The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 1692: Praying mantis catching cicada

Views:

The scarlet skeleton looked like Chicheng, and with its previous respectful and polite posture, it looked like the most loyal subordinate of the Three Kings.

But the three kings sitting on the throne either didn't care about the scarlet skull's statement at all, or they were disdainful from the bottom of their hearts, or they closed their eyes and rested their minds. In short, none of them was willing to believe the scarlet skull in front of them.

They clearly know what kind of existence the guy in front of them is.

Keep your mouth full of lies.

The viciousness in their hearts is several times more ferocious than the cruelest monsters under their command.

After a few seconds, there was a sneer from the throne on the right.

"Malicious?"

The laughter was full of sarcasm.

Naturally, such ridicule was not directed at Victor, but at Scarlet Skull.

Facing such laughter, the Scarlet Skull remained calm.

It saluted again.

"Your Majesty, I can assure you that he really has malicious intentions."

"He came here to provoke a war between us and the outside world."

"If you are not careful, the ring city will be destroyed!"

Scarlet Skull said.

"Huancheng has never been afraid of war!"

"Blood donation is the foundation of Huancheng!"

"The bones are the walls around the city!"

"And dead souls?"

“It is the most delicious dim sum!”

The voice still came from the throne on the right, but compared with the previous sneer, this time, the voice from the throne was full of bloodthirsty killings.

Moreover, with this sound, a little breath from the throne on the right overflowed.

Immediately, the entire hall was filled with the stench of blood, as if tons of corrupted blood had been poured in.

The soul fire in the scarlet skull's eye sockets danced slightly.

It returned to normal immediately.

"certainly!"

"We have never been afraid of war!"

The Scarlet Skull suppressed the trembling in his heart, and said obediently.

It hates this feeling very much.

But there is nothing to do.

It's not the suppression of strength, it's just because of the initial 'contract', not the three kings in front of me, but that... King Ren.

Although the three kings in front of him are not Nioh, the "contract" between the three kings and Nioh can still affect its "contract" with Nioh. Thinking of the stupid behavior of that Nioh, Scarlet Skull sneered in his heart, but On the surface, it became more and more respectful. It said: "We who are not afraid of war are powerful and invincible, but this does not mean that we can be used as guns. This will not only make us ridiculed by outsiders, but also Let me suffer unnecessary losses."

"more importantly… "

"It will damage the prestige of the three majesties!"

"So, I don't think we should promise him!"

After the words fell, the Scarlet Skull bent down again to salute.

"Are you teaching us how to do it?"

There was discontent in the voice from the throne on the right.

Immediately, the crimson skull that was about to straighten up just now bent down again.

"How can I teach His Majesty how to do it!"

"I'm just suggesting!"

"A suggestion from the heart of a subject!"

The Scarlet Skull said in trepidation.

"you this… "

"alright."

"Where's Victor?"

The voice from the throne on the right had just started, but was interrupted by the voice from the throne in the middle.

Different from the maniac and harsh one on the right, the voice from the throne in the middle is very soft and pleasant.

"He's washing and changing clothes."

"Your Majesty, as you know, he swam from the Smelly River."

Scarlet Skull said with a little embarrassment.

After hearing the word Stinky Water River, the figure on the throne in the middle leaned back unnaturally.

Not only the king on the middle throne, but also the kings on the left and right.

The king on the throne on the right yelled even more.

"asshole!"

"You must let him wash it!"

"If you stain my carpet, I'll hang you and him on the city wall to dry!"

Obviously, the power of the smelly water river is infinite.

Even the three kings around the city have to avoid the edge for the time being.

After all, no one has trouble with a septic tank.

Because, as long as you really fight with the septic tank, no matter who wins, you have to be covered in feces.

"I'll give him a good three washes."

After the Scarlet Skull finished speaking, he saluted again before leaving the hall.

The moment he left the hall, the soul fire in the scarlet skull's eye sockets jumped again.

all the best!

It's much easier than it imagined.

Having been together for a hundred years, it has already understood how to deal with the three kings around the city.

Blind obedience is not feasible.

A little bit of the opposite method, but often will receive miraculous results.

