Chapter 45: Back to square one
There are more than 10 million monsters in the demon world, they are essentially no different from the hustle and bustle of the human world, and they are all seeking profit.
If you use overwhelming strength to bring them to their knees, you can make an eternal pact with them.
The one who will always serve you will always be there, cool, right?
Therefore, until the end of your yang life, the monster that signed with you will be sent by you for the rest of your life.
However, if the demon's life ends at the time of performance, the contract will automatically become invalid.
In principle, this kind of contract method is suitable for almost all monsters, but for high-level monsters of the demon king and above, it is difficult to use the strength that can crush them.
Therefore, for the time being, the eternal service contract is only used for the three low-level demons below the demon king: scattered demons, full demons and spirit demons.
There are still permanent demons under the scattered demons, but because they are the lowest level, they are almost useless, so calling them out is also to increase the number of places, so it is okay not to summon them.
If you want to make a contract with a high-level monster of the Demon King and above, what should you do? Then you might as well try to do what you like and take what you need.
There are three known high-level monsters of the demon king and above: the demon king, the demon venerable, and the demon saint.
These three are all because their divine consciousness tends to be wise, so they all have a good heart, and if the heart is good, it is beneficial to think about it, so they have become profiteers among the demons.
The Profit Contract is a contract signed with high-level monsters who seek profit.
The biggest difference from the perpetual service contract is that the profit service contract can be torn up at any time.
Once the person who summoned the monster can't give the monster what it wants, the summoned monster will immediately unilaterally tear up the contract, and there is no mercy to talk about.
At this moment, this monster standing in front of Wu Moran and Liang Xianzong, judging from the pronunciation of the Dahan official dialect in its mouth, which is no different from ordinary people, its rank is only higher than that of the Blood Pact Demon King.
At a glance, this monster has a smooth body, not only does it not have a trace of miscellaneous hair on its body, but it also has no wrinkles, and its flesh-colored skin is pink and tender.
He was shirtless, with only a pink robe tied around his waist, and his figure was even shorter and rounder, with a shy belly, like a big round egg.
The two small horns embedded in the top of the head are very cute, and the two eyes that are as bright as cyan amber are squinted, and there is disdain inside.
Between its slightly convex nose and thin lips and small mouth, there are two flesh-colored tentacles that slowly sway, looking like ordinary people's two whiskers from a distance.
Such a short and fat and honorable monster, but I don't know what kind of profit contract I signed with whom.
"Yo? Recruits, have you seen enough? The monster played with the unknown bird on his right palm, and his tone revealed impatience, "I'll release a hundred sentences of advice when I've seen enough." β
This demon didn't wait for Wu Liang and the two to react, and suddenly snapped his fingers.
As the fingers echo in the mountains and forests, the blue sky and white clouds, the singing of birds and flowers, and the verdant trees dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye, replaced by heavy stone walls and ceilings.
And the bird in the demon's hand is still chirping, and it seems to be the only real bird here.
But with the monster's beak, the bird turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
Noticing the stunned look of the two teenagers, the monster mocked, "Look at the two of you who have never seen the world!" I call it a retreat, I am a demon venerable of retreat, and the manifestation of the retreat is naturally at my fingertips. β
Wu Liang and the others suddenly realized that the short and fat monster standing in front of them was actually the legendary Demon Venerable, so the manifest and hidden thing it said in its mouth was naturally really handy.
Xu lost patience with the two teenagers, and shouted while clapping his hands: "What are you grinding!" Young people are done! β
As its hands fell, a golden block script appeared in the air.
He preached the rules in a loud voice: "The old rule, the time of a cup of tea, memorize these verses, and then I will ask questions based on these verses."
If you answer correctly, you can clear the level, and if you answer incorrectly, you have to start over, and both of you have to answer at the same time. The timer begins! β
The timer it shouted out unexpectedly began, making the two teenagers who were still in the dark anxious.
So the two of them hurriedly glanced at the entire text and glanced at the hundred-character words hanging in the air.
In this large paragraph of text, four characters are one sentence, every six sentences are a column, and the columns are arranged parallel to each other in the air, carefully calculated, there are a total of seventeen columns, and the last column is missing two sentences, that is, eight characters.
From this, 4624, 24 and 17 get 400 single 8, 400 single 8 minus the missing eight characters, and get a whole 400, so these 100 sentences are a whole hundred sentences, a total of 400 words.
After confirming the number of words, Wu Moran carefully glanced at the hundred sentences suspended in the air, but he saw the clue in it.
This large section of the so-called 100 sentences is actually from Dahan's well-known poetry collection "Selected Poems of Chi Lin".
"Selected Poems of Chilin" covers nearly 100 poems of the two previous dynasties of Chilin, and the poems collected in the period are all classics that have been handed down to this day.
The poems in the 100-character appraisal are all poems with four-character sentences in the "Selected Poems of Chi Lin".
There are a total of 35 poems in the "Selected Poems of Chi Lin", and if it is a test to memorize, the difficulty is not high.
At this moment, Wu Moran really wanted to say thank you to his mother loudly, if it weren't for her family law and reprimand, he wouldn't have been familiar with the whole "Selected Poems of Chi Lin".
So when Dunkong said loudly that the time was up, Wu Moran patted Liang Xianzong's chest and said, "Look at me!" β
Liang Xianzong saw that he was full of confidence, so he replied excitedly: "Look at you! β
However, the question of the void slapped them in the face hard.
"The last six columns of the secluded South Mountain, what is the fifth word from the bottom to the top?"
"What?!" Wu Liang and the others were already shocked at this moment, "How can this be such a problem?!" β
The questioner shrugged helplessly: "Didn't the old man tell you about this when he handed you over?" That's always the way it is. β
"Since I can't answer, I'm sorry, the two little brothers ......" Escape the empty right hand gently flicked outward, and his voice became ethereal, "Let's start again......"
A few birds chirped from time to time in the gradually opened copper door, and the sweet fragrance of osmanthus also came to the face.
These strange sensations are like a courtyard with birds singing and flowers behind the bronze gate.
After the bronze door was fully opened, what appeared in front of the two of them was not a courtyard, but an endless forest with no ceiling and no ceiling!
Above what should have been a roof, there was a blue sky and white clouds shaped like cotton; What should have been around the wall is filled with lush trees that let in dappled sunlight.
The flocks of birds flying high in the air and the sound of birds and beasts rushing between the trees make the space behind this door seem strange and inexplicable.
Liang Xianzong, who had never seen such a scene, stepped in and out several times, constantly confirming the heavy walls and roofs outside the bronze door, as well as the boundless world inside the copper door, and the seamless connection of the two spaces opened his eyes.
Suddenly, a bird whose name could not be called flew around Wu Liang and the others several times, and after attracting the attention of the two, it flew leisurely towards an open place in the forest.
The bird circled in the air a few times, and then it actually hung in the air and fell.
When the two of them were wondering how the bird managed to stand in the air, a loud question came from the place where the bird hoveredβ
"Yo? Are you going to do two inquiries today? So, as usual, it's a 100-sentence test, two brothers, oh no, two teenagers, are you ready? β
