Night Ranger

The appearance of the black hand was unexpected by Marvin.

Regarding the Nine Levels of Purgatory, Marvin still didn't have a thorough understanding. How did Di Luosi get the position of Lord of the Scorched Earth?

This is still a mystery to him.

However, this does not prevent him from accepting the help of the black hand.

His judgment is still there. If Di Luosi wants the Blade of Sodom, then there are probably not many people in this universe who can compete with him.

When Marvin summoned Black Hand before, he was still a middle-level devil knight, but now he is a high-level devil, which must have something to do with the support of the devil king.

He sent the Black Hand to help Marvin obtain the Blade of Sodom, which sounds a bit unbelievable, and after so many things, many events will automatically bring a little conspiracy in Marvin's eyes, but he finally believed in the Black Hand rhetoric.

That man, after all, was his grandfather.

...

Walking through the vivid ghost city is a different kind of experience.

Although Marvin already knew that the devils in Devil City were phantoms thousands of years ago, he was still curious about these phantoms.

It is said that the Devil City is a stronghold of the Nine-Story Purgatory in Feinan.

They used this place as a springboard to attack Feinan.

Of course, this was several epochs ago. Later, due to various reasons, the demons were expelled, and the city was left empty.

Even so, Devil City is still full of devil's breath, and they never seem to leave.

Some core bloodlines in the nine-story purgatory still have a special way to bypass the magic pool of the universe and reach the devil city by "going through the back door".

Of course, the strength of these devils who arrived in Devil City is generally not particularly strong.

The highest upper limit, that is, the high-level devil. For example, Blackhand Bud.

But Thaddeus was different.

Thaddeus who appeared in Devil City is just a clone!

This guy is actually the second son of the lord of the [Extremely Evil Hell] in the Nine Levels of Purgatory.

His strength is unfathomable. Compared with other devils who prefer to gain merits in the bloody wilderness or the bloody battle plain, the second son of the extremely evil lord prefers to wander in the world.

His avatars are everywhere.

Blackhand admitted that he was no match for Thaddeus. Fortunately, there is actually a rule in Devil City.

[People with devil blood cannot harm each other in Devil City].

This rule is similar to the iron law of the Kingdom of God. It is said that it was the rule set by the nine devil lords who built the Devil City back then. After all, it was the nine-story purgatory at that time. It is still the rhythm of working together to fight against the kingdom of heaven.

After many years, this iron law still exists.

This is why Marvin met Thaddeus before, and neither the latter nor the black knight did anything.

They clearly knew that Marvin also had the blood of the devil, and tried to use violence in the devil city. Undoubtedly it is the will to fight against Devil City.

The city's will is the iron law of hell, and the devils can't fight against it, so they can only choose to take the first step and go to the tomb of the bloody emperor, trying to get the Blade of Sodom before Marvin.

However, Black Hand didn't seem to be in a hurry to complete his task. He walked very smoothly and didn't speed up deliberately.

"The Blade of Sodom is probably not that easy to get."

"The strategy in the previous life was very problematic. That guy was mainly for showing off equipment. The specific details are still not written."

Marvin thought secretly.

They navigate the seemingly endless city.

Gradually, Marvin guessed why the black hand walked over so slowly.

He needs enough time to tell Marvin the relevant information.

Not only about this devil city, about the blade of Sodom, but also about the bloody emperor and the second son of the evil lord who appeared beside the black knight.

【Thaddeus】.

This name was extremely active in Feinan as early as the Third Epoch.

At that time, it was the time when Lance was the most powerful in God, but the second son of this extremely evil lord still relied on his own wisdom to walk around the powerful men of the third era.

It is said that even the current Heavenly Kingdom. There are also many strong people who have a good relationship with Thaddeus.

Those gods received Thaddeus' help in the third era. In more devilish and professional terms, they are investments.

This guy is a very cunning guy, and at the same time has a very tricky vision, the person he likes. All guys with potential.

However, investing in this kind of thing, even a powerful devil, will sometimes miss it.

In fact, this is most likely the most important reason why Thaddeus appeared in Devil City today.

"No one knows the specific content of the transaction between the Bloody Emperor and Thaddeus." Blackhand explained: "The only thing that is certain is that this violent Lord of the Underdark received help from Thaddeus when his life was at its worst. .They signed a contract. According to the content of the contract. After the bloody emperor became the master of the underground, Thaddeus deserves his reward."

"But in fact..." Hei Shou stretched out his voice, and for the first time there were fluctuations in his indifferent and flat tone: "When Thaddeus triumphantly came to collect debts, he was almost killed by the bloody emperor!"

"This is a major event that shocked hell. Many people gloated over it. After all, everyone is jealous of Thaddeus' amazing vision and decisive investment; however, more people are wondering, how did the bloody emperor violate the devil's contract?"

