As long as both parties sign this first peace treaty...

Zariel, a textbook prisoner of war, would be released immediately.

Emiya pursed her lips.

He suddenly had an idea.

Himbu, King of Agorlond, Chosen of Mystra.

Now, it seems that he was kidnapped by the devil. However, even Elminster did not know how Xinbu was kidnapped, nor who was behind this kidnapping.

If that's the case, is it possible that Bayer didn't know about this? This great devil's power is clearly declining, and even returning to the Grand Duke position is now a distant prospect.

——Is it possible that he was kept in the dark by his colleagues?

Emilia's mind raced.

Worth a try, worth a try!

So what if Bayer found out?

The Harpist himself was at a loss as to how to rescue Xinbu, so now he might as well give it a try!

[I understand. Thank you, Kristen, great reader.]

[You're welcome. The cost of this consultation will be deducted from your Rite of Truth points.]

After this short wait, representatives of all relevant forces arrived at the conference room and began to circulate this new peace treaty one by one.

This treaty, literally speaking, is indeed a treaty of surrender.

The people of Elturgard received a massive payout from the demons with virtually no additional effort. It's no exaggeration to say they made a fortune in this war.

"We can sign now."

"it is good."

Bayer carefully rewrote the names of Bayer and Jiuyu in the Purgatory language on the first party. Then he carefully watched one person after another write down his or her own name and the force he or she represented.

Until he saw Emilia come over at the end and write these few lines in the celestial language.

Lunia's Emia, Emia Squad, Harpist.

"Wait!" Bayer suddenly shouted, his body covered in cold sweat, "You are a harpist?!"

"What?" Emilia looked puzzled, as if she had no idea what was going on. "I'm a harpist, so?"

"Are you qualified to represent the Harpers?"

Emiya shrugged and took out the brooch that had just been upgraded last night from the dimensional bag at her waist: "I am a high-level harpist."

"Twenty-year-old High Harper, has Elminster finally gone mad?"

Fortunately, Bile seemed completely unaware of the problem. He hesitated for a moment, thinking hard, as if trying to recall any recent conflicts between the Harpers and the demons.

He was actually kept in the dark by his colleagues!

Seeing this scene, Emiya's breathing almost stopped.

Just one step left.

Is it worth exchanging Zaril for Simbu?

It was absolutely worth it. Zariel was certainly a powerful demon, but she was the commander of the Blood War and hadn't invested much energy in the Material Plane, so the direct damage of releasing her wasn't that great.

However, Xinbu is one of the Harpers' highest-ranking and most powerful mages. As long as she can be rescued, the Harpers will be able to immediately free up a lot of combat power.

This can even be seen from the devil's manpower deployment: in order to kidnap Xinbu, the devil sent out forces that made Elminster overwhelmed, but the task of redeeming Zariel was sent by a great devil like Bayer alone.

Bayer felt that he had made a profit, and Emiya also felt that he had made a profit.

At the very end, Bayer took out his seal.

Bayer had probably endured for a long time - coming alone to the siege of the gods, with almost no external support, and having to deal with a large group of people who were quite hostile to him but not reckless for a long time.

And he has been pretending to be nice for such a long time, all for this moment!

Before making the final decision, Bayer hesitated for a moment and tried to make one last request.

But this time, all he heard was a cold snort.

The old knight snorted coldly.

In Tom's temple, if Tom doesn't want anyone to communicate with the outside world, then he will not be able to communicate with the outside world.

Bayer shook his head, pondered for a moment, and finally waved his hand.

"Snapped."

The seal touched the treaty, leaving a mark on it, signifying that the devil officially approved all the contents of the treaty.

Bayer let out a long breath and gestured to the people in front of him: "...Everyone, please."

Without any hesitation, Emilia cut her finger and pressed her bloody finger on the peace treaty.

At this point, there is no room for retreat.

Perhaps it was because Emilia set a good example, and no one else present didn't know how to treat injuries.

In a flash, scarlet handprints were left next to each person's name.

When the last relevant representative on the terms of the treaty also approved the treaty, the magic in the air suddenly rioted.

This development was beyond almost everyone's expectations.

The vast majority of the content in the first peace treaty should be almost complete material exchange. Apart from the truce, it should not involve any magical effects!

But judging from the results, this is obviously not the case!

“Ha—hahahahahahahahahahaha!”

Bayer could no longer contain his laughter and burst into laughter. "Thank you all for your cooperation. Don't worry, the war is over. The peace treaty will be signed and there will be a three-year truce—and then, naturally, the time for the prisoners of all parties to return home."

"What?!" This answer surprised most people present. "Returning prisoners?! That's not covered by the treaty!"

"That's because you didn't read the Codex carefully enough." Bayer slowly held up Volume 23 of the Codex. "It's clearly written here... Oh."

A boastful expression crossed Bayer's face. "How could a page be missing here by mistake... Well, that can't be helped. After all, we're following the full text of the code, not the sample code in front of us. I'm so sorry. Next time I sell something to you, I'll check the quality of the goods."

Almost at the same time, the huge stone statue that Zariel transformed into fell from mid-air, appeared in front of them, and smashed heavily through the long table in the conference hall.

