Rose asked for a large number of scrolls this time.

Even if he reduced the number of souls by selling the Hulk, he still had to pay Alec thousands of souls...... Ross certainly couldn't pay the bill with the Yankees. At this time, the United States had a large number of troops "peacekeeping" in Africa, and as a general, he had a large number of soldiers and many prisoners of war on his hands. And these prisoners of war are precisely the best people to be paid.

The next day.

A helicopter landed at the entrance of the Mutant Academy, and several soldiers disembarked from it and respectfully invited Alec onto the plane.

…………

Two months later.

After two months of busyness, Rose's scheduled scroll was almost finished, and Alec gave the scroll to Rose and was idle again.

He began the experiment again.

The spells involving the worldline were far more complicated than Alec had imagined, and he devised several spells in a row, all of which failed. Most spells can't even touch the worldline, let alone any verification, and a few spells successfully touch the worldline, but none of them can take effect. And Aggreko...... He didn't even know what the problem was.

Is there not enough energy?

Is the spell model unstable?

Is it a spell that creates a functional error?

Is the spell feedback failing?

……

There are so many reasons why a spell design can fail.

That's how the spell design got bogged down.

…………

Time passed imperceptibly, and one afternoon, Alec finally received a piece of good news.

In the Island City Prison, a Xiaoice Demon was born.

Alec rushed to the prison and ran into the room where the ice cores were kept, but he couldn't see the familiar ice demon.

"What's going on?"

A certain devil was disappointed.

The doppelganger is a continuation of the subject, so there is no possibility of deception, and Alec directly invoked the memory of the doppelganger, and then saw it...... Well, a palm-sized Xiaoice demon. Alec searched the room for a long time, but the Xiaoice Demon was well hidden and was never caught. Annoyed, the devil threw a ball of fire, baking a large hole in the ground.

A group of ice demons jumped out and fled in a panic.

The doppelganger calmly threw out the spell enchantment, blocking the way of the ice demons, and a group of Xiaoice demons threw out ice cubes and smashed them on the enchantment. Alec twisted up an ice demon with black lines on his head: "What I want is an ice demon mount, a mount!" What is the use of such a small ice demon other than being a pet? ”

The caught Xiaoice Demon trembled.

The Ice Demon, who was attacking the barrier, saw that his companion was caught, and he panicked all over the room.

The wisdom of these ice demons is not low.

Alec doesn't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, the ice demon's high intelligence means that he is malleable, but on the contrary, the ice demon's innate ability will be weakened - well, such a small ice demon, no matter how strong the talent is, it is useless. It's like ants, everyone knows that ants have great strength and can lift things that weigh a hundred times their weight, but they are always trampled flat by humans with little strength.

The Xiaoice Demon struggled for a while, but could not escape, it opened its mouth and shouted in a strange tone: "Put ~~I~~Next~~Come ~~!" ”

Alec's hand shook and he nearly threw the little thing out.

"Can you speak? Where did you learn that the tone is so weird? ”

The doppelganger calmly pointed to the opposite side, Alec looked back, and in the glass compartment opposite, a gray resentful spirit shouted in the same tone: "Put ~~I~~ out~~go~~!" ”

Alec: "......"

…………

With a few Xiaoice Demons, Alec returns to the Mutant Academy.

The Pocket Ice Demon is sought after by many women, and Jean unceremoniously took away two of them, one for himself and one for Auroro. Alec and Auroro hadn't spoken for a long time, and Raven's affair had caused a deep estrangement between the two, although now that Raven was dead, the estrangement between the two had not disappeared, but tended to get deeper and deeper.

Charles, who was in a wheelchair, appeared in front of Alec: "Alec, I want to talk to you. ”

Alec hesitated for a moment and followed.

After breaking through to the middle devil, he has a lot less fear of Charles, and the "Snooping of the Hell Lord" has a strong restraint effect on spiritual energy, and if Charles wants to use mind control against him, he is very sure that he will kill Charles with a spell before he is controlled.

Charles takes Alec into a secret room.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gage. Because of the contract, I can't use spiritual abilities on you, so I can only keep it secret in this primitive way. ”

Alec nodded, "Understood." ”

Charles said: "I specially called you over this time, I have a few questions, I want to ask Mr. Gage, I hope to get answers." ”

"You say."

"First, is the ice demon in your hand the ice demon raging in New York?"

Alec thought for a moment and replied, "Yes and no." ”

"Can you be specific? Mr. Gage. ”

"Ice Devils are a race, and from a racial point of view, they are no different from the Ice Devil in New York...... But if you look at it from another angle, they are completely different from the ice devil in New York. These newborn ice demons were cultivated by me, and compared to the ice demons in New York, their strength is weaker and their intelligence is higher. While that wasn't my intention, they're clearly better suited for pets than for combat. ”

Charles nodded, and asked with a smile: "That ice demon in New York, could it be that Mr. Gage cultivated?" ”

Alec sneered and replied, "Charles, do you know how hard it took me to kill that ice demon in New York?" Do you think that ice demon could have been cultivated by me? ”

Charles smiled and skipped the question.

"Then the second question, what do you think about my relationship with Nicole?"

Alec stared at Charles, with a faint flash of caution in his eyes: "There aren't many opinions yet...... However, if you do something bad, then my opinion is hard to predict. ”

Charles laughed dryly: "Mr. Gage misunderstood, I didn't reveal the idea of the two identities. Even during the time that Mr. Gage was away from the Academy, I kept my mouth shut, and of course I won't leak it out now. What I want to say to Alec is that Nicole is a very nice girl, and after I built trust with her and shared memories, I became even more convinced of that......"

Alec was a little impatient: "I have my own judgment. ”

"Anything else? If not, I'll go first. ”

Disappointment flashed across Charles' face.

"Nope."

Alec's figure vanished into the doorway.

It was only then that Nicole's petite figure emerged from the corner.

Charles was a little apologetic: "Nicole, he's more stubborn than I thought. ”

Nicole waved her hand, not careless: "I told you a long time ago that Alec is the most traditional devil, stubborn and calculating. Trying to change his mind is about as difficult as teaching a lion to eat vegetables instead......"
