„?” Pollack is looking at the parchment in hand, is unable to restrain sends out doubts, this magic ceremony was too inexplicable, was too simple and was too funny, simply like the game that the children play!
Can this also summon the most powerful devil?
As one of the sacred Haierzi empire oldest families, the scoparius family collected numerous magic materials, when lets the member goes out the risk and going on patrol mainland, facing the magic is insufficiently helpless, moreover hearsay their families were ancient Shirvan Nurse magic empire „the sun king” Thanos's bloodlines descendant!
Therefore, even if Pollack magic, will not understand to contemplate, still still has the understanding of base to the magic ceremony, he has never seen such bewildered ceremony process, may during is simply funny, as if can feel faintly strangeness that being hard word sues, the back as if really hidden is not being able to depend on the mysticalness of person.
Silent more than ten minutes, Pollack thought aloud, like inflating to oneself: „Prepared to work out the contract in any case, tried this ceremony not to relate, if were useless, when was played tricks on, no loss, if can summon, that......”
His fist grips tightly, the expression twists, look discloses the obvious hope, anticipation and tyranny.
Raised the head, sees the mechanical clock to aim quickly 11:30, Pollack hurries to set out to seek for the white candle, mirror, apple and knife.
May be anxious, matter seems not smooth, after dozen minutes, Pollack found a mirror and knife, the white candle and apple does not know „hiding” to where.
At this time, Pollack regretted oneself disbanded all servants, gave them a day of leave, which one this aristocrat master usually looked for the thing with oneself!
Thinks that will soon miss 12 : 00 o'clock at night, thoughts of Pollack fan slap in the face had, he is so impatient, does not want to wait till the tomorrow's midnight.
Pollack is sweating. Found the white candle and apple in the kitchen with great difficulty.
Which quarter, Pollack has not liked about these two ordinary things like the present, feels heartfeltly joyfully.
Returned to the study room hurriedly, Pollack blew out other candles, only keeps a candlestick in hand to illuminate shortly, then draws in the window curtains, suspends the mirror, candle, apple and knife.
Then looked at the time, sees only misses for two minutes to 12 : 00 o'clock at night, Pollack hurries to scatter half long golden color hair, dishevelled just like reciting Poet roaming evil sorceress in story.
Completes all these. Pollack calmly sits behind the desk, is waiting for oncoming of time, suddenly he remembers the incident. Immediately is anxious: „Can mechanical clock not be accurate? Can miss 12 : 00 o'clock at night?”
This old stupid bell on the slow several minutes, has to ask the clock and watch worker to come frequently to correct fixedly, but now also do not have the standard time to compare!
Pulls out the pocket watch, after the acknowledging time has no difference, Pollack starts to suspect accuracy that own pocket watch. Although he knows that 12 : 00 o'clock at night refer to 12 points to 1 : 00 am these days, rather than narrow at exactly 12 : 00, but always cannot bear be worried that this is worried about that is swayed by personal gains and losses.
Hopes is bigger, the intense feeling is also naturally stronger!
Tick-tock the indicator tictac is exceptionally obvious at the peaceful night, moreover as if gets up with Pollack's heartbeat resonance. Make him feel that the heart soon jumped from the chest cavity, the blood flows crazily, a frontal eminence drum bulge.
When. 12 : 00 o'clock at night resounds lowly, Pollack's back stretches subconsciously straight, hurries to blow out the candlestick, was thrown into confusion almost breaks off the white candle lit the candlelight.
The pale yellow ray appears under the mirror reflection dark and absent-minded, kept jumping is similar to hid the innumerable devils in the shadow.
In addition at night is jet black. The room is airtight, the atmosphere becomes immediately strange and terrifying. Pollack hit to tremble gently, somewhat believes that this magic ceremony was not practical joke.
Swallowed two saliva, Pollack took up the azure apple and knife with both hands that shivered slightly, started to peel.
Although has never truncated the fruit skin, but Pollack good and evil also has the strength of senior knight aide, the control to both hands is good, even if the movement is clumsy, almost truncate several times, was shocking but not dangerous crossed.
After Pollack truncates gradually is smooth, the vision uppers shift, looks to the mirror, sees only in the mirror, own face was covered up the part by the disorderly hair, was shone upon the light and shade concave-convex feeling by the pale yellow dim candlelight, during ray flowing, appears fierce strange.
In this manner has never looked at itself, Pollack cannot bear the cold air brave, unexpectedly strangeness in mirror, as if the soul fell into the hell!
In hand one light, Pollack looks down, sees only the apple to truncate thoroughly, a curling and shrinking pellicle distortion fell above the desk.
„Success?” Pollack raised the head hastily, wants to have a look whether summoned the devil, but in mirror only then not only anticipation and fierce!
Intense disappointed surging, Pollack said in a low voice: „To make the mistake what to arrange?”
Suddenly, in the airtight room blew strange cool breeze, making the pale yellow ray of white candle trembling, Pollack conditioned reflex looked to the mirror surface, saw of gold/metal bluing eye were also honest to look at each other, with had not distinguished a moment ago.
