The mage arrives
378 Dealing with the Devil
"Well, it's really fascinating sweet words, you are very likable, Mage Lindeman." The erotic lord smiled beautifully, indescribably beautiful.
"You're also very sweet-talking," Gordon thought.The middle-aged mage he turned into by relying on the Mask of the Faceless Man was bald and fat, with a garlic nose and a beer belly. In terms of appearance, he was definitely not likable.
Although on the surface, devils are much easier to deal with than violent and bloodthirsty demons, Gordon knows that compared to devils, devils who like to trap people with various traps are more difficult to deal with. deal with.
Almost none of the mortals who made deals with the devil in order to satisfy their own desires got a good end-the reason for "almost" is that there are still some well-prepared and resolute people who can deal with the devil in the process of dealing with the devil. Get out of the body and even take advantage of it.
This time, Gordon was going to make a deal with the tiger for its skin.
"Although the main material world is beautiful, people still have a lot of things to do in hell, such as torturing captives, torturing spies, killing enemies, etc... If you have any request, please tell me, mage." Milna stretched her waist , said a little impatiently while showing off her femininity.
Gordon said: "A mortal summons a devil, of course to make a deal."
"Trading? I like it!" Milna said with a smile.
Although the devils of the lawful camp are not suppressed by the power of the plane in the main material world like demons, Milna is still a little unaccustomed to the changes in the environment.Now hear the word "deal".She just came alive.
Tempting mortals to sign a soul contract, and then harvesting the soul of the fool who signed the contract by various means.Then whether it is to devour the soul of a mortal to increase its strength, or transform the soul into a devil.It is a good choice to grow the group.
Being able to climb to the high position of the devil lord, Milna is naturally an expert in this area.
But when she stared at Gordon with her deep red eyes, she showed a puzzled expression: "Strange, why can't I see your soul? Your body is empty, like a black hole."
With the protection of the Mask of the Faceless Man, it is naturally impossible for this high-level Erinyes to see Gordon's true identity.and his soul.
"Ms. Erinia, I am a mage, not an idiot who trades my soul for wealth and power. Please remember."
Whether in the history books stored in the royal library or in the collection of folk tales circulated in the streets and alleys, there are examples of mortals trading with the devil and finally being taken away with their souls.Simply abound.Familiar.Of course, Gordon couldn't be like those fools who were blinded by the **** and believed that he could get everything he wanted from the devil without paying the price.
"Hehe..." Milna covered her mouth and chuckled, and looked at Gordon with crooked eyes, "So, what does this smart and rational mage want from me?"
"An equal deal. I summoned you to the main material world, naturally I want to reach an equal deal. Instead of selling my soul. The devil is the most shrewd businessman, and mages are usually not stupid. Isn't it? "
"You're right." Milna walked back and forth in front of Gordon, twisting her seductive waist and hips, "Then, quickly state your conditions and your requirements. It's time for the devil lord, It's very precious."
The implication is that if Gordon fails to provide a deal that interests her, he may have to bear his wrath.
Gordon pointed to the majestic Gray Shadow Castle in the distance and said, "I need you to help me destroy that castle and kill everyone inside."
"What about the reward?"
"There is a magic spring in the castle, and it stores countless valuable materials, rare magic materials, various magic equipment, and more than two thousand souls. These things should be enough as your reward."
"Hahaha..." Milna laughed loudly, but the light in her eyes became more and more fierce.
"Are you kidding, Mage? You actually want to use this kind of empty promise to deceive me? The so-called reward you offered, you still need me to collect it myself?"
Gordon knew that Lord Eriny was angry, but he didn't panic. Instead, he continued: "In the entire multiverse, I'm afraid there is no good thing that can be enjoyed. The richer the reward, the more effort is required to obtain it. The Lord The metal currency in the material world may not be meaningful to you, but the various weapons and armor in Gray Shadow Castle can greatly enhance the strength of your army. What's more, the humans in this castle, except for some servants, also have Many of them are skilled craftsmen, capable warriors, and even mages. Aren’t the souls of these people attractive to you?”
The dangerous aura on Lord Erinia's body disappeared temporarily, but her eyes were still cold: "The wealth in that castle is indeed very attractive, so why should I reach an agreement with you instead of just now?" Kill you, and then get what you want by yourself? Wouldn’t it be superfluous to make a deal with you.”
"Because," Gordon said after a pause, "without my help, you would not be able to capture this castle on your own."
"Only you? A five-ring mage?" Milna raised her moist red lips disdainfully, "What can you do for me?"
