Crown of Chaos

The inclusion of Asdalen proved to be an unexpected blessing during the journey.

The cruelty and greed shown by Morgan shows why this once big capitalist and now the big devil can be so easily favored by Maman, how they became a world-famous big businessman in Gray Eagle Tianyu, and how How he lost to Maman because of greed, and how he was so obsessed with an unpaid payment that he gradually recalled his past as a mortal, and finally decided to escape from hell.

"Ku Yi, this vampire, I will bear the responsibility." Morgan decided on Asdalen's treatment lightly: "He is the best gift. We use him to donate to Six Fingers, and Six Fingers will definitely be satisfied."

In this way, Morgan temporarily adjusted his goal and changed the gift to Asdalen. He happily told Asdalen that they could take Asdalen out of hell, provided that he would act with them next.

Sure enough, the Prince of Darkness did not deceive me!

The extremely excited Asdalen agreed to the proposal and signed a document filled with hell words. Before signing, the smart Asdalen repeatedly checked the devil's contract and thought hard. Find loopholes in the contract and wait until he feels everything is OK before signing.

Morgan laughed at Asdalen's actions.

The promise to take him out of hell was true.

The promise to send him back to Baldur's Gate when everything is over is also true.

The real problem lies in the provision of the regulations that “requires companionship for a period of time and provides services equivalent to paying the ransom to the employer.”

Asdalen understands service as service he provides both as a Slaanesh warrior and in his former role as a bartender.

Morgan understands that the service is a service given to Six Fingers as a gift. As for the safety of Asdalen, Morgan does not guarantee it. As the regulations emphasize, "The employer will provide the best possible protection, but the employed party should pay attention to himself." personal safety and take responsibility for their own lives.”

No one can play tricks on the devil.

As for why Morgan was honest with Aaron, the reason is simple.

Ordinary devil's contract transaction, profit 10 times.

The profit from astral trade between planes can be 100 times.

So what is the profit from going to the bottomless abyss to rescue Watkins?

The answer is countless, so Morgan wouldn't try to trick Aaron because Watkins would know.

After sending Asdalen to rest, Aaron and others officially dined in Hell's Paradise City.

As mentioned before, Avernus is a place of pain. Here, creatures on the non-lawful evil side will feel the power of repulsion and pain. The farther the alignment is, the stronger the repulsion will be. It is always dry and sore, the eyes are always dry and swollen, the mouth is always bitter and salty, no matter how the water enters Avernus, it will turn into hard and bitter bitter water, and all food will also become bitter. Tasteless.

At this time, only a few places such as Hell's Paradise City can still provide guests from afar with a sumptuous and delicious meal. The food here is different from the food in hell. It is very delicious and delicious, which is difficult for guests who come to hell for activities. Say no to the temptation.

Hell's Paradise City also provides spa services and higher-level magic services, including but not limited to full-body restoration, advanced resurrection and even life-extending magic. The business lords offer extremely high prices for travelers to choose from, and The act of not knowing day and night in the City of Elysium and not proactively providing bills is enough for many mortals to overestimate their wallets, and eventually become slaves because they cannot pay the bills, or even sacrifice their souls.

But if you meet a rich devil like Morgan, Hell's Paradise City will only accept all the rewards, happily see the guests off and enthusiastically say come back next time.

After enjoying a sumptuous meal, Nestia, Anomin and Samir, who were extremely tired due to the oppression of the law, went to have a rest under the guidance of the waiter. Morgan was at the bar with an Obilismo on the River Styx. The devil discussed how the Styx ferry business has been lately.

Aaron didn't eat, so he called Mahathir and asked him to prepare a "banquet of the highest level." After paying 10 soul coins, he sat in the box and waited for someone. Visitors.

Hell's Paradise City is essentially a demi-plane. Although it is very close to hell, it is not the main prison of hell after all. Therefore, many guests who want to trade with hell devils but do not want to enter hell will meet their transaction partners here. meet.

After waiting for a while, the guest came.

This huge devil is covered in crimson scales, with a pair of huge bat-like wings extending from its back. Green venom continued to drip from his mouth, falling to the ground and stirring up bursts of smoke. Around his waist was a belt hanging with 12 screaming angel heads. There was no doubt that these heads had been severed by the great flaming sword held tightly in clawed hands.

The big devil stepped forward furiously and cruelly. He looked around the halls of Hell's Paradise City, and finally set his sights on Aaron.

