The Demon’s Menu

In the evening, Hoffcroft was holding an exquisite porcelain teacup and sipping fine black tea. On the coffee table in front of him, there was a three-tiered pastry tower. The top layer was cookies, the middle was puffs and egg tarts, and finally The first layer is strawberry, mango and blueberry cake.

An old man with luxurious clothes and gray hair and beard was raising his hand to pick up a cookie.

"I'm getting older, and sometimes it's really powerless."

"The former royal doctor advised me to eat less sweets."

"But... if you can't even eat sweets, what's the point of living longer?"

The old man said plausibly while eating.

"At least there is hope to live."

Hofkrow considered the words.

Although he made up his mind to run away, at this time, he couldn't reveal his flaws.

After all, the old man in front of him, although he looks nice and friendly, is one of the veterans in their organization—moreover, he is...the sixth-order ‘tombkeeper’!

‘Ghost Manipulator’!

Different from the fifth-order ‘skeleton blasphemer’, the sixth-order ‘ghost manipulator’ is even more bizarre.

It even possesses the ‘cursing power’ that other professionals can’t avoid.

Hofkro has never seen the'power of the curse' in the true sense.

However, he has seen people cursed by the'power of the curse'.

One day ago, he was still a young man in his early twenties, but a day later, he became a gray-haired old man who couldn't stand up.

That young man died of old age in the end.

And the reason?

Naturally, it was because of offending the sixth-order ‘gravekeeper’ Gista.

How did it offend?

Hoffcroft didn't know.

But he doesn't want to be the next victim of the'Power of the Curse'.

Therefore, he is careful and cautious.

"The deal with that Jason went well."

"As you might expect, his hatred of the'shepherd' is beyond imagination."

Hoffcroft said.

"The'Night Watcher' is always the most difficult guy. A group of seemingly ruthless guys who are completely bound by'family affection' and'friendship'. When someone tramples on their'family affection' and'friendship', naturally They will suffer their most terrifying revenge."

"Do you know the rumor that a certain demon hunter master in the'Night Watch' hurt his disciple because of someone, and then caused the whole family of the other party to be uprooted?"

Gista picked up a piece of strawberry cake, and after taking a bite, he ignored the cream on the corner of his mouth and asked directly.

"I heard it before."

"It seems to be in East Walker."

"The guy who got into the'Night Watcher' originally colluded with some monsters and did some shameful deeds."

Hofkro recalled.

"Yes, shameful deeds."

Gista swallowed the remaining strawberry cake in one bite, and then looked at Hoffcroft.

The eyes of this Tier 6'Gravekeeper' are sharp but solemn.

This made Hoffcroft's heart stunned.

He thought his mind was discovered.

But then Gista said.

"The same goes for the'Gravekeeper'."

"Whenever someone mentions the'Gravekeeper,' everyone has a look of hostility."

"Why is this?"

"Are we the one who is wrong?"

"No."

"The world is too harsh on us."

"Our abilities are too different for them, so we have this kind of treatment-I still remember to this day, the girl I used to like because I knew that I was a'gravekeeper', and I decided to break up with me. appearance."

"From then on, I made up my mind."

"I want to change the world."

"Change those people's stereotyped impressions of the'Gravekeeper'."

"And it's too difficult!"

"It was so difficult that I went from a Tier 1'Grave Keeper' to Tier 6'Grave Keeper' without any effect. At that time, I began to think-when the power can't reverse everything, am I right? Did you choose the wrong direction?"

"In the end, I'm sure."

"I was too hasty."

"I should not change the whole world right away, but should change a country."

"Start with this country, and then change the whole world."

Gista said slowly.

From beginning to end, the elder's sight was on Hofkro's body.

The advisor to West Walker VII was holding back his panic.

Such remarks, he has heard the old man say more than once.

However, the reason is never known.

right now?

Got it.

But an inexplicable sense of danger made him dare not breathe.

He didn't know where this sense of danger came from.

I don't know why Gista told him this.

Fortunately, Gista looked back soon.

"So, I don't want surprises in my plan."

"If there is any accident."

"I will kill them all."

After Gista finished speaking, he raised his hand.

Ripples appeared in the void.

A translucent figure appeared in front of Hoffcroft.

Contract undead!

In this regard, Hoffcroft, who is a Tier 4 ‘Tomb Keeper’, is naturally familiar.

However, when he saw the face of the undead clearly, Hofcroft was surprised.

"Yes Yes…"

The former adviser of West Walker VII wanted to say something, but suddenly a force appeared on his neck, and the force he couldn't resist pinched his words back.

