Dream Travel

Chapter 464 Who doesn't care about saving face?
How much time do you need?

"The process takes less than an hour, but the journey takes at least two hours."

Seeing the white screen and feeling somewhat confused, Vibel explained the reason.

She wanted to be affiliated with a demon, but that demon certainly wouldn't come here in person.

While remote contact is possible, it cannot be conducted in Meilin City.

After all, that method involved a demonic ritual, and performing it in Coal Forest City would be against the rules.

She can do things that break the rules, but not in this area.

Therefore, to complete the affiliation, she needs to leave the city, which means that the city's defense agreement will no longer cover this area.

The demons who come into contact with her can act at will, but because of her identity, she cannot get too close to Meilin City during the process of affiliating with them.

The city defense agreement prevents people from leaving the city, but local demon hunter units can.

Vibel didn't want to cause any more trouble because of this.

"That means the whole process will take at least three hours... Let me first come into contact with the demon you mentioned."

“Okay.” Vibel immediately agreed.

"She's really in Meilin City?"

Bai Mu was somewhat surprised. The primordial demon had directly run into a city with a city defense agreement. How much did it look down on the locals?
“This is a border city.” Vibel shook her head with a hint of helplessness. Can a border city be the same as an inland city?

The primal demons have arrived, and by adhering to local rules and limiting their power, the defense agreements are no longer as effective.

The agreement is effective on the premise of 'defense', not complete interception.

Therefore, it is not difficult for a native demon to enter a city with a defense agreement.

All they care about is the defense agreement that has been activated.

"Isn't she afraid of being pinned down and killed here?"

"Are you sure that what's coming is the demon in its true form?"

"Reality doesn't have hell... Oh, now it does." Bai Mu clicked his tongue: "Let's meet first."

Under Vibel's arrangement, Bai Mu met with the demon who had her eye on her. However, after the meeting, the demon, whose features were concealed and who appeared no different from a human, seemed a little surprised.

Serafis said to the somewhat nervous Vibel, "You did a good job. Since you don't want to work for me, then let's forget about it."

Vibel's face stiffened.

Bai Mu saw her clenched fist, and Vibel's reaction reminded Bai Mu of Lily.

When Lily handed the letter to Bai Mu, her smile seemed somewhat unnatural.

Seraphis no longer needs Vibel, so what about Vibel's plan to attach herself to another demon?
Vibel could accept being affiliated with another demon, but was she really willing to do it?

If this demon no longer needs Vibel, then does Vibel still need to do that thing?
Judging from her reaction, she really does need it!
The demon threatening Vibel cares about his reputation, but the demon Vibel wants to attach herself to doesn't?

"You're looking for her because of me?" Bai Mu sat down opposite Serafis.

Even though this demon no longer possessed demonic characteristics, Bai Mu still had a deep impression of her. If it weren't for her interception, Bai Mu would have killed Lexenbra long ago.

“I want to cooperate with you,” Serafis stated his purpose.

Her initial reason for seeking out Vibel was simply to gain access to the White Curtain.

She has never operated within the Maple Crown Republic, and she won't easily go to the mainland.

After all, other demons have influence here, and if she enters casually, they will most likely use their local forces to deal with her.

Although humans have only been developing special powers for a short time, the many strange dreams allow the locals to always pull out something dangerous.

She couldn't easily get into the mainland, so Serafis turned to Vibel.

The reason she found Vibel was because Bai Mu passed through this city on her way back to Rota.

The border city of Serafis wasn't worried about any unexpected events, and since there happened to be a half-succubus human there, Serafis naturally set its sights on her.

Besides her identity, Vibel also had contact with the White Curtain.

Although Vibel is a half-succubus, she doesn't really want to get involved with other demons. It's not that she hates the existence of demons, but she just doesn't want to have too much interaction with real demons.

But how could Vibel's identity and lineage not have much overlap?
I've never encountered a demon that could lead to a connection with me before.

Vibel's identity also provided her with a layer of protection, though not a true protection, as most native demons would look down on half-demons who were a hybrid of humans and demons.

And those local demons who escaped from the demon factory are not without their own hierarchy of contempt.

Serafis has no prejudice against half-demon, and with Vibel doing well in Coalwood City, she can become her tentacles for contacting the Maple Crown Republic.

She was ready to win over Vibel.

Does it matter what Vibel's own wishes are?
Higher-ranking demons exert a strong suppressive force on lower-ranking demons, even though Vibel is not considered a lower-ranking demon in the conventional sense.

However, given the difference in strength, Vibel couldn't possibly resist her, and whether Vibel agreed or not was completely irrelevant.

Kovibel brought her a small surprise, bypassing many of the things Serafis wanted.

She wanted Vibel as an agent to better contact Bai Mu, but now that Bai Mu is here directly, Vibel is no longer needed.

