"I''m not interested in being an accomplice to the devil." Cheese replied decisively. Although life is so fragile in this world, this is not the reason why mages turn them into trading chips with demons.


    "Hey, don''t be so sure. I promise you that the three men you are going to kill will not cause you any trouble. " It seems that the smiley man''s reaction to cheese is unexpected. In the devil''s opinion, a caster who puts knowledge first like cheese should be very open to his request. After all, those ignorant mortals in the eyes of the latter are no different from the animals, killing a few ants can exchange for the knowledge they want, which should be a good deal in any case.


    But the mage just shook his head. "If they died of the contract with you, I have nothing to say. But it''s quite another thing for me to kill myself. Devil, though I think I am not a noble man, I am not yet a slave to desire. Yes, I crave knowledge, but that doesn''t mean I don''t care about anything else. "


    "That''s a surprise to me. Are you really that Clark''s disciple? How could he let his disciples have this idea? Or is it another stupid attempt to raise your status? I''d like to remind you, Mr. cheese, no matter what your real thoughts are, the things you show have shaken my confidence in doing business with you. I don''t want my trading partner to be, um, sentimental. " The devil moved his body with a clear dissatisfaction in his tone. "If you want me to say, you''d better sign this contract quickly, so that we can both keep more good feelings for each other?"


    "Ha ha." Cheese, smile. Indeed, the education of grey tower has never had such a topic as respecting life. For the Lord of the grey tower, the apprentices spent their limited time studying the mysteries, but their progress was slow. Naturally, he would not care about their values. This leads to the apathetic character of most grey robed mages. They only care about more knowledge or things they are interested in. They don''t care about the good and evil of their actions.


    But cheese is not the same, in the gray tower, he is a special presence. Because of all the other apprentices, they are lonely. From the beginning of coming to the grey tower, they have only themselves and endless knowledge left in their life. However, cheese has a second teacher besides Clark, anlina. The old vampire raised cheese like a mother. In the process, some of her values and magic knowledge inevitably entered the young mage''s mind. In addition, the first stop of cheese into the world is Cangshi, a kingdom of chivalry. The people he contacted showed great respect for life. These two influences work together on the mage, which makes him avoid becoming a person like Curse crow unconsciously.


    "Change it. I won''t accept it." The grey robed mage didn''t care about the devil''s threat, shook his head and said.


    Devil, silent. He stood behind the cheese, not knowing what he was thinking. The candles in the room were burning quietly. There were not many red candles left, but the contract was still floating in front of the mage. The words written by the devil and human characters on the paper sent out a dark red light.


    "Well, wizard. It seems that I did have some wrong comments on you before. Can I ask you a question before I change the terms of the deal? To satisfy my curiosity that I haven''t had for a long time. "


    "Go ahead and I''ll try to answer you." The corners of the cheese''s mouth went up, and he knew that the devil gave in.


    "Why, you can promise the witch named emia to hunt down her kind, but you don''t want to kill for the sake of trading with me? Isn''t there a contradiction between the two? "


    The mage was silent for a moment and said, "there is no reason for this. I don''t kill the heartless witches just because they belong to the dark, or because you want me to kill three mortals. It has nothing to do with the identity of the person I''m going to kill and the benefits I can get after killing. I just feel that killing people according to your contract will make me uncomfortable. That''s it


    "Yes, I understand it all. Ha ha ha, I see! So it is! " This was the second time the devil laughed. Meanwhile, as the existence under the smiling face mask kept making unpleasant laughter, the candle at the five corners of the array was also burnt out. However, the devil did not disappear with the candle. The smiling man just waved and the five candles that were about to be extinguished stopped strangely. The flame on their heads stopped beating, and it felt as if time had suddenly solidified.


    Cheese knows that this is not the case. If the devil can stop time, he doesn''t need to trade with himself. So there is only one explanation for this. "Are you paying for your existence? I heard the price was amazing. " The mage''s eyes narrowed, and the devil''s interest in the deal exceeded his expectation, which was not a good omen.


