Chapter Seventy-One: I Call It a Warlock
The basement of the Karazan Mage Tower has been a forbidden place since Aynan and Egwene moved in, and even a grand butler-like figure like Sloan can't enter the entire territory without permission.
To be honest, not being able to enter is also in line with Sloan's wishes, not that he is lazy, but that the place is too eerie and terrifying, and Sloanan will not go if he can.
Originally, Karazan's mage tower did not have a basement, it was the result of Ainan's spending a whole month at the expense of a lot of magic to cast space spells, for mages as long as the magic power is enough, anything is possible.
Entering the basement through the secret passage, you will be greeted by a hellish scene: countless strange-shaped corpses are suspended in the air by long ropes, swaying back and forth, and the basement is obviously windless but cold and biting, which is eerie and makes people get goosebumps.
When you enter the basement, something strange happens - the whole world falls upside down, upside down, reason tells you that you are going down, but your eyes give you the illusion that you are going up. Conflicting feelings clash in the brain, and with the ghost-like environment of this basement, no matter how thick the nerves are, people can't stand it.
If you go deeper into the basement, you will find that the hanging corpses are only a part, and there are many small hills about ten meters high, all of which are piled up with strangely shaped corpses.
Sloan had heard from Ainan that these strange-looking creatures were a race of demons that Ainan had gained after entering the Endless Void to fight the Burning Legion. This Burning Legion of demons has long made this world the target of their invasion, and is sharpening its knives to rush in and slaughter.
After learning the other party's purpose, Sloanan has no good feelings for demons at all, in fact, no one in his right mind will have a good sense of the race that wants to invade your homeland, kill your family, and destroy the world you are in. Ainan killed a large number of demons and experimented on their corpses, studying the demon race with Egwen, and Sloane didn't feel anything wrong with it.
It's just that there's no need to make the basement so scary.
Exactly why Ainan did this, Sloanan didn't know, from his senses, it was really not a good idea to make the basement look like an asura field, which was prohibitive.
Sloanan was a warrior, not a mage, otherwise he wouldn't have thought so.
The reason why Ainan wanted to make the basement like this was all for the sake of magic. If Sloane could take a look at the basement and see all of it, he would see that the horrible piles of corpses and hanging corpses in the basement made up an eerie pattern. If Sloane had a little more magic knowledge, he would have been able to tell that this strange pattern was actually a magic circle.
"Are you sure it can be done, they're demons."
In the deepest part of the basement, which was also the center of the entire magic array, Ainan was busy, and Egwene stood by with a thick look of doubt on his face.
It's not that Egwen doesn't believe in Ainan's ability, it's that what Ainan said is too unbelievable.
Is it stupid to use the power of demons to deal with demons, let demons kill each other and reap the benefits of human beings. No matter what Ainan thinks, Egwen is not optimistic about the feasibility of this matter anyway.
Other people's suspicions don't affect Ainan, even if this person is Egwen. As he continued to prepare for activating the magic array, he said, "Demons, like us humans, also have factions. The Burning Legion belongs to the madmen who want to destroy everything but destroy and kill, and satisfy their desire to destroy by killing. Some demons belong to the other category, they don't think that destruction is the best way to gain power, and by making contracts with other creatures, they will provide these creatures with certain abilities to help them fight in exchange for a shortcut to integrate into other worlds, and then get the opportunity to understand the law at the least cost. Demons like this, they don't care if they fight with their own people or not, as long as they can meet the conditions, they will help anyone. ”
In fact, it is a mercenary who takes money to do things, but the mercenary wants money, and the demon who accepts the contract wants opportunity.
The law is the power that can only be freely used by the gods, and even if it cannot be understood through the perception of the law, it will be of great help to the comprehension of power. With the increase of opportunities to comprehend the law, the comprehension of power will become deeper and deeper, and the strength will naturally increase.
Egwene was worthy of being a mage, and her brain was a good one, and she quickly grasped the point: "According to you, aren't the demons of the contract faction and the demons of the Burning Legion enemies?" Contract demons need to enter and exit various worlds, and the more worlds in the Endless Void with their standpoint, the more diverse the types, the more opportunities they have to comprehend the law, and the more types of laws, the more choices they will have. Isn't the Burning Legion digging into the corners of contract demons when they see one world destroying another, and making fewer and fewer worlds in the Endless Void? ”
Ainan smiled, Egwen deserved to be Egwen, what he said was understood by the female mage, and the female mage who didn't say it could guess it.
"You're right, that's why I'm looking for them."
Just the human race is fighting with the Burning Legion, and the other races are profiting, when the human race is wronged?
Just Azeroth resisted the Burning Legion, and the other worlds did not contribute, is there such a good thing?
Don't insult everyone's IQ, who is more stupid than anyone else in this world, it doesn't matter what other people think of Ainan, there is absolutely nothing like that in him.
Let me be cannon fodder?
Hmph, if you want to be beautiful, you have to be dragged into the water.
Adding the final touch to the circle, Ainan clapped his hands and retreated to Egwen's side: "Let's go, the summoning circle will be activated, I believe it won't be long before you can get in touch with the contract demon." ”
"Hopefully you'll succeed."
After Egwene finished speaking, he walked out first, it was not a good thing to summon demons, but under the threat of the Burning Legion, all external forces that could be used had to be used, even if this power came from demons.
"You don't have to worry about me doing things."
Ainan was very confident, he couldn't help but be confident, the information about the contract demon and the summoning circle in the basement all came from the godhead in his sea of knowledge, if even the message left by a true god was not accurate, there was not much in this world to believe.
Pushing open the door to the basement, Ainan saw Sloan leading the undead warriors waiting.
"My followers, while your strength is not weak, our enemies are stronger. As I am sure you all know, we are far from being their opponents now, so I have found ways for you to increase your power, and you will be the first to gain it. Ainan gestured to the basement behind him, "Just behind this door, a new spell-casting class will be born, which I will call Warlock to distinguish it from the current mage system." ”
