This is the space underneath an aristocratic mansion in the royal capital.
There is not a trace of light in the space, it is very dim, only a lamp is burning, providing a negligible view, and people can barely see the situation here.
And in this space, on the ground in the center, a young man was lying.
It was a young man with a handsome face without the slightest emotion on his face, like a puppet, who was always stern.
The young man lay on the ground, although there was no trace of emotion on his face, his eyes were full of laziness and fatigue, as if he didn't want to do anything, just wanted to lie here to sleep, yawning.
However, in the next second, a rush of footsteps and a desperate cry rang out here.
"Max! Max!"
Calling such a name, the basement door was forcefully opened.
The person who came in from outside was surprisingly Aldap.
I saw Aldap rushed into the basement while panting and whitening his face, as if burning eyebrows.
"Eh...!"
The young man called Max suddenly seemed to be frightened, turned his head, looked at the door, and then seemed relieved to say hello to Aldap.
"Hello, Aldap, I don't know why, you are exuding very attractive negative emotions. Are you here to invite me to dinner?"
With that said, Max still has no expression on his face, and his tone is innocent, like a child who has not grown up, very innocent.
However, looking at this innocent young man, Aldap was furious.
"What are you relaxing there?! Useless lower-level demon!"
-"demon".
It is a race that lives in hell, uses human negative emotions as food, specializes in deceiving and defrauding human beings, squeezing human value in the form of transactions and contracts, and is regarded as a sin by the gods.
Before, Fang Li killed a demon in seconds when the Demon King's Army attacked the capital, and he was also a superior demon whose strength was second only to that of the Demon King's cadres.
This shows that in hell, demons are also hierarchical.
A powerful demon is like Bagula, a superior demon, second only to the Demon King’s cadres in strength, and capable of leading the Demon King’s army, which ordinary people simply cannot match.
The weaker demons are like the lower-level demons mentioned by Aldap. As long as they are not novice adventurers and reach level 20, there are ways to deal with them.
It is said that in hell, there are seven great hell dukes, commanding all the demons in hell.
The seven great demons, one by one, competed with the gods for the existence of the world in ancient times, and it might even surpass the demon king in terms of power alone.
And Aldap called the young man in front of him a lower-level demon, and directly stepped forward, kicking the demon constantly and forcefully.
"Get up! Get up! There is such a big thing! When are you going to lie down?!"
"Eh! Eh! Don't kick me! I don't know anything!"
Max, who was being kicked constantly by Aldap, could only hold his head and make a weird call.
Such behavior actually fueled Aldap's arrogance and made Aldap kick harder.
"It's all you useless lower-level demon! Didn't you use your power to manipulate His Royal Highness Alice and the others to accept the artifact? Why can't you even influence a rookie adventurer from the novice village? If you knew you were so useless, then You should be called out!"
Summoning Max from hell, it was a long time ago.
Although the devil is a resident of hell, it's not that he can't come to the ground.
As long as they go through the summoning ritual, then people can summon the devil, enter into a contract with them, and let the demon help them realize their wishes.
Of course, since the object is a demon, a price must be paid.
This price can be one's own life, one's own soul, or even the service of one's descendants and grandchildren, depending on the severity of the wish.
The reason why Aldap summoned Max was not a formal summoning.
Rather, with Aldap's ability, there is no way to successfully summon the devil.
Aldap was able to summon demons, it was just a coincidence.
In fact, Aldap is more than just an artifact.
In addition to the artifact that can exchange bodies, Aldap also has an artifact that can summon monsters.
However, this summoning is carried out randomly.
Aldap used that artifact to summon Max and conclude a contract with him.
It was with Max's power that Aldap could get to his current position and did so many crimes without being sanctioned.
Otherwise, there won't be such a nobleman who is both inferior and influential.
The reason why Akua can feel the power of evil and be so attached to it without being affected is because that power comes from the devil.
Aldap has been using the power of the devil until now, and he is at large until now.
"If it wasn't for you to manipulate things and distort the truth, I would have abandoned you long ago!"
Aldap kicked the demon in front of him extremely fiercely.
"Hurry up and continue to use your power to distort the memories that His Royal Highness Alice and others discovered today, otherwise you don't want me to pay the price again!"
To use the power of the devil to achieve a wish, naturally there is a price to pay.
However, Aldap has never paid a price so far and has been using Max's abilities.
Just because Max’s memory is almost like a fish and a snake, and he will forget many things in a short time.
Aldap took advantage of this, and has not paid the price yet.
This man really did not enter the stream, and he wrote again.
The person who has not paid the price once, but abused the person who helped him achieve his wish in this way, even if the person is a demon, it is enough to see how his behavior is.
"Eh! Eh!"
Max can only hold his head, endure Aldap's violent kick, screaming strangely, and answering like this.
"But... But, there is a very strong light in the place where you ask to use your power. Even if you use it, you will be expelled, and..."
Before this sentence could be finished, a voice rang outside the door.
"Moreover, you don't have the opportunity to use that power anymore."
With the sound of such a sound, the surrounding air changed.
It became heavy.
"!"
Aldap suddenly stiffened.
Outside the door, the murderous intent as sharp and cold as a blade blew in like a cold wind, and instantly enveloped the audience.
Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared slowly and walked in from outside the door.
The ice blue magic eye, like a low temperature below zero, exudes a terrifying luster.
