Using magic to imprison Sophia and the others, Lucian checked it in detail again before picking up the notebook and looking at it.
These notes are very incomplete and scribbled, and you can vaguely see the style changes of the writer as they grow older:
「…… After exploring the ancient ruins in the deepest part of hell, the teacher and Solano all have an indescribable weirdness, but what is the value of the astrologer's apprentice who has never been optimistic about me and can't even build the main star of fate? If my father hadn't died because he saved the teacher, he wouldn't have cared about me at all, hum, how would they know the true meaning of my main star of destiny?"
「…… They are no longer human, but devils! Perhaps when they returned from the ancient ruins, they were possessed by the devil...... I have to be careful, I can't be careless, I can't let them find out that I know their secret......"
「…… I am sure that possessing them is a devil who has never been recorded, and they seem to like to play with people's hearts and cause distortions of personalities and negative accumulation of emotions...... I can't go on like this, I want to find an excuse to go out......"
「…… It's dangerous, if it weren't for the special star of my destiny, they would have caught me......"
「…… I finally know what kind of devil they are, arrogance, jealousy, greed, hatred, pain, lust, hypocrisy, unlike all other devils......"
「…… Solano actually wanted to kill me, didn't he know that I had been promoted to the Seven Rings? They are simply here to send me experimental materials, I have to see what the 'greedy' devil is......"
「…… There is no way to imprison the projection of the devil, how to study it? Maybe I should go out and explore the deepest parts of hell, hoping to find some useful information......"
「…… I can't find a clue, let's see if it can be fused with ordinary devil blood......"
「…… The results of the experiment are beyond imagination, and the projection fusion of the greedy devil can actually cause the soul to produce innate abilities, and greatly enhance the soul and body, consolidating the cognitive world, perhaps this can speed up my promotion......"
「…… Since the negative emotions that cannot be vented have reached a critical point where they can have a mysterious connection with the seven demons, why don't I artificially create them, I have to design a special palace and ritual......"
「…… What is this?"
「…… It turns out I was wrong from the beginning......"
「…… I think I have discovered the secret of the seven devils who greedily greed, and I think I have found the true ...... of the world."
These notes do not seem to have been deliberately omitted here, but as if someone was fighting for them, causing some of the paper to fall off.
"Greed, hatred, pain, what is their secret? It actually involves the reality of the world." In Lucian's mind, the notes automatically took shape in the soul library, but this huge mystery could not be explained in the slightest due to the incompleteness of the notes, arousing Lucian's curiosity but not satisfying it, making Lucian very depressed.
After calming down and searching the secret room carefully, he found no other valuable records, so Lucian used the Soul Library to forcibly record the magic circle layout and altar composition in the hall.
This is a treasure second only to the "Magic Scepter", and according to the Sun King Thanos, they can be combined to draw the projections of mysterious demons, imprison them, and fuse them.
Because the seven demons such as greed are too mysterious and weird, Lucian has no interest in the ritual of merging the devil's projection to strengthen the soul, if he lets greed, arrogance, etc. lurk into his "mind" because of this, it will be more than worth the loss, but extracting them and imprisoning them is a good way to deal with their weirdness and killing.
After doing all this, Lucian put Ralph and Claire to sleep, blessed with vigilance magic, and then woke up Sophia: "I still have some things for you to do, come with me and be my experimental 'assistant'."
"Yes." Sophia replied respectfully, with an itchy hatred in her heart, experimenting with an "assistant"? Hmph, it must be letting himself do something dangerous again, or helping him explore unknown areas, it's really hateful!
But hatred is hatred, life is under Lucian's control, she can only hold back her emotions, obediently follow Lucian out of the secret room, and walk to the oil portrait of the first Duke of Plantagenet.
"Actually, there is actually a secret room? How many secrets does this palace hide?" Sophia watched Lucian open the entrance in shock.
Then, a strong fear arose in her heart, "If I know this secret, will he silence me?"
"If you can't stand, then never move." Lucian smiled and looked at Sophia, his expression so pure that he was harmless to humans and animals.
In Sophia's eyes, this gentle and smiling face was simply the demon of the abyss, even more vicious than the greedy and painful devil just now, and he wished he could flatten his face with a fireball technique.
However, this can only be a beautiful fantasy in her heart, in reality, she swallowed her anger and said: "I'll go in right away, Mr. Magician."
