Chapter Ninety-Seven: Magic
It was night, and the capital of knowledge fell silent again under the long darkness and stars. Because of the recent disaster, there are fewer lights in the city at night than before.
An Ling came to the sky above the black clouds of the Capital of Knowledge Graduate School alone, and there was no other movement, just standing quietly in the air, quietly waiting.
He knew that within a while, someone would definitely come looking for him, and it was most likely an acquaintance.
Just as An Ling thought, he only stayed in the air for a short while, and a point of light appeared under his body and slowly flew towards him.
"Your Excellency An Ling, good evening."
The young and handsome mage man gracefully bowed to An Ling.
An Ling glanced at the clothes on Yago's body that obviously had a strong bookish atmosphere, and asked, "What is this suit for, I haven't seen you wear it usually." ”
Yago smiled and said modestly, "I have a lecture today, which is the standard attire of the instructor in the hospital. ”
He explained simply, bowed slightly, and asked An Ling:
"May I ask if your Excellency came to the academy at night?"
An Ling looked around, smiled and said, "It's a little trivial, but this is not a place to talk, right?" ”
"Oh~ I'm sorry!"
Yago reacted suddenly and apologized to An Ling: "Forgive me for being sloppy, Your Excellency An Ling, I have been busy with too many things in the past few days, and my brain is not good." Please come with me and sit in my magic tower. ”
With that, he made a gesture of please.
An Ling nodded wordlessly, and followed Yago to the back of the university.
Because it was a flight, he happened to be able to overlook the whole of the graduate school, and there is no doubt that this is a magnificent, beautiful and knowledgeable place, and if you come here for the purpose of sightseeing, I believe it will be very rewarding.
However, now, in the dark night, what attracts Anling more than the scenery is those incomparably sweet souls. The human soul is already very delicious, but the souls in the university are a little more tempting.
Fortunately, An Ling's concentration is already very sufficient, although he is excited, he does not have the slightest appearance to show.
Follow Yago all the way to his magic tower again, because it was the second visit, and the two of them walked into it without any superfluous conversation and etiquette.
"Your Excellency An Ling, I don't know ......"
"Let's go up and talk about it. It turned out to be that place. ”
"Okay......
The two of them took the magic elevator all the way up, and came to the spacious magic laboratory again.
This laboratory is much cleaner and tidier than the last time An Ling came.
Ya Ge spread his hands to the helpless An Ling, and the meaning expressed was self-evident.
An Ling smiled and sat down casually on a stool in the laboratory.
"First of all, first thing, I'll leave in about two days."
"Oh? Your Excellency is leaving? ”
Yago had a surprised look on his face, but he wasn't happy or sorry to hear that An Ling was leaving. It's just pure surprise.
"Hmm~"
An Ling nodded, looked at him and said, "Just tonight, take care of all the chores I left in the City of Knowledge." ”
"Tonight..."
Yago muttered, then coughed, and quickly said, "As it should be, tonight, I will do my best to arrange what you have to do." ”
An Ling waved his hand and said, "Of course, since you found me first, not Rakkado." Then let's talk to you about personal matters first. I'm talking about business. ”
Yago's face changed quickly, and then he bent down slightly, and said respectfully: "The teacher has been entangled in everything recently, and he can't do it himself. Thank you for your understanding...... Does Your Excellency An Ling have any personal matters to talk to me about? ”
An Ling narrowed his eyes and said with a chuckle: "It was magic at the time...... The dark spell thing. Didn't you say you've been searching for a lost dark spell? Tell me about the situation now. ”
Hearing An Ling talk about this, Yago frowned, and his expression became serious.
I saw him start a device in the laboratory without slowing down, sighed and said:
"Thanks to your last translation, I have almost mastered the full picture of the dark spell, but the requirements for casting the spell are too harsh for me to cast it."
He took out a piece of parchment from a dark compartment and handed it to An Ling.
"This is the dark spell, you will understand it by looking at it."
An Ling took the parchment and looked at it carefully.
It's a spell called the "Eye of the Dark Gaze", which is somewhere between great magic and forbidden spells, and must be harnessed to the power of the abyss.
"Ha~ Are you stumped by such a request, Yago?"
An Ling immediately sneered and sneered.
"Since you want to master the dark spell and don't want to touch the abyss, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"
Yago's face became a little ugly, and he said in a low voice: "This is not simply borrowing strength from the abyss, according to the requirements in the technique, without praying for strength from a certain abyss lord, it is impossible to meet the conditions for casting the spell at all. ”
"That's easy to say~"
An Ling smiled faintly:
"There are many Abyss Lords I know, and it is no problem to introduce them to you at will, when the time comes, you just need to give them what you like, and offer your faith and soul, and they can definitely lend their power to you."
Yago's face immediately became much more ugly.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency laughed. If I had given up my soul, I wouldn't have committed suicide stupidly in front of you, would I? ”
"Then it's not going to be easy."
An Ling casually tossed the parchment aside.
"There is no such thing as the best of both worlds, what you want to get, you have to pay something, don't you?"
Yago looked at An Ling, his eyes moved, and he asked slowly:
"Can you ......?"
"I can't!"
An Ling waved his hand decisively and directly denied Yago's question.
"I am now in a state of rebellion from the will of the Abyss, and I do not have the ability to give you the power of the Abyss."
After reshaping his human body, regaining his humanity, and leaving the abyss to come to the world, An Ling lost many of the powers that the Abyss Lord should have, such as that he could not suck fear and despair into power. For example, he cannot have believers, he cannot listen to prayers, he cannot give others the power of the abyss, and so on.
A look of disappointment flashed in Yago's eyes, and he bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm rude." ”
An Ling laughed and spread his hands: "You don't have to think so much, even if I can give you the power of the abyss, you won't be much better." It's no different from other Abyssal Kings who give you power. ”
"Your soul will still be eroded, and it will still belong to me. That's not going to change. ”
"In short, if you really want to activate this dark spell, you can only find an Abyss Lord and sacrifice your loyalty and soul in exchange for his generosity."
