An Ordinary Fantasy Adventure in the Continent of Faerun

Chapter 562: Gargos's Bizarre Adventure

‘It can’t be such a coincidence. ’

Looking at the two pieces of equipment that looked so familiar, Noshier instinctively couldn’t believe that there was such a coincidence in the world, but until he really touched them, the names of the equipment that appeared on the panel immediately broke his luck.

‘[Dark Prison Armor] and [Soul Capture Gloves], aren’t these two things Raphael’s collection? ’

Noshier looked at the display on the panel again with uncertainty, and then showed an even more ghostly expression. That’s right, it’s definitely not wrong. It’s not that I’m dazzled, the panel will definitely not show errors, and my memory will definitely not be wrong. These two pieces of equipment are definitely weapons and equipment that can only be collected from Raphael’s house if you successfully defeat him in the game!

And that means! The former palace of Gargos is actually Raphael’s current County of Hope? !

'Wait, I remember Gargos once said that in hell, if a high-ranking devil disappears or falls, all his assets will be plundered by later comers or distributed among more powerful devils. Considering that Gargos was sealed within this thousand years, and Raphael seems to have risen successfully in the past thousand years, the life situations of the two seem to be connected. Raphael's father, the great devil Mephisto, is also able to help his son easily compete for this inheritance. '

If the truth is really like this, then this coincidence can be explained, although it is really a bit unbelievable, all this is really just a coincidence.

However, although the question about coincidence has been explained, Noshil still doesn't understand what kind of reason made Gargos rob Raphael's treasure house?

To please himself? There is this possibility, but Noshil doesn't believe that this guy's purpose is so simple. There must be something else that happened to make Gargos do this relatively redundant behavior.

"My master, your expression seems a little strange. Did I do something wrong?"

Gargus noticed that Noshir's expression seemed a little wrong, so he immediately asked Noshir cautiously in a cautious tone.

"No, there is nothing wrong. The things you brought are indeed a considerable fortune, and there are two legendary equipments among them, which are rare treasures. So in fact, I am actually very satisfied with your tribute."

"Then... why?"

"You want to ask why my expression became so wrong? I can answer this question for you, and the answer is actually very simple, because I know the unlucky guy who was robbed by you, and I know the devil named Raphael."

Almost at the moment when Noshir finished speaking, Gargus's body immediately stiffened, and all kinds of associations emerged wildly in his mind. His heart became extremely flustered for a while, but in the end, Gargus still managed to force himself to calm down, and then stuttered to Noshir.

"So-so! Ha! Ha! There are such coincidences in this world! No... But, my master, am I..."

"Don't worry, Gargus. If you know my temper, you will understand that I am definitely not friendly to the devil race. Except for very few cases, I will never meet other devils again after the first meeting."

Does it mean that I am that very special case? All the unlucky people except me died after meeting? Gargus secretly vomited in his heart, but he didn't dare to say his thoughts out loud, because it would be very likely that Noshier would throw him out of those very special cases.

But anyway, after hearing Noshier's explanation, Gargus was indeed relieved. He didn't want to flatter the horse's leg. If this tribute, which seemed to please him, caused Noshier's dissatisfaction, or even directly caused him to get killed, then his fate would become funny and full of black cold humor.

"That's great..."

"However, Gargus, I still have a question in my mind. I want to know why you want to do such a thankless task? I remember that I just asked you to retrieve the alchemical raw materials needed. It's enough to retrieve those raw materials. This is the "task" I gave you, but why do you do things outside the task?"

"My purpose, of course, is to show my sincerity! The reason why I do this is to completely draw a line with my previous self, to show that I will completely surrender to you from now on..."

"I believe you, Gargus, I believe that what you said is absolutely true, but I also know that just to please me is definitely not the whole reason to support you to do such a thing. What else do you have to hide from me, right, Gargus?"

"..."

Gargus was silent, because what Noshier said was indeed true. He didn't rob Raphael's treasure house just to please Noshier. The result of pleasing Noshier was just a by-product. There was indeed another reason for supporting Gargus to do this, but this reason...

‘What...what should I do? ! Isn’t this guy’s intuition too keen? He was so naturally suspicious of my motives! Ah, that's not good. This is really not good. Will he think I'm plotting rebellion? Would he think that the reason why I ransacked that place was to attract the attention of other devils in some way that he didn't know, or to use some riddle to secretly send signals to other devils? Today, when he has something to hide, in this situation, it is probably normal for him to have such suspicions, but the problem is, I really don't have this idea! ’

‘The contract in hell is very strict, and now I have put all my property and life in his hands. It is impossible for me to betray him, but how can I explain it? Could it be that I just told him directly that the most important reason why I ransacked that place was not to dedicate these treasures to you and please you. The reason why I did this was just to get revenge on that person for blaspheming me. The bastard who once lived in a palace! ’

Gargas' mind became even more painful. For a moment, he even began to regret that he had looted Raphael's treasury, but as long as Gargas thought about how he would be there when he returned to his former palace in high spirits, After seeing everything in the palace, all these regrets disappeared in an instant.

His thoughts could not help but go back to a few hours ago. When Gargas returned to his luxurious palace with the light generated by the last transmission, the first thing he felt was the kind of light that hit his face. Depravity and despair, looking around, the whole palace is filled with wailing and desperate souls, dead souls who are numb at work, and countless people who have lost their souls long ago, leaving only a soulless body, and debts that can never be paid off. A "debtor" who is burdened with debt.

