"Not, of itself, sufficient for our inner circle. But I doubt, given Asmodeus's instructions, that He expected you to find your place in Hell and become His most treasured possession with only a moment's thought and a word of advice. My duty to Asmodeus also bids me warn you, pride is the domain of Asmodeus which I hold the least expertise. If a fourth-circle cleric had questions I could not answer there, while about Asmodeus's business, they might need to wait upon a visit from a higher-circle cleric to answer in my place."
That Ferrer is so quick to think of his duty to Asmodeus there may reflect his own lack of pride, though how that is a failure to enforce his own place within the tyranny or its laws is lost on him. It doesn't seem exactly the thing that a devil in his position would do, though the devils wouldn't ignore their duty to Asmodeus either. They would disclaim their own lack of expertise with more grandeur, somehow; and Ferrer Maillol is aware that in reality most of his grandeur comes from his vestments and his ability to kill people who annoy him.
