Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 515 Showing Sincerity
Raphael flicked his sharp nails lightly, then shifted his gaze to Noshil beside him. At this time, Noshil had stopped attacking because he also discovered that Raphael was indeed a real phantom. There was really no point in attacking him at this time.

This forced Noshil to temporarily retreat quickly to a relatively safe area, holding an axe in one hand, carefully guarding against Raphael's every move, silently waiting for the moment when Raphael revealed a flaw, but Raphael continued to speak at this time.

"I have to say that the speed of your attack just now was truly astonishing. Even with my unprecedented knowledge, I cannot guarantee that there is another person in the world with your speed. After all, at that moment, when you launched the attack, even I could only barely react."

"You still dodged it, what a pity. Damn it, I really want to chop off your head more and more now. If I had just left the group after my first attack, maybe I wouldn't have to stay here and let my ears continue to suffer from your words."

Raphael chuckled, then walked slowly around Noshil, step by step, and spoke at the same time.

"Hehehe, yes, it's a pity that you didn't seize that opportunity. But Noshir, do you really think I would just show up in front of you without any preparation? Do you really think that even if you use all your strength, you can really attack me?"

Noshier did not reply, and Raphael continued to speak.

"Do you know what my fellow devils in hell call you, Noshir? They call you the City Breaker, the Demon Killer, the Heart Controller. They say that you can break through an entire Blood War Fortress with a wave of your hand, and control any devil with a glare, even if he is a legend in the Blood War. They say that you come and go without a trace, and are an opponent that all demons dare not face, because even Grand Duke Zariel's top warrior suffered a great loss at your hands. No one knew when he was controlled until recently when our Grand Duke discovered it himself."

"I don't know how much of these rumors are true, but facing an opponent as legendary as you, even if 9/10 of these rumors are false, it is still worth my time and energy to prepare a good pair of "fangs" for myself."

Noshir raised his brows and continued.

"It seems that I am still very famous in hell. However, it seems that this fame in hell has brought me a lot of troubles and has no other effect. Ha, if I had known this, I would not have gone to such great lengths to make such a big fuss in hell. This is really a losing business."

Raphael laughed again, because Noshir did not deny his last words, and this meant big news. Zariel had been offering a reward for whoever manipulated his top general, and Noshir was just at the top of the list of suspects. But now it seems that the truth has come to light, and this will be a key piece of information that can increase their bargaining chips in subsequent conversations. At this time, Raphael continued to speak.

"For the weak, having a reputation that does not suit them will only bring them quick and cruel destruction, or countless and endless troubles. But on the other hand, for a strong person like you, this fame means all kinds of opportunities, such as..."

"You're not going to say that you are that opportunity, are you? Goodbye, you better shut up and stop disgusting me. You want me to believe in a devil who suddenly appeared with ill intentions with just a few words? Oh, even if you want to lie, you should at least find a better reason."

Raphael's words were interrupted by Noshil, and the contempt and arrogance in his words successfully disgusted Raphael, making his originally good mood instantly become bad.

“Arrogance and conceit often build a ridiculous tombstone for mortals. When you fall into crisis and despair one day in the future because of your arrogance, you will remember how arrogant you were to refuse to listen to the wise man’s warning.”

"Then you will remember that it is your arrogance this time that will lead you into such a predicament in the future. So please be a little accommodating to me, Noshil, or at least wait until I finish speaking, because your savior is contained in my words." Raphael's unfriendly words were full of sneaky and threatening meanings in various senses. Originally, this cheap threat would only cause Noshil's dissatisfaction, but Noshil knew that with Raphael's arrogance, this guy would most likely not lie about such things.

This guy might really have some information that could threaten me in the future, and judging from his current posture, he obviously wants to exchange this information for something.

"…What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to talk, why not speak clearly? Otherwise, just shut your mouth tightly."

This time Raphael was not angered.

"You have no patience and no manners, but we should really get to the point."

Raphael slowly approached Noshir.

"I've told you before, Noshir, that I've always looked forward to a meeting between you and me, but not in such an awkward situation as this."

Raphael bypassed Noshir.

"In my imagination, the situation between you and me will not be as tense as it is today. Instead, we will sit by the warm fire and drink wine together. In the end, I will tell you the truth about everything I know, including all the information that is intended to be detrimental to you, so that you can prepare in advance and nip all dangers in the bud."

"Perhaps because of my selfless generosity and my act of kindness that shocked the Nine Hells, we will become close friends. We will join hands and create a great and glorious new era together!"

Raphael's tone seemed to have never been so sincere, but after saying these words, he sighed helplessly and shifted his gaze to Corella who was lying on the ground.

"But it's a pity that, because of my useless subordinate, our meeting with each other became so hasty and so unsatisfactory."

"Alas, this is really a great loss, but Noshir, even though the probability of our getting along well has been infinitely reduced to the lowest due to some small mistakes, I am still willing to use my infinite sincerity to make up for our friendship that has not yet been born."

"So don't worry, Noshir. To show my sincerity, I will still tell you everything that should be said and the news that you should know without missing a word."
