This world is very mysterious.

Even today with such advanced technology, there are still too many unsolved mysteries, such as the Bermuda Triangle, the majestic pyramids, the curse of the pharaohs, and the legendary crystal bones...

But people firmly believe that with the development of science and technology, these unsolved mysteries will naturally be solved one by one. The current unsolved mysteries are just that technology has not developed enough to solve them.

But few people know that there is another thing in the world. Since the word science appeared, it has been branded as "no matter how advanced science is, it can never be solved."

This thing is...

magic!

If someone had told Zhuang Mingge that magic existed three days ago, Zhuang Mingge would have decided to tell him that it was getting late, so you should go to bed.

But now...

He sat on the sofa with his legs spread wide, staring intently at a notebook placed on the coffee table in front of him.

The notes were somewhat incomplete and the paper was yellowed. It had obviously been aged for some time, but the handwriting was very clear. But the only thing that gave Zhuang Mingge a headache was that the font used to write the content on the notes was not in Chinese.

It's English.

But of course these are not problems. As the best student in Linhai City's No. 1 High School, Zhuang Mingge only spent one day interpreting this English note.

So Zhuang Mingge became a little Spartan.

It's not because my ancestors were pure Han Chinese for eighteen generations, but an English note was handed down as a family heirloom. It's just that the content written in the note is too weird and bizarre.

Magic, demon, contract, magic circle...

If this was just a prank, the contents recorded in this notebook would be too detailed and shocking.

Even people with developed imaginations cannot create a fantasy and bizarre magical world out of thin air.

If the content recorded in the notes is true, then the world Zhuang Mingge knew was shattered into pieces almost in an instant. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was turned upside down.

This notebook was left to him by Zhuang Mingge's grandfather. His grandfather Zhuang Bei was a veteran during the Anti-Japanese War. He had achieved several first-class meritorious services and was a regiment leader at the highest level. During the Anti-Japanese War, he met a foreigner with an eccentric personality.

, seems to be called Euro Hams.

Zhuang Mingge's grandfather, who couldn't read a word, naturally couldn't understand the foreigner's foreign language, but the foreigner spoke fluent Chinese. During the Anti-Japanese War, the two fought against the Japanese together and cooperated several times, and became good friends.

Later, when the Anti-Japanese War ended, Grandpa's friend named Ou Luo was transferred away, and he forgot to take this notebook with him when he left. Later, when Grandpa was about to return the notebook to Ou Luo, the war broke out again.

The U.S. imperialists invaded North Korea and prepared to use this as a springboard to attack the newly established Chinese government. Zhuang Mingge's grandfather broke off contact with Ou Luo in anger and joined the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea to fight those Americans.

To this day, my grandfather has passed away and has not returned the notes to this foreigner.

When my grandfather passed away a few days ago, he called Zhuang Mingge to his side, carefully talked about Ou Luo and him, and told Zhuang Mingge to return the notebook to Ou Luo's descendants if he became successful in the future.

If our banker doesn’t take his stuff, we’ll give it back to him if it belongs to him!

Zhuang Mingge was curious. He didn't expect that his grandfather, who couldn't read a word, actually had foreign friends, so he couldn't help being curious and opened the contents of the notes.

The content in the notes was about magic that went beyond science fiction. It took Zhuang Mingge several days to digest part of it.

The result was dumbfounded.

If the content recorded above was not too detailed, Zhuang Mingge would have almost thought that this was the nonsense of a lunatic, magic enthusiast, or enthusiast.

Magic has been recorded in the ancient times of the West. Later, with the rise of the Holy See, magic was called the power of demons by the people of the Holy See. It even launched the darkest and coldest witch hunting sport. Any human being who likes magic or has something to do with magic will do so.

was sentenced to death.

At first, Zhuang Mingge thought that these were just the Holy See slandering these poor women in order to maintain its status. In fact, this was not the case.

The Holy See has not slandered you at all.

According to the records in the notes, magic is just an abbreviation, and the real name should be... the law of the devil.

Only humans who have signed a contract with the devil and offered sacrifices are eligible to use magic.

So witch hunting is not a slander at all. Although most things related to magic are evil, one thing that cannot be changed is that... magic is actually the law of the devil.

Those who can use magic are those who have signed a contract with the devil and offered sacrifices.

These sacrifices are all kinds of strange, some are animal entrails, some are human corpses, and some are human souls. The larger the sacrifice, the more it can please the devil and gain extraordinary power.

Call the wind and rain, omnipotent.

If you can sacrifice one million people as sacrifices to the devil, and the transaction is successful, then congratulations, you are already invincible.