More importantly, his power.

The power originating from the ‘Tomb Keeper’ was imprisoned.

An invisible force suppressed his power.

then-

Come on!

Hoffcroft's neck was twisted.

Losing the power of the Tier 4'Gravekeeper', Hofkroe had no resistance at all.

Twisting Hoffcroft's neck at this time is no more difficult than twisting a chicken's neck.

Gista shook his hand.

"It's really old."

"You still need gestures."

"When I was young, one look was enough for me."

Gista said such words, turned his head and looked at the undead contracted in front of him, showing a smile.

"You mean...'shepherd'?"

'shepherd'!

That's right!

It's the ‘shepherd’!

What appeared here was the ‘shepherd’ who had been hunted by ‘Dan’ and nearly destroyed Lorde in secret!

At this moment, the undead ‘shepherd’ looked at Gista respectfully.

When he heard the question, the ‘shepherd’ bowed.

"My lord, your strength is still unmatched. Now you are just distracted by some trivial matters."

Said the ‘shepherd’.

It should have been a flattering tone, but under the serious words of the ‘shepherd’, it appeared extremely sincere.

Gista smiled and waved, and picked up an egg tart.

"OK OK."

"Go and do your thing."

"Although I don't want to admit it, what the doctor said is reasonable. After I have eaten these, I will go around-try to take 10,000 steps while sleeping."

As Gista said, he shrugged, as if he knew what was good for him.

Such a Gista looked no different from an elderly man.

If not standing in front of an undead.

And the words that the corpse is slowly standing up.

…

Wheel, wheel!

Hofkro was sitting in the carriage.

The driver was one of his entourages, and the other entourage was sitting next to the driver. Both of them were ‘mysterious side persons’ who had undergone a ‘mystery baptism’. Not only were they strong in body, they were also very vigilant.

But no matter how vigilant the two entourages were, they couldn't expect that Hofkroo, who was working in the carriage, was dead.

Hoffcroft didn't think of it himself.

It's as if he didn't expect the'Shepherd' to be Gista's contract undead.

"If the'shepherd' is the undead of Gista, everything before?"

"Layout? Trap?"

"But who are these for?"

Hoffcrom thought, but after becoming a corpse, his thoughts were obviously a little sluggish.

Some obvious answers are still unclear.

and…

He is rotting.

Hoffcroft rolled up his sleeves, already clearly seeing the corpse spots on his arms.

According to the current appearance, it is estimated that his real death period will be after dawn.

Of course, the body died.

soul?

Estimated to be enslaved by Gista.

Do not!

Gista should look down on him.

His only role now is to give the "Helke Potions" in his hand to Jason, and then?

Waiting for death quietly.

Revolt?

impossible.

He, who was also contracted, couldn't resist Gista at all now.

after that?

It's impossible.

The strength of the opponent has exceeded his imagination.

"Sixth order?"

"So strong?"

"But this kind of power... is not like the power of the'Gravekeeper'."

Hoffcroft thought subconsciously.

Then he laughed bitterly.

He is dying, why do he even think about this?

However, he had to think again.

Because the feeling of waiting quietly for death is really uncomfortable.

That kind of powerlessness, that kind of despair permeated.

Let him suffocate completely.

Hoffcroft knew that this was Gista's punishment for him.

Want to escape punishment.

"Did those guys know the power of Gista a long time ago? That's why they didn't behave like a'gravekeeper' at all?"

"Or those guys are just guessing, not sure."

"then…"

"I just jumped out?"

Hoffcroft gradually recovered from the incident of the assassination of West Walker VII at this time.

He began to discover some abnormalities in the organization after the assassination incident.

Some things are abnormal.

Some people's abnormalities.

seem…

Has it been expected?

What's more, did it add to the flames?

It was as if he was discussing the ‘next step strategy for East Walker’ with King West Walker VII in the study that night, but because of the conflict with Prince Ruitai during the day, he had to cultivate temporarily.

Therefore, Seawalk VII was alone in the study that night.

and many more!

Prince Ruitai?

Suddenly, Hoffcroft thought of something.

Suddenly, this Westwalker VII consultant's eyes widened.

Could it be!

Could it be!

A bold guess appeared in his mind, but he couldn't say it at all.

The power of the contract limited him!

But this also made him more sure that his guess was correct!

Hoffcroft leaned back in the seat with a wry smile.

"If I were alive at this time, I must have been sweating cold all over."

"And now?"

"I can only sit and watch the theater."

That's right, it's just watching the show.

Although, he is one of the actors.

