The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 526: Purgatory Black Business
……

The end of the Dragon Castle secret passage is located between low mountains in the west of Blood Sand City.

The terrain of Purgatory is usually composed of mountains and hills, but there are very few endless mountainous areas or plateaus.

Because most demons naturally possess a certain degree of flying ability.

Therefore, the environment of Purgatory is not suitable for hiding.

As long as the pursuer flies over the low hills, he can have a clear view of the environment below.

But this mountain area is a little different.

As soon as Matthew came out, he noticed that there was a layer of light green mist covering the mountains and hills.

In between the mist.

There are a lot of green devil vines growing -

These devil vines have a certain degree of self-awareness and quite rudimentary hunting intelligence, and are also one of the species unique to Purgatory.

Of course they couldn't hurt Matthew and the others.

And the growth of these infernal plants can provide good cover for escapees.

Matthew speculated that these devil vines might have been planted by the ancestors of the Sestan family in order to further cover up the exit of the secret passage.

on the other hand.

Some mutated devil vines have the effect of silencing.

So when they walked in the mist, they often could not hear each other's footsteps, as if they were walking in a silent space.

under these circumstances.

The sudden sound of footsteps seemed even more abrupt.

"It's not a demon. Affected by the repulsive force of the purgatory space, the demon's footsteps are much heavier than this."

"Maybe it's some lone devil..."

This judgment just emerged in Matthew's mind.

The newcomer had already appeared in front of the group of people leisurely.

The other person is indeed alone.

He was carrying a huge package on his back, his waist was a little hunched, and although he was tall, he always gave people a sense of vulgarity when he walked.

no doubt.

This is a devil.

In addition to the infernal aura that was blowing in his face, he could also identify the other person from the two small pieces of horns sticking out of his head.

The devil had a green mask on his face, a red turban on the back of his head, brown clothes, and a black belt.

This colorful combination made him look a little funny.

Just as Matthew and the other two were concentrating on looking at the devil that suddenly appeared.

Sandrine showed a hint of surprise and uneasiness on her face:

"Purgatory Black Merchant?"

Her voice was very soft, and most of it was absorbed by the nearby devil vines, but the devil's ears moved, as if he heard it clearly.

His eyes immediately widened into a circle:

"Wait, ma'am, am I to take it that you are slandering me?"

Sandrine pursed her lips immediately.

Matthew looked over.

She immediately introduced it to Matthew through the medium of Paradise Lost.

original.

The devil in front of him was most likely the "Purgatory Black Merchant" in the Nine Hells legend.

This is a very legendary devil, and also an outlier among the devils.

Legend has it that the black marketeer in Purgatory always travels between different planes of the Nine Layers of Purgatory. Only those who are lucky enough will have the chance to meet him and trade with him.

The devils who had traded with him claimed that the black traders had a lot of good things, but the prices were ridiculously expensive. Sometimes even the devil lords who dominated a certain area could not meet the requirements provided by the black traders.

Most people who have done business with black marketeers believe they have suffered losses, but there is nothing they can do about it.

"Since it is not cost-effective to do business with him, why do we have to trade with him?"

Matthew was puzzled by this.

Sandrine glanced at the Infernal Merchant and explained to herself:

"That's because this devil is very good at cursing!"

"His curse may be on the same level as the Lord of the Nine Hells, and almost no one can break it!"

Matthew understood instantly.

"Some people refused to trade with the Purgatory Black Market, but their fate was very bad..."

Sandrine said quickly:
"But there is a way to deal with everything. According to the information I have learned, as long as you buy a product from a black marketeer, even if he is dissatisfied with you, he is unlikely to use a curse to attack you."

Matthew nodded slightly.

"You two won't say bad things about me in secret, right?"

The Purgatory Black Merchant put the package on the ground with a smile, and then said to the group:

"Come and take a look at my goods. They are all top quality. I will trade them with soul coins."

"You all look like wealthy people. Please buy at least one piece each, just to support the poor merchants."

"Praise the Blood River!"

Matthew went up to take a look.

Most items have their auras sealed, making them difficult to identify with the naked eye. Even identification techniques may not be able to quickly obtain relevant information about the corresponding items.

This is just like opening a blind box!
Worse.

