"Ah, it's really all liars in the novel, why can those protagonists bite their fingers without changing their faces, I use a knife to hurt it."

Merlin looked at his fingers that were still bleeding after signing the contract, and he frowned for fear of pain, and made a bitter face.

He brought his finger to his mouth, stuck out his tongue and licked it twice, and did a simple disinfection with saliva, and the wound stopped bleeding.

And the person who had already dripped blood began to spontaneously combust and was burned out little by little, which means that the contract has been accepted by the abyss and has begun to take effect from this moment on.

At the moment when the contract disappeared completely, Merlin really felt as if there was really an extra layer of connection in him, as if someone had tied an invisible thread to his body, and along with that connection, he raised his head and looked to the side.

Well, as soon as he looked up, he saw Alice, who was licking her fingers like a kitten with tears in her eyes.

The two who were also afraid of pain glanced at each other and smiled in unison, and they seemed to get closer to each other all of a sudden.

"Let's eat first."

Merlin returned to the table and sat down, patted the seat on his right, and invited Alice to say.

And this time the little girl did not refuse.

It's just that as soon as Alice sat down, Merlin heard her sister Cynthia's words.

"Uh, picked up a ghost?"

He glanced at Alice beside him suspiciously.

Well, the blonde little Lori also innocently opened her big eyes, and the little round face that still had a little baby fat was full of bewilderment.

"Sister, did you find anything?"

Merlin frowned and asked Cynthia.

He knew that Alice was not ordinary, and he didn't see that the pure golden soul that was comparable to the incarnation of a god was not something that ordinary people could have.

It's just that such a pure soul is so rare that very few records of this aspect have been handed down, and even the memory of the original owner of the occult 90 does not have much useful knowledge, and Merlin has found only a few fragments from it that tell that this kind of soul is very precious and rare.

Tsk, if you say it, you don't say it, the demon's instinct has already reminded Merlin last night, okay, he can have the kind of allure like a starving ghost seeing a delicious meal to him at the demon king level, which is naturally a good thing.

Therefore, Merlin had only thought of asking Alice to go to the study so that Cynthia could help take a look.

Although this ghost woman looks quite unreliable, she is also one of only seven people in the world with the title of sage.

The selection criteria for the sages of the Wizarding Guild are not only the ability to fight, but also the depth of knowledge that is more important.

After all, some witches who are born with awakened magic power, or wizards with special bloodlines, often have combat power that does not match the wizard level, especially a witch like Cynthia who is a witch with a special bloodline, and the combat power is simply like a hanging dragon Aotian, and the more level battles are commonplace.

However, after all, wizarding is a profession that can transform knowledge into power in the true sense, theoretically speaking, the more people who know, the more they can fight, and the wizards who can fight are not necessarily sages, but sages are definitely very capable of fighting, this can't be wrong.

Ahem, it's far away...

In short, if Cynthia can get the name of a sage, then she herself is definitely one of the most knowledgeable polymaths in the world, and since the original owner can't figure out what happened to Alice's soul in his memory, then he can only count on her as a cheap old lady.

It's just that Merlin was taken by this ghost woman in the study before, and she forgot to ask Alice about it, but now it seems that Cynthia really knows what Alice is special.

"Well, such a shining soul light is like a high-powered gas lamp, and I'm not blind, sister, it's hard not to notice."

Cynthia put down her knife and fork, crossed her fingers to support her chin, and looked at Merlin in a very oppressive pose.

Her originally turquoise pupils were dyed purple by magic in an instant, and the already bewitching witch's temperament became more mysterious and full of temptation at this time, even if she exuded an ominous and terrifying at the same time, but it was like a highly poisonous flower, and it still made people unable to take their eyes off.

However, Merlin's charm skills have reached 90, he completely ignores the charm of the witch, and for his sister who pretends to be a ghost, he silently pulls Alice in front of him.

"Ah, my eyes..."

Just like a high-beam dog driving across the car at night, Cynthia was hit, she rubbed her eyes uncomfortably, and her purple eyes returned to their normal turquoise color with tears.

"Brother, the older you get, the more boring you get."

Cynthia condemned with a bored expression.

"Get down to business."

Merlin was a little helpless.

Can't you be a sage a little majestic, obviously you are not like this in the memory of the original owner, thanks to the original owner has been a little afraid of you since childhood, and now the majesty of your sister in my heart has collapsed at all.

"The main thing is that brother, you picked up a natural god, and just now, you also used this god to willingly sign the devil's deed of sale and sell yourself to you, you are really good, snatching people from the hands of the gods, you really deserve to be my brother."

Cynthia propped her cheek on the side of her hand and looked at Merlin with proud eyes, while gloating a little.

