It's Rickan's voice!

Krylov III frowned and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"I ...... I just want to make a 'small deal' with Your Majesty. 'Estem' laughed, "I won't do anything else." ”

"Making a deal with you?"

Krylov III scoffed: "I'm afraid you're not crazy! I'm a king, and I make a deal with a demon, do you know what will happen to me?"

"No, no, no!"

'Estem' shook his head, "I'm not a demon, I'm a mind snatcher, but I've just become a lord of the abyss. ”

"Don't play dumb! I'm not talking about race!"

In the face of Krylov III's anger, 'Estem' did not react much, and still had a faint smile on his face, but Krylov III could not see it.

The dagger in his hand came closer, allowing Krylov III to feel the bone-chilling coldness of the blade more clearly.

"Of course I know, but your life, Your Majesty, compared to the impact of 'maybe' discovery...... Which one is more important?"

As he spoke, 'Estem' chuckled: "By the way, Your Majesty, I forgot to say one thing - this body is not my incarnation, he is just controlled by me, in fact, the consciousness that controls the body is still his own, and now these words are just what I asked him to pass on to you, that is, the skills he can still use now." I don't know if you know, this is a very powerful wanderer, and a wanderer who can use the advanced skill of [Shadow] is useless no matter where you teleport to. ”

Krylov III was silent, there were not many wanderers who could use [Shadow] and many of the wanderers who were qualified to use this technique had nowhere to learn, he didn't know where Rykan learned this technique, but no matter what, he was now under threat to his life.

For the first time since he was a child, he felt the fragility of life so clearly, and all he needed was a gentle stab of the dagger in Rickan's hand to end his life as a king.

“...... If it weren't for his negligence at the time, I wouldn't have been able to control him!And your other subordinate, the vampire, had already seen that the wanderer was controlled by me, and wanted to do something to him halfway through, but the vampire was so weak that the wanderer defeated him in two or three strokes, and then of course he was controlled by me— Ah, I'm so sorry, the bottomless abyss is so boring, even the Mind Flayer can feel bored, and I've said so much without paying attention, now let's get down to business, okay? ”

'Estem' smiled happily, "Just now, I saw a lot of things in that vampire's memory that shouldn't be seen, and if you let those things out, it would be enough to ruin you, even if you cooperate with me, you will only bear one more charge, 'don't you have to worry about debts', isn't there a saying among humans that says so? ”

“...... What do you want to do?"

After a long silence, Krylov III suddenly asked in a low voice: "Do you want my 'soul'?" or do you want to control the country?"

'Estem' was visibly stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Why do you think that?"

Hearing this chuckle, Krylov III's face instantly turned hideous, for he sensed contempt in this laughter—the power he longed for, craved, and the 'soul' that made him proud, seemed to be worthless in the eyes of this demon lord!

But 'Estem' didn't sense that something was wrong with Krylov III, "I said, I just want to make a 'small deal', and mortal power is useless to me. Isn't your country about to start a civil war, Your Majesty, and those damned nobles have corrupted your country and made it what it is, all because of their greed, isn't it?"

"What do you want to do?" said Krylov III, gritting his teeth.

"I can help you, my majesty......"

'Estem' whispered in the ear of Krylov III: "I can help you win this war, and the reward ...... It is the souls of those who died in this civil war......"

Krylov III's face instantly turned ugly, "Are you trying to take the souls of the dead from the hands of death?

"Of course I do. 'Estem' shook his head, "But what I'm going to do is not 'take', it's 'steal'." When the soul enters the underworld from the River Styx, it will be stolen by the abyssal blood pool when it circulates the bottomless abyss, and I have only bypassed this step now. ”

"My Majesty, I am sure you also know that this is a war without justice, and that there is no justice or glory for the warriors who die in this war, and that the souls of those who are left to the underworld or left behind as undead creatures, except for some fanatics who will be led by the gods. And I, I can solve this trouble for you in advance!"

'Estem' continued to bewitch Krylov III, "I don't need fragile souls, those souls who are left behind and don't want to go to the underworld are exactly what I want, as a king on earth, you don't need souls, and those souls wandering on the battlefield will cause you trouble, if we cooperate, wouldn't it be a win-win?"

The look of struggle in Krylov III's eyes gradually faded, "This is a soul stealing ......"

"Don't worry, my majesty, I won't let anyone know......"

'Estem' added another weight to the balance in Krylov III's heart, "If you have my help, you will be victorious! Think about it, I am a well-known 'mind master' in the bottomless abyss, I can control those nobles, and I can guarantee that I can not miss the slightest flaw, didn't I play well when I replaced the Marquis of Lesinger before?"

"All I need is a few souls you don't need, and the victory you desire does not conflict with my purpose, if you can cooperate with me, you will be able to clean up this rotten and filthy kingdom......"

"What are your intentions?"

Krylov III had completely calmed down and began to think about the matter with the mind of a king.

For him, this is not an unacceptable thing.

As 'Estem' said, he doesn't need a 'soul', as the king of this kingdom, as one of the initiators of this civil war, all he wants is victory.

With victory, he will be able to re-establish a mighty kingdom, his reign will go down in history, and his name will be sung by posterity – just like 'Krylov I'!

There have never been many such dirty things throughout the ages, and as long as they are not discovered, they are still a 'great king'.

I've already committed enough sins, so why not add more?

Krylov III took a deep breath, "Can you do me a favor before we work together?"

'Estem' was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, do you agree?"

"I have to see your sincerity!" Krylov III accentuated the word 'sincerity'.

"I'm sincere, Your Majesty!"

'Estem' controlled Rykan put down the dagger and walked to the desk, "You see, I didn't come to see you with my real body, as long as you still have that necklace on you, and my real body doesn't appear in front of you, you don't have to worry about being controlled by me, am I not sincere enough?"

Krylov III gritted his teeth secretly, "That's not what I'm going to say, there is a high-level devil in Greenland, I hope you can help me get rid of it!"

'Estem' was stunned.

Then He began to laugh so much that tears came out of His eyes.

"I see...... I see!"

'Estem' gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty! I will definitely kill it! I will leave it with no ashes!"

He understood, He had understood why His plan had been broken one after another......

He had been calculated from the beginning!
