A day earlier, Lucieu had complained to Grazt that the Demon Lord's dark castle was unfit for home.

Here's what she said:

"Husband, your taste is terrible! The castle was littered with slimy flesh and hair, the wailing and weeping of souls, bones and entrails everywhere. Husband, living in such a house will be easy to be psychopathic! ”

Grazter thought to himself, do I have you psychopathic! Of course, the words certainly can't say that. He pretended to be affectionate and asked, "Oh? What kind of place would Madame want to live. ”

"I want a house like this." Lucieu took out a sketch from nowhere, "Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming." ”

Grazter took the sketch and, like Gregory's first reaction, thought the house was worth a thousand ducats. The Demon Lord had money, and his treasury contained priceless magical creations, dazzling jewels, and powerful scrolls, with gold being the least valuable of them.

Lucie's next words made him fall into an ice cave.

She pointed to a hillside in the wasteland outside the dark castle and said, "I don't want to be too far away from you, so my lord must build the house there."

It has to be exactly the same as on the drawings, or ......" Lucieux dragged out the last note, but quickly laughed mischievously, "Otherwise... Forget it, I've never forced my husband to do something I don't want to do, right? ”

Hehe......

That's why Grazt turned to the creative mage Gregory, demons are good at destruction, but creation, especially miraculous creations, is the domain of mages.

Lord Gregory sat stunned by the words of the dark lord, and after confirming that the other party was not joking, he once again wiped his reading glasses and carefully studied the sketch of the villa.

"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible! ”

After a few breaths, the old mage made his final judgment. As we all know, there is no sun in the abyss, there is no sea. Even if we don't talk about the sun and the sea, the magma, poison gas, acid mist, and thugs there are as common as the dirt of the main plane.

Any flower planted in the abyss, no more than a minute will directly turn into charcoal, how can it be there in the spring flowers?

"That's why I'm looking for you!" Grazt's angry roar had a little bit of the prestige of the original demon maharaja. But soon, he remembered his current situation and wilted again, "Old friend, just help me and think of a way." No matter what the cost, it must be done. ”

"At what cost?" The old mage's eyes rolled, "Are you sure?" ”

"I'm sure!"

"Including signing a soul contract?"

"Including signing a soul contract!"

"Grazt, are you crazy?!" Old man Gregory was terrified.

The soul contract is just by the River Styx, and any life that signs the soul contract will lose everything and become a slave to the owner of the contract.

There is no way out of this contract other than to blow up the soul. Many demons would rather die than make this choice.

Not to mention the powerful and majestic Demon Lord Grazt!

"Master Grazt, since you mentioned the word friend, let me ask one more question." Old man Gregory asked carefully, "Why did you do this?" Is it for a seaside party in the abyss? ”

Grazter stared at the ceiling without saying a word, and after a long time, he said, "Gregory, enough, don't ask!" You won't believe me if I say it. ”

"If you don't tell me, how do you know I don't believe it."

"Well, if you can help me think of a way," said the demon in a low voice, bowing his head, "it is my wife, who wants a house facing the sea and spring blossoms." I had to satisfy her. ”

Gregory pursed his lips tightly, he thought the demon was talking nonsense. Everyone knows that the Lord of the Dark has a tower of swans, which imprisons the souls of nine thousand painful maidens.

These nine thousand innocent maidens were all wives of Grazt, who had been lured into the abyss by his vile means to endure eternal torment.

The way of this demon lord can be seen. How can you do whatever it takes for a woman.

This is not a romance novel!

Since the demon did not want to tell the truth, Gregory did not insist on it anymore, and besides, his own troubles were not small.

He stood up and paced back and forth with the sketch in his hand, like an anxious gambler.

"Grazt, to tell you the truth, I really need to make a lot of money, and this commission of yours is simply a gift from an angel!" The archmage was out of his mind, as long as he could repay his debts, a crazy idea popped into his mind, "But I can't do this work alone, how much money have you prepared?" ”

"My everything!"

"Good! That's it! I have a hunch that this will be a miracle of the abyss! ”

Creative mage Gregory's plan for the construction of a villa in spring is a four-step plan.

The first step is to build the sun.

Gregory used a Fire Elemental Lord, who was both a poker friend, to build a giant space-time portal between Fire Elemental and Ethereal City. It is difficult for these two outer planes to enter the space-time gate of the main plane, but it is not very difficult to open the door between the two.

The location of the fire elemental plane was originally neutral and evil, and there were many direct portals before the two planes.

In doing so, Gregory simulated the principle of the sun. This is a magical world, where the sun is not a star, but a projection of the entire fire elemental plane at a height of 10,000 feet.

Through the giant space-time gate of the fire elemental plane of this dark city, the abundant power of fire was continuously scattered on the slopes designated by Lucieu, so that the problem of the sun was solved.

