"How long are we going to stand here?" watched the demons scream and rush towards Alaye in the distance, although they knew that they had been summoned by the cheese, but the few of them still didn't feel well. This is also a normal thing, and demons are a very convenient creature for mages. They have intelligence, they can communicate, they have power, they can be entrusted with important tasks, they are so varied and selective, and the sacrifices they want can be adjusted according to them, and there are few things in the world that can be compared to them as servants. But that's just the caster's point of view, the wizard's point of view.

Wizards know a lot of things that ordinary people don't understand, those magics, those knowledges, those vital information that can make or break the situation. But they have paid a lot of costs for this, one of which is that they have lost the ability to understand the world as ordinary people, and when they plunge into the vast sea of knowledge, they forget how dangerous the things they are exposed to, whether they are good or bad, whether they are right or evil, they don't care, as long as these means and knowledge bring practical benefits, they can accept it. This indifferent scrutiny is what they call objectivity.

Objectivity has an advantage, when everyone is indulged in the right and wrong in front of them, and is forced to move forward by the chains that have shrouded their bodies since birth, objectivity can give them the opportunity to jump out of the chains to weigh the pros and cons. An objective wizard, even if he doesn't have a good grasp of magic, the difference in the way he thinks is enough to make him a prominent one.

It's just that keeping oneself in an objective way of thinking for a long time often leads people to fall into the other extreme of being bound by chains, extreme self-interest and therefore indifference to other things. This is a common problem among spellcasters, and it is the reason why they are disliked. Even if the personal interests of a wizard are temporarily the same as those of a certain group, a certain settlement, or even a certain country, they are not worthy of long-term trust.

Only such people will unscrupulously summon demons as their servants, they only care about their own convenience, and they are so arrogant that they think they can completely control the demons, ignoring the possible consequences of such a terrible summoning and the evil nature of the demons themselves. Demons are not creatures of this world, they have irrepressible malice towards everything in this world, and countless people have tried to prove that there are a few individuals in the demons who are not hostile to this world, and these people have failed in the end. Demons are called demons for a reason.

"It's time to leave, and then I just need to stay in the circle by myself. The mage said to his companions, the excitement of summoning the demon quickly dissipated after seeing the discomfort on their faces, "Sorry, this is the longest I can think of right now. Demons aren't a good thing, but they're good tools. I apologize for making you uncomfortable. ”

Lothar was the first to enter the circle, and the first to come out. He picked up the tomahawk from the ground and carried it to his shoulder, a slight roar ringing in his ears, but not strong. After he stopped, he turned his head to look at Batu behind him, and among all the people present, he was the most qualified to be dissatisfied with the cheese's approach, because the material used to summon the demon was the flesh and blood of his war horse.

"The great shaman of this tribe told me that wolves eat sheep, but if wolves don't eat sheep, sheep will gnaw away the grass. Those things, you call them demons, I think it's very apt. Scavenging maggots also grow out of flesh, which is not surprising because that's how maggots live. If maggots don't, the rotting meat can breed disease. If you don't summon these demons, we won't have more time to prepare. A scimitar can kill, but it can also be used to save people. I don't care if you're using a scimitar or a demon, as long as you're the one holding the hilt. ”

The mage pressed his right hand on his heart as a way to express his thoughts to the falconer. Cheese is not the kind of person who relies purely on objectivity to judge things, he was not many years ago, so even if he still follows practical principles to plan his actions, human favor is also a very important weight in the balance of his weight of things. He was glad to have Batuu's forgiveness, but on top of that, he had to take responsibility for making more efficient use of the precious time he had earned by summoning demons.

"Although the demon will block most of it for us, I'm afraid that something will slip through the net next. I'm going to use the rest of the materials for a long spell cast, and your job is to keep those fish out of the net. With that, Cheese began to silently chant the incantation against the bones and leather and other things that were piled on the other side. His companions looked at each other, but none of them understood what the so-called fish that slipped through the net was.

It wouldn't be long before they understood, as more dark shadows began to emerge behind Alei. A thunderous sound emanated from the dark shadows, reverberating in the ears.

"What are those? Did it have any of that around the last time you saw Aleigh?" Lothar waved his battle axe, narrowing his eyes trying to distinguish the shadows. As a result, he saw only limbs of unknown shape and oddly shaped outlines. The warrior's instincts made him feel great malice in those forms, and if there were no accidents, Cheese told them that they were the enemies.

"Those are—" The pupils of the cat fairy contracted, and there was a low tremor in his voice unconsciously, "Ah, yes, of course they will be here, these pests, how could they miss this feast?"

"I saw a lot of colours, and they didn't seem to come from the same source, they were more like they had gathered around Alei. Atta hesitated as she said that her fairy eyes could distinguish some of the characteristics of those dark shadows in a special visual way. It's just that in front of the numbers, the halos that symbolize different characteristics are all mixed together, and they can't be accurately identified at all.

"That's right, those things are all sorts of pests of the grasslands, skinskinners, witches, resentful spirits, and all sorts of things. They usually don't dare to move in the sun openly, so they can only hide in their burrows and pray for the sun to set. The people of the steppe have heard the stories of these pests since childhood, and therefore know how to deal with them, the skinned ones are afraid of the sun, the evil witches dare not approach the roosters, and the spirits cannot pass through the water... Even if there are some casualties, they cannot be unscrupulous on the grasslands, which is the role of the accumulated knowledge accumulated over generations. Kairaz whispered to the dark figures of the shadows, and his tone was filled with disdain.

"So, Aleiè is like a lion, and these guys are vultures and hyenas that follow the lion, right? The Count understood what his companion meant, and made a concluding remarks. Such situations are not uncommon, both in nature and in human society, and the speculators, the conformists, are often more unpleasant than the destroyers themselves.

"They want a piece of the pie, but today, they don't get anything. ”
