It was a long mahogany staircase. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Raas felt that the staircase was endless.
He grabbed the handrail and looked up. Because there was no light above, he could only see the three-story staircase. It was dark above.
The lord is up there. Go find him yourself.
When Halla said this to him, Raas felt very excited, but he soon realized the seriousness of the matter.
From the outside, although the building looked very tall, it definitely didn't have so many floors. Raas remembered that he had walked at least a dozen flights of stairs. He should have reached the top.
But the fact was that he was still in the endless staircase, and he still couldn't see the end.
Magic.
This mysterious and terrible thing, he believed that it must be magic. Did the lord of the earth not want to see him?
Raas gritted his teeth. His legs were very tired and even began to hurt.
He sat on the stairs and rested for a while, but he still stood up.
"No! I can't give up. "
He encouraged himself, then stood up with the handrail and continued to move forward.
Strangely, he thought he would go to the dark staircase, but he found that every time he reached a place where there was no light, the light in front of him seemed to sense his presence and suddenly lit up.
At first, he was startled, but then he slowly got used to it.
In this way, he kept climbing and climbing.
He forgot how long he had been climbing. His legs were tired, began to hurt, and gradually began to become numb and weak.
No, I can't go on.
Raas suddenly knelt on the ground and accidentally rolled down. He simply put his elbow on the ground to stabilize his body.
There was a faint pain all over his body. Raas gasped for air and climbed up. He could barely stand up, let alone take a step.
"No, I have to continue …"
He felt that his body was a little out of control. His muscles began to tremble, and his bones were about to fall apart.
Even so, he didn't give up. He lay on the ground, using his wrist to support himself, and climbed up little by little.
No matter what, he had to see the lord and beg him to save Marge.
He continued to climb with all his strength. His arm was slowly rubbed by the wooden floor, but he didn't care. Compared to the pain Marge suffered, this pain was nothing!
But at this moment, he heard the sound of a cane hitting the floor.
Dong ~
The next moment, he found himself in a dark room. He was lying on the ground, and other than his own body, he could not see anything.
"Is anyone there?"
He was a little scared. He couldn't tell north from south, east from west, and he couldn't even tell up from down. He was floating, and his senses were in a mess. A nauseating feeling of vomiting came over him, but he resisted it.
But the fear was beyond his control. He felt suffocated.
"Is anyone there?!"
He shouted, but there wasn't even an echo. What the hell was this place? How did he end up in a place like this?
Suddenly, a terrifying giant statue appeared in front of him. It looked like a demon with huge wings. Its face seemed to be wearing a devil mask, and it was full of fangs. In front of it, Raas was as tiny as an ant.
It was human nature to be afraid of giant creatures, and Russ was very scared.
"Kid, what are you doing here?"
The colossus suddenly made a sound, and the sound went directly into Raas' mind. He felt that his head was going to split open.
Could it be that it was the owner of this land?
Raas covered his ears and knelt down in front of it. He shouted with a hoarse voice, "Please, save my friend. I really have no other way. Please be merciful."
"Oh? Then tell me, why should I help you? What good will it do me? "
The statue suddenly said. Hearing this, Raas' eyes widened.
What could he do?
He didn't know. He didn't know how an underage human could help an existence like the statue.
So, his answer was silence.
"Hmph, there's no such thing as a free lunch in the world. I advise you to pray to that so-called God, hmph."
These words made the youth feel suffocated and desperate. Was it over just like that?
Raas suddenly clenched his fists and shouted,
"Praying is useless. There are Gods in the world! If there are, then they are also a bunch of bastards! What war? What devil race? Why are Gods so powerful, but they don't stop this from happening? "
He was trembling, but it wasn't because he was afraid. He was angry. Thinking of his destroyed home, the dead people, and the cold human world, his resentment towards this world exploded.
"In my opinion, those Gods are just watching a show. They don't care about our life and death!"
"Well said!! Hahaha!! "
Suddenly, the statue began to laugh. Raas was stunned.
"Then do you know that the person you are looking for now is a devil?"
Hearing this, goosebumps appeared on Raas' body.
Devil, the synonym of destruction and despair.
How could Raas know that the person he was looking for was actually a devil?
He fell into deep fear and became confused.
"If you can cure Machi's illness, I don't care even if I fall into hell. To me, a world without Machi is no different from hell. So, I am willing to give my soul to you as long as you can cure Machi's illness. "
The youth calmly said these words. His calm tone surprised the Demon King.
“。”
A voice sounded, and Raas felt a gust of wind. When he came back to his senses, he found himself in an unfamiliar room. There was only one chair in the room, and a person was sitting on the chair. No, it was a demon.
He had terrifying horns on his head, and a faint smile appeared on his cold and handsome face.
Raas gulped. This devil who looked like a human, could he be a devil?
Suddenly, a strange flame ignited in front of Raas. A piece of parchment filled with ancient characters appeared in the flame. Raas couldn't understand a single one of the characters, but the characters gave him a mysterious and evil feeling.
He gulped and cold sweat appeared on his back.
"Sign this contract and your soul will belong to me."
The Demon King said.
"But, how can you guarantee that you can cure Machi's illness?"
Raas lowered his head and asked.
"Unfortunately, I don't need to make any guarantees to you."
"That! That's not fair! "
Raas protested.
The Demon King's lips curved into a cold smile, "Of course it's not fair. What is fair in this world? Guarantee? That would be based on the fact that you and I are on the same level. But right now, you are only begging me. "
Suddenly, the Demon King's eyes turned cold. He looked at Raas and said, "So, you can only choose to sign or not."
Hearing this, Raas' heart sank.
This was undoubtedly a gamble. He was using everything he had to bet his future.
