Captured alive by the devil, I would rather die than submit

"We have no intention of betraying you, please rest assured."

"That being the case, why do you say that there is no need to sign a contract?"

Goloy's tone became more and more serious as the conversation progressed. In contrast, Sister Mammon gradually took the lead in the development of the situation through her speech just now.

But even so, Goloy's overall attitude is not too serious, and he still has a relaxed attitude.

"If you don't know where to explain it, just say it straightforwardly, and say what comes to mind." Goloy said with a wave of his hand.

Sister Mammon lowered her head slightly, indicating that she understood.

"Your Majesty, Lord Angel, do you two have a certain understanding of the history of the formation of hell's contract culture?" Sister Mu asked.

"Of course I understand. As a devil, if you don't even understand these things, you are too incompetent." Goloy's words seemed to be satirizing someone.

"Where is the angel?" Sister Mo asked.

"Master Angel is also very clear." Before I could speak, Goloy rushed to answer.

"Then what does His Majesty and Lord Angel think about the so-called contract culture?"

Goloy was a little bit dissatisfied, because he felt that Mamen was showing off, and it would be too rude to take the test as a child.

But even so, Goloy replied: "The so-called contract culture is something created to avoid the worst outcome. The contract is equal. It makes both parties to the contract free from the original brutal natural force, and at the same time It is a kind of moral and social force that makes both parties have to be bound in the human context. Before the post-ancient period, although demons were equal and free, there was no guarantee for all these rights. In order to seek a more stable state , the contract culture was born, and the law is the most harmonious embodiment of this will."

Looking at Sister Mamen, she was silent for a second or two, and Goloy added: "It is also the embodiment of the highest harmony of contract culture."

"But now, although there is Satan's law, hell is not unified, isn't it? Where is your highest harmonious will?" I closed my eyes, frowned, and retorted unceremoniously to Goloy.

"This is because various reasons have led to the differentiation of demons, such as racial reasons and geographical reasons, and the same, the current chaotic situation, can it be said that the contract culture has not been guaranteed."

Goloy is not a faithful believer in contracts. His attitude towards contracts has always been very disdainful. Now he refutes me only to protect the dignity of his arrogant demon king, not a loyal supporter of contract culture.

"Also, Master Angel, even if you are a human being, don't you have to abide by the contract with God?"

"Don't get me wrong, Heaven and He have never cared about the so-called contract, neither angels nor gods." Naturally, I didn't spoil him, and when it comes to discussions on key issues, personal feelings must immediately give way. "You mean race and geography? It's a joke. There is essentially no difference between demons. Human beings also have different races and different skin colors because of their later life. So there are also fundamental differences between human beings? Geographical reasons? Geographical reasons don't play a decisive role, idiot, hell is hell."

"White...idiot?"

After being scolded by me, Goloy seemed dissatisfied in his heart. After all, it was in front of Mammon. He must be silently complaining why I didn't save him some face?

"What is the angel's opinion on the contract?"

"If you can, please let us know."

"Opinion? There is no special opinion. The so-called contract culture of your demons is not so mysterious. It is just a culture produced in a certain environment. After all, the contract culture is determined, not the essence of everything. The same is true for the law."

I glanced at Goloi, he didn’t look at me with harsh eyes, so I didn’t stop, but continued: “The devil just said that the law is the highest embodiment of contract culture, which is too naive. The law is the embodiment of the will of the ruler, and the devil just said that the signing of the contract is equal. In this case, how can the contract culture be said to be equal.”

I think Goloy agrees with my point of view, because when some laws were revised before, Goloy and I did not have any essential conflicts.

Now he is also just defending for his own face. If it is normal, he will still stand with me in this kind of matter.

I am afraid that in front of Mammon, considering his status as a demon king, he did not dare to despise the contract culture as usual. Maybe he thinks that the Mammon family is a family that values ​​contract culture more.

But in this way, wouldn't Goloy's behavior be pleasing the Mammon family?

Since Goloy also agrees with me, it is really difficult for him to refute me on this point.

After being speechless for a long time, Goloy had to clear his throat in embarrassment, and then turned to Mammon.

"What do you mean by saying all of this suddenly? Don't be tricky anymore. I'm very annoyed by other people's tricks."

"Sorry Your Majesty."

"Then let's get straight to the point."

"Better say it quickly."

