Chapter 984: The Secret of the Hell Lord (I)
There is no day or night, no sun, moon and no stars, the sky is always filled with blood-red light, and the blazing fireballs are constantly flying, and even inside the fortified fortress, explosions can still be heard outside.
However, Bair no longer had time to pay attention to the chaotic noise outside, staring at the human sitting across from him, and asked nervously, "How, did you find any clues?" ”
"Hehe, you're trying to ask, have I discovered the secret of Zariel's status as a Hell Lord?" Henry rubbed his dry eyes and asked rhetorically with a tired expression.
After more than ten hours of non-stop research, he had figured out how Hell worked, and why Zariel was able to maintain his lordship after the coup d'état.
Of course, some of the physiological structure and reasons for the fall of the fallen angel itself have also been investigated, and he even specially collected a small bottle of blood containing powerful energy, ready to take it back for a small experiment, to see what effect will be achieved if the two attributes of the demon and the fallen angel are fused together.
"Please stop fooling around, you know what I want." Bayer slapped the table impatiently.
He could feel that after a series of brutal dissections, the other party must have obtained a lot of useful information, but since he came to this secret room, he has not even asked for anything of value.
Henry didn't care about the anger of the big devil in front of him, he just smiled playfully: "Hehe, well, since you are so eager to know, it doesn't hurt to sue you." Who made me a person who likes to keep promises? Before getting to the point, though. Let's start by talking about the promotion mechanism of the devils. So that you can have a more intuitive impression next. ”
"What does this have to do with the devil's promotion system?" Bair subconsciously frowned, a puzzled expression appeared on his ugly face.
"On the contrary, there is a lot to do with it. First of all, the power of the whole hell comes from the oppression of the soul, and it is the energy transformed by the strong feelings in human nature that allows the devil to gain a long life and great power. ”
Speaking of this, Henry's eyes showed a hint of excitement, and he continued to explain: "If I'm not mistaken. In the Hell Promotion mechanic, the number of management tiers is always fixed, right? There are only two ways for every devil to be promoted, either to bring down his boss through betrayal and political means, or to patiently wait for his boss to die unexpectedly. And once a lord's soul harvest is greatly reduced, then he will immediately demote some of his less useful subordinates, these are all right? ”
Baier nodded without hesitation: "That's right, when the soul energy is not enough, the lord will use this method to stimulate his demons and force them to work harder to collect souls. ”
Henry smiled meaningfully and shook his finger, "No." You're wrong, and that's just one aspect. The most important reason why the lords do this is energy. In my research, I found that each level of hell lord is equivalent to a distributor, and after the soul of anyone who comes to this layer of hell is squeezed, all the energy flows to him, and then he distributes it to other demons. ”
"This also means that the more the lord allocates to his subordinates, the less he will keep, and at the same time, it costs energy to promote a devil, and demoting a devil will release energy, and it takes a lot of energy to promote an inferior demon to a high-level devil, and it is the opposite to demote a high-level devil to an inferior demon, so ......"
"So now even though Zariel has been imprisoned, she still has the power to distribute energy! Damn it! No wonder I couldn't complete my promotion! Bair cursed loudly through gritted teeth.
He is very smart, and he found the problem at once, although as the Great Commander, he has the power under one person and above ten thousand people on the level of hell, but because he is below this person, he can't get the right to distribute energy at all, and Zariel will definitely not take the initiative to distribute energy to those who betray him, so he can't get enough energy, and naturally he can't complete the transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change.
I have to say that Hell is very strict in terms of systems and laws, much more perfect than the orderly and kind planes of Heaven Mountain, and there are very few loopholes to drill.
Although I found the problem, there was no way to do it.
Because as long as Zariel is still the titular lord and has not taken the initiative to make mistakes, even Asmodeus, the lord of the nine layers of hell, cannot revoke her title at will.
Hell is a place of absolute order, everyone and everything must follow the laws and rules, and anyone who dares to challenge the bottom line will definitely be severely punished, which has been proven again in the recent "paying" operation, and even the lords of one level have paid an extremely heavy price after violating the law.
In this incident, several lords united to try to overthrow Asmodeirs' rule over Hell, but unfortunately, they were played by this insidious and cunning devil of the strongest devil, one lord died completely, and several lords were liquidated.
