“...... Anti-mages who practice this meditation need to torture humans and souls countless times to observe despair, and in this way complete the promotion of souls. This process needs to be done by yourself, and the finished human negative energy has no effect, and can only be used to cast spells. ”

Adam couldn't understand this way of promotion, using the despair of others to promote his own soul?

Master Black was only a brief introduction, he had no interest in elaborating on it, and if an apprentice who practiced this meditation method was encountered by a formal mage, he would inevitably be killed, because it affected the very foundation of the mage plane.

But that's another story.

The two returned to Bran Town, Mage Black's rescue mission has ended here, the apprentices and townspeople have been affected by the negative energy and fell into a coma, there must be a part of the fragile soul that will not be able to resist self-denial and die, but Mage Blake can do nothing about it, he is not a mage who specializes in the power of souls, and this level of casualties is allowed.

In the final analysis, it is because of the disconnection between supply and demand, and the mages do not rely on the support and support of ordinary people to maintain their rule, and naturally they don't care too much about the life and death of ordinary people, anyway, no matter how dissatisfied ordinary people are, they don't have the ability to overthrow the rule of mages.

Adam didn't care about their life or death, first, the souls derived from artificial intelligence did not include themselves in the family of humans, and second, ordinary people had a very low role for Adam, and neither strength nor intelligence could help him.

Suddenly, the balloon floated from Adam's hand and began to absorb the remaining negative energy on its own, with the balloon as the center, and people kept getting up in a daze.

The apprentices were the first to go, and Zach and Thomas stood aside after bowing respectfully to Master Black, they had a lot to ask, but they also knew that now was not the time.

The same is true for William, and when he finds out that Ruili has not returned to Bran, he knows that Ruili must be more than lucky, but he doesn't know if it was Adam's hand or the anti-mage who killed her.

But not everyone knows each other like this, Terry's last thought is still at the moment when Adam's fireball is about to hit Ruili, he wakes up and anxiously looks around for Ruili, and finally finds the body of a girl lying quietly outside the town, he rushes out of the city like crazy and stops a few meters away from Ruili's body, and then walks towards her cautiously step by step, and says softly: "Ruili, wake up, don't sleep, Master Mage has come, we are safe......"

No one cared about Terry's movements, and everyone's eyes were drawn to the balloon.

In front of Adam, the balloon rapidly expanded and contracted, and Adam realized that the devil was about to be born, and hurriedly cut his finger and carved the master-servant contract upwards.

Master Black shook his head and said to Adam, "The devil will not accept the contract of master and servant, you need to make a fair contract with it, otherwise the devil would rather destroy himself than be born......"

However, before his words could be completely settled, he saw that the master-servant contract was completely dissatisfied with the entire sphere, and then the balloon contracted inward to the extreme, and then exploded.

In the devil race, powerful individuals trade with transcendents, and weak individuals trade with ordinary lives, the purpose of this transaction is to obtain souls and various emotions to complete their own growth, and the premise of the transaction is that the devil is stronger than the object of the trade, otherwise the transaction cannot be concluded. And the negative energy that remained in the minds of these weak Bran townsfolk was just the right thing to provide the nutrients that the devil hatchling in Adam's hands needed for the final growth.

Again, it's a deal.

The devil was born.

They don't have a fixed appearance, or they are not flesh and blood, but a life of will.

They have wonderful natural skills, and after coming into contact with a life, they will keenly feel the preferences of the other person's heart, so as to adjust themselves to the most relatable and seductive appearance.

Just like now, the newborn devils are different in the eyes of everyone, but they are all beautiful, and they can't help but approach the devil.

Terry returns to the town with Ruili's corpse, Ruili is his lover, and they once agreed to never be separated for the rest of their lives, and they will walk the path of mages together, but all this is ruined by Adam, and Terry is determined to avenge Ruili, even if it costs with his life.

But the moment he looked up, he found Ruili standing in front of Adam intact, beckoning to him with a smile, and Terry's eyes bloomed with infinite surprise: "Ruili! You're not dead, great, great!"

He burst out with incredible speed, rushed to the devil in an instant, and rushed towards it.

Mage Black could have stopped it, but he didn't, because the devil wouldn't kill any spirit beings directly, and Adam could have stopped it, but he didn't, because Adam wanted to see what would happen next.

