Archdemon

Manu led Huo Ling into the palace of the Hell Demon.

Compared with the elves' architecture, the devils' architecture is simpler, of course, simplicity is not rough.

Devils are creatures of order and evil. They are born evil, but they also follow order.

Their architecture has a very obvious sense of lines, and the interior of the building has hardly been decorated.

Huo Ling walked through the corridor with smooth walls. The candlesticks on both sides of the corridor were burning with blue candles. It is not quite correct to call them candlesticks.

Some of these candlesticks are hung on the wall with the heads or whole bodies of demons, and some are made of twisted soul shells, with candles inserted in their brains.

If you get close enough, you can even hear the wailing of souls inside.

Entering a hall, the Hell Demon sat high on the cold steel throne.

The Hell Demon is not very tall, only more than four meters. Compared with demons, the strength of demons cannot be simply judged by body size.

The skin of the Hell Demon is red, with fine scales on it as natural armor. There is a pair of wide wings behind him, and a few hideous skulls are hung on his slender tail as decorations.

Devils are different from demons. Devils have a complete social system. The Hell Demon exists as a superior devil. They are usually generals of the devil nobles, or they own a territory.

So generally speaking, the Hell Demons are very rich, and this wealth is also reflected in their equipment.

The Hell Demon in front of him is wearing thick armor, with the Purgatory runes on it connected into pieces, and a faint magic glow lingering on the armor. From time to time, black smoke flies out of the armor, and then is absorbed back again.

"Manu... Is this the mercenary you mentioned?" The Hell Demon sat on the throne, one hand on the armrest of the throne, the other hand on his chin, and his long nails rubbing his chin.

"Yes, Lord Tate!"

"Huo Ling... Meet Lord Tate!!" Huo Ling was in the posture of a dragon man at this time, and he also bowed his head slightly.

"Hmm... Interesting red dragon... Why did you choose to become a necromancer?" The voice of the Hell Demon Tate came from above.

Huo Ling hurriedly said: "I like necromancy... So I learned these."

Tate stood up from the throne, and his figure cast a large shadow on the floor under the reflection of the candlelight. He said: "Very good! Then little dragon... How many troops can you command in the undead army?"

Huo Ling thought for a while, and now is the time to raise his price. He said: "I can currently fight with 100 gold-level horror knights, 2,000 silver-level dark warriors... and about 10,000 black iron-level skeleton soldiers."

Tate, who was standing on a high place, was speechless for a while when he heard this. He thought that the undead army in the scene he saw from Manu was all of Huo Ling's military strength, but he didn't expect that he would have so many undead soldiers.

Tate laughed, his laughter echoed in the hall, he slowly sat back on the iron throne, he said: "Very good! A very powerful legion, I look forward to you joining the Count of Lovisa... So, what is the hiring price you want?"

Here it comes, the critical moment has finally arrived, Huo Ling looked at Manu.

Manu was not timid at this time. Although the Yugroths were greedy, they were qualified businessmen who would do things for money.

Manu said to the Hell Devil: "Lord Tate... Huo Ling is still my mercenary at this time, so I think I have the right to negotiate the hiring price for him."

Tate moved his eyes away from Huo Ling and turned to look at Manu, "Oh... Then what do you think the hiring price of Huo Ling should be?"

"Lord Tate, you have seen Huo Ling's strength, I think a pioneering order is a suitable hiring price for him!" Manu said loudly.

"Manu... do you know what you are talking about?" Tate sat on the throne, leaned down slightly, and stared at Manu with a suspicious look.

Manu had already entered the posture of a businessman negotiating at this time, and began to raise the value of Huo Ling from the strength of Huo Ling and the number of undead legions he had.

Then he talked about what he learned in Lovisa, began to belittle the development of Lovisa, and even said from various places that Lovisa was not safe enough, and even the surrounding areas of the territory could be attacked by demons.

"Enough!!" Tate's claws slammed on the armrest of the throne. The huge force made the armrest of the steel throne twisted, and a huge claw mark appeared on the armrest.

"My lord! I think thisIt's a suitable price! ! "But Manu was not frightened by Tate's roar, he was still talking...

Huo Ling had already looked at Manu with admiration. Although this yugoloth was greedy, he really did things.

Finally, after Manu's long negotiation, Tate finally lost. He waved his hand weakly and said, "Okay! Just do as you say!"

"Manu... Go away quickly after you go out. I don't want to see you again, otherwise I really can't help but tear you apart!" Tate's claws kept pinching the armrests of the throne, and his sharp nails cut the steel of the throne.

"My lord... I believe that when I come next time, I will definitely bring you more suitable goods! ! "Manu's smile remained unchanged, and he knelt slightly to salute Tate.

Tate waved his hand and said, "Now... you can terminate the contract with him. I will order people to give you the benefits you introduced when the payment is settled!"

Manu nodded happily, then he closed his eyes and terminated the employment contract with Huo Ling in his mind.

Tate, who was on the throne, was also drafting a new employment contract at this time, and then sent the contract to Huo Ling.

Hiring Manu to negotiate for him was indeed the most correct decision Huo Ling made this time.

After a long negotiation, Manu finally won the conditions he wanted for Huo Ling.

You only need to work for Tate for half a year to get Tate's recommendation and get a pioneering order from Count Lovisa. At the same time, during this half year, , and he can also get a salary of 80,000 disaster coins every month.

Huo Ling took over the contract. During this period, he also concentrated on learning various hell characters and runes. He would never look at the runes of the contract and fail to understand their meanings again.

He checked the contract over and over again, and then carefully left his soul mark on it.

Tate on the throne did not have any impatience with Huo Ling's actions. It is the virtue of every devil to check the contract carefully.

Foolish people who do not check the contract carefully will often be enslaved for life.
