harvey really knew nothing. His memory was still stuck on the moment when he drank tea with Xirik and fell asleep.

Didn’t I just sleep for a while? How come I was in hell when I woke up? In the blink of an eye, I met a powerful devil, and in the blink of an eye, I saw a holy angel.

In Harvey's view, in just a few seconds, several major turning points occurred in his life.

Even Harvey, a usually peaceful young man, couldn't help but sigh: "Fate, it's fucking exciting!"

However, despite his emotion, Harvey reacted quickly.

No matter what is missing, the most important thing right now is to inform your teacher.

Harvey now hurriedly searched his body, trying to turn the magic mirror out, but found that he was naked, with nothing on. If it weren't for the phantom gauze on his body, he would have been naked.

Of course, Xirik would not let Harvey carry the magic mirror with him, otherwise what if he was discovered by Ambershu.

If Harvey wants to inform his teacher now, he must find a magic mirror immediately. It cannot be locked and must be ready to use.

But this is hell. Harvey is just a human being. Will he be torn to pieces by those devils if he takes just two steps?

Harvey stroked his chin, thinking about what to do.

Then he saw the thin gauze dress on himself, and Harvey quickly had the answer - nothing to do.

Because when Harvey put on this gauze dress, he gained a special effect called "Favored by the Goddess of Fate".

The specific principle is very complicated, and Harvey could write a whole bookshelf of papers on it, but it is also very simple to summarize it, that is - super lucky! During the time this gauze exists, Harvey does not need to do anything, and all the problems he encounters will be solved naturally.

This is the legendary favor Xavi received after being promoted to legend.

Theoretically, even if Hell was destroyed now, Harvey would remain safe for some reason without even a scratch on his scalp.

The impact of Zariel and Bayer just now was so powerful that most of the palace was shattered, but Zariel blocked all the shock waves from Harvey's direction, and the millions of broken rocks didn't even touch a hair on his head.

And now, Harvey needs a magic mirror...

There were dense footsteps coming from outside the palace. It was impossible that no one had noticed such a big commotion just now.

A group of fully armed demons rushed in. It was obvious at a glance that they were all strong men. I was afraid that any one of them could crush Harvey to death.

But they didn't care about the little guy Harvey, they were all attracted by the huge angel emitting holy light.

With his brain not working well, he subconsciously rushed towards Zariel, but he was ignited as soon as he got close, and his body quickly turned to ashes.

It was not until someone died that someone recognized that the angel was clearly their boss Zariel.

The fallen angel suddenly turned into an angel and started a fight with Grand Duke Bayer?

This scene stunned the devils and they didn't know what to do.

At this moment of hesitation, screams were heard and the demons began to kill each other.

The party that suddenly attacked was extremely ruthless and went for the vital points, and they also had an absolute advantage in numbers.

In just a few seconds, the battle was over. Ten of the dozen or so demons that entered the door survived, and the rest were all killed in one blow.

Harvey looked at the scene in confusion, completely unable to understand what was happening until the surviving demons saw Harvey.

The leader raised his sword high, pointed at Harvey and said, "There is one more! Kill him quickly! We can't let the news leak out!"

Before Harvey could explain, another devil said, "Wait, I know him, he's the fraud's student."

"A fraud?!"

As soon as this name appeared, all the demons gasped and looked around at the same time, fearing that they would be killed by a sudden trap in the next second.

Amber Xiu's reputation in hell is almost as famous as the laws of hell, and just mentioning him is enough to make people tremble with fear.

The devil who recognized Harvey carefully avoided Zariel's holy light, came to Harvey and said, "Mr. Harvey, how come you are in hell?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Harvey looked at the huge devil who was several heads taller than him in confusion and asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Lourencos. I have some friendship with your teacher. I used to be a holy warrior of Ryan."

Harvey said in surprise: "Mr. Lorencos! I heard the teacher mention your name!"

Isn't this the legendary paladin who was tricked into treason when Amber was dealing with the iron-blooded general?

If it weren't for Lorenkos's help, Amber would not have been able to solve the big trouble at the border of the Unholy Song. If the Iron Blood General hadn't died, the Dragon Emperor wouldn't have had to lead the army in person, and there would have been no subsequent story.

But, what happened just now?