Therefore, even though magicians are very powerful, the source of magic is too evil. Neither the divine authority nor the royal authority allows such existence, and human sacrifice is even more taboo.

Therefore, magicians and witches at that time did not dare to appear openly on any occasion.

Just like the current street rats, they are enemies of divine power and royal power, and they are also enemies of ordinary people. No one wants to become a sacrifice and be sacrificed to the devil in a daze.

Until a genius appears.

His name is...Merlin.

Zhuang Mingge was no stranger to Merlin. He had heard too many rumors about Merlin. He was the greatest sage in the West, the teacher of King Arthur of Great Britain, and the greatest magician recorded in unofficial history.

Regardless of whether it is a film or television material or a novel biography, Merlin will appear as a magician and win people's cheers and admiration. This is obviously too inconsistent with the magician sacrificing humans to please the devil.

Although he is obviously an evil existence, why does he receive so much cheers and applause, and is even called a sage and becomes Arthur's teacher?

Was the world deceived by his performance?

Obviously not.

The notes didn't record the events of Mei Lin in too much detail, just a few brushstrokes, but the content in them shocked Zhuang Mingge.

The genius Merlin changed the status of magicians and even magic.

Because he deceived...Satan!

Well, this is another famous existence, and its popularity is so widespread that even Merlin cannot compare to one ten thousandth of it.

Satan, the king of hell, the king who rules over all demons!

One thing to make clear here is... don't think that Satan is a fool with only strength but no brain. He is much smarter than anyone imagines.

In any record, Satan appears in front of the world with a cunning face. Even before humans appeared, Satan had already become the opponent of heaven and the king of hell. If he is really empty and has no power,

Idiots with brains have been destroyed by heaven countless times.

Over the long and endless years, Satan is obviously wise, and his cunning and wisdom are unstoppable. In his eyes, human conspiracy and cunning are simply like the thoughts of a three-year-old child, superficial and ridiculous.

The problem arises.

How did Merlin, our greatest sage, deceive Satan? Compared with the sun and dust, Merlin actually deceived Satan when they were completely unequal.

In the eyes of many people, it is as incredible as an ant raping an elephant.

So how did he do it? No one knows.

People just know that starting from Merlin, the status of magicians has been greatly improved. Even from that time, magicians were truly called magicians, not witches or wizards.

That era was called the Age of Merlin.

The notes record that since the age of Merlin, humans have summoned demons and made contracts with demons. They no longer require any sacrifices, but only things that seem insignificant to humans.

And what they obtained was no longer magic, but seeds.

The seeds condensed by the devil's power, as long as they are taken care of carefully, watered and fertilized well, the seeds will sprout, and humans can also have the power of the devil.

Just as the devil's law is called magic, the devil's power is simply called...magic.

After possessing magic power, humans can learn to control magic. This is the origin of magicians.

Zhuang Mingge is now a little confused about whether he should give it a try, summon the devil, make a contract, and obtain a magic seed.

To be honest, the magician, after knowing this, he couldn't sit still.

Everyone has a martial arts dream in their heart, but it is undeniable that everyone also has a magic dream in their heart. Zhuang Mingge prefers the magician who can call upon the wind and rain than the hero who performs chivalry and justice.

After struggling for a few days, Zhuang Mingge decided to give it a try and summon demons according to what was recorded in the competition.

Before that, he had been using this notebook to determine whether summoning demons was risky. After getting a positive answer, he put aside his hesitation and worries, took three days off from school, and began to draw the magic circle for summoning demons at home.

After his parents passed away early and his only grandfather passed away a few days ago, no one can stop the crazy Zhuang Mingge. In other words, he is already invincible.

Anyway, I am alone. If I miss out on such interesting things, my future life will be too sad.

With this thought in mind, he bought several packs of blood from the hospital and used the blood to carve the magic circle. After making sure it was correct, on a full moon day, he pointed at the moonlight and recited the magic incantation.

He is not a magician, but his notes record that on the day of the full moon, the summoning array composed of blood will communicate with the devil's gate. If you recite the ancient mantra, there is a half chance that the devil can be summoned.

"According to the ancient contract, Almighty Satan, please grant your followers glory, open it, the door of the devil, open it, the cheers of the devil, open it, the carnival of the devil, open it, the roar of the devil, please come to this

The world of sin, paint this world with dark colors, turn it on, turn it on, turn it on!"

Nothing happened.

Silent moonlight, silent people, equally silent rooms and silent magic circles.

In other words... it failed.

"Is the half chance really too low? Or am I just the spearman, and I'm never lucky enough? Let's just summon it once."

A somewhat unwilling Zhuang Mingge recited the incantation again.

By the way, the mantra is entirely recited in English and has nothing to do with Chinese.
