Chapter 09: Negotiations

Gently put the tea cups and cups on the tea table, Dora, in her armor, looked carefully at a lich, an angel, and a succubus who was negotiating.

The curtains had been pulled up, and in broad daylight, candles were lit in the room.

The coffee table is the only intact furniture in the whole room. Even the sofa they are sitting on is missing.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong!" The guards shouted outside the door: "Paladin! Paladin! What happened? Do you need our help?"

"It's okay, Lord Paladin is just...training!" Dora shouted at the top of her throat.

"Train? Training in the room?"

"Or why are you a Paladin?" another voice muttered, "You have to be different from others, right?"

"That's right. Just walk around, it's fine."

"I've disturbed you, Lord Paladin!"

The guards of the Lion Palace, who were talking outside the door, left.

Silence, and a long silence.

Jones held his breath in his armor, stood beside him obediently and sweated desperately. At this moment, he had never felt any pressure. After all, whether it was a lich, an angel, or a succubus in this room, he could strangle him with one hand. The key is that they would fight again at any time, and they had just fought one.

Gray turned his face and asked Catherine: "Don't we really take this opportunity to hold this demon down? This is a good opportunity to demonstrate chivalrous spirit and doctrine!"

"We can't do this, Gray." Catherine said helplessly: "There is an armistice agreement between heaven and hell, and I cannot take action. If she did not violate the contract, if I took action, it would be equivalent to breaking the contract."

Vivian sat obediently, staring at Gray with a look of harmless humans and animals, innocent and aggrieved.

Unfortunately, the succubus's charm technique is useless to the Lich. Or to be more precise, the Lich cannot understand this charm.

Gray said righteously: "Why do you want to make such a contract? Isn't it the task given to us by the Holy Spirit? We should fight the evil forces to the end, rather than make a contract with them!"

"Yes, but the premise is that it can be eliminated. We used to think so, and then we fought for tens of thousands of years." Catherine spread her hands and said, "Angelics need to rest, right? You have to allow us to... breathe a little bit."

"But it's been slowing down for a long time!" Gray yelled in confusion.

Vivian burst into laughter.

All of a sudden, all eyes looked at her.

Vivian quickly put away her smile and continued to pretend to be pitiful.

Catherine took a deep breath and continued: "There is an armistice agreement between the angels and the demons, and we cannot directly intervene in human affairs. Under normal circumstances, we cannot even directly harm any human beings. At the same time, there is also an agreement between us and the Lich Council. It is a tripartite agreement. We cannot attack the Lich before the Lich does something that harms us. So, even if she stays here, it will not harm you."

"But, should I take a demon to promote the spirit of the knight?"

After thinking about it, Vivian whispered: "You can try to think so. There is such a lost little succubus who grew up in the abyss since childhood and doesn't even know what good is. Now, she appears before you. This is an opportunity given to you by the Holy Spirit and also an opportunity for her. Maybe you can... influence her? Yes, there is a succubus who needs your influence, so it sounds easy to accept?"

"Forehead……"

“Does the Bible say that the Lich cannot become a Paladin?”

"No."

"Yes, so you became a paladin. Does the Bible say that demons cannot become saints?"

“No, either.”

"So, you know." Vivian looked at Gray with a stare and said, "What an inspiring thing it is to throw a lich into the light. It demonstrates the greatness of the Holy Spirit. And a demon into the light, even more so. Now, the opportunity is in front of you! Do you want to be the greatest Paladin in history?"

"It sounds like something makes sense." Gray hesitated.

Catherine didn't say anything, the black cat was attacked.

The black cat opened Gray's mask and jumped out of his armor, blew out and shouted: "You are sophistry! Gray is because he truly believes in the Holy Spirit, but you! He has another purpose!"

"Oh, ghost cat." Vivian smiled sweetly and said to the black cat, "I have to remind you that we demons have an agreement with angels and lichs. But we are not qualified to sign an agreement with ghosts... ghosts like us are not qualified to sign an agreement with us."

"Uh...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." The black cat quickly changed his words: "I was wrong, I just said it wrong. Gray, she made a lot of sense, really! I have been convinced! Lichs can become paladins, and the demons can certainly become holy believers! It is simply impeccable! A real paladin should be to influence the demons..."

The voice stopped abruptly because the black cat suddenly felt a chill from behind. Turning back, he found that Catherine was looking at him coldly.

