Hussein placed a chaos bird's claw and a Burgundy bull's tongue on both sides of the magic circle.
Imdiately after, a red vertical line appeared in the sky and descended.
Then ca a burst of mocking laughter, as if so existence was emitting sharp laughing sounds. A tal round cover with the image of a vile red-nosed clown appeared out of thin air in mid-air.
The demon clown's eyes were covered by black cloth.
Then the clown on that tal round cover, like a relief sculpture, actually began to crawl, as if climbing out from that manhole cover.
"Wizard, in the na of the King of Coldness and Lies, I co here. Ahahaha..." The clown demon relief emitted mocking laughter, "What rule do you want to confuse this ti?"
"As a price, you need to pay sufficient offerings."
Hussein's expression was cold. Facing these existences that were even more ruleless and colder than White Wizards, he was instead more at ease.
He pointed at the two offerings on the table.
The demon clown fell silent for a mont, then once again revealed a vile smile. "That's not enough. This is just the basic offering. I need additional offerings."
Hussein said coldly, "What additional offerings do you need?"
The demon clown's eyeballs rolled, then it stared at Locke. Locke was observing this demon manifested by world power from the Nine Hells with curiosity from the side.
Clearly, the Nine Hells were very special.
Never had a plane's will rged so thoroughly with its main life group.
This demon, at this mont, could represent the Nine Hells... at least the world will power of a certain layer of the plane.
And all this was perhaps related to the origin contract mages. In any case, the hell lord of that layer should have had an agreent with so origin contract mage.
The demon clown moved its gaze away from Locke. Locke had two auras it detested on him. One was from the Natural Source Plane.
That one was tolerable, could still be endured.
But that abyssal aura almost made it nauseous.
Its eyeballs rolled and it pointed at Witch Camilla, saying, "I want her soul as an offering. I also want at least ten thousand pure human souls. I also want..."
Witch Camilla's eyes flashed with cold light. "A re hell demon, watch kill you."
Hussein directly reached out to stop her. "Don't bother with it. Right now it's the spokesperson of the Seventh Hell, the Lying Hell's world will. This is a special feature of the Nine Hells."
"These demons are now spokespersons of world power. The spokesperson status on the hell side is in an over-issued state. So these spokespersons are very weak, very weak, but no matter what, at this mont they all have so rules brought by ritual magic."
"It's deliberately provoking you. According to the rules, as long as you attack it, it's equivalent to attacking the Lying Hell, and you'll be backlashed by hell's power in an instant."
Witch Camilla frowned.
She hadn't expected that this clown demon had been deliberately provoking all along.
It had been lying the whole ti!
Hussein said, "Additional offerings are indeed an added price it can demand. But I have special thods."
In an instant, Hussein used Permanent Defensive Field. He instantly transford into a primordial vampire. A blood moon appeared behind him. At the sa ti, his magic pressure beca even stronger. Three pairs of blood-colored eyes appeared on him, and four pairs of bat wings appeared on his back.
After three years apart, Hussein's vampirization seed to have undergone special changes, becoming more powerful, closer to ancestral bloodline.
Hussein opened the primordial vampire's bloody maw and bit down on this clown demon's body. Imdiately the clown demon scread.
Hussein's blood curse spread through the bite, temporarily vampirizing that demon.
Hussein smiled and said, "I'm enhancing its power, not attacking, and not directly mind-controlling. Instead I'm strengthening its power, so it won't trigger retaliation. However, I basically can't maintain the vampirization for too long, but even if I can only maintain ten minutes, it's enough."
"As its superior, I can command it."
"With only the basic offerings presented."
The clown demon beca extrely respectful. "Blood Lord, what are your orders?"
Hussein pointed at Locke and said, "I want you to use the power of lies to confuse this wizard's identity, making him temporarily appear to be a Magic Pivot City wizard."
The clown demon emitted sharp laughter. "Blood Lord, of course that's possible. It's very simple."
The clown demon ran behind Locke. A strange energy enveloped Locke.
Hussein said, "You can trade now. Quickly. Once ti is up, the confusing power will lose its effect."
Witch Camilla smiled and said, "Today I've really learned sothing. So contract mages actually have such thods."
She quickly tossed the natal porcelain to Locke, and Locke pushed what he promised her to her.
The two quickly completed the trade.
The next mont, a strange power seed to descend here.
Camilla frowned because that was the power of the Eye of Truth.
