Chapter 48 It’s so evil!
The crackling sound of gunfire resounded, and the players’ belief in the caliber without any doubt penetrated Morrag’s belief in the Dragon God.
The golden scales were penetrated by lead bullets, and hot blood spurted into the air.
His pupils widened in disbelief, and finally fell to the ground in humiliation.
With the passage of life force, the swollen body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon became smaller than before like a punctured balloon.
It looks like a gecko that has been dried in the sun.
Looking at the high priest lying on the ground, Zelik, who was extremely angry, suddenly calmed down as if he had regained his consciousness.
He knows.
I have no chance of winning. Although I am still alive, it is no different from death.
"Zerik... remember my name, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost."
"That's right."
Luo Yan smiled faintly and said the words that made Zelik fall into an ice cave.
"Then I will let you get what you want."
At the same time as the words fell, Octor's scimitar pierced Zelik's chest with a pop.
The latter struggled for a while, then lost his breath and fell on his brother's body without saying a word.
Facing Arakdo's flattery, Luo Yan raised his hand indifferently, bringing an end to the fratricidal battle, and then used necromancy magic to awaken Zelik's corpse.
Luo Yan will not sympathize with them.
From his standpoint, all the monsters in the maze are traitors. Not only did they establish themselves as kings and attempt to split, but they also betrayed the faith of the devil.
I actually gave them a chance to surrender, which was unprecedented mercy in hell.
The first thing a demon king would do is to kill them all.
However, if it were another demon king who came over, he might just be tricked by the teleportation array in the first episode...
Luo Yan's only regret is that the experience of the big and small BOSS is worth sharing among dozens of people.
If he had it all to himself, he might be able to get hundreds of thousands more.
But even so.
The experience of more than 200,000 yuan is enough for him to advance.

That evil smile scared the latter half to death, and his entire face lost color at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, Luo Yan did not attack him, and even stopped the players who were about to make a move.
He is a reasonable person.
As long as they weren't the ones who owed him a hand and kept shouting to stop, he basically let them live.
"Your name, position, and... the level of extraordinary power."
The man swallowed, not daring to hide anything, and answered with a trembling voice.
"Adlai... I am the Sheriff of Silverpine Town. I know a little swordsmanship... My strength is only bronze."
Same as Jack.
It seems that bronze strength has become the ceiling for young people in small towns.
The stronger souls will either not be reincarnated here at all, or they will quickly become famous and be poached by the lord or the church.
Luo Yan looked at him and continued to ask.
“Why are you and your men in the maze, and who sent you here?”
This is the question that Luo Yan is most concerned about.
"I...actually...it was a misunderstanding..."
Adlai hesitated for a long time, and finally told the whole story.
It all started when a drunk sentry encountered a skeleton at the entrance of the maze.
Because the undead appeared on the first floor of the maze, the Adventurer's Guild increased the trust weight of Silverpine Town, and rumors spread throughout Silverpine Town that the demon king in the maze was alive again.
As the Sheriff of Silverpine Town and also the person who heard the news first-hand, Adlai naturally couldn't sit still, fearing that the Demon King's army would brush against his face.
Then, the lizardman army gathered at this time by coincidence.
Hyperthy, he thought that long-term pain would be better than short-term pain, so he simply led the militiamen down to the maze.
As a result, no one expected that these lizardmen were surprisingly powerful in combat. They were like two completely different species compared to when they were cannon fodder under the Demon King.
By the time he realized the seriousness of the problem, both parties were unable to stop.
Then, he lit the gunpowder keg, but unexpectedly, he also blew up his own people.
Hhearing this series of dramatic twists and turns, Luo Yan almost lost the dignity on his face.
He originally planned to lure the group of four-legged snakes to the bottom of the Demon King's territory, use the local combat advantages and the skull sea tactics to kill them by relying on the power of faith and the players.
Unexpectedly, these guys actually got into trouble with a neurotic human being, but he was caught unawares.
He was somewhat undecided about how to collect the toll.
How about...
Just play a big one?
