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

"It seems that you really understand it." He turned around. "You look like a nobleman, and you should be of noble blood like me. Your companion is nothing more than a typical fallen angel. With her appearance, I believe that her status in Praeder should not be lower than anyone else."

I pointed to myself and blinked.

It was only when she looked at me devoutly that I realized he was talking about me.

I, fallen angel.

"Fallen angel... eh? Fallen angel? You, you mean me? Fallen angel?"

"You don't need to quibble anymore, your appearance has betrayed you, you are so beautiful, to be honest, I have seen many fallen angels, I have also been to Pride, but I have not seen any fallen angels His appearance can surpass yours." He looked very gentlemanly and gentle, and it sounded like he was deliberately using this gentle appearance to please me. "So you don't have to hide it anymore. If Praeder wants to send someone to us to find out something, then they really shouldn't send someone of noble blood like you."

"You say I'm a fallen angel?! Me!"

"That's right." Seeing that I was about to get angry, Goloy hurriedly stopped me. "We are fallen angels."

Goloy wants to see me laugh, he wants to see me laugh!

I had seen it, though he held back, but I saw it for a split second, the corner of his mouth casually glanced up.

This bastard is still making fun of me at a time like this? !

"Calm down... calm down..." he whispered.

"Well, but you." The man frowned. "You don't look like a fallen angel... I mean, your bloodline doesn't seem too pure."

"Eh?"

"I really haven't seen...a fallen angel with black skin."

"What did you say to me just now?"

"You should be the servant of this lady. Although you are also a fallen angel, you are of a collateral lineage. Your blood is not pure, so you can only... well, be a slave to someone as noble as this lady."

"slave?!"

"Ah, don't you want to hear that word? It's a servant."

"Servant?! You! How dare you!"

Oops, this man stepped on Goloy's sore spot.

He looks very smart, and he is actually quite smart, but sometimes he shows his intelligence too much, and he will only become a laughing stock in the eyes of others.

"You, you dare to say that my blood is not pure?! I think you are looking for death!" Goloy, who stopped me from watching the joke just now, has suffered a lot this time.

And I imitated Goloy's appearance just now, took his hand, and whispered into his ear deliberately jokingly: "Calm down, calm down."

Chapter 68. You Can't Afford Something Happened (Lipatia)

But the other party doesn't seem to know our real identities, but thinks that the two of us are some kind of nobles from Pride.

Fortunately, the relationship between Pride and Sloss is relatively peaceful, at least I have not heard of any diplomatic disputes between Sloss and Pride; because of this, we are now only "suspected" We are under house arrest, even if the other party did not realize the truth of our identities, but since we are considered to be from "Pride" and are also so-called "nobles", then this can't help but remind people of the race of the current Demon King , and Grady, whom Sloss relied on, belonged to the Demon King's camp. It was these seemingly complicated relationships that led to the current situation.

"It's actually very simple. I just want to know the purpose of the two of you coming to Sloss, and your identities."

"Ask us when we come up, are you qualified?" Goloy raised his head and said to him with a gesture of contempt.

"Do you want me to introduce myself?"

"I have to know who is presumptuous in front of me."

The other party didn't mind Goloy's arrogance. It seemed that his work had made him used to facing all kinds of different groups. He didn't know whether he was putting on a pose or deliberately adhering to some ancient and conservative principles. He put his legs together, Covering his chest with one hand, he bent slightly towards us and bowed.

"My lord is the head of the Border Investigation Department under the Sloss Order Defense Force. My name is Shimo."

"Shimo? This is your name, what's your last name?"

"I'm afraid my surname has nothing to do with your Excellency."

"That's not right." Goloy deliberately sneered and crossed his arms. "You should also be a nobleman, right? This nobleman is very concerned about his blood and origin. Judging from your appearance, your status should not be low, and you are still holding such an important position. It seems that Nirvan thinks highly of you. Then why do you care about your surname so much?"

"I don't mind, I just think it's meaningless. Unlike other territories, we in Sloth place so much emphasis on bloodlines. Yes, I am a nobleman, but I am always proud to be a descendant of Belphegor. As for our family's surname , there are very few chances to show up." With his hands behind his back, he swayed back and forth, making people feel a little out of tune. "It's normal for bigwigs from other territories not to understand, but in Sloss, it's perfectly normal not to report your own surname."

