Ai Luolin, who regarded all evil creatures from the lower planes as mortal enemies, immediately jumped out and shouted a warning.

Not only that, she was even eager to use the weapon in her hand to send the other party back home.

But Zuo Si controlled the illusion and gave the young and impulsive holy warrior a calm look. At the same time, he kept his invisible body and moved a little closer to the front, using the faint light source to carefully observe the situation in the tomb ahead.

Especially the binding array carved on the ground, and the complex symbols and patterns within the array.

In addition, he also found that about ten meters away from the devil, there was a table that was not affected by the [Fireball] just now.

There were two candlesticks on the table, and an altar that looked like one used for evil sacrificial ceremonies. Dried blood and a rotten, smelly black heart could be vaguely seen on the altar.

There was a dagger of a very unique shape stuck in the heart.

Next to the altar was a notebook stained black and red by blood plasma.

"Why were you summoned here? Or in other words, how are you going to fulfill your role as a game prop after being summoned here?" Zuo Si asked with interest while controlling the illusion.

He is not an ordinary person who knows nothing about the lower planes, demons, devils, sacrificial rituals, inter-dimensional summoning, etc.

Just the opposite!

As early as the first time the portal to Faerun was opened and the Archnecromancer Asta successfully captured a young wizard, Zuo Si had been quietly collecting knowledge in this area.

After arriving at Calimport, he collected more than seventy related works in the wizard tower of a magic item merchant.

Among them are famous legendary wizards and voters of the goddess of magic such as Elminster and Khelben "Black Staff", who classified and summarized the results of their years of exploration and research and compiled books such as Demon Classification, Introduction to the Main Levels of the Abyss, Common Characteristics of Baatezu Demons, and the Environment and Political Ecology of Hell.

There is even a book that is famous throughout the multiverse - "The Demon Chronicles of Igvirf".

This famous "Witch Queen" once successfully imprisoned Graz'zt, one of the three great giants of the Abyss, in her dark basement to play "imprisonment PLAY".

Some books that were obviously written by evil wizards directly give the names of up to a thousand demons or devils ranging in power from low to high, so that readers can summon them according to their needs.

Of course, whether or not the summoned being can be controlled is another matter.

Anyway, in Faerun, there are too many spellcasters who die every year from summoning demons or devils.

Through those hidden traces, Zuo Si had almost figured out the intention of the mastermind behind the scenes to summon and bind a bone demon here.

But he still wanted to extract more useful information from the devil.

As a high-level devil that is far more powerful than a lesser devil, the bone devil is undoubtedly cunning.

Although they are not known for their "intelligence" among the huge group of demons, they even always give people a feeling that they are immersed in venting violence and killing and cannot extricate themselves.

But it is undeniable that bone demons are still a kind of devil, and are much smarter than most mortals.

The bone demon imprisoned in the center of the binding array first looked up and down at Zuo Si's phantom, then grinned and asked, "Are you sure you want to follow the method provided by those guys to open the passage to the bottom of the tomb?"

"It never hurts to have one more option, right?" Zuo Si controlled the illusion and tried his best to put on a cautious and defensive posture.

He suddenly discovered that this magic card that could create an illusion that lasted for a long time was much more useful than he had expected.

Because unless it is attacked and destroyed, the illusion is basically no different from a real person, whether it is expression, touch, movement, smell, or clothing.

Even the eyes and facial muscles can be subtly adjusted according to the user's will in order to deceive the enemy.

"Hahahaha! Are you afraid of me?

Oh my god!

I am a devil of my promises!

Not those damn demons from the Abyss! If you're worried that I'll do something bad to you after I break free, why don't you sign a contract as a guarantee? "

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in the contract you offer."

Zuo Si refused immediately without even a second's hesitation.

Signing a contract with a devil from Baator? What a joke! These guys are much better at misinterpreting laws, clauses and playing word games than those lawyers in capitalist countries on Earth who serve the rich.

Even the most ordinary content can be "interpreted" by them to mean something completely opposite to what you understand.

What's more, the devil is known for his patience.

Those contracts that seem to be in your favor are often just baits to lure mortals onto the path of depravity.

So if you don't want your soul to go to hell, the best way is not to sign any contract with the devil at all, or even look at it.

Seeing that his trick was exposed, the Bone Demon did not get angry, but put away the parchment and sighed slightly: "Alas - you don't like the contract? That's really a pity!

Because you have no idea what you are missing.

You must know that in the entire multiverse, there are countless mortals who are eager to sign such a contract to realize their unattainable wishes.

After all, we devils are the race that abides by contracts the most, bar none."

Regarding the Bone Demon's shameless boasting about the Hell Contract, Zuo Si simply responded in a very calm tone: "I'm sorry, I don't think your devil's contract can really help those people realize their so-called "wishes".

Because the power, knowledge, wealth and strength that each person possesses are the manifestation of their cognition of things in this world and even the entire multiverse.

The fairest thing about it is that if you are lucky enough to get something that does not match your own cognition, the world will have thousands of ways to take it away.

Until the power, knowledge, wealth and strength you possess match your existing perceptions.

For example, some fools who inherited a large amount of inheritance but only knew how to eat, drink and have fun would usually be cheated of all their money by scammers, and eventually become penniless and have to barely survive by begging; nobles who inherited titles or even thrones from their fathers but did not have enough ability to manage and rule might be ruthlessly overthrown by their subordinates, or become a pathetic puppet under the manipulation of conspirators; a small person who could not even protect himself suddenly picked up a magic weapon that could change his own destiny, but did not have enough strength and wisdom to keep it, and was killed by greedy adventurers before he could go far...

There are so many similar examples that it would take three days and three nights to list them all.

This naturally includes making a dangerous pact with a devil like you.

There is only one way to avoid similar situations, and that is to set a goal first, whether it is long-term or short-term, and then achieve it little by little through your own efforts.

Never think of taking shortcuts! Because most of the time, the "shortcuts" you see are usually the longest way to "success".

The road that seems far and full of bumps is often the real "shortcut".

So please stop telling me lies and deceptions and just tell me how to open the passage to the bottom of the tomb."

Such wise and philosophical words immediately made the Bone Demon reveal an expression of surprise and surprise on his face.

Because he has endless life, he has seen countless mortals, but this is the first time he has met someone who has such experience.

Not just the devil!

The young lady of the Holy Knight standing by also widened her eyes in shock, unable to believe that such words came out of the mouth of a boy who looked only about ten years old.

Even though I've heard those harsh words about giving alms to the poor before.

At this moment, she finally understood why God wanted her to follow Zuo Si and do everything he could to ensure that he would not fall into evil.

Ai Luolin couldn't even imagine what a terrible enemy he would become if a person like Zuo Si completely devoted himself to evil.