If you don't go in, you will die immediately, and there is still a glimmer of hope after entering! Maybe there are no secrets in it, so you don't need to be killed to silence it?
Walking through the short secret passage, Sophia saw the inner floor of the palace, which was the same as the hall outside, and the statue of Thanos.
Quickly looking around and finding that there was nothing special, Sophia breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and her legs were so weak that she almost fell to her knees.
Lucian took Sophia to the statue and pointed to Thanos' outstretched right hand: "Touch it."
"There, isn't there nothing? Isn't this simple?" Sophia stood on her tiptoes in a daze and doubtful, stretched out her hand to the place where the statue's right hand was holding, halfway through, she subconsciously looked at Lucian next to her, only to find that there was no one there!
"Continue." A low voice came from afar, and Sophia looked back in astonishment and found that the mysterious and powerful magician had flashed into the secret passage in just two seconds.
Sophia stammered: "You, why are you hiding so far?"
"It could be dangerous." Lucian told her honestly and sincerely.
Brush, cold sweat immediately dripped from Sophia's forehead, it could be dangerous, dangerous, dangerous...... If she hadn't had a trace of reason to control herself, she would have scolded like a shrew, letting the curse haunt this bastard magician from generation to generation.
"Hurry up, we still have to set aside time to sign the magic contract." Lucian reminded with a flat smile.
Sophia heard the warning in her words, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her right hand seemed to be filled with lead, and she stretched out to the predetermined position unusually heavily.
"Move." Lucian, who was wearing the "Crown of the Sun", saw Sophia touch the edge of the light white ball of light and motioned for her to move up and down, left and right.
Sophia's slender white hands trembled violently, sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly, for fear of some terrifying changes.
"It's okay." Lucian looked at this calm picture suspiciously.
Snap, hearing this, Sophia only felt that all her courage and perseverance had disappeared, and she fell to the ground hard, paralyzed and weak, but fortunately it was okay, fortunately, it was okay!
Lucian used the induction magic left in advance to judge from Sophia's emotions, muscles, etc., that she did not touch the ball of light, and there was no other effective reaction - this is why she did not use the magic that dominates humans to control Sophia, so that the reaction would not be real enough, not "first-hand data", so Lucian frowned and waited for a while, and after confirming that there were no other slight changes, he walked to Sophia's side and asked her to leave a breath on the "Crown of the Sun", just like he used the "Crown of the Sun" for the first time Some of the functions.
Only then did Sophia see a light white and strange ball of light on the right hand of the statue, and then heard a voice that made her tremble and her muscles tense: "Try touching it again."
You bastard! Sophia didn't say too many curses, but she hated Lucian to the extreme, but when she thought that she didn't even know the appearance and identity of this bastard, she felt deeply sad.
Taking a few deep breaths and getting up again, Sophia trembled and stretched out her hand towards the light mass while telling herself that this was the last danger, and at the same time unexpectedly saw the bastard mage flash and hide in the secret passage.
"Coward! Coward! Coward!" Cursing sadly, Sophia's index finger touched the light white ball of light, and a cold came from it, and then passed through it without any hindrance, but when she touched the small gap, she felt like she was touching the thick curtain.
Withdrawing her hand, Sophia gasped heavily: "Mr. Mage, I can't touch the ball of light."
Lucian erased Sophia's aura on the "Crown of the Sun", and was about to give the next step when he suddenly felt that someone had touched the vigilance circle he had arranged!
"Pain Devil?" Lucian did not advance but retreated, falling into the center of the hall, and at the same time reached into the storage bag.
"It turns out that there is also a secret room here." Before Lucian could make any more moves, a clear and serious voice came from the other end of the secret passage, and then a blonde man with deep blue eyes slowly walked in.
"Bayer?"
The person who came in was actually Prince Baier, who had been fainted by backlash and had a graceful demeanor, not at all like he was possessed by the devil of pain or greed.
Bayer carried his hands behind his back, full of majesty as he walked, ignoring Lucian, crossing his body, looking at the statue's right hand, and sighing with a slight joy:
"Sure enough, there is such a thing, my path is not wrong."
Lucian's face changed, as if he thought of something, at this time Sophia's whole body suddenly trembled violently, surprised and happy, afraid and frightened, and said authentically:
"Father, father?"