For a real devil, this scene is no different from them and "heaven". The painful wail of the soul is the most beautiful poetry, and the face of despair of the body is the most joyful performance. Everything here seems to be better than him. When he was still there, it was even more "beautiful", and he enjoyed the elegant atmosphere extremely.

For a moment, Jiagas even felt that the guy who took away his palace did not insult the reputation of his former master. Although he was still very unhappy that his former palace was now occupied by others, Jiagas now In such a miserable situation, he lost his freedom, could not survive in hell, and it was impossible for him to regain his palace.

So despite all his reluctance, Gargas sighed resignedly, and then carried out the task assigned to him by Nohir. With the great devil's ability and ability, as the former owner, he was able to find out the secret door of the palace. Understood, he quickly got what he wanted, and then left here and returned to the military factory.

But for some reason, perhaps because of longing or other inexplicable emotions, Gargas finally decided to take a walk around his former palace before leaving to see what it had become like today, but at that time Gargas did not expect how regretful and angry this sudden decision would make him later.

What made him angry at first was the decoration that could be seen everywhere in the palace. At that time, Gargas didn't know the name of the current owner or what he looked like, but that guy with no taste at all transformed his palace beyond recognition. , the entire palace was full of portraits and statues of that narcissist, making it difficult for Gargas not to recognize him.

And if that's all, after all, these big devils are more or less narcissistic. Although this guy named Raphael exaggerated a bit, not only did he destroy the statue of the former owner of this palace, that is, himself. He even filled the entire palace with his portraits and statues, but Gargas could still understand.

But after that, when Gargas continued to wander around the palace, he actually discovered a mortal bound by the chains of hell deep in the dungeon at the bottom of the palace! He couldn't bear it anymore!

As a pure devil, Gargas has always regarded himself as the top of the world, and regards all things weaker than himself as inferior species. He maintains the arrogance of being a devil alone and looks down on every mortal equally. thing, but what does he see now? An ordinary mortal, a remnant that could be crushed to death with one little finger, was actually tied up with the highest-grade hell chains? Even keeping a beholder around as a watcher?

God, how incompetent is the ruler here that he would tie up a crazy mortal here with so many things? Is it possible that he can't even deal with such a weak remnant? If not, how boring would he be to waste such precious resources in this place?

As an abyssal fiend who had experienced countless bloody battles in the abyss, crawled out of the devil's corpse, and finally rose to a high position, Gargas could not understand Raphael's behavior at all! He just felt that placing such a weak guy here in such a high-level way was a complete waste of resources and a desecration of his palace!

You must know that before he was sealed, the monsters he imprisoned in this dungeon were high-level demons like the six-armed snake demon. He had not even imprisoned the Balor Fire Demon before. But now - a mortal? Gargoth himself almost laughed in anger.

He almost instinctively wanted to raise his hand and slap the fragile mortal into a pulp, but at that moment, Gargus suddenly remembered the hell contract he and Noshir had signed.

As early as after the contract was signed, Noshir directly used the contract to restrict Gargus, so that Gargus could never take the initiative to attack any mortal. Even if he was attacked by a mortal, his priority was to retreat. This was not enough for Gargus to take the initiative to hurt anyone. Even when he encountered others in need of help, Gargus could not pretend not to see it. Even if there was no direct order from Noshir on the scene, he had to do his best to help those in need out of trouble.

After thinking about this, Gargus's mood instantly became worse. Looking at the mortal in front of him who was hung up by the hell chain, Gargus had no choice but to kill the eye demon guards on the scene with thunder and lightning, and then used hell magic to take the initiative to unlock the hell chain.

Then he opened a portal to the main material plane on the spot, transformed himself into a mortal adventurer, helped the tortured mentally ill poor person into the temple of Ilmet, and after making sure that she would be properly treated, he sneaked out of the temple, found a deserted place, opened a portal and returned to Hope County again.

Then he came back this time simply to take revenge, because Gargos had just violated his devil nature under the constraints of the Hell Contract and rescued a mortal, and for a pure-blooded hell devil, if this behavior was brought to a mortal, it would be as uncomfortable as forcing him to eat a pile of shit.

So he had to find someone to vent his shame and anger, and Raphael was the target of revenge he chose, Gargos thought so.

If Raphael, the bastard, had not killed a mortal in the dungeon, he would not have met her in the dungeon, and would not have violated his devilish nature to save people under the constraints of the Hell Contract. So in summary, he had to beat Raphael up to relieve his hatred.

With this idea in mind, Gargos quickly found Raphael's location, which was his bedroom, and then he saw an even more eye-catching scene.

A male demon who looked exactly like Raphael was wearing a leather jacket that was as little as possible, with only stripes left, and was fucking Raphael on the bed.

God has mercy on him. Gargos thought he had seen torture in hell, but even he couldn't accept what was happening. Gargos wanted to poke his eyes out on the spot. In fact, he did so later, but maybe it was because of perseverance. In short, after Gargos poked his eyes out, he burst out with greater fighting power for a while, so in the end, he succeeded in getting the gold, silver, treasures and magic equipment in front of him in a perfect way without anyone noticing.

At this moment, after listening to Gargos' inner voice, Noshil was rarely silent.

Originally, he thought that Gargos would do such a thing, and there must be a deeper reason. The biggest factor was that from the perspective of a great devil, such flattering behavior was a bit too embarrassing. Such a quick surrender was not like what a former demigod devil would do, but now.
