In the pavilion in the garden, Orshiga, who had transformed into a human form, was sitting calmly on a chair, wearing a luxurious dress that was in line with the culture of this world.
On the table in front of him were placed fruits that had been rushed from all over the country, and the clear sunshine shone through the top branches and leaves of the plants, shining sporadically on his handsome face.
Although he has no expression now, and is even sitting quietly, there is a natural evil feeling in his temperament, which makes people feel like there is a sharp sword against the throat, making the temperature of the entire pavilion seem to be out of thin air.
It's a few degrees cooler, and even the sun can't make people feel warm.
Orshiga calmly looked at the mist-like thing in her hand.
The translucent gray-black color is like fine dust that is constantly flowing and rotating, but it does not have a more substantial form, but is like air without any texture.
At this time, Salter, who was not wearing a hooded black robe that is standard for a cult, but was wearing a noble attire, walked into the courtyard, stood respectfully not far from Orshiga and said: "Sir, what do you need?"
Everything has been collected."
"Well, let's go down."
Nodding, Orshika didn't even look at him and said calmly.
Naturally, Salter did not dare to have any opinions on this, or in other words, he did not want to face Orshiga in the first place. Just standing in front of him, Salter felt that he was jumping repeatedly on the edge of death.
The creature in front of me, although now wearing a human appearance, is actually a pure monster on the inside.
In the dead of night, whenever he thought about what happened on the night of the summoning ceremony, and recalled the disbelief in the eyes of those believers who died in front of him, Salt would tremble involuntarily.
Although he had always regarded them as unimportant subordinates, consumables that could be found at any time, after witnessing their tragic deaths and often spending time with them day and night, Salter still inevitably developed a sense of compassion.
, constantly apologizing to them.
It was a very strange feeling, which made Salt, who had always felt that he did all kinds of evil and was not a good person, unable to bear it. Perhaps this was the complex nature of human nature. It was obvious that he had not taken the initiative to sacrifice his subordinates before, but he still couldn't bear it.
Neither of them apologized at all, they just called each other trash.
Maybe this time there is some empathy. After all, many people can only learn to think from someone else's perspective only after experiencing despair.
As long as the knife doesn't stab you, you will never understand how painful it is.
He would never have such an idea until Orshiga made him understand his position.
After all, he has always thought that he is a genius. How can he be on the same level as a bunch of useless trash? What is the point of thinking about others?
Why should a strong person care about the thoughts of a group of weak people? It is not their honor to serve themselves?
This simple thought was ruthlessly shattered when Orshika appeared behind him.
There was no fight, no struggle, just Orshiga's simple gaze, the courage and indifference revealed in those golden vertical pupils, the prey that definitely stood higher in the food chain.
The look in his eyes destroyed all of Salt's self-confidence, completely tore his courage to pieces, and completely erased his dignity as a magician.
It was only after he personally realized that in the eyes of the other party, he was also a weak little insect that could be easily strangled to death, that he automatically put himself into the perspective of a weakling, and thus experienced the mood of his former subordinates.
Although Orshiga did not fully understand Salt's thoughts, he could make a rough guess based on their words and deeds during this period.
But knowing that he knew it, he had no idea of paying attention to it. He just thought it was a bit ridiculous, killing a chicken to scare a monkey, causing the rabbit to die and the fox to be sad...
What if he really was a good person and summoned this demon?
Could it be that the corpse in the summoning ritual and Salt's identity as a warlock were given by someone else?
Simply ridiculous.
It’s okay to be a good person if you can’t be a good person, but it’s just like being a bad person. Do you really think that you can just change your mind and write it off?
I'm afraid I haven't woken up yet!
Even without using any special abilities, Orshika could still rely on the devil's innate ability to feel a lot of resentment wrapped around Salt, which was caused by the victims he used to practice evil arts.
A souvenir left behind. This kind of person wants to turn around and become a good person?
Orshika felt that it would be more practical for him to go to bed early, at least there would still be some chance of dreaming.
However, Orshiga had no intention of speaking out. After all, he really wanted to see if a cult leader who killed innocent people indiscriminately and took human lives seriously could be dedicated to good. What if there was a miracle?
It can be considered as adding some color to your life, just like watching a drama.
------
Speaking of which, Orshiga had to thank Salt. If it hadn't been for his summons, someone might have taken advantage of him.
He really didn't expect his luck to be so good.
I happened to meet a newbie who had been cheated by his predecessors.
The pit here refers to the magic circle that summoned Orshika before.
