Suhlen had arranged for the members of the Church of the Soul Snatchers to stay in Harvest City. Phyllis had sent many of her men there, including a few high-ranking members of the Church of the Soul Snatchers.
Since Suhlen wanted to deal with the demons, it was necessary for him to learn more about the situation from these high-ranking members of the Church of the Soul Snatchers.
"Sir, the members of the Church of the Soul Snatchers have arrived. Are you ready to meet them now?" a servant asked respectfully in the study.
Suhlen nodded and put down the documents. "Let them in."
"Please wait a moment." The servant bowed and took two steps back before leaving.
Soon, two middle-aged men were brought in by the guards.
"Your Majesty, they are here!"
"Understood. You may leave." Suhlen nodded at the guard.
After the door to the study closed, Su Lun looked at the two higher-ups of the Church of the Soul Snatchers. Both of them were in their forties, and their hair was neatly combed. Their eyes were deep and lustrous, and they had a scholarly aura. They looked like scholars. No one would have thought that these two were actually cultists, and cultists who dared to scheme against Abyssal Demons and Demon Gods.
"Now that you have acknowledged Hathaway as your master, I will not pursue the matter from before. But without my orders, you are not to perform any sacrificial rituals for demons and demons," Suhlen said in a low voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The two men did not hesitate. After all, Phyllis had already told them to do so.
"By the way, other than the method you used last time, do you have any other way to summon a demon?" Suhlen asked.
"You mean we don't have to perform a blood sacrifice to summon a demon?" the tall, skinny middle-aged man asked.
"Yes." Suhlen nodded.
"We do, but we need something else as a sacrifice." The man glanced at Su Lun and said embarrassedly, "Ordinary intermediate demons have to pay intermediate soul crystals, while higher demons have to pay advanced soul crystals. Also, we don't know which demon will be summoned. We need to see which demon responds to the summoning circle to summon it. This kind of summoning has a time limit. When the time is up, they will return to the abyss. "
"As expected." Suhlen was a little disappointed. These people used to be in the blood sacrifice business. They had never studied normal summoning spells.
However, this was within his expectations. Next, Suhlen asked about the Church of Soul Snatchers' methods of worshipping demons and evil gods. Then, he waved his hand and dismissed them.
Suhlen did not find a simpler way to summon demons. The price of using blood sacrifice was too high, and he did not intend to use this method. He could only put this problem aside for the time being.
"Maybe I can do it again like how I trained the kobolds?" Suhlen thought to himself. "I wonder if those demons are picky. If they don't like the flesh and soul of the kobolds, then this sacrifice would have been for nothing."
After thinking about it for a long time, Suhlen finally decided to give it a try on a small scale. It was better to leave it to the Spirit Snatchers. After all, they were professionals.
If he could not rely on blood sacrifice to summon demons, he would have to go to the abyss himself if he wanted to obtain a large number of soul crystals. Suhlen was very curious about the abyss. After all, although it was a dangerous place, it was also rich in resources. Many legendary wizards and other legendary powerhouses would travel to the abyss.
The first layer of the abyss was the Ten Thousand Abyss Plain. It was the closest to the material plane and bordered the hell of Baator. Since ancient times, the war here had never stopped. Every once in a while, the demons would launch a bloody battle to attack the demon fortress.
Many Legendary Demons had been honed in these bloody battles. Suhlen was now an advanced legendary. It was not difficult to go to the abyss. As long as he did not provoke the demon lords, he would not be in any danger.
After hesitating for a while, Suhlen decided to go to the abyss. After all, he was preparing to build the steel golem production line. He needed a large number of high-grade soul crystals. If he wanted to obtain a large number of soul crystals, the abyss was the easiest place. In fact, soul crystals were the currency in inter-plane transactions.
Small transactions would use gold and jewels, but large transactions would usually use soul crystals.
There were many planar merchants in the multiverse. These merchants formed caravans and traded with each other in various planes. The basic currency they used was soul crystals. Of course, if they didn't have soul crystals, they could also use other precious materials to exchange for them.
For example, high-quality magic gems, earth crystals, natural divine crystals, and other precious materials. The most valuable thing was divinity. Yes, divinity could also be traded, but basically, they would only buy and not sell.
Although there were many Dimensional Merchants, it wasn't easy to meet one. After all, there were too many dimensions in the Astral Plane. If it wasn't for the fact that your dimension was very prosperous and had a glorious arcane civilization, Dimensional Merchants were very rare. After all, it was easier to get good things by trading with these prosperous planes.