"I have seen you." The big devil slowly came to Aaron: "You are the guy who killed Manakorn, the son of Benn, Aaron Salian, I have heard your name."

"It's a great honor for you to come here in person, Avernus's predecessor~~The Devil Archduke, Your Excellency Bayer." Aaron stood up gracefully and saluted the Arch Devil.

Bair, the former Demon Archduke of Avernus, the current wandering Arch Demon, and the former alliance partner of Manakorn, the son of Bane.

The title "former Grand Duke of Avernus" quickly stung Bayer's nerves. The big devil roared several times in annoyance, and the deep hellfire eyes burned with bone-chilling hatred and murderous intent, which flashed away.

Bayer deliberately showed such an expression in front of Aaron, and the two sides immediately looked at each other. The eight-pointed star of chaos flashed in Aaron's sky-blue eyes, Tzeentch's sparks flashed, and the ever-changing demon Lord Aaron appeared in Bayer's eyes. before.

Bayer's expression was calm, and every corner of the wandering devil's eyes was filled with cruelty and cunning, but with a hint of curiosity.

After receiving the news of Aaron's anonymous invitation to meet, Bayer's first reaction was to refuse.

If you tell me to go, I will go? Are you the Lord of Nine Hells? Although I, Bayer, am not the Grand Duke of Avernus, I am not some cat, dog, or cupcake that I can do whatever I want.

However, as Bayer's sources quickly investigated and found out that the person who sent the anonymous message was Aaron Salian, Bayer immediately decided to attend the meeting.

Bayer was very curious, and the devils were all very curious. Why did a Sullun elect who had a grudge against him personally come to Hell's Paradise City to look for him?

The devil is always curious, greedy and inquisitive.

In response to Bayer's curiosity, Aaron transformed into the All-Changing Demon Lord in front of him.

This made Bayer more curious, and at the same time, the power of the divine spark also made Bayer realize why Manakorn failed and why Aaron had the confidence to meet himself.

From the abyss!

At this time, the waiter served today's dinner.

The recipe for today’s Hell’s Bliss Banquet is:

Appetizers: pickled vine salad, pan-fried mushroom head with garlic butter, spicy shredded mosquito wings.

Main course: grilled piranha with port wine sauce, grilled abyssal boar man, abyssal snake demon crock pot soup, twice-battered axebill meat strips with brandy and plum sauce, deep-fried giant space hamster, with Perfectly flavored with rosemary, basil, thyme and angel tears spices.

Dessert: Spider Eye Preserves with Raspberry Wine Juice, Abyssal Minotaur Cheese Platter, Sweet Cormyr Red Apple Honey Fruit Cut (with a recommendation from the Fire-Haired Lady written in Abyssal language, and a photo of Suni on it).

"Why do you assume that I will cooperate with a Selun elect who has a grudge against me?" Bayer inserted a piece of fried mushroom, and the big devil was really curious: "We were enemies once."

"In my impression, hell only looks at contracts and does not consider friendship and morality." Aaron rolled up some salad with a fork and said with a smile: "Manakorn is dead, will you shed even a drop for his death?" Tears?"

"It seems that you understand the devil very well." Bayer grinned: "But I still can't think of anything we can talk about, unless you are willing to join this war. I have many things to promise you. The only question is , Why do you come to Avernus from the abyss? In order to eliminate the hatred between us, Mahathir’s dinner is not enough.”

"I'm not begging you, Bayer." The All-Changing Demon Lord Aaron made a chirping sound like a demon bird. Under the Holy Emblem of Tzeentch, Bayer's words were unobstructed: "I'm just here to remind you."

"What are you here to remind me of?"

"As the former Grand Duke, the former master of Avernus, you also want Zariel to be finished, and I also want Zariel to be finished. Bayer, aren't we on the same side?" Aaron said with a smile.

"Oh?" Bayer's pupils shrank, and things became interesting: "Can you tell me, why do you want Zarrell to die?"

"Who knows? The only thing I can say is that Zariel's fall has caused displeasure among some gods, and I am here to solve this problem." Aaron whispered: "But there must be an Avner Grand Duke Si, this is the law of hell, right? So I chose you, and we each get what we need."

"Then I have to say, you may have chosen the right person, Aaron Salian." Bayer thought for a moment and smiled cheerfully.

"No one knows Avernus better than me!"

Since then, the two parties have initially reached a cooperation intention and negotiations have begun.

