Chapter 836: Baier (I)
At the forefront of the Abyss Blood War, Grand Duke Byer, the commander of the Bronze Castle on the devil's side.
This guy is a living legend.
He was originally just a little devil generated by the laws of the plane, the kind with a pointed fork in his hand, this kind of little devil didn't even have a combat power of 5, and like the little devil on the demon's side, he could only barely survive by clinging to a powerful demon and slapping his horse.
The fate of them being thrown into the battlefield of the abyss bloody battle can be imagined, and there are very few who can survive, let alone the demons who have evolved to a higher level, and the probability is not even one in 10,000.
But Bayer did just that.
He has survived tenaciously since he was a little devil, and has evolved to become an abyss alchemist, which is equivalent to the existence of the Barloyan Demon on the demon side, and was also awarded the rank of Grand Duke by Asmontis, the lord of the Nine Hells, making him the front-line commander of the devil's side.
It's a perfect dick counterattack.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Baier's combat power is not even as high as that of the Demon Lord, and he is not best known for his combat ability.
Bair's greatest achievement was to lure an entire army of angels into falls, turning them into fallen angels, and signing a contract with the devil to help the devil's side participate in the abyssal bloody battle.
It is conceivable what kind of existence this is, with a clever tongue and an explosive IQ.
If it was only Ahn who pointed to himself, he would not have chosen to cooperate with Bayer anyway.
Just as he would rather help the dwarves of the stone head than the dark elves whose rewards are more in line with the mage, dealing with demons is much more tiring than dealing with demons.
The former needs to be careful at all times whether every word the devil says is tricked for you, while the latter only needs to 'fight' when they can't talk.
So even though the devil has a good reputation, An Yizhi never thinks about looking for the devil's help in the past.
However, Zhu Xianbi has dealt with Baier a few times, and the results are quite satisfactory, and many of the props they use to do legendary tasks are obtained through Baier or clues found from him, which is a relatively familiar NPC.
Some time ago, the Abyss Blood War was in the preparation stage, and Baier, as the front-line commander, was naturally busy with his feet not touching the ground, and Zhu Xianbi contacted him as soon as he ran to Broken Domain Town, and he didn't reply until recently.
This is also the reason why the Zhuxian Pen and the Sky Splitting Paper stayed in the abyss for so long and did not get the help of the devil to escape.
They don't know any other devils.
With the precedent of the Zhuxian pen in front of him, An Yizhi hesitated for a moment and decided to meet Bayer for a while, and whether he could reach an agreement will not be mentioned first, even if it is not a big deal, he will think of other ways.
The three of them made up their minds, discussed the details of the meeting, and then left Broken Domain.
The vehicle is a salamander summoned by the Split Sky Paper, and the Zhuxian pen is responsible for navigation, and An Yizhi is purely sitting on the lizard to watch the scenery.
- Although there is nothing to see.
The place where they met was not the Bronze Castle, even if Broken Domain Town belonged to the front line of the Demon Side in the Abyss Blood Battle, it was actually still a long distance from the other side of the Devil, so long that it would take ten days and half a month even if it flew over.
However, they are now far away from Broken Domain Town, Rao is a salamander with extremely strong endurance, and after running wildly for more than half an hour, he also feels exhausted, and at this time, he can't see a trace of Broken Domain Town at all.
He reached out and pulled out a short wand with a ruby on the top, and pressed the bottom of the wand, only to see a beam of light from the ruby, pointing a little farther behind the mound.
This means that you are almost at the place, and this last guide is equivalent to precise positioning.
The salamander changed from running to strolling, carrying the three of them around the mound, and then they came across a mountain that was rarely seen in the Abyss Plains.
Speaking of a mountain, it actually feels more like a large stone as high as a three-story building, and you can see that this weather-beaten black rock is densely covered with large and small cracks, and the largest of them is like a doorway, appearing in front of the three of them.
"Arcane Eye"
Raising his hand and exhaling a magic eyeball, he made it scan around in the air, and An Yizhi waved it off, and said to the two:
"It's okay around, but someone in the cave should have set up a shield aura, and my secret eyes can't see through it."
"That should have been set by Bayer, but to be on the safe side, let's go in according to the planned formation."
The original plan formation mentioned by the Zhuxian pen is actually the splitting paper in the front, the Zhuxian pen in the middle, and the broken finger of An Yi.
This kind of formation can allow An Yizhi to exert the effect of his spell to paste his face as soon as he encounters danger, and it is also very convenient for him to run away as soon as possible.
After all, they are not too familiar with the Zhuxian pen, what if they sell me?
Zhu Xianbi obviously knew this, so he arranged it this way, so that An Yizhi could rest assured.
Put away the salamander, and the three of them walked into the crack according to the agreed formation, which should have been enchanted inside, and there was only a black crack from the outside, but as long as you pass through, you will find that there is a hole inside.
It was a room about 50 square meters in size that seemed to have been dug out of stone, with a long rough stone table in the center, rows of chairs neatly arranged around the stone table, and a circle of white candles on the table, so that the whole aspect could barely see.