"Cooperation? Are you kidding me?" Bai Mu felt that Serafis was overthinking things.

Every single one of those demons who surrounded him back then, Bai Mu wanted to kill.

Why do you think it's a joke? Why don't you hear my thoughts first?

Serafis didn't care about White Curtain's hostility; it was just hostility, something that could be changed at any time depending on the greater needs.

Even if things don't change, cooperation is still possible if both parties share the same goal.

Do they have any areas for cooperation?

Judging from the hostility shown by the white curtain, Serafis knew it was there.

“Wait, I’ll find an agent to help me negotiate.” Bai Mu’s words startled Serafis slightly, and she couldn’t help but look at Bai Mu for a while longer.

"you sure?"

“Yes, I’m sure.” Bai Mu knew his negotiation skills, so when Serafis really intended to discuss something, Bai Mu felt he should find someone more suitable.

As for how he faces this situation, it depends on the circumstances. If he can't find a suitable person, he can talk to them himself. If they meet his 'needs,' then they can continue the conversation.

If things don't go his way, he'll stick to his old ways and kill all the demons who are against him, since those demons had tried to kill him before anyway.

"Then I can wait."

"You can tell me your thoughts before you do that."

“That’s also possible, firstly regarding the blood pact with Luxenbra,” Serafis said, glancing at the weapon case in the white curtain.

Although Lexenbra did not appear, the two sides were too close, and the weakened demonic blood pact could generate enough sensation at this distance.

Lexenberg was right next to the white curtain, only in another form.

"Then go find the real body, don't look for me." Bai Mu interrupted Serafis, revealing a 'friendly' smile.

The Luxenbra in his hand was a 'baby' he had caught himself. Even if this fragment swallowed the original body, it was still something he had nurtured through his own abilities.

This Luxenbra cannot be considered the original Luxenbra. The debt owed by the original Luxenbra has been collected by debt collectors who have come to him.
And it's a demon? That's because you ate too many red beans.

“I know, but the demon blood pact is still in effect. Since I took his things, I will naturally abide by the contents of the blood pact and help him fight for a part of the Hellish Realm.”

"You're quite a man of your word."

Serafis's lips curled slightly: "Only the part about abiding by the contract. This demon blood pact has an execution time. Exceeding the execution time will have a great impact on 'Lexenbra'. I want to fulfill this contract."

Lexenberg was not optimistic about his own future, so some parts of the blood pact were very harsh, but this harshness was only for Lexenberg himself.

But this harshness is a huge benefit for Serafis, provided that she can go and collect the debt.

If Lexenberg hadn't died, he could have fulfilled the agreement and wouldn't have given Serafis the opportunity to collect his debts, but he died.

If Serafis wants to get his share of the profits, he'll have to go and collect the debt from another Lexenbra.

However, in the process of collecting debts, they will inevitably have to confront Bai Mu.

The demon's plan was good, but Serafis was prepared to abide by the contract as usual, as for helping Lexenbra fight for Hell...

The contract part is for the original body. If the original body dies, this step is not so important. So why didn't she help 'Lexenbra' fight for the Hellish Realm?
She wouldn't suffer any loss in this matter. Before, Lexenbra relied on her, but now she could try to find a White Curtain to cooperate through another Lexenbra.

As for Bai Mu's strength, he already proved it when he killed Lexenberg on Eshra's side.

"You want to fulfill this contract? You want the hellish realm, don't you?"

“I can have it all. If this is difficult for you, you can give up Luxembra. The demon blood pact is a more binding contract than a normal contract. Even if he is not the original body, he cannot escape it.”

The harsh demon blood pact ensures that Serafis will never suffer a loss.

At this distance, she could even use the Demon Blood Pact to forcibly pull Luxenbra out.

However, it is still within the normal time frame of the contract, and Luxenbra has not yet 'breached the contract,' so the power of the demon blood pact has not reached its peak.

"Then I can kill you first." Bai Mu wanted to test the few holy silver bullets he had been holding back for a long time on the demon in front of him.

"Let's put aside the matter of Lexenberg for now and talk about the cooperation we can discuss."

Luxembla is a thing of the past. She knows Bai Mu's attitude, so there's more to discuss next.

She wants to eliminate the extra competitors in the Otherworld Hell.

There is a great opportunity right now.

Many alien demons in the Otherworld Hell are experiencing problems. The native demons, who had not yet established a foothold in the Otherworld Hell, have been significantly impacted by this incident.

She is also a demon affected by this, but at this stage, it means that the game, which has only just begun, can be reshuffled.

The game between demons is brutal; with each new shuffle, even more demons are kicked out.

New demons eyeing the game won't be able to join easily. Serafis has no intention of cooperating with other demons; she wants to find one more capable of dealing with them.
