Seeing that Julia's attitude toward Vulgrim was extremely bad, Roy finally figured out what was going on after asking.
How should he put it? Vulgrim could be said to be an exception among demons. He was completely different from the warlike and bloodthirsty demons of ordinary demons. Vulgrim was simply cowardly. Almost all the souls he obtained were from trading with others, and he had never personally fought or plundered souls. Among the demons of this world, Vulgrim's demon name was synonymous with cowardice!
It would have been fine if it were just this. It was normal for there to be one or two weirdos among so many demons. But what the demons could not tolerate the most was that Vulgrim had actually learned to be as shameless as human merchants. Not only did he trade with demons, but he also traded with angels, and he could even trade with the Charred Council, which was the object that both demons and angels hated in this world.
This caused the three forces, be it demons, angels, or the Charred Council, to have no good impression of Vulgrim. They could trade with him when needed, but when they did not trade, they regarded him as an ant!
Lowly! This word was the most suitable to describe Vulgrim. Even though Vulgrim had the power of a high-rank demon, in essence, high-rank demons regarded him as scum, and they were ashamed to acknowledge his status.
Although Julia was a fallen angel, she was influenced by the demons and never had any good impression of Vulgrim, so she spoke ill of him as soon as he appeared.
On the other hand, Roy did not know much about Vulgrim because he had not stayed in this world for a long time. In order to deepen Roy's impression of Vulgrim, Julia pointed at the pair of demon wings on his back and said to Roy, "Do you see those incomplete wings? That's the punishment of the other high-rank demons. Such a shameless guy is simply not worthy of being called a demon! "
Roy looked at the pair of wings behind Vulgrim and found that it was really as Julia had said. They were simply incomplete. The demon wings that should have been broad and domineering only had a small section of the roots left on Vulgrim's back. Vulgrim wrapped the wounds with bandages, wrapping them like a pair of crispy chicken wings, and they would move from time to time …
No wonder when Roy had not completed his promotion and was still a middle-rank demon, Vulgrim had always been humble when he saw him. It turned out that this guy understood his situation and was very careful when dealing with every transaction partner.
Looking at Vulgrim, who did not dare to move under Julia's sword, Roy shook his head. "Your appearance really subverts my impression of demons …"
However, Vulgrim didn't mind at all. "Nature! Lord Osiris, this is nature! Wasn't there a saying among humans that one's nature couldn't be taken away? Although I live a lowly life, I've lived longer than most demons. Many of them died in battle, but I can continue to witness history. It's hard to say who benefits more! "
Roy stretched out his claws and pressed down on Julia's sword, making her put it down. Then he said to Vulgrim, "You're a rift demon, so you can freely travel to any place in this world and any space. Naturally, you can see many … people! Vulgrim, I need you to help me find someone! "
"I'm happy to serve you, Your Excellency Osiris!" Without the threat of the sword, Vulgrim revealed a humble smile. "I'm willing to do any business, even if it's to find someone … So, who do you want me to find?"
"The nephilim, or the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!" Roy said.
Hearing this, Vulgrim was stunned. "Are … are you sure you're not wrong?"
"That's right! I'm looking for a Horseman of the Apocalypse! "Roy nodded in confirmation.
"I have to say, Your Excellency Osiris, did you get stimulated in the battle with the angel Uriel?" Vulgrim said in astonishment. "You actually want to take the initiative to find a Horseman of the Apocalypse? Do you know what those horsemen will do if they see a demon like you? "
"Of course I know. They might kill me!" Roy said. "But they might also listen to a few words from me, right?"
Indeed, in the past few days, Roy had thought about it carefully. If it were when War had just descended, it would have been suicidal for a demon like him to take the initiative to approach a Horseman of the Apocalypse. But the situation now seemed a little different. According to the time, War had already been summoned back by the Charred Council to be imprisoned, and his other three brothers should be running around to rescue him, right?
Under such circumstances, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse could no longer care about the war between angels and demons. As long as they could provide them with some help, even if it was the words of demons, they should choose to listen.
Meeting a Horseman of the Apocalypse was indeed very risky, but at the same time, this risk was not necessarily greater than meeting the Mad Queen Lilith …
Seeing that Roy was so certain, Vulgrim was stunned for a moment. After a moment of silence, he rubbed his hands together. "Okay, since Your Excellency Osiris insists, then I will help you. Moreover, it's a coincidence. Before coming here, I happened to see a Horseman of the Apocalypse!"
"Huh?! In the human world? " Roy was a little surprised. He originally thought that he might be able to use Vulgrim's ability to go to an alternate space and meet Death, one of the Four Horsemen, who represented death. But he did not expect to hear unexpected news from Vulgrim.
"Yes, in the human world!" Vulgrim nodded. "And it's Fury! I can think of a way for you to meet her, but I have to remind you that that woman is very difficult to deal with, very difficult! If you want to say something to her, you'd better be mentally prepared! "
"Fury? Why is she in the human world? "Roy reached out and touched his demon horns as he pondered.
In fact, Roy did not know much about the plot development of the Darksiders world. Even when he was reborn as a demon, the story about Fury, one of the Four Horsemen, had not come out yet …
"Uh, she seems to have been sent by the council!" Vulgrim said. "It's said that she's here to capture the Seven Deadly Sins!"
"The council sent her? Strange. Didn't they summon War back when he descended? The seal hasn't been broken, so the council can't interfere! Why did they send Fury here? What are the Seven Deadly Sins? What does it have to do with the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Kings? "Roy thought to himself but did not say it out loud.
Roy did not know that although Fury had indeed been sent by the Charred Council, she had come in another name. She was here to hunt down the 'Seven Deadly Sins' who had escaped from the Charred Council's prison!
Due to the fact that the last seal had not been broken, the Charred Council could not intervene in this End War and could only watch helplessly as angels and demons wreaked havoc in the human world. But it was obviously impossible to just watch, so the Charred Council was actually secretly taking action and making some small moves. In fact, War's inexplicable descent into the human world was caused by the Charred Council. War did not lie. He had indeed felt the power of the summoning, but this summoning was caused by the Charred Council.
As early as when Abaddon and Azriel destroyed the seal, the Charred Council had already understood their purpose and was very dissatisfied with their unauthorized destruction of the seal. But it also suffered from Abaddon's actions that did not truly break the contract and only exploited loopholes and loopholes in the contract. Without any concrete evidence, they could not get the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to descend to punish Abaddon, so they simply played a scheme. They first made War descend in violation of the rules and then deprived War of his power and summoned him back! They said that he had broken the contract and violated the rules.
By doing this, they were actually framing War, and the council knew very well that War was an extremely honorable knight. After being wronged, he would definitely want revenge in order to restore his reputation. This way, the council could use him to kill Abaddon, who would become the Destroyer …
During the period of imprisoning War, considering that the flow of time was different, the war and destruction of angels and demons in the human world had to be restrained, so the council used the escape of the Seven Deadly Sins as an excuse to send Fury.
When Vulgrim encountered Fury, it was not long after she descended to the human world …
Roy did not know this at this moment, but it did not hinder his actions. He only needed to find a suitable time to see Fury.
And all of this required the help of Vulgrim.
This was a deal, but it was not worth paying Uriel's soul to Vulgrim as the price, so Roy quickly negotiated with Vulgrim. As long as Vulgrim brought him to Fury, he would give him five hundred souls as a reward …
