"I've been thinking about your idea for a long time, but I still find it hard to understand. Still, I wish you success. ”

Yan Rui nodded, accepting Feige Hall's kindness. His inability to understand this was not unexpected by Yan Rui, after all, the idea of how to "handle" Midnight came from Yan Rui's knowledge on Earth.

Ghost cats can't be domesticated from cub age, and they can't be raised by humans alone—Yan Rui doesn't believe that. But there's a proverb that goes like this: if a few people say you're wrong, you're probably right, and if everybody says you're wrong, you'd better go back and think about whether you're really right.

He had a good plan, to use spells and soul consumption to keep him alive at midnight, and then wait until the snow melted in the spring, and go into the mountains to catch the lactating ghost cat, and use her milk to feed his kitten so that it could grow. It sounds like a logical plan, but it has a lot of problems with its implementation.

In the accounts of ghost cats, it is mentioned that this creature is very territorial. This is great when used to help owners protect their homes, but it also means that it is difficult to have a second litter near a litter of ghost cats. If you want to find other ghost cats, you have to go further west, farther and more wild in the Sunset Mountains, and the danger and failure rate will increase exponentially.

Ghost cats have a long lifespan and are not in a hurry to give birth, and they only conceive once in about five years, and the lactation period is only one year, which of course will lead to a continuous decline in the success rate of the whole program. Besides, what if you find it? Catching the live ghost cat back to the castle is basically an impossible task. Feige is a person, and it is impossible to become a ghost cat staring, so there is only one option left for Midnight alone to the new ghost cat family. Are ghost cats benevolent creatures, is it possible to take over Midnight?

Good intentions should not be confused with unrealistic fantasies, at least there should be a backup plan.

So Feige didn't stop trying to find a second way out, and he came up with a concept that is very popular in various games on Earth: magical pets. Midnight's life has been bound to Feiqi's mana and soul, and the body has become its only drag, so why not go one step further and let it completely get rid of the shackles of the body.

At least you don't have to continue to suffer.

The alchemy knowledge inherited from Feige Hall, the devil's contract learned from the Fork of the Road, the goddess's enhancement ritual, and the vitality transfer ritual using blood in the Silver Seal Spell Book should be able to achieve the desired purpose. Now Midnight is continuing to suffer from the loss of her internal organs, and she can't wait any longer.

Since he couldn't get help from the devil, Yan Rui stood up and prepared to leave the halls of hell. Before leaving, he thought of the one who had just overtaken the merger. "Why didn't anything come out of the stable space turbulence this time? There was a Red Bull last time!"

Glancing by the way, there were two points that had stabilized in the countless fragments of space-time that swirled like a kaleidoscope in the room on the left. One is Red Bull on the table, and the other is half a notebook. He carefully identified it and found that it was the laptop he used in his previous life, the one that specially stored the test data in order to bring his work home! When he "died" in his previous life, this notebook was by his side, and it should not be far from the "corpse".

The merger of this fusion stabilized a portion of the notebook's space, which was about the size of a can of Red Bull. If more people are engaged in the merger, I don't know if they will continue to walk along this stable space, replace the computer first, or stabilize the next fragment randomly? If it is the latter, then he will not dare to take out his "remains" until the entire space is stabilized.

"Hope is the former, Goddess willing. "Yan Rui prayed to the goddess in Hell, and then returned to the earth, becoming Feiqi Snowman Icepeak.

The trip to Hell was short, and when he hurried back to the meditation room, Cale hadn't woken up yet, so he sat down and went through his thoughts from beginning to end, trying to take everything into account.

Midnight also seemed to understand what Feige was doing, or simply didn't want to bother him while he frowned. It struggled to move itself, crawling between Feige's crossed legs, wrapping its tail around itself and curling up in a ball. It didn't scream when it was in pain, it just trembled uncontrollably, and then barely survived with the mana and soul power provided by Feiqi.

Feige knew he couldn't wait any longer. He asked Old Man Kiplin to use the room for the Enhancement Ritual, and hoped to spend the rest of his time on less overduty and focus on solving the problem of midnight.

Snowy Owl immediately agreed. As a result, Kiprin and Kylie took on all the over-duty duties in order to relieve Feige of his burden. "That's what we did when you didn't come to Ice Peak Fortress. The old man's smiling expression was full of ease, "We are all familiar with these jobs, you don't have to worry." ”

Although this was true, Feige knew that the old man was more of a good person and did not explain the whole situation. Every year, the old man gets older and his energy is declining, how can he measure the present by the original standard?And this year, the Ice Peak Fortress has been attacked, and Caeled needs to spend more energy arranging the castle's defenses, and there are more duty tasks. It was true that the mountains were closed with heavy snow outside, but the weather did not guarantee that they would not encounter a second sneak attack.