    "It''s just a few deals in vain. Since you''ve shown me something so interesting, a few empty souls will be my tip for you." Said the devil, and went from behind the chair to the mage. This action almost makes cheese jump out of the chair, because in this calling ceremony, the summoned devil can not appear in front of the summoner. And the smiley man''s ability to do this in such a leisurely way only means that he has got rid of the restrictions of the calling ceremony."Poof" as parchment turned to ashes in the devil''s hand, the smiling face on the mask looked even more strange in the shadow of the fire. "Forget about this boring contract. I can give you better service this time, given your performance." Then, a piece of gold plate appeared in the air, and the devil used his fingernails to mark it down, and large sections of text were printed on it.


    "Come on, Mr. cheese, I promise you will be satisfied with the contract this time."


    The mage quickly read the contents of the gold plate. He found that in the new contract, the provision of limited information for brokers was changed to provide all the information of brokers in the plague of Cangshi. At the same time, the original clause of killing three mortals and harvesting their souls was changed to another bizarre content, protecting Gloria, the daughter of the former count of salon, for three years.


    "Gloria? What does it matter to her? " Cheese looked up at the devil. He didn''t understand why the poor girl was mentioned here.


    "Well, it''s not within the scope of the contract. I''m sorry I can''t answer your question, Mr. cheese The devil''s exaggerated bow, full of "apology" said.


    The master took a breath. He knew that the other side must have cheated, but There''s always a price to pay for dealing with the devil, isn''t it? At least in this way, I am not against protecting Gloria. "All right, deal." Cheese nodded and held out his right hand.


    "Deal Cried the devil, holding the mage with his right hand! The gold plate, which symbolizes the contract, quickly melted into a flowing golden slurry, leaving a strange symbol on both sides of the transaction along the invisible track. The symbol flickered three times and then disappeared.


    …………


    The sun finally set. After a long twilight, the trade between the wizard and the devil was also reached. Not to mention what cheese, who had got the information he wanted, saw visitors in a quiet forest three kilometers away from Wangdu after the figure of smiling face disappeared from the secret room.


    It seems that we are aware of the disturbing smell of the visitors. The small animals drinking water by the pond all fled to the trees when the smiling man approached, leaving only the devil and a secluded pond.


    "My deal with you is done." The smiling man knelt on one knee beside the pond and said to the water.


    "Hum!" When the devil''s voice fell, the water in front of him wrinkled in the deep vibration. These waves scattered the original color of the pond. When the devil''s voice was gone, the scene reflected in the water was no longer the clear night sky and the surrounding trees. What appears in the pool is a huge throne and the presence sitting on it.


    The throne is so dazzling. It is made of precious metals such as gold and platinum. It is decorated with huge gems that the dwarf king can''t imagine! At the bottom of the throne, there were treasures, coins, weapons, magic wands and artworks, which were piled up like rubbish. From the wall behind the throne, it can be seen that this is only a corner of a huge room. If the whole room is covered with these treasures as in front of the throne, God knows what wealth its owner has! I''m afraid that even the mythical residence of God''s residence can''t be so luxurious.


    However, the devil knows that the dazzling throne is not just a pile of valuables, just as most people always think that its owner is a brainless upstart. The gorgeous appearance of the throne always makes people ignore the truth. The truth is that the lines decorated by precious metals and precious stones are not created by any artist. If you ignore the precious light they emit and only consider the shape, you will find that the whole throne is actually made up of bones of different sizes. It is said that some of these bones were once called gods.


    "Long time no see, my dear friend." A deep and soft one can''t help but think of the voice of a gentleman in a stiff dress coming from the pond. It''s just that the owner can''t get along with a handsome gentleman. What a monster that is! Its fat body almost occupied the whole throne. Although the gorgeous clothes she wore were made by the best tailors in the world, it couldn''t hide the bulge of the bloated meat under the dress! The monster''s face can''t be seen in the image of the pond, but it should also be ugly.


    "Yes, my Lord, every time I talk to you, I have a long time to kill myself." The devil bowed his head deeply and complimented him with the most sincere tone.


    "Well, you and I are both business people. Let''s put these useless words aside. You''ve done a good job this time. I''m very satisfied. " Said the monster in a disobedient voice.


    "I''m afraid. You must have known for a long time that the mage would not accept the first contract, did you? "


    "Hehe, what do you think?"


    "I don''t dare to guess what you mean. After all, your wisdom has long been admired by all demons, Lord broker."
