"Hey, it seems that you two have no intention of leaving this courtyard. How are you going to thank me?"

Outside the maze area of ​​the Ukuru Courtyard, Mephisto appeared at a distance from Mu Hua and Abigail, and walked over without paying too much attention to Amos. As if to avoid causing misunderstandings, he greeted Mu Hua and the others from a distance.

"So, what did you do?" Mu Hua and Abigail did not say anything, and Amos asked with a frown.

Mephisto's words and deeds are very much like a devil businessman. He either ignores others or, if he comes into contact with them, he will adopt a relatively low profile towards most people.

But perhaps because of Abigail's presence, Mephisto did not take Amos, the 'unofficial' crown shadow, seriously.

The devil merchant likes to follow the rules, but compared to the more law-abiding Laurel Shadow, Mephisto seems to prefer the wild ghosts and gods.

"Oh, I put a lot of thought into inducing Unlanga." Mephisto said with a smile, taking credit for it.

"Mr. Mu Hua, Unlanga wants to take your life. He will probably send some gods to attack you. I have come here specifically to remind you to be prepared." Mephisto said.

"Only me?" Mu Hua didn't know where Abigail got the news from. He was prepared that Mephisto would trick Uenlanga, but why did he only want to stab him? What about Abigail?
"Of course, Unlanga understands human society, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself with Abigail," Mephisto smiled.

"Am I easier to bully?" Mu Hua twitched his mouth.

"To some extent, you can understand it this way. Of course, I don't mean to belittle you. These are Unlanga's own understandings."

"Considering your need to kill gods, there is no need for me to add unnecessary details to this understanding, right?" Mephisto explained as if it was a matter of course.

When your social identity reaches a certain level, some battles cannot be avoided just because you want to.

Mu Hua and Abigail have committed too many acts of blasphemy against the gods in the Ukuru courtyard. If they are not dealt with, the negative impact on those believers will be significant.

Of course, if the subsequent events caused by dealing with the two people are more serious than the negative impact of not dealing with them, just like the diplomacy between countries, just to deal with the cognitive judgment of the people, some bloody excuses for shirking responsibility will inevitably come.

To put it bluntly, I will do whatever I can to you. If doing so is more disadvantageous to me, then I'd better fool my own people. After all, I have to minimize the harm to myself.

Although it is annoying and regrettable that some furniture is broken and some poultry are dead at home, we cannot further increase our losses because of these things, right?

When Wuenlanga was basically certain that Mu Hua had no background, he thought that killing Mu Hua was a cost-effective thing to do.

In this process, Mephistopheles' intentional or unintentional hints and guidance were indispensable. Otherwise, it would be impossible to determine Mu Hua's background for a while, and if Mu Hua really left, he would have left.

If we spend more time promoting the idea that ghosts and gods are at their wits' end and are intimidated by gods, and then create a few large-scale miracles or something, we might be able to offset the negative impact brought by the two ghosts and gods.

"Mephisto, you just said that Unlanga would send out several gods?" Not caring about being underestimated by Unlanga, Mu Hua confirmed Mephisto's words which were deliberately expressed in a relaxed tone.

"I'm not sure about that. Maybe more than three. I think one or two gods may not satisfy your appetite, right?" Mephisto said with a smile.

"Should I understand that you think highly of me?" Mu Hua frowned. He really wanted to get more corpses of gods, but when Mephistopheles said such words, Mu Hua always felt something was wrong.

"Of course, believe me, you have the ability to deal with them, including Unlanga." Mephisto said meaningfully.

"By the way, this is the big devil you wanted. I also provide loan services. Do you want them now? It doesn't matter. Even if you fail to kill the gods this time, you can buy them on credit first and pay for one more corpse later."

"When you obtain the devil's talent, you will definitely become stronger. Those immature gods will surely tremble in fear under your claws." As he spoke, Mephisto threw out the corpses of two big devils.

It has two short horns on its forehead and top of its head, dragon wings, and a thin body that is slightly taller than humans.

