Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

[Kel'Thuzad: Sorry, I want to confirm again, what you want to consign anonymously is the summoning ritual of high-level demon sacrifice, and the target of the summoning ritual is... yourself? ]

When Harvey typed this line of words on the button of the "Magic Brain" instrument, he couldn't believe it.

This demon from another space wants to sell the sacrificial ritual that summons himself in the anonymous consignment of the forum?

Are all you demons so good at playing like this?

While waiting for the other party's reply, Harvey couldn't help but start thinking about what the meaning and purpose of his doing this was.

All the members of the Magic Network Forum are powerful high-level spellcasters, which are different from the ordinary people and stupid nobles who are easily tempted and corrupted by the devil as rumored.

What's more, there are many arcane spellcasters who are good at summoning among these members. Even if they really try the sacrificial ritual, they are very likely to counter the summoned demons on the spot.

This demon in the magic network space couldn't even deal with himself, a mid-level spellcaster, let alone deal with other members in the forum.

[Mind Hunter: Don't worry, there is no malice in my deal, and there is no so-called conspiracy. ]

[Mind Hunter: Just in time, in return for your introduction to the forum, I am willing to share some of the secret knowledge of the demon race with you...]

Harvey immediately became energetic and sat up straight.

[Kel'Thuzad: I am very interested in the ancient knowledge of the demon race. This is a very fair deal. ]

...

More than an hour later, Harvey heard from the demon in the code name "Mind Hunter" that completely subverted his past knowledge and all the history and knowledge about the ancient race of demons.

When he was still studying at the Academy of the Dead, Harvey was very interested in ancient races such as dragons, demons, and giants when he was studying the general knowledge course of the extraordinary races on the continent.

The disappearance of dragons and giants on the continent was caused partly by their own internal struggles and partly by the joint resistance of humans, demons, elves, dwarves and other short-lived species.

The only difference is that demons are not native races that originally lived in the northern and southern continents, but extraordinary creatures that invaded from different spatial planes.

This invasion is not completely unlimited, but requires people to take the initiative to perform summoning rituals and open the connection channel between the two planes by sacrifice.

The various sacrificial summoning rituals circulating on the continent basically target lower-level demons who are unable to communicate and are chaotic and bloodthirsty by nature. This leads to most of the rituals ending with the summoner being unable to control the summoned target, resulting in a horrific tragedy.

This is also the main reason why all academic spellcasters have been repeatedly warned and reminded not to try summoning and sacrificial magic easily.

But the inner demon told Harvey that the essence of all summoned demons is not to play with human nature, seduce mortals to fall, or enjoy bloody sacrifices...

What they really need to obtain from the summoner is the strong desire that the summoner actively generates when the sacrificial summoning ceremony is held - something called "willpower".

Demons are actually a supernatural race that feeds on "willpower".

This is why most of them will stimulate the summoner's deep desire for certain things in the way of seduction and promise, whether it is wealth, power, strength, beauty...

Harvey feels that the answer to this question is very credible. Taking the inner demon of this body in the magic network plane as an example, it can be basically confirmed that demons do not really need to feed on those evil flesh and blood sacrifices.

Because there are no living entities in the magic network space, all wanderers exist in it in the form of spiritual power.

As for why he took the initiative to trade the sacrificial summoning ceremony involving himself, the answer is actually simpler.

Due to the dual suppression of the church and the federation in the real world, few people would risk trying to summon powerful upper demons. Even if there were occasionally corrupted spellcasters who were not firm in their positions, they would at most summon some easily controlled lower demons to drive them.

This led to the upper demons obtaining less and less "willpower" through summoning and sacrifice, and they could no longer maintain their activity in the alien space through "willpower", and could only be forced to fall into a deep sleep.

The frequent loss of control and evil deeds of lower demons in the real world, in turn, confirmed the evil and danger of the demon summoning ritual, and ultimately led to the double collapse of the reputation and survival of the demon clan.

"This is obviously a case of bad money driving out good money, haha." Harvey couldn't help but complain when he thought of this.

...

"Mind Hunter" is a unique outlier even among the special upper demons such as the Heart Demon.

He loves to observe and explore, and is unwilling to give up collecting and absorbing "willpower" easily, so he frequently travels through the magic network space, constantly contacts with wanderers of other races he encounters, and carefully obtains the "willpower" he needs from them.

However, this collection method is too covert and cautious, and to a large extent cannot arouse the other party's strong desire in their hearts, so all along his gains can only maintain basic mental activity, barely enough to prevent himself from falling asleep.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!

Originally, he took the initiative to contact Harvey and successfully joined the Magic Network Forum, so that the "Mind Hunter" thought that he could obtain a large amount of "willpower" stably from then on, and he would never have to worry about food and drink again.

Who knew that this spellcaster forum would completely block his innate perception. No matter how he tried, he could not absorb any "willpower" stimulated by the forum members.

When Harvey heard the inner demon complain to him about this reason with a little grievance, he couldn't help but laugh, and he also understood that the other party could not understand the operating logic and principles of the spellcaster forum at all.

With his own terrifying "spiritual anchor" as the firewall of the forum, any positioning and perception from the magic network could not reach the forum itself.

Thinking of this, Harvey pressed the typing key of the "magic brain" and planned to respond to the transaction request of the "mind hunter".

[Kel'Thuzad: Mr. Heart Demon, I think you don't need to trade your summoning ritual anonymously anymore. If you don't mind, I am willing to make this deal with you directly, and I will perform the ritual myself to summon you...]

[Mind Hunter: I praise you for being a kind and curious human spellcaster, Mr. Locator. I wonder what price I need to pay this time in exchange for your help?]

Harvey's mouth curled up slightly, and he pressed the typing keys and typed out the transaction requirements he had prepared long ago.

[Kel'Thuzad: It's very simple. For this summoning ritual, I need you to bring a creature with you... I want you to personally capture a creature you mentioned before... a creature that lives in the magic net like you - a demon spirit.]
