The knight in the abyss

Chapter 165 The Mysterious Man Returns

"Don't be nervous, everyone." There was an extremely hypocritical smile on the tiefling merchant's face, "My name is Ekmon, and I'm here to discuss business with you."

"We don't have what you want, and I believe you don't have what we want either." Lancelot said with a look of guard, while the others glanced at a guy with the same name calmly, and found out The latter is like an ordinary skull at the moment, lying motionless in the shadow of the corner.

"That's not necessarily true." Tiefling sat down in front of the campfire very familiarly, "Hmm! What is this, it smells really good!"

"Styx miscellaneous fish soup, with my exclusive seasoning." Kora scooped out a small bowl from the pot, and handed it to the other party carefully, "Do you want to try it?"

"Of course!" The unknown businessman readily took the bowl, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, and then Chong Kola gave a thumbs up in approval, "The taste of the soup is more delicious than it smells. Now, I have eaten it We have shared your food, and shared your bonfire, and according to the laws of the gods, we cannot murder each other in this cave, so can you put away your weapons now, Mr. Knight?"

"The gods are not interested in meddling in this garbage dump." Lancelow's spiritual sense is frantically calling the police, but at this moment he can only pretend to be calm and say, "I accept your kindness, but we have no obligation Promise you anything."

"I was expecting a warm welcome." Tiefling shrugged indifferently, "In that case, I'll cut to the chase. You are also here for that succubus paladin, right? No need to deny it, it's a hundred miles away You can count your rivals on two hands, but I'm not one of them."

"Then why did you come to see us?" Lancelow asked knowingly.

"I've already said, I'm here to discuss business." The crimson-skinned uninvited guest showed a hypocritical smile again, "If, I said if, if you are lucky enough to snatch that succubus paladin, what do you plan to do with it? she?"

"Naturally, whoever gives us the most satisfactory remuneration, we will give it to him." Lancelow replied ambiguously.

"Then what can satisfy you? Endless wealth? Powerful weapons? Stunning beauties?" The smile on Tiefling's face became brighter, "We can provide all of these, as long as you give her to me..."

"We don't even know who you are, so why should we believe that you are capable of fulfilling these promises?" Brutal interjected, "We were just discussing the tricks of the baubers..."

"Oh! This means that we can sign a contract and use each other's souls as guarantees for the performance of the contract!" The tiefling almost couldn't wait to take out several parchment scrolls from his pocket, "You can read carefully Read these terms, just write down the rewards you want, and sign in the corner!"

"There is no need for a contract. We would rather compare which side's bid is the most suitable at that time." With Kara Lin's usual science popularization, Lancelow has already roughly guessed the identity of the other party, so he is more cautious in his words, "Now let's talk It’s too early, we didn’t have much hope, we just wanted to try our luck.”

"Understandable, but you will soon find out that our offer is the most generous." The tiefling merchant stood up from the campfire and bowed to everyone, "Goodbye, adventurers, I wish you good luck!"

The human knight stared at him without saying a word, maintaining a reasonable vigilance.The latter stepped out of the entrance of the cave with ease, and when he was about to step out of the cave, he turned around again and looked at Lancelot.

"Ah, I almost forgot."

Lancelot's heart tightened suddenly, and he stared at the other party firmly.

"Don't be nervous, just to remind you." Tiefling smiled, "The team escorting that succubus will pass through the Flail Rift tonight, and then head straight for the instant fortress. If you rest until tomorrow morning, Just keep your back on the sun and you'll be able to intercept them just right."

Lancelot still didn't speak, just nodded politely.

"Then, good luck to you."

In the sound of the alarm bell, the tiefling disappeared abruptly into the darkness outside the cave just like when he came.

"Lancelot, this is it?"

Karaline asked, but the latter didn't answer him, but closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged.

The scholar knew that Lancelow was using his special ability to check the surrounding environment, so he didn't rush him, but patiently waited for Lancelow to finish.

After a while, Lancelot finally opened his eyes slowly. Facing everyone's questioning gazes, he nodded slightly.

"That tiefling has left. This is the one I saw yesterday."

"What's the origin of this man?" Brutal scratched his head, "And his name... eh? Where's Ekmon?"

"Here it is." The weak voice of the skull sounded from the corner, "I don't know why, but when I saw him, I was very scared, and I couldn't control it at all."

"Do you have any memory awakened?" Kara Lin asked with concern, they all know the situation of the skull's memory.

"The strangeness is here, not at all." Ekmon's eyes showed a confused look, "but I'm sure I know him..."

"Maybe you do know him, but he doesn't look like this." Lancelot deduced, "When he took out those parchments, I had to have some associations..."

"Don't be so quick to be sure, maybe he just wants people to think so." Karaline shook his head, "Everyone knows that the devils will fulfill their contracts, and sometimes the devils pretend to be the agents of the devil on purpose, those words are very important to them No restrictions."

"After we rescued Elotishia, we took her away as soon as possible, without delay." Lancelow took out the amulet with the emblem of Shuangqiao Town and confirmed that the magic item was normal. "Is there any problem with our answer just now? Could it be that we have accidentally reached an agreement?"

"Shouldn't be there?" The scholar subconsciously asked back, and it took a while to confirm with an affirmative tone, "Shouldn't be."

"Boss, your answer is perfect." Ekmon interjected, "Give the reward the one that satisfies you the most. It sounds very clear, but in fact you didn't explain what will satisfy you. He thought what you wanted It's wealth or treasure, but you can definitely say that getting this succubus back to her lover is the most satisfying outcome for you."

"That's what I mean." Lancelow nodded, "but his last sentence may be his real purpose. He wants to lead as many mercenaries as possible to attack the team escorting Elotesia, just Let these mercenaries act as cannon fodder to consume the strength and magic of the escort."

"Then his wishful thinking was wrong." Brutal raised his hammer and roared, "We may not be the first to attack, but we must be the last!"
