Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 288 Contract established
"To some extent, you are truly the most shameless guy I have ever seen."

Nohir took a deep look at Jaggers. Perhaps he was too fast when he signed the contract for the first time, which made this guy mistakenly think that he would have an opportunity to do some tricks. At that time, Nohir almost just looked at it. After making sure there was no trick, he directly signed the contract with him, but such a straightforward behavior made this guy have some thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Gargas wanted to do something about the second treaty. He attached some purgatory deeds that represented the cancellation of the treaty. This alone did not count as a trap for Nohill, but if Nohill really let him If he succeeds, he can cancel the three previously agreed treaties at will.

By then, this guy will have no restraints, and as a devil without restraints, Nohir can think of what this guy wants to do with his eyes closed.

"I don't understand what you are talking about at all, Master, but I promise you that such behavior that makes you unhappy will never happen again."

"I don't believe in your guarantee, but I believe in the effectiveness of the contract, so don't talk nonsense. As long as you still have some thoughts about regaining your freedom, then just give up those acts of seeking death. Of course, you You can also choose not to follow my advice, but by then the best outcome for you is to soak in the water of the Styx until you are rotten. If you are lucky, the water will corrode the seal and let you go out for a walk, but what will happen after that? As a devil born in the Nine Hells, I believe you know better than me."

"Oh, yes, damn, I really want to regain my freedom, but freedom obtained in that way cannot be considered freedom. It can only be called suicide. My master, please allow me to add this restriction to I cannot accept this way of gaining freedom in a secondary attachment contract.”

"You guy, you were thinking of cheating me one moment, and you dare to negotiate terms with me the next moment? It seems that my evaluation of you is really right. You are really the most shameless guy I have ever seen. "

"Oh, these words of praise make me blush. You are so complimentary."

"...Stop talking nonsense."

Looking at this incompetent guy, Nohill gave up the idea of ​​continuing to communicate with him. He took over the burning purgatory sheepskin again. After careful confirmation, Nohill signed his own again. name, and the contract was burned out again.

Feeling the familiar weak restraint again made Nohir move his arms uncomfortably, but he knew what this feeling meant.

From today on, from this moment on, Nohir can already announce that his plot against Gargoth's power has been 80% successful! As long as he finds a way to release Gargoth from this shield, Nohir can directly use the magic of the crown to deprive him of his powerful power!

"Very good. Now we can finally have a little bit of trust between us."

Nohir was a little relieved, but Jaggers's tone was not high. After his plan was discovered, he completely handed over his life and fortune to Nohir's hands, but he did not have any reaction. method of making.

Although he had already expected this situation and was fully mentally prepared, when it actually came, it was still difficult for him to accept it. Recalling the status and glory he had in the past, his current abject situation made him He was almost ashamed to face his former glory.

"As long as you are happy, master, but please forgive me, having trust is certainly a good thing for us, but shouldn't the most important thing right now be to take action? Master, have you thought about the direction of advancement? And when you are exploring Avernus and looking for the so-called Haruman, where do you start? I wonder if you, Master, have solutions to these problems?"

"Heh, I do have some ideas, but I wonder what you have to say?"

"I'm sorry, Master, at least I can't help you with finding Haruman. I have been sealed for too long. During this time, even the tributaries of the River Styx can change. The terrain here I I’m afraid I don’t know them all anymore. That guy named Haruman is a rookie who has risen in the past 100 years. I don’t know anything about him.”

"But although I can't help in this regard, at least the power I promised you can still be achieved. No matter which direction you choose to advance, as long as I can gather the materials, I can help you quickly in a short time. Transform into a legendary race individual and gain extraordinary potential and power. "So what are the materials? Is it easy to collect them in this hell?"

Nohir asked a crucial question. If the materials required for the ceremony could not be collected in hell, then this seemingly beautiful promise would be useless during this period, and Gargas also understood that Nohir It only took him a short time to get over the frustration of the failure of the plan, and then began to explain to Nohir in detail.

"Don't worry, my dear master, if you want to perform this kind of ceremony, the most critical thing is to use a special alchemical liquid. This liquid is the basic component of the ceremony. Other materials can be obtained by collecting them. Only this requires knowledge, and I know the specific recipe.”

"You still haven't answered my question, so what specific materials are needed?"

"Nothing is needed, Master. That kind of alchemy solution requires hundreds of materials to prepare, and many of them cannot be obtained in hell. But we don't need to find the raw materials for these things at all, because I store them in my palace. Everything we need.”

"Your palace?"

"Yes, my palace is also my glory. Back then, I relied on my endless military exploits to be promoted to the Hell Fiend. As a result, I was favored by Grand Duke Bell and gave me an exclusive territory and an entire floating barrier. , everything I have is stored there, including the unique alchemy liquid you need for the ceremony."

"You have been sealed for so long. Are you sure your palace will still exist during this period?"

"Haha, my master, of course I am sure it must still exist, but I am also sure that my palace must have been occupied by other parasites!"

"I can sense its location based on the mark of purgatory left back then. It's somewhere in hell, and it's still moving, moving! That damn Zarrell must have rewarded me with it after I was sealed. Give it to other devils! Those damn robbers! I will crush them into pieces when I regain my strength!"

"It sounds like things have been used to their full potential, but according to your statement, even if we really find the fortress, are you sure that the current owner of the fortress will have disposed of it in such a long time? Got something left by your previous master?”

Nohir was not affected by Jaggers' tone, but continued to ask calmly. Jaggers immediately changed his tone to a calmer tone, as if his personality had been switched, and calmly explained to Nohir .

"No, you can rest assured about this, Master. I can still sense the location of the barrier. This means that the mark I left has not been erased by anyone, and it also means that my secret treasure house has not been erased by anyone. I found that what we need is still very safe in my solidified position treasure house.”

"Next, we just need to take time to go there. As the original owner of the fortress, I know many secret passages. At that time, we can easily bypass the heavy defenses and leave directly after getting what we need. That’s it.”

"That sounds very considerate, but apart from these things in the barrier, are you sure there is nothing else you need to prepare?"

Gargas was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said to Nohir.

"I have prepared all the materials there, but if you want to speed up the progress of the ceremony, you'd better prepare some living sacrifices in advance."