Just about to dejectedly lowers the head, the Pollack corners of the mouth in mirror bring back suddenly wipe the strange smiling face, is tearing the face, making the whole piece facial skin fall off, reveals the fuzzy flesh.
„!” Facing so strange, the so frightened scene, Pollack called frightened, wants to withdraw, actually discovered oneself are sitting above the chair, can only closely paste the seat back cushion.
The fuzzy flesh started to twist wriggles, turned into an eyebrows upturned at the ends white face, the bright red tongue spat very much long „devil”:
„Follows your summon, came from hell most deep place, please say your request.”
The ice-cold inflexible sound made Pollack shiver again several, but also therefore awakened, oneself really summoned the devil! This bewildered magic ceremony really effective!
„I must become the knight, no, I must become the big knight, I must become the scoparius duke!” Pollack roared excitedly, at this time, in his eyes, opposite appearance ugly fearsome „devil” is such kind and respectable!
„The principle of devil, must obtain anything, must pay the same price. Did you prepare for paying a price?” The long tongue falls in the chest front, swings a swayed, „devil” has the ice-cold happy expression to say.
Pollack just about to blurts out oneself have prepared, suddenly the miraculous glow flashes, stops forcefully: „The price that request different things, need to pay is also different, right?”
„Naturally, I am the hell at first and one of the most ancient seven devils ‚greedy’, you need to let my satisfactory price for your greedy payout.” Said that said as the greedy devil.
Although has never seen the devil of this appearance, but after Pollack hears at first and most ancient seven devils . Suddenly remembered itself to see legend of one volume about sun king Thanos in the family secret storehouse, inside had mentioned on the side greedy, hated and other exceptionally mysterious ancient times devils.
Thinks of here, Pollack is believes regarding the magic contract thoroughly: „Respect is greedy your excellency. What price do I want to become the scoparius duke to need to pay? What price becomes the big knight to need to pay? Becoming the ordinary knight, but retains the possibility of step big knight, what price also needs to pay?”
With the transaction of devil, cannot be cheated absolutely, Pollack remembered „father” paper. „Cannot sell to the devil the soul absolutely, cannot take advantage in it absolutely”.
„Greedy” devil said with a smile lightly: „Becoming the scoparius duke, needs to give me the soul after dying, relax, you in my domain eternal life, will enjoy the inexhaustible joy ; Becoming the big knight. I must obtain you to deduct first 50 years later remaining lives, no matter you whether to become a day of knight and golden knight, you can only live 50 years old ; If becomes the ordinary knight. But retains the possibility of step big knight, I need you to take ten years of life span to exchange.”
Pollack inspires gently, hesitates, betrays own soul, forever degenerates in the hell of greedy devil. Too was really terrifying, is he does not want to choose temporarily. Especially „father” repeatedly the urging should not be cheated by the devil, but can only live the 50-year-old words, oneself become the big knight, what significance competes with the scoparius duke also to have?
However, the greedy devil seems to be different from other devil, has not made a show completely, conceals the provision, spoke clearly the price and consequence.
Struggled the half of the day, Pollack asked in a low voice: „Is greedy your excellency, after this choice, if I cannot achieve my goal, whether can summon you again, chooses again?” He feared very much oneself make the wrong choice.
„Does not have the issue, but the paid price is unable to take back, is equivalent to a new transaction.” The greedy devil gave up Pollack's anxiety.
Pollack deeply inspires: „I choose to become the ordinary knight, but retains the possibility of step big knight.”
„Such as you hope, but this need gradually changes your destiny path, therefore you must tell me completely, in your life has, has come across matter, in detail is more comprehensive, then your reserved entering step big knight is possibly bigger.” The greedy devil gentleman salutes.
Pollack wants to become the knight impatiently, the request to the greedy devil had not suspected, after all changes the destiny truly probably to need these information, astrology knowledge that since he knows, to was understood many by the soothsayer, the result of divination is more accurate!
„...... My was enticed by father's lover for the first time......, but she is now old, I start to alienate her......”
In Pollack's life each article past events and habits and customs and character tendency tells, no matter secret, many people know.
But outside the study room, the secret guard as if delay that the scoparius family sent looks at corridor another end, according to the scoparius family's custom, the guard cannot interfere with the successor to work, chooses what path, so long as they can complete the test finally, defeated other successors, became the scoparius duke, has not betrayed the soul and family paramount interest, then even before colluded with the devil, was still immaterial.
„Strength and method are all roots”, this is the scoparius family's inscription word.
Therefore, this guard looks that Pollack passes in and out the black market not to prevent, but protects his security and records to give the senior duke, the white candle and apple were he helped look a moment ago, placed the kitchen conspicuous place.
„Will this magic ceremony so strangely be why strange and bewildered?” Starts at the ceremony shortly, such guard's consciousness gradually fuzzy.
............
Lucien who in villa another room, wears the black hood calmly looks at front mirror, the smile is listening to Pollack in detail and recounted completely.
This may be innumerable than time the material that the direct read memory obtains!
Sometimes, even without magic, can make the opposite party mention the clear memory willingly!
So long as can look for certainly the loophole of mind, „imaginary technique” does not need to discharge directly!