While he was thinking, the priest lying on the ground suddenly opened his eyes slowly.
The moment he and Luo Yan met their gazes, their eyes suddenly widened.
"Your Majesty, Saint Sis, please impose divine punishment——"
To be honest, Luo Yan felt that this old man was really not smart. He was so slow in reciting the incantation that he didn't hide it even though he knew he was slow.
"No!"
Adlai roared in grief and indignation, trying to stop the suicidal behavior of this fanatical religious lunatic, but it was already too late.
Bond raised his hand and pierced the priest's throat with a knife without even blinking.
Adlai's face turned pale, and he lowered his raised right hand in despair.
It’s better now.
He is not only bearing the wrath of the lord now, he may also have to bear the wrath of the regional bishop.
Not far away, lying on the ground, the president of the Silverpine Town Adventurer Guild shook his shoulders uncontrollably and closed his eyes tighter.
Without exposing this guy who was pretending to be dead, Luo Yan looked at the Sheriff named Adlai and said.
"I want to know who your superior is and who is the biggest official in Silverpine Town."
“My superior is the Chief of Public Security of Thunder City. The Public Security Department belongs to the city hall. The city hall serves the governor, and the governor serves Archduke Campbell. As for Silverpine Town, it is special. It belongs to Thunder City in terms of administrative division, but it is also the territory of Baron Gus. You Ask the biggest official...probably the mayor Muriel. But in many cases, Baron Victor Guess is the one who actually collects taxes and makes decisions." When he said this, Adlai paused for a moment and continued nervously.
"This is a complex system... If you are interested, I can explain it to you slowly."
He didn't know why the Demon King was interested in this kind of thing, but if he could survive, he wouldn't mind betraying a little information about the surface world.
However, the Demon King in front of him did not seem to have any intention of capturing him back, but said after thinking for a moment.
"I probably understand, that is to say... you are just a security chief in charge of militia training and public security, right?"
Although he didn't know what a security guard was, Adlai still nodded hastily.
"Yes, that's the case... But after this fiasco, it's hard to say whether I can continue to be a peace officer."
Luo Yan asked knowingly.
"Because of the heavy losses, right?"
Adlai nodded with a wry smile, and then cast his gaze at the priest lying on the ground.
“More than a heavy loss... To be honest, I’m not sure if I can see the sun tomorrow.”
Luo Yan said with a smile.
"Then do you want to see the sun tomorrow?"
Adlai said bitterly: "It's definitely a lie to say you don't want to... but as you can see, I'm done."
< br/> "Very good," Luo Yan nodded and said in a cheerful voice, "I like honest people... So Mr. Adlai, are you interested in making a deal with the devil?"
Adlai was stunned.
Luo Yan did not speak, but waved the wand in his hand, shooting a green light at the priest whose blood was almost dry.
Immediately afterwards, a miraculous scene happened!
I saw the priest standing up from the ground unsteadily as if nothing happened.
Adlai looked at Luo Yan in astonishment, and then at Father Matt, who looked stiff, with a smile that was much better than crying.
"What's the point of this?"
He knew what the devil had done, which was to turn Father Matt into a zombie. However, this behavior is no different from self-deception.
It’s more than that.
Desecrating the body of a clergyman is a serious crime, and he may even be moved from the gallows to the stake.
Looking at the smile on Adlai's face that was uglier than crying, Luo Yan said nonchalantly.
"Your understanding of necromancy is too shallow. Even zombies are divided into many types... Matt, say hello to your colleagues." Matt, expressionless, looked at Adlai and said in the latter's stunned eyes.
Hello...Mr. Adlai."
While speaking, the blood hole on Matt's neck was still bleeding out.
Adlai showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost, looked at the Demon King in shock and said.
"What, what is going on?!"
He has never heard of such necromancy!
Not only can the deceased stand up, but it can also allow the deceased to retain the mind of a living person!
Are you kidding me? !
"This is called a ghoul, and it is somewhat different from ordinary zombies. Am I right? Mr. Matt."
Hearing Luo Yan's words, Matt nodded slightly and said respectfully.
