Cecilian sometimes wondered if he had made the right choice.

He had lived in the Tower of Cecilian for far too long, and he had long since become accustomed to living as a tower. Although this kind of life is indeed a bit boring, and many times he has to endure the stupidity of the researchers and apprentices in the tower, it is the kind of life he is most comfortable with. When he was alive, he lived the same life almost every day.

It takes courage to change.

But volunteering to stay in the tower and being trapped in it are two different things, and in any case, he made up his mind and signed a contract with His Majesty Eliot, now the Demon King, to leave the Tower of Cecilian as his advisor and start a more turbulent life.

This life was very different from what he used to be, and sometimes he didn't have time to think about whether it was worth it. Eventually, though, he stayed.

What prompted him to persist was the promise that the Demon King had promised him:

Elliot had promised him that in due time, he would make him a body.

For a ghost who was once a human but now had to cling to a tower or a crystal bottle to survive, a body was arguably the most important thing Cecylian had wanted for a long time. When he gets his body, he can regain his freedom. Sehilian had thought countless times that when that day came, what would he do first?

He wanted to see Marianne.

This answer was unbelievable even to him. Once upon a time, when Cecilian had the body of a demon, he was the guest of honor at all banquets, surrounded by countless noble women, eager to be favored by him. He was always patient and gentle with them, like all other aristocratic men, but his heart was always obsessed with research, and did not stop for any woman...... But when Cecilian became a Taling, he never had the chance to meet the cute girl again.

Later he met Isaiah. Isaiah was the first woman he had seen in a thousand years, and Cecilian thought she was cute, but thought she lacked a bit of feminine femininity. He was in a hurry to get out of the tower, and he didn't have time to think about anything else. When he finally got out of the tower and was put into the little crystal bottle, he saw the little cat-man girl.

Cecilian had seen many cat people before, and most of them appeared at banquets as maids. If it had been, he wouldn't have even looked at them more, but when Elliot threw the little creature naked into the bathroom, Cecilian suddenly realized that she was...... Lovely.

If Cecilian had a pair of hands, he would have touched her furry ears and tail. But the cold crystal bottle had no touch, and he couldn't touch her.

He longed to talk to her a few more times, and he wanted to become familiar with her. Sadly, however, before they could make any contact, Isaiah brought her into the human realm.

Cecilian was not discouraged by this. He had been around for a thousand years, and years were only a moment for him. He fulfilled his promise and did a lot for the Demon King Elliot as an advisor. When the Demon Realm finally settled down, and Elliot finally grew into a qualified Demon King, and no longer needed him by his side all the time, Cecilian began to remind the Demon King that his promise had been fulfilled, and it was now the Demon King's turn to fulfill his promise.

Elliot readily agreed, but it was not easy to create a body, and for thousands of years, no demon had ever been able to successfully accomplish this task. There is a small amount of ancient esoteric art in some ancient books, but most of them are vague, making it doubtful that the authors of those ancient books actually witnessed who had ever accomplished this great feat.

But Cecilian himself is the greatest mage of all time, and nothing he can't do if he wants to do it. Cehilian synthesized all the information he knew about it, analyzed and deduced it, and devised a reasonable plan. He reported the plan he had compiled to the Demon King, and the Demon King Elliot passed on the will and began to collect materials throughout the Demon Realm.

Most of these materials are very rare, but with the will of the Demon King, all the materials will be collected within a year. The Demon King built a secret chamber for Cecilian and piled all the materials in it.

Cecilian had no body, and all his ideas had to be realized by the Demon King. The Demon King placed a cauldron in the center of the chamber and threw various ingredients into the cauldron in turn according to Cecilian's instructions.

All kinds of rare materials were thrown into the pot as if they didn't need money, and the liquid in the pot kept changing colors, and Cecilian looked at this strange scene, and his voice trembled with excitement. If he had a heart, his heart might be so tense that it would stop. As Elliot operates, he asks Cecilian for details. When all the ingredients had been exhausted, the liquid in the pot began to emit a strange aroma, and Elliot began to pour the purest magic into it.

The power of the Demon King was incomparably strong, but the cauldron in front of him was like a vortex absorbing magical power, making Elliot almost lose his strength. Seeing that Elliot's magic power was about to be sucked away, he hurriedly grabbed a large handful of magic crystals from the side and threw them into the pot.

The liquid in the cauldron absorbed the magic of the magic crystal and began to spin rapidly, rising into the air and transforming into a human-like form. Cecilian screamed excitedly in the crystal bottle for Elliot to pour it into the pot. Elliot grabbed the bottle and poured Cecilian's ghost into the cauldron in front of him.