The other party actually proposed to settle the bill with soul coins!

Although Matthew and the other two had some soul coins, the amount was not large and could only cover the travel costs to Baator Purgatory.

Although Sandrine is the last person in charge of the Sestan family, the Sestan family has been weak for too many years and the family fortune has long been lost.

Unfortunately, these items or props are extremely expensive.

Sandrine did a quick calculation.

If each person buys one, all of her soul coins might have to be used up, and she would have to use up some of Matthew's soul coins!

The unfairness of this deal is clearly beyond the tolerance of normal people.

"Take your time to choose and look around. It doesn't matter if you don't have money at the moment. I'm easy to talk to. Just write me an IOU and I'll pay you back later."

The black marketeer from Purgatory is still selling his products with a smile on his face.

Matthew and Lorraine exchanged glances.

There was a hint of murderous intent in the eyes of the trio.

"Mr. Merchant, I have some good stuff here. Would you like to take a look?"

Roland smiled and took out several bracelets, mirrors and necklaces from the material world and placed them in front of the black marketeer:
"Pick at least one. Like you, I'll pay with soul coins. The price should be three times of these!"

Purgatory Black Merchant raised his eyebrows:
"You want to force a sale?"

Luo Lan said with a smile:
“Voluntary transaction.”

"It's okay if you don't have money right now. Just write an IOU and pay it back over time."

The black businessman suddenly showed a fierce look in his eyes:

"Are you guys planning to turn against each other?"

"In business, the most important thing is to make money through harmony. If you don't like my goods, then forget it. At most, I won't sell them. There's no need to make fun of me like this, right?"

talking.

He swiftly stuffed his things back into the package.

See this scene.

A trace of worry flashed across Sandrine's face.

"Since you guys don't want to buy, then we won't do business anymore. We'll see you next time if we're lucky enough!"

Having said this.

The black businessman ran towards the depths of the mist with big strides.

He looked back as he ran.

There is endless hatred hidden in those green eyes!

that moment.

Matthew's soul seemed to be stung, and he felt a deep malice!

That is the power of the curse!

"Don't let him get away!"

Luo Lan raised his hand, and green lights flew out from the flute one after another, quickly landing on the black businessman.

"Grip of Weakness"!
"Legendary resistance weakened"!
"Bad luck"!
the other side.

Matthew's malicious transformation and Carmela's forced fixation also hit the black businessman one after another!
To provide power.

Matthew still used the dragon scale charm!

But then.

A surprising scene happened.

The Purgatory Black Merchant only maintained the goat form and the immobilized state for less than 0.5 seconds, then cursed loudly in the Purgatory language and started to escape again!
This resistance and resilience...

This is probably the best demon lord at the upper legendary level!
"Chase!"

Naturally, the three of them couldn't let this strange devil go.

They chased him all the way, but the black businessman didn't fight back, he just kept cursing.

And every time I curse.

Matthew and others could feel the malice and curse from purgatory.

Fortunately, the three of them were capable and the minor curse did not have much impact on them. Instead, it strengthened their determination to hunt down the black marketeers.

But in the process of chasing they also discovered.

This guy seems to be able to dodge a lot of physical damage and be immune to almost all magical effects. He can even be easily immune to control spells!
Matthew tried a lot of things but found that nothing worked.

And that guy ran very fast.

If Carmela hadn't been using the divine fire to burn and lock his position, he would have been out of combat and escaped with more powerful means!
"Matthew, do you have any other tricks?"

Carmela's voice rang in his ears:

"I have a way that should be able to catch him, but it might make a lot of noise..."

Matthew hurriedly stopped the other party from making any move.

After spending these days together, he also got to know Carmela better.

She said it with a lot of noise—

That might not be ordinary big!

Now they are still outside the Blood Sand City and may be targeted by the Demon Lord at any time, so it is better to keep a low profile at this time!

"I still have some control methods. Let's try them one by one..."

"Get out of the way first!"

The words fell.

Matthew appeared in front of the black businessman in a flash!
This guy reacted very quickly. He just snorted coldly, then picked up the package behind him and smashed it hard at Matthew!

The package looked large, but its actual weight was estimated to be millions of times its apparent size. If it was hit head-on, even a strong demon lord would probably faint.

