"In the current situation, there are many possibilities, but the biggest possibilities are nothing more than two."
Luo Shu was eating while explaining his thoughts to Honjo Niya. For him, a Chinese, talking about things while eating was a habit that he couldn't change:
"One is that a big shot in the real hell ordered this viscount to capture Gokawa Kotori."
"The other is that this Viscount of Hell has some kind of need for Kotori."
"If it was the former, you would have only mentioned the Stargate that the Grand Duke was targeting, without mentioning the Viscount of Hell. That's why I think the second possibility is more likely."
"That is to say, this Viscount of Hell himself has some kind of need for Gokawa Kotori's existence."
"So, for demons who are divided into classes based on strength, what kind of demand is the greatest demand?"
“The results speak for themselves.”
Luo Shu exhaled lightly, picked up the coffee drink beside him, unscrewed the cap, gulped down a mouthful, and then said:
"Only promotion is the greatest pursuit of a demon!"
"So, I guess that Gokawa Kotori's existence is related to the promotion ceremony of this Viscount of Hell."
"Haha, the power system I know is very similar to the real hell. If that's the case, some things shouldn't be much different."
"So, the promotion of heroes to demigods and apostles to angels is a leap in the essence of life. The same is true for demons."
Speaking of this, Luo Shu had a bit of a sigh on his face:
"When a hero is promoted to a demigod, it is the initial step to transcend the inhuman, while when an apostle is promoted to an angel, it is truly transcending mortals and becoming a high-level life form!"
"Therefore, these two steps require the assistance of rituals!"
"Comparatively speaking, the apostle stage is simpler. It does not require complicated rituals. As long as you have accumulated enough and understand the nature of your own power, you can take that step, condense the embryonic form of power, and become an apostle who exercises divine power."
At this point, Luo Shu couldn't help but sneer:
"Although I admit that the potential of the elves is great, even if Kurumi and Rokuko become my followers and realize some of their potential, they are only the beginning of becoming demigods with unstable foundations."
"And the power of Gokawa Kotori, who is not one of my followers, must be even weaker. She should only be at the hero level."
"A Kotori of this level should not be qualified to become an apostle-level viscount and be promoted to the angel level, right?"
Hearing Luo Shu say this, Honjo Niya, who was lying on the bed with her hands on her cheeks, swung her legs and said:
"It's just like you said, it's just that the heroic Kotori really isn't that important."
"So, the Viscount of Hell's request to the Hell Cult was to give priority to recovering Qin Li's power crystal."
"Recover the Spirit Crystal?" Luo Shu thought about the source of the spirit's power, the object called the Spirit Crystal. "What can the Viscount do if he gets the Spirit Crystal?"
"Could it be that he cultivated a spirit that could serve as a sacrifice in his ritual?"
"Practically speaking, the person who serves as the sacrifice for this kind of ritual will most likely need to be someone of the same level, right?"
"In other words, the Viscount of Hell wants to kill Kotori and then train an 'Apostle' level 'Flame Spirit'?"
"Why does he have to go to so much trouble?"
Luo Shu did not hide his disgust.
After all, spiritual crystals also have an evaluation system called adaptability.
And in Luo Shu's eyes, Gokawa Kotori is the most qualified person for the 'fifth quality: severity'.
Isn't it absurd to do this with the intention of killing Kotori and replacing her?
Hearing Luo Shu's disgusted voice, Honjo Niya shook her little feet and couldn't help laughing:
"Haha, that Viscount of Hell doesn't have sources of intelligence like you and me."
"So for him, it doesn't matter who becomes the Fire Demon. What matters is that he can exert this power to the level of an apostle so that he can fulfill the conditions of the ritual."
"In fact, if his source of information is wider, it would be possible to target Kurumi and Rokuko. After all, Kurumi and Rokuko can meet the requirements of his ritual."
Hearing this, Luo Shu's eyebrows jumped: "You mean the requirements of the ceremony are not limited to Qinli, but to the elves?"
"As long as it is an elf, it is enough to satisfy the ritual of the Viscount of Hell?"
Suddenly, Luo Shu thought of a possibility and blurted out:
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, the requirement for the promotion ceremony of the Viscount of Hell, isn't it that he has to kill an 'angel' belonging to God?"
Chapter 128 The Devil Viscount's Purpose
"Did you guess it so quickly?"
Hearing Luo Shu's words, Honjo Niya was also very surprised:
"I thought it would take you a long time to figure it out..."
"It seems that this is the effect of your precognitive ability gained from your elite class, 'Revelation'?"
The reason why Benjo Niya knew about the 'Revelation' was because of Luo Shu's confession last night.
Luo Shu didn't mind giving Honjo Niya, who had exchanged her first time for Luo Shu's Nth time, the trust he had second only to his family, so naturally he didn't mind the leakage of some information.
Of course, some core information must be kept strictly confidential. After all, telling a little bit of information is a sign of trust, but telling all the secrets is stupid.
"I actually killed an angel..."
Luo Shu felt a little bit uncomfortable. After all, the difficulty of this promotion was really high.
"...Let an apostle-level being kill an angel-level being? -"
Luo Shu thought of this outrageous request, immediately shook his head and complained:
“Just think about how difficult it is.”
"If you think about it this way, the Viscount actually came up with a tricky way to accomplish it."
At this point, Luo Shu thought of what he had learned from Tokisaki Kurumi about the abilities of elves:
"Kyousan once told me that when she was in the Apostle stage, she could draw in more power from the God class and bring her power to a level close to that of an Angel."