"To this day, the devils in hell still haven't figured out how the bloody emperor succeeded in going back on his word, and made the second son of a hell lord suffer a lot. But since then, Thaddeus has rarely appeared in Feinan is on the mainland."

"His actions have become much more low-key and secretive. Some people say that there was a terrible loophole in the contract signed by the bloody emperor and him, so that even after the emperor's sudden death, Thaddeus did not dare to come to liquidate."

Ma Wen silently figured out the meaning of the black hand words.

I don't know these secret histories at all.

He was already somewhat grateful to Di Luosi. If he hadn't sent black hands over to relay the information to himself, he might have encountered some troubles.

No matter what you do, information asymmetry is always a very hidden loophole.

Although he was not prepared to clash with Thaddeus, it was always good to know the details of the other party in advance.

However, what made Marvin more concerned about this story was the contract between the bloody emperor and Thaddeus.

It is almost impossible for someone to trap the devil in the contract!

Not to mention that the devil is not an ordinary person, but the second son of the extremely evil lord!

If the Bloody Emperor forcibly violated the contract, let alone Thaddeus himself. His father, the Lord of Evil, will definitely make a move in order to maintain the face of the Evil Purgatory.

But in fact, until the bizarre sudden death of the Great Emperor, there was no trace of the extremely evil purgatory in the Underdark Region.

Thinking of this, Marvin couldn't help but become more curious about the tyrant who had been dead for many years.

That's a man who cheated the devil...

At the same time he narrowed his eyes. Thinking about:

"Thaddeus secretly supported the black knight Cangger, and endured it for so many years. Now that he reappears in Devil City, I am afraid it is not just a deal with the black knight."

"He came back to collect debts from the corpse of the Bloody Throne!"

"This muddy water is deeper than I imagined."

...

After learning about the origin of Devil City and the details of Thaddeus from the black hands. Ma Wen had a lot of confidence in his heart.

Combined with some memories of his previous life, he also has some plans in his mind.

As for the question he was most curious about, Black Hand didn't answer it.

What is the legend that Thaddeus said?

The senior devil sincerely stated that this question involves the secrets of the nine layers of purgatory. If Ma Wenken considers joining the forces of hell, then his grandfather Di Luosi will naturally tell him this secret.

If the answer is no, then it is better for Marvin not to know this secret.

Facing Black Hand's answer, Marvin looked at the senior devil curiously: "Didn't you come to recruit me?"

Black Hand shook his head: "I am only responsible for completing the tasks assigned by my lord."

"My lord thinks that the Blade of Sodom is suitable for you. So he felt the need to help you, that's all."

"As for the recruitment, I think my lord has another candidate. Of course he wants you to join hell."

"But he won't force you."

"The rest, I don't know."

Speaking of this, the black hand suddenly pointed forward: "The entrance to the tomb of the bloody emperor is right there."

Marvin looked along his fingers.

Not surprisingly, a not-so-familiar figure was slowly pacing outside the entrance of the tomb.

Seeing the arrival of Marvin and Black Hand, the other party raised his head with a slight smile:

"It turns out that you don't want to trade with me because you have another trade partner."

"A lowly, lowly devil... What made you make such a wrong choice? I can assure you. I will give you more...much more than he can give you."

Black Hand looked stiff, looking at Thaddeus, but did not speak.

The relationship between the nine levels of purgatory is intricate. He was just a newly promoted guard on the Scorched Earth Throne, so it was naturally not good for him to conflict with the second son of the extremely evil lord.

Thaddeus looked at Black Hand, then at Marvin, those green eyes seemed to see through everything: "Wait, you haven't joined the forces of hell yet... It seems that my previous assessment of you was wrong, You are not yet a qualified successor of purgatory... interesting. Your bloodline... hehe."

Marvin listened quietly, he was not in a hurry anyway, he wanted to hear more useful information from Thaddeus.

Who knew that the other party suddenly changed the topic:

"Do you want to meddle in my grievances with that liar?"

Blackhand said calmly: "Your Excellency Thaddeus, I am just a guide. This Mr. Marvin is very interested in the Blade of Sodom, and I am responsible for bringing him here."

"The rest, I don't know."

Thaddeus laughed dryly, as if he didn't believe it, and looked at Marvin again: "What did you give him?"

Marvin spread his hands. Indicating that he did not pay anything.

Thaddeus showed a surprised look, and then said to Marvin with a strange smile: "Service for free?"

"Mr. Marvin, I don't know how deeply you know the devil's world."

"But there is one thing I think you should know. In the devil's world, there is no gratuitous service."

"All sacrifices come at a price..."

Thaddeus smiled meaningfully: "You should be more careful."

The update is here. This paragraph is slowly revealing the power of purgatory, so the progress is a bit slow. I will try to write better and faster. In addition, the number of chapter words has been raised. There will be another update in a while, please ask for a recommendation ticket. (To be continued.)