Sister Mammon prepared her words for a while, and then said to us in the way of the two sisters one by one: "As the angel said, the contract is created by us, and it is the product of the change of the specific environment."

"The contract is not the cause, but the result, and the contract is not equal. Whether it is the country of the human world or the law of hell, it is not the product of the contract."

"The contract culture was created by us, but with the development of time, it has become a culture that controls the behavior of demons, and more often, the emphasis on contracts has become a kind of moral concern."

"A contract is nothing more than a reflection of a particular relationship under particular circumstances, nothing more."

"So, the contract should never become the soil and props that bind us. We should use the contract culture to make it a means of domination, rather than being ruled by this culture."

Are these words the true words of Sister Mammon?To be honest, I am a little skeptical, not because of anything else, but because these words touched Goloy's heart, and they fit Goloy's concept too much. This debauched demon king is annoyed by these things the most, so these words of Mammon are fundamentally It was just following Goloy's attitude.

"We did not decide to cooperate with Your Majesty."

"Instead, I decided to obey you and become your courtier."

"Therefore, we don't need to sign any contract, and our relationship with His Majesty should not be bound by this vague moral culture."

"Our relationship with His Majesty should be direct, and we can also benefit from the unity of hell."

"All of this is the core thing for us, and the contract cannot guarantee our interests."

Too smart, Sister Mammon is a bit too shrewd.

Since there is no guarantee for the contract, and it will create a gap between the devil and the devil, it is better to completely abandon the signing of the contract and directly become the devil's subordinate, so as to narrow the relationship with the devil.

The contract is false, but the relationship with the devil is what makes it.

The law is the benefit of the ruler, so who will be the ruler of hell in the future? Naturally, it will be Goloi. If we get closer to Goloi now, we will be able to gain the status and power above the law in the future , will also be protected by law.

Sister Mammon gave up signing the contract, expecting something more valuable in exchange.

And Goloy seems quite satisfied with Sister Mammon's words.

Is this... the so-called alignment of interests?

"It's not for nothing that I asked His Majesty and Lord Angel about the contract culture just now."

"In addition to our own reasons, things about the contract culture will continue to be raised in the future, and it will continue to carry the interests of the devil."

Goloy nodded.

"So, are you planning to obey the king?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Mammon sisters said in unison. "From now on, the Mammon family will give up their independence and autonomy, obey the laws of Satan, and accept your Majesty's direct management."

Goloy's magic source became restless, not just a little fluctuation, at that moment, when he heard that a territory obeyed him unconditionally, Goloy's magic source instantly swelled violently.

And I understand that what Mammon said just now aroused Goloy's greedy desire to the greatest extent.

Chapter 175. Why did you choose this Demon King (Lipatia)

What exactly does Mammon want?Could it be said that Mammon is actually an angel and has no desires or desires?No, those who have no desires and desires are definitely not angels. Without purpose, they are just a walking corpse. Mammon still has her own purpose. Naturally, she can’t not want anything. There are always some aspects that she wants to occupy. some cheap ones.

Although it sounds like a serious topic, it doesn't really matter now. What does Mammon want? Now that she has made her position so clear and spoken so openly, what else can she want? Just think about it and you can guess what she wants.

Goloy didn't say anything, and I also remained silent. Faced with Mammon's astonishing words, we all chose to be speechless. Although it sounds like the conversation was dragged to the climax, we all have this The feeling is that Mammon hasn't really finished what they said.

But after a long time, Mammon didn't continue to speak. The two sisters were quite resistant to the solemnity brought by the silence, and even I became a little nervous, let alone Mammon standing in front of Goloy.

Perhaps because of the excitement, Goloy's previous stable arrogance has become a little frivolous, but not too much, only a little bit. After all, Mammon has made such a declaration, and I can feel that even the dragon maid over there is a little surprised.

That being the case, Goloy had no reason to make things difficult for Mammon, and it wasn't really difficult, but it just gave Mammon another step down.

"This really surprised me... Qing Mamen." Goloy cleared his throat. "Since this king came to the throne, Mamenqing is the first family willing to give up independence and submit to me... I think you should also understand what this means."

"Yes, we are very clear."

"This means that it's not our generation. Even if we die, Grady is your property now."

everything.

This is a word that Goloy likes very much, and it sounds like a sense of conquest.

But this kind of joy still needs to be kept in the heart, and it cannot be overly revealed on the surface.

