[This chapter is dedicated to female compatriots. Women are not demons.]
Princess Rex, Salin, and the others were arranged to stay in the palace. When they arrived, Salin found out that the soldiers and mages who followed Princess Rex to the imperial capital were also rewarded by the emperor.
In Kushui Commandery, Salin felt that Princess Rex was very rich. When he came to Holy Rock City, he immediately felt that Kushui Commandery could only be considered as having enough to eat. The equipment that Princess Rex had given everyone was carefully planned out. His Majesty had simply brought out a whole set of equipment from the warehouse.
The brand-new equipment, ancient style, seemed to have been sealed for many years.
Unfortunately, there was no royal dinner. Salin and the others' dinner was directly sent to their rooms. After eating, the servants removed the cutlery, served tea, and disappeared. Salin lay on the big bed with his limbs spread out. The ceiling was very high. If he didn't have the sharp vision of a mage, he wouldn't even be able to see the patterns on the roof.
Salin didn't feel excited. Even though he went from a little beggar to a mage, he could still stay in the palace for a few days. Such a huge change in status couldn't make him feel relieved.
His teacher was missing, and so was his home. Others could calmly pursue knowledge, but he could only desperately accumulate power. Even if he killed Count Alphonso, he had a country but no home. No matter how big the Myers Continent was, he was just a passerby. Salin didn't start practicing magic like before. Instead, he took out the badge and the IOUs left by his father.
The oldest of these IOUs had seven or eight hundred years of history. At that time, the Metatlin Family hadn't completely declined. Maybe after he got his revenge, he could find these guys who owed money one by one according to the surnames on the IOUs.
Salin crossed his legs and glanced at the family badge next to him. On the dark badge, the deep lightning mark was sharp and angular, as if it had just been formed.
"Master?"
Salin looked up. Neris stood at the door. Her gorgeous mage robe was gone, and she was still in her dazzling outfit. Salin had been out a lot, so he naturally knew that this outfit was a bit eye-catching. However, he didn't care about Neris. Demons always had their own reasons. Maybe this could save her some trouble.
"Come in." Salin waved. Neris smiled, ran to the bed, and jumped directly on it. The bed was big enough to fit four or five people. Nelis leaned against Salin and looked at the bills on the bed. She asked, "What's this? They don't seem to be worth much. "
"Father's belongings," Salin replied calmly.
"Master, are you sad?" Neris blinked and put her hand on Salin's chest.
"Neris, do you miss home?" Salin pushed Neris's hand away and asked.
"I don't want to," Neris answered simply.
"Why?"
"We can't go back anyway."
Nelis's words almost made Salin cry. He couldn't go back anyway. What a straightforward sentence. What was the difference between him and an enslaved demon? He still had nowhere to go. There was no hope, nor was there a feeling of despair.
Everyone had a family, even Enid. Rex had been away from his father since he was young, but he could come back to see him.
Seeing Salin sad, Neris straightened up and held Salin in her arms. She said softly, "Master, don't be sad. Neris will be with you."
"But you're a demon. The book says that demons always fantasize about their masters suffering misfortune. They want their masters to be lonely and miserable." Salin didn't push Neris away. At this moment, he was a little lost.
"What does it matter? I don't hate you. Even if everyone doesn't care about you, you're still my master. "Neris's eyes were dim, as if she was talking to herself.
"Then do you want freedom?" Salin suddenly asked.
Neris let go of Salin and sat down again, a little dazed.
"If you want freedom …"
"If the contract is broken, I'll eat you first." Neris looked even sadder than Salin. She turned around, bent her knees, and rested her chin on her arms.
"Why?"
"As long as you're alive, I'll never be free. This isn't written in the book, right? "
Salin sighed. It was written in the book. He just wanted to hear if Neris would tell the truth. Neris told the truth, but he wasn't happy at all. As long as he was alive, Neris wouldn't be free.
"Master, don't think about unhappy things. Take that out." Neris pointed at Salin's demonic ring.
"Hmm? You can understand it? "Salin put away the receipt and badge, and took out the demonic magic book.
Neris took the demonic magic book, opened it, and gently read the words on the page. "I said, although I'm just a little demon, my bloodline is very pure. Not every demon can understand the demonic text. "
"What does it say?" Salin was very concerned about the contents of the demonic magic book.
"This is a diary."
"Diary?" Salin was disappointed. Was there something wrong with the demon who wrote this book? Such a precious magic material was used to write a diary?