"Is it just the devil? Not necessarily, after all, it once had the shell of the abyss, and it had devoured countless flesh and blood. ”

The newborn devil is still very ignorant, in its thinking, Adam is the master, the mage Blake is the strong man who cannot be provoked, and the rest is just food. In its mind, there are two wills intertwined, one belonging to the devil, telling it not to eat people like this, and the other belonging to the abyssal creature, telling it to be hungry, hungry, to eat, to eat.

The devil looked at his master and timidly asked Adam, what should I do?

Adam said nothing that the devil's next choice was his laissez-faire purpose.

The devil's reason overcame the chaotic minds of the creatures of the abyss, and the newborn devil chose to spare Terry, and decided in his heart that if there was another ......

Terry threw himself into the air and said to himself unwillingly: "Ruili, you are naughty again, don't move, go back to the academy with me." As he spoke, he hugged 'Ruili' again. This time Terry succeeded, he hugged 'Ruili', and the feeling of warmth and softness was the same as before, and he reveled, "It's good that you're still alive." ”

Something terrible happened, in the senses of Adam and Master Black, the devil did not have a concrete form, but a mass of chaos, and when Terry came into contact with the devil for the second time, chaos opened its mouth and swallowed Terry into his mouth.

The two of them clearly saw the process of Terry being chewed into meat foam and digested, and at the same time, the devil's natural skills were suspended, and everyone woke up from the illusion, and they also saw this scene, and they all looked at Adam with great horror.

The devil eats people very quickly, swallowing them up after a few bites, and then it comes to Adam like a little beast that has done something wrong, and prostrates itself, as if waiting for Adam's punishment for him.

Adam bowed slightly to Master Blake and said, "Dear Master Blake, I am sorry, I am willing to pay compensation to the Academy for this. ”

Mage Black just waved his hand lightly and said, "It's not your fault, everyone has to pay for their stupidity, but compensation is still needed, and you can negotiate with the enforcers yourself after returning to the academy." ”

Compared with the life of an insignificant apprentice, in the eyes of Master Black, Adam's contract creature made him more curious, Master Black had never seen the offspring of the mating of the devil and the creatures of the abyss, because this was theoretically untenable, how could the life of the will mate with the life of flesh and blood?

Mage Black suddenly said, "Adam, if you are willing to transfer this devil to me, I will pay the price that will make you happy." ”

Adam was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the mage to make such a request, he muttered and replied, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I don't have this idea for the time being. ”

Mage Blake didn't care either, it was just a moment of curiosity, after all, he was an orthodox air elemental mage, and he didn't have a deep understanding of the life and soul of the heterogeneous plane, so it didn't matter if he couldn't get it.

When Zach and Thomas saw Adam communicating with the official mage so calmly, their hearts were even more jealous of him, they had never seen an apprentice worthy of such attention from the official mage, and they couldn't help but be glad that they had never offended Adam.

Once again, William felt the chill to his bones, he was still haunted by the deaths of Terry and Ruili, and less than a year of apprenticeship could not change his preconceived notions.

......

A few days later, they returned to the academy, Mage Black left, and William said goodbye to Adam and went to the mission hall to settle the payment, Adam was not interested in the few magic stones in the reward, paid a meager compensation and returned to the laboratory alone.

In the academy, the rookies were busy, preparing for the trial, and the disappearance of the two apprentices did not make any waves, in fact, people kept dying during this period of time.

The law of the jungle of survival of the fittest, even if it is whitewashed by civilization, cannot shake its position.

James and Frank were still building meditation methods in the lab, and they were probably the hardest working people in the academy except for rookies, after all, they weren't young anymore.

The two didn't expect Adam, who had come out of the mission, to come back so soon, and greeted in amazement: "Adam, you completed the mission so quickly?" The appearance of the anti-mage did not reach the ears of the two, and Adam had no interest in explaining, just nodded to the two and turned back to his room.

The two of them were also accustomed to Adam's indifference, and no longer bothered him, each doing his own thing.

Adame sat in his chair and released the devil he had gathered in a thread, and the devil was dissatisfied with the small space, and when he appeared, he complained to Adam, "Master, I hate that place, it's too small for me to turn over." ”

Adam was stunned, a few days ago the devil could only send out a vague will, but now: "You have learned our language?"

The devil said proudly: "Of course, language is only the most superficial way for a race to express its will, I am naturally receptive to all kinds of information and desires, and it is not difficult for me to learn a language. ”
