, "There's a reason for that. Think about it, from what you know, aren't humans very vulnerable?"
"Well, it is said that the best warriors among men are not as strong as devil warriors."
The Master said: "Yes, as you know, although human beings have various abilities, our bodies always have limits. Simply put - we are easy to die, maybe one day, maybe because of What happened, people die suddenly. The contract will limit my soul, if I die accidentally before I can't achieve your goal, then my soul will be judged as breaking the contract, and I may be punished by Imprisoned in the void, unable to return to the arms of the gods. But if I really die, am I doing it on purpose? Did I deliberately break the contract? Obviously not. So we still set the contract until the day I die Well, it would be unfair to me if the day is set for your completion."
But... there seems to be something wrong... The Demon King pondered for a while, although human beings are indeed easy to die, but there are also many people who die safely... If the mage lives his whole life well, wouldn't he have to obey the contract and serve purgatory all his life? But it doesn't matter, since this fool is willing, then let him go, it will be beneficial to Mocheng.
So the Demon King recited: "Called by me, make a covenant with me, and be loyal to me until the end of your life. The summoned person, Allette Hope, will you voluntarily sign a contract with me?"
"I voluntarily made a covenant, and I will never regret it."
After hearing the answer, the Demon King bent down and kissed the palm of the human's hand. The kiss landed on the palm print, and a small flame burst out. The flame danced in the human palm, but did not ignite the skin. After a while, the flame went out, leaving a coin-sized emblem on the human palm.
The Demon King looked at the emblem and kissed the human palm again. The mage laughed: "The contract is complete, you don't need to kiss again."
"Oh, it's done? Good..."
The Demon King was reluctant to admit it. In fact, he knew that the contract was completed and that he didn't need to kiss a second time, but just now he couldn't help but want to kiss the human hand again, as if the first kiss wasn't enough. How strange.
"Then I can make you do things now!" The Demon King straightened his back and said proudly.
The human replied respectfully: "Yes. But on the contrary, I will also ask you for the payment you deserve, which is also allowed by the contract spell."
The Demon King said: "I'm not stingy, you can say whatever you want. Gold is worthless in the Hundred Cave Purgatory, but it is very popular in other planes. If you want some gold..."
"Can it be paid in installments?" the Master asked, "I can't think of anything at the moment, so why don't you give it to me in installments. I can ask you for whatever I think of, and you can give it if you can, or change it if you can't. It depends on the difficulty of the task, right?"
"Okay. What do you want now?" The Demon King weighed the Probing Crystal, estimating the rewards that humans might offer.
"I heard that there is a plant in the purgatory of the hundred caves, we call it the grass snake grass, it is called in the purgatory language..."
Mage Wright said a word, the Demon King really knew that kind of grass, and he took out a small bag from the pocket of his robe. Everyone here carries it.
""You want this herb? This is the first-aid medicine we are proud of, which can stop the bleeding in an instant. "
"Yes, I want this."
The demon king put the medicine bag in the palm of the mage, and felt that the human skin was a little colder than before. After taking the medicine bag, the mage retracted his hand into the mirror. The devil leaned to the mirror and shouted at the shaking water waves, "What do you want this for? Could it be that you are going to die?" If you die, our Isn't the contract a waste!
"I am alive and well," without physical contact, the human voice sounded a lot farther away, "Our plane does not have this medicine, I have to prepare some emergency use."
"Well, I can give you more in the future."
Next, the Demon King wants to say goodbye to the mirror and go to the library to find literature about the dragon blood gem. Before leaving, he carefully enchanted the bedroom to prevent intrusion or prying eyes.
Strange to say, the legendary human mages are very insidious and cunning. They deceive the devil, are insatiable, and don't care about the fairness of the contract at all. The Demon King couldn't help but think, what happened to this Arlette I met? Why is he so talkative? Is it because he was on sick leave after rolling down the stairs and was so busy that he thought it was okay to help the devil? Or did he deliberately confuse others with a soft and innocuous gesture to cover up his larger ambitions
Anyway, the summoning has been successful, the contract has been established, and we can only take one step at a time. The Demon King took out the detection crystal and looked at it. No matter what kind of person the mage is, at least he is quite interesting and his hands are beautiful. Now I ask him and he asks me, as long as I am more careful it is good. In any case, cunning humans have never been the opponents of the devil.