Lorencos explained: "We are all Iron Guards loyal to Grand Duke Zariel..."

There is a very special group in the first layer of hell, namely the knights who followed Zariel to invade hell.

Not every Hell Knight is a traitor. On the contrary, most Hell Knights die heroically or follow Zariel to fight until the last moment.

Precisely because it was too tragic, some people became traitors, and blocking the retreat was just to cover up their crime of defection.

These loyal Hell Knights remained loyal to Zariel until their death, even after he became a Fallen Angel.

Over countless years, Zariel dispersed these most loyal knights and placed them in various locations in Hell, while growing and expanding in secret.

Lorencos was a new member, and he liked the philosophy of this Hell Knight. After his faith was shattered and he became a sinner, the only thing that Lorencos could show for himself was his loyalty to Ryan.

Loyalty is a virtue, and the style of the former paladin Lorencos was also very popular with this group of Hell Knights, so they quickly accepted this new member.

Zariel is now making a desperate attempt and has activated all his latent powers. The Hell Knight is Zariel's biggest trump card.

Lorencos had never met Harvey, but he knew this person. After Amber's reputation spread, the people around him became the focus of attention, and Lorencos had done special research on them.

Harvey also repeated Zariel's previous words, and Lorencos put the magic mirror into his hand without hesitation.

Harvey took the magic mirror, and was still sighing in his heart that the favor of the goddess of fate was too great, and his wishes really came true... No, even if he didn't want them, they would come true.

Even if it was a place Harvey hadn't expected, fate would have arranged it clearly for him.

After opening the magic mirror and contacting Amber, Harvey quickly told his teacher everything that had just happened.

Amberxiu opened his mouth wide when he heard this. The world is changing too fast. Even the prophecy wizard cannot predict such an outrageous future.

Although he was shocked, Amber did not care about Zariel who was dying, nor did he ask about the authority of the first layer of hell. Instead, he asked Harvey with great concern: "You have been promoted to a legend?!"

Harvey nodded. This feeling couldn't be wrong. He had been promoted to legend without knowing it.

The previous premonition was correct. He returned to the teacher's castle and then was promoted. However, Harvey still doesn't understand why he can't tell others. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, he was promoted successfully and everything went smoothly.

"What is your legendary favor?" asked Amber.

The legendary favors of the prophecy mage are usually outrageous. Just like Amber's fate weaving, the effect of this ability is also very amazing. If Amber was not determined to be a scumbag, this ability would definitely surpass the Golden Throne.

"I regard it as a blessing from the goddess of fate..."

Harvey briefly explained the effect of this legendary favor, and Amber could not help but ask, "So, what's the price?"

"There's no cost and almost no consumption, I feel like I can keep this up forever," said Harvey.

Amber Xiu was not happy at all after hearing this. Instead, he reminded Harvey very seriously, "Every prophecy wizard's legendary grace is like this. It seems to have no consumption and no cost, but any abuse of the ability will bring tragedy. Your legendary grace... I can't say, in this regard, you have far surpassed me. But as your teacher, I still have to remind you that there is no ability that does not require a price, even if you are really the one favored by the goddess of fate."

Harvey nodded. He understood this truth.

Just like a prophet using his prophetic ability, it seems that he can use it at any time and predict the future without limit, but if anyone dares to use this ability to live his life, the result will definitely be very tragic. Over the years, Amber Xiu's relatives and friends have died, separated, and even turned against each other. He himself has been poor for most of his life until he decided to abandon his fate and began to reach the peak of his life.

But when he regained the power of destiny and used destiny weaving many times, Ambershu's soul was shattered and he fell into hell, and he almost didn't have a chance to be resurrected.

Now, Amber has once again abandoned the power of destiny, and the Grand Duke of Hell, Zariel, is about to give him the authority of the first level of hell.

This is the evil taste of the goddess of fate, you have no way to reason with it.

Among the wailings heard in the web of fate before, there must have been many unlucky people who abused the power of fate. They did not understand the price until the day they died.

But Harvey also had another feeling. If he continued to use this legendary ability, he might not be the one who would be in trouble. It was very likely that someone else would have to pay the price. Although it was just a feeling, the prophecy mage valued feelings the most.

The grace of the goddess of fate is this veil.