"You want to ask me if I am happy... It is impossible to be unhappy when this kind of thing happens. Since the beginning of the post-ancient period, there has never been any family willing to truly give up their rights and completely submit to the Demon King. Mamen Qing, you are not only the first time for this king, but also the first time for the entire hell of the post-ancient period."

"If possible, can I ask the reason." As an angel, as an angel who cooperates with Goloi, I can't say nothing here. "Why are you willing to give up your rights so calmly? If there is no reason, neither the devil nor I can rest assured."

"Yes, Sir Angel, your doubts are correct."

"And we do need to explain why."

I stretched out my hand and motioned for Sister Mamon to return to the seat and sit down instead of standing there all the time. Sister Mammon also nodded and returned to the seat.

After sitting on the seat again, Sister Mammon began to talk to us.

"Your Majesty, Lord Angel, the truth is actually very simple, and there is not much to explain."

"Just before we explain, let's talk about our request."

"It's better to say that this request is what this king wants to know. This king really wants to hear what is as precious as the throne of the lord and the right to independence of the territory."

Hearing Goloy's words, the corners of the Mammon sisters' mouths turned up even more, revealing a cute and playful smile.

"Actually, there is nothing Your Majesty, what we want is very simple."

"Conferring an official and adding a title, that's all we want."

To be appointed as an official...as a noble?

Something choked my throat, and Goloy looked the same.

Did I hear you right, Mammon asked Goloy to be appointed an official and a noble?Is this what they want?

Obviously, Goloy also wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"Professor...Jeud...Are you sure?"

Sister Mammon nodded at the same time.

"You... you have given up all the status and power of the lord, as well as the right to independence of the territory. What the king wants is the official position and title?"

"Yes."

"That's all we asked for."

Sister Mammon nodded again in sync.

It's unbelievable, giving up such rights just for the title and official position?These things are worthless to Goloy, who is a demon king. As long as he is in a good mood, he may have sex with a maid who satisfies his beast/desire one day, and he will give her a title and official position. Woolen cloth.

And what Mammon gave up was real land, a fully armed army... Of course, there is also the right to fight for the throne of the Demon King.

All this for the sake of being a courtier under Goloy?

Seeing that Goloy and I were both a little surprised, Sister Mammon didn't make a fuss this time, but continued to talk.

"Actually, Your Majesty and Lord Angel are not very clear about the long-cherished wish of our ancestor, that is, Mammon the Great Sin."

"The Great Sin Mamen has always wanted to unify hell, to end wars, to make hell a whole, and to unite all demons."

"You two know all of this, don't you?"

"Then the situation is much easier to explain. If you think about it from another angle, it is not difficult to understand. Once we cooperate with His Majesty, there is no way out. Whether it is for you, Your Majesty or for other lords, we only have one choice." Opportunity."

"And the Mammon family has gone through so many generations of lords for this only chance to choose."

"In other words, the Mammon family never thought that the scattered state of hell could bring us any wealth. In the scattered state in the post-ancient period, the hostility between the various lord families would only destroy wealth."

"That's why we chose another path, and now, we see an opportunity, so we're going to do it with all our might."

"Then since we are going to do our best, we must bet all the capital we have, and the outcome will be determined in one battle."

"Since our goal is unity, all considerations of interests must be based on unity."

"Which one can benefit more, the lords in the scattered state in the post-ancient period or the officials under His Majesty the Demon King after the unification?"

After listening to Sister Mammon's series of explanations, Goloy and I turned our heads to look at each other tacitly.

"So that's the case. If you say it this way, this king will roughly understand it."

Is this Mammon's plan? It's really hard for me to imagine that all the lords of the Mammon family have worked so hard for this goal.

In the eyes of the Mammon family, as long as hell is still in a scattered state, no matter what kind of power a lord gains, he is weak and worthless. No matter how powerful and rich a lord is, it is absolutely inferior The concentrated wealth of the unified hell is rich. In the view of the Mammon family, only when the hell is unified can they enjoy real wealth.

As Mammon said just now, which one has more rights and can enjoy wealth more, the lord in the dispersed state or the devil's confidant officials in the unified state.

Yes, the answer is indeed obvious.

In this way, Mammon's behavior can indeed be understood.

And Mamen is willing to hand over his territory and his rights now, in order to use everything to help Goloy to promote the unification of hell. If he has reservations, he is afraid of losing everything so he doesn't try his best to help Goloy. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse with your own purpose?

"So Your Majesty, Lord Angel."
