Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 433 The Mansion of Hope
Lyon stayed in Xia Ruisi's caress for a day. The taste of the twins was too strong, so he just appreciated the performance and summarized what he could do.

He went to Faerun with great difficulty, mainly for the Crown of Karsus and the matching Nether Stone, to fish in troubled waters to gain some benefits, and by the way, to rewrite some regrettable plots due to gameplay restrictions... if the gravekeeper, whose real identity is the ancient god of death, the recorder of fate, and the secretary of the end, did not stop him.

Kalak is a good girl who deserves a better ending.

Although Will is black, it does not prevent him from being a good person, and he is also a rare pure love party.

As far as the Githyanki are concerned, Prince Comet has a really good personality, but he cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the Githyanki... If he wants to interfere, he can interfere. Does he have to consider the mood of Vlaakis? There can only be one reason why he does not interfere in the internal affairs of the Githyanki, and that is that he finds it troublesome.

Next, the technology for manufacturing Iron Guards is not worth mentioning... Not to mention that a large amount of Hell Iron is required to manufacture Iron Guards, because ordinary metals can't withstand the high temperature of the Hell Engine, and the manufacture of Iron Guards is inevitably restricted by the Nine Hells. Let's just say that the technology for manufacturing Iron Guards comes from the Nine Hells. If he wants it, why bother pursuing the forest for the trees?

Then, Raphael's mansion in Avernus, also known as the House of Hope, not only has a large number of precious treasures, but also the Hammer of Orpheus. Although it is a mission item in the game, it is actually made by Raphael using the rare materials found by the labor of Hell. It can destroy any chains created by the Hand of Hell, and its uses are endless.

"It's you, my good man, my pillow princess Raphael."

Leon made a quick decision and went to the Residence of Hope first to rob Raphael's mansion. Considering that his plane amulet must spend a lot of time to recharge after each use, it is quite troublesome to transfer from the astral plane to Avernus, so he planned to go to the shop called Devil's Tips.

He remembered that the owner of that shop was called Hershik, who was the sorcerer of Mammon, the Greedy Duke, the lord of Minauros, the third level of the Nine Hells, and knew how to open the portal to the Nine Hells.

"Welcome to the Devil's Tip... What, you want to go to Avernus? Damn it, who told you that I would open the portal to the Nine Hells?" Helsik is indeed a respected follower of the greedy Mammon. Everything has a price. "As long as you are willing to pay the gold coins, name a price."

Leon ejected a gold coin, which drew a shining arc in the air and landed in Hershik's hand.

Hershik took the gold coin and said, "Aha, aha, aha, never say that Lord Mammon's servants don't deal with beggars."

“One thousand gold coins.” Leon raised a finger, but there was a limit, “No more.”

"Not enough." Hershik put away the gold coins, his eyes flashing with greed, "You need to donate a large sum of money to Lord Mammon's treasury, such as 20,000 gold coins."

"It's too expensive. How much do you think your life is worth?" Leon asked back. He was willing to pay for the service, but would never accept blackmail.

"You actually want to threaten the servants of the great Lord Mammon." Hershik waved his hand, and in an instant, a group of little devils covered in gold emerged, followed by gold-plated minotaurs holding huge clubs.

Leon nodded slightly. This time he transformed into a Pit Fiend, the undisputed overlord among most devils, a huge monster with a whip-like tail and huge wings, instead of a Balrog. This was mainly because Helsik was considered to be in the devil camp, and the relationship between devils and demons was incompatible.

"You... I have never seen you before." Hershik opened his eyes wide, then shook his head and denied it, "You are not a Pit Fiend. It is impossible for a Pit Fiend to need me to open a portal, and I dare not provoke Lord Mammon."

"You don't need to know who I am." Leon raised the burning flaming hammer and smashed a gilded little demon to death with one blow. Even so, the other demons did not dare to move. "You only need to know - I want to kill you, and just one hammer on the head will be enough."

"I need a contract," Hershik screamed.

"You have no choice." Leon paused, "You can tell your master about my threat to you. I believe he will not punish you."

Hershik touched his nose and said, "Lord Mammon will not allow any losses. I need to fill the hole myself."

"Lord Mammon doesn't need so many gold coins. The hole you need to fill is not that big." Leon shrugged and reminded, "Don't do anything tricky. You can't afford the consequences. By the way, I'm going to the Residence of Hope. You must know where the Residence of Hope is."

"You might as well just kill me," Hershik said.

Having said that, Hershik still took Leon, who had regained his human form, to the ceremony room on the second floor of the Devil's Tip, where a hexagram of blood had been drawn. They prepared for the ceremony. First, they placed the skull on the tip of the star near the altar, and then placed Mammon's coin on the right side of the tip of the star... It was much more troublesome than opening a portal in the game.

