Chapter 317 42. Pact with the Underworld


"Poof" still had a stunned head and said goodbye to the bleeding neck.It was like a football that had been kicked off, drawing an arc in the blood swaying under the twilight of the seaside, smashing on the sand that had been melted by the scorching flames, and jumping a few times helplessly.The headless corpse fell to the ground, and the black-skinned magic book suspended in the air seemed to have lost its foiling power, and it was falling.Merlin tried to catch it, but the book seemed to have a consciousness of its own, and the moment it fell into Merlin's hands, in the light of an eerie light, the book disappeared into thin air.But just before it vanished, a sharp shadow knife grazed the book's body, tearing the flying page from the magic book.The yellowed, parchment pages were clasped in Merlin's hand."

Bang" behind him, the exotic demigod summoned by Lady Hydra finally landed in the material realm with difficulty.An indescribable, cold snake, with a soft touch that glides over the skin, bursts across the sand.Merlin, who was wielding the Angry Spear, looked back, expecting to see a monstrous monster.But unexpectedly, standing behind him was just a slightly eccentric woman.A bald woman.She was in good shape, wearing a strange black armor that looked like it was made of some kind of animal skin, with some patterns on it that Merlin didn't recognize, and resembled ancient Egyptian script.Her face is characteristic.Although it's a bald head...

Well, that's really hard to ignore.But there was a blank glint in her crescent-like eyes, and around her eyes, there were large pieces of eyeshadow that resembled war, which made her look a little hideous.And in her hands, she held a ceremonial battle axe.Unlike most battle axes, the blade of this beautiful axe, which is fixed directly above the handle, looks like a shovel.A dark red glow danced on the blade of the ritual battle axe, like some kind of flame rune, it was not scorching, but rather a little cold.It looks very weird."

You summoned me from Hades to this world?"

The woman asked Merlin in a strange language, which Merlin had never heard before, but he could understand the meaning of the language.This woman is strong.There was no doubt about it, and she was even stronger than the most powerful half-demon Merlin had ever seen, the son of Satan hiding in New York.But to be weaker than Carol in his heyday, well, about the same as Ronan."

It's not me, it's her."

Merlin didn't put away the angry spear, he looked at the strange bald woman warily, he turned sideways, pointed to the headless corpse behind him, and said, "It's a pity that she died before the ceremony." ”"Dead?"

The woman fluttered forward in an eerie levitating stance, she didn't care about Merlin or the spear in his hand, neither of which posed any threat to her.Entangled in the shadows of substance, she floated to the corpse of Lady Hydra, she looked at the corpse, and after a few seconds, she shook her head, "She's not dead. ”"Huh?"

Merlin looked at the bloodied corpse, and he didn't know what this strange woman meant.Presumably seeing Merlin's doubts, the woman explained in a calm tone, "She has a pact with the god of the underworld, Sithorn...

I can smell the breath of the Most High Shadow, you have destroyed her body, but not her soul.She will be resurrected, but perhaps for a long time, and she will not die until Silthorne's contract is broken. ”"Is that so?"

Merlin frowned and said, "It's really tricky.What is the origin of that West Thorne?

”"You should call him the god of the underworld."

The summoned exotic demigod seemed to be very talkative, and she did not refuse to answer Merlin's question.She glanced at Merlin, as if she had seen through Merlin's heels, and she said, "Your father, the Three Palace Demons, is also rare, and he will not call him by his name as if he was provocative.Silthorne is one of the many ancient gods, one of the first demons born in the many dimensions of Hell, and theorized, one of your father's brothers. ”"He has many names, the god of the underworld, the god of evil, the god of dark magic, or the High Shadow...

But he has been in exile in other dimensions for hundreds of millions of years, and you can't possibly meet him in your life you know. ”"Hmm" Merlin nodded, and after noticing that the demigod of Hades in front of him was not hostile, he put away the angry war spear, and the moment the war spear left his hand, a feeling of weakness welled up in his heart, as if he had not slept for several days and nights, Merlin's face became a little paler.The explosiveness of the Angry Spear is really superb, but its side effects are also quite disturbing.He coughed lightly, looked at the bald woman again, and asked cautiously, "So, who are you?"

Can I know your identity?

”"Me?"

The woman shook her head, and she said, "I'm just an unimportant character, a daughter banished by her father, you can call me Razan or you can call me Night Jackal."

I have to thank you for killing the contractor of Silthorne before the ritual was completed...

So that I don't fall into the hands of these vicious creatures and be controlled by them, this has allowed me to retain the last of my dignity. ”"So you're free?"

Merlin looked at the rapidly decaying headless corpses on the ground, and said, "Will you stay in the human world?"

”"Freedom?

No. ”The well-spoken demigod of Hades, Night Jackal Razan shook her head, and she said, "The ritual has been carried out, and I must fulfill the contract, but because of this woman's death, the contract has been transferred to the Dark Divine Book.It's the book that just disappeared, and I have to find the next owner of that book, help him or her fulfill a wish, and...

Then I can be truly free. ”"The Dark Book?"

Merlin heard something he didn't understand, and he asked, "That sounds like a terrible thing."

Some kind of magic weapon?

Or is it some holy relic?

”"Neither.""

That was the medium that Sithorne had left in the physical realm, and he himself could not return to this dimension, so he could only find the contractor in this way.He uses the Dark Book to bestow his powers on his followers to help him with outlandish requests to entertain him or to plot one plot after another.But that book has a will of its own, and it will not be held twice by the same person. ”"If you defeat this woman, it means that she no longer has the power to hold the Dark Book, and she has been abandoned by that book.""

