Arthur stood on the suspended passage, and the blazing flames below seemed about to erupt at any time.
"This is truly an unprecedented journey."
Arthur muttered as he staggered up the passage.
At this moment, he felt like an acrobat, walking on a tightrope that could make him fall off at any moment.
As he continued to get closer, he suddenly discovered that the Ten Thousand Demons Palace seemed to be gradually getting bigger.
When he actually crossed the fire bridge, he looked up at the golden hall, which seemed to be thousands of feet high, and he was like an ant walking underground.
Arthur didn't mind this, as it would allow him to hide his body better, and he could also get in directly through the gap under the door.
After entering, the first thing he saw were seven huge statues, among which Arthur only recognized Beelzebub and Mammon.
Their whole bodies are made of gold, and just looking at them will make people very tempted.
At this moment, footsteps could be heard faintly in the distance.
Arthur hurriedly hid behind the statue and saw a demon with a bull's head and a human body and a demon as thin as a bamboo pole slowly walking over from a distance.
"Have you heard? Marsit was actually killed!"
The bull-headed demon said to the bamboo-pole demon in a naive voice.
"Yeah! I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
The two of them were talking as they passed in front of Arthur.
The two demons were almost the same size as Arthur, which made him somewhat relieved.
At this time, I heard the bamboo pole demon continue to say: "He is an official of Lord Mammon. His death will not be blamed on us, right?"
The bull-headed demon sighed in horror, and then said angrily: "Then I gave him the container, but he still failed. If you ask me, he is really a waste."
"Is that container really that good?"
"You don't know, that's the richest man in the world."
As Arthur listened, he immediately guessed that the container they were talking about was Meyer Child, who was killed by him, and the demon possessing him should be the demon Marcit in their mouths.
Seeing the two demons passing by in front of him, Arthur followed carefully behind him. With these two demons, he could use them to guide him.
Somehow the two demons were so absorbed in chatting that Arthur followed behind and never noticed.
After passing another golden gate, Arthur quietly followed behind and arrived at a cloud palace.
On the high throne sat Mammon, the demon king of greed.
The two demons immediately knelt on the ground. At this moment, the floor made of gold was stained red, and the blend of gold and blood shone with a strange brilliance.
And lying next to it was a demon with gray wings.
Seeing them come in, Mammon, who was originally lazy, gradually straightened up on the golden throne.
"Beelzebub called you here. Is there something you want to tell me?"
Mammon stared with two pairs of eagle eyes, as if if their answers were not to her liking, she would immediately eat the two demons.
"Master Beelzebub didn't say anything, he just wanted to remind you, sir, never be soft on people like them!"
The minotaur demon said carefully while looking at Mammon's face.
Mammon snorted in displeasure.
"Am I the kind of person who has a soft heart?"
The Minotaur doesn't make a sound, but among the 7 Demon Kings, Mammon is indeed not too violent.
But in fact, it's just because he likes games, and the number of souls captured by him is the most among the seven demon kings.
At this moment, the demon lying in a pool of blood looked at the two of them in supplication.
This demon named Surget was originally a subordinate of the Arrogant Demon King, but now he has been tortured like this by Mammon.
When the bamboo pole demon saw him looking at him, he was so frightened that he lowered his head, hoping that Mammon would not see him at this time.
But without thinking, Mammon shouted: "What's wrong, Galax? Why don't you intercede for your friend?"
Demon Gallux couldn't help but cry secretly, "Master Demon King, this is your gift to it, how can it be said to be suffering?"
Mammon couldn't help but glance at him.
Arthur had been lying under the giant door. He found that the space here was very special. Although he could see the entire scene in the hall, it seemed as if he was separated by another time and space.
"I didn't expect our friends to be here too, so come in quickly!"
The three demons below immediately looked around, but found no one.
Arthur also thought that Mammon was not talking about him, because there was a hidden magic circle painted under his feet.
"The human who drove Beelzebub back to hell, come in quickly! Don't you think that you can fool me with just a little bit of knowledge from Baphomet?"
This time Arthur finally knew that he had been exposed, so he stopped hiding and walked to the middle of the hall calmly.
Arthur carefully observed the hall up and down. It was covered with all kinds of precious gems, and Mammon seemed to be sitting in the universe.
