The words of the Githyanki leader seemed to have poked Søren's weakness, and he could not help but hesitate.
The ancient god's corpse!
This was an existence that many people knew about, but they might not have the chance to encounter it.
Even during the Avatar Crisis, many gods liked to wander in the Astral World, but the probability of encountering the ancient god's corpse was much lower than encountering Abominations, Astral Beasts, and Hecatoncheires. Even the gods did not know where the boundary of the boundless Astral World was. Perhaps only those with great divine power could see different things beyond the boundaries of the multiverse.
In terms of probability, the Githyanki, who had been wandering in the Astral World all their lives, had the highest probability of encountering the ancient god's corpse.
There was such a passage recorded in the Pantheon.
— — "At the beginning of the multiverse, the demons came uninvited!"
From then on, the war between order and chaos began. The first ancient gods and demons fought in the Pantheon. At that time, the demons of Orbis had not been born, let alone the current demons of Tanar 'ri. In the long battle, countless ancient demons died, but there were also the first ancient gods of order who fell, and their corpses stayed in the Astral World. After thousands of years, they did not decay and disappear, but they were shrouded in a special power that floated in the Astral World forever.
"Do you really know where the ancient god's corpse is?"
Søren frowned and stared at the Githyanki leader in front of him. For him, the value of the ancient god's corpse was indeed much higher than that of a group of slaves. If the other party really knew where the ancient god's corpse was, then it was not a big deal to give them freedom.
"Yes."
The Githyanki leader nodded and said in a deep voice, "I swear in the name of the Silver Blade of Githyanki!"
It seemed to be true.
When the other party spoke, Søren cast a spell to detect lies.
This was a very simple choice. Søren quickly made a decision and said, "Okay! As long as you tell me where the ancient god's corpse is, I will give you freedom! "
As a god of the order camp, Søren's promise was more important than that of other gods.
However, the Githyanki leader was still very careful. He said cautiously, "It's not that I don't believe you. But this is related to the safety of the entire clan. I still hope that you can draft a contract. "
It seemed like he was a guy who knew the market.
He knew that negotiating with an evil god was like signing a contract with a devil. Such a contract was obviously much more effective than an oral oath.
Søren didn't have any questions. With a wave of his hand, he drew up a contract and handed it to the other party. "Take a look. If there's no problem, then leave your spiritual imprint. "
The leader of the Githyankis carefully looked at it several times before carefully leaving a spiritual imprint.
Then, he used telepathy to tell Søren a location.
It was a special place.
It was very close to the [Clockwork Nirvana's Mechanical Mirror], located in a special area near the Order Space.
"Respected Lord of Shadows!"
After the leader of the Githyankis told Søren the location of the ancient god's corpse, he carefully looked at his face and slowly said: "I have now told you the location of the ancient god's corpse, so can you let us go now?"
Søren looked up at him and waved his hand to let the Golems give the Githyankis their freedom.
However.
Just when the leader of the Githyankis was about to return to the Astral Stronghold, Søren frowned and said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute!"
"I only promised to give you freedom!"
"I didn't promise to return the spoils that belong to me to you!"
Having said that, Søren stretched out his hand and spread out the contract in his palm. There was a smile at the corner of his mouth. He looked like a cunning devil and slowly said: "There is no such clause in the contract."
The leader of the Githyankis' expression suddenly became stiff.
Yes.
He was thinking about how to let his people escape this disaster, but he didn't expect that according to the rules of the Astral Boundary, all the wealth of his clan would be Søren's spoils of war, and his request was only to give his people freedom. The contract only stated that Søren could not turn them into slaves and set them free, but there was no indication that he needed to return the Astral Stronghold to them.
Damn evil god!
Damn devil!
Although he wanted to fight Søren to the death, the leader of the Githyankis took a deep breath and tried to endure all this. He lowered his head and said: "Great Shadow Lord!"
"Without the Astral Stronghold, we can only become refugees in the Astral Boundary. Even if the master has freedom, there is no way to survive."
Without the Astral Stronghold, this clan would be finished.
The Astral Stronghold was equivalent to an independent half-bitwall. The birth of each Astral Stronghold required the high-grade legendary psionic Warlocks of the Githyankis to use [Genesis] to open up a half-bitwall, and then slowly turn it into an Astral Stronghold. Without the Astral Stronghold, his people would lose their foundation. The warlord leader would also become a refugee, and the freedom he had just gained would be meaningless.
