Chapter 182: Demon Summoning
A beautiful girl in a red dress?
Mary was a little unsure, but when she looked up, she met the look of Teacher Edmund, and her blue eyes were full of encouragement.
The look at Mary gave her courage at once, and she stood up.
"Because most summoning techniques are usually dealing with demons, it is also quite risky. ”
Mary said in a crisp voice.
"That's right. ”
With a satisfied smile on his face, Edmund added, "The summoning spell is a very special spell, not so much a spell created by us humans as a spell given to us by demons. ”
Many of the apprentices below had a look of surprise on their faces, they really didn't expect such a statement.
"Teacher Edmund, but in all sorts of legends, aren't demons all sinister and cunning evil creatures? ”
Finally, one of the apprentices couldn't help it anymore and asked Edmund directly about the doubts in his heart.
The smile on Edmund's face disappeared in an instant, and he squinted his eyes, glared at the apprentice who spoke up, and said coldly, "Who did you listen to that?"
The apprentice seemed to be overpowered by Edmund's sudden outburst, his lips squirming, but he said nothing.
"Demons are not necessarily what you think, they also have a complete ecology, as for the statement that the demon likes to eat human souls, in fact, it is just nonsense, after all, no one can really confirm it, and even if the demon really eats the soul of humans, it is also voluntary, you must know that all demon summoning actually has a contract, how can human beings want to drive demons to do things without paying any price? Demons are powerful beings that have existed since time immemorial, do you think they will be the kind of charity that volunteers help others? You must know that even those guys from the Heavenly Continent are not people who can be summoned and waved away, and without the worship of believers for many years, they will ignore you?"
Edmund had a mocking smile on his face.
His words seemed so plausible that the group of apprentices couldn't argue with them.
Neither demons nor angels can respond to the call of mortals at will, and compared to the faith of angels, which requires years of faith and prayer to summon, at least the threshold for summoning demons is much lower, as long as you pay a sufficient price.
"Teacher, does it cost my soul to summon a demon? I don't want to lose my soul. ”
A female apprentice asked, looking a little trembling.
The female apprentice was far less beautiful than Mary, and Edmund gave him a casual look, and said colorlessly, "No, do you think that all the rituals of summoning demons require souls? If so, I'm afraid there is no need to set up such a course, because the teachers in charge of teaching such a course must be soulless guys in the first place." ”
"Hahahaha-"
The appropriate amount of humor made all the apprentices in the class laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Okay, today is your first summoning class, generally speaking, the first or even the first few lessons of any new course are theory, but I think the pure theory class is actually quite boring, even if it makes you more interested in this course, I decided to show you the real demon summoning in the first class. ”
The apprentices below were immediately in an uproar.
"No, you're really going to summon demons?"
"Terrible!"
"What kind of demon will it summon? Could it be that kind of demon?"
"What kind of demon are you talking about?
……
Apparently this news made many of the apprentices excited, after all, for the vast majority of apprentices, this was the first time to summon a demon, and the first time they were going to actually see a demon.
Of course, in addition to the excitement, there are also many apprentices who actually feel a little scared and frightened, after all, in the stories they have heard since childhood, demons play evil and terrifying roles, feeding on humans, taking human souls, controlling human minds, creating fears that make humans crazy, and the horrific and bloody sacrifices that accompany the process of summoning them, cruel and bloody rituals, etc., etc., all of which make people feel creepy.
But these apprentices will not show it even if they are afraid, but will show more anticipation and fearlessness.
After all, no one wants to be seen as a coward.
Seeing the enthusiastic atmosphere of the apprentices, Edmund nodded in satisfaction.
"It seems that everyone is looking forward to it, so I'll show you the simplest demon summoning ritual. ”
Edmund walked to the podium, he took out the props he had prepared from the drawer of the podium, and placed them on the podium one by one, because the lectern was located at the lowest point of the Circle Lecture Hall, so that all the apprentices could clearly see what was on the podium.
"Now I am starting to set up the summoning arrays one by one, and explain the specific role of each step and the summoning medium used, in order to better explain and demonstrate to the students, I need an assistant. ”
Before the apprentices could bravely recommend themselves, Edmund directly named the people he needed.
"The beautiful young lady who answered my question just now is you. ”
With a warm smile on his face, he beckoned in El's direction.
Of course, the person he wanted was definitely not Al who looked rather gloomy and mysterious in his cloak, but the beautiful girl sitting next to Al and Mary, who was also the girl of the current class.
Mary's face froze, she actually didn't want to be an assistant summoned by the devil, but since the teacher had all pointed to her, she didn't dare not give the teacher face, the stiff expression only appeared on her face for a moment and then disappeared, replaced by the gentle smile she usually wore on her face.
She nodded and walked down the podium.
Perhaps sensing Mary's restraint and nervousness, Edmund smiled and comforted her, "Don't be nervous, girl, what's your name?" ”
"Mary. ”
"Well, very good, Mary, what we are going to summon next is actually a very small demon, which will not pose any threat to humans at all, if it is not living in the Demon Continent but living in the Eternal Continent, maybe they can become good friends of humans, and then you just need to listen to my instructions and make some simple arrangements, understand?"
"Understood. ”
Mary took a soft breath. (To be continued.) )