"This is really the first time I've heard of it."

"Then, as a courtesy, can you both answer my question just now?" His smile gradually froze, and then disappeared.

"Sorry, we can't tell you the name or something."

"You should know that I'm not begging you. I'm talking here because the two of you are not criminals, but suspects. But if you don't cooperate and I invite you to a place where you definitely don't want to go, then I might not be talking to you like I am now."

"Do you think you have the ability to take me away?"

"Why, do you want to try it? Don't forget, this is Sloss, you are very powerful, but your strength is just the fatal weakness in Sloss. When you want to use your powerful magic source to deal with me, It only takes a few seconds before you pass out."

So that's why this group of people are so confident, because the magic source field possessed by Sloss itself is too harsh for those who are not used to it.

I'm curious though, what kind of geography would produce this effect.

More importantly, why does it have the same impact on me as an angel as it does on demons?There is still a big difference in the essence of the magic source between me and Goloy—that is, the devil.

I tried to shake hands, and I wanted to try again to see how the environment of Sloss would interfere with my magic source, but the smell of gunpowder in the room is too strong at present, if we really fight, and we are affected by the environment of Sloss Restrictions will not take advantage, but will cause major problems in politics, diplomacy and other fields.

It's better not to act rashly.

"Forget it." In order not to let Shmo hear, I almost bit my lips on Goloy's ear. "It's better not to be tough now..."

"Hiss!" Goloy trembled with his neck clamped. "Your breath tickles me."

"What time is it and you're still so unprincipled." I thumped his back hard.

"The relationship between the two of you is really good. It doesn't matter. Our Sloss is also a very romantic place, so we won't mind or laugh at your private affairs."

"Then you are really considerate." Goloy said with his neck on his side and rubbed his arm against his ear. "Then let me just say it straight. I can't tell you our names, nor can I tell you our purpose."

"Then you are going to..."

"Because." Goloy raised his voice, as if protesting that Shermo interrupted him. "You are not qualified to know."

"You said I'm not qualified?" Shimo seemed to have heard some joke, no matter how stubborn etiquette was, he couldn't hold back the funnyness in Goloy's words that he felt in his heart, grinned the corners of his mouth, and raised his eyebrows. "I'm afraid you haven't figured out my identity yet, because... I didn't report my family name?"

"Are you Niren?" Goloy didn't have the heart to continue playing with him, and asked the most direct question indifferently.

And this question once again wiped out the gentleness and smile on Shimo's face, and brought him back to his original form.

"No."

"Isn't that the end? We came to Sloss to see Niren."

"Then that means... you are an emissary from Praed?"

"You can think so."

"If that's the case, then why didn't you come to Sloss through the normal diplomatic channel, but sneaked in secretly."

"Joke, we came in through the gate of the city in a fair manner, and sneaked in?"

"But you concealed your identity."

"Then if I say that I didn't report our identities, it's because of some special reasons."

"For the safety of Sloss, for the order here, no matter what special reason..."

"No matter what the special reason is? You said it. I can tell you that the purpose of our coming here is to meet Nieren. If you believe us, or you don't believe it, anyway, as long as you send us to see Nieren, everything will be revealed. But if you insist on going through your procedure, it's fine, but it will delay things...I'm afraid that you, the head of the small border force, can't afford it...My lord."

Chapter 69. A Dutiful Noble (Lipatia)

In fact, this reason may not be easy to use. Anyway, Niren is the lord of Sloss, and if we really came to see Niren with some kind of diplomatic mission, then we should go through formal channels, sneak into Sloss like this, and even threaten to see Niren. What kind of diplomatic mission is this?If this kind of thing happened in any other territory, or if it happened to Goloy, he would definitely not buy it.

But looking at Shimo's hesitant attitude, we feel that things seem to have turned around.

If possible, we don't want to cause any trouble. No matter what, we treat Sloss as half of our own. A fire in the backyard when this kind of tension is severe will not benefit the Demon King's joint forces at all.

