Vol 2 Chapter 67: greedy
"Uh?" Borak looked at the parchment in his hand and couldn't restrain a question. This magic ritual was too inexplicable, too simple, and too funny, it was like a game played by children!
This can also summon the most powerful devil?
As one of the oldest families in the Holy Hertz Empire, the Gorse family has collected a lot of magic information, so that when members go out for adventures and cruise the mainland, they will not be at a loss when facing magic, and it is said that their family is an ancient Hill The blood descendants of the "Sun King" Thanos, the Vanessa magic empire!
Therefore, even though Borak does not know magic and does not understand meditation, he still has a basic understanding of magic rituals. He has never seen such an inexplicable ritual process, but in the simple and funny, it seems that he can feel the faint intelligibility. Strange, it seems that there is really a mystery that cannot be trusted.
After being silent for more than ten minutes, Bolak said to himself, as if cheering himself up: "Anyway, I'm ready to make a contract. It doesn't matter if you try this ceremony. If it doesn't work, you should be teased and there is no loss. If it can be summoned, then ... "
His fist was clenched tightly again, his expression was twisted, and his eyes revealed obvious longing, expectation and tyranny.
He raised his head and saw that the mechanical clock was already pointing at 11.30. Borak quickly got up and looked for the white candle, mirror, apple and knife.
The more eager I was, the more troublesome it seemed. After ten minutes, Borak found a mirror and a knife. The white candle and the apple did not know where to "hide".
At this time, Borak regretted that he had dismissed all his servants and gave them a day off. How could he, a noble master, usually find things by himself!
I thought that I was about to miss midnight, Borak fan had a slap in his mind. He couldn't wait to wait until midnight tomorrow.
Borak was so sweaty that he found white candles and apples in the kitchen.
There was never a moment when Borak was so fond of these two ordinary things as he is now, and sincerely rejoiced.
Returned to the study in a hurry, and Borak blew out the other candles, leaving only one candlestick in his hand for a short time, then closed the curtains, and set the mirror, candles, apples, and a knife.
I looked back at the time and saw that it was only two minutes before midnight. Borak quickly broke up his half-length blond hair, like a wicked witch in the bard story.
Doing all of this, Borak sat quietly behind the desk, waiting for time to come. Suddenly he remembered something, and suddenly anxious: "Will the mechanical clock be inaccurate? Did you miss midnight?"
老 This old stupid big clock is often slow for a few minutes, so I have to ask the watchmaker to come and adjust it, but now there is no standard time to compare!
After taking out the pocket watch and confirming that there is no difference in time, Borak began to doubt the accuracy of his pocket watch, although he knew that midnight at 12 o'clock refers to the time between 12 o'clock and 1 a.m., instead of narrowly twelve o'clock, But I couldn't help worrying about it, worrying about it, and suffering.
越大 The greater the hope, the stronger the tension will naturally be!
The ticking of the ticking hands was very obvious on a quiet night, and seemed to resonate with Borak's heartbeat, making him feel that his heart was about to jump out of his chest, blood was flowing madly, and his forehead was bulging.
Suddenly, a low chime sounded at twelve o'clock at midnight, and Borak's subconsciousness stretched, and he quickly blew out the candlestick. Then he almost smashed the white candle and lit the candle.
The dim yellow light was dim and dazzling under the reflection of the mirror, and it seemed as if countless demons were hiding in the shadows without stopping.
With the darkness at night and the room closed, the atmosphere immediately became weird and horrible. Borak shuddered slightly, and some believed that this magic ritual was not a prank.
Swallowing two saliva, Borak picked up the cyan apple and knife with his slightly trembling hands and started peeling.
Although I have never peeled fruit peels myself, Borak still has the strength of a high-level knight attendant, and his control of his hands is not bad. Even if he is very clumsy, he almost cut off a few times, and he survived it without any risk.
After Borak gradually cut smoothly, he looked up and looked into the mirror, and saw that his face was covered with messy hair, and the dim candlelight reflected the sense of light and darkness, and the light flowed between It seems weird.
I never saw myself in this way. Borak couldn't bear the cold in his heart, and he had a strange feeling in the mirror, as if his soul had fallen into hell!
With a light stroke in his hand, Borak looked down, only to see that the apple had been completely shaved, and a circle of thin skin curled onto the desk and twisted.
"Success?" Borak quickly looked up to see if the devil had been summoned, but in the mirror there was only himself who was both expectant and sloppy!
A strong disappointment surged, and Borak whispered, "Did you do something wrong?"
Suddenly, a weird breeze blew from the closed room, making the dim yellow light of the white candle tremble, and Borak looked reflexively at the mirror, and he saw his blond and blue eyes straight up, There was no difference just now.
