Chapter X
As Carson's figure disappeared behind the door of the chamber, Sarud, who had been watching the mage leave, burst out laughing maniacally, and the demon looked excitedly at Rhaegar in front of him, a look that bordered on greed enough to make anyone feel numb.
Rhaegar looked at the demon in front of him without the slightest expression on his face.
"I have to say," Salud, who was laughing wildly, suddenly became extremely calm, he stared at Rhaegar standing outside the magic circle, and said in an extremely rational tone, "Your disguise is extremely successful, but that can't fool me." β
Rhaegar was not flustered by the other party's words, he already knew that the demon's spiritual power had already entered his soul when the other party had discovered his secret.
"How did you find out?" Rhaegar asked calmly, "Why didn't you tell Carson?"
"The great Sarud can do anything. "Actually, you're not clever at itβusing a portion of the soul from Rhaegar as a cloak and the real soul being wrapped in it, and then pretending to have lost his memory," said the demon triumphantly, "is a very difficult but not practical method. Sarud looked at the young man in front of him with blazing eyes: "If it weren't for Carson's fear of damaging your soul and not daring to go too deep, he would have discovered your secret a long time ago, and only such a fool would fall for you." β
"But this fool has detained you," Rhaegar sneered quietly, "and whatever you are doing when he needs it, you must rush to it like a pet that hears the bell of the meal." β
This clearly angered Sarud, and the demon roared and rushed towards Rhaeggar, only to be stopped by the magic circle.
"Humble little bug," Sarud's thunderous roar echoed through the chamber, "Don't try to anger the great Sarud, it will make you regret it." β
"Tell me your true purpose," the demon's threat didn't intimidate Rhaegar "as long as your offer is good for both of us, I'll consider it." β
Rhaegar's composure reminded Sarud once again that the cunning demon was far from being as reckless as he appeared, and that it was just an illusion he used to paralyze his opponents.
Through the investigation just now, the demon determined that this existence has a soul that is far more powerful than the third-order mage that he has shown, but this is not enough to make him afraid, although he is not good at fighting, the demon still has the strength equivalent to a seventh-order mage, this kind of strength is enough to make him fearless when facing the other party, the key is the person behind the other party.
As the demon himself said, in this universe, there are very few spells that can directly harm pure souls, and wrapping a person's soul outside their own soul as a disguise is something that only the legendary gods can do. If he hadn't read about it in the notes of an incomplete ancient god, he wouldn't even have thought about it, and would have only come to the same conclusion as Carson, believing that the vast majority of people in this universe were like Carson, and had never even heard of such magic. Clearly, this pretender has the backing of a powerful being.
The demon thought quickly, calculating what he could ask for in order to achieve his goal without provoking the other party too much. He believed that the other party must have an extremely important purpose in entering a small mage tower in disguise, and as long as he could help him, then there was a high possibility that he would reach some kind of agreement with the other party.
"Listen," said Sarud, "I'm not going to get in your way, on the contrary, I can give you a lot of help in convincing Carson of who you are, and we may be able to make a deal." β
"Tell me about it. Rhaegar made a look of disinterest, knowing that this gesture could not hide from the cunning of the devil, but at least it would give him some initiative in the negotiations that were about to take place.
"Kalren Scepter. The demon said what he wanted, "That abominable scepter has my oath on it, and if you give it to me, I'll concoct a perfect reason to explain what happened to you, and that will dispel Carson's doubts, I think, it will help you." β
"Even without your help," Rhaegar said coldly, "I can still accomplish my purpose, and, if I can get the scepter, I can command you to do as I tell you." β
Sarud laughed, "My friend," he said, "I think you're underestimating the power of this mage tower. Carson is the true master of the thousand-year-old Storm God Mage Tower, with at least three hundred mages and ten times as many warriors, as well as a large number of puppets at his disposal, a force that can deter a demigod. Even with the support of a powerful being behind you, it can be extremely difficult to complete your mission here. But if you can truly gain Carson's trust, the situation will be completely different, as the only disciple and the only heir of the master of the Mage Tower, everything here will be yours, and whatever you want to do, you will get the most convenience. β
"As for the Callen Scepter," the treacher continued, "no one knows how to use this staff that has existed since the founding of the Storm God, and it will only be a waste in your hands. β
Rhaegar was silent, as if pondering Sarud's proposal, and the treacherous decided to put some more pressure on the other party.
"You know," said Sarud, "I come from the Demon Realm, which belongs to the Demons, and even in the days when the gods ruled the universe, their hands never reached there. The demon looked at Rhaeggar: "The Kalren Scepter can restrain me for another two hundred years at most, which may be long enough for a human, but for a demon, this is only a few minutes in life." If you refuse my offer, I'll have to tell Carson the truth about you, and then endure another two hundred years of this life, and even if there is some big man behind you, he will never be able to enter the Demon Realm to settle accounts with me. β
Rhaegar hesitated, as if hesitating.
"As you say," he said, "there is a great being behind me whose name I am inconvenient to mention, and I cannot make any agreement with you without his consent, and I need time." β
"One day," the demon who finally took the initiative smirked, "I believe that your master must have a unique channel of communication with you, and one day is enough." β
At the sound of the demon's laughter, ripples appeared from where he was standing and spread out in all directions. Sarud's figure in the magic circle faded and eventually disappeared into thin airβthe time limit for summoning had arrived.
