Chapter 280: Demons and Cultivation
"Hello, I want to check the information about the demon envoy, and I want to sign a demon contract with a little demon." At the library window, Green asks the librarian for materials.
The librarian is a bespectacled teenage girl with messy brown hair haphazardly tied into a ponytail. Hearing Green's inquiry, Miss Administrator looked up and thought about it.
"Fifth row, Magical Creature Bookshelf, Second Bookshelf, Third Row, "The Cultivation of Demons"; Bookshelves No. 3, Row 4 "Tanari Demon Cultivation Guide...... "Miss Librarian spoke out the names and locations of the books like a precise computer.
"Thank you~" Green thanked him and walked into the library.
The Royal Library is very large, and although it does not contain as many materials as the Royal Library, it is one of the largest libraries in the Kingdom.
Soon, Green found the bookshelf according to the location provided by Miss Librarian.
Green searched the shelves.
"I only found the "Demon Cultivation", and the "Tanari Demon Cultivation Guide" seems to have been borrowed?" Green looked at the openings on the shelves, blinked, and turned to look at the library's reading area.
In the reading area, many teenagers and girls are sitting there, reading quietly.
"It seems that the information related to demons has been very hot lately." Green sighed, walked to the reading area with "The Cultivation of the Demon", found a place, and began to read.
"The Cultivation of Demons" is a book that introduces the cultivation of various demons, mainly creatures from the main plane, but there are also some materials about creatures from other planes.
The Mage's "Demon Messenger" is a special creature that has been transformed through a contract.
As a demon-wielding creature, it must be a creature with an incomplete will, and after making a contract, the demon-making will have child-level wisdom and be able to complete some simple tasks assigned by the mage.
There is also a special spiritual connection between the demon and the mage, through which the mage can share the demon's perception and vision, and can even control the demon's body and use the demon to carry out some reconnaissance work. If the contract is made with a magical creature, the mage will also be able to share some special buffs from the demon!
The above are the benefits of demonization, but in addition to the benefits, there is also a disadvantage of demonization: because there is a certain spiritual connection between the demon and the mage, and they share a part of the magic power, once the demon dies, the mage will also be greatly affected - the stronger the demon, the greater the impact.
And this also produces a paradox: even if the weak demon dies, it will not have much negative impact on the mage, but at the same time, the weak demon will not be able to provide much help to the mage, but will need the mage to provide a long-term mana maintenance contract; Powerful demon-casters can bring more benefits to the mage, but once the demon dies, the mage will also be severely damaged!
It's a dilemma.
In the case of demons, though, this problem is perfectly solved.
As a spirit body, the "real name" of the demon is, in a sense, the essence of the demon. As long as the real name remains, even if the temporary physical body is destroyed, it can be resurrected again - in a sense, the physical body is more like a doppelganger projection. Therefore, if you use a demon as a demon, you can avoid the negative effects of the demon's death to a large extent.
Green learned about the information on the contract with the demon in the library.
"To sign a demon contract, you first need to obtain its true name, then materialize its real name, purify the abyss aura on the demon's body, and then sign a contract with it......" Green touched his chin, "It feels like trouble." ”
"The Cultivation of Demons" does not introduce the specific way to do it, but only gives a general introduction to the relevant information of demons. Green reckoned that the specific cultivation method should be in another book, "A Guide to the Cultivation of Tanari Demons".
Green stood up and began to observe the people around him, studying what they were reading.
Soon, Green spotted a copy of the Tanari Demon Cultivation Guide on the table next to a certain girl.
It was a girl with long black hair, who looked very quiet, and her white fingers gently flipped through a book, and the "Tanari Demon Cultivation Guide" was placed on the table next to the girl.
"Hello, classmate, can you lend me this "Tanari Demon Cultivation Guide" to read it?" Green walked over and pointed to the book beside the girl.
The dark-haired girl looked up at Green: "......"
Seeing that the black-haired girl in front of him didn't speak for a long time, Green felt a little puzzled: "...... That, classmate? ”
“…… Are you Grimm who summoned the Demon Lord? The dark-haired girl spoke softly. The crisp sound is like a lark.
"Yes. Can you lend me a look at this book? I need to look up some information. Hearing that the other party knew him, Green breathed a sigh of relief.
Brunette Girl: "......"
Greene: "??? ”
Brunette: "Yes." ”
"Thank you." Green picked up the book the girl hadn't read from the table and sat down next to him.
The girl stared at Green for a long time.
Green felt a little wrong......
"What's the matter?" Green looked at the strange dark-haired girl in front of her.
Girl: "......"
Greene: "......"
After half a ring, the girl spoke slowly, "I'm Margaret Berry." ”
The surname Berry ...... I see, is it a member of the Prime Minister's family?
Greene: "Hello, Ms. Berry. ”
Green could see that the girl in front of her was silent for a while before speaking. I just don't know if it's because of the curse or whatever.
The girl was silent for a long time, and then spoke again, "Just call me Margaret." ”
"Well, okay, Margaret." "What's the matter?" ”
The girl was silent for a while: "Do you plan to transform the succubus in your hand?" ”
"No, that's what I'm going to make." Green took out a sealing crystal, "This is a little demon I just summoned. I'm going to make it a demon. ”
The girl was silent for a while, and then took out a crystal: "...... It's a little bad demon I've summoned, and I'm learning how to use it. ”
"I see." Green thought for a moment, "Are you going to work with me?" ”
Girl: "...... The separation between the main plane and the outer plane has been hundreds of years, and everyone is very unfamiliar with demon-related knowledge, and even professors may not know more than we do. So I want to be able to work with you and learn from each other. ”
"Very happily." That's a good thing. Green is also confused about a lot of things now, and he is very happy to be able to cooperate with other interested students.
Hearing Green's words, the girl smiled slightly.
"Hmm...... By the way, can I ask a slightly rude question? Green couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and said, "Why do you have to be silent for so long every time you speak?" ”
The girl was silent for a while: "...... Before I speak, I think about how to speak, whether I should say that, and by the time I think about how to speak, a long time has passed. ”
"I see." Isn't it a curse...... 8)
