Chapter 650 The Devil's Apostle
"Hey, it seems that you two are not going to leave this courtyard. How are you going to thank me?"
Outside the maze area of the Wukulu courtyard, Mephisto appeared at a distance from Mu Hua and Abigail, and walked over without paying too much attention to Amos. It seemed that in order to avoid misunderstandings, he greeted Mu Hua and the others from a distance.
"So, what did you do?" Mu Hua and Abigail did not speak, and Amos frowned and asked.
Mephisto's words and deeds are very much in the style of a demon merchant. He either ignores them, or if he contacts them, he will treat most people with a relatively low profile.
But perhaps because Abigail was present, Mephisto did not take Amos, the "leader" of the crowned shadow, seriously.
Demon merchants like to follow rules, but compared to the more rule-abiding crowned shadow, Mephisto seems to prefer wild ghosts and gods.
"Hehe, I spent a lot of effort to induce Wuenlanga." Mephisto smiled and asked for credit.
"Mr. Mu Hua, Wunlanga wants to take your life. He should send some gods to attack you. I came here to remind you to be prepared." Mephisto said.
"Only me?" I don't know where Abigail got the news from before. Mu Hua was mentally prepared that Mephisto would fool Wunlanga, but why did he only want to stab him? What about Abigail?
"Of course, Wunlanga understands human society, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for Abigail." Mephisto smiled.
"I am 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 Wunlanga's own understanding."
"Because considering your need to kill gods, I don't need to add to this understanding, right?" Mephisto explained with a matter-of-fact attitude.
When the identity with social attributes reaches a certain level, some battles cannot be avoided if you want to.
Mu Hua and Abigail have done a lot of blasphemous things against the gods in the Ukuru courtyard. If they are not dealt with, the negative impact on the believers will be significant.
Of course, if the subsequent situation caused by dealing with the two is more serious than the negative impact of not dealing with them, just like the diplomacy between countries, some bloody excuses will come just to deal with the cognitive judgment of the people.
To put it bluntly, if I can deal with you, I will deal with you. If dealing with you is more disadvantageous to me, then I will just fool my own people. After all, I have to minimize the harm to myself.
Although it is annoying and regrettable that some furniture broke and some poultry died at home, I can't further expand my losses for these things, right?
When Wunlanga was basically sure that Mu Hua had no backstage, it seemed to him that dealing with Mu Hua was a cost-effective thing.
And in this, Mephisto's intentional or unintentional hints and guidance were inevitable. Otherwise, it would be impossible to determine Mu Hua's background for a while, and if Mu Hua really left, he would leave.
Spend more time to publicize that ghosts and gods are at their wits' end and are intimidated by gods, and then create a few large-scale miracles, and probably you can offset the negative effects of the two ghosts and gods.
"Mephisto, you just said that Wunlanga will send out several gods?" Not caring about being underestimated by Wunlanga, Mu Hua confirmed Mephisto's words that were deliberately expressed in a relaxed tone.
"I'm not sure about this, more than three, I think one or two gods should not satisfy your appetite, right?" Mephisto smiled.
"Should I understand that you think highly of me?" Mu Hua frowned. He really wanted to get more corpses of gods, but when Mephisto said this, Mu Hua always felt that the taste was wrong.
"Of course, believe me, including Wunlanga, you have the ability to deal with them." Mephisto pointed out something.
"By the way, this is the big devil you want. 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 one more god corpse later."
"When you get the devil's talent, you will definitely become stronger. Those immature gods will definitely tremble under your claws." As he spoke, Mephisto threw out two big devil corpses.
There are two short horns on the forehead and the top of the head, dragon wings, and a thin body that is slightly taller than humans.
The big devil has a high rank among the demons, but their bodies lack some sensory deterrence. At the same time, from the perspective of humans, the big devil is not ugly, but is closer to the word "humanoid creature" than most demons.
The two big devil corpses were thrown out by Mephisto. Mu Hua's eyes condensed, but he didn't touch the corpses. The debt of the demon merchant is not so easy to owe.
"I don't need any loans, and you make me feel uneasy. Now I don't even want to conflict with the gods here." Mu Hua stared at Mephisto.
From Mephisto's words, Mu Hua couldn't tell for a moment whether this guy wanted to cheat 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."
"I don't need to affect my reputation among humans in order to harm you, right? Compared to Unlanga, I am more optimistic about you." Mephisto laughed teasingly.
Gods need faith, ghosts and gods need original sin, and demon merchants, that is, demons, need transactions.
Devils can get a kind of compensation from successful transactions, which is a mysterious energy between faith and magic. In addition to affecting the evolution of devils, that energy can also play a role in materializing things.
Although it can only materialize real things, sufficient transaction compensation can even create treasures of the level of golden apples out of thin air. The only thing that can barely be regarded as a flaw is that the materialized things are probably not worth trading again.
So all promising devils become demon merchants. Sufficient transaction compensation can allow devils to own all the treasures in the world.
Of course, the premise is that it is enough. From the perspective of fantasy materialization, it is less efficient than the power of faith.
It cannot materialize magic and some illusory things in battle, but it can materialize things like magic stones, magic scrolls, and magic equipment.
It is not as convenient as the power of faith, but the things it materializes are more permanent and real than those made by the power of faith.
In other words, transaction compensation can negate the things imagined by faith, but the power of faith cannot negate the things materialized by transaction compensation.
Neither the power of faith of the gods nor the trade compensation of the devil can enter the realm of the soul, and it is not easy to generalize which is better.
As for Mu Hua's idea, if possible, he wants both. . .
Originally, what attracted Mu Hua to the devil was their adaptability to space. As he learned more about the devil, Mu Hua finally understood that trade compensation is the real strength of the devil.
And Mephisto brought Mu Hua two corpses of big devils, and these two big devils are likely to be his offspring.
Because if Mu Hua uses the corpses of these two big devils as a medium to allow himself to have the characteristics of the big devil, then part of the trade compensation obtained by Mu Hua in the transaction will be allocated to Mephisto.
This kind of "kickback" is unavoidable for non-native "foreign devils". Even if Mephisto's children are not used as a medium, Mu Hua will always use the children of a certain devil as a medium.
It's a bit like the mechanism of faith. Whoever uses the child, the "kickback" will be allocated to him, even if it is a devil that has escaped the control of the father, even if it is a devil evolved from a little devil.
So the devils also like to give birth. They will cultivate their own children and suppress their offspring in trading. If someone kills their offspring indiscriminately, the devil will also be furious. But if necessary, the devil will happily stab the kidneys of their offspring.
In essence, their children are like the materials for their apostles.
So most of the demon merchants are demons evolved from little demons, because they don't lay eggs randomly, and their number is relatively rare.
And escaping from their parents is the most important life and death event for all viviparous demons.
That's right, if Mu Hua uses Mephisto's child as a medium for keratin skin and shapeshifting, then Mu Hua is basically equivalent to becoming Mephisto's apostle.
Although this type of apostle is purely for the purpose of taking "kickbacks", it must be said that while the devils need to guard against the apostles stabbing them in the back, they often love the apostles more than their children, because to the devils, the apostles are more valuable than their children.
The devils can be said to be a very contradictory and chaotic cunning group.
This is why Mephisto guessed that Mu Hua was so active in using the devil as a medium. At the same time, it is also the reason why Mu Hua, although uneasy about the issue of killing gods, feels that Mephisto should not cheat him. (End of this chapter)
