The 156th chapter night exploration of the haunted house (9)
Feeling like a game back, Maines said: "It's useless, everyone thinks so, your denial has no effect."
What's the matter with this! Danica took a few deep breaths, suppressed her upset mood, and said, "My little thing is just a little chat. Your affairs are much more serious. If the academy knows that you are a warlock, what would happen?"
Except for the southern coastal areas where "you can sell anything for money" atmosphere, everyone in the Katic continent calls for professions like warlocks, such as demons, to deal with demons. If the academy finds out, it is a trivial matter, and it is very likely to be "purified" directly. Although Solomon is a rich country with good military strength, does she dare to argue with the three major magic academies? Both sides are not on the same level at all.
When Maines thought of the tragic experience he might have, his face darkened and said, "What do you want to do?"
Danica smiled and asked, "What is the name of the demon who deals with you?" She just got into the altar close together. Although it does have the aura of a demon, it doesn't feel like Vikhamund. Are there other demons planning to develop their business in their world?
Mainz waved his hand and said untiringly: "What does this have to do with you?"
Danica lowered her head and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "You won't know what the devil is called, right? You are not a warlock, you are not a good person!" In fact, most warlocks, especially low-level warlocks, don't know what the devil is called. They often cannot even feel the existence of the demon, but just communicate in a vague and mysterious way. Vikhamund has some exceptions. He has special intentions for this world, so he is so "friendly". Even Danica, a magician who is not a warlock, can communicate directly with him. This is actually a very rare situation.
But Meins didn't know, and Danica really hit her pain point. Meins, a sorcerer, was not very good. Although she took great risks, she did not gain much power from the demons. Of course, this cannot be blamed for her. There are too few sorcerers in this world, and the relevant knowledge inheritance is also scattered. Meins got a broken sorcerer note by chance and embarked on the road of dealing with the demons. But what should the sorcerer do, the most basic, how to complete the sacrifice. She didn't know the steps and details of the steps and details of it. She still didn't realize that the altar she built was wrong. Otherwise, with the seven major sin sects she sacrificed, she wouldn't have achieved this now. Apart from being able to command a few dead bodies, she hadn't gained any other power.
Seeing that Meines's face turned red and could not say a word, Danica smiled and said, "Do you want me to introduce you to a new partner?" She snapped her fingers, and a light sound, and a green evil fire appeared on her fingertips.
Maines grew up and couldn't believe the scene in front of her. She pointed at Danica and stammered: "You... are you... warlocks too?"
Danica extinguished the evil fire and said, "Of course not. I am a magician, an authentic and pure magician. But by chance, I met a demon, the great demon in the abyss."
Maines looked at Danica and was completely confused. She said, "What the hell do you want?"
Danica kept a faint smile on her face and said, "It's nothing, I just want to make friends."
Maines asked suspiciously: "It's just that? As far as I know, you are not interested in entering the upper class." She doesn't think that Danica is a person who likes to make friends. It is said that Aphro has introduced her to the aristocratic circle of this academy at Mekas' birthday party. However, in more than a month, Danica has not attended a dance party, or even attended any afternoon tea party or private salon. How could such an introverted and indifferent guy want to make friends with him?
Danica said: "Of course, what else can it be? I exposed you, will the college give me any rewards? Maines, you don't need to think so much. Isn't there a saying? Having a common secret can make the relationship between two people more intimate. Now we have a common secret, so we should be able to become close friends."
"Yes, we do have a common secret." The fact that trading with the demon is too sensitive and the risk is too great. Even Mekas doesn't know that his sister has become a warlock, but now, Danica knows the secret.
Danica took out a small box, handed it out, and said, "As a new friend, I'll give you a gift!"
Mainz walked over carefully and took the small box from Danica's hand. After opening it, he saw a very simple ring inside, with an ordinary small stone on it. Mainz glanced at Danica, hesitated for a while before he made up his mind to put the ring on his hand.
Seeing that Maines accepted the ring, Danica announced in a high tone: "Welcome to the Apostles, Miss Solomon."
After putting on the ring, Maines felt it seriously, and then looked at Danica in surprise. From this ring, she felt a powerful and clear will. With her incomplete reserve of sorcerer knowledge, she knew that this ring was communicating with a demon, the great demon in the abyss.
Maines' thoughts flew around, and after a while, he asked, "Are you a member of the Apostles?"
Danica nodded and said, "Yes." As she said that, she also took out her own apostle ring. Originally, this apostle ring was to be worn on her right index finger, but now her entire right hand is wrapped in a ball and she really can't wear it.
Mainz continued, "But you are not a warlock?"
Danica said, “Yes.”
Judging from Danica's tone, the Apostle Church is an association where warlocks gather. Such a shameful association should be very hidden. Since Danica has the power to develop members alone, she should have a high status in the Apostle Church, but she is not a warlock and a magician. This is something that Meins can't understand.
Seeing Meines's confused look on his face, Danica said: "It doesn't matter whether he is a warlock or not. There are many ways to trade with demons. You don't have to accept the power of evil."
