Chapter 344 Ruthless Lord (1222)
No... no swap?
Mephisto's expression froze slightly, as if he hadn't expected Lord's choice, and said dryly: "Mr. Carl, is that man worth less in your heart than the few thousand souls in the contract?"
"Old Mo, you're just joking. The true value of this contract can't be described by just a few thousand souls, right?"
Lord played with the sheepskin scroll in his hand, and looked at Mephisto with a half-smile, as if he wanted to see what he was thinking from the other's expression.
But unfortunately, Mephisto was very cunning, with no flaws in his expression, he just sighed with pretended regret, and said, "That's really thankful to Mr. Carl, and I happen to like that man's soul very much."
Is this sentence true or false?
Lord couldn't see through Mephisto's thoughts, but he vaguely felt that it was not that simple.
Deliberately letting go of Carter Sley, Johnny Blazer, and even Blackheart, including now deliberately giving up Hasward, all of these are actually Lord's testing, wanting to see how Mephisto reacts.
But unfortunately...
Mephisto, known for his treachery and cunning, did not show any flaws, and even showed his intention to abandon the contract of San Van Gunza.
In fact, after meeting Mephisto, he has been thinking about a problem.
What exactly does that St. Van Gonzal contract symbolize to Mephisto? It is worth spending thousands of years slowly corrupting this holy place on earth.
Is it the souls of three thousand saints?
As one of the strongest demon kings, Mephisto is in charge of the huge hell alone, and he is a single universe-level peak. There are only a few thousand saint souls in his hell, and there are eight thousand if not ten thousand, so This is not logical.
Or, as Carter said, the contract of St. Van Gonzale can summon the gates of hell and bring the whole world into his hell territory?
If it was a pure Marvel universe, Lord might still believe it.
But the problem is...
After the Constantine incident, Lord uncovered a part of the world hidden in the black mist, and learned that the world, hell, and heaven have ancient contracts and constraints.
Not to mention whether the plan can be realized, even if the gate of hell is really summoned, under the double siege of Heaven and Emperor Weishan, Mephisto may have to be careful of backstabs from other demon kings.
Even though he was made of iron all over, how many nails could he bear?
So obviously...
Summoning the gates of hell to devour the world, this plan seems beautiful, but it has no possibility of implementation.
Then the interesting part comes, neither because of the soul of the saint, nor because it is impossible to devour the world, so what is the purpose of Mephisto making the contract?
It can't be because it's fun, right?
An insidious and cunning demon like Mephisto will never do things without interest and purpose. There must be a deeper reason, and this is what he is puzzled about!
On the one hand, he is longing for the contract of St. Van Gonzal, but on the other hand, he is letting Carter go. This kind of contradictory behavior makes it impossible to guess what the king of all demons is planning in his heart!
"Since Mr. Carl has chosen the contract, according to the content of the transaction, can you hand over the nephew to me?" Mephisto didn't continue to entangle in the contract, and turned to Lord to beg for black hearts. magic.
"of course can."
Lord smiled, touched the trembling Black Heart Demon, and said, "But before that, please give me the spell to open the contract of St. Van Gonzal."
"Spell?"
Mephisto showed a familiar surprised expression again: "Mr. Carl, I only promised to give you the contract, but I didn't promise to give you the spell."
"..."
Lord was a little speechless: "Are you going to use these word games to play me?"
"No, no, Mr. Carl, you misunderstood me again." Mephisto waved his hands again and again, and said, "No one in the universe knows that I, Mephisto, will never violate the content of the contract, since it is something that is not stipulated in the contract. , then how can I give it to you?"
A look of pity flashed in the eyes of the black heart demon, another poor guy who believed in Mephisto's lies.
Up to heaven and down to hell, but in everything that moves, who knows that there is a person and a demon inside, who can't even believe half a punctuation mark, otherwise there will be no underpants left after being cheated, or even death.
That person is Constantine.
And the demon is Mephisto.
The reputation of these two people is almost stinking out of the sky. It is not an exaggeration to say that people hate ghosts!
The St. Van Gonza contract without spells is just a relatively tough piece of parchment. If you use it to wipe your butt, you have to consider whether it will be infected by bacteria on it. It is estimated to be worth the same as 200-grit sandpaper in the toilet.
"I get the general idea."
Lord was still very calm, and said: "According to what you mean, you only need to abide by the content of the contract, right?"
"This is the virtue of respecting the spirit of the contract!"
Mephisto's old face was as bright as a chrysanthemum, as if he had crushed Lord to death, he said triumphantly: "So according to the content of the contract, Mr. Carl can hand over the Black Heart Demon to me."
"However, I have always been very merciful. If Mr. Carl regrets it and proposes to change the content of the transaction now, I can still accept it."
Even if Lord didn't choose to change the content of the transaction, what he got was just a piece of parchment, which was of no use to him, so he might as well exchange it for the man's soul, at least it would save some money.
This wave, it can be said that Mephisto counted it right!
No matter whether he traded or not, he won't suffer any losses, and he also cheated a thug for free, and solved the black heart demon who ran away from home.
"No need."
The light in Lord's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said calmly: "I like people who abide by the spirit of the contract, so I will return the black heart demon to you according to the contract."
Before the Black Heart Demon could react, he felt the spine on the back of his neck suddenly being tightly squeezed by those palms.
"Stop...stop!"
There was a trace of panic in the heart of the Black Heart Demon. He seemed to understand what Lord wanted to do, and opened his mouth weakly, wanting to call for help from Mephisto next to him.
next moment!
I saw blood in Lord's eyes, and five fingers were stuck on the spine of the black heart demon like iron tongs, and he suddenly pulled, pulled, and lifted!
Whoa! ! !
There was a series of teeth-gritting, flesh-and-blood separation sounds, mixed with the miserable howling of the Black Heart Demon.
I saw a complete spine and the head of the Black Heart Demon, which was 'pulled' out by Lord with brute force!
Carter and Johnny's pupils shrank suddenly, and their stomachs were overwhelmed in an instant. They couldn't help but leaned over and vomited out. They almost vomited out their dinner!
Bang!
Under Mephisto's furious eyes, Lord kicked Black Heart Demon's body over.
"Lord Karl, what do you mean!" Mephisto's pupils burst out with anger, and the void around him was even shaking, and a terrifying coercion permeated the entire space!
"Of course I abide by the contract."
Lord held Black Heart Demon's head and spine in one hand, then smiled and said: "I have returned Black Heart Demon to you as agreed, and as for the rest, I will treat it as a reward."
goo-dong...
Johnny swallowed, looking at the two confronting each other, his heart suddenly turned cold!
This is called a ruthless person!
If there is a disagreement, it will be given to the black heart demon, and only the spine will be left.
