With the power of Leviathan, Ahes could move at high speed in the sea, so Ahes did not look for the smuggling ship at all, but swam directly back to the port of Helworth.
"I didn't feel tired at all. Leviathan's power is really powerful." Ahes said after climbing ashore from the port.
After landing on the shore, Ahes was wet all over his body. If he walked on the street like this, he would definitely be photographed and published in the newspaper by some people with ulterior motives, so Ahes took a detour and walked towards the woods where his home was located.
On the way, Ahes saw a newspaper posted on the trunk of a tree.
"What? The war between Helworth and Ypres is over? It's really a war without gunpowder." Ahs thought as he looked at the newspaper.
As expected, the outcome of the war came to an end with the victory of Helworth, and the terms proposed by the royal capital to Yipur were also those listed by Ahes. If nothing unexpected happened, Yipur would be the one from now on.
It's just a fifth-rate country, yes, it's worse than the third-rate Helworth, it's even worse than the second-rate country.
He soon returned home. After returning home, Ahes threw away the dead man's clothes he was wearing, took a shower and changed back into his own clothes.
"Do all contracts come from the God Lord and the Devil? If so, why was the Lord of Ashes attached to me when I was born, and only had part of his power?" Ahs thought as he leaned on the sofa and looked at the ceiling.
"Has the matter been resolved?" Claire's voice came from behind, and Ahes raised his head completely.
"Ah, Claire," Ahs said, "I thought you were out."
"I was in the underground library just now... Did you sign any new contract?"
"Thank you for feeling it." Ahes closed his eyes, but he didn't feel any special changes in his body. "Rather than a contract, it's better to say that a god or demon directly became my power and became my power."
Got my contract."
"..........Is it Leviathan?"
"You know what?"
"The only god of Bilcost is Leviathan. You can guess it with your thighs." Claire walked up to Ahs and said, "So, how did you do it?"
"It's just a leak. Because of some special things, Leviathan was seriously injured and was going to die soon. When he was dying, I was the only one who was relatively reliable, so he gave it his power.
I said that if there is a big disaster in Bilcost, I want to protect it." Ahs said as briefly as possible.
"Is that so? That's really a big deal." Claire said, "When you went to the auction last time, you told me that a guy named Joshua bought something called Trading with the Devil, right?
.”
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"That guy is now publicly using the Magic Bargain. One use requires one thousand kirgrams." Claire held out a finger and said.
"What, I mean, how could this guy be willing to pay a huge price to buy that thing, besides using it for himself?" Ahs said, patting his forehead.
"Can't you ask anything about that thing? Do you want to go take a look?" Claire asked.
"Of course, at least I have to ask how I came to this world and how I want to go back. Of course, whether I can go back or not is another matter." Ahs said and stood up.
Although he really wanted to take a rest, after all, the battle with the octopus monster in Bill Coster made Ahes feel very tired, but he couldn't wait to go home. Ahes must know what thing is constantly coming from his world.
Summon the time traveler.
He rushed to the door of Joshua's house without stopping. Unlike the children of other families, Joshua lived alone and lived in a building similar to Khrushchev House.
"I want to find Mr. Joshua. Which room is he in?" Ahes asked when he came to the front desk.
The waiter pointed impatiently upstairs.
"The last room in the corridor on the fourth floor." He said. It seemed that many people had come to see Joshua recently.
After knocking on the door, Joshua opened the door.
"Ah ha, Mr. Ahs, it's been a long time no see."
"That being said, it seems that the two of us have never met before." Ahs said as he glanced at the clock.
"Haha, where is it? Didn't we see each other at the last auction? It should be called a meeting." Joshua smiled and opened the door. As soon as Ahes entered the door, he saw the chair.
That is to say, Mo Mouyi was placed in the middle of the living room.
"Have you tried it yet?" Ahs asked, glancing at Joshua.
"Hmm, I sat on it and tried it, but I didn't make any transactions."
"Is there really a devil? What does a devil look like?"
"As for that, just try it yourself." Joshua smiled, "Many people have used this chair, but without exception, they did not make any transactions in the end."
"Then, isn't the money wasted in vain?"
"Haha, I believe they don't want to return empty-handed. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio of trading with Momoyi is very low. Some common questions even require paying a lifespan to answer." Joshua smiled and said, "So, you
You have to think carefully, Mr. Ahes, whether you are willing to pay one thousand kirks for such a very low cost-effective deal."
"Of course." Ahes handed Joshua a check for one thousand kirks while sitting on the barter with the devil.
In an instant, the scene in front of Ahes suddenly went dark, and all the surrounding objects disappeared, turning into endless darkness. When he lowered his head and looked, he saw a table in front of him, with a quill and a pen on the table.
parchment.
"Hello, Mr. Ahs Gardner." A voice suddenly came. Ahs raised his head and looked at a very tall man wearing a sheep skull mask standing on the other side of the table.
"Are you the devil?"
"You can call me anything." The devil replied, "Let's start our deal, Ahes Gardner, write your request on the parchment."
I didn't expect it to be quite straightforward.
Ahes looked at the parchment in front of him, hesitated, and picked up the quill.
"I want to know how to get back to my old world."
After writing this sentence, Ahes pushed the piece of paper to the devil.
After the demon looked at the piece of paper, he showed a weird smile. Even though he was wearing a sheep skull mask, Ahes could still feel that there was an ugly face under the mask.
"It's a pity that you absolutely cannot afford the price of this request." The devil put the parchment back on the table and said.
"Since you said that, it does prove that there is a way to go back, right?"
"Answering this question will cost you two years of your life."
Thinking that he had the Book of Eternal Life, Ahes agreed.
"Then, please press your fingerprint on the parchment." After the devil finished speaking, something similar to an ink pad appeared on the table. Charlotte dipped a little of it with her thumb and pressed her fingerprint on the parchment.
Handprints.
"Indeed, there is a way to return you to your original world." The devil replied.
"Then why did I suddenly come to this world?"
"There's no reason, just a random selection."
"Random selection, then, who picked me here?"
"I can't answer this question."
"...Before me, how many people traveled from other worlds to this world like me. Where are they now?"
"It will take five years of your life to answer this question."
"...You are really black-hearted, Lord Demon." If he didn't have the Book of Eternal Life, just these two problems would cost him several years of life. For others, it would probably only take a few transactions.
I'm going to be squeezed dry by this guy.
Thinking about it, Ahes pressed his fingerprint on the parchment again.
"Before you, a total of five people came to this world. Unfortunately, they all died." The devil held out five fingers and said, "The first person was born in Bilcost, and he only stayed for less than 10 years.
Within a week, he died at the bottom of the sea while fishing because he didn’t have any navigation knowledge.”
"The second person was born as Harry Farkel. He thought it was just a dream, so he committed suicide by jumping off a building and tried to wake up. Of course, he failed to wake up and actually died."
"The third person was born in Saxton, and he died in a contract with a banned book."
"The fourth person was born in Diton. In order to find a way back, he went to the Kakersla Desert to find the Book of Greed, and finally died in the trial."
"The fifth person was born in Ypres. He also lived for more than a year. He was still alive until last week."
"Then...how did he die?"
"Died in the war between Helworth and Ypres."
"..." Ahs said nothing.
"The last question is, besides me, there are several other contractors. Where are they?"
"Five-year lifespan."
Ahes directly pressed his fingerprint on the parchment.
