Scales of Eternal Order

Baator hell is a place where mercy is withered and resentment flourishes. This is the home of Batzu devil.

There is a plane where the essence of evil is interpreted by the rules of order. It best satisfies the imagination of travelers, the greed of treasure hunters, and the anger of Paladin. There is the ultimate plane of order and evil, which embodies the cruelty of premeditated and cunning.

The kingdom of more than twenty evil gods is located in the most famous orderly evil plane in this multiverse, but even if they are noble as they do not dare to act recklessly there. Except for the unsuccessful existence who lives in Nessus at the bottom of Baator [1], the cunning, cruel and amazing Batzu devil dares to use conspiracy to subvert and seize various powers and forces in the multiverse.

It’s not surprising that the blue dragon Ques discovered the Batzu devil’s creation in this plane. This race habitually uses conspiracies and tricks to obtain the fallen souls they need from various planes, and these souls are It is used to pay for the military expenses of the eternal bloody battle with the Tali demons in the abyss.

I have to say, “Moonlight Candy” this thing is depraved enough, this is indeed a devil.

“The creation of the devil, hehe…”

The blue dragon itself belongs to the evil camp of order, and the god of the five-color giant dragon race, the mother of evil dragons, the ancient creation dragon king Ai Tiamat, the eldest daughter of Ou and the five-headed dragon queen, lives in Baator Hell and is a powerful ally of Nessus. Because of this, Blue Dragon knows the habits and characteristics of Batzu devil very well.

Ques knows that even if he thinks with his toes, this “Moonlight Candy” scroll must be part of a conspiracy to fall into hell, but I don’t know how many humans these things have corrupted on this plane, and That kind of demons planned the conspiracy, and he only had some general guesses about it.

Use this trick to seduce people to fall. It shouldn’t be a high-level Batzu standing at the top of the Baator Hell Power Pyramid, such as Hell Fiend or Burnt Demon. If the high-level demons understand this plane so deeply, they can create incarnation or directly pull off Gates of Hell.

Even if it is exploded or forced to retreat within one night, it is estimated that the souls of several city-states can be harvested, and the efficiency is much higher than this kind of trick.

Deep plans and distant thoughts, slowly penetrate, while still being able to study such a thing, either the contract demon playing with words or the black-hearted merchant harvest demon, the probability of the latter is greater…

“Where did you get this scroll for a mortal?”

The blue dragon Ques, the huge yellow apricot, stared at the businessman closely, and added a note of “Detecting Lies.” “.

“Koptik City! It’s the city of sins.”

“I was originally the Boss of Sandrhino Caravan, but the last time I took the goods, a team of camels encountered a sandstorm and the goods Both the caravan and the caravan were buried under the sand dunes, and I needed to pay Nome City great character a sum of money. A sum that emptied every gold cole, silver kate, and even bronze in all the pockets of the upright Santos Ben’s compensation.”

“I just took the risk of selling contraband Skoma and this Moonlight Candy scroll from Koptik City. Someone in Nome City will buy these things at a high price…”

Those who use the magic of detecting lies will be more or less inclined to confide. It took 1/4 of an hourglass time before Santos explained his experience of falling from an “righteous” businessman to an alchemy toxin dealer. The detection of lies spells In the Arcane vision, the magical aura has not turned into a lie red.

“Businessman, for the sake of your service to Salota, I can forgive your life for the time being.”

“I can also return this fallen enchanted scroll to you , Let you keep ridiculously decent in Nome.”

The fat businessman’s face brightened, and a look of excitement flashed by. As long as the scroll can be retrieved, it can make up for the loss of the caravan’s cargo and even pay off part of the debt owed to the first governor family.

But the blue dragon is so generous, so the camp deviates from the evil five-color dragon. Of course, the metal dragons of the good camp find that they dare to transport the contraband scrolls. It is estimated that the probability of directly killing an evil businessman like himself is the greatest.

“However, my tolerance is not to tolerate your offense. You must provide yourself with a bail.”

“The noble clansman, Duke of Thunderbolt, I am willing to pay bail. , But now I don’t have a Bronze Deben. “When the business transaction that I am good at eases, the businessman seems to be less scared, and his eyes roll: “Maybe I can use equivalent services as bail.”

“Yes, but we need to draw up an effective contract.”

The speculation just now gave Blue Dragon a certain association.

Since the Batzu clan, who are also in the evil camp of order, will use contracts and conspiracies to achieve their goals, so can he himself.

This businessman looks very capable, and only a momentary misfortune will make him fall into danger.

And Ques itself has the responsibility of patrolling the Dragon Nest territory, if you can take advantage of this convenience.

Allowing merchants to lead more caravans through the territory can greatly shorten the distance of some original trade routes and save more time.

Time is life, time is money.

The drafting of the contract is naturally not written on ordinary papyrus, and is bound by secular laws.

Ques chose to imitate the Batzu devil and directly communicated with the endless Netherworld River, and asked the businessman to sign a Netherworld River contract witnessed by the Netherworld River. The effectiveness of this contract is supervised by the will of Netherworld River, even if Spiritual God wants to violate it, it will cost a huge price.

The contract is naturally an unequal contract, and there is no rigid obligation for the drafter of Ques. Fetan Fetan.

The contract performer Santos must abide by the confidentiality of the content of the contract and the circumstances under which the contract is signed, complete the development of the business road across the Dragon’s Nest Territory with the support of Ques, and collect ten taxes when crossing the Dragon’s Nest Territory. One tax (that is, a commercial tax that takes one-tenth of the value of the goods), and a series of terms such as the need to provide help with a value not exceeding his entire net worth when Blue Dragon Ques finds him in the future.

However, the situation is stronger than that of people. In order to survive, the fat businessman had to agree to all the contents of the agreement.

When the contract was reached, the Netherworld River flowing through you appeared in front of both parties.

The calm pale red river splits a finger-thick tributary that runs through the papyrus scroll carrying the agreement, and both souls have received the reminder of the contract.

“Once a mortal violates the Netherworld River contract, death is the most extravagant redemption. You are an informed person and should know how to do it.”

After saying this, Ques did not forget to add a “Suggestion Spell” to Santos. This kind of enchantment spell can be used to transform a person’s subconscious.

The effect that the blue dragon implanted in the merchant leader can make him ignore the process of signing a contract with giant dragon today, and at the same time, he will not forget the agreement to fulfill the contract.

After doing this, looking at Santos walking towards the oasis on the periphery of the Dragon Nest Desert, the blue dragon Ques secretly showed an imperceptible smile.

“The previous generation of subsidiary Boss has to ask grandfather to sue his grandmother and seek investment; in this life, he has the opportunity to be a venture capitalist…”

“It’s really interesting…”

After confirming that Santos is already under the influence of Suggestion Spell, he walked towards the desert oasis outside the Dragon Nest territory. Ques didn’t forget his original plan, opened his wings to create a strong air current, and swept a large area of ​​yellow sand to cover up the last trace of the group of lizardmen raiders or sand bandits that had turned into coke.

ps: [1] The existence of Nessus: Asmodeus, the highest demon lord, the unquestionable ruler of the nine hells, living in the Malsheim fortress on the 9th floor Nessus of Baator Hell. Even those gods who call Baator Hell their home must give him three points. Asmodeus is the oldest demon in existence, although some people claim that he is not the first ruler of Baator Hell.
