The candle was brilliant, and the head that was placed on the delicate silver plate looked more and more terrifying. As an ancient lord who crawled out of the wall of hundreds of insects, even if he died, his head still had a majesty that was extremely oppressive to mortals. The king put down the glass and reached out to take the tray from the devil.
He held up the silver plate with one hand, and held the bloody head in front of him.
The eyes of the lords moved with the movements of the king.
"Triangular and four-eyed, shaped like a crocodile head, with ancient scales... It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Bemos." The young mortal monarch looked at his head as if he were admiring a work of art, his tone was soft, with sincere regret . "Unfortunately, it looks like you can't enjoy today's feast."
Some late-born lords had not noticed something until this time. With so many evil lords of hell gathered together, coercion alone is enough to crush ordinary mortals into flesh. But the silver-haired monarch sitting on the throne did not change his face from the beginning.
Tilde was the lord with scales on his upper body and compound eyes all over his body. It was just overwhelmed by the greed for the ring of authority worn by the king, and it almost rushed directly. At this moment, after calming down, Tyrde looked at the gentle-toned king with a silver plate on the throne, and suddenly shuddered, feeling an inexplicable danger and terror.
"Mr. Bemos is indeed very sorry."
The devil stood up, bowed slightly, and his voice was sincere.
"So, it presents this to you as an apology."
The devil spread his hands, and a bone ring lay quietly in his palm.
When they saw the bone ring, the breaths of the lords in the hall could not help but become heavier. They greedily looked at the bone ring that had become an ownerless thing at this time, and their eyes flickered.
That is the ring of authority for "gluttony and the evil of all things."
The devil seemed to have noticed, and turned his head inadvertently, his eyes swept across the faces of all the lords, and the corners of his lips were raised, revealing a dangerous smile.
"If that's the case, let Mr. Baymes take your seat."
The king handed the silver plate to the vampire attendant standing aside, and then stretched out his hand under the eyes of many greedy eyes. He touched the bone ring in the devil's palm with the bone ring on his finger, and the bone ring symbolizing the authority of gluttony shattered into small light spots and melted into the bone ring in the king's hand.
Seeing this scene, the pupil of the lord who had just stopped at the military heavy industry base at the banquet turned into a thin line.
It has a bird's head, black feathers from the chest up, and wings on its back, but the lower part itself is like a giant python. The eyes are diamond-shaped unique to cold-blooded reptiles, and the eyes are gloomy and cold. It is the head of all reptiles and birds, and one of the oldest lords to emerge from the Wall of Insects.
Basilisk.
Holding the silver plate, the vampire attendant walked to Lord Basilisk, and respectfully placed the head of the dead gluttonous lord on the banquet.
Lord Basilisk's spine-tinged snake tail swam slowly, patting the icy rock slab gently. The lord sitting opposite the lord of Basilisk held his glass and shook his head slightly at it.
Above, the devil has humbly stood at the right hand of the king, replacing the vampire who sent the gluttonous lord to his seat as the king's personal attendant. He whispered to the king to introduce the lord of Basilisk opposite to the lord who mastered the "trick".
The king glanced at the "tricky lord" in the devil's mouth. Among the many burly or ferocious lords, the deceitful lord seemed very shabby and unremarkable. It was thin and small, as dry as an ugly old monkey, with a pair of wrinkled bat wings dragging its back.
Its strength is indeed the same as its appearance, it is very weak, and it is blunt to say that any ordinary hell lord can kill it head-on. However, the treacherous lord is also one of the earliest lords to climb out of the Wall of Hundred Insects, and one of the most stable lords in the hell territory.
A lord of "deceitful" authority.
The king casually raised his glass again, and the devil filled the king with a strong drink called "Night Rose."
He raised the golden goblet.
"Although it's a pity, some of our friends don't seem to plan to come to this banquet." Guo Dynasty raised a glass with about one-third of the seats vacant, "However, one thing to be happy about is that everyone here is still there. Remembering the contract signed between Hell and the Rose family more than a thousand years ago, today, I still come to the appointment. For the old covenant of Hell, please toast."
"We are also very happy to see that after more than a thousand years, the Qiangwei family still has bloodlines and can still come to fulfill the contract of the year." The treacherous lord laughed, his tone complimented, he grabbed the exquisite wine glass with monkey paws, and took the lead towards The king on the throne toasted, "Toast to all of you for the lasting friendship between hell and earth!"
Lord Basilisk looked impassive and motionless after the deceitful Lord raised his glass.
At the banquet, the monarchs who were born later were surprised.
Hell Old Testament.
This is a strange and familiar existence for all hell creatures. Any creature in hell knows the "Old Testament of Hell," the code of hell that was said to have been briefly practiced more than a thousand years ago. It is precisely because of the existence of the "Old Testament of Hell" that the Blackrock King City will be the symbol of the kingship of hell, and will be the seat of the highest throne.
