Master Griggs's words seemed to open another door for Catherine, she never thought that the Royal Academy and even the major academies in the Eastern Continent had already begun to study souls.

In short, soul studies have always been a hot topic in academia, and this craze dates back at least sixty or seventy years. Before you were born, our institute was already ahead of other faculties in this area of research. It's just that a lot of the research results are kept secret, after all, the religious church is not so easy to mess with, and we don't need to have a head-on conflict with them. Master Griggs added, "When you come back, join me in my research project if you are interested." Rather than burying your head in the pile of old papers, exploring the unknown is the real fun. ”

Griggs didn't even forget to dig into the corners of his old friend.

"Master, do you know the devils? They are masters of the soul. Catherine held up the Rubik's Cube in her hand, "This is actually the soul of a great devil, and he also claims to be the Lord of Hell, Bosetto Ifil. ”

"Huh?" Griggs' voice sounded surprised and excited, though expressionless. He snatched the Soul Cube and flipped it in the firelight.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. Griggs muttered to himself, "But if it's the legendary Demon King Bosertohir, he shouldn't be easily restrained by this gadget." ”

After studying it for a while, Griggs reluctantly handed the Soul Cube back to Catherine.

"When I came, this Soul Cube had already been encapsulated, and it was impossible to open it now to see what was going on. The study of the devil has always been an unpopular subject. They are a race that is born with the ability to manipulate souls and are said to have mastered a large number of mysteries in the realm of souls. So you have to be careful with this guy in your hand, he may break through the seal of the Soul Cube at any time. After the Soul Cube is activated, it mainly relies on your spirit and will to control it. I'm sure you, as a magician, shouldn't have a hard time feeling its presence. And if you can find a way to store soul energy into it. Maybe I can let my will be projected again and get in touch. Griggs instructed the female mage.

"I'll be careful and won't let this guy out. Catherine thought for a moment and asked. "Do you have any information about the devil for me? ”

Master Griggs shook his head and said, "Hardly. Today, there is no trace of them in the terrestrial world. There may still be demons in the underground world, but it is the force of the abyss, and it is easy to penetrate into it. ”

"Alas!" Master Griggs sighed not without regret, "you probably don't know that the Church has been dedicated to collecting and destroying all information about the devil for hundreds of years. If the Pope were here now, he would have been able to tell you a lot of useful information. ”

And they did. It has been very effective, and no one among ordinary people believes that there is still a devil in our world. The mage said.

"yes, go on like this. Another hundred years. Maybe those of us who do research don't believe it anymore. Master Griggs' tone immediately became hot again, "But this Soul Cube has now captured a devil. I believe that no college has such a * specimen. It's just that to study further, you'll have to wait until you get back. ”

"I don't think it's possible to go back anytime soon. Catherine smiled wryly, "Master." Please tell my teacher. I'm in a prison in the underworld, and I really don't know if I'll be able to get back to the surface. ”

"I've never heard of this, the underground world is so big that I haven't even studied it. Alas, my child. It seems that your experience this time is very unusual. You were in too much of a hurry that day, the Doden Mountains were once the place where the gods fell, and it was very different from the outside world. But it's too late to say anything now, I just hope you can be careful. Griggs looked at the smaller and smaller flames in the fireplace and said, "This exchange came so suddenly, I hadn't prepared much in the lab before. Quisling had asked Old Man Sworth to pick you up, but the old man hadn't returned. ”

"I did meet Master Swo. But then, the generals of the Dead Kingdom suddenly visited the corner city, and a series of events separated us. Catherine's tone lowered, "My members are lost too. ”

"Child, I want you to be strong, there is no hopelessness in this world. The fire in the fireplace was slowly extinguishing, and Master Griggs's body was gradually dimming, "Now that you have arrived in the corner city, Quislin will definitely find a way to negotiate with them, and we will look for your members together." Thanks to your information, the Death Realm has finally extended its tentacles to the Eastern Continent. You have to be strong, Catherine, and I look forward to seeing each other again soon. ”

The fire was extinguished, and Griggs vanished. Catherine sat in the darkness and sighed, rubbing her forehead and eyes as if she had just woken up from an illusory dream. But she still held the Soul Cube in her hand, the bright and dark cube that told the mage that everything had happened.

Catherine held the Soul Cube up to her eyes, and there was a little rabbit banging on the wall. He seemed to be cursing loudly, asking the female mage to let him out as soon as possible.

Catherine laughed, it turned out that this was what the Ku Keeper was looking for himself, and he could really seal His Majesty the Demon King. For a long time, Catherine didn't know that Quisling and Griggs had buried such a magical thing in the depths of her soul.

"It should have happened when I went to the Alchemy Research Institute to attend a lecture. Catherine now thinks back and knows it. That day, she was walking up and down the stairs of the Alchemy Research Institute when she suddenly fainted. Catherine had always thought it was because she was overworked. Later, when she woke up in the common room, she was very touched by the presence of both Master Griggs and her teacher Quisling. But now it seems that there is another reason for this "special concern".

Quislin also told Catherine that she must rest for a month and not go out to adventure. For the next month, Guisling watched over her as never before. Catherine tried to sneak back to 17th West Main Street several times, but was intercepted by the Grand Magician halfway.

"That month was to observe whether there were any sequelae left after the implantation of the Soul Rubik's Cube. The female mage thought depressedly.