Just about to drop her head in frustration, the corner of Borak's mouth in the mirror suddenly evoked a weird smile, and then tore her face, peeling off the entire face, exposing the vague flesh and blood.
"Ah!" In the face of such a weird and such thrilling scene, Borak screamed in horror, and wanted to step back, but found himself sitting on a chair, and could only cling to his back tightly.
The fuzzy flesh began to twist and squirm, turning into a "devil" with a white face and a bright red tongue, with a long tongue:
遵循 "Follow your call, from the deepest part of hell, please speak your request."
The cold, rigid voice made Borak tremble a few times again, but also woke up because of this, he really summoned the devil! This inexplicable magic ritual really works!
"I want to be a knight, no, I want to be a big knight, I want to be the Duke of Gorse!" Borak roared excitedly, at this moment, in his eyes, the ugly and horrible "devil" opposite him was That's kind and respectable!
"The law of the devil, if you want to get anything, you must pay the same price. Are you ready to pay the price?" The long tongue fell on the chest and swayed, "The devil" said with a cold smile .
Borak was about to blurt out, and he was ready, and suddenly he flashed, and forcibly stopped: "Requesting different things will cost differently, right?"
当然 "Of course, I'm greedy, one of the first and oldest seven devil in hell, and you need to pay me for your greed." Says the devil who calls himself greedy.
Although he has never seen a devil like this, after hearing the first and oldest seven devil, Borak remembered that he had seen a volume of legends about the Sun King Thanos in the family secret library. Inside, On the side, he mentioned seven extremely mysterious ancient devil such as greed and hatred.
Thinking of this, Borak believed in the magic contract thoroughly: "Dear greedy lord, what do I want to pay for becoming the Duke of Gorse? What does it cost to become a big knight? Just to become an ordinary knight, but keep the advanced What is the cost of the great knight? "
The deal between the uncle and the devil must not be deceived. Borak remembered the note of "father", "You must not sell your soul to the devil, and you must not rely on it."
The "greedy" devil smiled slightly: "Becoming the Duke of Gorse, you need to give me the soul after death, rest assured that you will live forever in my field and enjoy endless happiness; becoming a great knight, I will get you deducted The remaining life after the first fifty years, whether you can become a sky knight or a golden knight, you can only live to be fifty years old; if you only become an ordinary knight, but retain the possibility of an advanced knight, I need you to take ten Years of life to exchange. "
Borak took a breath, hesitated very much, betrayed his soul, and forever fell into the **** of the greedy devil. It was too scary. He did n’t want to choose it, especially the "father" repeatedly told not to be deceived by the devil, but only If you can live to be fifty years old, what is the point of becoming a big knight and competing against the Duke of Gorse?
However, the greedy devil seems to be different from other devil, there is no trick at all, conceal the terms, and make the cost and consequences clear.
After struggling for a long time, Borak whispered, "Her greedy, after this choice, if I fail to achieve my goal, can I summon you again and choose again?" He was afraid he made the wrong choice.
"No problem, but the price that has been paid cannot be recovered, which is equivalent to a new transaction." The greedy devil dispelled Borak's doubts.
Borak took a deep breath: "I chose to become an ordinary knight, but retain the possibility of an advanced knight."
"As you wish, but this requires a slight change in your destiny trajectory, so you must tell me completely what happened and encountered in your life, the more detailed and comprehensive it is, the more advanced the knight you retain may be The bigger it is. "The greedy devil gentleman saluted.
Borak can't wait to become a knight, and has no doubts about the requirements of the greedy devil. After all, changing the destiny may require this information. From the astrological knowledge he knows, the more he knows the fortune-teller, the more the result of divination accurate!
"... I was seduced by my father's mistress for the first time ... but she is old now I started alienating her ..."
Borak talks about the past, habits and personality in his life, whether it is secret, or many people know.
Outside the study, the secret guards sent by the Gorse family looked stagnation as they looked at the other end of the corridor. According to the rules of the Gorse family, the guards could not interfere with what the heirs did and what path they chose, as long as they could complete The test, defeating other heirs, becoming the Duke of Gorse, and not betraying the soul and the core interests of the family, then even if it was collusion with the devil, it did not matter.
"Strength and means are the foundation of everything", this is the motto of the Gorse family.
Therefore, the guard did not stop Bolak from entering and exiting the black market. He just kept him safe and recorded it for the old duke. He just helped him find the white candle and apple and put it in a prominent place in the kitchen.
"Why is this magic ritual so weird and inexplicable?" Not long after the ritual started, the consciousness of such guards gradually blurred.
Uh ...
In another room of the villa, Lucian, wearing a black hood, quietly looked at the mirror in front of her, smiling and listening to Borak's detailed and complete description.