After he took Salter's magic book, he directly saw that the knowledge in it was completely wrong and contained deep malice.
The magic circle used to summon the Abyss Demon is actually only marked to summon a certain magical creature called [Raging Ape].
And a conventional summoning array basically consists of five parts:
[Search], [Communication], [Summon], [Restriction], and [Expulsion] respectively represent, [Search for things that can be summoned], [Communicate with summons], [How to summon the other party to the destination]
, and the most important thing is [how to restrain the target after summoning it to avoid turning against the target], [if the other party does not cooperate, how to make him go back and forth from where he came].
The magic circle used by Salt only has the first three parts, and the last two parts are a bunch of meaningless runes. This means that he has no restrictions on the summoned objects at all, and cannot control them.
Any expulsion, and the runes responsible for [communication] in the magic circle also cover a large amount of fraud information, and the sacrifices numbering in the dozens are simulated into thousands, which is a typical commercial fraud.
The ritual that at most summons the [Little Demon] plays the role of summoning the [Lower Demon].
Under normal circumstances, due to the effect of this [deception], it is impossible for the summoned demon to buy it. The abyss contract between the two parties cannot be established at all, so the demon can basically only be sent back to the bottomless abyss, just like a trip in vain.
.
But the bad thing is that Salt's magic circle does not have the function of [expulsion] at all. It is more like a one-way portal, which only has the function of deception and teleportation. It is the same as inviting demons to a buffet, and it is half
The kind of coaxing and half-deceiving means that you won’t leave until you have enough to eat today. What kind of great fraternity is this?
It simply crosses the race and the world!
In this case, if the demon who responded to the summons was not Orshiga, but another lower-level demon.
After realizing that they had been deceived, the demons naturally had to collect travel expenses on the spot from the summoners who had no countermeasures, and also paid a visit of solidarity and friendship to the world.
From this perspective, Orshika can barely be considered a savior!
He could only accept this in a low-key manner and did not publicize it to avoid being treated enthusiastically by everyone.
As for the cause of everything, the summoning ritual recorded in the magic book, Orshika also understood that it was nothing more than a magician who had been on the street a long time ago. Before he died, he wanted to take revenge on society and misled people with wrong information.
Later, the person who obtained the magic book created a catastrophe and added some color to the world.
That is the kind of simple thought that if I die, no one else will have a good time.
Similar things have happened more than once, and most of them ended successfully with the devil having sex for free, and in a small number of cases, the boat was capsized.
If there is a chance, Orshika sincerely looks forward to being summoned in the future, and will encounter this situation every time.
But he also knew that this kind of opportunity, like winning a lottery, was rare to come across once.
--------
According to the abyss biological clock that the Orshiga demon comes with, he can clearly feel that the ratio of the time in this world to the time in the bottomless abyss is 3:1, which is three times slower, which is incomparably in line with Orshiga's clock.
Target, it would be better if the magic power content could be higher.
The magic response of this world is very low, and the magic content in the atmosphere is not even one-twentieth of that of a demon novice village like the Wailing Forest.
And this is the result of hundreds of millions of monsters in the Wailing Forest continuously absorbing magic power day and night.
In this world with relatively poor magic power, although there are still some spell casters, based on the data collected by the Kingdom of Marton, Orshiga judged that their spell casting methods are still very poor and should only be in a relatively primitive stage.
Perhaps there are some unique geniuses with outstanding talents, but the big environment ultimately constrains them and blocks their way forward.
When he was first summoned, Orshika's strength was suppressed by the world to only about half, but now he has basically recovered after recuperation.
This is also due to the resistance to world oppression provided by [Armed Rune-Scarlet]. Creatures like demons basically belong to the lifelong blacklist VIP members of each world. As soon as they enter another world, they will be blacklisted.
In response, let alone 50% of the strength, it is normal to suppress 70 to 80%.
This is also the reason why demons often initiate large-scale massacres in the first place.
Because only a large number of killings and a large number of plundering souls can speed up one's own recovery.
But even if it is still the case, Orshiga can still feel that the whole world is rejecting him, and he does not want to kick him out all the time. It is an influence from all aspects, and even absorbing magic power from the atmosphere requires
Forced looting, and resistance is gradually strengthening.
Sooner or later, he will be forcibly kicked back into the abyss. Even with [Armed Rune-Scarlet], time will be set back a little at most.
But Orshiga doesn't care much about this, because he can't live here forever, as long as he can achieve his goal.