"Don't even think about it—" Asur was about to draw his weapon, but was shocked to find that the light Moonlight Sword had become so heavy that he couldn't raise his weapon against Bayer at all.

"We've called a truce," Bayer said calmly. "It's too late to change our minds now."

"Well then." Bayer bowed gracefully. "Goodbye. I have to go back and report on my duties."

That's when Bayer realized something.

He raised his head in surprise, while Emilia pursed her lips.

Zariel was not the only lucky person liberated by this treaty.

At the same time as her, another white-haired witch arrived at the center of the venue.

——This was the only word Emilia could use to describe her at first.

The robe was so loose that it could be called open, the hair was messy and looked a little withered due to the hardship of life, and the body was so emaciated that it was almost a skeleton.

She doesn't look too old, probably around forty years old.

——But this sorceress is probably over 600 years old this year.

However, her condition was not much better than the petrified Zariel - she had obviously been a complete prisoner before, with her limbs tightly bound with heavy shackles.

Bayer, who had been so smug just now, looked at the witch's face and revealed complete shock for the first time. He even stuttered for the first time: "What the hell?! Xinbu? Why is Xinbu here?! Xinbu has become our prisoner? When did this happen?!"

Bayer realized something terrible.

Just now, Emilia did something very unusual.

Just now, Emilia of Lunya could have completely avoided revealing his identity as a harpist.

But at that time, Bayer was eager to release Zariel, fearing that the night would bring more trouble, and he really didn't have time to take the time to carefully think about the meaning behind this action.

Now, Bayer finally came to his senses and changed back to his original form. He caught Zariel's statue steadily and roared at Emiya with gritted teeth: "--You win this time! Next time..."

"You should think about how to atone for your sins, Mr. Bayer." Emilia's voice was cold, and she signaled Mars to quickly catch the old witch who was falling from the sky. "We may not have the chance to meet again--"

Author's Note: I'm sorry, but I ended up revising the ending of this chapter five or six times. So readers who subscribed early might be surprised to find the final storyline is quite different from what they saw. I'm just going to kneel down here.

Eighty-nine betrayed gods

You should think about how to make amends.

These words hit Bayer's heart like a heavy hammer.

For the first time, Bayer felt that he could not suppress his true feelings.

Everything originated from the witch who was caught by Mars.

——In fact, wizard or witch are not commonly used words on this continent.

But Xinbu is a rare exception.

Strictly speaking, she should be a mage, but it is said that her spellcasting habits are closer to those of a warlock or the most brutal kind of evocation mage. But she is also a genius among geniuses, with countless unprecedented spells created by herself.

She is one of the seven biological daughters of the Second Goddess of Magic, a true child of God. However, even among her seven sisters, Xinbu is still one of the most powerful.

No, the wording here is still not rigorous enough.

More accurately, she is the most powerful wizard in Faerun, and even one of the most powerful mortals—if beings like the Chosen of Mystra who have already achieved immortality can still be called mortals.

Even Elminster, whose stomping of his foot could shake the world, wasn't necessarily able to defeat Himbu. If Himbu were right in front of him, Larloch, who was still rampaging in Baldur's Gate, would turn around and run without hesitation.

She is a powerful mage across time, one of the strongest beings etched in Faerun's history.

——And she is Elminster’s lover.

Because of this, even though Bayer was still trying to remain calm, after discovering the consequences of the recent peace treaty, sweat broke out on his forehead for the first time out of fear.

If capturing Xinbu was such a great honor, then accidentally releasing Xinbu was such a huge mistake.

If capturing Xinbu is a secret so important that he is not qualified to know it, then capturing Xinbu is likely to be a miracle that cannot be replicated at all.

Did his contribution to freeing Zariel make up for his mistakes? He wasn't sure.

Would the Lord of Hell absolve him of responsibility for his ignorance? He wasn't sure.

But one thing is certain - he is really going to struggle for survival.

Now, Zariel's life is truly more important than his own.

——And why did it have to be petrification?

The petrified state requires a special spell to reverse, and Bayer does not know the special spell to turn fossils into flesh.

Bayer didn't dare to delay any longer. He put his hands on his waist and put on an extremely arrogant expression on his face: "Really? I don't think so - you should look out the window."

****************

"You should look out the window."

Normally, Emiya would ignore this kind of distraction.

But the pact between them and the devil is obviously quite effective.

Emiya couldn't even target Bayer with his spells now. Some invisible obstacle was trying desperately to prevent him from maintaining his concentration.

I'm afraid the same is true for everyone else present.

【Ah.】At this moment, Yin suddenly raised his head, 【What he said is true.】

The next second, a surging hot wind blew up the curtains of the conference room and ruffled Emiya's hair.

"...?"

Emiya turned her head in surprise.

Outside the city gate of Eltoril, several red fire gates had suddenly opened.

Compared to the cold and evil aura of the devil, the aura emanating from those doors is even more unruly.

even crazier.

[Gateway.] Yin said, [It leads to the Abyss. In a little while, once the demons in the Abyss realize where these new portals lead to, they'll start arriving here one after another.]
