Why would anyone want to summon a demon
That's because people have needs and desires, whether it's for strength or eternal youth, they often turn to outside help for things they can't achieve, and thus, the Devil's Summoning was born. .
Generally speaking, people who summon demons are not good people. People with pure and kind hearts will not think of seeking help from demons. Only people with dark psychology and evil nature will sell their souls to demons.
Lucius is this kind of person. Even Roy, who is a demon, hates him.
But what has to be said is that demons also need such people, because signing a contract with them is a guarantee that demons from other worlds can stay.
Roy wanted to stay in this world and have a look, but he couldn't let Lucius do everything, so he could only use this kind of deception to get Lucius to change the content of the transaction. Now Roy somewhat understands , the reason why the devil is always full of deception and lies in many religious legends is not that the devil is like this in nature, but that the devil cannot do it when he encounters these greedy and extravagant people!
Roy felt that Lucius should thank him. If Roy had not killed the little devil at the Gate of the Abyss and chose to respond to the summons, then the one summoned by Lucius and the others would probably be that person. They are just little devils. When the time comes, Lucius and his friends, who only offer pitifully little blood and internal organs, are reluctant to sell their own souls, and only intend to give a little loyalty as a sacrifice, dare to propose With such an arrogant trade request for immortality and world domination, the little devil who dared to bare his teeth in the face of Roy would probably tear them apart out of rage!
Don’t doubt it, no matter how little demons you are, they are much more powerful than ordinary humans. It is effortless to kill Lucius and the others. It is not uncommon for demons to be summoned and then backfired. Most demons are violent and chaotic in nature. , when the devil finds that he cannot fulfill the contract, even if he will be expelled by the power of the world, he will choose to directly kill the summoner and take away their soul. Therefore, when the summoner has no power to defend against the devil, he rashly summons the devil. It is a very dangerous thing.
Only Roy would be patient and let Lucius modify the contract.
In the abyss demon world, demons and demons are actually the same race, but some demons have relatively high intelligence and know how to use methods instead of blindly using violence to solve problems. They appear more rational, so in the name of humans, They became the devil. Strictly speaking, Roy could also be called the devil.
When Lucius's wish changed, the words on the devil's contract naturally changed accordingly. The content of the entire contract was that Lucius provided Roy with one hundred souls, regardless of level, and in return, Roy This contract will give him a hundred years of life. Under Roy's control, this contract does not stipulate a time limit. In other words, until Lucius brings him a hundred souls in accordance with the contract, Roy can With this contract, he can resist the rejection of the power of the world and stay here.
Roy even played a little word game. The contract stipulated that Lucius should have a hundred years of life, not an additional hundred years of life. Considering that Lucius is now in his forties, Look, even if he really fulfills his agreement, Roy only needs to add about sixty years to his life in the end!
Lucius could also see this devil's contract. After all, it belonged to both parties. However, because the devil's contract was a manifestation of the power of the Gate of the Abyss, it was essentially biased towards the devil's side. This caused Lu Xiu to Although Si could see the devil's contract, he did not recognize the devil's words on it, and looked at the devil's contract with a confused look on his face.
In the end, Roy stretched out a gleaming fingernail, pointed at a blank space on the contract, and asked him to sign, and then the signing of the contract was completed.
Roy does not need to sign, because his name is displayed at the beginning of the devil's contract, but it is not Roy's entire devil's real name, only the last byte string of his real name, which is "Osiris!"
The moment Lucius signed his name, the entire demon contract suddenly ignited into flames and was burned. This meant that the contract officially took effect, and Roy's feeling of rejection was gradually disappearing.
What he experienced today really made Lucius nervous and excited, so much so that his fat face, covered with sweat and oil stains, actually looked a little red in the firelight. He looked at the burning The devil's contract, his eyes were wild, and he murmured in a low voice: "It's really possible, it's really possible! I also signed a contract with the devil... Now, I finally don't have to be afraid of that damn vampire anymore!"
Lucius should have said these words in his heart, but when he said them aloud in excitement, Roy naturally heard them. His heart moved, he lowered his head and asked him: "What do you mean? Others have also signed contracts with demons? What about the vampires you mentioned?"
Lucius was startled by Roy's suddenly approaching ferocious face, and unconsciously took two steps back before saying in panic: "Yes... yes, my lord! I'm talking about Dracula, the vampire Dracula." Count! People in the town rumored that he was once the son of the ancestor of the Villeless family. Four hundred years ago, he suddenly turned into a vampire. It is said that he gained immortality and strength because he signed a contract with the devil. "
The vampire Count Dracula?
Roy was stunned for a while, what's going on?
He was surprised and confused, but Roy's face remained calm and he said in a playful tone: "Oh? So, you originally hoped to gain immortality, but actually you also wanted to become a vampire?"
"No, no!" Lucius quickly shook his head and said: "Creatures like vampires are simply monsters. I don't want to become like that! It's better to exchange my soul for life like this! I don't want to be hunted down by the church... "
Roy heard another word, church!
He had previously suspected that after he was summoned through the Gate of the Abyss, he came to a world similar to the Earth. After all, Lucius and the others looked like humans on Earth, so he was actually very confused. After hearing the keywords vampire, Dracula and church again, Roy's doubts became more and more intense.
So, Roy started talking again and asked, "Looking at how scared you are, is that vampire still attacking you?"
"Yes, my lord!" Lucius took out a handkerchief with lingering fear, wiped the sweat from his balding forehead, and said, "In fact, our town has been harassed by vampires for more than four hundred years. , but at that time there was only one vampire, Dracula. Even if he sucked human blood, it would not be too much. With the population of the town, it was not a big problem. However, in recent decades, there have been three more Draculas. The Vampire Bride, they are harassing the town more and more frequently. Many people are sucked to death every day, and the population of the town is becoming smaller and smaller. If this continues, the town will really be over... "
"Have you never thought about running away?" Roy asked.
"It's impossible. Most of the people who escaped were killed by Dracula. He has treated the people in this town as livestock. How could he let us escape?" Lucius smiled bitterly: "Besides, Almost all the people in the town are poor, and they don’t have the money to escape to other places!”
"But you mentioned the existence of the church!" Roy became more and more surprised, but he continued to ask: "Will the church just let vampires wreak havoc?"
"Not really!" Lucius shook his head: "But after Dracula became a vampire, the ancestor of the Villeless family felt very guilty. He went to the church once four hundred years ago, and he couldn't bear to kill him. He wanted to kill his son, but he swore to God that his descendants would kill Dracula. Otherwise, the souls of their entire family would not be able to go to heaven. It was because of this oath that the church also acquiesced in letting the Villeless family To deal with Dracula, that’s why we didn’t send anyone here.”
"It's just that the situation is a little different now!" Lucius continued: "The people of the Villeless family have been trying to kill Dracula for the past four hundred years, but they died one by one. In the hands of the family, the huge population of the family has become increasingly scarce. Now, only the last two bloodlines of the Villeless family are left. If this continues, the Vellelis family will disappear. So when the church learns about this After seeing the situation, I realized the seriousness of the matter and finally sent someone!"
"Since the church has sent people, do you still dare to summon demons at this juncture?" Roy said with a grin: "Do you think you can't die fast enough?"
Roy is now even doubting that Lucius is trying to trick the devil!
"No, no! My Lord, don't get me wrong!" Lucius also heard the meaning of Roy's words and explained in panic: "The church did send people, but do you know who they sent? ? It's Van Helsing! That's just another monster! The people in the town don't want him to appear at all, because if he fails, Dracula will spread his anger to the entire town, and the town will be completely destroyed! Now we There is no other way, so I turn to your power..."
