Chapter 4: Introduction to Magic and the Devil Who Freeloads on Meals



Demons never hate humans asking for things from them.

To be honest, compared to those angels, they are much more generous.

The devil welcomes everyone.

After Mingyue spoke, Solomon smiled and said that he could help Mingyue set up a barrier to protect the vegetable garden.

Mingyue suggested, "Rather than helping me set up the barrier, I hope you can teach me barrier magic."

Solomon seemed to be waiting for this sentence: "No problem, I can teach you."

Speaking of teaching, he suddenly felt an inexplicable passion: "Just learn barrier magic? I can also teach you other magic."

Mingyue had a feeling Solomon was just being amused when he said this, and sure enough, he went on to say, "But you have to know that learning magic is very difficult. Just getting started takes a lot of effort. You have to drink goat blood, then use the juice of black plants to draw magic pathways on your body, and then dance for three consecutive days before you can even begin."

Solomon's words were both true and false. Mingyue laughed and said, "Let's make a bet. You teach me barrier magic now. If I don't learn it, I will learn magic according to your instructions. But if I learn it, you have to teach me new magic."

The devil agreed.

Solomon had already seen the future of the man in front of him growing into a master of magic, but it was always fun to have some fun in the process of growing up.

Before teaching the magic of the barrier, Solomon thought of something: "I can teach you now, but if humans want to learn magic, they need a staff. Do you have one?"

"She has a magic wand!" It just so happened that the reward for establishing the hotel was a magic wand. Xiaoman quickly took the thing out of the system space and handed it to Mingyue.

It is a wooden staff with a curved top.

It's fine if there is one. Solomon nodded and said, "Okay, then I will cast the spell now. I will slow down the speed and you can learn by watching."

He did indeed slow down. The barrier casting process, which should have taken half a minute, took Solomon one minute to set up half of it. He pointed at the remaining half and said, "Since you want to learn, you can set up the remaining half."

Fortunately, Mingyue understood it. After slowing down the casting, she saw that the black smoke-like magic power that appeared during the casting was actually composed of a long string of characters. During normal casting, these characters jumped too fast, giving people the illusion that they were seeing flowing magic power.

These characters are the rules for setting up the barrier. Once you understand them, you will find that it is a bit similar to programming. The operation of the barrier needs to be executed differently based on conditional judgments.

When setting up a barrier, the caster needs to set clear settings for who can pass and who cannot, so that the barrier will determine whether to pass or block based on the requirements.

Since the magic of the demons is common to the laws that Mingyue knows, Mingyue can cast spells without using the demon language. She began to fabricate spells using her own language, setting herself and Xiaoman to be allowed to pass through the barrier, and setting others to be denied passage, and then projected the barrier to the desired location.

The other half of the barrier has also been completed.

Seeing Mingyue master the barrier magic in an instant, Solomon looked at her with more and more surprise: "You have a really high talent for magic, it's a pity that you are a human. If you were born a demon, you might grow up to be stronger than me..."

Before Solomon could finish his words, Xiaoman interrupted him angrily: "You wish! Yueyue will never become a demon! Oh, and since you lost, you have to teach Yueyue some new magic!"

Solomon asked, "According to our agreement, what kind of magic do you want to learn?"

"Can you also teach me things like construction magic, ah, and the magic that made plants sprout just now?"

"Okay, do you want to learn now?"

Mingyue looked at the chicken snake corpse on the ground. It would be stale soon. She said, "Let's wait a while. Let's eat first. You can join us and see if these dishes are to Hell's taste."

Since they all came to the store from hell, they must be doing devil’s business too!

Use these two to test the poison first.

Mingyue's aura suddenly changed as she prepared to cook. Xiaohong and Solomon, who had originally planned to watch the cooking, inexplicably started working.

The two demons sat next to each other on a small stool, their sturdy bodies forming a sharp contrast with the small stool. Xiaohong was plucking the feathers of a chicken, and Solomon was skinning the tail of a snake. The two demons muttered to each other as they worked.

"Why should we listen to her and work?"

"I don't know either. I just started doing it for no apparent reason."

“I always feel like if I don’t do it, something terrible will happen.”

(It seems that this sense of oppression of being a “mother” or a “cook” is engraved in the genes of every race.)

Mingyue was washing the picked fruits.

Xiaoman asked curiously, "Yueyue, we don't have any seasonings for cooking. We don't have money and can't buy them from the store."

"Don't worry, I have it with me."

Mingyue took out a small bag from somewhere, which contained various seasonings.

This is a small habit of Mingyue. When she goes out, she always brings some familiar seasonings with her, such as soy sauce, chili powder with sesame spices, oyster sauce, etc. She carries them with her. This way, no matter where she drifts to, she can taste the familiar taste, which is a means of self-protection.

This principle was taught to her by her grandmother. She still remembers lying next to the stove, watching her grandmother cooking, and the old lady nagging: "My dear, when you grow up and go far away, learn how to make this dish from grandma, so that you won't miss home when you are away from home."

After leaving his own world and traveling between many dimensions, Mingyue still remembered to bring some familiar seasonings with him.
