It's not easy to get this scam done.

They had to fool almost everyone, including Antonio's apprentice, whose older apprentice had a father who was the leader of the slaughterhouse's guild, that is, one of the twelve councillors of the White Tower, and the other, arguably a big kid, who, although his father was only a liquor merchant, had bought a knightly title without a fief from Archduke Luzel with two-thirds of his fortune, and paid annual mead and gold in lieu of vassals, so he was not an unrepresented commoner in the White Tower.

Their families were not spared in the riots caused by the madness, one of them lost two sisters and their mother, and the other lost their newborn brother, nurse and cousin. Therefore, it was impossible for them to keep silent about this deception that was intended to clear their name, and Mage Antonio had not (or more accurately, he had not imagined) to sign a vicious and harsh magical pact like Delmon's mentor, and he had no means or means to restrain them except emotion, authority, and conscience - they must be completely excluded to be safest.

But this meant that all the materials and preliminary work needed to be prepared by Kerryben, Antonio, and Cremar, and the materials used to summon a demon were more and more complicated than the materials used to summon souls before, and some of the Antonio mages did not prepare, so the lich asked Keriben to "get" something from the "Cyclops". Marvelling at the wonder of discovering that he had theoretically done something evil and not being punished for it, Mage Antonio shook his head from side to side, sighed, and muttered the name of Beavis, apparently mistaking the dwarven fiery dwarf mage for some way of teaching the child badly.

"You can get the materials you need from me. Mage Antonio said, cocking his beard at the young caster, "I'll turn my back." ”

This lich didn't matter, but he did have to choose his spells very carefully, because he was going through two tough battles today - one against the devil and the other against humans, and the same was true for Mage Antonio, and his burden was even heavier, after all, the caster of the two summons was not Cremar but him.

"The question is that we should summon that devil. The Ranger pretended to be relaxed and asked, "I don't want to see a Demon Prince or Abyss Lord suddenly appear in the magic circle. ”

"A little devil," said Mage Antonio, rummaging through an old book of human vellum, "the weaker the better, and the whole spell is not about the power of the devil being summoned. ”

"Nicky. The lich said that he put a piece of a viper's tongue in his pocket, followed by a small bottle of honey.

"Nicky?"

"A little devil," said the lich.

"I know it's not a good time to get to the bottom of it," said Mage Antonio, "but tell me if Beavis repeated this spell?"

The lich nodded calmly.

"The galaxy is above," Mage Antonio nagged angrily, "he should know how dangerous this is!"

"It's as dangerous as we're doing now. The lich said, and the mage Antonio closed the book in despair, allowing the invisible servants to return it to its place.

"One more primary material," Carey said, "is a part of the body of the dead man." ”

Mage Antonio scratched at his beard in annoyance, he didn't expect them to steal this.

"This should work. The lich said, and he pulled out a mass of black thread, with long golden-brown threads interspersed between the outermost layers - Kerry Ben pulled a section: "Is it her hair?!"

"I picked it up from her clothes," said the former immortal, "and on the comb." The color and texture are fairly consistent, unless the contents of that box belong to another person, otherwise it's hers. ”

"According to Cremar's description," said Master Antonio, "we can try to make the devil change once we have succeeded in summoning him." ”

Kerry agreed, he had already been a thief once, and he didn't want to do it a second time, especially to disturb the sleep of the dead, which was a torture for the elves.

Demon tried on his clothes in front of a silver mirror of his height, a new robe, black double-sided silk with protective runes depicted on the inside, and gems on the legs, one of which when triggered was able to unleash a sharp ear.

"What do you think Antonio invited me for?" he asked in a self-muttering voice.

A gnawed finger bone was thrown out of the shadows above the silver mirror, nearly hitting Demon's nose if he hadn't dodged fast enough.

"Did he find any evidence, Asmodeos?" asked Dermon sternly, "Did you hear anything?"