It still triggered the Eye of Truth's movent. Did it discover a wizard had violated an agreent?
The Eye of Truth appeared in the sky as an illusory golden triangular spell eye, lasting about five minutes.
None of the three spoke.
To prevent the Eye of Truth from detecting anything wrong.
Soon, the Eye of Truth disappeared.
Hussein skillfully removed the magic circle, canceling the ritual magic. That demon clown's vampirization instantly disappeared. This clown demon was furious. "Hussein, you actually dare treat like this."
"Damn wizard, how could you have... otherwise how could your curse possibly affect !"
The clown demon seed completely unable to ntion sothing. As soon as it tried to ntion that thing, it was forcibly muted by so power.
The clown demon resisted hell's power's summons, wanting to stay in the main material world. "Damn, damn, you actually dare to trick the Seventh Hell's demon spokesperson."
"You actually dare to trick ... I want to enter the main material plane. All this is mine, all mine."
The next mont, the clown demon was sucked into it.
Imdiately, it disappeared.
Hussein also returned to his original form, patting his clothes. "Confusion Curse has great casting risks. But for certain reasons, for , the casting cost is very low."
Witch Camilla was completely convinced, considering Hussein to be a genius of the sa level as herself. After all, that demon spokesperson just now was bitten by Hussein, directly cursed into a blood clan mber, then manipulated to do things.
Hussein used this thod to greatly reduce the casting cost, and also eliminated the possibility of the demon spokesperson forcibly staying in the wizard world through tricks.
This was also why he didn't plan to charge Locke money this ti.
Because for him, using Confusion Curse cost far less than for ordinary contract mages.
Witch Camilla said to Hussein, "Handso, let's add each other on the water hyacinth network system. In the future, we might be able to cooperate."
Hussein glanced at her, "Fine."
Witch Camilla probed, "Handso, you just gave Augustine Wizard a discount. Can you give a discount in the future too?"
"After all, your casting cost seems very low."
Hussein was blunt. "Impossible."
"If you say that, we don't need to continue talking."
Witch Camilla's face turned red and pale. She hadn't expected Hussein to give her absolutely no face.
At this mont, she noticed that Hussein's gaze toward her... was actually very cold, without much emotion.
Just like how she looked at wizards who weren't in her circle.
Witch Camilla suddenly thought with surprise, 'I'm Magic Pivot City's genius. My magic pressure is so much higher than his. Could it be that in his eyes, I'm not a First Circle wizard of the sa level as him?'
'How is that possible! Maybe I'm overthinking.'
Witch Camilla smiled and said, "I was just joking. Let's add each other as friends on the water hyacinth system."
After the two added each other, Witch Camilla quickly left.
First, to not be a third wheel.
Second, to minimize ti spent alone with Locke. After all, Magic Pivot City and Golden Crown Mountain didn't have good relations.
Moreover, they had privately made a trade that sold out Magic Pivot City's interests.
Staying longer had no benefit for her.
After she left, Hussein glanced in the direction she left, then said to Locke, "Long ti no see. Your magic pressure is already close to the First Circle limit. You should know about the soul decline period before the Second Circle, right?"
"I have a colleague who also entered the soul decline period, but he's been in that decline period his whole life. Never escaped it. Ah..."
Locke nodded slightly, "I know. But thank you for sharing this information with . I once personally witnessed a wizard fail to break through to the Second Circle."
Hussein said, "Then I wish you good luck. It will probably take a few more years before I approach the soul decline period."
The two exchanged their understanding of magic for a while, then greeted each other and parted.
Mainly because Locke was eager to strengthen his Full Moon Growth, while Hussein didn't co out freely this ti. He was now a lawyer at Mithril Law Firm, following his collaborative ntor out to work.
So he couldn't wander around outside at will.
Two old friends reunited after a long separation, but because they were both busy, they could only greet each other and part again.
But neither had much sentint about this.
Only because they both knew the other was a fellow traveler.
Locke ca to Joseph's Golem Shop and used his last 5,000 magic stones to rent a dium-specification First Circle testing room.
The magic stones from Arthas hadn't been transferred over yet. They would have to wait until the Sports Festival ended for settlent.
However, it was only two days.
He would only be poor for these last two days.
In the testing room, Locke looked at the natal witch porcelain in his hand and felt the powerful magic energy within. "Let's try it. Using this as the moon core, let's see what kind of power the created magic moon has."