Maybe it's because we are indeed of noble birth, and we don't seem to be here to make trouble, but even so, why did we enter Sloss in such a low-key manner?All these seemingly contradictory questions made Shimo frowned inadvertently and looked us up and down, but he still seemed unwilling to show his weakness too clearly.

"Please wait a moment." After the machine said coldly, Shimo immediately turned and went out the door, and the soldiers at the door closed the door immediately.

Goloy looked at the door and didn't speak for a long time, because I was standing behind him, so I didn't see his expression.

"What now." I asked.

"This is really tricky. Our bodies are not used to the magic source field of Sloss. If we really want to be tough, and if there is a mistake, it will be a big mess..."

"So if possible, should we try to solve it with words?" I put both hands on Goloy's shoulders and asked sideways.

"Damn, why didn't I expect such a troublesome thing to happen."

It may be because we are too confident in our own strength. Since we have been to the ancient hell and come back, our strength is stronger than any demon in hell, but this powerful individual power has not brought us too much. With many advantages, it is clear that although we can destroy many things, destruction does not serve our purpose.

Shimo should be thinking about countermeasures, or trying to find a way to contact Niren, and we are also thinking about a solution, but in fact, we just chatted casually, because now we are under house arrest, our choice is not Not much, we can only see how this noble lord judges us later.

It may be that the situation is too urgent, or that the seasoned Shimo has his own experience in this sudden situation. All in all, it didn't take too long for him to return.

"Sorry to keep you two waiting."

Before the door was fully opened, he walked in quickly with enough space for his body to pass, talking to us.

Goloy sighed, then slowly stood up from the bed, pretending to be calm and leisurely walked in front of Shimo.

"So, what's your decision?" Goloy asked.

"Since this is a special situation, we have decided to escort the two of you to meet Lord Nirren."

"Escort? I think you mean... Escort."

"Please understand that although I trust you to a certain extent, I cannot allow the two of you to act alone in Sloss because of my responsibilities, so we can give you two freedom within a limited range, but out of safety considerations, whether it is your safety or the safety of Sloss, we must take some measures, so..."

"Okay, don't need to say so much, I understand, it's just... I have a request."

"Please speak."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that Shimo's attitude is much gentler than before, although on the surface, it is a hypocritical aristocratic face that has become a habit.

"First of all, since we are escorts, that means we are not prisoners, so I don't want to be treated like prisoners."

"Of course."

"Second, this means that our food and housing must be adequately guaranteed. I am very picky."

"Please don't worry about this too."

"Third, we're going to ride in our own vehicle."

"I can promise you this too, is there any other request?"

Although this is not an excessive request, Shimo's accommodating agreement still surprised us a little.

Maybe because I couldn't think of anything else, Goloy turned around and looked at me, and I could only shrug my shoulders.

"No, that's basically it. If there are any other requirements, I will mention them to you again."

"Okay, I see. Then, when do you want to go?"

"If possible, the sooner the better, there is an urgent matter, I must see Niren immediately and discuss with him, so avoid all unnecessary steps, the sooner the better."

"I see, then if you're ready, we can go now," Shmo said.

He didn't lie to us. After getting the request to leave, he immediately organized a guard to "escort" us. Apart from ordinary soldiers, there were also demons in uniforms. It seemed that they were officers of special security forces, and there was no doubt that Shimo was among them.

Although it is said that Belphegor's major crime is "laziness", the actions of these people are not lazy at all.

"That, Lord Shimo."

"Just call me by my name."

Before getting into the car, Goloy suddenly remembered something and needed to explain it to Shimo.

"We're a little hungry. I don't know if you prepared this meal for us."

"Of course no problem. I'll order someone to prepare meals for you right away."

"Thank you." Goloy also expressed some basic politeness and respect. "I'm really surprised, as the head of the special security force, you are still a nobleman, why can you behave so...humble."

Shimo smiled. He didn't seem surprised by Goloy's question. It seemed that Goloy was not the first person to say this about him.

"I have my self-esteem, but I also have my responsibilities. I work for the great Sloth, so as long as it is necessary for work, my personal dignity can be put aside."

"I guess your job isn't always this suave."

"You are right. If I feel that you two are a threat and I don't believe you, then the me you see now may be completely different."