"You are right... Lord Demon King."
In the surface world, most people's impression of the undead is that of lonely ghosts without self-awareness.
Because they were impious during their lifetime and were unable to be buried on consecrated land or drink holy water, their souls could not enter the hall of Saint Sith and be reincarnated, and could only wander around the mortal world like monsters.
For this kind of unclean thing, most people will not try to communicate with it at all, and even ignoring its existence is the greatest kindness... just like how they treat hybrid demons like Sarah.
But hell is different.
Everything that mortals hate is usually the object of unity for His Majesty the Demon God.
This includes the "undead"!
Among all the undead, the number of corpses ranks second, and the social class is roughly parallel to that of the low-level demons in the "Devils" - that is, the devils.
They have many similarities with zombies, such as having no memory of their lives, loving to eat meat - especially raw meat with blood, being afraid of the Holy Light, having wounds that cannot heal themselves, and being unable to be treated with conventional healing magic, etc.
However, the difference between them and zombies is also obvious.
For example, the most significant difference is that they often have independent minds. Even if this kind of mind initially relies mainly on their obsessions during their lifetime and the information instilled in them by the Necromancer, it often evolves into an independent personality in the end.
For another example, the contract they concluded with the necromancer who awakened them is not a master-slave contract, but is more similar to the relationship between parents and children, etc.
Looking at Sheriff Adlai who was holding his breath, Luo Yan continued in a slow voice.
"Now, the priests and pastors of Silverpine Town are here. They are the only people in the entire town who have the right to interpret the teachings of Saint Sith. Only the undead they recognize are undead. No one can take off the priest's robes on them...Matt, will you admit that you are an undead?"
Matt shook his head and said in a hoarse voice.
"I have no reason to do this... I am a servant of His Majesty the Demon King, and my task is to hide myself."
"Very good, I will sew your wound to make it look more serious in a while, and then get you some perfume."
Luo Yan nodded approvingly, looked at Adlai and continued.
"Not only Mr. Matt, but also the four pastors will be awakened by me... In this way, we will monopolize the church in Silverpine Town."
"This is crazy..." Adlai looked at Luo Yan in disbelief, and said indifferently, "What if someone is sent down from above?! All the pastors in a church are corpses...Sooner or later, this will betray the gang!"
"That's not necessarily the case," Luo Yan shook his head and continued in a persuasive tone, "This is Silver Pine Town on the outskirts of Thunder City. Who knows the name of this town outside of Thunder City? Not to mention that it is an unknown distance away from the Holy City... Even the omnipotent Sheng Xi Si himself would never notice that a small accident happened to his small church. "
"As for what you said if someone is sent down from above, it's actually easy to do... I'll just take care of it."
Adlai looked at him with wide eyes, instinctively feeling that this idea was too crazy, but he couldn't help but sweating on his palms.
Indeed.
As the Demon King said, the possibility of being involved in gangs is actually not that great.
On weekdays, only adventurers come to this quiet town. As for those guys who talk a lot about horse racing, no one will believe what they say. Instead, it can become a smoke bomb to obscure the truth!
Controlling a church in a small town...
He had never thought of such a thing before, and he did not dare to think about it in such a blasphemous way!
"Can you...really guarantee that they won't be accomplices?" Adlai glanced at Matt hurriedly, and then looked at Luo Yan hurriedly, "But why do you want to help me? Or what do you want to get from me? ? 》
dieider since .
This sounds terrible...
But it doesn’t seem so bad?
He has nothing to lose anyway.
The demon in front of him can not only give him worldly power, but also allow him to gain eternity.
Especially the latter.
This is something that even Duke Campbell can’t get!
"That's right."
Luo Yan looked down at the face that alternated between greed and fear, admiring his rich facial expressions, and step by step he led the young officer into the abyss of depravity.
"I want everything from you... From now on, you will be my servant, and I will be your lord. You will swear allegiance to me and offer me all your piety. In return, I will give you something you have never dared to think of before... not only worldly power, but also the glory of remaining loyal to me after death."
