Being a demon merchant is a very promising job, seemingly more promising than being a god.
Well, ever since Occam, who was ‘not afraid of life or death’, gave in in a minute, Mu Hua has been thinking about developing this profession…
But unlike the Philosopher's Stone, it is more difficult to obtain the transaction compensation, and it is even less efficient and more troublesome than obtaining the power of faith.
After several attempts, Mu Hua discovered that even though the devil merchants had strict rules in their transactions, no matter how fair the transactions were, it seemed inevitable that some fraud would be involved, as Mu Hua knew.
Regarding the business of the devil merchant, Mu Hua is still in the training stage for now, so he came to steal Lucifer's business but ignored the whispering call that the devil could hear.
As a result, he seemed to be disliked again.
Tsk~, what's so great about that? Isn't it just developing customers by yourself? Being scolded by Lucifer and Besero, Mu Hua simply listened to the call patiently and developed business nearby.
However, when Mu Hua received a strong whisper, and when he was eager to see who was calling the devil merchant, it seemed that something was not right. . .
The thick and solid bone walls, the environment full of death, and the equally rich magic power should obviously be the effect brought by the magic gathering circle.
On the towering city walls, what comes into view are the heavy dragon-hunting crossbows and magic cannons on the city walls, the magic dragons wandering on the towers of the majestic castle, and the terror riders patrolling various areas in the city.
Under your feet is the inner city wall, and outside is a defensive barrier. Not only is there space disturbance inside the barrier, but a large area outside the barrier also has a space disturbance effect.
Mu Hua used space magic to move here. Normally, space magic should not be able to invade such an area containing disruptive spells, but this is the devil's special skill.
If someone calls upon the devil, the devil does not need spatial coordinates when responding. Instead, it establishes a special connection with the person who calls and moves directly to the caller's side. This is especially convenient and quick if it does not involve plane transfer.
But...what about the customers?
Mu Hua looked around. This was the Cains Courtyard. Yes, he was quite familiar with this area of the city, and his client... Could it be the icy lump hanging on the city wall?
A long pole stretched out from the city wall, and a dangling lump of ice was tied to the outer edge of the pole.
Eternal Ice Coffin, no problem!
There is also a lich sealed inside, it looks familiar!
Krepnos.
Krepnos, the former leader of Death Canyon, who was fucked by Leticia...
"Fuck, Krypnos? Is that you? My friend, you really put in a lot of effort to call me here to rob your house?"
The Eternal Ice Coffin is very cruel. It is not an eternal sleep curse and will not completely seal the consciousness of the recipient. The frozen person will wake up intermittently, feeling the passage of time between continuous wakefulness and sleep, waiting for his own demise.
Apparently, it seemed that Krepnos was seeking help from the demon merchant when he was awake, and he... called Mu Hua.
Shit, this is a bit bloody, right?
To be honest, Mu Hua really hasn't wanted to deal with Leticia recently. The gradual recovery of the profits from the Courtyard of the Undead will allow him to make a better deployment of the Courtyard of Cains.
But the castle in front of us was originally the lair of Krypnos, and now it is considered the main city of Leticia.
Originally, it was difficult for him to invade here, but now... he was called over by Krepnos, and was directly called into the defense barrier of the inner city.
This... If I don't do this, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to the devil?
"Ahem~" Hidden casting, breath in the cracks, invisibility, light and shadow synchronization, breath transformation...
While coughing dryly, Mu Hua cast magic on himself, and finally put on a magic shield for himself, and also opened a soundproof barrier.
"Hey~, Lord Commander Krepnos, I am the demon merchant Mu Hua, and I am glad to be of service to you." Mu Hua squatted on a long pole and said to Krepnos who had his eyes wide open in the eternal ice coffin.
Well, Krypnos should have had his eyes open when he was frozen, and now that he has called Mu Hua, he should be conscious and he should be able to hear Mu Hua's voice.
However, there seemed to be a hint of disbelief in Krypnos' eyes, but he couldn't speak, and his consciousness couldn't spread beyond the Eternal Ice Coffin. If he could speak at this moment, he would probably be cursing.
