Gluttonous Warlock

Chapter 230 Abyss Magic Mirror
The world of meditation, the Underdark.

Orlando Castle, underground chamber.

Against the wall, there is a mercury mirror as tall as a person.

A blanket of scarlet velvet, covered in mirrors.

Alan's fused ogre wizard ancestral spirit paced opposite the mirror with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed.

He is facing a difficult choice.

……

It has been more than three months since the Mushroom Garden was moved back to Silver Moon Island.

The war between the Federation of North and South Islands is still going on.

During this period, Allen occasionally used the teleportation technique to support the southern islands with a group of relatives and friends including senior sisters, older sisters, and Griffin siblings.

Relying on the inside information provided by Tuffman, Spencer, and Sonia, they made a lot of military exploits by taking out dragon vein warlocks, beast worshipers, and human devils from the opposing camp.

Kaili and others have also achieved considerable growth through actual combat training.

For most of the rest of the time, Allen stayed in the Panthers dungeon, retreating in the newly built mushroom garden, concentrating on his cultivation.

Three months in the outside world, in the secret realm, a year and a half has passed.

During this period, Alan's cultivation has steadily improved, and he has touched the threshold of breaking through the bottleneck and advancing to the fifth level.

At a critical juncture, they encountered an unexpected trouble.

The matter also starts with the ancestral spirit fused with Allen, a young ogre wizard.

The troubled prince of the orc tribe lost his territory and troops under the siege of humans and elves, and was forced to flee to the Underdark.

In the dark underground world, there are two major forces.

One is the undead clan under the leadership of necromancers.

The second is the dark dungeon ruled by the dark elves.

The original owner of the underground castle where Allen lived was named Orlando, a dark elf warlock who was born in the dark dungeon.

Allen designed to assassinate Orlando and transform him into a fungus.

Self-proclaimed Grand Steward, the de facto owner of Orlando Castle.

As the steward, it is of course his duty to count the property in the castle.

It doesn't matter this counting, accidentally discovered the secret of Orlando during his lifetime!

In the basement of the castle, there is a secret door with a magic seal.

Facing the secret door, Allen released eight "dispel spells" in a row.

Finally, the seal was dispelled and the secret door was opened.

Inside the door is an empty hall, which looks like a spell testing ground.

The layout of the hall is very simple.

In addition to the desk and chair, there is only a floor-to-ceiling mirror placed against the wall.

The mirror surface was covered by a velvet cover.

As soon as Allen entered the door, he noticed the magic fluctuations emanating from the mirror.

Obviously, it was a magic weapon.

Out of caution, Allen was not in a hurry to get close to the magic mirror.

Go to the desk first and look through Orlando's notes during his lifetime.

This is a research note, and the research object is the magic mirror.

Orlando stated in his notes that this magic mirror was originally kept in the Underdark Dungeon, and it was the treasure of his cousin, a noble drow priestess.

Many years ago, by chance, Orlando saw the magic mirror.

Inexplicably, the magic mirror seemed to be calling him.

He has been obsessed with the mirror ever since.

A strong desire arises to claim the magic mirror for himself.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to assassinate his cousin, steal the magic mirror, and escape from the dungeon.

Hiding in this remote place, he devoted himself to studying the magic mirror.

After years of research, Orlando discovered that this mirror contains powerful magic.

By reciting the correct spell, you can open the world opposite the mirror, sign a contract with mysterious alien creatures, and gain benefits.

Orlando spent a lot of effort to decipher the spell to open the magic mirror.

When he finally succeeds in deciphering the spell, he finds that the truth is more terrifying than he thought!
Orlando was terrified!
He didn't dare to deal with the mysterious existence in the mirror, and even hid the magic mirror in an underground secret room and sealed it up.

Shortly thereafter, Orlando died at the hands of Allen and had no chance to use the magic mirror.

Orlando's autobiography ends here.

The following notes are mainly incantations recorded in drow script, which are densely packed and very obscure.

Allen couldn't help but wonder, what did Orlando see in the mirror?
So scared that I gave up this research and gave up halfway after years of hard work!

Anyway, this is the world of meditation, and Allen has nothing to fear.

Even if there is a catastrophe, it will not hurt his body.

Therefore, he decided to continue the work that Orlando had interrupted, to crack the secret behind the magic mirror.

Orlando has already figured out the spell to open the magic mirror, but unfortunately this complex spell is written in the language of the dark elves.

Allen has a little understanding of Drow's characters, and he can barely handle daily conversations.

