Mammon faced Arthur's sarcasm, but she was not angry at all.
"It's nothing, my friend, don't pay attention to those details. You must know that among the seven of us, only I have the least stories with those legendary heroes. I believe that we will compose a new epic together in the future. What do you think? How about calling it The Golden Bet between the hero Conan Doyle and the demon lord Mammon? It’s both poetic and very romantic.”
Arthur felt goosebumps all over his body. At this moment, the three demons next to him suddenly applauded.
"This will be a tragic story that will shock the entire demon world. It is indeed worthy of you, Lord Mammon."
Unexpectedly, that honest-looking bull-headed demon was surprisingly able to speak.
Even Mammon, who had never been very friendly to them, smiled at this moment, "It seems that you guys are not useless at all. Okay then! I'll leave you to send a message to a few of them. The story of this era is destined to be written by Mammon.”
The three demons agreed and crawled out of the palace as if they were being granted amnesty.
Arthur was the only one left in the hall, "I have thought about something epic happening with you, and even if it happens, I will kill you like a hero slaying a dragon."
"It's nothing, the world is like this. We all have a half chance of winning or losing, right? So do you accept the bet?"
Arthur nodded, "No problem, I'm willing to accept Meyer Child's bet."
Mammon immediately jumped up for joy, and suddenly said to Arthur doubtfully: "You don't seem to know what Meyer Child and I are betting on, right?"
Arthur shrugged his shoulders, "I guess he's looking for the Hell's Cube!"
Mammon looked at Arthur's eyes carefully, and after staring for a while, he said slowly: "Now I finally know what your unique ability is? It should be wisdom that has never appeared in a hero. .This is a difficult challenge, but I am happy to meet you."
"But to keep our bet strict, I want to reiterate that there are three Hell's Cubes in total, all in this manor, but what you want to find is the real Hell's Cube. Okay, let's see everything next. It’s yours.”
After saying that, Arthur was stunned. The palace in front of him disappeared in an instant, as well as the underground abyss and endless magma.
He was in a cave at the moment. Although everything just seemed to be an illusion, the hot air inside still gave him a premonition that if he didn't stop it, this place might really turn into a hell volcano in the future.
Arthur followed the passage and walked back into the secret room, where Joey Harlin was still lying in a pool of blood.
Arthur felt as if he was the nemesis of the Harlem and Charteris families. Every time he met them, something unfortunate would happen.
Irene and that Tosio brought it upon themselves, and now the deaths of Joey and Orlando were almost all caused by him.
Arthur actually had some scruples in his heart before, but now it seems that if this continues, the elites of the two families will almost let themselves be wiped out of trouble.
Arthur did not go to the scene and directly called the police. After the death of the leader Joey Harlin, these people could only look at me and I looked at you. In the end, they just took some notes. .
Of course Arthur shied away from everything, saying that he saw this when he came in.
The police officers looked at Joey Harlin's body with his heart dug out and the severely decomposed body next to it, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.
And this time another secret policeman died, which was even more shocking. After the police collected all the bodies, they all scrambled to escape from the manor.
James Bond did not leave, he knew that Arthur must know the details, and Arthur did not hide it, but he did not tell him about the part where he finally entered the Demon Palace and made a bet with the Demon King Mammon.
But this is already very bizarre. Fortunately, as a member of MI6, Bond is also a well-informed person.
"Then what should we do next? Can I fetch Elizabeth?"
Jabi really wants to see Elizabeth now.
Arthur couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "It's not possible now. If you really miss her, you might as well go to Kent County!"
Jabi did have this idea, but he was a little embarrassed to leave his good friend here alone.
"Forget it, I'll stay here with you! Once the situation is completely resolved, we will take over their whole family."
Arthur sighed, "I hope so! But now you have to help me find this?"
As he spoke, he took out two Hell Rubik's Cubes.
"Both of these are fake, and the other one is real. It should be hidden in this manor."
"Do you know who hid this thing here?"
Bond held the Rubik's Cube in his hand and asked the most crucial question.
