"You don't seem to want me to take part in the challenge?" Allen raised his eyebrows as he sensed Bair's true emotions. Thinking back to the devil's behavior earlier, he must have left some clues behind on purpose so that Allen would choose not to take part in the final challenge.
"Why would I? But it's getting late, and I never work overtime!" Bair laughed.
"I'm a perfectionist, and I don't want to miss the last match and leave behind regrets. Therefore, I want to take part in the challenge and make a wish to you. "
"Very good. Then what's your wish?" Bair stared into Allen's eyes and revealed an evil smile. He no longer concealed his viciousness.
"My wish is that you can't fulfill my wish." Allen looked back at him fearlessly, and said his answer calmly.
Bair stood rooted to the ground. He carefully chewed on every word Allen said, trying to find a loophole in it so that he could take revenge.
He raised his finger, looking a little angry out of humiliation.
Allen looked at him calmly, unmoved.
Bair wailed, and his body twisted. He slowly turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared on the spot.
"He's really Ravenclaw to be able to toy with the devil in the palm of his hand." The little warlocks in the spectator's seat heaved a sigh of relief.
Even Professor Mag, who had always been stern, relaxed, and nodded approvingly.
As for Professor Fleevy, he was actually secretly wiping away the tears at the corner of his eyes. He was so worried that his favorite student would be hurt.
But very soon, some of the warlocks in the excited crowd calmed down. The devil who had fooled and hurt Krum and Carla didn't even have time to say a word before he turned into black smoke and was banished back to hell because of Allen's wish? Allen Harris was actually more cunning than the devil! They then thought of how Fang Xingjian had used all sorts of powerful black magic without any qualms in the previous few competitions, as well as the speculations in the newspapers. This made them feel a little creeped out.
Some of the wizards who were familiar with Allen thought about the devil's piano skills and the hair color of his lovers. It just so happened that Allen Harris was also very good at the piano and had an ambiguous relationship with the witches with the same hair color. Even the way he spoke to them was always so gentle and elegant. Could it be that his usual friendliness was also to hide some unspeakable secret?
In that instant, they felt that Allen was even more terrifying than a demon.
Just when everyone thought that the dust had settled, the ground began to shake. In the center of the room, the empty air suddenly began to burn. Then, two flames began to move in an arc from top to bottom. Countless skulls that seemed to be screaming silently appeared after being burned. When the flames finally converged into a huge circle, a tall arch made of skulls appeared in front of everyone.
Allen, who was next to the circle, observed that what was revealed was a scorched wasteland full of gravel. The mountains and the sloping hills on the side broke the monotonous landscape. The air was filled with blood-red light, and fireballs danced in the air, sometimes producing a terrifying explosion effect.
Below the distant hillside, a moat full of blood surrounded a city wall that covered more than a dozen square miles. There were twelve concentric rings of city walls. Each ring had a huge war machine erected, a huge fortress made of bronze, and finally converged into a wide river filled with black water in the distance.
Bair walked out from inside, but he looked a little disheveled. Light smoke rose from his clothes, bringing with it a strong smell of sulfur. He looked at Allen next to him and grumbled, "This deal with you guys is a big loss. I even had to pay for the transportation fee to open the Otherworld Gate. You should know that it's not as simple as being summoned by you guys to come here."
"Ahem … Let's get back to the topic. Warriors Allen, you got six wizard gems before this. Each gem is worth ten points, which is sixty points. You got forty points from me, a total of one hundred points. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that I don't have the authority, I would have given you extra points for your final performance. From my thousands of years of contact with the wizards in your world, other than my old friend, you are the only wizard with such wisdom. "
Bair's expression was serious as he calculated Allen's points and chatted. But at the same time, a vague, low male voice sounded in Allen's mind, "Allen Harris, I'm Bair. Please forgive me for not being able to talk to you in this way. Hmm? So you haven't learned this kind of communication technique? Don't worry, you are a master of brain sealing. Unless you want to, even I can't detect what you are thinking. But when you want to talk to me, please open up your brain a little. "
Allen's expression didn't change. He opened up part of his brain and thought, "What do you want?"
In his mind, Allen was constantly speculating about the purpose of the devil. Allen felt that he might have some idea.
"Mr. Allen Harris, I beg you, please don't speak of the wish you just made. If other wizards hear it and spread it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us demons to do business. For this, I am willing to give you some knowledge in exchange, some magical knowledge that only high-ranking demons know. " Byron's voice sounded not only sincere, but also pitiful as he proposed the conditions of exchange.
"Are there any hidden dangers in the magical knowledge that only high-ranking demons have? Can you guarantee that non-demons can use this knowledge and successfully cast these spells? "Allen tried to relax the brain sealing spell for a few seconds and transmitted his thoughts.
But he was a little curious. His wish was only to protect the person who made the wish from being misunderstood when forced to make a wish. But wizards who really made deals with demons generally made wishes with various motives. Logically speaking, the impact on their so-called "business" shouldn't be as serious as what Byron said. Besides, why did this devil directly tell him the bargaining chip at the beginning of the negotiation? Was there any problem with the knowledge, or was there a hidden danger, or was it that humans couldn't use it?
So Allen tried to test the waters and added, "But I ask that I can tell this wish to the people I care about. You know, to ensure that they have a way to protect themselves when they are harassed by your colleagues."
"Ah, what an insecure guest. How sad. I thought we got along well and started to trust each other more or less. Other than your family, I can give you 13 people who can know this secret. But you have to make sure that they have made an unbreakable oath with you, or you have to sign a Devil's Contract with them after you learn the Devil's Contract to ensure that they will not tell anyone else." Bair pretended to be troubled. He paused for a moment, "Also, I can guarantee that this is all knowledge that you human Magi can use. For example, using the power of Baator can give your spells additional soul damage. This power will allow your spells to have a normal effect on dementors, or even eliminate these annoying things."
Bair paused for a moment, giving Allen some time to think. He then continued, "I can also tell you how to use the power of the laws of Baator to sign a powerful contract. This is much more convenient than those unbreakable oaths that you have that require a third party to be a witness. Uh, I think you know what I mean, right? "
"As for the hidden dangers, there are some spells that summon devils that are dangerous when cast by you mortals. It doesn't matter if you use the Otherworld Oath to summon a small army of low-ranked devils, or if you use the Otherworld Gate to summon a pit fiend. The moment they arrive in this world, you will have to go through a battle of wills with them in order to gain control of them. After all, this is different from the low-level summoning methods that we spread in the Magus World for the sake of profit, which require large amounts of time and sacrifices. However, I believe that this won't be a problem for a Magus like you who has been strengthened by attribute potions and a strong will. "