However, Orlando's notes are comparable to scientific research papers from his previous life!
The writing is too obscure, and many uncommon words are not used in daily life.

Allen read it wholeheartedly, and only understood about [-]% of it.

In order to thoroughly understand this note, Allen had to leave the castle, disguise himself as a dark elf, and mix into the dark dungeon.

At first, he wanted to kidnap a drow to help him decipher the spell.

Random passers-by on the street may not be able to read Orlando's notes, at least they must be educated people such as warlocks or priestesses.

Warlocks and priestesses are the ruling class in the dungeon!
Any one of them is from a wealthy family and a celebrity in society!

Can such a person be kidnapped casually? !

Considering that it might alert the ruling family in the city and send someone to track down the missing person, Allen had no choice but to give up the idea, and went to the bookstore to buy a drow dictionary.

With a dictionary as a reference, he was able to look up uncommon words and interpret Orlando's notes on his own.

After a lot of effort, Allen finally understood the second half of the notes.

Afterwards, I couldn't help wiping off a cold sweat!
In addition to the incantation, Orlando also vaguely revealed in his notes that the bottomless abyss is connected to the opposite side of the Demon Realm.

That's right, it's the home of the devil!

Recite the spell in front of the magic mirror, and the figure of the Balrog general Anzuth will appear in the mirror.

The person in front of the mirror, if you offer a tribute that satisfies Anzuth, you can get the corresponding reward from this demon warlord.

The devil in the abyss loves nothing more than the soul.

General Anzus was no exception.

Dedicate your soul to him and the demon will be summoned from the mirror!
The summoned demon will obey the order of the sacrificer and fight for him until he dies.

Demons die in places other than the Abyss, never truly dying.

Its sinful spirit automatically returns to the abyss, and will be reborn in the blood pool, but its strength has degraded.

Therefore, the demons summoned from the mirror may be strong or weak, but they are not afraid of death. They are very competent as mercenaries.

Sacrificial souls and summoning demons seemed like a fair deal.

However, Orlando did not accept the deal proposed by Balrog General Anzus during his lifetime.

This is not only because he has doubts about the credibility of the demons, but he is worried that the summoned demons will not obey their orders and will kill him instead.

What's more... Anzus doesn't have a good reputation in the warlock world.

Saying his name can stop children crying at night!

Anzuth has a huge army of demons under his command, which invaded the world of warlocks centuries ago, causing havoc.

In the end, all major forces including humans, orcs, and elves joined forces, sacrificed countless warriors, and finally drove Anzuth's army back to the bottomless abyss.

The demon army led by An Zusi was recorded in the history books of various races, calling it... "The Burning Legion"!
The dark elves from Orlando also participated in the war against the invasion of the Burning Legion.

Dark elves are a long-lived race, and they can easily live for two or three hundred years.

Orlando still remembers how his mother was tortured and killed by demons, which cast a deep shadow in his young heart.

Therefore, he did not accept Anzus' deal.

With horror, he sealed the magic mirror.

Lest Anzuth and his Burning Legion use this magic mirror as a springboard to make a comeback!
Allen can understand and sympathize with Orlando's childhood shadow.

However, he does not have such a psychological shadow.

The demon legion that exists in the meditation world cannot affect reality, so he doesn't mind satisfying his curiosity.

Lift the velvet cover directly, and recite the spell in front of the magic mirror.

Ripples of magic power appeared on the mirror, and the figure of Balor, the flame demon Anzus, emerged from the mirror.

The demon king was tall and mighty, with black wings on his back and a pair of twisted horns raised from his forehead.

The raging flames around the body radiate high temperature through the mirror surface, making Allen feel scorching hot,

How strong is the Balrog General Anzusi?
Allen couldn't see through.

After all, the level difference between the two sides is too great.

When Allen was observing Anzus, General Balrog was also observing him across the mirror.

"Young friend, what has become of my old friend Orlando?"

"Orlando is dead. My name is Pretty Boy, and I am the new owner of the magic mirror." Allen told the truth.

"I feel sorry for Orlando, but this is a turnaround."

An Zusi's smile did not conceal his gloating.

"Orlando is a coward and dare not make a deal with me, young man, I hope you have more courage and...ambition than Orlando."

"I won't talk nonsense, let me introduce the trading rules to you first."

"As you know, in our Abyss, souls are a common currency."

"I need to accumulate enough souls to grow the Burning Legion and improve my status in the bloody battle."

"Young man, my request is very simple."