Adlai's palms were soaked with sweat, and he finally made that difficult decision in his heart.
"How are you going to give me...the power you mentioned."
Luo Yan smiled softly.
"How can I give it to you? Do you still need me to teach you about this kind of thing? The religious and military power are in your hands, tell me who is the master of Silverpine Town?"
"Mayor? Baron? Haha."
"It seems you already have the answer in your mind... That's right, it's you. From now on, you are the only one who truly keeps your word in Silver Pine Town!"
Him doesn't need to say the rest, everyone knows what to do.
The subsequent development was just as Luo Yan expected. Sheriff Adlai finally chose to seize the future.
After that, Matt and the four accompanying pastors will follow him back to the ground, unify their external tone, and quietly take over the church in Silverpine Town.
Especially the latter.
It is the top priority in Luo Yan's plan.
If you want to keep Adlai's official title, it is necessary for the church to come forward.
Including providing compensation to the families of fallen soldiers and paying certain compensation to local lords.
Luo Yan took out the video crystal and asked Adlai to make an "unbreakable oath" to the crystal. Then he rode Arakedo to the president of the Adventurer's Guild who was pretending to be asleep.
"What about you? Let me give you a ride, or get up from the ground by yourself."
The expression on the president of the Adventurer's Guild, Chel, froze, then he got up from the ground with a smile, and then hurriedly knelt down as if he remembered something.
"Demon, Lord Demon King... I saw nothing, heard nothing."
Luo Yan said with a half-smile but not a smile.
"Do you think my mount trusts me?"
Looking at the big spider rubbing its mouthparts, Chel's face turned pale, and a large amount of sweat oozed from his forehead.
But he is a smart man after all, and his mind turned around quickly.
"You...what do you want me to do?"
Luo Yan said slowly.
"I want you to continue to be the president of the Silverpine Town Adventurer's Guild, and at the same time help me collect some information about the Adventurer's Guild...and, if necessary, help me issue some commissions."
Cheer nodded and quickly agreed.
"No problem! Just wrap it up with me..."
That devoid of piety made Luo Yan couldn't help but think of Principal Alvin's warning to him.
This group of citizens is really a bunch of soft-footed shrimps, and they didn't even think about resisting him.
Luo Yan handed over the crystal ball in his hand. Chel immediately repeated what Adlai had said without saying a word, and then looked at the Demon King flatteringly.
In fact, what Luo Yan didn't know was that part of the reason why the president of the Adventurer's Guild in front of him was so cooperative was because he was different from Reggie Dragon.
A demon king who can make deals is not annoying to the citizens of Thunder City who deal with things smoothly.
What they are really afraid of is the kind of guy who kills his whole family if they disagree...
Not far away, two pairs of eyes hidden in the ruins of the explosion are secretly observing the demon king riding on the back of a crypt spider.
They are little demons on the second underground floor, and they are a "demon-like" species that is different from the Demon City. Specifically, they are more like humans, and their status is similar to that of demons.
In addition to their almost human appearance, they also have a pair of red horns on their heads, bat wings and barbed tails on their backs. They are shorter than dwarves, and their bodies are slender than elves...but they have a lot of bad water in their stomachs.
Generally these guys will not come to the first level of the maze because there are nasty spider webs here.
However, the previous explosion was so exciting that it directly destroyed a section of the corridor, so they were sent here to see what was going on.
In the end, no one expected that they would find something unexpected after arriving... A new demon king had been sent from the distant hell!
His Majesty the Demon God is not yet disappointed with this Demon King’s territory!
This is incredible!
And this new demon king seems to be more appetizing to them than Lord Dragon! ?
He is not only insidious, but also cunning!
Especially when they saw the Demon King forcing humans to pray and swear to the Demon God on the crystal ball, they almost couldn't hold back their evil laughter.
Is this something humans do?
It's simply...
It's so evil!
"Damn it, is this the new Demon King?"
"Damn it, this is too evil!!!"
I will update it in the early morning on the first day it is released. I will update it at 10 o'clock tomorrow. Everyone should go to bed early~