And the little devil, who looked unusually harmless when he folded his wings and tail, bared his teeth in the darkness and shouted at him sharply and mockingly, "I am not your servant, Demon!", and it screamed, "You must pay me what you want me to tell you...... No, no, no, don't mention your magic, it's pitiful like a puddle of stinky water that can't even get wet on the soles of my feet compared to my previous master. ”

"But you have to live on this stinky water," Demont sneered, "like those little bugs that are messing around." ”

"You have made me weak," said Asmodeus hatefully, "to become incompetent—I cannot give you any news, unless you can give me more." ”

Demon touched the soul stone in the dark bag, the gem that imprisoned the soul, it was given to him by Demon's mentor before leaving, it was the only thing that could drive this little devil, and he had instructed Demon to use it only when necessary, so as not to have the power to leave Asmodeios.

"It despises you," said Demon's mentor, "and hates you, because you are not strong enough, at least not at all comparable to its previous master, so that as soon as you give it a chance to break away from you, it will be the first to pounce and tear you to pieces." ”

Demont touched the stones again, the stones used to imprison the soul were always cold, and the cold made his fingers stiff: "One piece." ”

"Three," said Asmodeos, "or get out of here." ”

"Two pieces. "Otherwise, I'll try to find out their intentions myself." ”

"Two pieces," Asmodeeos took a step back, and Dermon gave it first, and it immediately took it and hid it in its cheek pouch, "They are trying to summon the soul of the priest Flo." ”

"Lies," said Demont grimly, "the souls of Monroe and that Reverend Flo would not have appeared in the Mourning Wasteland—the Mentor would not have made such a ridiculous mistake. ”

"Try," said Asmodeus, "they are trying—they invite you to come just to bear witness, anyway, little Demon, you are now the Archon of the White Tower, aren't you?"

"Don't call me little Demon," Demont corrected angrily, but the next moment he became hesitant, "But you said they were going to ask me to be a witness, did they really summon the soul of Pastor Flo or Monroe?"

"Oo......oo They have been devoured, completely disappeared from this world, not even Rosada or Cranmo, they will find nothing but ashes and wind!

The little devil's screams and contempt made Dermon's face pale, but he could see that he was indeed relieved, and he took the soul stone from his pocket and threw it to Asmodeos, took two steps back, and tried not to let himself leave the basement in such a hurry.

"Nasty master, disgusting master, cowardly master, may you rest in peace soon...... After I'm free," Asmodeos tucked the second gem into his cheek pouch, muttering as the cheek pouches were finally balanced, "I need a stronger master, a smarter one, even if it's only half of my old master......"

It thought of Master Antonio, but unfortunately that stubborn and upright old man would never take a little devil as a pet, but it's not easy to say, look, he summoned the devil and let this devil do things for him.

Still, it thought, where did he get the name Nicky?

Nicky was the lowest of the devils, and his name was never recorded - only once did Asmodeus mention the little devil to his original master.

"Oh, I miss you so much," Asmodeos said sadly, poking his poisonous tail in the mirror, "I miss you so much, my true master. ”

"I'm so glad I can finally leave the White Tower. The two-headed viper said, its mouth wide open, and the venom dripping from the tips of its transparent teeth scorched the ground: "Except for the elves, there are fools." ”

"And Asmodeos. Its owner said.

"One of the idiots. ”

"It warns you," said Dermon's mentor, "don't try to deceive me," his smile made his pet curl up uncontrollably, "I know Asmodeos' name is older than you think, and I know that it is a clever and vicious helper—it is weakened only because it has found a less competent master, and it is stronger than you while it is still by its original master's side." ”

"Once," said the serpent's right head, "but since it was banished by its owner......"

"Not missing?"

"Not before," said the head on the left this time, "dereliction of duty, or betrayal, which is why it was forcibly expelled-but now its original owner is indeed missing, you know, there are several little devils waiting to fill Asmodeus's place, but they can't find him-master, three soul gems, thank you for your patronage." ”

"You are so shameless and cunning, my dear Animos. Demon's mentor said softly.

"You are not far behind, master. ”
