Archdemon

Slater followed the etiquette, left the palace, and returned to his temporary residence.

This is a place in the city of Malshem Fortress.

After he returned to the room, he quickly took out a rune array from the space equipment.

This is a rune array for communication. After Slater placed the array in full, he placed high-concentration resources on it and activated the array.

The next moment, the resources placed on the rune array were quickly ignited, and a signal was transmitted from the rune array.

This signal passed through layers of purgatory worlds and finally came to the center of the bronze fortress and came to Huo Ling.

Huo Ling closed his eyes and responded to this call.

In front of Slater, above the rune array, Huo Ling's projection appeared.

This is a magical scene that can only be used for communication. This Huo Ling's projection does not have any power.

After seeing the projection of Holling, Slater quickly bowed and said respectfully: "My Lord, I am incompetent and have not completed your task."

Slater was extremely ashamed and annoyed.

Holing was a little disappointed, but he still said: "Okay, I am not here to listen to your confession, tell me what happened again!"

Slater hurriedly began to tell the story, mainly about his communication with Asmodeus.

While Slater was telling the story, Holling interrupted from time to time and asked for more details.

Finally, Slater finished telling all the conversations.

Slater lowered his head and waited for Holling to finish thinking.

Holing, who was far away in Avernus, pondered after listening to the story.

He looked down and saw a secret room cage. Zariel, who was imprisoned and tortured by Bayer, was still trapped in this cell.

Holing even arranged a powerful legendary undead of the brilliant moon as a guard.

Although Zariel was not tortured at this time, he was still fixed on the metal cage.

From the conversation between Asmodeus and Slater, it is inevitable to see what Asmodeus wants.

He needs Zariel alive!

Asmodeus is undoubtedly powerful. When Huo Ling was promoted to Duke, he only knew that he was very strong, but he did not have a complete concept of how strong he was.

But when Huo Ling reached this strength now, he recalled Asmodeus's strength again and still felt that he was very threatening and dangerous.

Asmodeus is much stronger than Huo Ling imagined.

And being strong, in many cases, means knowing more.

It is not impossible for a stronger person to be omniscient and omnipotent.

From Asmodeus's conversation, it is not difficult to analyze that perhaps he knew that it was Bayer who imprisoned Zariel.

Even including Bayer's torture of Zariel, he may know it clearly.

In this case, it is not surprising that Asmodeus knows that Zariel is in Huo Ling's hands!

The only question now is whether it is worthwhile to release Zariel.

If Huo Ling keeps Zariel, she will have no other purpose except to be a slave girl to vent her desires.

A living Zariel will definitely not serve Huo Ling, the former vassal.

If Zariel is killed, a legendary undead of the Shining Moon level can be obtained.

However, although Huo Ling needs such a powerful undead, he does not have so many needs for Zariel.

Killing the Lord of the Abyss can also obtain the Shining Moon Undead.

After killing Zariel, it is not known what Asmodeus will think at that time.

After all, Bayer and Zariel have such a great hatred, he did not kill Zariel in the end, and Huo Ling did not dare to gamble at this time.

If he does not kill or release, then Huo Ling can obviously only be a temporary monarch, which is not perfect.

If Zariel was released, Huo Ling was also worried that Asmodeus would not meet his request.

Huo Ling thought about it and was really a bit overwhelmed.

He said to Slater: "I already know the situation!"

"You continue to stay in Malshem now, and contact me if there is any situation!"

Slater nodded heavily and said: "Yes, my lord!"

Huo Ling extinguished his projection, and he teleported out of the Mage Tower and directly teleported to Zariel's cell.

The Huiyue Undead in it retreated outside very smartly after Huo Ling came in.

Huo Ling entered the cell and looked at Zariel wantonly.

Zariel also opened her eyes, she looked at Huo Ling with a smile on her face.

Huo Ling saw her smile and said: "It seems that you are here, my lord."I'm quite happy in this cell!"

Zariel's smile became more obvious, and she said: "Of course!"

"Compared to being tortured by Bayer every day, having my flesh and blood cut off with a knife every day, and having my strength devoured by Bayer every day."

"I feel that I have been very happy in the past few years."

"At least, I can sleep. I haven't had a normal sleep for many years before."

"My Lord, how about letting you stay in this cell?" Huo Ling smiled.

"If you really want to, I can also rest here!" Zariel smiled.

"I have a question for you." Huo Ling asked seriously.

Zariel raised his eyebrows and said: "I am in your cell now. If you have any questions, just ask directly."

"Don't worry, I will answer honestly. Don't be like Bayer, who tortures me when he is in a bad mood! "

Zariel even laughed as he spoke.

Obviously, torture was not something unbearable for Him.

Huo Ling ignored Zariel's joke and asked, "Why didn't Bayer kill you?"

Zariel said, "Why did he kill me?"

"He betrayed you, occupied your position as the great lord, and devoured your power."

"Before I attacked him, he already knew that I was going to do it. He had enough time to kill you or devour you, but why didn't he do it?"

Huo Ling asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Zariel couldn't help but smile and shook his head and said, "Mr. Huo Ling, your experience in political struggle is still not enough."

"Purgatory, the politics of the devils, is not a simple fight and kill!"

"Even if Bayer killed me, there would not be much benefit, so why did he kill me?"

"If he was worried that I would successfully restore the throne, then he would have no reason to kill me, because even if I restored the throne, I would not kill Bayer. "

"Perhaps, I will continue to appoint him as my dark general!"