However, it is not until today that they know that the old covenant of hell is actually related to a human family.
The little lords looked left and right, looking at the treacherous lord raising a glass, then at the lord Basilisk who was sitting still, and then swept their eyes to the king and the devil, not knowing whether they should raise their glasses or not.
Although every hell creature knows the existence of the "Old Covenant of Hell", the Old Covenant of Hell has not been awakened for a long, long time after death from hell. For ordinary hell lords, this is the first time they have received a summons from the Blackrock King City. The moment they received the invitation, they really felt the existence of the rules of hell, and the power of the rules warned them in the dark that they would be punished if they did not come.
"...when the order is issued from the throne, all lords shall be summoned."
This is the first article of the "Old Testament of Hell".
The secrets related to the Old Testament of Hell and the Blackrock King City are too long ago, and most of the ordinary hell lords who came to the banquet were determined to observe the actions of those ancient lords.
You must know that hell has been chaotic for so long, and the lords have long been accustomed to the days of being their own kings, and no one wants to bow their heads.
- What's more, actually bowing to a mortal
"it's a pity."
The king shook the glass, he looked at the dark red liquid in the glass and chuckled.
"I thought that only mortals have a short lifespan, so it is difficult to remember what happened in the past. I didn't expect that even the lord of hell, with a long lifespan, could not overcome the scouring of time. It seems that many friends of hell , It seems that you don't know the original contract?"
"I made you laugh."
The treacherous lord laughed and looked around with his glass in hand.
"Old folks, the old covenant of hell was signed more than a thousand years ago. At that time, the battle of doomsday spread to the sky and the earth, and hell was also shrouded in the bloody sun of dusk. The hell lords at that time formed an alliance and signed a contract with the world. Contract. You are blowing strong winds every day now, and you can't absorb any power from the world. Hell was not like this before. We used to be able to go out from the gate of purgatory and enjoy the world."
"As a matter of fact, friends of hell, you can still go out from the gates of purgatory and leave the barren hell as before." The king said with a smile, he raised his glass in the direction of Legrand's military heavy industry department, " Lords, I believe you must have seen the humans working here, right?"
The eyes of the lords at the banquet flickered.
There is no being who wants to crawl out of here more than the lord of hell.
At the beginning, the lord of "greed and ill-gotten wealth" tried every means to put his messenger ship into the world through the gap in hell, so as to secretly obtain wealth and power from the world. In hell, the lords fight every day, just to seize more cracks that can communicate with the world.
The living conditions here are too harsh.
"Can you open the gates of purgatory?"
Lord Basilisk's gaze fell on the king's hand, its pupils as thin as silver threads. It was watching the devil standing beside the king. They have played against each other, although neither side has used their full strength, but they know that the strength of the other party is similar to their own without special help.
It should even be worse than myself.
Because the devil lost his name.
The older the lord, the more aware of the importance of the name. A devil who has lost his name is a guy who has been cursed by the world and has no place even in hell. A demon without a name has no authority. Gluttony's strength is similar to it, but it died at the hands of the devil. This made Basilisk have to be wary.
Its tail slapped the ground as if indistinctly.
"The revival of the old covenant in hell is enough to prove this." The king replied calmly, he waved his hand, and the vampire attendant next to him walked forward with another tray covered tightly by metal, "Of course, this is nothing. Something to brag about, because it's not just us who are recovering."
The blood race attendant opened the metal hood, and all the lords in the hall subconsciously showed disgust.
A white gold cross was placed on the tray, and the cross was covered with a faint light.
"The angels have stepped down from the clouds, recruiting believers in the world, and establishing their own kingdom." The king said lightly, "You still have to be trapped in your own place, waiting for the final judgment, they will tear open the sky and come with horns, and then let hell again. To annihilate and die once and for all?"
He said, raised his head, his eyes seemed to pass through the icy rock, and looked at the distant sky.
The treacherous lord jumped in his heart, and then quickly calmed down.
It thinks too much.
"Angels won't easily set foot in hell, and what they prefer to completely destroy is probably the rose family that has been stubborn for thousands of years." The deceitful lord calmly separated the lord of hell and the king between words, "In fact, You can also see that hell is not as good as before, although we are still willing to form an alliance with the human world, but the contract of the past is no longer suitable for today."
The king looked indifferent: "So, lords and gentlemen of hell, what parts of the old contract do you want to change?"
"The part about Blackrock King City."
Basilisk took it, and it slowly straightened up, looking at the king with cold eyes.
"The alchemist has been destroyed, and today's human beings have long been ineligible to occupy the Blackstone King City in the contract. Hell is not a thousand-year hell, and the Qiangwei family is not a thousand-year-old Qiangwei family. Shen Lu ordered that it should be thrown into the fire."
"For example, you want to overcome the taboo and become the monarch of hell yourself, don't you?"
The king laughed.
