Chapter 4 Fraud Expert

Rose said to Hongyue: "The reason is obvious. Ziri's long-term efforts are to make us become the middlemen. This identity determines that the negotiations between the four major forces will directly affect our interests. If the power comparison between the heaven and the demon world is like the United States and Iraq Similarly, the behavior of the Heavenly Court must be direct elimination rather than negotiation. Since there is no negotiation, what do we need as intermediaries? On the other hand, if the balance of power between the negotiating parties is very close and no one is willing to make concessions, then our value will be reflected It’s out. The harder they talk, the bigger the margin we make, and the more they talk the more we benefit. It’s that simple.”

"What about these heavenly soldiers from Essinger now?" Hongyue asked.

I said indifferently: "Just keep them for now. Heaven will naturally come to pick them up after they have finished dealing with the gods inside. Are you still afraid that they won't give us any respect when they go back? The gods also have their own social circles, and these people will lead them when they go back. From the perspective of our acquaintances, we saved these heavenly soldiers and actually attracted three or four times the number of people. Ultimately, this will lead to heaven’s overall policy tilt toward us, which is called the mass effect.”

"How did you think of it?" Eagle sighed: "You can think of such a cunning policy."

I shook my head and said, "I didn't invent this."

"Who is that?" Hongyue asked curiously.

"I don't know who the inventor is, but our country has been using this policy. Haven't you noticed? Our country's aid to African countries is directly aimed at civilians, without going through the local 'government', and directly distributing supplies to the people. , to help them build roads and build houses. Those countries in Africa are very 'chaotic' and change 'governments' every three days, but we support civilians, so no matter which 'government' comes to power, we will always be kind to our country. I am I borrowed this method. Although the top management in Heaven does not change often, we cannot contact those high-level members, so I set the target on these lower-level members. If all members of a group reach a certain consensus, even if some senior members There is no point in opposing it.”

"You are just a bad guy, and everyone else will be fooled by you." Ying said with a smile.

"I usually seldom scheme against people, so why bother! Haven't you heard that people who are too narrow-minded tend to grow old before they get old? Oh, that's right." I took out a piece of jade and handed it to Ying. "You will use this to find Erlang Shen later and tell him the situation here. Let him arrange for the heavenly soldiers to return to heaven. Also, when the time comes, squeeze out more tears and describe us as the kind of heroes who have made huge sacrifices. . Eagle, if you are not good at this, you can let Rose do it."

Rose came over and took the jade piece: "I'll do it. It's strange that an eagle can squeeze out tears. But why don't you go in person?"

"I still have to go to the monster clan. They must be holding a celebration party there. It's true that I can extort some benefits while everyone is in a good mood. I don't really want to help the monsters subvert the power of heaven. I want to recruit intermediaries. It’s free.”

Jin Coin shouted from the side: "Then go quickly, don't give me face, and be ruthless."

"Go. Do you still want to make money in the future? Killing a chicken to retrieve eggs is just once. Only by raising a chicken can you eat eggs for a long time! You have to look at the right amount for blackmail!"

Rose asked: "Do you need us to go with you?"

"No need. You won't be able to talk to each other there, so it's better for me to go alone."

This time when I left Isengard, I learned my lesson and brought a large number of teleportation scrolls with me beforehand. I also got an undead war horse and borrowed a black hooded robe from Vader. Steel Claw is a combat-type magic weapon and is not suitable for use as a mount over long distances. Silver Moon's overly weak body makes it difficult to walk, so getting a horse is the best choice. As for the robe, that thing is mainly used to cover my appearance.

This time when I ran to the cemetery, the monster guarding the gate took the initiative to help me lead the horse over. I was taken directly into the interior of Duling City. The entire Du Ling is now a mountain of monsters and a sea of ​​monsters, and the city is full of monsters. My identity is relatively secret. There are all new monsters here, and most of them don't know me. The monsters are very curious about a creature like me walking on the streets. However, the big monster who led me was very intimidating, and no monster dared to approach rashly.

Entering the main hall where the lord was leaning, the four guardians were already standing in a row waiting at the gate, with a large number of unfamiliar faces standing behind them. It also appears to be the backbone of new developments. Six brass doors slammed shut behind me, and all the windows were closed. I threw the cloak down with both arms in a very cool manner, and two little vixens accurately caught the cloak and stood guard by the door.

