Chapter 413: negotiation

Barrett clutched his chest and dragged his exhausted body out of the arena. He saw the barb demon 'Mitanu' and the acupuncture demon 'Seg', waiting for him inside the gate as usual.

He looked indifferently at the acupuncture demon with only one arm left, and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you what?" The Barb Demon's expression was a little silly.

But the Needle Demon, who is one step lower than it, knows what Barrett wants to ask. "So what if I tell you?" said the devil, "for you, knowing something like this will only distract you in a gladiatorial fight. You'll be in a fight thinking about how to subdue your opponent and then ask for a ransom instead of using An easier way - just kill it."

Acupuncture Demon used his only arm to wipe his neck, "However, this kind of thinking is extremely dangerous. Not all opponents are like Lambert, who cares about their own lives. It is very likely that you When he wanted to keep his hand, the other party was planning to fight to the death. There..." He pointed behind Barrett, "Any pity and hesitation will only make oneself engulfed by the yellow sand."

"Then, what about you?" Barrett stepped over the two demons and staggered forward.

"For us, the reason is simpler." Acupuncture Demon followed behind him step by step, "Only if you play ten games, we can win precious promotion opportunities."

"So, if you redeem your freedom in advance, then we won't get anything." The barb demon with a silly face also understood at this time.

"It's not just that." The Needle Demon added, "We are likely to lose our current position immediately, be expelled from Mantiri, and go to the battlefield to serve as cannon fodder. And this is a better ending. The worse outcome is , we are likely to suffer downgrades and become the most miserable and filthiest 'villains', as human beings, you can't imagine how terrible a downgrade is for us demons."

Barrett stopped and turned his head to say something. But before he could speak, the barb demon Mitanu Xian screamed in horror, "Downgrade? Really? Seg, is what you said true? Lord Warden would really do this?"

The barbarian is not ignorant about demotion. He has heard from the soul merchants the terrifying meaning of this punishment to the devil before, so he also asked the same question as the barb demon, "You really will be punished like this. ?"

"The political game in the nine layers of **** is extremely dangerous, and any mistake may usher in the fate of being demoted." Acupuncture Demon replied, "The superiors like to use this method to spur their subordinates and make us anxious, so that we can Desperate to collect more souls."

……

Is this the soul?

Barrett held a forefinger-sized crystal prism in front of him, and observed the things inside the prism with full attention and a little blur.

It was a ghostly woman who was trapped in the prism and kept crying. She looked at Barrett outside the prism with frightened eyes, her lips parted and closed as if she was saying something, but Barrett couldn't hear the content at all.

"What a pure soul! Even through the soul prism, I can still smell the sweet smell it exudes." A female voice said intoxicated across the barbarian, "It has been at least two thousand years since this soul has passed, but It has not been taken out to drain the energy, and I have to say that this is a great miracle in itself."

Barrett looked away from the soul prism and looked at the owner of the voice.

It was a pure and beautiful woman, wearing a tulle-like purple dress with suspenders. The bulging fullness of the chest propped up the long skirt high, clearly revealing the two cute little and pointed things.

If this is not the nine hells, or some room in the horror prison 'Mantili', but a place similar to the main material plane and the 'Tent of Thorns', then Barrett can't say that it can't be compared with the gentle and intoxicating beauty in front of him. Ladies, have a warm and passionate in-depth exchange.

Unfortunately, the appearance of the woman on the other side is just a disguise, because she is a pleasure demon. Although the appearance of the Pleasure Demons is similar to the fallen angels, they are also very beautiful, but they prefer to incarnate in human form to hide their evil nature.

"The thousand souls that the vampire Lambert gave me are all here?" Barrett asked, pointing to the dark gray space pocket in front of him.

"If you don't believe it, you can count it yourself." The wet lips of the Pleasure Demon raised a graceful arc, "You must know that the Nine Hells are the spokesperson of 'Order' in the multiverse! Anyone who violates the contract and The demons of the agreement will be severely punished, and the plane itself will extremely reject them and refuse to grant them the power of hell."

Barry nodded, showing his understanding. He tied the bag on the table in front of him and weighed it casually in his hand, "About my freedom..."

"You want to use these souls to redeem your freedom?" The Pleasure Demon asked softly.

"Isn't it possible?" Barrett was suddenly a little nervous.

"Of course!" The Pleasure Demon's eyes were rippling like water, "Mantili encouraged the prisoners to redeem their behavior. One soul can be exchanged for more souls. I don't think anyone can refuse such a deal. However, you and The other prisoners were different, you volunteered to be a gladiator."

"What's the problem?" Barrett clenched the soul prism in his hand.

"This means that the freedom you get through redemption will be limited." The Pleasure Demon explained, "You can indeed leave Mantiri, but you cannot leave the city of Dis and return to the main material world. Unless

 …”

"Unless what?"

"Unless you can play ten games in the arena." Pleasure Demon stood up, walked out from behind the elegant mahogany table, and walked to Barrett, "It's not just you, every one of Diss Gladiators in the arena, if they want to be truly free, have to do this."

She put her soft palm on Barrett's shoulder, "This rule is set by the Lord of the City. If you want to be an exception, you can only ask Lord City for mercy. But that's more difficult than you win. Ten, twenty, or even thirty battles are even more difficult!"

It seems that he must continue to work **** the yellow sand, and Barrett sighed in his heart.

"Anyway, even limited freedom is much better than being a prisoner. How much is it worth?" Barbarian looked at the slender white hand on his shoulder, "I mean 'limited freedom'. Since it is limited , I think the price should not be too high."

"If I were you, I wouldn't do it." The Pleasure Demon circled from Barrett's left to the right. "You've won six games, Mr. Barrett. And with your strength, the other four will definitely be worthless. no problem!"

She jumped slightly and sat on the table in front of Barrett. Her long legs, which were covered by a hanging skirt, swayed up and down playfully, "If that's the case, why are you in such a hurry to get out of here?" Joy The devil pursed his lips, as if a little sad, and seemed to be waiting for a kiss.

"And the warden has promised you a series of special treatments. You don't need to pay such a high price for this extremely short period of freedom." Her hand gently stroked the space bag on the table. , "You can use these 'beautiful things' to find your way back into the material world after winning ten victories and getting out of prison~lightnovelpub.net~.

She retracted her palm from the bag, "I can tell you that it doesn't take so many souls to return to the price of the main material world, not even half of the amount. And for the rest, you can do Something good for me."

"for example?"

"Strengthen yourself." The Pleasure Demon said, "As long as you have three hundred souls, you can acquire the ability of 'fire immunity' like us. In addition, there are many other abilities as you choose. And these abilities will be controlled by A certain Lord of Hell has personally applied it for you to ensure that the side effects will be minimized."

Barrett was quite moved when he heard 'fire immunity', but after hearing 'side effects', he dismissed this thought. He dared not try the side effects in the devil's mouth.

"Or, you can buy some equipment and materials that are not available in the main material world." The Pleasure Demon continued, "You know, in hell, the soul is the strongest hard currency."

Well, this is a good choice. Barrett nodded thoughtfully.

"Of course, you can also use them to do things that make you happier." The Pleasure Demon whispered softly, "I promise, you've never experienced these happy things before." She held Barrett's grip With the palm of the soul prism, I placed it on my knee, and then moved upward and upward little by little.
