The world of meditation, the dark realm.

Orlando Castle, underground chamber.

Against the wall, there is a man-high mercury mirror.

Scarlet velvet blanket, covered in mirrors.

The Ogre Wizard Ancestral Spirit, fused by Allen, paced with his hands on the other side of the mirror, his brows furrowed.

He was faced with a difficult choice.

……

It's been more than three months since the mushroom garden was moved back to Silver Moon Island.

The war between the Federation of the North and South Islands is still ongoing.

During this time, Alan occasionally performed teleportation, bringing a group of relatives and friends, including his sister, sister, and Griffin siblings, to support the southern islands.

With the inside information provided by Tafman, Span Sa, and Sonia, it is very good to take the dragon vein warlocks, beast worshippers, and human demon cultists of the opposing camp.

Kelly and others have also made great strides through practical training.

Most of the rest of the time, Alan spends time in the Dungeon of Panthers, retreating in the newly built mushroom garden and concentrating on spiritual practice.

Three months have passed in the outside world, and a year and a half have passed in the secret realm.

During this period, Allen's cultivation has steadily improved, and he has touched the threshold of breaking through the bottleneck and advancing to the fifth order.

At a critical juncture, he encountered an unexpected trouble.

It all started with Allen's fused ancestral spirit, a young ogre wizard.

The fallen prince of the orc tribe was besieged by humans and elves, lost his territory and troops, and was forced to flee to the dark regions.

In the dark underworld, there are two major forces.

One is the undead under the leadership of the necromancer.

The second is a dark dungeon ruled by the Dark Elves.

The original owner of the underground castle where Eren lives is named Orlando, a dark elf warlock from the Dark Dungeon.

Eren plotted to assassinate Orlando and transform it into a fungus.

The self-proclaimed Grand Governor, the de facto owner of Orlando Castle.

As the steward, it is of course a matter of duty to take stock of the property in the castle.

This inventory doesn't matter, but I accidentally discovered the secret of Orlando's life!

In the basement of the castle, there is a secret door with a magical seal on it.

Alan faced the secret door and released eight "dispersal techniques" in a row.

Finally dispelled the seal and opened the secret door.

Inside the door is an empty hall that looks like a spell testing ground.

The layout of the hall is plain.

In addition to the desk and chair, there is only a floor-to-ceiling mirror against the wall.

mirror, also covered by a velvet cover.

As soon as Eren entered the door, he sensed the fluctuations of magic emitted by the mirror.

Obviously, it's a magician.

Out of caution, Eren was in no hurry to get close to the magic mirror.

Walk over to the desk and look through Orlando's notes.

This is a research note, and the object of study is the magic mirror.

Orlando notes that the mirror was originally stored in the Netherlande, and that it belonged to his cousin, a noble priestess of Drow.

Many years ago, by chance, Orlando saw the Magic Mirror.

Inexplicably, the magic mirror seemed to be summoning itself.

Since then, he has been fascinated by the mirror.

There is a strong desire to take possession of the Magic Mirror.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to assassinate his cousin, steal the magic mirror, and escape from the dungeon.

Hide in this backwooded place and immerse yourself in the study of the Magic Mirror.

After years of research, Orlando discovered that this mirror contains powerful magic.

Recite the right spell to open the world across the mirror and make a pact with mysterious otherworldly creatures to reap the benefits.

Orlando spent a lot of effort cracking the spell that opened the magic mirror.

When he finally succeeded in deciphering the spell, he found that it was even more terrifying than he thought!

Orlando was scared!

He didn't dare to deal with the mysterious existence in the mirror, and hid the magic mirror in the underground secret room and sealed it.

Shortly thereafter, Orlando died at the hands of Allen, leaving him unable to use the mirror.

That's the end of Orlando's story.

The following notes, mainly spells recorded in Drow script, are dense and very obscure.

Alan couldn't help but wonder, what exactly did Orlando see in the mirror?

So much so that I was so frightened that I gave up this research and gave up halfway after years of hard work!

Anyway, this is a meditation world, and Alan has nothing to fear.

Even if he breaks out of the heinous disaster, he won't be able to hurt his body.

So, he decides to continue the interrupted work in Orlando and unravel the secrets behind the magic mirror.

Orlando had already completed the spell to open the Magic Mirror, but unfortunately the complex spell was written in the words of the Dark Elves.

Alan knows a little about Drow and can barely cope with everyday conversation.

However, Orlando's notes are comparable to scientific papers from previous lives!