Zhenglishu Street is getting closer.

A figure gradually formed in the shadows, and he walked out slowly, carrying that strange ballad—

"Hush!"

"Night, night, here comes."

"The black lamb is dancing."

"He's coming, he's coming."

"Hurry up and go to bed."

"Hurry up and go to bed."

The sound of the song was mixed with brisk whistle, and the two followers in front of the car immediately looked at the people who appeared in front of them vigilantly, and one of them simply took out the revolver.

But it's useless.

Invisible power enveloped them.

The two strong followers then quickly dried up like deflated balloons.

By the time Hofcroft got out of the carriage, the two had already withered.

In this regard, Hofkro turned a blind eye.

He paid a high salary and naturally took risks.

Both of them understand this: Salary is life money.

How can anyone enjoy life with a high salary?

"What do you want to do?"

Hoffcroft lowered his voice and questioned the "shepherd".

This is the restriction of the contract.

It directly affected his body.

Therefore, he looks business as usual.

"Give me the'Helke Potions.'"

The voice of the'shepherd', who was wearing a large cloak and completely covering his face, said briskly.

"Do you know what it represents?"

Hofkrowe frightened the ‘shepherd’.

"That's a lucky'night watchman' kid!"

"Are you'cemetery guards' already cowardly enough to need shelter from'night watchers'?"

‘Shepherd’ chuckled softly.

"Not asylum, just cooperation!"

Hoffcroft emphasized.

"Well, cooperation...then you can go to death!"

When the voice fell, the ‘shepherd’ disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already standing behind Hofkrow, and his raised palm was about to be inserted into Hofkrow's vest, but he was grasped by a strong palm.

Yes, Jason.

I don't know when, Jason appeared here.

He grabbed the ‘shepherd’ by the wrist and stared at him coldly.

"Hi, long time no see!"

The ‘shepherd’ said hello.

Jason responded with a punch.

boom!

boom!

After the muffled sound, the body of the ‘shepherd’ burst directly.

A lot of flesh and blood spread out.

Then, it turned into a foul-smelling soil.

Jason frowned and listened carefully. When there was no sign of the Shepherd, he looked at Hoffcroft.

"Thank you, Lord Jason."

"The'Shepherd' is far more cunning and cautious than imagined."

"His secret technique should only be able to cover the [hunting] effect for a while. In order not to be overtaken by your teacher, he should now be hidden again. However, you must be careful, as long as the'Herke Potion' is in your In the hands, he will definitely make a comeback."

Hoffcroft looked grateful and said with a reminder.

Jason nodded, and took the box from Hoffcroft.

"Then I will leave first."

"If you have any needs, please come to me directly."

"Anyone from the royal family can help you find me."

Hoffcroft bowed as he spoke, then turned and left.

And Jason?

It is faster than Hofkrow.

After getting the'Helke Potion', the figure disappeared.

In this regard, Hoffcroft did not have any surprises.

After all, everything is in Gista's plan.

Including Jason's reaction.

Including his death.

It is estimated that someone will replace him soon, right?

No, not very fast.

It was after dawn. U U Reading www.uukａnshu.com

Hof Kromah walked down the streets of Telt at night. Under the power of the contract, he opened a sewer manhole cover and stepped into it.

"Death? Make me like a mouse in the gutter?"

Hoffcroft understood this very quickly.

He was very angry.

But unable to resist.

Can only curse this Gista from the bottom of my heart time and time again.

then…

Watching himself slowly decay.

In terms of the strength of the contract, the pain was strengthened by more than ten times, so much so that Hoffcroft wailed again and again.

But it's useless.

In the depths of the ground, no one could hear his wailing.

All there is is a cross flow of sewage.

All there are mice staring at the miserable green light.

Gradually, Hofkro's voice became smaller and smaller, and the area of ​​his body decayed more than half.

Those mice are leaning over.

"Go away! Go away!"

Hoffcroft shouted loudly.

He cannot accept death.

It is even more unacceptable to be eaten by rats when you are still alive.

But obviously, these gathered mice are not afraid of a dying person.

They gather more and more.

They swarmed.

Hofkrow died in a way he couldn't even imagine.

The power of contractual restrictions disappeared.

But more violent power is brewing in it.

Relying on the powerful spirit, Hofkro turned into a ghost. It floated in the air, feeling the soul that was about to explode. It was very clear that Gista would not give it a chance.

It will really die soon.

However, before that, it has to kill these mice!

Hoffcroft looked down at the rats that were still eating its carcass, and was about to rush up.

But, suddenly its illusory body trembled.

This, this is...