"The master of this demon was a powerful human who brought him through countless planes. In the fifth abyss plane, they stopped to look for the elves of fire. The elves were protected by the elements. They were like gods, warm abyss … "
Salin slowly calmed down. He followed Neris's reading and walked into the demon's story.
Unlike all the human books that described demons, this demonic magic book was a true portrayal of a demon's heart. This demon worshipped his master very much, and any existence that was disrespectful to his master would be eaten by him. In the plane journey, the demon changed from a warrior who relied on his body to a powerful mage with the ability to manipulate elements. The knowledge he had learned from the various planes was interpreted by him into magic, and he created one strange spell after another.
However, the lifespan of humans was too short. Demons could live for tens of thousands of years, but humans could only live for about three thousand years. In order to let his master live, the demon distorted the plane coordinates and came to the fifth abyss.
"You said that humans can live for three thousand years?" Salin was very surprised. Why could humans live for only a hundred years? Even Magic Shooters could not live for a thousand years.
Neris ignored Salin's question. She flipped through page after page of the black magic book and continued to tell Salin.
The fire elves lived at the bottom of the abyss. Other than various abyssal creatures, they were also protected by the fire element. In the fire of the abyss, the fire element was inexhaustible. The demon and his master could only leave temporarily to study magic against the fire element. All kinds of magic against the fire element were studied, but in the abyss, these magic were only temporary advantages. Only by destroying the abyss could these living fire elements be completely eliminated.
The demon crossed the plane and collected a large number of water elements, condensing them into a never-before-seen magic. The water elements of the entire plane gathered and combined around the demon. The demon looked down from the abyss until the water elements in the plane were exhausted, forming a huge comet and rushing into the abyss.
The huge impact made the abyss collapse, and the two planes connected as one. The fire elves died.
The chaotic elemental storm killed all the creatures in the two planes, and at the same time, destroyed all the plane coordinates. The human and his demon were trapped here. Time passed, and the human aged and died at a hundred times the speed.
The demon was extremely sad. Ten thousand years passed, the elemental storm stopped, and the plane coordinates were restored. The demon came to the Myers Continent, looking for the traces left by his master.
The Myers Continent was so ruthless. The demon stepped on all the land, and everything of his master had died.
The gods were gone, and the soul of his master was nowhere to be found. Resurrection became an extravagant hope. Shouldn't the demon have faith? The sad demon destroyed everything left by his master, and the only thing that accompanied him was the first set of magic equipment that his master prepared for him.
"This is not a story." Neris closed the magic book and said to Salin.
"Maybe. Is there anything written about magic skills in the book?" Salin didn't want to discuss the topic of sadness, and he couldn't understand the demon's sadness. Would the demon fall in love with a human? A human who enslaved him?
"Yes, but you can't learn it."
"Why?"
"It's magic above level ten."
Salin was really disappointed. Magic above level ten was a skill that could fight against the gods. Even the human God of Magic couldn't cast it. The current Myers Continent was not the same as before.
"But this magic book can be used, and it can store six unrestricted magic." Neris closed the demon magic book.
Unrestricted magic referred to compound magic, regardless of the type of element. At the same time, this magic book didn't have a level limit. After a magic was used, another magic could be stored, and it wouldn't form a fixed memory.
Although this kind of magic book was a bit troublesome to use, and the number of magic stored was relatively small, it was enough for Salin.
Other magic books could store 18 magic, and Salin could only use three of them. Even if he mastered the secrets of the elements, he could still activate water magic.
In essence, Salin made water magic have the attributes of the other five magic elements. He didn't really master the six magic elements, but he could understand the principles of all magic.
Understanding didn't mean having it. Magic String determined everything. Before he took the Magic String Potion, he didn't think that he would have to pay such a price. If he didn't have the Goddess' necklace and understand the relationship between elements, he would forever stay at level three, and wouldn't be able to advance in his life.
Salin didn't feel surprised. If a human wanted something, he had to pay the same price. He got the Goddess' necklace, so he must have to pay a price. It was just that Salin had yet to see what he needed to pay in return.
Even if he knew, he couldn't turn back. Could he be willing to be an ordinary mage for the rest of his life?
Salin rubbed the Blessing Ring on his hand, and recalled the process of getting the ring. He still couldn't find any traces of human activity. Making a bet with Baron Minghui was just a temporary trick. But his experience was too strange. This ring could actually guide him into the temple that trapped Neris.
Salin didn't believe that a god that had fallen for tens of thousands of years would have any conspiracy against an orphan like him.
What was there to covet about a person like him?