Mainz hesitated and said, "Can I do this too?" The risk of becoming a warlock is still too great. At this stage, it's okay that the evil energy on her body is very weak, but in the future, with the growth of the rank, the power of evil energy cannot be hidden, especially in places like the three major magicians like the three magic academies where high-level magicians gather.
Danica smiled. Is this girl stupid? She said, "Of course this is OK, but have you ever wondered why you wanted to become a warlock?"
Maines was silent for a while and said, "I hope to gain powerful strength. In this world, strength is the foundation. The title of aristocrat can only bring some glitz."
Danica said: "So how far can you go on the path of magic without becoming a warlock?"
Meines said bitterly: "I can't go much far. My magical talent is not good. It's already a luxury to be a mid-level magician, but what's the use of a mid-level magician for the Kingdom of Solomon?"
Danica said: "Then you should have the answer now."
Mainz closed his eyes, slowed down for a while before opening it again, and said, "You are right. I don't have magical talent, but I still hope to become a high-level profession with powerful power. Then I have to take risks, even if I betray the soul to the demon." The reason why warlocks have such a bad reputation is because this is a profession that sells souls. While gaining powerful power, warlocks also sacrifice their souls to the demons. There are bad people and good people in any other profession, but only warlocks cannot have good people, because any warlock is a puppet of the demon.
"No!" said Danica, "We apostles will indeed be dealing with demons, but this is an equal transaction. We do not need to sell our souls to demons. The power of evil is not something that can only be relied on the gifts of demons, but we can also obtain it ourselves!"
Mainz looked at Danica in surprise. This was the first time she had seen such a rude warlock to the demon. Although she had never seen any other warlock, and Danica was not a warlock, her words still shocked Meins. She looked at the Apostle Ring in her hand. She could feel a will that had been watching here. It was a waste of time to say such words under the gaze of a demon. Mainz said in a panic: "Danica, what do you mean by this sentence?"
Danica frowned and muttered in her heart, "How do I know what this means?" The sentence just now was purely blurted out and it didn't go through the brain at all, but it was not that she made up the sentence by her. For Danica's side, this sentence is more similar to a fact, a knowledge point, although she didn't know how she learned this knowledge point.
Could it be the power of blood? This is the only result that Danica can guess. Her blood power has awakened tonight. Danica has heard of the saying that "blood can convey knowledge", but she doesn't believe it at all, and there is no example to prove this statement, but it may not be without cause. Since this statement has been passed down, it may be a bit true.
"Danika, what do you mean?" Seeing Danika stunned, Maines asked again.
At this time, Danica had already reacted and said with a smile: "This matter cannot be explained clearly for a while. You just need to know that warlocks are not a desperate profession, but can also become a powerful magic profession that can walk in the sun like a magician."
Danica said this very confidently. Although she was half-believing and half-doubted, Maines had some hope and was not so desperate about her future.
"It would be great if that." Even if it was just a beautiful illusion, Meins didn't want to expose it now. "Danica, I have to say that I feel much more relaxed now. I only felt this way when I was drunk." Meins had been in fear and despair before, and this huge psychological pressure made her develop the habit of drinking.
Danica said: "That feeling of loneliness and despair will never happen again. Our members of the Apostles are close partners."
Maines asked, "How many people will there be?" She had just joined, and it was a bit inappropriate to ask the gathering point, but the scale could be asked!
Unexpectedly, Danica was unwilling to reveal it. She blinked her eyes and said, "You don't need to know this. When the right time comes, we will naturally get together, but there is one thing you can know that this apostle will be founded by me."
Mainz looked at Danica and said with a wry smile: "I believe you are not Aphro's companion now. People like you are really too dangerous." They are not a warlock themselves, but they can set up a warlock association and communicate with a big demon. This kind of person is not the kind of canary that can be kept in a cage. She is a falcon and a dangerous creature. However, Danica gives Mainz a feeling that he is more similar to a vulture, hiding in the dark forever, relying on carrion for a living.
Danica was very happy about Maines's comments. She said, "It's not the time to talk about this. Can you tell me why I'm here? This apartment is quite lively today."
"I know Aphrod revealed this plan to me, and although she wasn't very detailed, I could guess what she wanted to do, and I realized that if I came here today, I could collect a lot of corpses, high-quality corpses that could be used for sacrifice."
Danica shook her head and said, "What the devil needs is the soul, and the flesh and blood have limited temptation to them. By the way, I'm very curious about one thing. You spread the rumors of haunted in this apartment, so that people don't disturb your sacrifice." This is indeed a good way. It can effectively avoid the disturbance of idle people, and can also attract some people in the darkness of society to come here to commit crimes. This is equivalent to having a stable way to obtain sacrifices.
Mainz shook his head and said, "It's not true. The haunted rumors about this apartment are true. I have been here many times, but most of them choose to be during the day. If you come to the night, you can see some weird scenes."
Just then, Danica and Maines heard slight footsteps.
Someone came again? The two of them quickly calmed down and hid in the dark corner deep in the basement.
The girl was also here, with a terrifying mask on her face. After entering the basement, she lifted the mask, and below was a familiar face Danica - her own face.
Mainz looked at the two Danicas who looked exactly the same in horror. Which one was true?
