When the goblin Dasco opened the door, they were presented with a very small room, with many bookshelves placed in it, which looked neat, but the books on it were already covered with dust, and it looked like they hadn't been cleaned for a long time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared to the spotless outside, this room is a bit different.

However, the floor was relatively clean, and the narrow path in the middle of the bookshelves led everyone inside. At the very end, the bookshelf with the rungs in front of them slowly slid to the side, and a staircase that winded down appeared at their feet.

"It's cold!"

In Alice's eyes, such a dark and deep place is simply a hellish existence, but there is a very ominous aura coming out from the bottom, which has no effect on Pijay and Anne, but Alice, who is a light race, is not very comfortable.

On the contrary, Pije felt a rush of excitement for no reason. Neither as a Night Mage nor as a Glorious Flame Dog is afraid of the appearance of any terrifying and evil creature. In comparison, the suave priests and paladins in the Church of the Holy Light are more uncomfortable.

There was a circular confinement circle on the ground, and although the spells on it were a little worn, the symbols and order were very standard. It's a pity that this thing is not used in the primordial plane, and at most it can give psychological comfort.

Look forward along this circle—

"Annie......" Alice's legs trembled, and the flesh all over her body seemed to spasm, "What's that in front?" ”

A huge crystal ball with a diameter of three or four meters is placed on a shelf more than one meter high, and the whole thing is fixed with metal mesh, which looks quite solid. But even so, everyone could still feel the slightest vibration coming from it.

Around the crystal ball, a cloud of black evil qi was continuously generated, swirling and spreading, and disappeared less than three meters away from the crystal ball, but the ominous aura transmitted by the black qi was still spreading everywhere.

What scares Alice the most is the scene inside the crystal ball.

Numerous shadows overlapped, as if they were rushing wildly outside, and they seemed to be entangled with each other.

The shape of a huge face suddenly pressed to this side in the crystal ball, startling Alice not far away.

The face of a woman, with black mist spewing out of her eyes, her mouth wide open, facing the direction of the Duke of Oran, her expression was like mourning and anger.

The latter's expression was calm, as if he had long been surprised by this. The huge hideous face soon faded into the other shadows, and gradually dissipated.

"Who was that guy just now?" Anne asked, seemingly inadvertently.

"Dinah, a legendary witch, the strongest of the Dark Night Sect in the Principality of Jurs." Duke Oran's expression was strange, as if he had been seen through his heart, and finally couldn't help but add: "It's me who is sorry for her." ”

It's just a matter of being asleep, and even taking her life into it, no wonder this woman has such a powerful grudge. Looking at the intense aura emitted by these resentful spirits, everyone finally understood why this small building looked so strange.

"Annie, it's terrifying." Alice whispered, turning her head to look at the Duke of Oran, who seemed to be reminiscing about the past, "These are the souls you used to make a deal with the devil?" But they must have been handed over to the devil, so why are they still here? ”

"Because I was told by the devil that the fulfillment of the contract was made as the first condition for the fulfillment of my requirements."

Although a contract needs to be concluded by both parties, there are some things that need to be prioritized. Take the simplest contract as an example, "pay with one hand and deliver with the other", these two contents can be carried out at the same time.

However, this is not the case with the life contract, and the biggest difference is that the conditions for the contract are not met at the same time, so it must be sorted out in a different order.

The devil who signed a pact with Orlan is undoubtedly very trustworthy. Since the promise is to provide life until Oran voluntarily gives up and surrenders his soul, the devil will not reclaim his portion until the conditions on Orlan's side are fully met.

In other words, as long as Oran does not choose to give up his life, then the devil will not take these souls.

"It seems that the most rule-oriented is not their light race, but our dark night race." Pije, who was following the crowd, thought with a wicked taste.

Is it fair? On the surface, such a contract is very fair, and even seems to be tilted in favor of Oran.

But that doesn't seem to be the case.

"Because these souls have been branded with the traces of the devil's contract, there is no way to reincarnate, and they don't even have the power to be wiped out. They chased me from Atlantis all the way to the Primordial Plane. For the first few years, I spent my time in their endless harassment. ”

"Later, I tried everything I could, and finally put them all into the same soul orb, and everything was calm again. But in order to prevent the resentment from the orb from gathering too much, every once in a while, it is necessary to change the place to live......"

For the devils, playing with contracts is their forte.

In Atlantis, there was once a boring bard who wrote a nursery rhyme in which two lines were, "The goblin is a foot taller, and the devil is a foot taller." At first glance, it may sound like a reference to the difference in height between the two races, but in fact it is an allusion to their tricks of deception.

If you don't have gold, the ubiquitous goblin pawn shops will always be open for you, but once you go inside, multimillionaires will become millionaires, and sharecroppers will become slaves, and the level of exploitation can be seen. "Dumb people can wow, dwarfs can jump", the irony is these goblin bosses.

However, if you want to make a profitable deal, then the goblin pawn shop is of little use, and the easiest way is to make a contract with the devil. These guys, who have bottomless strength and have a lot of twists and turns in their heads, like to play long-term shots. and is the best at the doorway of the contract.

Some people say that if you want to make a contract with the devil, then every syllable they say, every stroke they write down, you have to see it clearly, think clearly, otherwise you don't know how you were toyed with in the end.

Compared with the goblins' petty fights, the devil's tricks are more superb and subtle, neither lacking pounds nor treachery, and even often making the other party feel that they have taken advantage, and finally there is a big plot reversal.

Unfortunately, these lessons have only been learned in the last few hundred years. In Orlan's time, perhaps the devil's cunning had not yet been so obvious, so this old guy with good strength was inexplicably played like this. Got it for hundreds of years.

It is not easy enough to survive under the double pressure of body and mind until now.
