Roy was now a hundred percent sure that Lucius's soul was indeed transforming into a higher quality. Even though Lucius was still alive, Roy, a demon, could smell the fragrance of his soul through his body.
Smelling this fragrance, Roy's mouth was already full of saliva, and his body's instinct was telling him, Hurry! Quickly seize this soul!
However, Roy's rationality told him, No! It's not time yet! He still needed Lucius as his contractor, and his soul had not reached its most mellow state yet!
It was precisely because he was attracted by the smell of the soul that Roy looked at Lucius with a hungry gaze. When Lucius met Roy's gaze, he almost peed in his pants. He felt as though he was being stared at by some ferocious and dangerous beast. It was an instinctive warning from his sixth sense.
Therefore, he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but Roy reached out and grabbed him, pulling him closer.
"What are you afraid of?" Roy asked, narrowing his eyes.
"No … nothing!" Lucius denied, but he had to admit that he was regretting it a little now because he found that making a deal with a demon was more terrifying than he had imagined!
However, Roy now perfectly interpreted what a demon was. He laughed heartily and said in a low voice, as though he had read Lucius's mind, "Do you think you can still turn back now? It's useless. After signing the contract, your body is already stained with the aura of a demon. In the eyes of the church, you're as dazzling as a firefly in the night! "
Lucius's psychological defense collapsed in an instant.
In fact, he did not know that Roy was simply fooling him. The aura of a demon might be real, but he did not know if the people of the church were that powerful.
Seeing Lucius become dispirited, Roy snorted. "Don't worry. Maybe demons are really evil, but in fact, demons are more observant of contracts than you think. Since you summoned me and made a contract, I will definitely execute it!"
With that, he let go of Lucius and kindly stretched out his claws to tidy Lucius's collar. However, the cold, sharp claws might have given Lucius a poor user experience. This guy's eyes kept following the movement of Roy's claws in fear …
"You offered me four souls so quickly. You did well!" Roy smiled. "Then, I won't be stingy with giving you a reward!"
While speaking, Roy opened the system interface.
Roy did not know how other demons fulfilled the wishes of their contractors, but he guessed that low-rank demons who did not know how to use magic would usually use violence to solve problems. But Roy was different. He had an alternative solution.
In the system interface, Roy casually drew a test tube, drew the liquid surface, and then began to define the potion in the test tube.
He defined it as: [Weight Loss Potion], [Fast Burning Ten Kilograms of Fat]!
The definition of such a potion was very simple, and it did not require much soul power to exchange for it. Under Lucius's gaze, Roy casually sketched and pointed in the air with his finger. Not long after, a test tube appeared in his hand.
And the test tube seemed to contain a water-like liquid … Yes, Roy did not even bother to color it, nor did it have any taste. He just handed it to Lucius.
"Drink it!" Roy said. "This thing can let you live longer!"
Lucius held the test tube and hesitated whether he should believe it or not. But seeing Roy staring at him, he could only raise his head and gulp down the liquid.
Lucius smacked his lips. He could not taste anything and was puzzled. The next second, his body suddenly felt a strong burning sensation. He did not know what was happening and screamed in panic.
In fact, it was just his calories burning …
After screaming for a while, Lucius found that he did not feel any pain, but his whole body was drenched in sweat. When the burning sensation disappeared, he suddenly found that his body had become much more relaxed, and he felt a sense of relief. It was as though he had become younger!
Lucius immediately became excited. He touched his body in disbelief and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god! Did … did my life increase? "
"That's right!" Roy said condescendingly. "You offer your soul, and I grant you lifespan. It's a fair deal, isn't it?"
"Yes! Yes! "Lucius nodded excitedly." It's really fair! "
Roy looked as though it was a trivial matter, but he sighed in his heart. Lucius was too gullible!
The setting of this world was around the end of the nineteenth century, when science had just begun to sprout. Thus, Lucius did not know what human medicine was, let alone that obesity was his biggest enemy. Roy swallowed a tube of weight-loss medicine, allowing him to quickly burn off ten kilograms of fat, and he immediately lost a lot of weight. This reduced the burden on his heart, blood vessels, and even his entire body. This made him feel 'relaxed', and he even mistook this feeling for an increase in his lifespan.
Hmm … it was not a mistake. Losing weight could indeed allow him to live a few more years …
Giving Lucius a little benefit made him more determined to make a deal with the demon. The reason why Roy did this was naturally because of Lucius's soul. This was the first soul that Roy had encountered that was about to become a high-quality soul, so how could he let it go so easily? Since he guessed that Lucius's soul evolution was the reason for his fall, Roy naturally wanted to continue the process of Lucius's fall.
And because of the benefits of sacrificing souls, Lucius would become even more fanatical about collecting souls … As for how to collect them? Hmph, of course, by killing people. Roy had already thought of it for him. Anyway, there are vampires in this town, so can't I just throw the blame to the vampires?
Sigh, I'm becoming worse and worse! Just as Roy sighed, he suddenly came back to his senses. That's not right. I'm a demon now. According to the standards of demons, I should be getting better and better!
At this moment, Roy suddenly heard a shrill cry in the distance. He looked back and saw a bat-like flying creature breaking through the thick, dark fog in the distant sky.
As a demon, Roy had night vision and could clearly see things in a dark environment. The moment this bat-like flying creature broke through the fog, Roy saw a dark castle-like shadow behind it.
Although Lucius could not see it, he heard the roar. He immediately trembled and panicked. "Vampires! Vampires! They're out looking for food! "
No, I have to hide at home quickly! While Lucius was thinking this, Roy held him down. "What are you panicking for? You're under the protection of a demon now. How can vampires touch you?"
"Yes … Yes!" Lucius came to his senses and immediately became bolder.
In fact, he could not be blamed. The small town of Transylvania had been under the shadow of vampires for many years, so the people in the town had long formed a conditioned reflex of fear, especially Lucius. As the mayor of this town, he could not lead the townspeople to resist the attacks of the vampires. As time passed, even the townspeople became very resistant to him, which deepened his sense of powerlessness against the vampires. If not for this, why would he have thought of using such an extreme method as seeking help from a demon?
Roy pointed in the direction where the vampire flew out and asked Lucius, "Is that direction the castle where the vampires are?"
"Yes!" Lucius quickly nodded. "Dracula and his bride are entrenched there. Everyone in the town knows about this castle, but except for the Villelis family, no one dares to approach it …"
"You go back first. I'll go to the castle to take a look!" Roy let go of him, and the demon wings on his back suddenly spread out, creating a gust of wind as he flew into the sky.