Of course, if they encountered a more primitive plane, these plane merchants would be happy to trade with those people. This primitive plane had not been developed, and it was very likely to produce some precious materials. They would often pay a small price to obtain a large number of precious materials.
The arcane civilization of the plane Suhlen was in could only be said to be average, and there were very few plane merchants coming to patronize.
After patrolling around the secret realm and finding no problems, Suhlen went to the Wizard Tower to look for Hathaway. He still had to be careful when going to the Bottomless Abyss. He planned to ask Hathaway to help him teleport there and set the return waymark at the same time.
It was better to be careful when going to the Bottomless Abyss for the first time.
"You're going to the Bottomless Abyss?" Hathaway looked at Suhlen in surprise.
"Yes!" Suhlen nodded, then leaned on the sofa next to him.
"There are demons everywhere. It's very dangerous," Hathaway reminded him.
"I've already learned about the Bottomless Abyss before coming here. I know what's going on there." Suhlen said seriously, "Many legendary masters will travel to the Bottomless Abyss. I'm now a high-level legend, so it's not very dangerous for me. Besides, if it's really dangerous, I'll teleport back directly."
"Okay, I'll help you teleport there." Hathaway shook her head helplessly. She knew that it was difficult to change Suhlen's decision. She could only help him prepare.
"Keep a low profile when you go to the Bottomless Abyss. There are no rules there. The bigger fist is the law," Hathaway reminded him.
Suhlen got up and walked over. He stretched out his arm and hugged Hathaway directly. "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
"Then I'll set up the teleportation circle for you." Hathaway kissed Suhlen on the cheek, then got up and began to prepare.
Entering the Bottomless Abyss required the use of plane teleportation, which was very simple for Hathaway. Before this, the two had already entered the Astral Plane and the Fire Elemental Plane. Setting up this kind of plane teleportation was completed very quickly.
Suhlen stood on a runic array, and Hathaway made some adjustments again before saying, "Get ready, we'll start."
"Okay." Suhlen nodded.
"Remember to keep a low profile. If there's a problem, immediately teleport back. Don't try to be brave," Hathaway reminded again.
"Don't worry, I won't take the risk. I can't bear to part with you guys," Suhlen said with a smile.
Hathaway rolled her eyes at him. "Sweet talker."
"Okay, I'll try to operate it first!" Hathaway said as she opened the energy channel. The runic array slowly lit up.
After seeing that the teleportation circle was working properly, Heather gestured to Suhlen. "Get ready!"
"Activate!" A dazzling light rose up. The light from the teleportation circle shot into the sky. A wave of spatial fluctuation came. The next second, the teleportation light disappeared with Suhlen's figure in an instant from the wizard tower.
Dark clouds rolled in the dim yellow sky. The ground was full of stones, and the air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur. Some ferocious-looking plants grew sparsely around. Barrenness, drought, and chaos represented everything here.
There were very few living things here, and animals were even rarer. Occasionally, a mouse would run out of those ferocious vines and quickly disappear. The animals here had been demonized. Even the mice had dark red eyes and sharp fangs. They were very aggressive.
A Dretch was hiding in the weeds. Its prey was an abyss lizard. Food was very scarce in this desolate land, so it had to be careful. The lizard did not realize that danger was coming. It lay motionless on the rock. Its yellow scales were its best camouflage. Its two eyes were constantly looking around. It was looking for prey.
At this moment, on the other side of the mound, a Dretch was quietly approaching. Soon, when it was less than a meter away, the Dretch suddenly rushed over and grabbed the lizard that was trying to escape.
The Dretch was very excited. It grabbed a stone and smashed the lizard to death. Then it began to eat. At this time, a light suddenly fell from the sky, and then a figure appeared in this desolate world.
"This is the Abyss? It's really bad. "Suhlen looked around and said.
Seeing the appearance of a human, the Dretch was slightly stunned. In its inherited memory, this creature seemed to be called human. Their flesh and soul were very delicious, and they were very weak. The Dretch quickly swallowed the lizard, grabbed a rusty blade next to it, and rushed towards the human.
"The welcome ceremony of the Abyss is a bit special!" Seeing the Dretch rushing over, Suhlen smirked and waved his hand gently. A green wind blade instantly formed, then flew over. Blood splashed everywhere. The Dretch was directly cut in half by the wind blade.