Smoke rose from the cauldron, and the ghost of Cecilian let out a terrible cry of pain, the sound of a soul being cooked, and the form that had risen into the air fell back into the pot, splashing hot water.

Then the sound was gone.

Eliot thought that Cecilian had failed, and that his spirit had vanished, so he no longer made a sound. He looked at the boiling cauldron with some sadness, not knowing what to say.

At this time, a white hand reached out from the pot and grasped the rim of the pot. It's not like an ordinary demon's hand, it's very slender, the bones are slender, it looks very dexterous, and the color is a little strange, gray and white to almost translucent.

It was a terrible scene, but Elliot cried out with joy. He saw Sehilian's head emerge from the water, and uttered a voice that was all too familiar to him: "Your Majesty, come and help me." ”

Elliot hurriedly reached over and pulled Cecilian out of the pot. Only then did he see Cecilian's appearance clearly. He was tall and thin, and his appearance was very young, just like the portrait of him that Eliot had seen in Cecilian Tower, but his complexion was a little strange, very different from ordinary demons, but a bit like a blood clan. However, Cecilian was happy enough to get his body, and he didn't care what kind of demon he looked like.

Just as Cecilian finally gained the form he had always dreamed of, Marianne was in front of Mars's Demon Shop, watching her caravan men load their goods and prepare to leave for the Demon Realm. She has been in the human world for a long time, and she has become accustomed to the life of the human world, and she does not miss the time in the demon world at all. To be honest, she really didn't encounter anything good in the demon world, and before she met Isaiah, her life was too miserable, so she just wanted to forget those experiences as soon as possible.

Marianne had a good life in the human world, as the first demon merchant to travel between the demon world and the human world, she opened this demon shop at the behest of Queen Isaiah, which also made her the vice president of the "Mars Demon Chamber of Commerce". Everything was very safe for her, and with the protection of two monarchs, she didn't have to worry about anything else.

In such a life, Marianne could hardly remember seeing such a strange demon in a bottle. So, when Cecilian found her and gave her name, she just looked at him suspiciously. His complexion was so pale that Marianne remembered the Lord Byron, her master in the Bloodline's underground lair, and she winced.

"You don't need to be afraid of me. He felt a little sad when he saw her reaction, "I have traveled with two Majesties with you...... Have you forgotten all these things?"

His words reminded Marianne:

"I remember, you're the weirdo guy in the bottle. You're finally out of the bottle?"

"Weird guy in a bottle" isn't a good title, but it's enough to make Cecilian happy:

"His Majesty the Demon King made this body for me. He said, "I will come to you as soon as I am free...... We're friends, aren't we? Do you remember the first time we met?"

Marianne looked at Cecilian's overly enthusiastic face, and remembered the embarrassing scene on the day they first met, and her face flushed with shame.

"Who's friends with you!" she yelled at him, picking up everything she could find and throwing it at him, "You psychotic!"

Cecylian was the greatest mage of all time, and this new body gave him more mana than before, and he instinctively caught every thing that came at him with his spells, and then stuck his head out desperately from behind this mass of debris and shouted:

"Marianne, I miss you so much, could you please give me a chance?"

Perhaps it was because his voice was a little pitiful, or because his appearance was so funny, or perhaps because his eyes were so serious and moving, Marianne finally laughed:

"Okay, you can stay, I still need someone to help settle the score...... Put things down. ”

Cecilian happily agreed, put the thing in his hand on the ground, and walked back in front of Marianne.

"I've been thinking about you for so long. He said softly, "I've been thinking that when I'm free, I'm going to have to come to see you." ”

As he spoke, he took out a bouquet of roses out of nowhere and handed it to her.

Marianne recognized that the rose in his hand was a famous variety known in the Demon Realm as the Moonlight Rose, and that it would never wither as long as magic was constantly poured into it. Young people will give them to lovers as proof of lasting love. The roses were very beautiful and gave off a rich fragrance, and Marianne reached out and took the bouquet of flowers.

Cehilian was ecstatic.

"Don't get too excited. "This is just the beginning of the test. ”

"It doesn't matter. Cecilian smiled and said, "I still have a long time to go." ”

They walked into the store with roses and were to work and live together from then on. Will Cecilian be able to catch up with Marianne? maybe. Anyway, demons have a long life, and there is enough time to waste. One day they will get to know each other better, know each other's secrets, become lovers or true friends, and they will always have the possibility of having happiness...... They will always be happy in the end.