"Black Cat, we angels and ghosts have no agreement, either." Catherine said softly with a smile.

In an instant, the black cat was shocked.

This is a proposition that is really a life-threatening one!

Its eyes kept going back and forth between Catherine and Vivian, and at the end, it could only shrink its tail aggrievedly, lower its head, return to Gray's armor in shame, turn off the mask, and shout in a crying voice: "I'm just a poor ghost, I'm sick in my mind! No matter what I say, you can pretend that I haven't said it, okay?"

Jones secretly swallowed and lowered his head.

This is what he fears the most. There is an angel and a demon standing next to him. No matter what you do, you will always offend one. The fatal thing is that both of them are powerful and can strangle you with one hand...

Gray looked at Catherine.

Helplessly, Catherine could only sigh and said, "My suggestion is to let her stay, we can't drive her away. The opponent is better than we have no idea where she is, right?"

"Then can I influence her?"

"Uh..." After being asked, Catherine's head suddenly got stuck, and she swallowed dryly and said, "Yes! If you can do it, I'm proud of you. Really. But I must remind you that no demon has ever been influenced."

"There has never been a Lich become a Paladin. Have you heard the connection here?" Vivian added in a low voice: "You are the first Lich to be influenced, and I might be the first succubus to be influenced. In this way, you will also become the greatest Paladin in history."

Gray thought for a while and said solemnly to Vivian: "I can accept you stay, but you must make sure that you will not do anything that hurts others anymore. Just like them. As vampires, they are only drinking pig blood now."

As he said that, Gray pointed at Jones and Dora on the side.

Jones took a step back in fear, calmed down, and nodded and shouted, "Yes! We only drink pig blood now! Hahaha! We only drink pig blood! Hahaha! Really, pig blood is delicious!"

As I smiled, tears came down. The sound was filled with sadness.

"Trade! I don't even drink pig blood!" Vivian stretched out his hand.

"Okay, deal!" Gray also stretched out his hand.

Through the coffee table, the two shook hands and then sat back to their original positions.

Gray continued, "Also, starting tonight, you will be with me for the sacred faith education of Catherine and go to church with me every week."

"Uh... were you kidding?" Vivian was stunned for a moment.

"No, I'm serious." Gray said solemnly: "I know that your purpose is not simple, it's still tempting me. This is a game, you want to tempt me to fall, and I want to influence you to sublimate. We compete fairly. But if you don't agree to receive sacred education every night and go to church for worship, then I will give up the idea of ​​influence you. I won't listen to anything you say."

"I'm a demon, you asked me to go to church for a service?" Vivian was amused.

However, Gray didn't find it funny.

"Do you still think I'm kidding?" Gray said seriously. "I'm a lich, there are two vampires and a ghost cat here, we're all going to worship."

Vivian's smile slowly disappeared, and her eyes slashed towards Jones and Dora.

"Yes, we... worship every week. We have to... pray before drinking pig blood every day!" Jones choked, as if he had given up on his own.

Vivian's expression froze.

The black cat quietly poked his head and added, "I have weekly services! I have also done bone horses!" After that, he shrank back quickly.

"Damn...what the hell are you?" Vivian blurted out, slowly straightened his waist, opened his eyes wide, leaning against the back of the chair with an incredible look on his face and looking at the unknown creatures in front of him: "The guardian angel of the Lich, the Lich Paladin, the vampire who drinks pig blood and prays, and the ghost of worship... Zeda said this at the beginning."

She took a long time to recover and could only ask for help from Catherine, who seemed relatively normal here: "Don't you... say something?"

"What do you think of me?" Gray asked.

After hesitating for a long time, Catherine could only say awkwardly: "I think this idea is... good!"

Suddenly, Grey became more confident.

Vivian was shocked.

The strange creatures in the room were looking at her expressionlessly. Of course, Jones was looking at her with tears in her eyes.

"How about it, do you want to join our warm big family?" Gray asked righteously.

"Give me a few seconds to think about it." Vivian stretched out a hand, lowered her head, closed her eyes and took deep breaths.

"You can think about it as long as you want. Anyway, as long as you agree, I will let you stay by my side. Then let us use the power of love to influence you."

Finally, Vivian took a deep breath, raised her head and gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I agree! In order to complete the task, the Demon Lord will definitely forgive me!"

"make a deal!"

Through the coffee table, the two shook hands again.
