Chapter 663: The Fifth Slate
And it turned out that Jenn's hunch was correct.
"You want to set up a chamber of commerce in Passus?"
Hearing Stefal's request, Jenn was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Miss Stefael, but I can't accede to your request. Of course, I know that you are very capable of this, and I believe that I can make a lot of money from it, but I'm sorry, I've found a suitable collaborator, so I can't say yes to your request. ”
What are you kidding, who in the whole lower world doesn't know that this succubus lady is famous for the chamber of commerce, wherever the harem is built, Jenn asked himself that in such a poor and remote place as Passus, the best resources are basically concentrated in his own hands. If Stefar had set up a chamber of commerce in Passus, wouldn't that be tantamount to stealing food from his own pot? Even if you can't digest it at home, you'd rather eat what is in the bowl and watch what is in the pot than the fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders.
"It's a shame........."
Hearing Jenn's reply, Stefar sighed, but the next moment, she smiled again and looked at Jenn.
"So, let's make another deal."
"I don't think I received the payment for the last transaction?"
As he spoke, Jenn glanced at Stefal and asked rhetorically, clearly meaningful. And Stefal's face was obviously thicker than Jenn had imagined, so she smiled slightly, completely ignoring the words, and continued to talk to herself.
"I can help you solve one of your biggest headaches, but in return, I want you to grant me a request, how about it? My lord, I don't think I'm asking too much. ”
"What's my biggest headache right now?"
Hear here. Jenn frowned. To be honest, at this moment, even Jenn himself didn't know what his biggest headache was. Holy Country Seth? That's a scum with less than five combat strength, and it's not worth mentioning at all. And what about other than that? Klein? Klein was a hindrance, but Jenn didn't trust Stefal to help him get Klein out. Although this eldest lady is not as notorious as the other demons in the lower realm, she is also notoriously difficult to deal with. So. What exactly is the deal she is talking about?
Although he was a little wary of Stefael's intentions, Jenn did not treat her like a great enemy. There are two reasons for this, first of all, this succubus princess is still very principled. Unless Jenn threatens her safety, she won't just liberate the "true love" in other people's hearts. So Jenn wasn't worried that she would come to her own trouble if she didn't agree with her. Secondly, Stefal and Lilicia's relationship is quite poor, and as the daughter of the Succubus Queen, it is naturally impossible for them to have any friendly relationship. Not to mention that Jenn already knew that his sister Bichi had already attacked Stefal more than once, and Stefal was not a fuel-efficient lamp. More than once, he defeated the conspiracy of that sister Bichi.
Out of the belief that the enemy of his enemy is a friend, he and Stefal were still on the same side against Lilicia, and Jenn never minded being a traitor and betraying his sister to Stefal - it wasn't the first time he had done such a thing.
However, before Jenn could think about it any more, Stefal's next sentence immediately caught his attention.
"I can tell you the whereabouts of the last piece of the puzzle you want."
Hearing this, Jenn's expression changed slightly, and then he immediately raised his head. stared at the girl in front of him seriously. However, Stefal still just looked at Jenn with a grin. There was no reaction to this. However, in the face of such a Stefal, Jenn felt more and more weird. Although Stefal's words were very vague, he still immediately understood what the other party meant—the Tablet of Destiny.
There are five tablets of destiny, three of which Jenn now has in his hands, and the tower of the Holy White has a fourth, but the whereabouts of the last tablet of destiny are unknown. And now this eldest lady, who is quite famous in the lower realm, has come here in person. And tell him that he knows the whereabouts of the fifth tablet of fate............... What is this unfolding?
"I don't know what you're talking about, Miss Stefal."
As he spoke, Jenn glanced around, and only Enoa stood in the distance, working with the messenger sent by Colencia to finalize the confirmation and handover of the goods. And the others have already been taken to the guest room by the big goblins to rest at this time. The already empty hall was not even more human.
