The imp collapsed. It knew that this human youth was indeed evil. He didn't give it a chance at all. He must be a demon expert. Otherwise, he wouldn't know the weaknesses of demons so well.
"Sir, don't. I-I'll do it myself!"
Salin gently pulled his finger out of the hole on the imp's forehead. He sucked the blood on his finger and nodded in satisfaction. "Seems like you've become more sensible. Let's start now. I'm in a hurry."
The imp helplessly began to chant the demon language. Salin didn't know much about this language. Although Jason had a lot of books on magic and languages, he didn't have a systematic demonic language. The demon language existed in some summoning spells. Salin's level was still low, so he couldn't learn summoning spells. Moreover, his learning direction was a bit off. Even if he became an Archmage, he probably wouldn't have the desire to learn summoning spells.
The imp's expression became solemn. A circular magic symbol appeared on its forehead. As the rhythm of the incantation quickened, it gradually became clearer.
Although it was a humiliating contract, it was also a contract that it would entrust its life to. The imp carefully described the meaning of the contract. It didn't know that Salin knew nothing about the demon language.
Salin used the spider's claw to pierce a small hole on his left index finger. A drop of blood seeped out. Then, he pointed at the circular magic symbol on the imp's forehead.
Salin felt something was wrong the moment he pointed. His finger was like metal attracted by a huge magnet. It stuck to the imp's forehead. The circular magic symbol was like a black hole. It sucked the flesh from his wound and devoured it desperately.
The circular magic symbol became full in the blink of an eye. It became bright and bright red. Salin's entire left hand shriveled up. It was grey like the claw of an undead creature. At the same time, Salin felt a violent turbulence in the depths of his soul. It was as if a door had been opened. He didn't need to use his eyes to feel the emotions of the imp.
Salin didn't get angry. He pulled his hand back and looked at the imp quietly.
The little demon almost burst into tears. It explained in fear, "My Lord, this … it's because you're too weak. No, no, no, I mean, my body is too … "
Salin saw the red magic symbol on the imp's forehead seep into its skin. The circular hole disappeared. It seemed to have been filled by its own flesh.
"Is it damage sharing?" Salin asked.
"No, my lord. This is the condition of the contract. It will only happen when we sign the contract. It won't happen again! "The little demon tried to explain in a way that Salin could understand.
"Soul contract?" Salin smiled. It was just a left hand. If he used the Restoration Water to nurse it every day, it would recover in half a year at most. He might not be able to cast spells with both hands during this period of time, but the price was worth it. He had gained the loyalty of a demon.
This was a demon with a pure bloodline. After the collapse of the Fourth Dynasty, there was no news of any Magician possessing a demon.
The effect of the soul contract manifested itself at this time. Salin did not doubt the little demon's loyalty. He retracted his left hand into his sleeve and said nonchalantly, "Get up, I'll get you something to eat."
The little devil heaved a sigh of relief. This master was not bad. He did not vent his anger on her. Salin took out a piece of jerky from his leather bag and threw it to the little demon. The little demon swallowed it without chewing.
Salin still had many questions in his mind, but he didn't know where to start. He raised his head and said to the people on the platform, "Come down, it's settled here."
Even if Cang Hong and Sarah were angry, they could not explode at this time. Salin had already subdued the demon, and Sicar was stronger than them, so they could only swallow their anger.
Sicar rushed down the stairs and came to Salin's side. She rolled up Salin's sleeve and saw Salin's withered left hand. Her eyes turned red. She took the stick from her back and was about to hit the little demon.
She was not as crude as she appeared. Caucasians were not stupid. Salin reached out to stop Sicar and whispered, "It's okay, you can recover. Don't let Cang Hong and the others see you as a joke."
"Okay." Sicar put away her weapon and stared at the little demon fiercely. The little demon ate a piece of jerky, but it did not help at all. It had been without food for more than a hundred years. Even if you gave it a mountain monster, it would still eat it. Seeing Sicar staring at it, it lowered its head and thought fiercely, When master is not paying attention, I will …
The little demon thought randomly. It also knew that it was not possible. The woman who was staring at it seemed to have a good relationship with its master. If it ate her, it would be in big trouble. Its eyes looked around and suddenly saw a few small things on the stairs. It flicked its tail and crawled over. It got closer and sniffed, feeling that it could be eaten.
These fist-sized things were Diascara, which had been sucked into the magic circle with Salin and the others. They were wrapped in Salin's Water Pattern Shield and fell into this space together. Diascara would go into hibernation once it left the water. Their shells would be completely sealed until a large amount of water appeared. Then they would wake up.
