"First, they can't do anything that endangers my life. Not only the direct use of force, but also the borrowing of other people's hands, and the fact that I cannot spread my secrets. "As for the second one, they must help me when my life is threatened. In this regard, they have to put in at least as much effort as they do to help the people they cherish, such as their parents, siblings, and the best friends they really value. ”

"The third is that they have to be extra responsible for educating me, including sharing experiences and training in martial arts. I can't be less important than cultivating a true heir. ”

Fras couldn't wait to ask Audrey about them.

"His conditions are not excessive, what do you think?"

"If that's all there is to it, I agree to this monkey's request. ”

"Even if it's an insult, you can't think too much about the current situation, the situation is stronger than people. ”

"I'm going to be very strict with him. ”

The three beauties who were tied to the chair gave affirmative replies one after another.

"That's your business now. Fras said to Richard again, in a very anxious tone, "Tell them that soon, I won't be able to support it." ”

"Actually, it's not that difficult. Richard did not doubt him, "The sacrifice of the gods is actually not so troublesome at all. What a virgin's heart, a dragon's head, all deceive. What really works is the magic that is implicit in these rituals. ”

He also gave an example.

"Like Brother Yang's sacrifice, what really works is the dance in advance. The directions, the dates, the fasting, and even the extra step of contributing to the dragon's skull are all unnecessary. Richard pointed to the stone slab behind him, "They dance to the end, and they will join hands to create this six-pointed star pattern, and several of them have bodies that resemble elemental stones, which correspond to the depressions on the slate. ”

"This can't be!" Audrey retorted, "if you do what you say, then aren't these sacrifices tantamount to a kind of magic that can be mastered by man?"

Her Royal Highness saw Richard pointing to the wheal tentacles above his head, which was the god of thieves himself.

Actions speak louder than words.

The black-haired beauty was silent with a face full of astonishment.

Diana and Heloise on the side were also immersed in shock.

"It's not a big deal to find this. Enjoying their amazed gazes, Richard was a little fluttering, "I just did a little bit of work......

"You said you found it yourself?" Diana, the red-haired beauty, picked up the topic, "By the way, I remember that Lord Fras mentioned earlier, 'Why did you find out this secret?'" ”

She looked at Levi with each other, "I didn't expect you to be so despicable, you can't treat women as a gentleman, I didn't expect you to like to lie." ”

Richard was very unhappy to hear this.

"Why did I lie, it's me. ”

"Whoever can do such a thing is only a great magician. Diana kept asking, "Only these people who have insight into the truth of magic can grasp this kind of secret." But I don't believe that such a person would owe people rent, and do such a strange thing as digging a pit and burying an apostle, so that people can know that you are a fool at a glance......"

Before she could finish her sentence, Fras suddenly spoke.

"Boy, this must be explained clearly, otherwise the effect of the contract will be greatly reduced. ”

"Who says you have to know some magical truth to study this thing?" Richard immediately retorted when he heard Fras's words, "I tell you clearly, I know basically nothing about magic, and I still found this thing." ”

Richard looked at the other side and burst into laughter, and he was also angry.

"I don't really know magic, although what I've done seems to be exactly what it is. Can't you study magic if you don't know it?"

The laughter was louder.

"Do you have a problem with your head?"

"If someone else told you, you might as well just say it, why bother?"

"Yes, yes. ”

After Diana's taunt, Audrey was also persuasive, but it sounded like a song and a harmony.

Although Heloise on the side didn't say a word, she looked at Richard with a little disdain in her eyes.

"You remember, I use the black box method!"

Richard was ridiculed by them, and his anger surged, "I don't understand the sacrifice, and I don't understand how it works, so I treat it as a closed black box, I can't see the situation inside, and the size is constantly changing, you can also imagine it as a black house, a black forest, a black mountain, a black river, anyway, it doesn't matter." The important thing is that not knowing what is going on in it does not mean that you are powerless against these black things. It can be explored indirectly by studying its inputs and outputs!"

Richard paused for a moment and continued to retort.

"Input, is to give some stimulation to the black box. Then look at the black box that can't see clearly, and how it reacts to the stimulus. For example, if I throw an apple into it, if it comes out of the box with an extra tooth mark on it, then I can suspect that there is a person hidden in it. ”

Audrey and Diana stopped talking now, and their smiles faded.

"Then, along these lines, I carefully studied those sacrifices of the Church of Light. Their group basically held a fast every seven days, and each time they sacrificed, and the content was very different. Richard was very detailed, he wanted to let the women know how stupid they were, "but I found that some of those sacrificial rituals were almost fixed, and that's why I got the idea to study them." Combined with a variety of books describing sacrifices, such as nonsensical knightly novels. ”

Richard said loudly, "Sacrifice, I'm afraid there are two kinds of input stimulation. One is the effective stimulus, which are all kinds of magic hidden inside. At the end of each sacrifice, they must change. When the same god is sacrificed, it must also appear. The other is an ineffective stimulus, which is all about showing the gods your sincerity, and the so-called sincerity of the heart is the spirit. ”

He laughed.

"After that, I focused on all kinds of effective stimuli. Suddenly, I found that some things in it were interchangeable, such as dancing or something, which was basically linked to the magic array. Richard then added, "The man holding hands is just another version of the formation." Many depictions of sacrifices also point to this relationship. ”

"What you say is true?" Audrey was incredulous, "but sacrifice and magic are never the same, how can the four elements be equal to the gods?"

"Of course it's different, the gods have their own will. Richard proudly explained, "That's why there are those complicated rituals of sincerity and spirituality. God must feel that you respect Him, or He will ignore you. In the case of those gods whose devotees are huge, the latter ritual is almost a must, and this is pomp. ”

Paused again, "But what god doesn't pay attention to these ineffective stimuli." Of course, it's Brother Yang, and the bald bird, which has long been forgotten. Because of their predicament, they may need the help of us mortals. And so you were planted by me. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Fras's tentacles left their foreheads.

"Congratulations, the contract has been made. In mid-air, the restored Fras looked at Richard with a grin, and suddenly his face turned cold, "You're lying to me again." You said to me at the time that you found the secret of the sacrifice by accident. ”

"Damn, you yin me. ”

Richard suddenly thought of something, he looked at Audrey and the others tied to the chair, "You asked me to make a contract, didn't you ask me to tell them this secret so that they could summon you too?"

"It's so smooth, I didn't expect them to be so knowledgeable, and you are so cooperative. The king of black sheep, Fras, pinched his goatee, "No way, the dominance of the sacrifice is in your hands, if you want me to disappear, I have to disappear." ”

He laughed, "I don't think you'll survive this time. ”

Seeing that he acquiesced, Richard pointed to the god of thieves, "I thought that a bald bird with such a loyal appearance could not be believed. I didn't expect that you, a thief with eyebrows and rat eyes, are still full of calculations. ”

"A word of advice to you, it looks like a good person, but it may indeed be different. But if you are cunning on the outside, you have to be good on the inside?" Fras's body exploded again, and his voice gradually decreased, "The matter of the contract is indeed true, and I hope that the person who summons me next time will still be you." Goodbye, Richard......"

When he disappeared completely, Richard was still immersed in surprise.

What is called capsizing in the gutter, he understood it at this moment.

There was silence for a long time, and suddenly a voice reached the cellar.

"Richard, you're in the cellar, I'm coming straight in......"