"Assuming that such an apostle-level spirit can be considered an incomplete angel in mysticism, can the conditions of the ritual be reduced in difficulty accordingly?"
"For example, using a rare 'Apostle' class to replace an angel's role in the ceremony, thereby completing the promotion ceremony in a tricky way?"
"Could it be that the Viscount of Hell had thought of this in some way, and that's why he wanted to take advantage of Kotori?"
"If you can't kill an angel, kill a 'fake angel' to complete the ritual?"
"Completely correct!"
After saying this, Honjo Niya sighed and said with a somewhat depressed expression:
"Speaking of which, what exactly is your class? If your inspiration is so high, you can guess the truth with just a casual association..."
"I always feel like your ideas, Luo Shu, are sometimes assisted by God?"
God help?
You might as well just say that the God Group System can passively increase my inspiration, allowing me to instinctively feel what the truth is... Although Luo Shu complained in his heart, he also vaguely felt that this might indeed be the truth, at least one of the truths.
In other words, the God Group System can indeed increase his inspiration and allow him to instinctively get closer to the truth.
Some kind of passive ability of the Apocalypse? The God Group System is gradually making me adapt to higher-level power.
Luo Shu shook his head and did not delve into these matters for the time being. Instead, he turned his thoughts to the main topic:
"It seems that the rank that this Viscount wants to be promoted to is very powerful! So even if it takes risks and requires a reluctant ceremony, he must try to be promoted."
There is actually a huge gap between job levels.
A warlock who simply possesses abilities will inevitably be crushed when facing an ordinary class.
Ordinary classes are powerless to resist rare classes, or even classes that can only be possessed by one person.
For example, Luo Shu's 'Disaster King' class can master the basic methods of demigod level at the heroic level, thus escaping from the hands of ordinary demigods at the heroic level.
This leapfrogging feature is one of the manifestations of the power of rare classes.
There is not much difference between a weakling facing a rare-class hero and a demigod, it is nothing more than a matter of a concept entanglement attack.
Crush those of the same level and save your life at the hands of those of a higher level, this is the power of rare classes.
And this strength comes from the harshness of promotion.
In Luo Shu's opinion, an Apostle must kill an angel to be promoted to an Angel. Such a perverted requirement must be a 'rare class', or even a rarer class.
Luo Shu was somewhat tempted by this rank, after all, he also had demons under his command.
For example, Kisara and Anya are both pure-blooded demons.
This is most likely a rare class exclusive to demons, and both Kisara and Anya might be able to use it.
But ideas are just ideas. Luo Shu is unable to take action to rob a demon viscount.
After all, his world does not support the arrival of apostle-level demons from the real hell.
Even coming down to the demigod level is quite troublesome and often requires a considerable price to pay.
According to Niya Honjou, the price is enough to make even the Demon Marquis heartbroken.
He is a great figure above the angels, close to the throne of God.
If there really was a Marquis of Hell who paid such a huge price just to send a few demigods to deal with him, Luo Shu felt that it would be better for the Marquis to simply transfer the money to his card and he would pretend to commit suicide.
This is called no middleman making a profit from the price difference!
Seeing Luo Shu's excited expression, Honjo Niya said "eh", then narrowed his eyes, looked at him and said:
· 0Request flowers··· ········
"Look at your expression, Luo Shu. Are you moved?"
"It's just a thought. I don't have the intention to challenge an apostle head-on."
Luo Shu shook his head, then glanced at Honjo Niya, and said with a somewhat amused expression:
"But I did realize one thing."
"You frequently investigate the intelligence of the real hell, and you also use the Whispering Chapter to investigate the secrets of a Viscount of Hell. Are you sure nothing has gone wrong? Not even once?"
"You know, 'Divination is not omnipotent!' It was you who told me this."
Hearing this, Honjo Niya waved his hands and said with a smile:
"Well, it's normal for something unexpected to happen when you use your heroic status to divine the true hell, and specifically target the privacy of an apostle-level viscount~"
.... . ....
Hearing this, Luo Shu did not refute. It was normal for low-level divination to be backfired by high-level divination.
In other words, the fact that Benjo Nia was able to obtain the information that the Viscount wanted to hide under such circumstances can be attributed entirely to the proclamation, and her own role was not a big factor.
"Pack your things this afternoon and move directly to the headquarters of the Secret Management Department."
"No way, no way? It's just one night, Luo Shu, and you want to turn me into your canary?"
Honjo Niya pretended to be surprised and looked at Luo Shu. She moved her body, stretched out her smooth feet, and gently pushed Luo Shu's body and said:
"Are you so fascinated by my elder sister's body?"
"Yeah, yesterday he forced me to wear the elf's spiritual clothes and do that thing, and he even tore the clothes apart~"
"You are such a bad-hearted person~"
"I'm just worried that you might get killed if you live outside."
Luo Shu gave her an unpleasant look, took out a few tissues from the tissue box beside him, wiped his mouth, and stood up.
Seeing this, Honjo Niya was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and said:
"Wait, where are you going? You haven't even finished breakfast."
"I don't have much of an appetite today, so I'm going to go back to the department to take care of things."
Luo Shu picked up the clothes hanging on the hanger next to him and turned to look at Honjo Niya:
"I'll arrange for someone to come over and move the house this afternoon. By the way, do you think you need to tell me my phone number?"
"No need to be so anxious..." Honjo Niya grumbled, but gave up trying to persuade him to stay, waving his hand and saying, "Okay, see you next time."
Luo Shu nodded after hearing this, waved goodbye, and turned to leave the small.
