Chapter 18: Rituals

"There is no perfect plan in the world, and anyone who thinks like this is either megalomania or intellectually deficient. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Saying this, Mephistopheles also glanced at Monroe comfortingly, as if she was taking care of his emotions.

"My lord, I guess I just said that. ”

Monroe snorted coldly, squeezing a retort out from between his teeth.

Mephistopheles didn't have any intention of ignoring Monroe, he just didn't want to spend this time waiting boringly, and he didn't really want to teach the other party anything, it was the other party's luck to be able to listen to his own teachings, and it was his loss not to listen.

"Since there is no perfect plan, what are the criteria by which we judge a plan to be good or bad?"

"The size of the vulnerability, how easy is it to be discovered?"

"Stupid! The size of the so-called loopholes is relative, and a plan that seems flawless to you may be as full of holes as cut cheese in the eyes of others. Rather than pinning your hopes for the success of your plan on not being discovered by the other party, it is easier to go to the temple and pray for the protection of the gods. ”

"What is a good plan, according to your senses?"

As if irritated by the other party's condescending tone, Monroe asked unconvinced, wanting to hear the other party's "high opinion".

"The criterion for evaluating the quality of a plan should be unique, not changed by external factors, and this criterion should be linked to the success of the plan, otherwise it is meaningless. ”

"I don't know what the standard is for adults?"

"Fault tolerance. ”

"Fault Tolerance ......"

Monroe muttered, subconsciously puffing up his chest, the impatience on his face had all been subdued, replaced by a thoughtful look.

After thinking for a while, Monroe nodded, but soon he had new doubts: "How to achieve fault tolerance?"

"Of course, we have to make more follow-up response plans, otherwise what else?"

"Is it because you didn't design a follow-up remediation plan?"

"Yes, you've had many chances to get out of this contract, but unfortunately you didn't take it. ”

"A lot?"

"You also talked about the abyss breath just now, but why didn't you think about it before the contract was signed?

"You ......"

Even if things really turn out as I described to you, your fate will be extremely tragic. After all, if your father really died under the abyssal breath, then this matter will definitely not be hidden. And once it is associated with the word 'demon', what will happen to the Morte family that has lost its head of the family, I guess I don't need to describe it to you, right?"

"The other nobles will send us to the gallows, and then let the Temple take over the Morte Realm. However, there is no temple anymore, so ......"

"How could it not be, didn't I say that it really matters if your father converts to other gods as long as they need it, not to mention the existence of the Temple of Dawn...... How do you think you got caught?"

"It's not you ......"

"Of course not, although I have such intentions, but your father can be sure that you are the murderer, but he has nothing to do with me. ”

"How is that possible?"

"Nothing is impossible, and there are more magical things in the world than just what you see. I'm curious about the story behind the ring, but it's not a good time to explore. ”

"And how did my father escape this, and what is the credit of the ring?"

"No, I offered some small help in it. Besides, there is no calamity, don't you really think that it is the crystallization of the abyss aura?"

"Isn't it, I ......"

"Not all, it's just a remnant that has been neutralized by the breath of the undead. It's okay to kill a cat with such a thing, but it's ....... to kill a knight of the silver rank."

"Cat?" a look of clarity appeared on Monroe's face, "It turns out that you just want to scare him with the cat's fate, and then borrow his hand to kill me...... It's ironic that a knight would be frightened by the death of a cat. ”

"You should have more confidence in my skills. Until they drink it, no one will believe that this thing has no effect on humans who have developed a vindictive spirit, they will only think that the cat's fate is their own fate. ”

"Aren't you afraid that I'll confess everything to Falkstein at the time?"

"You wouldn't, you didn't guess at the time that I was ruining your plans. So you're still holding on to the luck mentality, after all, if you are associated with the word demon, you will definitely die. ”

"I shouldn't have had this kind of fluke mentality at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have ......."

"It's normal to have some luck in that situation, not to mention that with your character, you understand your situation, will you go to dismantle me?"

Mephistopheles asked with a smile, her bright eyes seemed to have caught all of Monroe's true thoughts.

"This ......"

Meng Luo's words froze, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them helplessly. Of course, he would not dismantle Mephistopheles' existence, even if he calculated himself.

It's not such a thing as compassion, it's just a state of mind that wants other people to be unlucky with you.

He didn't know exactly what Mephistopheles was planning to do, but it was clearly not going to be a good thing. If you can't get the title of earl, how can you accept it from others?

However, such an idea is not easy to resort to, so Monroe awkwardly diverted the topic: "Didn't you say that there are many times, when are the other opportunities?"

"Heh," Mephistopheles chuckled, and then said without hurrying, "pay attention to the terms of the contract, if you sacrifice me blood as soon as you sign the contract, then even if you fall to this step, I will not be able to take the ownership of your soul so easily." ”

"Damn, you didn't even tell me about the ritual of the blood sacrifice!"

"Have you asked?"

"What?"

"Whether it's the question of the crystallization of the abyssal breath or the question of the blood sacrifice, have you asked me?"

"You'll tell me if you ask?"

"No, at least I'll explain to you in order to keep the image of the demon. ”

"This works?"

"Of course, the more you talk, the more likely you are to make mistakes. That's why I set the terms so rudimentarily. In fact, it is not impossible to design a clause without loopholes, but the more complex the clause, the more you will think about it, which will make you hesitate to sign it, or even refuse to sign it. ”

"Only this kind of simple clause, which can even make you feel that you have a bargain, will you have blind spots and turn a blind eye to the murderous intentions inside. ”

"So, I don't have any remedies in place for the whole plan, on the one hand, your soul is really not important, and on the other hand, because I'm sure you can't jump out of my layout. ”

"You're so conceited!"

"No, on the contrary, I know myself very clearly. On the contrary, you have never faced up to your greed. With the tenacious silk thread of 'greed' tethered, how far can you, a paper kite with no strength, fly?"

"Since you are not a demon, do you have any special requirements for the blood sacrifice you need? ”

Monroe didn't know what a "paper kite" was, but he could feel the disdain in Mephistopheles' tone. But now he didn't rush to refute the other party, but asked irrelevant questions casually.

"Got it?"

Mephistopheles stood up with a smile as if he had noticed something interesting, and there was a hint of coldness in his tone: "You always be stupid when you should be smart, and show off your intelligence when you should be stupid." ”

"I ......"

Monro opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly lost control of his own soul. The pupils glowing with blue rhyme lost their brilliance, and it was obvious that the consciousness of his own soul had been suppressed by Mephistopheles.

"I really don't need a blood sacrifice, and this is indeed your last chance to break out of the contract. Unfortunately, you didn't understand it too late. ”

"I don't care about giving you one more chance, anyway, even if you break the contract, you won't be able to take back the autonomy of your soul from me, but the time for the ritual has come, so our game is over. ”

"Now that fate has decided to make you a sacrifice as soon as possible, ...... Let's get started......"