"You help me collect souls, and I'll help you recruit troops."

"The more souls you give me, the more abyssal mercenaries you can get."

"We all know that the world is unfair."

"Some people are born nobles, while others can only live on their knees."

"The soul is the same, there are high and low."

"The soul of the strong can be exchanged for powerful mercenaries with me."

"The soul of the weak, sorry, can only be exchanged for the little one."

"If I remember correctly, on your side, are you used to dividing arms into seven levels?"

"According to your habits, I also divide my troops into seven ranks."

"In this way, the exchange at the same level will be clear at a glance."

Saying that, Anzus raised his hand.

On Allen's side of the mirror, densely packed forms appeared near the edge.

In the form, fill in the 1st to 7th-level arms of each race, as well as the demon arms that can be exchanged.

"Young man, frankly speaking, we Tanari are born to be stronger than you mortals."

"The arms of the same level are at least half a level stronger than you!"

"So, one-to-one exchange, you have taken advantage of it!"

Mo Jun rubbed his hands, smiling like a profiteer.

"The opportunity is rare, don't miss it!"

Allen was not busy making decisions, so he went through the arms exchange table first.

As An Zusi said, according to this price list, the demon arms exchanged are generally stronger than the sacrificial arms!

And it's not a little bit strong.

The gap between certain types of arms is simply outrageous!
The devil's second-level soldier, in the world of mortals, it is not too much to say that it is a third-level soldier!

The individual strength of the devil, not to mention the mortals, the devil has to bow down!
The only weakness of the army composed of demons is that the military discipline is loose, and it is difficult to implement meticulous and complex tactical coordination.

The Burning Legion of Anzuth is different from the ordinary demon army.

Anzusi, the general of the Balrog, manages the army well and has strict discipline.

The demon soldiers he trained may not be as good as devils in tactics, but they are definitely not inferior to mortal soldiers.

Willful nonsense, cannibalism-these common problems of demons have zero tolerance in the Burning Legion!
Therefore, there is another advantage of making a deal with An Zusi, you don't have to worry about the summoned demon mercenaries going crazy and devouring the Lord.

An Zusi's ruby-like eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and he smiled and persuaded Allen:

"Young man, you look like an ogre wizard, why do you live in the dark elf's underground castle?"

"I guess, you probably have difficulties."

"Maybe you used to live on the surface world, once had your own castle and territory, and a group of orc warriors who were loyal to you."

"For some reason, you lost everything you once owned, and you had to hide in the dark and dark area, trying to survive."

"My friend, is this the life you want?"

"Are you willing to be a rat in the gutter all your life?"

"Give up your soul, young man, and take my troops to take back everything you lost and conquer your enemies!"

Allen had to admit that he was moved by General Balrog's words.

Isn't it the long-cherished wish of the ancestors to take back the territory and avenge the Griffin Empire and the Elven King's Court?
With the power of demons, it is undoubtedly a shortcut to make a comeback!
Allen thought that Zu Ling would readily accept the deal proposed by Anzus.

however……

He was wrong.

The moment he was about to accept the deal, the ancestor spirit of the ogre wizard, who had been silent for a long time, revived and strongly protested!
"No! As the prince of the orc clan, I will never make deals with demons!"

"The devil will promise you many good prospects, but at what cost?"

"Our orc family also participated in the glorious war against the invasion of the Burning Legion."

"My ancestors, shed blood and died in the fight against the devil, and contributed to the expulsion of the devil!"

"If I'm tempted by Anzus, turn to the devil, and act as the leader of the Burning Legion's comeback, a shameful traitor, how can I face my ancestors?!"

"Ah! I long for revenge, but I can't be dazzled by hatred!"

"You can't bring disaster to this world just to show off for a moment!"

"Those who make deals with the devil will play with fire and set themselves on fire in the end, regretting it too late!"

Zu Ling's excited confession made Allen very embarrassed.

Although this young ogre wizard is not a good person, he has a fair view of right and wrong.

Alan is not a born scumbag either. If he can straighten his spine and live his life, who would want to be a second devil and lead the way?
After some careful consideration, he finally accepted Zu Ling's protest.

Chant the spell and turn off the magic mirror.

"Oh, young man, you are still too young!"

"We need each other and will meet again."

An Zusi's face, with a trace of regret, disappeared in the magic mirror.

Allen is willing to respect the position of the ancestors and not to make deals with the devil.

Helpless things are impermanent.

Not long after, fate brought him back to the magic mirror again.
