"Fresh human!" said the octopus head behind him. It was Sunas' voice. "Ah! No, I'm still a dragon man, I'm really disrespectful. But it really makes me salivate."
Streams of cold and slippery mucus were secreted from the tentacles, and Major knew that he was telling the truth.
"If you kill me, you can't get out!" Major shouted.
"He was right," said Jekas. "Put the tentacles away, Sunas."
"What a pity!" Sunas reluctantly slid the tentacles away from Major's head. "The dragon man always makes me feel very full of appetite."
"Yes, I'm so sorry you didn't meet me somewhere else." Major teased with fearlessness.
Jekas laughed and turned his head to Manoras and said, "I didn't expect that humans are so interesting. We should go to the surface more often."
"You won't find it interesting when you're made into specimens," said Manoras.
"Do you have to be so boring?" Jekas said helplessly.
"When you get older, you will be as boring as me." Manoras didn't think boring at all was a disadvantage, and continued to say to Major: "Tell me, what do you have to ask for."
Major smiled. "If I wanted to make friends with a few people, would you not believe it?"
Jekas laughed, four tentacles swelling. "Humans? Want to be friends with the heart-fighting demon? The world's strange stories."
"That's so strange that you're rare. Jekas." Manoras continued to have a expressionless face. "In 912, I just got an adult. When I was on an adventure, I met a human psychic warlock who claimed to be very evil in the city of Grey Dwarfs, who wanted to be friends with us. Humans are a crazy race. Jekas."
"What happened later? Did you become friends with him?" Sunas asked curiously.
"I ate his brain." Manoras sighed. "This incident taught me a lesson. The crazy man is not very intelligent. His brain tastes like chewing wax."
"You made my appetite diminished," Sunas complained.
"You have never been picky about food," said Jekas. "The brain of the goblins is full of food."
"Stop!" Major saw the three octopus heads who called themselves the heart-fighting demons and started chatting again, deviating from the topic, and quickly stopped them. "Aren't we discussing friendship?"
Manoras sighed again. "There is no friendship in the dictionary of the Mind Fighter." He said. "Only the exchange of interests. To be honest, humans, what do you want from us? Equipment? Skills? Or gems and gold?"
"None are." Major shook his head. "Can I get the respect I deserve before I answer your questions? After all, I have no threat in front of you."
This is the truth. Judging from their easy handling of the evil spirit banshee, their strength is at least at the third level of Yuanli mastery. It is even possible that they can even reach the manifestation of Yuanli. They want to kill Major, which is similar to killing an ant.
Manoras nodded. Sunas let him go, but still stood behind him.
"Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Major George. Since I can't get your friendship, let's make an equivalent exchange."
"Continue." Manoras said.
"I'll take you out. You help me wipe out all the undead creatures here."
Jekas laughed. "You're so funny. This is not an equivalent exchange at all. A human life is not worth so much. Even a dragon."
"Of course. But three heart-fighting demons are worth it." Major said.
Jekas stopped his smile and stared at him with his bubble eyes. "Be careful of your tongue. Major George."
"Let him continue," said Manoras. "He is telling the truth. Our lives are in his hands. These days have proven that we are completely lost."
"It's still the old comrade who has knowledge." Major praised. "How is this deal, is this deal established?"
The three inner-fighting demons said at the same time in a tacit understanding: "It's established."
"But there is one problem," Major said, scratching his head again. "If we finish the deal, you tore up the agreement and make me a can of brain. What should I do? After all, I have no power to resist in front of you."
"We can make a vow!" Sunas said. "Once the vow of the inner slayer is established, we will not regret it. We are obviously the most honest and trustworthy race."
"How to legislation?"
"In the name of the demon-slayer, Ilson, the god of the demon-slayer, swore in the name of thought. Those who violate the covenant will be punished by God and despised by all demon-slayers." Sunas said solemnly.
There is also a god of the heart-slayer? This is the first time that Major has heard of something like a god when he comes to this world. He thought this was a rational world that regards Yuanli as science. But I think this god only exists in legends, like God. However, since the heart-slayers are so serious, I think this vow is worthy of trust.
On the other hand, although the inner flayers look very smart, they are still very reasonable. They are also Major's only hope. There is nothing foolproof, so they can only bet on a treasure.
"Okay, I will make this vow with you. But I will raise the conditions and you can veto it. But I also have the right to counter veto. What do you think?"
"Oppose!" Sunas said. "The oath is equal to both parties. Your conditions are too harsh."
"What do you think you should do?"
"It's better to do this," said Manoras. "Both sides can propose three conditions and have a veto."
"You can only have one voice. Of course you can discuss it yourself, but once you propose it, you must absolutely obey it."
"agree!"
"Okay, my first condition: from now on, no matter what happens in the future, unless we actively attack and hurt you, you cannot use any means to imprison, hurt, kill me, and my companions."
"Agree!" Manoras agreed. It seemed that he was the leader of the squad. "Our first condition: if you can't take us out of the mine, we have the right to do anything to you and your companions."
"Agree. My second condition: You will help me eliminate the undead creatures in the entire mine and in all the places connected to the mine. Of course, those who exceed your strength will not be included."
"Agree. Our second condition. All the spoils belong to us."
"Veed!" These guys are so cunning that they want to take away the loot. "You have three choices for all loot."
Manoras smiled. "Agree."
"Okay, my third condition: you will explain to me the purpose of coming here."
"Feed. We will only provide the necessary information. This information is enough to make you understand the main purpose of our mission."
"agree."
"Our third condition: in battle, you must obey our command. What I say is to obey completely and not to take your own initiative."
This can be agreed, after all, Major is too poor. In this level of battle, he is basically a so-called "sorry". Perhaps the octopus heads were afraid that they would not be able to do anything, so they made this request.
