For Thaddeus, what happened today was beyond his expectations.

The Black Knight Cang Gor is the puppet he has supported all the way, and he can be regarded as the spokesperson of the Extremely Evil Hell in Fernan.

Thaddeus has a firm grip on the Black Knight's soul, so he can get the Black Knight to come forward and do things that he can't do on his own.

For example, debt collection.

Thaddeus will never forget the scene when he came to the door to ask for payment, only to be humiliated by the Blood Emperor and almost beaten to death—it was a moment of great celebration for the entire underground empire, and countless pairs of eyes watched it. He had expected the Bloody Emperor to keep the devil's pact, but the tyrannical king had made a shocking move.

He thoroughly Hell.

But over the years, Thaddeus has been most confused by the Emperor's means of evading the contract.

Today he ordered the Black Knight to go to the tomb of the Emperor, and he also had this intention in mind.

But it backfired.

At the moment when the Black Knight's body was shattered, Thaddeus, as the controller of his soul, sensed it.

He immediately narrowed his eyes.

The Black Knight was not surprised that he was dead, proving that the hateful liar had a back hand.

It's a big deal, just change a few more puppets and go to the tomb to try.

However, when Marven walked out of the tomb with the three of them safely, Thaddeus finally couldn't control his emotions!

"How is that possible?"

"This guy actually succeeded?"

"Cang Geor has the Book of Naru in his hand, and the contract backup I gave him, even if he can't fight the Heroic Spirit. At least you can get out of it all the way...... Do you say ......"

The Black Knight was killed by Marvin?

The news is a bit hard to accept.

In Thaddeus's opinion, Marven is not bad though. But strength is not necessarily high. There are too many miscellaneous things on him, and the devil, who has always been based on blood, is very disdainful of people like Marven who come from all over the world.

He didn't believe the Black Knight would lose to Marven.

However, the reality lies ahead.

Marven didn't even look at him more. He directly took out the petrified heart and slowly handed it to the black hand.

The latter smiled and was just about to pick it up.

Who knew that at this time, Thaddeus suddenly reacted and shouted loudly: "Mr. Marven! ”

"Please wait!"

Marven showed a hint of a smile: "What's the matter, Your Excellency Thaddeus." ”

Thaddeus chuckled, temporarily putting the shock and disbelief behind him.

He is a very realistic person.

He saw Marven get the petrified heart - there was only one possibility, and he had perfectly captured the Bloody Emperor's Heroic Spirit.

The Blood Emperor is more than just hatred for Thaddeus. And there is also a very crucial and hidden meaning: for the devil of the nine-layer purgatory, no matter how many excuses Thaddeus has, he is the devil who has been deceived by humans for the first time - this is a great humiliation.

He is an ambitious man, and the Lord of Extreme Evil was seriously injured in the battle for the Tablet of Destiny in the Third Age, and he is now almost at the end of his power.

All of the people of the Worst Hell are silently coveting the declining figure on the throne.

Thaddeus, as his second son, is naturally the same.

It's just that at the moment, his approval rating in the Worst of Evils is not very high.

With the wrist and strength of Saidis, other problems can naturally be solved, but the matter of being deceived by the Blood Emperor is the only one. It can never be erased lightly.

To inherit that throne and the power within, he must wash away his humiliation!

In other words, his pact with the Bloody Emperor is bound to be won!

He has to get the soul of that liar, it's vital to him!

……

In such a situation. Even if his relationship with Marven was not particularly harmonious before, he suddenly had a big change in attitude.

With a smile on his face, he leaned in, "I'm willing to pay a high price for the contract stone you got from the corpse of the Bloody Emperor." ”

Marven raised an eyebrow. Pretending to show a hint of memory:

"Stones? What stone? Is this the piece? ”

"But this petrified heart is predestined for Scorched Earth Purgatory. This is also an important bargaining chip for them to take me into Devil's Town. ”

I have to say that Marven's acting skills are very realistic.

He wasn't a whim. After all, with his knowledge of the devil, he would naturally understand Thaddeus's thirst for stone contracts.

But I'm sorry, Marven can't give it to him.

The stone contract is the key to Marven's fulfillment of the Emperor's Heroic Spirit's entrustment, and only by putting that stone into the hands of Butterfly can he fully gain the approval of Sodom's Blade.

At the same time, maybe he can also learn the secrets of the underground empire back then.

So he had long been prepared how to hide from Thaddeus.

Seeing that Marven's expression didn't seem to be fake, Thaddeus could only frown: "No stones?" ”

Marven simply spread his hands: "There are no stones." ”

Thaddeus sighed, and suddenly whispered, "Since that's the case, forget it." I'm amazed by your performance, you know it's a heroic spirit, you not only survived, but you also got a lot of benefits from him - don't be in a hurry to deny it, I feel the murder weapon. It's a shame to have no stones, but I'm a very trustworthy devil. ”

"If one day—I say hypothetical, suppose one day, you suddenly remember that you got a certain stone in this adventure, please contact me."

"I'll pay a high price—a price you can't imagine, and friendship from the Worst of Evils."

After saying this, Thaddeus's figure slowly disappeared in front of Marven.

A pitch-black rune landed in Marven's palm.

Marven checked the runes and put them away properly.

Although Thaddeus is definitely not a good person, but with multiple friends and many paths, in this era, no one can guarantee that he will always be smooth sailing.

Maybe one day, you can really use this black rune?

After Thaddeus left, the rest of the people were visibly relieved.

The coercion of high-level devils is still very strong. Even though this is a hands-on Devil's Town.

Marven handed over the petrified heart to the black hand, and the commission between the two parties was completed, and the black hand simply chose to leave.

Similarly, Scorched Earth Purgatory has left a new way to connect.

Marven looked at the pitch-black rune and a blood-red stone in his storage space, thoughtful.

The biggest takeaway from this trip, apart from the Blade of Sodom and the Book of Naru, is probably these two things.

These two things represent the will of the two planes of the Nine Layers of Purgatory.

In the complex and changeable Fernan's pattern in the future, these two things will come in handy sooner or later.

Marvin is convinced of this.

……

After leaving Devil's City, Marven parted ways with the other three.

The trio will follow the path they had come, crossing a tunnel to reach the other side, and at the same time leave the Dark Regions and head to the White River Valley, at the mercy of Medirri.

Marvin himself, on the other hand, followed a rough road all the way to the west.

"It's time to visit the witch's traitor."

He smiled as he looked at the endless swamp.
