Casting spells

"A scroll of parchment..."

Zhang Cheng seemed to suddenly understand something, and quickly took out the scroll of parchment he was carrying with him, and stood there motionless.

Chapter 8 and Seven We all live for ourselves

Twenty centimeters long, ten centimeters wide, and a thickness of about [-] millimeters. The edges look slightly yellowed due to the baptism of time, and the texture is also very soft. There is nothing strange at all, and there is no fluctuation of magical energy. sign.

To be honest, it was the first time for Zhang Cheng to seriously observe this gadget that came to the Magic Earth with him.

You must know that when he woke up, apart from this scroll of parchment, there was not even a strip of cloth to cover the important parts.

Inconspicuous!

That's right!

Just unremarkable!

Zhang Cheng even ignored the existence of this little piece of paper for a long time.

But now, a guy suddenly told him that this thing is actually as old as the Creator, and even much older than the woman who claimed to be the Creator, which is really hard to accept.

"Don't doubt! Look carefully, don't you think its existence itself is a miracle? It has no energy and nothing strange, but it can transmit information across time and space. And I don't know if you have tried it. Any method can There is no way to destroy this fragile piece of paper. Rather, each time it is destroyed, it returns to its original state in mere seconds."

In order to gain trust, Volent threw out another big message.

No need to ask, he must have made a similar attempt when he held the parchment scroll before.

Information that can be verified with a little finger movement is obviously impossible to be a lie, at least not from a smart person.

So Zhang Cheng believed it without even trying it. At the same time, he did not forget to ask: "How much do you know about this parchment scroll?"

"Not much! I only know that, including the Creator, all people selected by the scroll can use it to transmit information within a certain range, and even transmit items and power. But there is one thing to note, that is, it will Gui will only admit that one of them is his master. Close your eyes, put your consciousness into it, and soon you will find some very interesting phenomena..."

After all, Volent stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of invitation, with an undisguised playfulness in his eyes.

"Consciousness?" When Zhang Cheng heard this word, alarm bells rang out in his heart.

Know that consciousness, especially subjective consciousness, is part of the soul to some extent, or an extension of perception.

If the subjective consciousness is violently attacked, although it will not leave permanent irreparable damage, it will remain weak for a long period of time, and even fall into a deep sleep for several years or even decades in severe cases.

"Relax, I'm still waiting for you to be resurrected, how could I make such a small move at this time." Volent blinked innocently.

"Is that so..." Zhang Cheng smiled noncommittally, and began to carefully put part of his consciousness into the parchment scroll.

moment!

For some reason, golden lines appeared on the entire parchment, and these lines quickly formed a complex pattern like a mark.

After a while, all fifteen dazzling light spots on the scroll were lit up, thirteen of them were relatively dim in color, but the first and last ones were extraordinarily bright, making people unable to keep their eyes open .

"What is this?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned and asked.

Volent replied without hesitation: "I don't know! I personally think that these light spots should represent us. The first one is a woman who claims to be the Creator, and her knowledge of the scroll is obviously far ahead of everyone. above, and the last one is you, the current holder of the scroll. In fact, this piece of paper hides more secrets than you can imagine, but the information it stores is in a form too complicated for you and me to understand. Understand the meaning. But our sister is different, she has enough time to slowly decipher the mystery, maybe this is why she is so powerful."

"So... you have your own plan, instead of really standing with her?" Zhang Cheng sensed the hint in the subtext of the other party, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"On her side? No! I'm not stupid to that extent. Like you, I live only for myself, to unravel the huge secret hidden behind. As mentioned before, We are natural allies not enemies." Volent once again emphasized the relationship between the two men.

But this reason is obviously not enough to convince the suspicious Zhang Cheng.

He squinted his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then immediately asked, "I don't understand. Since you live for yourself, why do you come to open the seal when you know the end is death? Could it be that she keeps the seal forever?" Are you in a bad state?"

"Hahahaha! You thought I had a choice?" Volent couldn't help laughing. "No! I have no choice at all! Because I have foreseen the future and all the possibilities. Guess what? Among the tens of millions of possibilities, every destination that leads to It is death. And I chose the only one who can die and come back to life."

"All possibilities lead to death?!" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this sentence.