"How do you feel?" I raised my eyebrows at the four guardians.

Shui Xu said with a smile on his face: "It's great. After so many years! I finally got rid of the bad breath."

Yin Yao, who was dressed in fiery red, looked at me with lustful eyes: "It's hard to imagine that a creature with little power like you can actually fulfill the wish that our demon tribe has not been able to fulfill for many years. It seems that it was really hard to imagine at the beginning. I lost my sight. But your current body makes me even more curious. Shuixu said that you and Ziri share a soul, is it true?"

"It's not me and Ziri. I am me. This body is called Silver Moon, and that body is called Ziri. They are both me. And it is impossible to move at the same time. Because I only have one soul."

Yin Yao nodded: "I heard that you helped treat a large number of injured heavenly soldiers. Why not just let them die?"

"Please. On the surface, I still have a cooperative relationship with Heavenly Court. How could I not save him? Don't let it go when you see an opportunity, but you must not take advantage of it. This time, you have already made a profit by exchanging one spiritual vein for hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers. It’s too big a deal. To leave evidence for those wounded soldiers to the Heavenly Court is a small gain but a big loss. Besides, the more Heavenly Court trusts me, won’t you be safer?”

Qiong Lin, who was all wrapped in a black cloak, asked: "Why are you so inclined to us?"

"Because it's more beneficial to cooperate with you."

"Can't heaven give you any benefits?"

"That's not true. Luan's wealth and wealth are incomparable to those of Heaven. He is a king, and you are considered a small landowner. That is not on the same level at all."

Yin Yao asked: "Then you still say that we have great interests?"

"Yes. You are indeed incomparable to Heaven, but just because Heaven is too powerful and rich, you won't get much benefit from being with them. Although you are not rich, you at least know how to cooperate fairly with me. Here you go For help, you will thank me with equal rewards. But Heaven cannot do this. Heaven is too powerful. They always think that we are their people. They always think that we should do things for them, although they also give me There is a small fee, but that is naked exploitation. They eat meat and soup and only let me lick the plate. Do you want me to help you or them? "

"So you are really at a loss!" Yin Yao nodded.

I smiled and said, "So don't imitate Heaven. Eat meat and at least leave some soup for me."

"Why don't you eat meat yourself?"

"If you want to eat meat, you have to hunt those meaty things. I don't have your fangs and claws, so I'd better just drink some soup and be more stable."

Yinyao laughed wildly: "Hahahaha. This is the funniest joke I have ever heard. It sounds like you are weak."

"Hey! You don't know my suffering! Even my own life safety is not guaranteed. A lot of people are looking at my position. Everyone wants to overturn everything I have worked hard to build and then stand here by myself. In this position, who knows how hard I work! It’s so cold up here!”

Bi Tuo said: "I am a rough man, I can't understand what you are saying, but Yin... Yin... what do you call Yin? Forget it, I'll just call you Ziri! I can't understand what you are saying, But here we only talk about strength and grudges. We monsters don't like to talk about those 'messy' things. As long as there is kindness, we will repay it, and we will fight where there is hatred. You have helped us a lot this time. The four of us have discussed it Passed. We plan to ask you to do another small favor, and we can repay you by the way."

"Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean? I don't understand. Are you saying you're repaying me by asking me to help?"

Shuixu pushed Bi Tuo aside, walked out and said, "This guy is stupid, come with us, and we will tell you slowly."

Yinyao immediately came over and grabbed me: "That's right. Come in with me quickly and we'll sit down and talk. By the way, tell me, sister, how do you take care of your skin? It's as smooth as cold jade."

"Please, don't take the opportunity to get stuck!" I wanted to push Yin Yao's claws away. Unfortunately, Silver Moon's power was too small and she didn't react at all.

"Sister, I'm a girl. I don't care anymore. What are you, a grown man, afraid of?"

"Are you a girl? Please, you're too old to do this, right?"

Yin Yao laughed wildly and said: "Haha, let me tell you a secret. Our black-spotted king python has a lifespan comparable to that of a divine dragon. When converted to human age, I should be only 24 years old, although I am not an ignorant girl. There is still a lot of time left with the old woman. Is there a big gap?"

Bi Tuo smiled at the side and said: "Yinyao, you are really stubborn and will not change your nature. You can pick up yang and replenish yin to see who you are! This is our great benefactor."