"Well, you don't have to speak. I roughly know what you are thinking. Do you need me to help you escape from here, or to help you get rid of it?" Krypnos couldn't speak, so Mu Hua spoke on his own.
"Although I am a newcomer, as a demon merchant, I have to remind you that we generally do not harm customers, especially before the customers attack us. Deliberately harming customers will be rejected and punished by other demon merchants."
"Look, I'm a newcomer and I'm not well prepared. I didn't expect to encounter such a situation when meeting a client. It should be okay if I can't remove the Eternal Ice Coffin without hurting you, right?" "Right, you can't complain to me."
Demon merchants are organized. Although the Miphisto Chamber of Commerce in Hell usually does not impose any restrictions on demon merchants, they pay more attention to situations that break the rules and damage the reputation of demon merchants.
If Mu Hua wanted to kill a lot of people with his devilish powers, he only needed to kill all those who should be killed, and other demon merchants would naturally ignore him.
But if Mu Hua goes around causing trouble under the name of a devil merchant, and the victims, especially the victimized devils, go to complain or something, the devil merchant will probably confront him.
It is not difficult to file a complaint. You can just find another demon merchant to complain to. Most of those demon merchants will actively report to the Chamber of Commerce. Demon merchants are also very happy to see the situation of "dead colleagues". . .
Of course, the devil merchants are not a group of good guys and women. If they do something not very decent and can make up for it, the Miphis Chamber of Commerce will most likely be on their side.
You can refer to the protection of each other here, maybe it is more shameless than that of the protection of each other.
Now, Mu Hua was called out by Krypnos, and he started to make up his mind.
"..." Inside the Eternal Ice Coffin, Krepnos' eyes were clearly filled with more emotions, but... he could only listen to Mu Hua's talk.
"Of course, we are old acquaintances. It is my honor to serve you. Even if I cannot rescue you right away, I will try my best to find a way."
"Then, as a token of sincerity, do you want me to take some revenge on the people who framed you before I'm called upon by you again?"
"Yes, I knew you would want revenge."
"Don't worry, I will make sure it's done beautifully for you."
"Then you can take a rest first? Remember to come find me later."
Mu Hua was very attentive to Krepnos in the ice block. The look in Krepnos's big dark eyes changed from confusion to anger, and from anger to panic.
In the end, Krepnos stared with eyes full of horror, listening to Mu Hua's voice seeming to float towards the nearby magic cannon and dragon hunting crossbow.
Well, Mu Hua has cast various invisibility spells on himself. Even if he is within the range of the Eye of True Vision, if Mu Hua is a little further away, Krypnos will not be able to see Mu Hua.
Finished! The two city guards on duty fell silently, and a dragon hunting crossbow near them disappeared.
Krypnos was filled with grief and indignation. He was really doomed!
His fight with Leticia was considered an internal conflict. If he were allowed to escape, even if he died and went back to hell, when he appeared in front of Philemon, no matter how much Philemon protected Leticia, he would have to give him an explanation.
But now, he called Mu Hua over, and Mu Hua had already started dismantling the city’s defense equipment. If Philemon knew about this, he would probably be whipped to death when he was hung up again.
Frozen in the ice, Krepnos's field of vision was very limited. Although he could no longer see what Mu Hua was doing, the image of magic cannons disappearing from the city wall emerged in his mind.
"I don't know, I know nothing," Krypnos muttered to himself.
"Gluttony!"
"There is Gluttony that has swallowed the Terror Rider!"
Krypnos felt a chill in his heart when he heard shouts from the city, but he was also surprised to find that the tower where he was hanging had been protected by an ancient guardian at some point.
"Haha~, Leticia, get up and pee~!" Mu Hua laughed wildly.
"Karma Purgatory!"
“Boom! Boom! Boom! It’s so loud!”
Well, blooming with blazing heat, well protected, hanging in the swaying block of ice on the top of the city, Krypnos hypnotized himself and fell into a deep sleep.
"I... don't know anything!!!" (End of this chapter)