"Yes! You can understand that you have entered a dead end of fate. After all, in terms of strength, I am not as strong as you. Even in the face of danger, I can easily crush the enemy. Generally speaking, I try to avoid risks as much as possible. Carefully do all the preparations and dodge as many powerful enemies as possible. You won't believe it, but in my decades of life, I have never fought a real battle, but used others , relying on various poisons, organs and magic props to achieve the goal." Volent explained helplessly.

"So that's it. It seems that you are a rare smart person. So smart, let's talk about the conditions now." After speaking, Zhang Cheng took out a small bottle from Camila De Silva. Blood drawn from Velasquez.

"Conditions? Didn't we just talk about it? You revive me, and I'll tell you all the secrets I know." Volent asked back with a straight face.

Zhang Cheng smiled lightly and shook his head: "No, that was just a condition you offered, and I didn't agree."

"What else do you want from me?"

"I want you to leave the world and go to hell to take charge of a great conquest plan. Anyway, your abilities are a bit unreliable, so I want to make sure you are always within my surveillance range. How, this The conditions are not too difficult to accept, right?"

"Conquer hell?!" Volent's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Yes, to conquer hell. I believe that with your ability, combined with my demon army, it shouldn't be too difficult to conquer hell first and then heaven."

Although Zhang Cheng used a discussing tone, the cold light in his eyes did not seem to be discussing with the other party at all, but issued a strong warning, either agree to live or refuse to die...

Chapter 8 Return to Hell

The barren land, the barren land near the poisonous swamp at the easternmost end of the entire hell world, is full of deserts and an almost harsh and cruel ecological environment.

Even for demons with strong adaptability, this place is full of dangers. Even if they stay in the wild for more than a dozen or 10 minutes, they may be attacked by predators and dragged into dark corners to be eaten.

After all, hell is not a peaceful and stable place. Apart from demons, there are many powerful and terrifying monsters. Some particularly powerful individuals can even rival the demon kings who stand at the top of power.

Especially the barren land, which originally belonged to the junction of civilization and wildness, so although the area is very large, the number of demons is very small. I don't know if there are 300 million in total, and there are only a few decent cities. One, that is known as the city of giant crocodiles - Vera.

It is said that the city was built by Leviathan, the demon king who ruled the poisonous swamp, but later died in that ancient war, so the rulers have been constantly changing, but one thing has never changed , the owner of this city is [-]% the most powerful demon lord in the entire barren land.

In fact, as early as more than 300 years ago, a swamp half-demon with the shape of a snake creature successfully conquered the city of Vera with unparalleled strength, and forced all the surrounding lords to pay tribute to him, becoming the supreme king of the desolate land .

But today, 300 years later, the body of this unlucky guy has been hung in front of the palace in the center of the city, becoming an ornament to show the power of the new master.

The new ruler is none other than the female demon lord Nisa who led the army to fight for several months and finally unified the desolate land.

At this moment, she was sitting on a seat made of skeletons, condescendingly admiring the neatly lined legions outside the window, with undisguised pride and pride on her face.

Because compared to the situation when there were only two or three kittens in the first expedition, this legion has now grown to more than 20 people, and almost all the defeated demon lords have been transformed into pure killing machines by fel energy , no longer have the ability to think independently.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this is a huge flaw. After all, lack of thinking ability means no subjective judgment, and only rigid execution of orders from above.

But in hell, where betrayal is more frequent than eating and drinking, it is a good thing not to have the ability to think. At least there will be no subordinates deliberately and secretly doing some small tricks in order to realize their own ambitions, which will eventually lead to the defeat of the lord.

Of course, in order to satisfy her own vanity and ruling needs, Nissa still kept some high-level demons who were good at flattering and good-looking as subordinates.

Enjoying the servant's careful massage, she suddenly asked the subordinates standing aside: "Brass! Recently, my neighbors haven't acted rashly, have they?"

"No! The supreme queen of the barren land! In the face of your mighty power, all the surrounding lords are hiding in their castles and trembling. It is a blessing that you didn't call the door. How dare you seek death? What about it?" A tall male demon stepped forward, bent down and bowed deeply.

"That's right! Your army is brave and fearless! Invincible!" Another sycophant hurriedly stood up and echoed loudly.