The devil's trick.
Everything Søren did was just a means used by the devils. As an orderly evil god, it was natural for him to use some of the evil means of the devils.
Moreover!
He didn't violate his contract at all. He had done everything that was said in the contract.
As for these Githyankis who couldn't even leave after losing the Astral Stronghold, that was not something he needed to care about.
However.
The leader of the Githyankis in front of him was obviously a flexible guy. He immediately lowered his head humbly and said: "I don't know what we need to do for your Excellency to return the Astral Stronghold to us?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Søren's mouth.
He liked to deal with smart people, especially smart people who were sensible, so he slowly said: "This Astral Stronghold belongs to me."
"But such a big Astral Stronghold obviously takes up a lot of space."
"I think it would be a good thing if we could sell it as soon as possible."
Sell it?
When the leader of the Githyankis heard this, his face suddenly twitched. He felt his heart ache, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "If that's the case!"
"Your Excellency might as well sell this Astral Stronghold back to us!"
He took the bait.
Regardless of whether the other party was willing or not, this was what Søren wanted, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "You? Although I have promised to give you freedom! "
"But you have just been my captives, and you have no money!"
"If it weren't for my mercy, you wouldn't have left anything valuable on you!"
"I'm curious. What did you use to buy such a valuable Astral Stronghold?"
"I think maybe we should find another buyer of the Githyankis. Maybe they will be willing to pay a high price!"
Next to him.
Gloria had been silently watching everything in front of her, and Fallen Witch also looked at Søren curiously. It was not until this moment that the two legendary witches knew the real purpose of Søren. When they heard this, they couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise, and then a playful smile appeared at the corner of their mouths.
Because Søren was really bad!
Wasn't it obvious that he had dug a huge pit and waited for the leader of the Githyankis to jump into it?
This was obviously a trap!
Furthermore, it was an unprecedentedly huge pit!
But knowing that this was a super huge trap, the leader of the Githyankis still jumped into it without hesitation, because if he didn't jump, he would lose everything. The anger of his people alone was enough to tear him apart.
"I'll buy it!"
The leader of the Githyankis gritted his teeth and said: "Although we don't have any wealth now! But just give us some time, we can buy it! "
"Contract!"
"I hope your Excellency can give us a contract on credit! As long as your Excellency can return the Astral Stronghold to us first! No matter how much it costs, we will slowly return it to your Excellency! "
Søren finally showed a smile and said lightly: "I am a kind person."
"Since you are so sincere."
"Then it's not impossible for us to talk about it! If you only use gold to pay for the Astral Stronghold, then it's obviously very difficult! "
"But I am a very kind god!"
"So I can accept your payment in various ways, such as diamonds, weapons, equipment, minerals, soul crystals, rare materials, and so on! "
"Now."
"Let's assess the value of this Astral Stronghold first, and then we can slowly finalize the contract!"
Søren said with a smile, and his voice became much more cordial.
However, the leader of the Githyankis in front of him looked as if he was facing a great enemy, because he knew that the whole clan was going to be cheated. For a long time in the future, he was afraid that he would have to work for the evil god in front of him for free to pay the ransom of the Astral Stronghold. But at this time, he couldn't care so much. Anyway, the ransom was paid by the whole clan. As long as he could keep his position as the leader, it would be fine.
As for Gloria and Fallen Witch next to him, their eyes became brighter and brighter as they listened. In the end, they couldn't help but laugh.
If they could have a Githyankis clan to serve them and collect all kinds of rare materials.
Then their future research work would be much easier!
Today, this group of Githyankis came to rob, but they didn't expect that after Søren's means, they would become children of wealth who came to give them a big gift.
Now!
They finally knew why the city of Mordor could rise so quickly in the hands of Søren.
Such means.
He was as cunning as the devil!
However.
At this moment, the more they looked at Søren, the happier they felt.
An evil god of the lawful evil camp didn't need any reason to cheat people. The two legendary witches felt that this approach was in line with Søren's identity. Even the Githyankis felt that there was nothing wrong because the other party was a powerful evil god. He just fell into the evil god's trap because he was too careless.
The good thing about the evil gods was that they would never be bound and kidnapped by morality.