It has no effect in itself, but it is like an anti-injury armor. Any bad behavior towards Harvey will be backfired, and the price will be paid by these enemies.

Of course, feelings are just feelings, and they still need to be proven by real data. Harvey has just acquired this ability, and it is not possible to determine the specific way it works for the time being.

Harvey decided to continue maintaining the effects of this legendary ability until he left hell.

"Teacher, let's not talk about this for now. Look at Zariel..." Harvey asked Amber to look at Zariel, who was radiating holy light. He was also very curious about what choice his teacher would make.

Open up a passage for Zariel to return to Heaven Mountain and become the Grand Duke of Hell? Or reject Zariel's request and help Bayer remove the seal? Both options are good for Amberxiu. The ownership of the first layer of hell is now in Amberxiu's hands.

The magic mirror flew into the air and came in front of the angel-like Zariel.

"Grand Duke Zariel, let's have a chat," said Amber.

Zariel was originally concentrating on sealing Bayer, but when he sensed the approach of the magic mirror, his golden eyes finally turned to look in the direction of Amber.

Zariel said, "There is no time for chatting. Soon, the other hells will sense the changes in the first layer, and their armies will rush directly into the first layer to kill me or capture me. Even if I send all my men out to resist, I will be dead when Asmodeus wakes up."

Amber sighed and said, "Don't worry, I have arranged it. I have just contacted Mammon and Dispater. The second and third layers of hell will serve as barriers, and no other devil duke's troops will invade the first layer for the time being. As for the Lord of Hell, I sent a request to Oghma, and the Lord of Dawn and the God of Death also responded. Asmodeus should give these gods a favor and give you enough time to chat with me."

Zariel listened and couldn't help but sigh: "The last time we met, you were just an insignificant mortal. It's only been a short time, and a major event that could destroy the first layer of hell was suppressed by just a few words from you."

Amber Xiu smiled and said, "It's not my ability. I just have a wide network of contacts. Besides, those high and mighty gods don't want the first layer of hell to really become chaotic."

This was said modestly, but the people who heard it would not think so. Which mortal could have such a wide network of contacts? Zariel in the first layer of hell wanted to rebel, but the other two dukes of hell not only did not directly take action to suppress the rebellion, but helped guard the gate. The Lord of Knowledge, the Lord of Dawn, and the God of Death, all of them were famous and powerful gods, and they had to give Amberxiu a face and stop the Lord of Hell who might go crazy.

Everyone present felt the power of this "trickster". When he said he wanted to end the bloody battle, many people thought it was a joke. Now it seems that this is not a joke at all. If these gods join forces, it may not be impossible to end the bloody battle.

Amber continued to say to Zariel: "Let Bayer go. There is some trouble at Blood River Fortress and he is needed to deal with it."

Zariel didn't waste any more words and removed the seal on Bayer. The seal turned into the Holy Fire Sword and returned to Zariel's hand.

Bayer had just been freed, but he did not do anything to Zariel.

He had heard what Ambershu had said just now. Today's matter was no longer a personal grudge between him and Zariel, but a major event that many gods were concerned about, concerning the ownership of the first layer of hell.

Bayer snorted, and the wounds on his body healed quickly, and he soon regained the ability to speak.

"I think I am qualified to sit here and negotiate," Baier said.

Amber Xiu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, my followers have caused a little trouble. I'm afraid the demons will launch a counterattack soon."

Bayer frowned and asked, "Your followers are those mercury slimes? What did they do?"

Amber explained: "They accidentally captured a demon with a special identity... You can find out the details yourself. Bayer, do your job first. I can only temporarily protect Zariel from being crushed to death after the Lord of Hell wakes up, but not you."

Bayer wanted to kill the arrogant bastard Amber Xiu with a sword. How dare a mere mortal speak to him in such a tone? But now...

"snort!"

Bayer snorted angrily, then turned and left the palace.

The Blood River Battlefield is indeed the most important. If something goes wrong, even if he gets the power of the first layer of hell, it will be useless. The Lord of Hell will slap him to death and then take back the power.

Bayer left, and the others in the palace also wisely walked out of the palace, leaving only Ambersh and Zariel in angel form.

Looking at the holy and beautiful face in front of him, Amber sighed and said, "Zariel, I'm afraid your wish will be difficult to realize."
