Chapter 353: Dancing with the Devil (1)

That night, the second floor of the small building in the dock area

The second floor of this house was originally used by witches to store valuables. However, with the improvement of its stronghold, this warehouse-like house has also completed its mission. However, the secret design designed by the witches to hide the items

Doors and many compartments gave Cheese a perfect space to play. After writing a large number of magic symbols on the walls of the current room, and deliberately sealing the only two doors in the room with wax oil, he got

A safe enough secret room.

Roland and Sparrow on the first floor of the small building didn't know what the mage was doing upstairs. For them, it was completely normal for the caster to want to be alone for a while. But for Cheese, he had to use this time to

The two of them didn't ask much about what they were doing. However, if they knew that the mage was going to summon a real devil here, they probably wouldn't be so leisurely anymore.

Summoning devils is not a difficult thing for cheese. Devils have always been very happy to respond to the calls of humans or other intelligent creatures. Even in order to make it easier for these potential trading partners to summon themselves, the devils will use various methods to summon them.

The method of summoning is spread by means. According to incomplete statistics in the Gray Tower Library, the most popular devils in the world are

The number of summoning spells is at least ten times that of demon summoning spells. Unlike demon summoning, which can only be performed by real spellcasters, the devils do not care about the status of the traders. As long as they can take away the soul, they do not care about asking them for help.

It doesn't matter whether it's a king or a farmer, so all kinds of weird but effective summoning spells came into being.

What the cheese is going to cast now is a safer one among these spells. On the floor of the secret room, a fine pentagram pattern is drawn with white wax oil, and at the same time, there is a stick on each of the five corners of the pentagram.

A candle soaked in goat's blood. The mage himself sat on a wooden chair in the center of the five-pointed star. This was not the first time that Cheese summoned the devil, but this time the object he summoned was definitely the strongest one in the past.

Regarding the broker, Cheese thought of many people who could provide him with information. For example, his teacher, Clark, the Lord of the Gray Tower, must know the relevant information. In addition, Senior Sister An Lina, whose life span exceeds ordinary people's imagination, is also very likely to know.

Relevant secrets. It is obviously much safer to ask these people. But the mage cannot do this. The reason is very simple, although Cheese believes that the information in the hands of these people must be better than making a deal with the devil.

What you get must be safe and accurate, but both Clark and Alina have good reasons to hide part of the relevant content. They always do this. The mage can understand this approach and present the too cruel truth to the unprepared at once.

People who are against the spirit of the Gray Tower. So Cheese also knows that if he wants to get the truth here and now, he cannot rely on the companions of the Gray Tower. Only by embracing the darkness can you understand the darkness.

The windows in the secret room were naturally sealed with wax, but the dim afterglow of the setting sun still shone in through the mottled glass windows. Dusk is a wonderful moment. In the eyes of poets, it is far more than a symbol of rebirth.

It is much more romantic than the sunrise of growing up. In the view of the mage, this is the most suitable time of the day to summon the devil. The special time of dusk, when black and white are confused, coincides with the evil but lawful contradictory nature of the devils.

combine.

"Hoo" cheese didn't use any magic, but the candles in the room burned on their own. At first, the white candle on the five-pointed star emitted a gentle yellow flame, but as the goat's blood in the tray seemed to

Life flows upward along the edge of the candle, and the color of the candlelight gradually becomes uncomfortable.

.When the five candles completely turned red, the light from their wicks was already as dark green as a rotten swamp. The five waxes were the only light sources in this room, and they cast five shadows from five directions.

, when these shadows slowly converge to the center of the pentagram, the color of the candlelight suddenly changes back to orange.

"I have to say that for a gray robe, I am flattered by your rigorous preparations." A tall and thin figure standing behind the mage's chair at some point stretched out his hands, put them on the back of the wooden chair, and lowered his head.

Cheese whispered in his ear. "Especially, this is not the first time we have met.

Mr. Cheese." The candlelight illuminated the figure's clothes. It was a black suit that covered every inch of skin on the body. Only the man's face showed different colors. He carried a drawing

A mask with blue and red lines and an exaggerated smiley face painted on it.

The mage chuckled lightly, "When communicating with a being like you, no amount of precautions is too much."

The smiling man tilted his head, and a thin and high voice continued to come out from under the mask, "I will take this as your compliment to me. Then, dear Mr. Cheese, why did you summon me this time?

What? Don’t forget, you owed me a favor last time at the Iron Castle. You haven’t gotten the things I asked you to find for me yet.”

"Well, I was deceived by Marcus, a pure mortal. Should I say that you, the devil, are really unprofessional?" Faced with the other party's whisper, Cheese still maintained a smile. However, under the clothes that the smiling man could not see,

In his sleeves, the mage's knuckles were already turning white from tension. The devil didn't tell him that Marcus was

A name. After rescuing Cheese from the Many-legged Lady in the Iron Castle, he only told the mage that the person who stole his things was in this kingdom, but did not give any more hints. Therefore, Cheese said the name Marcus

When I was picking out the name, I was not 100% sure if he was the person the devil was looking for.

"You don't need to worry about whether I am professional or not, Gray Robe. Since you have found the thief, why don't you take action yet?" The Laughing Man's voice was a little angry, but the mage could guarantee that he must be pretending. But the other party's reaction

Let Cheese be convinced that he has found the right person.

"Look, I'm actually not sure that Marcus is that person, so why don't I just confirm with you whether I'm wrong? If I find the wrong person, it won't be a good thing for you or me.

Isn't it?" The mage raised his eyebrows, pretending not to care.

Knowing what Cheese said, he got an unexpected reaction, "Haha, hahaha, hahahaha!" The mage didn't need to look back to know that the devil behind him was probably laughing so hard that he couldn't stand. This kind of unexpected reaction

The situation made him frown.

"Oh, please forgive me for my gaffe!" The devil laughed for about five minutes before he stopped and touched the non-existent tears at the corners of the mask's eyes with his hand. "After all, your appearance really made me happy. I really didn't

Thinking about just meeting once and adding the information you got from the mouth of that dementor girl, you can come to this conclusion. Tell me, is this your exclusive magic? Can you detect the special smell of that thief?

"

"Not everything has to rely on magic. Observing and thinking about the connections between things is enough to detect many things. This is something I only recently learned. The person who taught me this is having dinner downstairs right now." Cheese

He straightened his body and said. As for why the devil knew about his meeting with Marcus and the information he asked about Hill on the carriage, the mage knew that the other party would not tell him.

"You mean the old guy wearing a big hat? Well, his soul is too, uh, complicated, not my type. But that's not the point. Do you want to continue telling me about your growth experience, or should we go straight to