There are many documents related to the dragon blood gem, and each of them is terrifyingly thick. The Demon King moved the full-length mirror to the desk, the lower left hand held the Mage's hand, and the two upper hands read the ancient books slowly under the guidance of the Mage.
The mage said that he didn't need to read the whole book, which made the demon king relax a lot. The Demon King will read the index first, and then Arlette will tell him which section to peruse.
"You don't need to read the rest?" the Demon King asked.
"Not for now," said the mage. "Everything is prioritized, and dealing with that warlock is the most urgent thing at the moment. As for the rest of the literature... If you have free time in the future, can you continue to read it for me?"
"If you have time, of course you can." The Demon King didn't say too much. Reading is still quite boring, in case he doesn't want to read in the future.
Three days have passed. The Demon King has heard that human beings spend half of their time sleeping every day, which is too wasteful and unbelievable, but the mage Alette didn't sleep so much. He carefully prepared spells and designed magic weapons that could compete with dragon blood gems during these three days. Magic items, lie down and take a nap when you are tired, and continue when you wake up, as if you only slept for more than ten hours in total.
Sometimes his hand was held by the Demon King, and he fell asleep like this... The Demon King continued to hold the small human hand with his lower left hand, while the upper left and right hands were busy familiarizing themselves with all kinds of magic items—there were already a lot of magic items around him. Scrolls, stencils, enhanced instruments... All of them were provided to him by Arlette and could help in the war.
The mage said that the devil's way of enchanting weapons and armor is too simple, basically only relying on gems containing power, while humans are not like this. Human spellcasters have a set of mature enchanting methods, which can permanently integrate different spell effects into weapons and items. Therefore, the mage worked overtime to provide all kinds of magic tools, and also concentrated the enchanting process in the triggering technique, which was transferred from the scroll to the demon king, so that the demon king could cast the weapon... After the spell caster's strengthening, even if there is no dragon blood gem in the magic city, Able to contend with the armies of fiend warlocks.
With the help of the demon king, the mage also learned a lot about the dragon blood gem. He said that he could design a scepter for the demon king. When the two armies fight in the future, as long as the demon king can retrieve the gem and put it on the scepter, From then on, the Dragon's Blood Gem will never leave the Demon King's side. Under the effect of the scepter, the gem will suspend the protection of the enemy army, and reflect all these beneficial effects back to the magic city army. At that time, the magic city army will have both the help of human magic and the blessing of dragon blood gems. Superposition will be overwhelming.
The Demon King was very happy. He put Arlette's hand to his lips and kissed it several times. The Master stiffly wanted to withdraw his hand, but the Demon King refused to let go.
"Is this the etiquette of the Hundred Caves Purgatory?" The human murmured uncomfortably.
"It's not etiquette," the Demon King said frankly, "it's just that I like it."
"Don't be like that. I'm human."
"The Hundred Caves Purgatory does not stipulate that the devil cannot kiss humans."
"I am a male human."
"Do male humans die when kissed?"
"That wouldn't be..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Demon King kissed the back of his hand and pecked his palm again: "It's all my fault that this damned summoning spell didn't work, or you could stand in front of me whole, then I Instead of just kissing your hand, I really want to kiss your face too."
"Is this purgatory's way of saying thanks?"
"No, it's a way of expressing affection. As far as I know, humans do that too."
Arlette sighed: "Don't do this. I'm a male human who doesn't look good, maybe not as beautiful as the servant next to you."
"The servants around me are all very beautiful. It is only natural that humans are not as beautiful as them. I have known it for a long time. It doesn't matter." After speaking, the Demon King kissed the inside of the wrist of the relatives again.
Arlette was silent for a while, and seemed to be very overwhelmed, not knowing what his expression was at this time. "All right, then," he said helplessly at last, "but I have to take my hand back, and I'm going to make a scepter."
"Okay. Oh! Wait a minute!" The Demon King opened his hand, let him palm up, and placed a transparent crystal cup with a lid on it.
The cup was heavy and contained a pile of round black and red fruits. The Demon King said: "You said that only magic items can be delivered across planes, and ordinary objects will be damaged? I added protection magic to the cup, you can take it back, it won't be damaged."
"What is this?" the human asked.
"It's the fruit of the Throat Sealing Tree. This thing is only available in the Hundred Caves of Purgatory, and other creatures other than devils can also eat it. It won't be poisoned. It's delicious, and it can refresh the mind."
"Oh... although I don't