"Okay, you can go now. I hope I never meet you again." Hershik said, "Raphael is a terrible devil, and you... I don't know. I hope you both lose."

Leon stepped into the portal, and when he came to his senses he had arrived in Avernus - a portal opening into the home of a powerful devil only happens in games - and looking up he saw a luxurious mansion not far away, the House of Hope, and at the door was a team of Infernal Cambions holding tridents.

Leon gathered and dispersed his energy, turning into pure air and flying into the House of Hope. For some reason, he didn't hear the voice of Hope like in the game. Was it because he didn't look like a good person at first glance?
The real House of Hope is surprisingly not that different from the one in the game, so it was easy for Leon to find the archives room.

"Oh my, look who this rare guest is." Corella spotted Leon, "How dare you come to Hope House, the master's mansion?"

"Do you really want to become a demon?" asked Corella.

Leon crossed his arms and said, "If I were you, I would say less to avoid dying on the spot."

"I hope you can still speak like that when facing an angry Raphael." Corella turned into smoke and disappeared on the spot, and Leon did not stop him.

There were other people in the archives besides Corella. Leon looked at the archives clerk who looked like a red-skinned tiefling and asked, "You knew I was a thief and an intruder, but you didn't call the guards?"

……

……

When Lyon looted the House of Hope, the protagonists had already arrived in Rivington and Feilongguan. As agreed, they went to Charis's Caress to find Voss. Through Voss's introduction, they met Raphael again.

"I'm glad you're here." Raphael opened his arms. "Not to my door, but to the final reckoning."

Raphael smiled slightly, and just as he was about to start fooling the protagonists, he suddenly frowned and said, "I have something to leave for a while, I will come back to find you later."

……

……

A small bard taking out the Robe of Power would only appear in the game. It was normal for a powerful devil like Raphael to have several extremely rare or legendary weapons and equipment in his mansion. What's more, Leon found that the archive room contained more treasures than in the game, and he didn't know how many more were in the treasury.

"Gauntlets of strength for the hill giant."

"Amulet of higher life."

"I think I can take these books with me... Are there so many books about Karsus?"

"What is the spell that removes the magic spell protecting the Hammer of Orpheus?"

"Now that I remember, grant me what my heart desires."

Leon searched the archive room clean, then ran to the treasury and took out the Staff of Spellpower and the Helmet of Darkness. Moore's contract was placed next to it, and he glanced at it. After emptying the treasury, he planned to look somewhere else... By the way, he could also take away the calligraphy and paintings, antiques, statues, etc., and bring them back to decorate his villa.

When Raphael returned to the House of Hope, he found that his home was almost empty.

"I don't think anyone wants this." Lyon said with a smile.

The corner of Raphael's eye twitched.

"How dare you, a lowly rat, trespass into my territory,"

"Do you think you can steal even a copper coin from my treasure house, Raphael, without paying a price?"

"Who do you think I am? Have you ever asked who I am? I am the son of Mephisto. Even the devils of the pit in hell have to be respectful when they see me."

"I will make you understand that the real pain is not death, but living. I will chain you to a red-hot copper pillar. I will peel off your miserable skin and soak it inch by inch in acid. I will nail you to the mountains of Avernus and let vultures peck at your new flesh ten thousand times."

Raphael was so angry that his roar echoed in the corridor.

Leon glanced around, tiptoed, rushed out of the door, and rushed out of the House of Hope.

"You can't escape." This is Avernus, Raphael is not in a hurry, and chases out slowly. When a cat plays with a mouse, it doesn't have to kill the mouse all at once, it's okay to play with the mouse.

"Run, run, struggle as hard as you can."

Raphael walked out of the House of Hope leisurely, and suddenly saw a super giant red dragon squatting there, squinting its eyes and looking at him dangerously. A heavy pressure fell on his shoulders, making him almost breathless. He couldn't help but think of his father who was far away in Cania, and his expression froze instantly.

Raphael's Adam's apple rolled, and he stood there for a moment. He withdrew his gaze from the super-giant red dragon, stepped back into the door, and closed it.

"Why am I hallucinating?" Raphael rubbed his eyes and pushed the door open again. This time he saw a giant red dragon standing up and holding a divine sword.

Raphael stepped back silently, closed the door again, touched his chest, rubbed his face, pushed the door open, and looked up at the red dragon that stood up like a hill with three heads and six arms. The red dragon's six arms held six swords, and the six swords were emitting cold air, wrapped in lightning, and flowing with purple light...