What's the use of that book?"

Merlin said, "Does it contain a lot of spells?"

”"It's not just a spell."

Razan raised her head and looked in the direction of the sun, she tapped the black ritual tomahawk in her hand on the ground, and the next moment, the shadows of substance gathered at Lazan's feet like a tumbling tide, and in an instant it turned into a fierce and strange black skeletal bird of prey in armor, carrying Lazan into the air.The summoned skeletal bird of prey seemed to have a will of its own, its hollow, pale eyes staring at Merlin in front of it, as if it were looking at dinner.The demigod night jackal looked at Merlin condescendingly, and said, "The Dark Book can give everyone who watches it any knowledge he wants."

But no one who holds that book will end well, it is a cursed monster, and you should not covet it, this is my last advice. ”"Son of the Three Houses, we'll see you next time...

Well, if you think about it, never see you again. ”A strange smile tugged at Razan's cold, expressionless face, and she said to Merlin, "It's not a good thing to be associated with you demon children...""

Then goodbye."

After saying that, the night jackal manipulated the skeletal bird of prey at its feet, and in the blink of an eye, it flew into the sunny sky, so fast that Merlin didn't even react.Merlin watched as the Night Jackal turned into a small black dot in the sky, rubbing his chin and thinking about the message that the Night Jackal had just left behind."

Calling himself a demigod of Hades, well, Hades...

Let me think about it, this is supposed to be hell in the mythological system of ancient Egypt. ”She said that she was the daughter exiled by her father, that is, the true identity of Razan's father could be Osiris, the king of Hades, one of the nine gods of Egypt?

Is Lazan, the bald woman, Horus's half-sister or younger sister?

”"Tsk, that's a big deal."

Merlin couldn't help but sigh: "This is the real person with a background." ”After saying that, he let go of the left hand that he had been clenching just now, and in his hand, there was a piece of paper that had been picked up, it was a little yellow, and it looked a little dirty.These are the pages that Merlin ripped from the escaped Dark Divine Book.He couldn't be sure if Razan had noticed his small movements, but judging from the warning when Razan left just now, the Hades demigod should have known what Merlin was holding.But she didn't mean to ask for it at all."

Even the demigods have abandoned you, and it seems that you are indeed an evil thing."

Merlin placed the paper on the stone beside him, spread it out in the sunlight, took a pen from his pocket, and wrote a sentence on the empty page."

Will you eat my soul?"

The moment these words were written, the black handwriting quickly dissipated, as if it had never appeared.The next moment, under Merlin's gaze, a line of square words appeared in front of his eyes.If Merlin is not mistaken, this should be the script of the ancient kingdom of the East...

This made him a little confused.According to Razan, any response from the Dark Book will appear in words or images that the user is most familiar with, that is, Merlin himself does not know that he is most familiar with not the alphabet English, but the square word?"

Strange" Merlin touched his chin, but he didn't particularly care about it, because he could read the answer on the page.Language is just an appearance, and the meaning conveyed in this book is communicated through the will, which even a blind person can read and understand.And when confronted with Merlin's quirky question, the answer on this page is, "It depends on your question...""

The higher the value, the more you lose, so be careful.""

Now, let's start asking questions.""

Sure enough!"

Merlin's eyes narrowed, even though the paper had been torn from the Dark Book, it was still in contact with the book, and perhaps the book had deliberately left the page.Merlin thought for a moment, picked up his pen, and wrote down another question."

How do I destroy Hydra?"

This time, the answers that emerge from the pages are quicker and shorter."

It can't be destroyed."

Merlin looked at the answer, he frowned, and wrote down a second question."

Maybe I'm asking in the wrong way, so how do I save S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

This time the answer was just as brief."

It's hopeless.""

Hell!"

Merlin thought that the page was deliberately playing with him, and he simply wrote down the question he wanted to know the most: "How can I free myself from my fate?"

”The answer on the page is the same three words."

Wait for death.""

I should have burned you!"

Merlin complained, and he was about to put away the page, but at this moment, he wrote one last question: "Who are those people behind me?"

”This time, the page hesitated for a full 10 seconds before giving an answer that wasn't an answer."

You're really...

Want to know?

”This answer made Merlin pause, and his fingers touching the page felt a deadly chill coming from the page, and the force did not trigger, as if it represented some kind of warning.Merlin could guess that once he was sure he wanted to know the answer, then the moment he saw the answer, his soul might be taken by the god of the underworld, Sithorne.The reason is simple, just like the book says before.The higher the value claimed, the higher the return required.Merlin hesitated for a moment in the face of the words that appeared on the page, and he shook his head: "Forget it, I don't want to know. ”Then, a sentence appeared on the page."

Hehe, coward!""

Fack!"

Merlin burst into a foul mouth, and he shoved the paper into his pocket roughly, and made up his mind not to take it out again.He glanced back at the devastated island, where the utterly destroyed underground laboratory was still emitting smoke, and Merlin found no sign of life as dark perception swept across the ruins.He shook his head, and in the light of the black mist, the light of the Transfiguration Charm appeared, and he disappeared into the unnoticed island as he had come.He's got something to do.It takes a long time for Lady Hydra to come back to life, which means that the magical power inside Hydra is weakened, and this is the perfect time for Merlin to come out and sweep away the scum of shadows.Although the Dark Book tells him that he will never be able to destroy Hydra, Merlin plans to give it a try.Just use the simplest method.Kill them one by one, if you can solve all the people who caused the problem...

So the question ...

Naturally, it doesn't exist.()