"Although I am only a five-ring mage, there are many things I can do." Gordon said unhurriedly, "First, I can create an illusion circle around Gray Shadow Castle, so that people can't see it." What happened to this castle. You don’t have to worry about annoying dawn paladins or platinum priests. Second, I can activate the teleportation array and let your army enter the main material world. At that time, Wouldn't it be very easy to destroy this castle?"
"You? A five-ring mage? Can you open a teleportation array that is enough for my army to pass through?"
"Yes, but this requires your cooperation."
There are two common ways for outside creatures to come to the main material world.
The first type is descending, that is, the body comes to the main material world.During the demonic invasion in the Cold Mist Mountains, the demonic army led by the Balrog Grondar arrived in the form of descending.Come down, let the demons enter the main material world with their own bodies, so these abyssal creatures can exert their full power, but they will only be suppressed by the power of some planes.However, in order to descend, the conditions are very harsh, and an extremely large amount of energy is required to break the space barrier.
Summoning is the second method.Spellcasters on the main material plane can use certain spells or rituals to bring the projections of creatures from other planes to the main material plane.The projection is not the creature itself, but a clone formed by its own life source energy under the influence of arcane magic.According to the difference in the strength of the summoner, the strength of the projection is only one-tenth to one-half of the main body.Projections are not affected by the power of the planes, but are dispelled by spells.
After the projection dies, the body of the creature on the alien plane will be severely injured, but it will not die.This is why in those novels or legends, before returning to the abyss, the demons defeated by the protagonist will always leave a sentence like "I will come back in 100 years".
This is not an empty threat, but an achievable prophecy.
With Gordon's strength alone, it is naturally impossible to use magic to summon the army of Erinia Lord to the main material world.But given enough time and resources, he could use magical rituals to do just that.
If you add the help of the Erin Demon Lord, there will be no problem.
It took Gordon a week to go back and forth between the imperial capital Longen City and Gray Shadow Castle, and consumed a lot of precious magic materials before arranging two magic ceremonies.A "fantasy of light and shadow" covering the entire periphery of Gray Shadow Castle, making it impossible for the outside world to see what happened in this castle.One is "Advanced Call from Another World".
After listening to Gordon's detailed explanation, Lord Erinyes checked the magic ceremony arranged by the former again, and finally believed in Gordon's words.
There is an endless bloody battle between the devil and the devil, and recently, the devil has gained the upper hand and is about to break into the first floor of the Nine Nether Hell.It is absolutely intolerable for the devils to have their lair touched by those dirty and chaotic creatures.Asmodeus, the lord of the Nine Hells, has issued a death order and asked the devil lords from all levels of hell to go for reinforcements.
In terms of the size of the army, the devil is far inferior to the devil that can almost reproduce endlessly from the chaos.This group was able to maintain a balance of power with the demons in the bloody battle, relying on strict organization, clever strategy, and individuals with stronger combat effectiveness.
Before joining the bloody battle, the lord of Erinia, of course, wanted to increase her strength as much as possible, so she was a little tempted by Gordon's proposal.
"Well, I can feel from here, the various materials stored in that castle, and the magical aura emanating from it. Your conditions are indeed very attractive, but if you want to break through such a well-defended castle with elite troops stationed The castle will cost you a lot. If you want to convince me, you still need to work hard." Milna put one hand on Gordon's shoulder, and fiddled with her jade fingers with the other hand, sliding back and forth on Gordon's chest.
Gordon knew that the erotic lord was already tempted, and his words were just playing hard to get, hoping to get more benefits.
Ignoring the other party's teasing, Gordon took out a crystal ball, injected it with arcane energy, and made it light up quickly.
A top view marking the defensive positions of all the soldiers in Fort Gray Shadow was projected from the crystal ball and presented in front of the two of them.
Milna raised her lips: "That's right, with the defense information, I can indeed reduce the loss of some soldiers. But it's not enough."
Gordon pointed to the places marked with red dots on the bird's-eye view: "I made some small manipulations at these locations. When your army launches an attack, the walls of Fort Gray Shadow will be destroyed immediately."
"Mr. Lindemann, you really gave me a surprise."
"I am a mage, and sufficient preparation is a necessary condition for defeating the enemy. There is nothing to boast about. Then, Ms. Milna, can we sign the contract?" (To be continued...)
"You're also very sweet-talking," Gordon thought.The middle-aged mage he turned into by relying on the Mask of the Faceless Man was bald and fat, with a garlic nose and a beer belly. In terms of appearance, he was definitely not likable.
