Chapter 157: Zhou Mi 158 Gotham City's new evil forces
The Seventy-Two Demon Gods, also known as the Seventy-Two Pillars of Solomon, are the seventy-two demons recorded in the first part of the book "Solomon's Key" (Ars Goetia) in the book "Raymond Guyton" in occultism, with their respective positions (commanders, dukes, marquises, counts, etc.), management teams, and their own seals (i.e., pillars), which are said to be summoned by people to gain power, assistance, or knowledge.
Some of the seventy-two demons resemble animals (crows, wolves, etc.), while others are more bizarre (e.g., biological hybrids). But there is always no distinction between good and evil, and there is also a demon and a god. The origin of the so-called "72 Pillars of Solomon" first appeared in an important demonological document, "Solomon's Little Key" (Lemegeton).
The oldest edition of the book is currently published, in the early 17th century; It is estimated that it was written before the French Revolution. According to the book, Solomon, the great sage king of Israel in the Bible (who reigned 961-922 BC in history), was also an excellent summoner of demons.
Legend has it that King Solomon made a pact with the demon king Berial, who was given the power to command all the demons of hell, and he used his magic ring to print on the necks of each demon and drive them to serve him. In return, he would dedicate his soul to Berial after his death.
It is said that among these demons, in addition to the seven kings of hell, the most powerful are the seventy-two princes and nobles of hell, the great demons known as the seventy-two demon kings of Solomon.
He wrote down all the spells he summoned, called "Solomon's Key", and contained many books, among which the most mysterious is "Solomon's Little Key". Here are the 72 Great Demons known as the "Heroic Spirits of Solomon".
Solomon sealed them in bottles and summoned them when they were useful, driving them to do things and add glory to the empire of Israel. However, after Solomon's death, the Babylonians invaded, and when they saw the bottle that sealed the demons, they thought it was a treasure, and they opened the bottle, and the great demons were released into the world. …… Their number is 72.
Looking at the information in his hand, Regulus Black made his own analysis.
With Harry Potter as a background of wizards, King Solomon is likely to be a very great wizard, and he is good at summoning, and is an excellent demon summoner.
However, Regulus Black has reservations about summoning, in his opinion, King Solomon is more like an alchemist, and he is famous for creating demons through alchemy, and those who say that he is a demon summoner are misunderstood.
The reason why King Solomon himself does not explain it is simply because of the huge difference in the guilt to be borne by the two.
One is to summon demons to drive, no matter what evil is done, it is a problem of demons, and King Solomon embodies only strength.
The other is that he made the demon himself, no matter what the demon did, it was his own responsibility, and because he could create the demon technology, he would be hostile or even peeped at.
Regulus Black's family is a family of dark wizards, and there is no limit to the use of all kinds of dark magic, so the whole family is fully committed to the field of dark magic.
Regulus Black, who grew up watching all kinds of experiments in dark magic, has long wanted to create his own demons, or low-level demon spirits, or make demons. However, until he died in the Black Lake and became a corpse, Regulus Black was not able to produce any results. In fact, the Black family's long-term experiments have never been successful.
However, the third life is a human being, and Regulus Black looks at the matter of summoning demons from another angle, and comes to a very simple conclusion, that is, because he does not understand demons, so he keeps summoning failures.
Just like summoning Heroic Spirits in the Holy Grail War, the summoner himself needs to have some knowledge of the Heroic Spirits to be summoned.
In terms of the demons summoned by King Solomon, summoning demons requires knowing the name of the demon, the form of the demon, the attributes of the demon, and the skills of the demon, in short, the more detailed the better, and then the final step, piling up sacrifices far beyond the summoning. Although it is a waste of money, it is like a local tyrant krypton, and if you spend more money, you will eventually have a chance to hit the krypton, how can you succeed if you don't have krypton! How can you get strong without spending money!
That's why King Solomon was able to summon 72 demons, because he was the king of a country, the keeper of the wealth of the country, he had money, leisure and time, and finally he was a wizard, and he happened to be good at the magic of demon summoning.
The result is that King Solomon, with money, time and luck, refined 72 demons, it is estimated that it is not that he does not want to refine more, but his imagination is already lacking, carefully look at the attributes and positions of the 72 demon gods, many of them are duplicated, and the number is more to think about in the minds of wizards at that time, that is, these abilities, rights, attributes, jobs and images.
Regulus Black doesn't need to summon demons like 72, but he uses 12 constellations as a model to summon demons.
It just so happened that an artist had drawn a demonic version of the 12 constellations, and Regulus Black used them directly.
Every seven days, Regulus Black personally visited the ranch from the time he took it back, inspecting the work and taking away the heads, entrails and water that had been sorted from the pasture.
In some remote areas of the United Kingdom, Regulus Black carefully set up a magic array, tons of sacrifices were piled on the magic array, and the bloody sacrifices became the best objects of alchemy, but the probability of failure was very high, and so far a Taurus demon has been successful, and the demon was sealed in place by Regulus Black afterwards.
The Taurus demon is 3 meters tall, its whole body is full of powerful muscles, and its anti-demon attribute is very high.
Although this Taurus demon was summoned, Regulus Black still lacked the means of control, and he didn't expect to be successful in summoning it, so the means of control were not prepared, but fortunately it was sealed in place, otherwise it would be a scourge wherever it was placed.
Today, Regulus Black summoned demons in a different place, although it was chosen randomly, but the choice was also preceded by a spell like 'show me the way', so when Regulus Black reached his destination with 'Phantom Shift', he found himself in a sheepfold.