Although he guessed the implicit meaning of Stefael's words, Jenn still didn't respond immediately. It's really too important for the Tablet of Fate, and he can't figure out why this Miss Stepfar came to Passus in person this time, why would she tell him about it, could it be that she is a helpful worker? Of course not, Stefal personally told him before that this is a transaction, so as a party to the transaction, he naturally needs to pay. However, Jenn wasn't sure if it was worth it. And......... Who can prove that what Stefal says is necessarily true?
As a demon, lying is a necessary skill.
"It's a shame..............."
Stefal wasn't surprised by Jenn's answer, and still looked at him with a grin.
"I can also guess that the lord will not agree so easily, and now it seems that you are still as shrewd as before. In fact, not only do I know that you want to assemble five pieces of the puzzle to summon the Egyptian Archmage, but I also know why you want these five pieces of the puzzle. Since the lord is so wary of me, I don't mind showing some sincerity a little......... I think that if the lord listened to my request, he would understand what I meant. ”
At this, Stefal paused, and then she looked at Jenn.
"When the lord's plan is complete, I need to borrow the human head of the True Eye."
Hearing Stefal's words, Jenn suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Although on the surface, Stefal's words were not related to what she had said before, Jenn immediately understood the implicit meaning of her words, and it was obvious that Stefar not only knew that Jenn was collecting the Tablet of Destiny, but also knew that he was collecting the Tablet of Destiny for the arrival of the Sage, and only after the arrival of the Sage could she have a way to obtain the head of Thom, the True Eye. And if Stefal took this as a condition of the deal, then it was naturally impossible for her to give Jenn false information. But the question is, how does she know that she has the Tablet of Destiny in her hands?
Although Stefal, as one of the three big bosses of the Curry Gaine Chamber of Commerce, is indeed excellent at intelligence gathering, Jenn asked himself that he had always done it quite secretively, and that everything was done under his nose. And the participants are all their own subordinates, they are all summons, and there is no possibility of leaking secrets. Jenn himself had never mentioned the Tablet of Destiny in front of Claris, so where did Stepal learn about his possession of the Tablet of Destiny?
Stefal wasn't a fool, in fact, she had already guessed Jenn's thoughts when she saw Jenn's expression change slightly. Therefore, in the face of Jenn's doubts, Stefar also immediately explained.
"I'm good friends with Sayo."
I see.
Hearing this, Jenn was silent on the surface, but deep down he nodded. Of course, he knew that the little night in Stefal's mouth was the goddess of the night. After all, this eldest lady likes girls the most, and the female gods of the lower realm have basically dealt with her. And it's not a matter of a day or two that the Goddess of the Night and Stefal have a good relationship, if this matter leaked out from the Goddess of the Night, then it is really possible. After all, the second tablet of fate in Jenn's hand was given to him by the Goddess of the Night, and judging from the Goddess of Night's previous performance, she obviously intended to guide Jenn on this path. And now that he had received this news from Stefael, Jenn was sure that the Goddess of Night must have made a big plan around the arrival of the Sage, and he had unknowingly become the early executor of this plan. And it is very likely that Stefal is working with the Goddess of the Night, and even listening to her words, it is possible that this plan was made by Stefal and the Goddess of the Night together. Otherwise, why would Stefal come to tell him the news of the fifth tablet instead of the Goddess of the Night? After all, the goddess of the night is more familiar with him, and she has also given him a tablet of fate before, if the goddess of the night knows the news, then she will definitely not hide it from him.
But now that Stefal is here, it shows that she is deeply involved in this project. Truth be told, Jenn had no clue what Stefal wanted. She has been through the Demon King Ritual for hundreds of years, and her strength is considered top at the level of the Demon King's Son. Jenn can be sure that if Stefal becomes a god now, then at least he will be at the same level as Rose. But Stefal clearly has no interest in this, so what exactly is she involved in?
Now, if nothing else, this one seems to have a grudge against the True Eye.
Thinking of this, Jenn no longer hesitated, and immediately spoke.
"And Miss Stefael, tell me, where is the last piece of the puzzle that was lost?"
"It's a simple answer, but you can't think of it."
Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Stefal smiled slightly playfully for the first time.
"Actually, the slate is in Klein's hands."
