Chapter 627 The Duke of Hell’s Treasure House
The lustful maid brought Mo Cheng and Helena to the Duke of Hell's treasury. Under normal circumstances, they could only choose the rewards they wanted from the booklet, and entering the treasury to choose in person was out of the question.
But before leaving, the Duke of Hell instructed the succubus maid to bring Mo Cheng and Helena to the treasury and let him choose.
Mo Cheng had no intention of refusing this obvious gesture of goodwill. Besides, he had helped the Duke of Hell to seriously injure Zariel, which was a great favor to the other party.
For this extra effort, it was very kind to only accept three things from the other party.
However, even if the Duke of Hell opened his treasure house, Mo Cheng had no intention of taking everything away.
Mo Cheng had no intention of continuing to cooperate with the Duke of Hell to push him to the throne of the Lord of Hell. At the same time, the Duke of Hell was also wary of Mo Cheng's military power.
Obviously, for a long time to come, Mo Cheng had no intention of having any connection with Baator Hell. After all, Baator Hell has nine levels, and the nine hell lords are not easy to deal with.
After entering the treasury through the token of the Duke of Hell, Mo Cheng casually looked at the things placed inside, while the lust maid followed behind him.
She was not a monitor, she just answered Mo Cheng when he had questions. After all, even Mo Cheng could not figure out all the collections of a Duke of Hell.
In fact, even the Duke of Hell himself did not remember every item in his collection so clearly.
After looking around the Duke of Hell's treasury, Mo Cheng pointed at an object that looked like a big drum and asked, "What is this thing?"
It was a big drum filled with a dark red color after dried blood. The drumhead was cracked, but when you got close to it, you could still hear the thunderous drum sound, which made people's blood begin to boil.
"This is a relic of a kingdom that was destroyed. The king signed a contract and sold the souls of all the people in his family's bloodline in exchange for a war drum that can summon an army of undead souls. But in the end, it was still unable to stop the enemy's army. The king was nailed to the throne by the paladin, and the war drum was also damaged in the war."
Mo Cheng glanced at the lustful maid. Although she did not specify it clearly, it was obvious that the guy who signed the contract with the king was most likely the Duke of Hell.
But there was still one thing he didn't understand, " Why is this thing still in the treasury if it's broken ?"
The maid paused for a moment before she hesitantly answered Mo Cheng's question, "Because the master only wanted one or two souls from the king's family, but he didn't expect the king to sell all his bloodline. The king paid several times the price of the item itself, so it is very memorable."
Mo Cheng understood what he meant. He probably set up a stall to sell the porcelain he made last week, but was cheated and forced to buy it at the price of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Then he pointed to another object, which was a sharp sword that was flashing with cold light. At first glance, you could tell that it was a good sword.
"This sword was a failed work of a blacksmith, abandoned in an unknown corner. Many years later, it made a beggar become a king."
The succubus maid also did not fully understand the origins of everything in the treasury. After all, the Duke of Hell seldom let anyone into his treasury, so the succubus maid could only explain some items based on the descriptions left by the devil's words next to them.
After continuing to ask about the origins of several things of interest, Mo Cheng pointed to a wooden box and asked again.
It was a piece of unknown wood. It had the texture of wood but was also harder than metal. The material of the wood looked a bit like sandalwood. It was quite heavy to hold and there was no gap that could be opened.
It was as if this was not a box, but a piece of wood that grew naturally into this shape.
This was found in a corner of the treasury, pressed at the bottom among many messy items, indicating that the owner of the treasury did not value this item.
Even the succubus maid was a little confused about what this thing was. It took her a while to find the description left by the devil in the corner. But she didn't know if it was because no one had come to this place for a long time, so the words were a little incomplete.
The maid took great pains to decipher it. "This is a [Protection...Contract]. It seems to be the work of a certain master. It allows two parties to sign a certain protection contract. The main body can share and strengthen its own power with the secondary body through the contract..."
"I'm very sorry, the text here has almost disappeared, and I can't interpret more specific information."
Protection contract?
Mo Cheng had never heard of such a contract, but there were various kinds of contracts in the world, so it was normal that a monk who was not an expert in this field had never heard of it.
It's just that the effect of this thing makes Mo Cheng somewhat tempted. Sharing one's own power to protect and strengthen the individuals who have signed the contract is undoubtedly a very useful ability for Mo Cheng.
If this thing can really work as it says, and after signing a contract with Mishas or Helena and others, Mo Cheng won't have to be restricted when doing things.
But some things still require patient inquiry. Mo Cheng looked at the box in his hand and asked, "How do I use this thing?"
A [Magic Item Analysis] swept over the box in Mo Cheng's hand, and the Lust Demon Maid explained:
"Use your power to wrap this box and let it absorb your power. It is not a finished product. Only after this step can it be completely completed. Any power will do, even holy light. But after it is completed, it will belong to you alone."
Holy light appeared directly in Mo Cheng's hands and wrapped the box. He did not just listen to the other party's one-sided words, but let the holy light invade every aspect of the box. He did not need to find out if there was any hidden hand in it, it was enough to wash it with this pure white holy light.
The tyrannical holy light will purify everything that is malicious or is subjectively believed to be malicious.
And this box was actually absorbing the holy light, but before Mo Cheng allowed it, the holy light was like the hardest stone, and was not moved at all by the suction of the box.
Then Mo Cheng's mind moved, and in addition to the holy light, he transformed all the skills he possessed into energy and wrapped it in it.
Suddenly, holy light danced with the dark night, savagery and wisdom walked together, the deep sea and fire blended together...
The black wooden box now turned into a colorful black that only existed in Party A's words .
Even Mo Cheng suspected that he had broken this thing, but after careful observation, he found that it seemed to be still working, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
