Inside the quiet study room.
Sunders quickly wrote down a new chapter on the topic titled "Energy Rules in the Wizarding World and the Energy System of the Dream Wasteland".
He put down his pen and looked at Angor. "You said an apprentice sacrificed a demon?"
Angor nodded. "Not only that, but it's also very likely to be a Fire Rune Demon."
Angor told Sunders about his experience in the Abyss Plane, so Sunders knew that Fire Rune Demons were nobles among demons. When they reached adulthood, they could even reach the level of a supreme demon.
"A Fire Rune Demon and a gourmet apprentice. Interesting combination." Sunders tapped his desk with his knuckles, and the thick pile of papers on his desk disappeared. He stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look."
Angor only came to see Sunders as a safety precaution. After all, there was a Fire Rune Demon behind Azaz's back.
Of course, it would be a different story if the Fire Rune Demon was a supreme demon. However, a supreme demon shouldn't have the time to waste on a gourmet apprentice.
When they arrived at the hall, they saw Greya sitting on a sofa with a gloomy expression. She was holding a glass filled with green liquid. Sherry stood behind Greya and looked at Azaz curiously.
Aziz, on the other hand, was restrained and sat on a chair on the other side. He lowered his head in silence.
He glanced at Shirley, who was trying to act like an ostrich at first and pretend not to see anything. When Angor narrowed his eyes, Sherry sighed and left the hall.
She was really curious about the truth behind all this …
After Sherry left, Angor and Sunders took their seats.
Greya finished her glass in one gulp and exhaled a puff of black smoke and icy mist. "This is the last glass of Ice Baroness Felicia made. I was planning to drink it after I came back from the Nightmare. I didn't expect that I almost fell for it today. I can only drink it in advance. "
"Did you get anything out of her?"
Greya shook her head. "I didn't have time to ask. I was too busy trying to get this body to work."
Greya looked at Azaz. Aziz was obviously nervous, especially when he recognized that the man in the black gentleman suit was Saunders. His legs were already trembling.
"It's your turn to speak. You said before that you haven't danced with demons. I'm sure you know the consequences of sacrificing a demon. " Greya sneered. "You better explain yourself. You know what's going to happen to you."
Maybe it was because of the Ice Baroness, Greya's anger had subsided a little. She sounded much calmer than before.
After a long period of silence, Azaz finally spoke slowly, "I'm from Vinsbyers …"
Once, Vinespears was a supernatural city that was as famous as Floating Mech City. However, after the "Bloody Night Butcher" incident two thousand years ago, Vinespears lost its glory overnight. Although things were slowly improving now, it was still incomparable to the past. Unlike Floating Mech City, Vinespears had a large number of wandering wizards, which meant that the city was more free and undisciplined. This caused Vinsbeers to be constantly on the verge of chaos.
In recent years, "Voidwalker" Aesop settled down in Vinespears, which helped the city to calm down a little.
Azaz was born in the new era after Aesop's arrival.
Since he was born in Supernatural City, he had been exposed to the wizarding world since he was a child. However, his parents were mortals, so he never had the chance to test his talent. When he was 15, he met a man who came to Vinespears to recover from an injury.
The man was called Toubal, who claimed to be a wandering cook.
Asaz had inherited his father's tavern, and under the circumstances where business was not doing well, he had become Toubauer's disciple by chance, learning how to cook and run a tavern.
After interacting with Toubal, he found out that Toubal was a Gourmet Wizard.
Since Azaz was recognized as a gourmet, Toubal accepted him as his student. Toubal treated Azaz well. However, Azaz did not agree with Toubal's idea of making Gluttons. At that time, Azaz did not know that Toubal had already fallen from grace.
It was only when Toubal's body was about to disintegrate that Azaz learned the truth.
Toubal came to Vinespears to recover from his injury. Azaz did not know what kind of injury he was recovering from, but it was a fact that Toubal's body was always weak and he often vomited blood. Toubal also made all sorts of healing Gluttons, but they were all useless.
When Toubal felt that there was no hope for him, he told Azaz the truth.
Toubal came from the Northern Territory, a wizarding world that was infinitely far away from the Southern Territory. He was attacked by a group of wizards because he sacrificed a demon. He escaped with injuries, and under the guidance of a demon, he secretly came to the Southern Territory from the abyss.
When Toubal told his story, he was full of hatred for the wizards who attacked him. He glorified himself as a pitiful person who was suppressed because his ideas were questioned. But Aziz knew exactly what the truth was.
Before Toubal died, he asked Azaz to accept his ideas, but Azaz refused. Toubal was angry, but he was already on the verge of losing his mind. He did not want to kill this student of his for years, so he said, "You can choose not to accept my ideas, but you have to help me sacrifice a demon. Otherwise, once I die, my soul will be devoured by the demon. "
Azaz did not want to see Toubal's soul fall, so he agreed to Toubal's request after some hesitation.
He continued to sacrifice to the demon, and that demon was Sebastian.
"What about Toubal's soul?" Greya asked.
Azaz remained silent for a moment. "My teacher lied to me. He already signed a contract with the demon. When he died, his soul would belong to the demon. Even if I continued to sacrifice to the demon, his soul would still be devoured by the demon. "
However, Azaz had already started to sacrifice to the demon. Even if Toubal's soul was devoured, he could not save himself from the demon.
When Azaz was collecting Toubal's belongings, he found more than 200 human skeletons in Toubal's basement. They were all killed by Toubal and sacrificed to the demon.
Looking at the piles of white bones, Azaz trembled at the thought of them being used as food to sacrifice to the demons. He was haunted by nightmares for several months.
From then on, Azaz swore that he would never use humans as food for the demon.
Even when Sebastian tried all kinds of ways to tempt Azaz and even changed his surname so that he could gain more power, Azaz still did not relent.
This was his belief, and it had been going on ever since.
Azaz's story was finished. Angor was sure that he did not tell the truth, but he believed it to be true.
Also, Azaz's story explained why the demon he sacrificed knew how to turn humans into food for the demon. It was not Azaz who taught him this. It was his teacher, Toubal who taught him this.
He looked at Greya for her opinion, but the woman seemed to be thinking about something.
He then looked at Sunders through their Spirit Bond. "Do you think Azaz is telling the truth?"
"Yes," Sunders answered without hesitation.
Demon energy could hide from detection spells. However, Sunders could clearly sense that there was no such thing on Azaz. In fact, Sunders could even see the outline of the demon through Azaz's eyes.