Although his image is weird, in fact he is more like a god at this moment, and the entire hall is extremely brilliant.
Mammon seemed to have seen Arthur's thoughts and laughed and said: "The reason why I look like a god is because there are so many people who worship me. I am not as unhuman as Little Luci, nor like Baal." So hungry and not selective about food.”
Having said this, Mammon leaned out and looked at Arthur jokingly, "Because humans hope to get me, that's why I am loved by you. So, dear Mr. Doyle, what do you want from me? ?”
Just as Arthur was about to speak, Mammon suddenly raised another finger, "How about this! To show my sincerity, I can answer you a question at no cost? Please remember it's just one. I hope you can cherish it." he."
Arthur asked without hesitation: "Okay! Generous Demon King, I hope you can tell me why this palace appears here?"
Mammon seemed to have known that he would ask this question, and replied calmly and with a little cunning: "You are really a smart man. This question is very good, but in fact his reason is also very simple, that is, you humans call."
"The call of humanity?"
"Yes, because you hope that I can appear, this palace will appear here."
Arthur glanced around the palace made of pure gold, "Are these real?"
Mamen spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, your discount has been used up. If you want to know more, I have to exchange your things."
Arthur curled his lips, "Don't think I don't know, your answer just now is not the real answer."
Mammon was not embarrassed at all after being exposed by Arthur. She just shrugged her shoulders and said, "Free things must naturally have some moisture."
Arthur snorted coldly, and Mammon waved her hand, "Since you are here, why don't we play a game?"
"Playing games with a treacherous devil, I guess I'm not that crazy."
After Arthur finished speaking, he directly pulled out his exorcism revolver from his waist.
"Resorting to force, I think, is a retrograde behavior of human civilization. And you can't hurt me here, and of course I can't hurt you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Arthur turned his hand and aimed at the demon Garlux on the side and fired.
It hit him on the chest, and a ball of white flame immediately burned.
The demon Gallux kept rolling on the ground in pain, and let out an extremely miserable howl, but Mammon above clapped her hands excitedly and screamed.
"It's magic that I've never seen before. You are really different. You know, since I defeated Cu Chulainn, I have never met an opponent again."
In Celtic mythology, Cu Chulainn is the son of the Irish sun god Lugg Mac Esolon. He is a typical demigod hero.
But although he is very great, he is also very bloodthirsty. Cu Chulainn's violent character often brings misfortune to himself and others.
At that time, Mammon transformed into an old woman and deceived Cu Chulainn into eating poisonous food. Finally, three bards appeared and killed the half-human and half-god hero together.
Although this is an Irish folklore, it has been widely circulated. If I tell it personally in Mamen today, it is not just a legend.
"Dear friend, I have never liked violence. How about we make a bet?"
"What kind of bet?"
Arthur stared at Mammon, hoping to read something from his expression.
"Meyer Child's bet with me, now that you have killed him, how about completing his bet with me?"
"Meyer Child is dead? Shouldn't I have killed Marcit?"
Arthur said Marcit's name, which surprised Mammon. She couldn't help but clapped her hands and shouted: "Not a bad talent. If I guess wrong, it should be precognition, right?"
Mammon also stared into Arthur's eyes, but when Arthur heard the word "prediction", the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
"Why isn't it?"
Mammon began to think again. At this time, the demon Gallux, who had collapsed aside, finally extinguished the flames on his body. He couldn't help but look at the bull-headed demon.
Because they knew that it was probably because they had let Arthur know about it just now that they had leaked it, but no one wanted to be the honest person at this time.
Arthur did not give Mammon time to think, but snapped his fingers, "Tell me quickly about your bet with Meyer Child!"
Speaking of the bet, Mammon immediately laughed.
"My bet with Meyer Child is his body and this luxurious palace."
Arthur was surprised, "Isn't this the Temple of All Demons?"
"Dear friend, the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons is just a general term. In fact, you can think of it as a city. But this palace belongs to me alone, and it can also be regarded as a corner of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons."
This was the first time Arthur heard such a statement, but looking at Mammon's cunning look, he couldn't help but said rudely: "I'm not familiar with you, and I've never wanted to be friends with the devil."