No, he couldn't afford to lose!
Raas thought of something and recalled the events of the past few days. Stone's group of merchants who surrounded the carriage and made fun of him. The empty City of Trade, Abby who called himself the leader, and this job.
The transportation here was developed. Even if it was disguised, the City of Trade didn't lack coachmen. But, why did they want him, a foreign human, to be their coachman? And, why did they have to be so high-profile?
All these questions made Raas think of something. His eyes suddenly lit up as if he had caught some hope.
He raised his head and looked into the Demon King's eyes as if he was on the same level as the Demon King.
"I know. I want you to cure Machi's illness first before I sign this contract."
"Oh? You want to negotiate with me? "
The Demon King asked with some interest.
"Yes!"
Raas shouted. He gasped for air and looked like he wanted to risk it all.
"What right do you have to negotiate with me, kid?"
The youth's sharp eyebrows sank, revealing a fearless expression. That pair of determined eyes seemed to have a fire burning in them.
"Because you need me to go back alive. I know you want me to lure those merchants to your city, but they are too afraid to come. So, you need someone to prove that this place is safe before they dare to come. And that person is me. "
Raas said.
The Demon King nodded and looked at the youth with appreciation.
"That's it?"
"Yes! If I don't go back, they will definitely think that I am dead. Then, no one will dare to come here! "
The youth shouted loudly.
The Demon King laughed out loud: "Don't you know the saying 'humans die in pursuit of wealth and birds die in pursuit of food'? For those greedy merchants, as long as there is enough profit, they will take the risk."
Hearing this, the youth showed a bitter expression, but he was not willing to give up. It was not easy to get to this point. Was all his efforts going to be wasted?
"But I can make you lose less profit, can't I?"
Raas said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. He had changed from his previous begging appearance. He already knew that begging was not enough. He had to fight for whatever he wanted.
"Is that so? You can convince those merchants? I don't believe that a ten-year-old human child can do such a thing. "
The Demon King deliberately mocked.
"I can! It's up to you to believe it or not. "
The youth turned his head. At this moment, he did not look like he was here to beg, but to negotiate.
The Demon King looked at this young youth and smiled.
"Interesting youth. Alright, then I will be merciful this time and believe you."
With that, he stood up. At this moment, the world changed. The surrounding scenery was like a wet watercolor painting being washed by water. Everything changed in an instant.
When the youth came back to his senses, he found himself in a hospital ward.
There was a table lamp in the ward. A woman in a white coat was sitting by the bed, sleeping with her head lowered. On the bed was a sallow and emaciated young girl.
"Machi …"
The youth called out the young girl's name. He turned around and found a tall man behind him. He walked behind the doctor and patted her shoulder lightly.
At this moment, the sleepy Qinna woke up and turned around to see the Demon King.
"Master! Master? "
She immediately stood up.
"I promised this young man that I would help him save a person. That person should be her."
Raas hurriedly ran over. He lay by the bed and gently touched Machi's face.
It was still warm and she was still breathing. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"The situation is a bit serious. Her liver is failing. I don't think she will survive tonight."
Qinna said.
Hearing this, Raas turned around to look at the Demon King. "You will save her, right?"
The Demon King did not answer. He only looked at Qinna. Qinna continued, but her voice was even softer.
"We humans are helpless about her illness. Her body is born without a certain function. It's a congenital defect. This is the first time I've seen this kind of illness."
"I see. Leave it to me."
The Demon King nodded.
Qinna was stunned. She asked in surprise, "Do you know about her illness?"
Of course not. The Demon King could heal any wound, but he had too little research on human illnesses. He did not know any healing magic.
However, he had a way.
The Demon King took out a small bottle of blue liquid from his pocket.
Panacea. This was the name that the Demon King had given to this medicine. It was a medicine invented by a genius alchemist, one of the Demon King's disciples. It was claimed to be able to cure most illnesses.
The Demon King had made this bottle for a certain useless disciple. In order to prevent her from falling ill again, he had kept some just in case.
However.
She could no longer use it.
The Demon King gently walked to the side of the bed. His eyes were a bit lonely. Looking at the girl on the bed, he remembered the dying appearance of his disciple.
Humans were really fragile creatures.
He poured out the blue liquid, but he didn't pour it into the girl's mouth. The blue liquid scattered in the air and danced like a fairy. Suddenly, it turned into a drizzle and flew towards the girl's body, fusing into her body.
At this moment, the Demon King stretched out his hand and pressed it on the girl's stomach. A surge of life energy entered the girl's body.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept up. Something magical happened. The girl's hair grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her skin suddenly split open and shed a layer of skin.
"Cough cough!!"
Suddenly, Machi coughed violently and spat out a large amount of turbid blood.
"This!!"
Jenna had never seen this kind of magic before. Her eyes widened. There was no mistake. The Demon King had forcibly made the girl's body grow. This was a type of life magic, and it was completely different from plant magic. This was a type of life magic that directly affected animals.
For humans, this kind of magic was taboo because it would create all kinds of monsters that were ethically unacceptable.
However, the Demon King could use this kind of magic to cure illnesses. Moreover, what kind of medicine was that blue liquid? It could actually repair a person's body.
Jenna brought over an iron basin and filled it with the blood that Machi had spat out. Raas was worried. The amount of blood that was spat out was really shocking. It was like a fountain.
Soon, the basin that Jenna brought over was filled. She had no choice but to use everything that could fit.
She filled three basins with blood in total. The amount of blood that was spilled was even more than the girl's own body.
Could it be!
Jenna had a bold guess. She looked at the girl and suddenly found that her appearance had changed. Her body had grown a lot.
As expected! Her guess was right. He had actually made the girl change into a brand new body in such a short time …