Of course, you must grasp the degree.

Otherwise, it will only backfire.

You know, compared with the grumpy, very easy to figure out Liao Wang.

It is even more afraid of the soft-spoken Wren King.

As for the king of habitat who rarely spoke

The opponent is completely invisible to it.

If it wasn't for the other party sitting there every time, it would almost think that the other party didn't exist at all.

There is no doubt that it is also the enemy!

Thinking that he had to face such three enemies, the fire of the Scarlet Skull's soul jumped rapidly.

However, immediately, it returned to normal.

Because, it has found an ally.

An unreliable ally with evil intentions.

but!

Useful enough!

Thinking of this, the Scarlet Skull couldn't help speeding up its pace. When it returned to the guest room, Victor had already finished washing.

"I suggest you wear some... well, yes, it's perfume."

"Is that what your people call it?"

Scarlet Skull said.

"Compared with perfume, I want to know more, how often will the three majesties meet me?"

Victor asked.

"Wait after you put on your perfume!"

As the Scarlet Skull said this, he stretched out his hand that had been hidden in his sleeve, and gestured to Victor that everything was going well.

Seeing this gesture, Victor was not surprised.

The reason why he chose the opponent to be his ally is because the opponent has the ability to complete its plan.

He knew far more than the other party imagined.

"Do you think I was carrying something when I came out of there?"

Victor asked back.

"of course not."

"The only robe you have is the one I gave you."

"So, I have prepared a little, other things for you."

As he spoke, Scarlet Skull took out a small glass bottle from his tattered sleeve, which contained some blackened liquid, but after the bottle was uncorked, the smell of grass and earth wafted out.

The smell is very light, you can't smell it if you don't smell it carefully.

But it has excellent concealment ability.

At least, when such a smell appeared, the stench involved in the room disappeared instantly.

"This is the essence I collected from the grass seeds on the ground, ground and extracted."

"I usually only use it during celebrations around the city."

Scarlet Skull introduced.

Without further ado, Victor took the small bottle and poured half of it on himself.

Scarlet Skull watched this scene with satisfaction.

Both sides are smart people.

Naturally know some things do not need to say more.

The contract is always the basis.

Some necessary means are the prerequisite for further cooperation.

The essence extracted from grass seeds is naturally real.

In it, though, it adds something special.

Nothing for a short time.

If it is not neutralized by another thing for a long time, then wait for it to rot.

"plz follow me."

"Remember everything I told you."

"When you see the three His Majesties, you must maintain respect."

Scarlet Skull reminded.

Victor nodded.

However, when following the Scarlet Skull into the king's hall, Victor stood upright, looking at the three kings sitting in the shadows, without any intention of saluting.

The Scarlet Skull raised his hand and gently pulled Ravictor's skirt.

However, Victor not only ignored it, but took a step forward.

Immediately, the soul fire in the scarlet skull's eye sockets began to beat rapidly.

Just when it was about to take further measures, the Liao King on the throne on the right spoke.

"snort!"

"Ignorant mortals!"

"Do you wish to show your honor by such an act?"

"You know what happened to the last guy who did that?"

The cold snort echoed in the hall like muffled thunder.

The threatening words were accompanied by the aura belonging to the Liao King, pressing towards Victor like a real mountain.

Faced with such an imposing manner, Victor's face turned pale.

However, he didn't retreat, let alone bend down.

He straightened his body hard.

"You hung it on the city wall to dry?"

he asked rhetorically.

"you know?"

Liao Wang was startled.

"I went through the city gate and entered here. On your city wall, those are very conspicuous."

Victor said calmly.

"Don't worry, you will soon become one of them."

Liao Wang obviously felt that he was being teased, and immediately slapped the armrest of the seat angrily.

Immediately, several translucent evil spirits emerged from the ground of the hall, grabbing at Victor.

A biting cold feeling spread to the whole body.

Victor looked at all this calmly, as if he wasn't the one who was caught.

Just as he was about to be pulled out of the hall, the voice of the middle throne sounded.

"etc!"

In the gentle, pleasant voice, the evil spirit dispersed, and Victor came back again.

However, this time, it was different from before.

Victor bowed respectfully to the middle throne.