On either side of the room stood 10 tall and terrifying Abyss Demons, they looked somewhat similar to the Barlow Flame Demon at first glance, except that their skin was more crimson, and they did not spray sparks from the corners of their mouths like the Barlow Flame Demon.
The three people who poured in pretended not to see the abyss refining demons at all, and regarded them as backgrounds.
After all, with the strength of three people, there was no chance of winning under the siege of 10 Abyss Refining Demons.
These Abyssal Refining Demons also turned a blind eye to the three people who came in, and the two Abyss Refining Demons who were only close to the door glanced at them, and then continued to maintain a standing guard posture.
These tall devils are all guards, and whoever guards them is naturally Bayer.
Bayer's body is also an abyss refining demon, An Yizhi thought that he was going to talk about things with his neck tilted next, but when he took a step closer, he saw a human man with an extraordinary temperament standing at the other end of the stone table, and he happened to turn around.
He had a long knife at his waist, a gentle smile on his face, and his facial features were unremarkable, and it was hard to find his kind when thrown into the crowd, but he always had a special temperament, confident and shrewd.
It feels more like a successful self-made entrepreneur than a devil.
- It seems to be the same thing.
"The old customers have finally arrived, and I thought you were lost."
Bayer's voice was unremarkable, but still full of confidence. And judging from the tone, he is indeed very familiar with Zhu Xianbi.
"You know, it's a little inconvenient for us to move around in the lower planes, and it's inevitable that we'll be a little late."
Baier stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and the answering Zhuxian pen was not polite, and pulled out a chair and sat down.
Looking at the meaning of the two, it is almost like meeting between ordinary friends, Bayer does not give people the majesty of this guy as a big boss above level 70 at all, but seems very approachable.
Of course, if you think so, you have already stepped into the trap of the other party, no matter how polite and easy the devil behaves, the devil is the devil, and you must be very careful.
So the three players all looked relaxed, but in fact, they had already tightened a string in their hearts, for fear of accidentally landing on the road.
After casually greeting a few words, Zhu Xianbi opened his mouth to talk about business:
"We need a portal to get us back to Dosu, and that's our price."
At first glance, it seems that Zhu Xianbi is anxious, and he says the bottom line of his side, but it is not.
Their purpose must have been guessed by Bayer, and instead of hiding it, it is better to say it himself at the beginning and take the initiative in the negotiations.
Since the two sides want to talk, there is something they need for each other, and this trick will allow Zhu Xianbi to gain an advantage in negotiations.
"A portal, of course not a problem."
Bair sat across from him, his hands crossed, and a smile that made people smile:
"For me, sending three mortals back to Dosu is just a gesture, and for the sake of your friendship with me, there is no need for any transaction at all."
It sounds like it means that it can be teleported for free, but in fact, it is a series of words that directly erase the negotiation advantage that Zhu Xianbi has just obtained.
If Ann Yizhi guessed correctly, Bayer still has the following.
"But for my friend's sake, I also hope you can do me a favor."
Sure enough, there is!
The meaning of this conversation is that I help you open the portal to help your friend, don't you mean to help me?
He shifted the conversation directly from rigorous negotiation to mutual help between friends.
"It depends on what you can help with, with the strength of the three of us, what we can do is very limited."
In other words, don't look for us if it's too difficult, you can't help.
"Of course I don't embarrass my friends."
As he spoke, Baier took out a scroll from his bosom and placed it in front of the Immortal Pen, which was the most common contract used by the devils.
Zhu Xian Pen opened the seal, in addition to the Heaven Splitting Paper to be vigilant, An Yizhi and Zhu Xian Pen, the two guys with the fastest brains, jointly browsed the contents of the scroll.
[Brother An, what do you think? 】
Through text messages, Zhu Xianbi communicated with An Yizhi.
[I choose not to watch]
casually replied to a text message, and Ann slapped the scroll on the table with a snap of his fingers.
This move caused the abyss refining demons standing around to draw their weapons one after another, and the atmosphere was a little tense.
Baier just waved his hand in displeasure, allowing the Abyss Refining Demon to withdraw his weapon.
"Is this friend you haven't met a little dissatisfied with something in the contract?"
"To be precise, I'm dissatisfied with all the content, if you can only offer such conditions, then we can only say goodbye, farewell, and can't help."
The content of the contract is actually very simple, Bayer asked the three of them to quietly bring 'something' into Broken Domain Town to activate it with magic power, and also wrote very thoughtfully the size and size of this item, only the size of a crystal ball, not that particularly conspicuous thing.
With that in mind, Bair was willing to open a portal for Ann to send them home, and it seemed like a good deal.
But whether it's An Yizhi or Zhu Xianbi, you can see the problems in the contract.
What exactly is 'something' and what does it do, the contract doesn't write it at all, he only writes the size of the item, and the need for mana to activate.
There are so many magic items the size of crystal balls that it's hard to guess from them, but if you apply the keywords of Broken Town, Demons, and so on, it's not hard to guess.
A powerful alchemy bomb, or an item that can directly open a portal.
And the purpose, of course, is to destroy the Broken Domain Town.