In order to allow this huge space-time gate to operate in the air, Lord Gregory paid an additional floating stone. It's the work of the mages of Netheriel, and it's worth a hundred gold mountains!

The second step is to build the sea.

Master Gregory did the same, deciding to open a passage to the water elemental plane directly on the right ground, filling the nearby lowlands with a huge amount of water.

This time it was a water elemental lord who had a very bad relationship with him - and he was a poker friend. Unlike the fire elemental, the water elemental plane is biased towards kindness, and the lord is very sensitive to plans to open tunnels directly to the enemy's house.

"If the other lords knew that I was in cahoots with the Abyss, they would steal all my fish!"

These are the exact words of the Elemental Lord, she is a kind big water ball, the only drawback is that she is a bit vain and likes to decorate her fish with gorgeous jewelry.

Grazter paid so much for this that even the gods looked at him, and finally signed a bunch of non-invasive Styx pacts to finally convince the Water Polo Lady.

The third step is to build the environment. This step is the most important step, because the environment of the abyss is the biggest obstacle. The ubiquitous magma, poisonous gases and acid mist, scorching temperatures, and violent winds are enough to scorch anything good in an instant.

Master Gregory's solution is a common spell: environmental stability.

This is a low-level spell with two rings, and the caster can cast this useful little spell when they sometimes encounter particularly hostile conditions.

Ambient stability can form a locally stable environment with a radius of twenty feet and a duration of two hours, in which the temperature, air pressure, humidity, and air are no different from the normal conditions of the main plane.

Lord Gregory and the bigwigs of the Mage Academy spent two full months changing this two-ring spell into a twelve-ring miracle spell:

Eternal Spring in the City of Darkness!

The difficulty of this spell has reached the point of shaking the past and the present, and it is no longer a realm that any mage or even a god can touch.

In order to guide this spell, Grazt paid for it, Master Gregory came forward, and the bigwigs of the Mage Academy endorsed it, and they collected it from all planes and hired five thousand high-level spellcasters.

It took them a month, two hundred and forty-eight spell nodes, and seventeen sequences of distributed spell casting before they finally completed this miracle spell.

This spell even caused a tidal wave of magic power at the plane level, and in this abyss plane of the Black Lord, the magic power level plummeted by one level, and there were many demons, and I am afraid that the opportunity to advance would be permanently lost.

This spell completely changed the environment of the villa's location, a large area of land around it. The air is humid and the temperature is pleasant, and the rocky surface has turned into soft earth, and even the withered wind has turned into a gentle breeze.

The fourth step is to build the villa and garden. This step was thrown directly to the masons and gardeners, and it only cost a thousand gold coins anyway.

In this way, after four months, a beautiful beach house stood next to the abyssal hell, the dark city.

At the same time, of course, Grazt had lost his fortune and signed numerous contracts of arrears.

"Thank you for your generosity."

Gregory was satisfied with the remuneration and the contract into the dimensional bag, and as the chief engineer of the construction project, he was paid enough. not only solved his own debt crisis, but also enough for him to find thousands of succubus girls to be merry and happy.

He is now a real tyrant!

The old mage looked with emotion at the miraculous garden villas and the blue ocean in the abyss, and the warm sea breeze blew through the garden, making the delicate flowers slightly sparkling with dew.

This kind of ordinary beauty of the main plane is simply an incredible miracle in the abyss.

"What a luxury! It's just too extravagant! ”

A few of Gregory's fellow mages remained, and they were all very powerful mages. In addition to being a witness, it also served to deter Grazt from trying to repay his debts.

But now that the money is in the pocket, the mages' unique curiosity has come to haunt them.

"Great Demon Lord, congratulations on creating such a miracle in the Abyss. We are honored to be witnesses to miracles! ”

A mage bowed respectfully—the same respect he had for a tyrant—and then asked suspiciously, "But can Your Excellency clear us of some of our minor doubts?" For four months, this question has been entangled in our hearts and cannot be quelled. ”

Grazt stared at the casters with an unkind gaze, he knew what they wanted to ask, but he especially didn't want to answer the question.

This problem is worse than emptying his wallet.

The mage didn't see the Demon Lord's threatening eyes, and maybe he didn't really care if he did. Despite his apparent deference, everyone present knew that Grazt was a real pauper now!

The casters are all tyrants, and they have endless psychological advantages when facing the poor - even if the other party is a demon lord.

Therefore, the mage asked himself, "Your Excellency, why is it that you will build a seaside house in the abyss at all costs?" ”

There must be some earth-shattering conspiracy in this! This is the common idea of all the casters involved in the construction of the miracle.

In fact, they were all struck by Grazt's astonishing skill. The plot behind making this long-known abyss overlord bankrupt at all costs is not trivial!

I'm afraid I'm going to change this Io's sky!