As he talked, he had arrived at the inner hall. None of the monsters outside dared to follow him. Except for the four guardians, they all stood outside the door and took the initiative to close the door.

Shuixu sat down and said: "The small favor Bi Tuo told you just now is actually risky, but compared with the benefits, it is still quite cost-effective. Originally, you should be able to complete this favor easily, but now...!" Shuixu stretched out his hand and gestured to my body. "so……!"

"It doesn't matter." I said, "I'm not alone, there are people in my guild."

"Well, I'm afraid you can't bring people from your own guild."

"Why?"

"Because what we want you to do is to go to the abandoned Demon King's Palace to help us get back the Demon King's Brand Ring. That place is now closely monitored by Heaven. If your people are discovered, I'm afraid it won't be good for your guild. excellent."

"Then it won't be the same if I'm discovered?"

"You don't have to worry." Shui Xu said: "Your soul is wrapped in a large number of resentful spirits. In order to prevent monsters like us from entering, the guards there have specially set up a spiritual manifestation array. Once you enter that area, all invisibility and other spells will be blocked. It will lose its effect, and the disguise will not work at all. What can be seen within the scope of that large array is not you but your soul. There are many ways to track souls in heaven. If people from your guild go with you, they will definitely was traced. But your soul is wrapped in a large group of resentful spirits, and no one can directly see your soul. So no one can track you through the soul-locking technique. If your body of Silver Moon and that body of Ziri are If we share the same soul, there should be no possibility of being discovered, and the innocent soul is your disguise."

"Then I can't defeat the guards alone!"

Qiong Lin took out a crystal ball from his clothes. "This is a memory bead. It contains the secret passage map of the Demon King's Palace. You can use the secret passage to sneak in secretly and try not to be discovered by the guards. If it doesn't work, you can use the mechanisms of the Demon King's Palace to deal with the guards. Anyway, you don't want to Destroy the guards. Just get the Ring of Brand."

"You said this is to repay me. What good does it do me to help you get this brand ring?"

"There are many treasures in the Demon Palace. When we were surrounded and suppressed, we didn't take anything away at all. The gods in heaven can't find our things. As long as you get them, they will all be yours."

I showed a knowing smile: "Understood. Another question. Why don't you go by yourself?"

Qiong Lin said angrily: "Don't you think we haven't tried it? Heaven just doesn't want monsters like us to enter. Monster traps are set up at all intersections. As long as the monsters get close, everything will be over. You are not a monster. Although There is an innocent soul but it will not trigger the warning circle. Apart from you, there is nothing we can do."

"Hey, that's right. Do you think it's feasible if I find a few people from outside the guild to help?"

"That's okay." Shui Xu said: "As long as your guild is not involved, it will be fine. Just find some scattered adventurers to help. Heavenly Court found that they are just scattered personnel and must think that we hired these people. Heavenly Court It’s not enough to attack these retail investors. So you don’t have to worry about them leaking your information because they are jealous of you for implicating them. But you must find people you have not contacted before, so as not to be found out by the heaven and cause trouble. "

"I'm good at this."

After taking the recording bead, I carefully memorized all the information about the Demon King's Palace. This bead is a real thing, and it may become evidence if I take it out. So memorizing it by heart is the safest way. After memorizing all the key points, he returned the bead to Qiong Lin and quickly returned to Essinger. As soon as I arrived at the conference room, I bumped into Erlangshen. Fortunately, I didn't take the beads out.

"Yinyue?" After Erlangshen recognized me, he immediately helped me up, but his expression suddenly changed and he asked sternly: "Why do you have such a strong evil spirit in you?"

Oops! I just came out of the monster den, so it's strange that I don't have any monster energy on my body. But I am not an ordinary person. The more I am afraid of this kind of thing, the easier it is to reveal my secret, so I might as well do the opposite. "Hey, don't mention it!" I first used my actions to set the tone for Erlangshen, making him feel that I was wronged.

"What happened?" Erlang Shen was indeed tricked. The blame has become a question.

"After Heaven asked me to investigate, didn't I tell you that the place might be a trap?"

"Yes." Erlang Shen nodded and said: "Just before I came, the Jade Emperor was still regretting that he didn't listen to your suggestion and investigate thoroughly before sending troops rashly. I didn't expect to encounter such a big loss. This time it is really a big loss!"