The negotiation lasted for 18 hours. The All-Changing Demon King Aaron and the Great Devil Lord Bayer had a fruitful technical exchange in a luxury box in Hell's Paradise City. The two sides compiled a 180-page human parchment paper. The hell contract carries a total of 999 specific draft agreements, not counting attachments and evidence.

Both Bair and Aaron felt exhausted in this negotiation. The Great Devil and the Son of Chaos used all their wisdom on this agreement. The divine spark of Tzeentch reached its limit. Just the word "should" in a certain regulation , Aaron and Bayer added more than thirty specific explanations afterwards to ensure that every vague description can be answered accurately.

It may be the first time that Bayer has encountered this kind of negotiation opponent. The big devil feels that it is more difficult than ever. The wisdom displayed by Aaron is 100 tarantula miskas higher than Zarrell. Any attempt to explain vaguely and bypass the direct All possible terms were blocked by Aaron.

However, this made Bayer feel Aaron's sincerity, and the other party was indeed here to negotiate.

Eighteen hours later, the hell contract was finally signed, and Aaron and Bayer each signed their names at the end of the hell contract.

The contract takes effect!

Before leaving, Bayer specifically paid for the waiter to bring Aaron a portion of roasted Akon wings with rice and Gugharakai (the finest wine from hell). The big devil shook hands with Aaron tiredly but happily: " This snack set is purely a gift. I swear in the name of the Nine Hells that it does not have any other purpose. I am happy with our negotiations and cooperation. I am very happy that we have been able to complete so many constructive exchanges. I have thousands of I haven’t been so happy this year.”

Aaron raised his eyebrows: "I thought the devil would only feel joy if he successfully coaxed a mortal."

"That's joy on a different level." Bayer laughed: "We love deception, and we also love an evenly matched defense battle in the trial court, where each shows his own special abilities. Do you know what the communication between me and you reflects?"

Possession by the Great Devil: "It shows that Zariel is incompetent."

"So I chose you, Bayer, who is capable and a famous general." Aaron shook hands with Bayer and watched him leave.

Since then, a strange alliance has been forged, in which Aaron and Bair will work together to oust Zariel from the position of Grand Duke.

Bayer left, and Aaron sighed slightly.

As Su Lun Mama’s child, Aaron shouldn’t actually cooperate with Bayer, but just like Ms. Holy Coin who went on a killing spree to save Watkin, Aaron had to do this for Eleanor and the Reverend Miss. An exception was made.

Zariel is the former Seraph Archangel and now the Demon Archduke. Without seeking some external help, Aaron currently has no hope of redeeming her.

Eleanor has an unparalleled status in Aaron's heart. He hopes that Miss Priest will always be radiant, holy and beautiful. If Eleanor is a lush "leaf" on the ground, then he will be the one buried deep underground. The "root" of it.

Eleanor, this is yours!

…………

After a short rest, Aaron and others left the Hell City of Paradise and returned to Avernus, which was desolate, lonely, and smelled of sulfur.

They were about to head to the frontal battlefield of the bloody battle, near the River Styx. Bayer told Aaron that they should have a high chance of seeing Zariel with their own eyes.

“Thank you for your patronage! Welcome to come again next time!”

The business lord Mahathir stood at the door, bent his waist to 90 degrees with the loudest voice and the greatest enthusiasm, and respectfully sent Aaron and his party off.

The hell chariot that identified Aaron and his party disappeared from the end of the field of vision. The enthusiastic expression on Mahathir's face immediately disappeared. He turned around and appeared in front of the throne of Nessus at the end of the Nine Hells.

The business lord revealed his true form, a legendary Rakshasa demon!

"Master, this is a copy of the hell contract between Aaron Salian and Bayer. Please take a look at it."

Asmodeus, the Lord of the Nine Hells on the throne, watched the long parchment spread out and rotate from one side of the hall to the other, his eyes slightly surprised, and he motioned to the Hell Fiend next to him.

The Hell Fiend immediately took out a piece of cloth made of angel leather from his arms, placed the scroll with the parchment head on it, and sent it to the Lord of Nine Hells.

It took Asmodeus a moment to read the contract between Aaron and Bair.

After a long time, the Lord of Nine Hells sighed: "It's simply art."

"Master?" Mahathir tried to ask.

"It is true that you are incompetent...continue your business, Mahathir." A strange smile lingered on the lips of the Lord of Nine Hells.

"Let's see what happens next."
