"Little devil? Isn''t it a little devil? "
Russell frowned slightly. The mage knew about the devil and the devil, so he also had his own judgment after listening to atta''s story.
As for the little devil mentioned in his mouth, it can be understood as another classic image of the devil compared with those huge and destructive demons. The little devil is considered to be a kind of demon with weak limbs but full of malice.
"The little devil can''t set up a spell that can make people illusion. They are in a very low position in the devil''s order. Their intelligence and physical strength are quite poor, and they don''t have any spell casting ability. There is nothing impressive about those things except greed. "
Cheese shook his head slightly. Russell''s knowledge mostly came from books. After all, devil summoning is a dangerous ceremony, and the mages in the city of ten thousand dharmas don''t need effective help as their counterparts in the secular world. Therefore, they don''t often use what secular casters need to master most.
Especially the little devil, a low-level devil, has no need to summon.
"Well, what are you talking about? This title seems to refer to many things. You say it''s not a little devil. Is it another kind of devil? Or something else? "
Russell didn''t tangle with cheese too much on this question, but he suddenly thought of something after asking this question. He hurried to the bookshelf to find paper and pen, which can be seen everywhere in the Institute.
Cheese didn''t take care of the spy who began to write and draw on paper. He believed that the other party''s behavior was for a reason, and he couldn''t give help before he stopped, so he turned to the other two and continued to explain,
"The little devil I said is not a devil. Strictly speaking, it is closer to a demon, but it is not a demon. This creature does come from the lower world, that is, the realm where demons live, but you have to understand that there are not only demons. I mean, although there are many kinds of demons, they are intrinsically related, and the little monster is not in this connection, so it is an independent kind. "
"And that doesn''t mean it''s not dangerous. Nothing from the lower world is not dangerous. The air and water there are enough to kill ordinary people. There are no safe creatures that can live there. However, little monsters are really harmless in the lower class. Their mind is more mature than low-level demons. They know how to cheat, use and lie, and can create some illusions to fool their opponents. This is probably similar to the bamboo insect that disguises itself as a branch and the butterfly that disguises its wings as dead leaves, but only to protect itself from demons and other things. The problem is that this means of defense is enough to become a threatening weapon in another environment. "
"But I remember that I did draw a Dharma array to summon demons. As you said, that thing is not a demon. How could he be summoned by me?"
The floor sweeper asked in confusion. After learning that the creature that bothered him was not even a devil, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength. Only a little curiosity and worry about what happened to him supported him to continue to speak.
"The summoning spell has a strong randomness. Before it is completed, we don''t know what will come out of the Dharma array. Unless you have a specific calling target and he responds to your call, it''s like putting your hand into a box and catching anything is possible. General demon summoning will specify the scope of summoning, that is, demons of a specific class. However, some summoning spells will choose a simpler method, that is, bring a creature directly from the lower space, or directly transfer a piece of lower land to the Dharma array on a small scale. The spell you used in those years is probably the one behind. "
Cheese is familiar with the devil''s call. After all, there is a lack of manpower in the gray tower. Many things really need the devil''s help to complete. The grey robes have long been accustomed to this way of life and have little resistance to demons. On the contrary, some people are keen on the study of demonic knowledge.
However, the understanding of demons can not meet the ultimate goal of these mages. Therefore, none of the many gray robes is really the person who studies the following plane or demons as the research subject.
Demon knowledge is more like a tool they need to master in order to better study magic, similar to architects who generally master the ability of drawing.
"Is he still there? I know the devil can''t be completely eliminated in this world. I''m not even sure whether he has left this world. Can you help me confirm that he is still pestering me? "
"In fact, strictly speaking, at the moment when the summoning array is destroyed, there is no relationship between you and what you summon. So whether he is driven out of the world or not, you will not be influenced by him. But that''s only in the sense of contract. I understand your concern. From your description, the little monster should have signed a magical contract with someone, and the magic of the magic sword just made him violate the terms of the contract. "
The cheese said and touched his chin. He thought for a moment and said,
"I''m afraid I can''t give you a clear answer. If he is really a devil, it''s easier to do it. But now, unless we get the content of the contract he signed, no one can say whether the price of violation is expulsion from the world, real death, or other less serious punishment. This is the price that the devil calls must bear. You took the initiative to extend this hand to them. I''m afraid it''s not easy to take it back cleanly. In fact, it''s not bad. Now that you know the true face of that thing, those illusions won''t be enough to become big trouble again. "
After listening to the explanation of cheese, the man finally felt at ease. He stopped staying, said goodbye to several people and left the room in a hurry.
As for whether he will make up for his regret five years ago and try to become a mage again, or do other things, that is not what they can know or are interested in.
But what is certain is that the great sense of absurdity generated by being cheated and teased by little monsters in the past five years until this time will make this person different from himself five years ago. Whether this change leads to better or worse is perhaps more difficult to judge than his subsequent behavior.
"Although the little monster is not strong, its cunning degree is absolutely first-class. It can hide here for five years without being found, and make the poor guy willing to be enslaved by himself. Why does such a monster sign such a strong contract with people. It''s just a name. It has to pay such a high price to disclose it. The hands of the speechless and those who deal with demons will not be very clean. "
"Oh, I forgot to ask his name. No, so I can only refer to him with the person entangled by the little monster in the future!" Atta suddenly thought that he had not asked each other''s name, and suddenly felt a little annoyed.
"It doesn''t matter. You didn''t ask and he didn''t say. This shows that he doesn''t really want to continue with you. For him, being haunted by demons for five years is still a good excuse, but if it''s just little demons, the less people know about it, the better. "
The cheese stalled and said.