Perhaps many resentful lords and devil dukes continue to brew conspiracies in secret, but as the commander of the first line of the bloody war, Baier will definitely not dare, because although he has temporarily formed an alliance with the eight demon generals, the object of the other party's allegiance is always Asmodeus, once the lord of hell speaks, then these eight bloody commanders who control the elite army will immediately fight back.
"Isn't there any other way? For example, squeeze and extract energy directly from her! Bair slapped the table a little reluctantly.
Under his terrifying power, the hard rock splattered in all directions, and in a few clicks a huge handprint was struck.
Smiling and looking at the irascible Deep Hell Purgatory in front of him, Henry deliberately pretended to be indifferent and shrugged his shoulders: "Of course there are ways, and there is more than one, but the risks are very high, I'm not sure if you dare to take this risk." ”
Byer's eyes lit up slightly, he licked his sharp teeth with his tongue, lowered his voice and asked, "What way?" ”
"Your Excellency, I believe you should know that there is no free lunch in this world, I have fulfilled my obligation just now, and the next construction will not be free." Henry is not a fool, and naturally understands that this is the best time to make a fortune.
Obviously, Bayer is very eager to get rid of his current embarrassing identity, after all, every devil has a strong desire for power, and he is not willing to share it with anyone at all, not to mention that he still came to power through a coup d'état, and his position has never been very stable, Zariel is like a time bomb tied to his body, and he may explode with a bang at any time, so this is a good opportunity to make a lot of money.
"So excuse me, what price do I need to pay to get these jianyì. Provided, of course, that your construction is feasible. ”
As an old fritter who has been struggling in hellish politics, Bair is no stranger to trading, and as long as he can achieve his goals, he doesn't even mind shaking hands with the devil's sworn enemy, the devil.
In fact, he did the same in terms of practical actions, and many demon lords were in the background with this devil commander who was fighting on the front line of the bloody battle, and sold information to attack his opponents, among which he was called the most devil-like demon, but the famous two-way plug of men and women - the dark lord? Grazt, who is said to have maintained an extremely ambiguous relationship with him.
Of course, these are all hearsay, and there is no evidence.
Henry touched his chin and pretended to think about it for a few minutes, and then suddenly asked, "I heard that you have an elite army composed of humans and tiflins, and each member is a professional above the twelfth level, I don't know if it's true?" ”
"That's right, their main role is to organize the mercenaries who come to fight from all over the multiverse. As you should be aware, quite a few races have some misconceptions about us devils, so there are times when having humans and Tieflin as commanders can reduce their disgust, and if you want this army, then I can only say sorry, because their role in blood battles is irreplaceable. Saying that, Bayer spread his hands helplessly.
He has not yet completely integrated all the forces on the first layer of hell, and many high-ranking devils in the army are still secretly loyal to Zariel, so they don't dare to put such an important force on the trading table.
After all, although it is very important to complete the transformation from grand commander to lord, if you are ousted from power because of this, it will be too much to lose. He didn't want to be imprisoned like Zariel now, tortured and whipped every now and then.
Henry smiled and shook his head: "No, you misunderstood, I am not very interested in this army itself, but in those officers inside. If you can provide me with twenty elites, then I'll give you some pretty useful builds. Remember, these twenty people must be completely transferred to me from body to soul, including those soul contracts in your hands. ”
Since the last conflict with Yin Ghost City, he found that he still had too little power on the surface, and it was easy for those evil camp guys to take advantage of the loopholes, so he had always wanted to build an elite escort team to protect the safety of his family.
You must know that the mortals who are qualified to come to participate in the bloody battle are usually extraordinary, basically the lowest professional level is above the fifth level, and there are countless between the tenth and fifteenth levels, just enough to get a few and bring them back.
Anyway, most of the guys who can join the devil's camp are in the orderly camp, and their obedience is absolutely impeccable, and they have rich combat experience, so they are the best candidates to serve as guards.
Baier's two eyes glowing with evil light rolled in his sockets for a long time, as if weighing the pros and cons, and after a full minute, he sighed slightly: "Okay, I will prepare twenty elites with an average career level of about fifteen for you, and at the same time, I will also transfer their soul contracts to you, but it is better to draw up a contract before that......" (To be continued......
