Following Hella through the gate of time and space, rod came to her territory.
There are no solid walls or solid houses around. There are only hollowed out rock walls, leather tents with bloodstains, and Demons sitting around the fire in the open space.
These demons gather here, and the types are mainly abyssal demons. Rod even saw some long Horned Demons. In the distance, from time to time came the sound of breaking the air. Several abyssal demons were beating each other with long whip for fun, and they were laughing happily.
And at the end of rod's line of sight, a huge dark red pillar of fire went straight into the sky. Under the pillar of fire, a series of dark yellow young creatures march in a direction driven by the evil spirits of the abyss.
"You look disappointed."
Just as rod looked around the camp, Hella's words came to him.
"I was just a little bit surprised." Rod shrugged and said, "I thought your territory would be better than here. Everything here doesn't deserve you."
"Oh?" Hella looked at rod with a smile as if interested. "Are you trying to please me? Why didn't you do that before in front of the statue of the king? "
Rod showed a helpless look: "I mean, these simple facilities are not worthy of your strength. With your strength, you should enjoy better service. You're a high-level demon, aren't you? Your strength has surpassed most demons. "
Hella snorted and did not answer rod's words.
Before long, she took rod to an empty tent and said:
"The fire trial held by the demon king will be opened in the near future. You can wait here for a while. If you feel bored, you can also talk with the demons nearby. I think you will be satisfied with them."
"I want to go back to the monster furnace, where to collect the soul fragments dedicated to the king, OK?" Rod seemed to have thought of something and asked voluntarily.
With that, rod's eyes looked at the huge pillar of fire not far from the camp. Below the pillar of fire was rod, the monster furnace with his body born. Above it were pieces of soul from nowhere. Hella's camp is not far from the monster's melting pot.
HeLa thought about it and replied, "you can't get close to it. I also want to choose from those little monsters that have enough potential to participate in the trial of the demon king. Don't worry about getting soul fragments. Now you just need to wait here. After the trial starts, there will be enough demons for you to get soul fragments. "
Rod doesn't talk.
"By the way, you should be loyal to the king of gluttony?" It seemed that something had come to her mind. HeLa asked rod.
"Yes." Rod replied.
"I once won back a number of special small devil statues from other krigans, including the king of gluttony." With that, HeLa reached behind her and found a delicate stone carving the size of a thumb.
"I've given the statues of other demonic kings to other people long ago, but the statues of gluttonous kings can't be separated. There are few demons who will be loyal to the king of gluttony. They don't need this statue. " As she spoke, Hella handed over the exquisite stone carving to rod.
Rod looked at the stone carving in his hand with some doubts. Soon, a prompt came from the system log.
…………

…………
Looking at the statue of the devil in his hand, rod seemed to be aware of something and looked surprised.
The small devil statue in front of us can be used as an altar. With this special demon statue, if ordinary demons want to get the reward from sacrifice, they can execute it immediately without going back to the Apocalypse temple or looking for other altars.
The small statue in front of him is easy to carry. Even if there is no space ring, rod can take the statue with him without worrying about losing it.
Of course, for rod at this time, he didn't need the statue. Due to the sacrifice of doomsday omen, rod has the highest level of demonic contract, which can be immediately exchanged for various rewards without other certificates.
After coming back from the apocalypse, rod hasn't checked the new rewards in the contract, but now, rod has more important things to do.
From Hella's words, rod seemed to find something and asked, "you say that few demons will be loyal to the king of gluttony? Isn't this king powerful? "
Hella shook her head. "It's not like that. The power of the king of gluttony is one of the best among all kings. Even the angry king who is in charge of the beast can not get any benefit in front of the king of gluttony. "
"Then why are not so many demons loyal to him? The more powerful a king is, the easier it is to be loyal? " Asked rod.
"Because the king of gluttony will eat the demons who follow her." Hella explained, "the more devoutly she follows her demons, the more delicious it is for her. I'm still a priest under the king of lust. I don't know how many demon priests like me, but there's only one priest under the king of gluttony, and she devours the rest. "
Listening to Hella's words, rod seemed to think of something, and his face changed a little.
Once upon a time, from the book of silence of the thieves guild, rod saw the name of the king of gluttony. It was not besib, who was guided by maxika for him, but another one.
The giant shanzel is the king of gluttony.
For the name of shanzel, rod has a little impression. It belongs to the name of the ancient devil, and in the depths of blakada's snow, the kingdom of the dragon, which is located on the highest snow mountain, is called this name.
Rod didn't know what had happened in the past. Maybe the old devil had been active in the surface world, or what had happened. When rod came to hell, all kinds of secrets that he had ignored appeared in his heart at this moment.
What makes rod more concerned is that, according to the system log, the glutton king who has reached a contract with him is not shanzel himself, but besib who died in the hands of the bright hero countless years ago. I don't know the difference between his contract and the one he signed with shanzel.
