The Hell Merchant in American Comics

Alec is a devil, and what the devil is best at is deceiving people.

His plan is actually quite simple.

Use 150 million US dollars to buy Logan's five-year lifespan, and then sell it to Gambit. As for the price, it's a friendly price of 500 million US dollars.As for whether Gambit King can afford this price, Alec doesn't care at all. There are many rich people in the world. There are many people who want to live for five more years. Gambling King doesn't buy it, and there are many people crying and begging to buy it.

Alec has no means of extracting life force, and only medium devils can master such spells.Fortunately, he has the identity of a hell merchant. As long as he makes a contract and pays a certain price, he can use the will of hell to complete the transaction.

He prepared many things for this purpose.

The fur and blood of lambs, the powder of gold and gems, the blood of the devil, and of course, the all-important soul coin.

The location of the contract was chosen in the Pai Royal Palace because it was quiet enough and used an old-fashioned stove for heating, making it easy to light a fire.After placing the things, Alec picked up the pen, filled it with sheep's blood, and began to write the deed.Logan and Gambit stepped forward to take a look and found that Alec was using an unfamiliar font. It was neither English nor Chinese, but somewhat similar to Latin.After writing a contract, except for the signature, Logan and Gambit didn't recognize a single word, but they were strangely able to understand the contents of the contract.

This is a popular text in the lower plane, a variant of ancient divine text, and the standard text for making contracts in hell.

After the deed is written, all that remains is to hold the ceremony.

Alec took the wood, dripped the devil's blood on each wood, and then set the wood on fire with soul-forged fire.The flame in the furnace was very weak, which was a sign of lack of strength. After all, he was just a low-level devil, and the power contained in his blood was very weak.

The soul coin is then thrown into the fire.

The blue flames surged, the temperature in the room dropped sharply, and a thin layer of frost actually appeared on the ground.

The soul-forging fire was burning brightly, but the will of hell did not come. Alec gritted his teeth and threw in the last soul coin he had. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief until the blue flame turned dark red.

A wisp of flame floated out, leaving a scarlet mark on the parchment.

The contract is completed.

Alec breathed a sigh of relief, took off the scroll, and said to Logan and Gambit: "The contract is completed."

Gambler eagerly took the scroll. He was nearly fifty years old and was already showing his age. The five-year life span was extremely tempting to him.Although 500 million is a huge amount of money, how can it be compared with life expectancy?

"Use blood as ink, sign your name, and the contract will come into effect."

Gambit transferred the money simply, then cut his finger and signed his name.Wolverine Logan was in pain. In order to obtain blood, he had to stab himself several times before collecting enough blood from his body.

The contract was reduced to ashes in the flames.

Logan's face quickly turned pale, and a large amount of life force was drained. Even with his physical condition, it was quite uncomfortable.In contrast, the expression on Gambit King's face can only be described as ecstatic. He felt extremely clearly that he was becoming younger, and something that had disappeared over time slowly returned to him. Unfortunately, this feeling did not last long. , after all, Alec promised a lifespan of only five years.

After a while, the flames extinguished and the ceremony ended.

Gambit King laughed wildly. After a long time, he found Alec and asked impatiently: "Alec, no, Mr. Gage, can you use this contract again?"

"Compared with this, maybe you should be more concerned about Logan. He has fainted."

Gambit was startled and quickly helped Logan to the room to rest, and then moved closer to Alec.

"Why, too little"

The Gambler blushed a little and said calmly: "Who would think that immortality is the ultimate dream of countless people, and I am no exception. To be honest, I envy Logan. Although his long life has made him experience a lot of pain, but He is still alive and I am over half a century old before I know it. Even as a mutant, I still have a few good days left. For some people, immortality is a curse, but for more people, immortality is a dream. Now, I’ve been talking too much. Is Logan okay?”

"It's not a big problem."

"For Logan, five years of life is not much. The main reason why he fainted is that he will be weak if he is not used to this period of time. It is estimated that he will be fine in a few days."

Alec looked normal, but he was actually talking nonsense.

There is a price for using the power of hell. Logan lost not five years of life, but a full 55 years.Except for the five years transferred to Gambit King, the remaining 50 years are sacrifices to the will of hell. Even so, Alec still feels the dissatisfaction of the will of hell, but he is now extremely poor and cannot afford more. price.

It seems that after some time, a sacrificial ceremony will have to be held.

Gambit King looked delighted: "Can I buy another five years, ten years of life?"

Alec smiled and said, "No."

"why"

"Because I have consumed a lot of energy, it is impossible to transfer my life force again in a short time."

Alec spent two soul coins for one life force transfer.

The Marvel world is not hell, and there are no souls of the dead falling from the sky. If Alec wants to collect soul coins, he has only one option: killing.What's more, soul coins are the devil's most precious wealth, and he himself also needs a lot of souls to increase his strength.The hell contract also involves the will of hell. Every time the will of hell is invoked, a large number of sacrifices are required. This is the Marvel world, not hell. Borrowing power across dimensions requires an even heavier price.This transaction is a good example. For Hell's Will, transferring five years of life force is as simple as blowing a breath, but the price Alec paid was beyond expectations.

Gambit King was slightly disappointed. He thought about it and asked, "Will you return it in the future?"

Alec curled his lips and did not answer.

After the deal was completed, the two rested at Card Royale for two days before hitting the road again.

At this time, Alec had 500 million US dollars in his pocket, so he would not treat himself badly. He bought a stylish Maserati supercar, changed into a high-end suit, paired it with sunglasses and a Patek Philippe watch, and looked very stylish. The rich young man took off his clothes.As for Logan, when he got 150 million US dollars, his first reaction was not how to spend it, but to buy himself a house.

From this point alone, we can see the difference in their personalities.

Alec is a standard hedonist, happy as he pleases, while Logan pursues a peaceful life, hoping to live a stable life.

The two spent four months eating, drinking and having fun, and finally arrived in Las Vegas.Alec has collected a lot of souls in these four months, thanks to his current wardrobe, luxury cars, rich young man, and only one bodyguard.Along the way, kidnappers who thought they had a keen eye approached the two of them like moths to a flame, and most of them ended up being killed and then having their souls extracted. Only a handful of kidnappers who didn't have human lives on their hands were lucky enough to escape from the devil's hands. .

After arriving in Las Vegas, Alec booked a hotel and found an excuse to avoid Logan and deal with the souls collected during this period.

The souls of more than 30 murderers brought thirty soul coins, which made Alec feel good.

As long as a low-level devil has enough resources, his strength will increase faster than imagined. At this rate, it may not take long for him to return to the level of a mid-level devil. According to his estimation, the strength of a mid-level devil is about the same as Spider-Man. , if the magic ability is taken into account, Iron Man is also in the category of medium devils. As for high-level devils, they are at the level of Thor and Green Fatty.

When he came to Las Vegas, Alec went to the casino as soon as possible.

He is not short of money now, but the value of the casino is not just money.

For Alec, the various people in high-end gambling games are worth far more than the chips on the gambling table.Because of Logan, he holds in his hands the life force that everyone dreams of.This gave him the qualification to talk to the top people in society. If he still focused on money at this time, it would be really stupid.
