Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 283 Yuzo’s legendary promotion

"I have to say that the conditions you proposed really moved me. The contract told me that you didn't panic. It's unbelievable. You actually have the ability to pull the entire city out of hell. With this condition alone, you have The qualifications to negotiate with me..., but they are just qualifications. After all, we have more than one way to solve the current problem, and your way should be ranked lower. "

"No matter how far back you are in the queue, it is still a way. It is better than nothing. I believe you will not let go of this possibility. After all, I also represent a way out."

"Indeed, something is better than nothing. Under the current situation, at least this sentence is absolutely correct."

"It seems that we have reached a consensus, how about it? Do you want to accept the conditions I gave?"

"Don't worry, Hidden Lord, 50 years. 50 years may be a long time for us mortals, but for an immortal devil like you, 50 years is a bit too short. And don't think I haven't noticed it. That loophole in your words, you must be loyal to me within the time specified in the contract, isn't that 50 years from now? But how do I know when I can break your seal? What if it's too late? , what will happen after 50 years?”

"...Don't be too greedy, Nohir, 50 years is already..."

"No, no, no, don't get me wrong, Hidden Lord, I don't want to increase the validity of the contract. After all, if the time is too long, then everyone will not be relieved, and I can't wait that long. I really can't wait for 50 years. Everyone in the city has long since died."

"So I can accept your proposal. Although I may not need your help in the end, your existence can be regarded as a retreat. If we can neither find the contract nor the artifact, then Maybe I can only count on you in the end.”

Hearing this, Jagas exhaled in his heart instantly. After being powerless for so long, he finally saw a glimmer of light! Although the future is still bleak, there is at least a glimmer of hope.

"Very good! You won't be disappointed with your decision today! Wait for me for a while, and when I gather some more strength, we will sign an additional contract right away!"

"Wait a minute, don't be so excited. I haven't finished speaking yet. It's okay to want me to sign this additional treaty, but you also know that you are just an alternative. This means that no matter what our final outcome is, you can crack it The probability of being sealed is not particularly high.”

"Either we find the contract or the artifact and don't need you at all, we can solve the problem on our own and leave hell, or we suffer an accident on the way to find these two items and die directly, and you still won't be able to break the seal by then. ”

"Only if we fail to find those two items and have not lost our lives due to failure, can we turn our attention to you. To be honest, the probability of this is already very small. It can even be said that almost impossible."

Nohir's sudden truth poured cold water on Gargas, but he reacted immediately.

Nohir told him all this clearly. Is there a way to solve this problem?
"So..., what do you want to do?"

"Haha, to put it bluntly, I am a greedy person. The promise you gave me really makes my heart beat, so I can make the decision and move your priority one place forward, just behind the search for the contract. In this case, we The chance of focusing on you will be directly improved by a level, and you will have a greater chance of getting rid of the seal of the shield. "

"...This is really nice to say, but I don't believe you are so kind. What are your conditions?"

"As expected of the Hidden Lord, you can see my true purpose at a glance. Yes, I do like a lot of things in you, but in this current situation, you should be able to guess what I want most." "In this current situation..., do you want power?"

Snapped! Nohir snapped his fingers instantly, then nodded in agreement.

"Yes, what I want is power!"

Nohir said seriously to the shield in front of him. He had planned to gain the power of Gargas a long time ago. For this reason, he had even thought of a plan. That plan was to use various information asymmetries to To induce Gargoth to sign a contract with him giving up his autonomy.

Just before, when Gargas took the initiative to sign the so-called additional treaty, Nohir's original plan could have been declared successful.

As long as Nohir signs this additional treaty with him, he can sacrifice Gargoth directly through the crown as long as the seal is released in the future! Thus, you can fully obtain the full power of this demigod devil! At that time, Nohill could actually declare the success of the plan, but he was not dazzled by this unexpected surprise.

Because he knew in his heart that even if the hidden lord gave up the initiative and signed a contract of betrayal with him, before his seal was broken, Nohir could hardly get anything from this devil, which would be very detrimental to the next actions. , plus trying to avoid arousing the devil's suspicion, Nohir wanted to ask for power from Gargas at this time.

Although in ancient legends, seeking power from a devil is always the stupidest move, at this time he is not the victim in those legends. Now Nohir is the one who has the initiative, and he has every right to do so. The ability to ask for more things from this devil will increase the success rate of the next exploration of Avernus.

"I know the world's evaluation of the devil, and it is not wise to ask the devil for power, but I feel that given the situation at this time, I should be able to be a little more willful."

"...Do you think you can defeat me?"

"Is not it?"

"Haha, that's right! You really fucking beat me! But I don't care, on the contrary, Nohill, I value you more! People like you will definitely be able to achieve great things! Because you have the same things as me Do you know why I have such a strong power? It is my unabashed desire and ambition that makes me so powerful now!"

"Although I ended up where I am now due to a series of accidents, I have no regrets! Even if I could turn back time and make a choice again, I would still choose to gain that power!"

"You are really good, Nohir! I see your virtue, so I am willing to provide you with a power to increase your success rate! Don't worry, this power is definitely not something that ordinary devils use to fool fools! This is It’s a powerful force that can transform you and give you a new lease of life!”

"The name of this power is: [Yuzo's Legendary Promotion]!"