Merlin: "......"

Hey, hey, can you please not say something so frivolously.

God, this Merlin knows, he found the information from the memory of the original owner.

Gods, simply put, are the chosen ones of God, the dependents of gods, and to put it more bluntly, that is, the gods' own sons and daughters.

Well, that's not nonsense.

In fact, there are also different types of gods, one is the most common kind of god who has made great contributions and has been blessed by the gods, and the other is born gods.

The people who are born gods are often the souls of the most devout believers in front of them carefully selected by the gods themselves from the kingdom of God, and then slowly cultivate and transform them with divine power at any cost, so that the weak soul has divinity and can carry divine power, and finally is sent to reincarnation by the gods themselves.

It's like in those myths, the unmarried virgin dreamed of a god, and then she became pregnant and gave birth to a god son, or stepped on an unknown footprint and became pregnant and gave birth to a child, and so on.

Although it is not the child of the god in the sense of blood, but at the soul level, the natural god is indeed the son and daughter of the god.

They are the most respected people in this world, the Holy Son, the Holy Maiden, and the human agents of the will of the gods.

When necessary, they can also call upon the power of God the Father or the Mother to come, and the special souls with divine nature allow them to carry the operation of great divine power, and they will be the embodiment of the gods on earth, gods on earth in the true sense of the word.

When he first met Alice before, Merlin had wondered if she was the embodiment of a god, but that incarnation was only a projection of pure divine power, and that thing was just a shadow of a god to put it bluntly, with only an empty shell, but no power in ten.

Although this is still very powerful for mortals, it is nothing in the eyes of the top level people on the ground, and when you meet a big man with a little temper, it may even become a story of God Slaughter.

Therefore, Merlin had only pretended to come to the air before.

But the real gods are different, even the most ordinary gods once they summon the gods to descend, then they have half the power of the true gods, which is enough to be on an equal footing with those peak combat power in the mainland.

And some of the extremely qualified gods can also accommodate more power, the most powerful god in history even summoned 9 percent of the divine power of the gods, although then because of the overwhelm and returned to the arms of the gods early, but the 9 percent power of a true god, this is enough to despise the entire continent, the real sense of the world invincible.

However, natural deities are very rare, because cultivating a natural deity is not a simple matter.

No matter how good the quality of a mortal's soul is, it can't directly bear divine power, just like you want a pigeon to swim like a fish, you can't do it at all.

Of course, you may say that it would be good to put the gills of a fish directly on the pigeon, simple and rude, and this god can indeed do it, which is the principle of the ordinary god after the meritorious service.

It's just that everyone knows that this kind of forcible external modification technology has sequelae, just like cloning technology or genetic modification engineering, although those acquired gods can also perform divine descent, but it is inefficient, and half of the blessing of divine power will be summoned if they die, and the duration is very short, and the cost is huge afterwards.

Usually speaking, it is a real man in five seconds, and he dies instantly when he finishes it, which can be called a one-time consumable.

It is the gods who patiently urge the pigeon to evolve on its own, let him adapt to the environment in the water little by little, and finally grow the most suitable gills for himself, so that he can breathe underwater.

That is, the mortal soul has divinity.

The difficulty of this can be imagined, it requires a huge amount of divine power and time, and ordinary gods really can't afford this, after all, the price of cultivating a god is enough to create a whole army of angels if you create a pure divine power creation like angels.

Thinking of the rarity of the innate gods, Merlin's hand holding a knife and fork trembled slightly at the dining table.

Using the demon contract to kidnap a natural god, this is also a great feat that few demons can accomplish in the entire abyss, even if Merlin really goes down to the abyss in the future, with this performance alone, he can become the most beautiful boy in the abyss, the real demon king.

"Whose deity is it?"

Although the gods who made the gods were certainly not weak, Merlin still mustered up the courage to ask again.

"Hehe......"

Cynthia smiled brightly at him.

"Look at this soul light that shines like the sun, who else could it be? The heavenly one, of course. ”

The witch pointed out the window of the dining room.

Outside the window, the vast red sun rises in the east, swaying endless light and heat towards the whole world.

"Bang dang...."

Merlin's knife and fork fell off completely.

Okay, this unprecedented achievement in the abyss, not to mention a little demon king, after he goes to hell in the future, the mother of the abyss will definitely be able to reward him as a demon god, and there will definitely be a place for him among the dark ministers of the endless plane.

Well, provided that he still has a soul to fall into the abyss by then.

"Ah, unfortunate."

Merlin looked up at the sky, but the bright sunlight could not bring him a trace of warmth, so he had to look down at the ground forty-five degrees, and then sighed in his heart.