The writing is too obscure, and many rare words are not used in daily life.

Alan read it and only understood about 30%.

In order to fully read the note, Alan had to leave the castle and disguise himself as a dark elf and blend into the Dark Dungeon.

Originally, he wanted to kidnap a drow and help him decipher the spell.

A random passer-by on the street may not be able to read Orlando's notes, at least a warlock or priestess or something of culture.

Warlocks and priestesses, but the ruling class in the dungeon!

Any one of them is from a wealthy family and a celebrity!

Can such a person be kidnapped casually?!

Considering that it might alert the ruling family in the city and send someone to track down the missing, Alan had to dismiss this idea and went to the bookstore to buy a Drow dictionary.

With a dictionary as a reference, he was able to look up rare words and interpret Orlando notes on his own.

It took a lot of effort for Alan to finally understand the second half of the note.

Afterwards, I couldn't help wiping a cold sweat!

In addition to the spell, Orlando also vaguely revealed in his notes that the opposite side of the demon realm is connected to the bottomless abyss.

That's right, it's the devil's hometown!

Recite a spell to the magic mirror, and the figure of the fire demon general Anzus will appear in the mirror.

Those in front of the mirror, offering a tribute that satisfies Anzus, will receive a corresponding reward from the demonic warlord.

The demons in the abyss love nothing more than the soul.

General Anzus is no exception.

Sacrifice your soul for him and you will summon demons from the mirror!

The summoned demons will obey the orders of the sacrificer and fight for them until they die.

Demons die outside the abyss and don't really die.

Its sinful spirit automatically returns to the abyss and will be reborn in the pool of blood, but its strength has deteriorated.

Therefore, the demons summoned from the mirror may be strong or weak, but they are not afraid of death, and they are very competent as mercenaries.

Sacrificing souls and summoning demons seems like a fair deal.

However, Orlando did not accept the offer from the Firedemon General Anzus during his lifetime.

This is not only because he is suspicious of the credibility of the demon, but also because he is afraid that the summoned demon will not listen to the call and will kill himself.

More mainly...... Anzus doesn't have a good reputation in the warlock world.

His name, say it, you can stop the child from crying at night!

Anzus has a vast army of demons who invaded the world of warlocks centuries ago, causing a catastrophe.

Eventually, the major forces, including humans, orcs, and elves, joined forces and sacrificed countless warriors to drive Anzus' army back into the abyss.

This demonic army led by Anzus is recorded in the history books of various races, calling it ...... "Burning Legion"!

The Dark Elves from Orlando also fought in the war against the invasion of the Burning Legion.

The Dark Elves are a long-lived race, and it is easy to live for two or three hundred years.

Orlando still remembers how his mother was murdered by demons, casting a deep shadow on his young mind.

So, he didn't accept Anzus' deal.

Sealed the magic mirror with horror.

Lest Anzus and his Burning Legion use this magic mirror as a springboard to make a comeback!

Orlando's childhood shadow, Alan can understand, and sympathize.

However, he does not have this psychological shadow.

The demon legion that exists in the meditation world does not affect reality, and he does not mind satisfying his curiosity.

Lift the velvet cover and chant the incantation to the mirror.

Magical ripples rippled on the mirror, and the figure of Anzus, the Barorian Demon emerged from the mirror.

The Demon Lord was tall and mighty, with black wings on his back and a pair of twisted horns raised on his forehead.

The raging flames around him, radiating high temperature through the mirror, made Alan feel scorching hot.

Anzus, the fire demon general, how strong is he?

Alan couldn't see through it.

After all, the levels of the two sides are too different.

While Eren was observing Anjus, General Firefiend was also observing him across the mirror.

"Young friend, what's wrong with my old friend Orlando?"

"Orlando is dead, my name is Pretty Boy, and I'm the new owner of the Magic Mirror." Alan told the truth.

"I'm sorry for Orlando, but it's not a turning point."

Anzus' smile made no secret of his schadenfreude.

"Orlando is a coward and doesn't dare make a deal with me, young man, and may you have more courage than Orlando, and ...... Ambition. ”

"Without further ado, I'll introduce you to the rules of trading first."

"As you know, in our bottomless abyss, the soul is a universal currency."

"I need to accumulate enough souls to strengthen the Burning Legion and improve my standing in the bloody battle."

"Young man, my request is simple."

"You help me collect souls, and I'll help you recruit troops."

"The more souls you give me, the more Abyss Mercenaries you can get."

"We all know that the world is not fair."