Archdevils are of a high rank among demons, but their true forms lack some sensory deterrence. At the same time, from a human perspective, Archdevils are not ugly, but are closer to the term "humanoid" than most demons.

Mephisto threw away the bodies of two big devils. Mu Hua's eyes condensed, but he did not touch the bodies. The debt of the devil merchant was not so easy to owe. "I don't need any loan, and you make me very uneasy. Now I don't even want to conflict with the gods here." Mu Hua stared at Mephisto.

From Mephistopheles' words, Mu Hua was unable to determine for a moment whether this guy wanted to trick Unlanga or him.

"Oh? Haha~, Mu, you should have more confidence in yourself. Even if you can't trust a devil, you can try to trust a king."

"There's no need for me to affect my reputation among humans just to harm you, right? Compared to Unlanga, I'm more optimistic about you." Mephisto said with a teasing smile.

Gods require faith, ghosts and gods require original sin, and the devil merchant, that is, the devil, requires transactions.

The devil can obtain a kind of compensation from a successful transaction, which is a mysterious energy between faith and magic. In addition to affecting the devil's evolution, that energy can also have a tangible effect.

Although it can only materialize real things, sufficient trade compensation can even create treasures of the same level as the golden apple out of thin air. The only thing that can be considered a flaw is that the materialized things are no longer worth trading.

Therefore, all the promising devils become devil merchants. With enough transaction compensation, the devils can own all the treasures in the world.

Of course, the premise is that it is sufficient. From the perspective of fantasy realization, it is less efficient than the power of faith.

It cannot manifest magic and some illusory things in battle, but it can manifest things like magic stones, magic scrolls, magic equipment, etc.

It is not as convenient as the power of faith, but what it manifests is more permanent and real than what the power of faith creates.

In other words, transaction compensation can negate things imagined by faith, but the power of faith cannot negate things embodied by transaction compensation.

Neither the power of faith in God nor the transaction compensation of the devil can enter the realm of the soul, and it is difficult to generalize which one is better.

As for Mu Hua's idea, if possible, he would have both...

Originally, what attracted Mu Hua to the demons was their adaptability to space. As he got to know the demons better, Mu Hua finally understood that transaction compensation was the demons' real strength.

Mephistopheles brought Mu Hua the corpses of two great demons, who were most likely his offspring.

Because if Mu Hua uses the corpses of these two great devils as a medium to allow himself to possess the characteristics of the great devil, then part of the transaction compensation that Mu Hua obtains in the transaction will be allocated to Mephistopheles.

This kind of "kickback" is unavoidable for non-native "foreign devils". Even if Mephisto's children are not used as intermediaries, Mu Hua will always use the children of a certain devil as intermediaries.

It's a bit like a mechanism for absorbing faith. The "kickback" will be given to whoever's offspring is used, even if it's a devil that has escaped from the control of its parents, or even if it's a devil evolved from a little devil.

Therefore, demons also like to have children. They will raise their own children and suppress their offspring from trading. If someone kills their offspring indiscriminately, the demons will be furious. But if necessary, the demons will happily stab their offspring in the kidneys.

In essence, their children are like the material from which they create their apostles.

Therefore, the vast majority of demon merchants are devils evolved from little demons. Because they do not lay eggs randomly, their numbers are relatively rare.

Escaping from one's own parents is the most important matter of life and death for all born-in-the-vitro demons.

That’s right, if Mu Hua uses Mephisto’s offspring as a medium for keratinous skin and transfiguration, then Mu Hua will basically become Mephisto’s apostle.

Although this type of apostle is purely a "kickback" type, it must be said that while the devils need to guard against the apostles stabbing them in the waist, their love for the apostles is often higher than that for their own children, because to the devils, the apostles are more valuable than their own children.

The devil can be described as a rather contradictory, chaotic and cunning group.

This is why Mephistopheles guessed that Mu Hua was so active in using the devil as a medium. At the same time, this is also why Mu Hua, although uneasy about the issue of killing gods, felt that Mephistopheles would not cheat him. (End of this chapter)