Old Man Kiplin and Instructor Kelie were undoubtedly more tired than before. Feige couldn't allow himself to waste any precious time, and he devoted himself to the midnight transformation ritual with 100% concentration and thinking. He barely lived in the library and did not come out, eating only a few mouthfuls of dry food for the march and drinking some water every day. When he needed to rest, he slashed himself, letting his body sleep in the mortal world, and his soul going to hell to continue thinking.

Sometimes a geist would break into the library, and all of them would be absorbed by him with a soul harvesting dagger and become a prayer invoker. He threw all these conjugators into stabilizing the spatial turbulence, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the space debris had a stable order! The laptop was finally available for use after he had invested six contender souls, which was the best news in recent times.

In addition to the fact that there is no power supply, only the remaining battery power......

Actually, it doesn't matter, for the time being, midnight is the most important. A week later, when the entire Icecrest Fortress was covered in snow and the new ground was being climbed out of the tower's second-floor windows, Feige decided to begin the Midnight Enhancement Ritual.

"Is this your enhancement ritual design, these runes don't make sense......" Old Man Kiplin looked at the ritual explanation Fitch gave him, and kept tugging at his white eyebrows. "Your own enhancement ritual design is very good, why does it look like a mess here at midnight? As far as I can understand, it is clearly not an enhancement, but a weakening. ”

"Yes, part of that is weakness. Fei Qi nodded and admitted: "The magic circle composed of thirty-six runes can't carry all the power I need, so I can only split one part to supplement the other, which is in line with the principle of ability exchange." It would be nice if there were an enhanced circle of seventy-two runes......"

"There are no seventy-two runes in the Sunset Mountains. Old man Kiprin sighed and said, "I don't understand the pattern of this circle, so I can't make any suggestions. But if you must use this, I can help you set it up. Alas, I don't understand this, and I don't understand the design of the circle that the cultists brought with me—maybe you can understand it. If your circle works correctly, then you'll have to figure out what the cultists are going to do, okay?"

"It is incumbent upon us. Feige nodded vigorously.

"The magic circle is easy to solve, what do you use to make enhancement potions? All transformations must have a base species, right?"

"Vitality Transfer Circle. I use my own blood to make potions. Feige preemptively said before the old man refused, "Please support me." I believe that there is no mistake in my design, and this path will work. I've also seriously considered other alternatives, but none of them are good. One of the most important aspects of the success of an augmentation ritual is the involvement of the person, just as I need to try to stay awake during the ritual and use meditation at the same time. Midnight didn't have that kind of manipulation, so I had to get involved, and the Vitality Transfer Ritual was the only way to go. ”

The old man shook his head and retorted, "It's evil to use blood to produce spell effects. ”

"Bordering on evil. Feige waved his hand: "I'll operate, I'll contribute my own blood, this is a sacrifice." To snatch the blood of other creatures, that is evil. It's essentially a ritual of transfer of vitality, and there's no difference. ”

The old man hesitated and finally reluctantly agreed. He wasn't worried about the cats, he was just worried that something would go wrong with the ritual and end up killing Feige. Believing that this was pure nonsense, Kelley presumably found two long wooden strips from Feige's firewood bedroom and began to carve Midnight and Feige's names on them, "just in case." Feige spat at him with Midnight, and then went to the ceremony room together.

In less than a month, Feige has been here twice. Last time, he was a little apprehensive, but this time he was unusually calm, probably because he was very confident in his research. He placed midnight in the center of the ritual circle, and he himself prepared the vitality transfer ritual at the same time.

If Old Man Kiprin compares the vitality transfer ritual in the Silver Seal Spell Book, he will find that the one used by Feiqi is not the original, and it has also been greatly changed. The devil's contract was secretly added so that Midnight would at least survive the ritual.

Midnight stared at Feige with a pair of big eyes, stuck out his tongue and licked his nose, then fell down obediently. Through the Devil's Soul Conversation ability and direct communication with it, a new Devil's Pact has been generated. Mother Midnight's contract with Fitch will be abolished, and in its place will be replaced by Fitch's direct contract with Midnight. In this contract, Feige strengthens his life-to-life connection with Midnight, while increasing his emotional and spiritual connection. He will use his soul and magical powers to replace the material ingredients needed for Midnight growth.

To put it simply, he wants to use this devil's contract and the ritual of demon reform to turn Midnight into his own demonic pet.