This kind of magic beast had very strong endurance and could even survive in the desert. A rain could wake them up.
The little demon held Diascara with both hands and looked at Salin. Seeing that Salin was not paying attention to it, the little demon immediately used its sharp teeth to bite open Diascara's shell and began to suck the flesh inside. Its slender tongue had sharp thorns. It stirred the shell a few times and absorbed all the flesh.
The poor Level Five magic beast was eaten by a little demon while it was in hibernation.
With a crunch, the little demon spat out the chewed Magic Core from its mouth. It felt the power contained in the Magic Core. It threw the Magic Core back into its mouth, ground it with its teeth and swallowed it. Then it held the second one.
A total of five Diascara were brought into this space. The little demon carefully took out the Magic Cores of the other four. After swallowing the flesh and blood, it felt that its strength had recovered a little. It then returned to Salin and held the four Magic Cores with both hands. It was only a little demon. Directly swallowing the Magic Cores had little effect. It was purely a waste. If it offered this to its master, its master would be happy and would not abuse it.
The little demon's understanding of humans was still at the level of tens of thousands of years ago. Tens of thousands of years ago, a little demon of its level was not even qualified to be enslaved. If Salin did not want it now, it would be bound by the soul contract and become an incorporeal demon, which was even lower than a familiar.
"You are sensible." Salin touched the little demon's head and accepted the four Level Five Magic Cores. The value of a Level Five Magic Core was very high. This small one was worth more than a thousand.
"Wizard Merlin, this is the ruins. What should we do?" Cang Hong did not dare to act rashly. He was really afraid that Salin would turn against him.
Salin thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry. We, the people of Scochenya, respect contracts the most. Since you hired me, I won't keep this wealth to myself. "
Seeing Cang Hong's uneasy expression, Salin smiled. "This ruins is very big. How much can I take away alone? Without you, I wouldn't be able to come here. Cang Hong, not everyone is like the Vulture Mercenary Team. "
Cang Hong looked at Salin who was half a head shorter than him and felt a pang of sadness. For the sake of this ruins, most of his brothers and sisters had died. Only Sarah was left. This was the life of a mercenary. There were not many good endings. He could only hope that what this little Wizard said was true. After exploring the ruins and making a fortune, he would find a way to send it back to Scochenya so that the families of his dead companions would not be poor for the rest of their lives.
"You guys take a break. I'll ask about the specific situation in the ruins." Salin said and began to communicate with Imp.
Imp did not know the history of this ruins. He only remembered that it was captured by a few humans across dimensions. There were many Great Demons who were captured together. He was not valued and was not bound by the Thunder Chains. After coming to this dimension, the humans who captured them seemed to have been attacked. Then, all the demons were rescued and placed in this dimension.
After that, they were imprisoned for a long time. This dimension was originally an underground cave, but it was gradually transformed. It seemed that the people who rescued the demons wanted to build an underground temple.
Later, the demons realized that they were not rescued. The people who built the temple did not remove the Thunder Chains on them. It seemed that they were too lazy to enslave them, so they did not force the demons to work.
About four thousand years later, the temple was completed, and these humans disappeared.
From then on, the demons had no guarantee of survival and began to devour each other. This was not a rare thing in the Demonic Dimension. Because Imp was not bound by the Thunder Chains and had a small body, no powerful demons came to find trouble with him in the beginning.
Later, as the number of demons decreased, Imp began to hide everywhere. Fortunately, the Great Demons were bound by the Thunder Chains and could not move freely, so his life was not in danger.
After about ten thousand years, the demons devoured each other completely. After the last few demons starved to death, Imp survived by eating the corpses of the Great Demons.
At this time, Imp was still looking forward to the return of humans. He turned into the appearance of the Great Demon Bafendir and hoped that the humans who returned would like him, so that he would not starve to death here. Unfortunately, the humans did not appear. After eating all the food, Imp could only fall into a deep sleep and try to delay as much as possible.
When he was awakened, the first thing he saw was Salin, the weak human Magician. Imp did not understand why this human was so weak, even weaker than a tamed monster. That was why he dared to scare Salin.
Unfortunately, Salin's courage was a hundred times greater than his strength. Imp's plan failed. After tens of thousands of years of abuse, he was filled with fear of humans. After two or three rounds, Salin subdued him.
Salin did not get any useful information out of him, so he asked one last question. "Then, I want to know your name."