Between the lightning and flint.

Matthew dodged the attack using a step back he learned from A Bing.

Followed by.

He quickly opened the Paradise Lost, took out a wooden box from it and placed it on the ground.

boom!
The wooden box fell to the ground with a heavy sound.

The black businessman was a little curious when he saw the box.

But when he saw Matthew quickly closing his eyes while opening the box, he seemed to react and wanted to turn around and escape.

It was at that moment.

Another powerful pinning move from Carmella hit the black businessman's forehead accurately.

Although the immobilization effect only lasted about 0.3 seconds.

But it was enough for Matthew to release the monster in the wooden box——

When the Medusa priestess's wet long hair brushed against the rough edge of the wooden box.

Her seemingly harmless eyes also made their first eye contact with the Purgatory Black Merchant.

In an instant.

The black businessman's body began to turn into a stone statue at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A moan of delight escaped Medusa's mouth.

next second.

She swam towards the black businessman without hesitation.

She rolled up the black businessman with her lower body layer by layer.

A few seconds later.

The Purgatory Black Merchant was brought back into the box by Neya Shattered Eyes!
boom!
Matthew closed the box, carefully opened his eyes, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the legend that the demons were afraid of Medusa's petrification ability and killed her is not groundless."

After a while, Luo Lan came over.

Matthew stuffed the box back into Paradise Lost, and then tried to open the bag that the black businessman dropped on the ground, but found that he couldn't open it.

So he could only temporarily throw his luggage into Paradise Lost.

But this time.

He could vaguely hear the roar of Dark Peggy:

"Matthew!"

"How many times have I said that?"

"Don't put everything into Paradise Lost..."

Matthew could only shrug helplessly.

no way.

Who made Paradise Lost so convenient?

The Medusa Box cannot be placed in any storage item, not even a demiplane, except for Paradise Lost.

Matthew suspected that this thing required a complete plane of space to carry it.

Only Paradise Lost meets this condition.

"So, you just robbed the Purgatory Black Market?"

Sandrine asked, looking surprised and belated.

Matthew spread his hands:

"I haven't touched his belongings yet, so it can't be considered robbery."

"You saw, too, he threatened us with a curse, and we had to defend ourselves."

Sandrine looked at Matthew in disbelief, then looked at the other two and found that they had no reaction at all, as if they had just done something insignificant.

"That's the Purgatory Black Trader!"

"Some people suspect that he is the son of the Blood River..."

"You caught me just like that?"

Sandrine muttered.

Matthew was moved when he heard this.

What just happened happened so quickly that he didn't have time to confirm it carefully.

Now recalling it.

Matthew actually sensed a familiar aura from the Purgatory Black Merchant!
That breath...

"It's the aura of Xifu and Xia Ye!"

Matthew suddenly reacted.

"and many more!"

"Could it be Barto..."

It was at that moment.

New news suddenly came from Paradise Lost.

……

"Paradise Lost: I have detected that you have successfully captured a true clone of Baator. Do you want to refine it and extract the blood of Baator from it?"

……

The Purgatory Black Merchant is actually Barto's real clone?

Does he still have the blood of Baator in him?

Matthew hesitated.

"The first drop of Baator's blood was used by Mephisto to create the Blood Banner Family."

"The second drop of Baator's blood was integrated into Sif's body by Melinda."

"Could this be the third drop, and also the last drop of Baator's blood left in Purgatory?"

Three drops of Baator's blood gathered together, does it foreshadow Baator's return?
Matthew hesitated.

I decided not to refine it for the time being.

"Let's seal it first."

He thought for a moment and directly stuffed the petrified Purgatory Black Trader into the bottom floor of the secret warehouse.

Do it all.

His attention returned to reality.

Just at this time.

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the sky.

Everyone looked up.

But then a huge rock was seen flying from the distant horizon.

The huge rock tore the sky apart and smashed into the wall of Blood Sand City.

During the flight, part of the boulder broke into pieces and fell among the mountains near them.

After the fragments fell to the ground, they broke into countless small stones.

But from those small stones.

Suddenly, insect-like demons popped out one after another!
in a blink.

The mountains and plains are filled with insect demons!