What Arthur can be sure of now is that these three Rubik's Cubes must not be hidden here by the Demon King Mammon.
Although he always talks about games, Arthur doesn't believe that he is really that boring. At the same time, Arthur also firmly believes that the real hell magic should be very important to Mammon.
But apart from Mammon, the only other person left is the builder of this manor, Meyer Child.
But this is impossible, because he is still looking for these three Rubik's Cubes, and it took him several generations to find one.
Arthur couldn't help but raise his chin. Thinking about it now, he couldn't help but feel extremely melancholy.
We can't go through the entire manor!
And Meyer Child seems to have done this, otherwise where would the mezzanine passage behind the secret room come from.
From then on, we would often see Arthur standing in different places, alone in a daze.
Bond stayed for two days, and when he saw that he could not help, he went back to continue his case.
Arthur also wanted to understand the Hell Cube through the "Hell Bible", but so far, its explanation has not appeared. There are two more demons in it, one is Marsit and the other is the greedy demon Mammon.
Massit has been driven back to hell by him and is no longer important. Mammon, like Beelzebub, is classified as a high-level superior demon, almost all top beings.
His ability is to arouse human greed. He is the only demon who does not like violence, but Arthur feels that this Mammon is much more difficult to deal with than Beelzebub.
Because greed is almost the most obscure of all desires and the most difficult for humans to resist.
His power was so powerful that he could actually bribe the believers around Jesus through his temptations, causing the physical body of the Son of God to be destroyed in this world.
This also caught Arthur's attention. At the same time, he saw the lines on the Hell Rubik's Cube. He had always thought it was a formation because it had a five-pointed star engraved on it.
But now that I think about it, maybe it’s just a medal or a symbol on a coin.
With these professional questions, Arthur couldn't help but think of Father Belmont. He had said before that he could go to him when encountering difficulties.
There was no danger here for the time being, so Arthur simply rushed back to Scotland alone.
It had been almost half a month since he had been there. When Professor Bell saw him, he did not rush to ask about the case, but apologized to him first.
He felt that bothering Arthur at this time might affect his future path.
But to be honest, Arthur himself has not thought about what he will do in the future, so there is no reason to say that it will affect anything.
So he sat across from Professor Bell and first told Professor Bell what he had discovered and the recent cases.
Professor Bell broke out in a cold sweat. He was not very courageous to begin with, but he didn't expect that so many things would happen during Arthur's trip, so he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"Otherwise, let's forget it! This has been more than ten years ago. If Alex is still alive, I guess she has her own difficulties. If she is dead, what's the use of settling old scores!"
At this moment, Professor Bell finally passed the test in his heart. In fact, Arthur thought so too.
He has a feeling that if this case continues to be investigated like this, there will be results that no one wants to see.
But there was no guess, and Arthur didn't know whether he should hide it from his teacher.
After thinking for a while, he finally said carefully: "Teacher, does anyone else know about the anesthetic formula you studied before?"
Because Arthur knew that Professor Bell had not published any papers in this area, he asked this question.
Bell was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"Teacher, your research project has a serious hallucinogenic effect, which is stronger than opium."
Professor Bell nodded, how could he not know this!
But his research is more useful in anesthesia.
Then Arthur continued: "I checked with Holly Holmes and he has made further refinements."
Arthur said while looking at Professor Bell's expression.
Professor Bell nodded in recognition, because they had communicated with each other at that time, otherwise Olivia's father would not have made a new breakthrough so quickly.
Professor Bell's expression was completely in line with Arthur's guess, which meant that Professor Bell was not involved in the case.
At this time, Arthur was a little embarrassed. He knew whether to tell him or not, and he knew that there was a certain danger in the matter itself.
At this time, Professor Bell looked at Arthur and said nothing, and asked: "What's wrong with you? Is there any hidden secret that I don't know?"
"I went to Holly Holmes's house. Based on your research, he has purified the poppy, which is more than a hundred times more powerful than opium."
Professor Bell listened and couldn't help but smile happily, "He really succeeded."
It can be seen that he is really happy for the research results of his old friend.