I pretended to be sad and said: "Anyway, I was the one who sent the message. Although I warned you that it might be a trap, I feel sad because we failed to find out and you suffered such a big loss!"

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault." Erlangshen has completely forgotten the purpose of questioning me just now.

The interruption is over, now I need to quickly get things back on topic. Just interrupting can only hide it for a while. After returning, Erlangshen will become more suspicious. But it was different when I brought the off-track topic back to me, which showed that I was open-minded and had nothing to hide. The classic tactic of playing hard to get is also very suitable for deceiving people. I then said: "Didn't Lord Shen just ask me why I am full of evil spirit?"

"That's right!" Erlangshen suddenly remembered that I had serious evil spirits. But at this time, he didn't think about the bad things at all.

I explained: "Seeing that you were so badly damaged, I planned to find out what happened, but guess what happened to me?"

"What did you hit?"

"I met a group of monsters. They were always nearby when you attacked Heiliang Mountain, but because the monster energy in Heiliang Mountain was too strong to cover everyone's feelings, we didn't notice it. I happened to go there just now When I encountered them, I planned to follow them all the way to see where their lair was so that I could come back and report to heaven to compensate for my mistakes. Unexpectedly, I was discovered halfway. Thanks to my cleverness, I hid in place and released the fake target. I lured the demons away, otherwise it would be really dangerous. But even though I was discovered, it was a blessing in disguise."

"Oh? What's going on?"

"Among those monsters, there were actually four monster guardians. They were talking not far from where I was hiding. If I hadn't buried myself underground at that time, and there was a city nearby, and the popularity of it had covered my breath, I would have been able to Their abilities will definitely detect me. But because of these coincidences, I was not discovered. They were talking and laughing near me about how successful their plan was, and then I heard a secret."

"What secret?"

"They were discussing how to get something from some demon palace. It was a little far away, so I couldn't hear them clearly."

Erlangshen immediately stared at the boss when he heard this. "Are they talking about the Demon King's Palace?"

"Yes, yes, that's the place."

"I didn't expect them to give up." Erlang Shen said: "But it doesn't matter. There is a howling dog guarding the door. No monster can sneak in."

faint! No wonder the monsters couldn't get in, and the Inugami was squatting at the gate guarding it for a long time! I quickly took the opportunity to inquire about the information: "How many guards has the Lord God arranged? If the demon clan wants to enter that place, it must be a bad thing. We should be on guard."

"Don't worry." Erlang Shen said confidently: "In addition to the Howling Heaven Dog, there are also Lingde Divine Generals and ten thousand heavenly soldiers guarding there. With those large formations, it won't be a problem to defend it for three to five days. The Howling Heaven Dog still has me hanging around its neck. If they can't stop them, they will use the flying talisman to notify Heaven for reinforcements. Counting the time it takes for the talisman to fly back, we can arrive in three to five hours at most." Erlang Shen suddenly said mysteriously to Xixi : "Let me tell you a secret. There is actually a Qilin hidden under the Demon King's throne in the Demon Palace in that place. As soon as the monsters move the throne, the Qilin will immediately rush out. Just the top-level Skyfire Qilin can defeat the monsters."

Fortunately, I had the foresight to ask first. If I ran over hastily, I would still have to peel off my skin, and it would be even more miserable if I was caught as an active criminal. I have to let Shuixu send a few little demons to make a feint attack first, and then I find a few temporary workers to follow me and 'touch' in from behind. As for the unicorn, I can't think of a way at the moment. Under the throne is the entrance to the secret room. The brand is in the treasure room. How can I get it if the Kirin is also in it?

Anyway, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge, so you can think of a solution later. First chat with Erlangshen for a while, and then send him away. As soon as Erlangshen left, I quickly turned around and went back to the demon headquarters, and told Shuixu the general situation. Shuixu patted his head and said: "It's strange that every time the little demons sent were discovered even if they crawled in through the secret passage. It turns out that the Xiaotian Dog is a guard in the Demon Palace. Gods are originally sensitive to our demonic energy. This There is also an Inugami, so there will be ghosts if you can get in!"

I nodded and said, "Anyway, you should send a team to feign an attack tonight. It's best if the team is bigger. It doesn't have to be a 'suicide' attack. You can just pretend to be defeated."

"Okay, I'll arrange this." Shui Xu nodded and agreed.

I also nodded: "Then leave the other things to me. Just wait for my news."
