Chapter 231 The Cage of Hate
Under Travink, the ruins of the Temple of Travink are located. After thousands of years, the above-ground part has long been destroyed in the original demon invasion. Now only the underground dungeon remains.
And this is where Mephisto was imprisoned. Therefore, after Travink was destroyed by the demons, it was called the Prison of Hate. It means the cage where the King of Hate is imprisoned.
Because of the tacit consent of the three former members of the parliament, Lan Wu successfully entered the Prison of Hate. But this is not without price. The three asked for Mephisto's Soul Stone.
Lan Wu is not unaware of the little calculations of the three. The Soul Stone is the treasure that the Archangel Tyrael brought out from heaven. Mephisto was once sealed in it. Then Diablo broke through the seal and transformed into a dark wanderer to rescue it from the Soul Stone. This Soul Stone became the container for it to control the souls of its subordinates.
Gilleb and the other three wanted to get the Soul Stone, most likely to take back their souls, betray the demon god, and accept Mephisto's subordinates. This is a force that cannot be ignored.
"Such a small price..." Lan Wu checked the full space bag and curled his lips in disdain.
These potions and equipment are relics left by professionals who came to challenge Mephisto in the past. Needless to say, most of the former owners of these things have unfortunately died, and these have become the collections of Gilleb and the other three. If you don't take advantage of them, it will be a wrath of heaven and people.
So he took the opportunity to make a lot of money. Not only did he make up for all the previous consumption, but he also got about a hundred pieces of equipment of different qualities. At the same time, Gilleb and the other three personally delivered them to this hateful prison.
Lan Wu did not intend to fulfill his promise. The transaction was half completed, and they would pay the same amount of compensation after getting the Soul Stone. But until entering the underground palace, they did not have any means of restraint. Although it was a bit strange, he didn't take it to heart.
These three are gatekeepers. Except for the small area at the entrance, they can't go anywhere unless Mephisto orders them personally. For example, not long ago, he led the army of undead skinners to besiege the Mavina tribe.
Walking along the corridor, Lan Wu's uneasiness became stronger and stronger. Along the way, not a single demon jumped out to stop him, as if the demons in the cage disappeared without a trace. This is just an empty prison.
Lan Wu dared to swear that this is not the nature of demons. They are cunning and bloodthirsty, and will never let a human go. Even if he reached a deal with Gilleb and the others, he was still secretly on guard. This is Mephisto's territory after all. Unlike the previous two times, Mephisto can move freely in the cage without using clones.
But the facts before him made him feel terrified.
If Mephisto was not dozing off, the demons below took the opportunity to be lazy. It was Gilleb and the others who had secretly connected with other demon lords and worked together to dig a hole for Mephisto.
After walking a distance again, Lan Wu stopped. The situation was too weird. This cage that had swallowed countless professionals was dead silent, with no signs of living things. He looked around and found an open door. Under the faint light emitted by the equipment that increased the lighting range, he could vaguely see the scene inside.
This is an execution room. The bloodstained scaffold in the middle of the room, it is conceivable that the prisoners who committed serious crimes were cruelly punished here. The rusty torture instruments placed around still exuded a faint stench.
Frowning, Lan Wu set off again. This time he did not hesitate at all, directly opened the ice-breaking armor, and strode forward. He wanted to make a try and bet whether these demons really wanted to send him to Mephisto.
After an unknown amount of time in the dark, Lan Wu's heart sank. He saw the entrance to the second floor of the prison. Until here, there was still no trace of the demons... These demons were really determined to betray Mephisto.
Lan Wu entered the second floor of the prison and couldn't help laughing. This Mephisto is really a failure as a demon god. Even the three most trusted gatekeepers want to betray him wholeheartedly. Mephisto is so unsuccessful as a boss, he is probably the first demon god in history.
Confirming the devil's little calculation, Lan Wu's speed is even faster. Almost half the time faster than before, he saw the entrance to the third floor of the prison. Standing in front of the entrance, he simply checked the potions and equipment. He remembered that the third floor of the prison was where Mephisto was. Before that, there were three small bosses guarding the passage leading to Mephisto's location.
One of them, Wayne, the Finger of Emptiness, was at the entrance of the third floor.
This small boss was also a former member of the parliament, and his status was equivalent to that of Gilbert and the other three. His duty was to guard the entrance to the third floor for Mephisto to prevent human professionals from disturbing the rest of the demon god.
Everything was ready, and Lan Wu walked up the stairs. When he reached the third floor, he couldn't help but be stunned. It was still dead silent here. Wayne, the Finger of Emptiness, was not there. He couldn't help but secretly smack his lips. This is the rhythm of being deserted by everyone.
Then what about Spark Fist Brim? What about Dragon Hand Mav?
Lan Wu quickened his pace while thinking. Not long after, a simple and restrained door appeared in front of him. Needless to say, behind the door was the place where Mephisto was sealed in the past, and now it has become the center of the Demon God's bedroom.
Walking to the gate, Lan Wu tried to push it. Unexpectedly, the gate looked tall and thick, but in fact, it was light to the touch. With just this push, the gate creaked open.
As soon as the gate opened, Lan Wu immediately became alert, ready to teleport away immediately if anything went wrong. After waiting for a while, the gate was quiet. The eternal lamp on the metal lamppost burned quietly, illuminating the surroundings. After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no movement, he walked in with confidence.
Sure enough, not only was Spark Fist Brim not there, but Dragon Hand Mav was also not there. It seems that not only Gilbert and the other three betrayed Mephisto, but even the three former members of the parliament inside were unwilling to be lonely and chose to betray.
If you think about it carefully, Mephisto is one of the three demons, and his strength is extremely powerful. But as its subordinates, they are not happy. Especially these six former members of the parliament. When they betrayed humans and joined Mephisto, they pursued strength and power. In the end, they got what they wanted and became Mephisto's confidants. But they never expected that becoming Mephisto's confidant would be so tragic.
The accumulated magic of the Trawinkel Temple made Mephisto unable to escape from the prison of hatred. As his confidant, he naturally had to take on the work of guarding. But he couldn't leave the prison, and the six former members of the parliament were at a loss.
They had strength. But what about power? Wayne and the other three were okay. Although the prison was not big, there were many guards. But Gileb could only guard the entrance with three or five cats and dogs, which was even worse than Bishuboshu in the Rogue Camp.
Lan Wu sighed and walked into the corridor, feeling that women were afraid of marrying the wrong man and men were afraid of entering the wrong profession. If you rely on an unlucky boss, you will naturally be unlucky.
Just after walking out of the corridor, a voice suddenly echoed in the darkness.
"These bastards really betrayed me."
