It was very difficult for most intermediate mages to come into contact with knowledge of devil contracts.
However, the information Feng Chou had obtained from the Arcane Tower was very comprehensive. There was more detailed information about devils, not only about the magic ritual to summon intermediate devils, but also many things to take note of when dealing with devils.
Compared to the chaotic and evil demons, devils who were obsessed with order and contracts were less dangerous.
Unlike the demons who would start a fight at the slightest disagreement, devils preferred to use fraudulent contracts to cheat others of their body, mind, and even soul.
To deal with devils, one only needed to be strong enough.
To deal with devils, one needed to be careful enough, and follow some principles summed up by predecessors to avoid risks to a certain extent. These principles included not signing any contracts made by devils …
Therefore, in the Arcane Empire, arcanists were not against dealing with devils, but the prerequisite was that one had to learn a course called 'Devils and Contracts'.
This course was taught in the Arcane Tower.
Therefore, Feng Chou knew that unless it was the first time he tried to summon a devil he did not understand, there was no need to use the Binding Room.
Since this was the Secret Law Conference's entry signing ceremony, it would definitely be held frequently. It was impossible to have a different Devil Judge every time. If it wasn't the first time a Devil Judge was summoned, and it was only an ordinary Devil Judge, there would be no need to use a sealing room to summon a Devil Judge. Sly Devils were naturally adept at hiding their presence, so a simple sealing formation would be enough to isolate the Devil Judge's presence as a precaution. As long as there were enough Calamity Coins, Devils would be more than willing to provide a Devil Judge service to a familiar business partner.
This was the most basic knowledge in the 'Devils and Contracts' course.
As a master vampire mage, dealing with a high-level warrior and a level 10 mage, of course he did not need the help of the Binding Room. However, if he wanted to create a vampire spawn, he would need to use the Binding Room or a deserted place to do so.
The process of a vampire creating a blood-sucking derivative was itself a middle-level magic ritual that required tens of minutes. During this time, the blood would boil, and some professionals with high perception would be able to easily sense the clues. The people invited to the banquet tonight were basically nobles, and among the nobles, there were quite a number of people who secretly worked as priests and templars for the God of Nobles and Knights.
Once the vampire's aura was leaked, all of Count Patrick's painstaking efforts would be for naught. He would also become a rat on the street, hated by everyone.
Therefore, when vampires created vampire spawns, they either had to do it in the wilderness or use a large-scale sealing formation to prevent their aura from leaking out.
The sealing room in the magic lab was the best sealing circle. Not to mention the magic ritual to revive the vampire spawn, even if the "Dark Praise of the Immortal" was held here, there was no need to worry about being discovered.
For Count Patrick, bringing Feng Chou into a ready-made binding room was naturally the simplest and most convenient choice.
Although he had guessed Patrick's intentions, Feng Chou had no intention of exposing him. Making a move in the shackles was exactly what he wanted.
The two of them stood on the teleportation circle with their own ulterior motives. Patrick casually activated the circle.
With a flash of light, they appeared in a spacious and dark basement.
Patrick turned around to look at Feng Chou, the corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile. Cold blood was gushing out from his body …
Looking at Patrick's suddenly sinister face, Feng Chou also revealed a slight smile. Then, his figure suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a three-inch-tall white jade tower floating in the air where he had been standing!
While Patrick was still in shock, a portal suddenly appeared above his head, and a three-meter-tall behemoth fell out of the portal with a heavy gust of wind.
* Clang! *
Even if the ground of the binding room had been reinforced by magic, fine cracks still appeared on it from the impact of more than ten tons of Aureate Steel Golem.
Patrick was worthy of being a quasi-legendary vampire. His reaction was so fast that it made one's hair stand on end. The moment before the golem hit the top of his head, he had successfully activated the Rogue's special skill, Shadow Step.
Shadow Step could borrow the power of shadows to enter the Shadow Realm for a short period of time. After moving a certain distance, one could return to the main material world.
The Shadow Realm was a very special inner plane. It was like a shadow, closely attached to the main material world. The boundary between it and the main material world was very weak. If one found the right way, it would be relatively easy to travel between the two worlds.
It was said that legendary Rogues could travel between the two worlds at will. They could sneak into the most heavily guarded places with the help of the Shadow Realm and return to the main material world without being noticed.
Patrick obviously could not do this. He could only use Shadow Step to travel a distance of tens of meters in the Shadow Realm.
This was the horror of a vampire mage. When a mage transformed into a vampire, the mage's mental strength would be transformed into blood energy. Blood energy could replace mental strength as the source of spellcasting. At the same time, it could also replace the Warrior's Hedegaard's power and the Rogue's Shadow Power.
Therefore, once a mage transformed into a vampire, they only needed a little training to master the abilities of a Rogue or a Warrior. However, it was difficult for Vampire Rogues and Warriors to master spellcasting.
When Patrick returned to the main material world from the Shadow Realm, he raised his left hand and was about to activate a spell ring on his finger.
However, he was surprised to find that he could not cast spells. Not only could he not cast spells with spell items, but he could not even activate his own spell slots.
"Anti-magic Field"!
A noun appeared in Patrick's mind.
"Boom!"
At this time, Patrick noticed the loud noise behind him. He subconsciously looked back and saw a huge shadow …
Feng Chou was in the Qiankun Tower. Qiankun Pagoda projected the scene it scanned in front of him in real time.
From the perspective of Feng Chou as a third party, the moment Patrick returned to the main material world from the Shadow Realm, the Asteel Golem moved.
The Asteel Golem was nearly three meters tall and weighed more than ten tons. Once it moved, it was as fast as lightning. Its huge figure even left a series of afterimages in Feng Chou's vision. Every step it took on the magically reinforced floor of the binding room would create a huge pit half a meter deep. The dense footsteps formed a string of rolling thunder …
From the time Patrick returned to the main material world to the time he raised his hand to cast a spell, the Asteel Golem was already within 30 meters of him. The anti-magic field carried by the Asteel Golem had already enveloped him. When he was slightly stunned by the failure of casting and was awakened by the thunderous footsteps and turned back, the Asteel Golem had already rushed to his side, the huge broadsword in its hand raised high …
The lightning-like blade flashed, and Patrick was cut in half from his chest in shock and confusion.
