After being accidentally interrupted by Nenasha, Herbert finally remembered the important matter and took out a gray crystal from his arms.
"These are the souls I mentioned earlier."
He threw the crystal that had absorbed the souls of the nobles directly in front of Kreti.
"oh?"
Miss Devil caught it easily, felt the content inside, and her eyes widened in surprise.
"oh!"
"I didn't expect you to actually do it, and there are so many——
She felt those "noble" souls and couldn't help licking her lips, her smile was extremely charming and evil.
"I thought you were just talking at that time."
Before leaving, Herbert found Kreti and asked her for a crystal that could collect souls.
The devil then asked the mortal what he was going to do, and the result he got was that the young man wanted to collect here the souls of every noble he had killed!
At that time, the devil only thought that the paladin was bragging and didn't think he could really be so decisive.
"They'll leave it to you."
Herbert didn't explain anything, and said lightly:
"You can absorb their souls, that's fine, they are your reward."
"But before that, you have to ask all the questions you should ask, can you do it?"
Why would the Archmage of the Witch Society extend his hand into the Frost Crystal Kingdom? Is it really just because of the good wife
It's just one side of the story, just listen to it.
He has to judge the truth himself.
"Haha, of course."
After hearing this mission, Creti became even more excited and said with a happy smile:
"Whether it's the wealth they have hidden or the evil deeds they have done over the years, I can tell you everything."
"Don't worry, I can tell you exactly which noble lady they had a crush on when they were little!"
Herbert also laughed and shook his head, "That's not necessary. I don't want to know so much."
"Haha! Then it won't be up to you."
"That's it."
Herbert nodded and was about to leave, but stopped when he thought of something.
He turned back, blinked at Kreti, and asked with a smile:
"I've given you all these good things, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"
Herbert really just wanted to make a joke, but what he didn't expect was that Kretie actually thought about it.
"Well - it seems you did lose some money."
"Um?"
You really have to give it!
Chapter 181 Will Win (6/6 plus 25)
"No, do you really want to give it to me?"
"Hmm? Isn't that what you wanted?"
Kreti rolled her eyes at the surprised Herbert and said with a curled lip: "What do you mean? I abide by the contract very well!"
In contrast to demons, devils are very contract-abiding.
Although the devils only abide by the agreements they make themselves, and they will also set various traps when signing the contract.
But once the contract is established, they will do their best to complete it.
Although Herbert and Kretie did not sign a formal transaction contract, for some reason, Kretie felt that he should abide by the agreement.
She didn't notice what was wrong, but Herbert had a vague idea.
The ability of Devil's Tongue.
His verbal agreement also had power, and a mutually recognized contract was directly reached between the two of them.
In fact, this power has always been there, but he just didn't pay much attention to it.
This power was not only reflected here, but also appeared when he made a new promise with Freme.
That agreement was not just a weak verbal promise, but a contract made between the two souls.
The contract is done.
Herbert thought about this and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Anyway, he had no intention of violating the contract.
In the previous life, there was a saying in the world that rules actually restrict those who abide by them.
Because the punishment is not strong enough and the supervision is not strong enough, many people choose to trample on the rules recklessly.
But in the extraordinary world, the situation is just the opposite.
Contracts are powerful.
Here, if you don't abide by the contract, you will really be punished!
The binding force of abiding by a contract will only work on those who want to break their oath, and will make them hesitate when they want to break the agreement.
For those who want to abide by the contract, the existence or non-existence of the contract does not really mean much.
"Herbert, what do you want?"
"Um?"
Kreti's hesitant voice interrupted Herbert's thoughts. He looked up and found that she was thinking with a conflicted look on her face.
"These souls are of high quality, and they are all of the noble blood that I like—"
Miss Devil tilted her head in annoyance and bit the corner of her lips gently.
She has done a lot of unequal transactions, but she has rarely done equivalent transactions.
This sudden action made her feel a little conflicted.
"Um?"
Herbert smiled, walked to the throne easily, looked down from top to bottom, and said, "I owe you this time, I will make it up next time."
"Kreti, this is not a transaction between us, but mutual assistance."
"You help me, and I help you."
"I'll help you a little more this time, and you'll help me a little more next time. It'll be a one-way street."
The first time is strange, the second time is familiar, that's how interpersonal communication works.
We all owe each other a little.
Breaking off too cleanly will make people feel that you don't want to have too much to do with him.
Listening to Herbert's heresy, the devil raised his eyebrows and crossed his legs.
"you-..-."
She raised her eyes slightly, looking at the Paladin who did not hide his gaze, and did not dodge, but asked with a smile:
"Do you think I'm the gullible devil?"
Do you think I don't understand you
"You are not."
Herbert shrugged and said easily: "Because you understand, you will be more likely to accept my advice."
This matter itself is mutually beneficial and win-win, and there is no reason to refuse it.
"That's right."
And just as he said, Kreti nodded generously and smiled meaningfully:
"This time, I will indeed accept your kindness."
"But are you really determined to have more to do with a devil like me?"
The devil's voice contained a hint of temptation and warning.
In all the stories, those who have anything to do with the devil will not have a good ending.
They may be able to gain power and wealth and achieve their goals for a short period of time, but at the end of the story, they all end up in destruction.
Are you really prepared to associate with the devil
Herbert looked at the devil with disdain and curled his lips.
What are you pretending for, you naughty sister
I think you are really a little inflated, you can even pretend like this.
Where were you when I was with the evil spirit
"cut!"
In response to Herbert's ruthless contempt, Kreti snorted without any face:
"I have warned you in advance. If anything goes wrong in the future, don't blame me!"
Anyway, I've made this disclaimer first, so if anything happens later, don't blame me!
"Don't worry, if anything happens, I will definitely find you first!"
After saying this, Herbert and Kreti looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"Okay, Miss Devil, see you next time."
"Let's go quickly, Mr. Paladin."
Smiling and raising his hand to say goodbye to Kreti, Herbert pushed the door and returned to the endless maze.
After the portal closed, the expression on Herbert's face became somewhat subtle.
Is it an illusion
Why do I feel that Kreti's personality seems to be much gentler than before
Why are you so honest
[“How is it? Has she become more obedient?”]
Um
Herbert blinked and suddenly realized where the problem was."
Kreti was taught a lesson by Nenasha and has forgotten all her memories of that time!
He asked with respect and some uncertainty: "Master, you also know the skill of personality cleansing. I want to learn it!
""..--What?"]
The God of Comedy was confused and didn't understand what Herbert was saying.
Herbert rubbed his chin and nodded, "But she has indeed become much more honest than before."
[“Hehe, thanks to my help!”]
"Yes, yes, but you'd better not do this next time. If you lose control, your existence will be exposed."
[“Uh—Okay.”]
Knowing that her actions just now were indeed a bit impulsive, Nenasha did not insist and changed the subject, asking:
[“How is it? Have you decided to go meet that little angel and give it a try?”]
“You always have to give it a try.”
"Since she invited me like this, it would be impolite to pretend I didn't hear her."
