Chapter 500 Insurance(1/4)
Can't move!
Can't think!
It’s as if everything around you has come to an incredible standstill!
Bernard finally understood why the guard at the door did not stop the intruder, but instead stood there like a sculpture.
It’s not that they don’t want to, it’s that they really can’t move at all.
Especially the air in the surrounding environment seemed to suddenly become extremely heavy and dense, just like water with gel added.
It is obvious that the brain has given orders to the legs and feet, but it is firmly restrained by the huge invisible resistance.
The only good thing is that the breathing that sustains life is still normal, otherwise a person would suffocate to death within a few minutes.
Just when Bernard gradually lost his awareness of everything around him, a more powerful force fell from the sky in an instant. The invisible resistance that originally enveloped his body was dissipated, causing him to kneel on the ground with a plop, gasping for air.
The expensive dress was soaked with sweat in less than ten seconds.
Fear!
Intense fear that cannot be described in words!
For the first time, he intuitively realized what gods and demons meant to mortals.
Although Bernard did not know the identity of the Hell Princess, he also understood that the other party was not targeting anyone from beginning to end, and only released a little bit of insignificant energy and power to suppress the guards who might prevent her from entering the room.<
/p>
"You go out to the banquet first. I have something more personal to say with this lady. Remember, you didn't see anything just now and you didn't hear anything."
Zuo Si issued a straightforward order to expel the merchant.
After all, no matter how despised Gracia is by the lords of other levels of hell, she is still a great devil in one form, and she is also the only descendant of Asmodeus.
You must know that many mortals who go to the sixth level and are charmed and controlled by it, or simply want to prolong their lives and have to have a relationship with them, will often have their life force drained out of them within a few seconds and become a human being.
A withered corpse.
Therefore, even if she comes in the form of possession, it is enough to cause unimaginable mental and physical impact on mortals.
Not to mention that Bernard has no professional level at all, and his physical and soul strength is only slightly stronger than ordinary people at best.
If you are exposed to the gaze of the Hell Princess for a long time, you will either involuntarily become a devoted slave to her, or you will gradually transform into a half-man and half-devil in purgatory.
"Understood! Thank you for your protection."
Bernard didn't even dare to wipe the sweat from his face. After giving Zuo Si a grateful look, he turned around and rushed out into the corridor without saying a word. The fat all over his body was shaking uncontrollably.
p>
After the businessman had completely gone away, the door was quickly closed again with a bang by the guard who was controlled by the charm.
Zuo Si very calmly poured a drink for this uninvited guest, then stared at the other person's charming and tempting eyes, and probed with interest: "Excuse me, the noble Queen of Desire, are you coming all the way?"
Why did you come to the material plane from Baator Hell to find me? Could it be just for that piece of authorization letter?"
Gracia raised a finger, gently placed it in front of her small nose and shook it: "No, no, no, dear Soth, that is not just a letter of authorization.
Instead, my father placed a huge threat over my head out of thin air that could usurp power at any time.
Think about it, if it were you or any other lord, would you accept such a result?
The answer is obviously no.
For the devil, nothing is more hateful and disgusting than a superior suddenly parachuted in.
So I have every reason to talk to you privately about this matter.
What's more, this is just one of the many reasons why I come to you.
In addition, I am also particularly interested in the little tricks you do on the fourth level.
Especially the pleasure demon named Gramir, what is her relationship with Fierna?
Why did the originally calm situation suddenly become tense as soon as this guy arrived at the fourth level?
Even Bilaire, who has always been cunning and cunning, is starting to lose his temper because of this?"
"Hahahaha!
I have to say that your simplicity makes me feel very uncomfortable.
It would be great if all the great devils in hell could be like you.
That way I don’t have to put a lot of thought into making various gestures to give hints, so that all the lords and their staff can clearly understand what I want to express.”
Zuo Si couldn't help laughing.
Now he finally understood why Asmodeus wanted to leave his daughter to teach him for a while.
Compared with the other hell lords who have been struggling in conspiracies for hundreds, even thousands, or tens of thousands of years, Gracia is really a bit silly and cute.
In particular, this lack of patience, which may be inherited from the nature of the demon, always likes to solve problems in simple and crude ways, which leads to the fact that almost all of Gracia's plans are not well kept confidential.
It's obviously a conspiracy that needs to be hidden the most, but it won't be long before everyone knows about it.
For example, her actions against several other level lords were actually known to them, and they even knew exactly who the spies placed in her palace were.
The reason why they all chose to remain silent and not take action was because the person they were afraid of was not the reckless rookie in this hellish political power circle, but the Asmodeus who was in charge of everything behind her.
But this kind of silence and tolerance cannot last forever.
If Gracia cannot learn to be a qualified player before the opponent breaks out, then she will be kicked out without mercy.
Either he will follow in his mother's footsteps and become a miserable political victim, or he will be severely punished and lose his position as lord.
Anyway, in hell, fools and weaklings are not worthy of climbing to high positions to gain power and status.
Their failures will only become negative examples in textbooks, serving as a reminder to other devils.

"What do you mean? Are you laughing at me?"
Gracia frowned subconsciously, and her face became obviously ugly.
There is no doubt that this is her second immature flaw.
That is to express one's emotions, anger, sorrows and joys, and seriously lack the forbearance and insidiousness of hiding a knife in a smile.
This aspect was most vividly demonstrated when he was the lover of the third-tier lord, Viscount Maman.
Whether it is openly resisting Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell, or criticizing the existing system and power system.
To be honest, if Gracia did not have the identity of the Princess of Hell, she would have died countless times if she had been replaced by another devil.
Looking at the long history of Baator Hell, no one who disobeyed Asmodeus could survive the aftermath.
Basically, they were either quickly dealt with, or they appeared inexplicably on the list of the dead in the bloody battle.
As the ultimate lawful evil plane, you want to carry out a bottom-up coup in hell?
Stop making trouble!
This type of behavior itself is a challenge to the existing order, and will also trigger rejection of the entire hell plane.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult for a low-level devil to usurp his boss's position.
If you want to succeed, without exception, you need the support or acquiescence of a higher-level devil.
This is like the feud between Bayer and Zariel, which seems to be two devil princes competing for the position of the first-level lord.
But in fact, Asmodeus, the big boss behind the scenes, is just selecting the most suitable leadership talents to take charge according to the needs of the situation.
Zuo Si is undoubtedly one of the very few people who has truly seen through the rules of hell's operation. He responded with a smile: "No, this is not a ridicule, but a compliment.
Because there is a kind of sincerity in you that other devils seriously lack.
This is a very precious and rare quality.
If possible, I hope you can keep it up well.
Compared with those lords who always like to twist and turn, I like you better now.
As for the relationship between Gramir and Ms. Fierna, didn’t you find out about it from the latter’s mouth?
If I remember correctly, you and Ms. Fierna should be very close allies, right?"