"I have seen His Majesty."

Victor said so.

"I don't like smart people very much."

"The reason why I asked you to come back is also because I am curious about what you are here for."

"If you give me a satisfactory answer, then I will spare you."

"If not..."

"I will not hang you on the city wall to dry, I will drown you in the stinking river."

The pleasant voice is still gentle, but the content of the words makes people shudder.

Victor smiled.

"Your Majesty, do you want to leave here?"

He opened his mouth and asked.

A seemingly ordinary sentence changed the atmosphere on the throne.

Not only the King Wren on the throne in the middle, but also the King Liao on the throne on the right and the King Habitat who has never spoken are all shaking. The surrounding shadows seem to be affected by these three figures, and they begin to gather on top of Victor's head , just like a dark cloud covering the top, making people breathless, and then, there were voices comparable to thunder, echoing in the hall—

"what do you know?"

"Scarlet, is that the secret you revealed?"

"It should be killed!"

The first sentence is from King Gran.

The second sentence is the King of Lies. Following the words, the scarlet skull was enveloped in an unkind aura.

The third game was King Xi, and the whole hall became icy cold, as if he had fallen into an icy hell!

This is not an illusion!

Victor could clearly see his breath.

And the Scarlet Skull

Although it knew that Victor would use some special methods to persuade the three kings, it didn't expect such a special way, and cursed Victor a few times in his heart, but the trembling from the 'contract' forced him to bow and salute.

"I absolutely did not reveal anything about the three His Majesties!"

"I'm willing to swear!"

Scarlet Skull said so.

"None of its business."

"I did a survey here before entering here."

Victor said.

"investigation?!"

"You are lying!"

"Huancheng is impossible to be investigated!"

The Lie King sneered.

"That's a normal situation!"

"If..."

"I'm using the Philosopher's Stone?"

Victor said with a smile unchanged.

Philosopher's Stone? !

The three kings were taken aback.

The breath in the hall suddenly dissipated.

In the calm hall once again, the three kings looked at each other in the shadows.

They have also heard of the name of the Philosopher's Stone, especially the magical properties of the Philosopher's Stone.

If it really is the Philosopher's Stone...

They have a great possibility to get out of here!

Get out of this cage!

There was a sense of urgency in his heart, but King Gran did not speak in a hurry.

King Gran glanced at King Liao.

Immediately, the knowing Liao Wang said directly.

"so what?"

"Are you spying on us with the Philosopher's Stone, just to trick us into destroying your enemies for you?"

"of course not!"

"That is our common enemy!"

"Because the Philosopher's Stone is in their hands!"

Victor corrected Liao Wang's words, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he continued: "In fact, all of this is my layout, I got a fragment of the Philosopher's Stone by chance, through this fragment , I identified the core of the Philosopher's Stone, which is among those people, but under normal circumstances, I can't get this core at all, so I proposed this time'Winter Night Battle', and I hope to get The help of the three His Majesties."

"I need that core too much!"

"Only with that core can I find a way to revive my wife."

"certainly!"

"To revive a mortal, the core will not consume too much, enough for the three majesties to get out of trouble."

"I can guarantee everything I say."

"I'm willing to sign the contract."

After Victor finished speaking, he saluted respectfully again.

The three kings did not speak, and a contract flew in front of Victor out of thin air.

Victor glanced at it, bit his finger, and signed his name.

After the contract was signed, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly eased, and even the Liao King put away his hostility.

The contract is established.

It is enough to prove that Victor did not lie.

The Philosopher's Stone thing is true.

So…

This is their hope!

"Tell us, what are you going to do?"

King Gran asked.

"I need to let these humans and weirdos who come to welcome their juniors have special discoveries—it doesn't need to be too expensive, but it's enough to make them feel excited."

Victor said.

The three kings looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"good!"

A promise.

The entire royal city immediately began to operate.

Precious props and boxes of coins were moved out of the treasure house.

The guards of Wangcheng stood guard all around.

They are waiting for the time to go.

It affects them too much during the day.

Night is the best time.

While waiting quietly, these guards didn't notice at all that there was a pair of eyes watching all this under the ground.