"Some people are born nobles, and some people can only live on their knees."

"The soul is the same, there is a distinction between high and low."

"The soul of the strong can be exchanged for a powerful mercenary here."

"The soul of the weak, I'm sorry, I can only exchange it for a little minion."

"If I'm not mistaken, you guys are used to dividing the troops into seven levels?"

"According to your habits, I will divide my troops into seven classes."

"In this way, the exchange of the same level is clear at a glance."

As he spoke, Anzus raised his hand.

The mirror on Allen's side, near the edge, is densely packed with tables.

In the form, fill in the level 1~7 troops of each race, as well as the demon classes that can be exchanged.

"Young man, frankly, we Tanali are born to be stronger than you mortals."

"Troops of the same level are at least half a level stronger than you!"

"So, one-to-one exchange, you have taken a big advantage!"

The Demon Lord rubbed his hands together and smiled like a profiteer.

"It's a rare opportunity, don't miss it!"

Alan was not busy making decisions, and went through the class exchange chart first.

As Anzus said, according to this price list, the demon classes exchanged are generally stronger than the sacrificial classes!

And it's not a strong one-and-a-half.

The gap between some classes is simply ridiculously large!

The second-level soldier of the demon, if he gets the mortal world, it is not too much to say that he is a third-level soldier!

The individual strength of the devil, not to mention mortals, the devil has to bow down!

The only weakness of the demonic army is that the military discipline is lax, and it is difficult to carry out meticulous and complex tactical coordination.

Anzus's Burning Legion is unlike any other demonic army.

Anzus, the general of the fire demons, is well-governed and disciplined.

The demon soldiers he trained may not be as good as the devil in terms of tactical literacy, but they are definitely not inferior to mortal soldiers.

Willful nonsense, cannibalism - these common problems of demons are zero tolerance in the Burning Legion!

So, there is another advantage to trading with Anzus, you don't have to worry about the demon mercenaries summoned to go berserk.

Anzus's ruby eyes, as if able to see through people's hearts, smiled and persuaded Alan:

"Young man, you look like an ogre wizard, why do you live in the underground castle of the dark elves?"

"I'm guessing you're probably in trouble."

"Maybe you once lived on the surface world, once owned your own castle and territory, and a group of orc warriors who pledged their allegiance to you."

"For some reason, you have lost everything you once had, and you have to hide in the dark and dark areas, surviving in secret."

"Friend, is this the life you want?"

"Are you willing to be a rat in the gutter for the rest of your life?"

"Sacrifice your soul, young man, and take my troops with you to regain all that you have lost and conquer your enemies!"

Alan had to admit that he was moved by what General Flame Demon said.

Isn't it the long-cherished wish of the ancestral spirit to reclaim the territory and take revenge on the Griffin Empire and the Elven Court?

With the power of demons, it is undoubtedly a shortcut to make a comeback!

Alan had expected that the Ancestral Spirit would gladly accept the deal offered by Anzus.

However......

He was wrong.

Just as he was about to accept the deal, the ogre wizard Ancestral Spirit, who had been silent for a long time, became active again and strongly protested!

"Nope! As a prince of the orcs, I will never make a deal with demons! ”

"The devil will promise you many good prospects, but at what cost?"

"We orcs also fought in the glorious war against the invasion of the Burning Legion."

"My ancestors, who shed their blood and died in the fight against the demons, contributed to the expulsion of the demons!"

"If I am tempted by Anzus to take refuge in the demons and act as the leader of the comeback of the Burning Legion, a shameful traitor, how will I face the ancestors and the ancestors?!"

"Ahh I crave revenge, but I can't be carried away by hatred! ”

"You can't bring disaster to this world for the sake of being quick for a while!"

"If you do business with the devil, you will eventually play with fire and burn yourself, and you will regret it!"

Zu Ling's excited confession made Alan very embarrassed.

This young ogre wizard, although he is not a good person, has a positive outlook on the position of right and wrong.

Alan is not a natural cheap bone, if he can straighten his spine and live, who wants to be a second devil and lead the party?

After some careful consideration, he finally accepted the protest of the ancestral spirit.

Recite the incantation and close the magic mirror.

"Alas, young man, you are still too young!"

"We need each other and will meet again."

Anzus's countenance, with a hint of regret, disappeared into the magic mirror.

Eren was willing to respect the ancestral spirit's position and not make a deal with the demons.

Helplessly, the world is impermanent.

Not long after, fate once again brought him back to the Magic Mirror.
