Beta was a person who was very good at taking care of his friends, or rather, everyone in the 6 was a person who was very good to their friends, and if he could blend in with them, he naturally wouldn't be too bad. … Tsk. …
It was just that men were careless creatures, and many times they clearly thought of certain things, but forgot to execute or act because of work or other reasons. This made many women feel that their boyfriends or husbands didn't care about them.
Beta was the same at this time. He knew that Emma and Sophie lacked a magic pet, and it stood to reason that he should have given them the magic modeling of the contracted magic pet long ago, but there had been so many things recently, one after another, that he almost forgot about it.
Emma looked at the two flame imps, a little excited. Any spellcaster understood how helpful having a magic pet was to them, but she had some doubts. "Can these little things be used as magic pets? They don't seem to be animals. "
"They are animals." Beta said indifferently. "In essence, even humans can be contracted as magic pets, as long as your mental power is high enough to withstand the backlash of the other party's soul. And the souls of these two little flame imps aren't strong, only a little stronger than magical beasts, so it shouldn't be difficult for you. "
"I'm willing!" Emma suppressed her excitement. Being able to contract a magic pet was a good thing in itself, no matter what kind of magic pet it was. Besides, these two flame imps weren't ugly.
"I'm willing, too." Sophie looked at Beta with sparkling eyes.
Alice was a little dissatisfied listening on the side. "Why don't I have a share?"
Beta said angrily, "You're a Summoner yourself, why do you need to contract a magic pet? Summoners are a profession that requires soul resonance and mental power to summon powerful creatures, and if you contract a small part of yourself with a magic pet, it will cause some magic resonance with Summoner spells, affecting your ability to summon creatures. Do you want to avoid such a side effect, or are you willing to contract a magic pet? "
Alice stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
The magic modeling of the contracted magic pet was quickly completed under Beta's pen, and Emma and Sophie both leaned over the table and looked at the modeling over and over again.
It wasn't until she had it all memorized that Sophie said, "Beta. I will never tell anyone else about the model of my contracted magic pet, not even our Pope. "
Emma nodded at Beta. "Me too."
The two girls' eyes were filled with determination and tears. Beta didn't think that a complete model of a contracted magic pet was amazing, but for the two of them, they understood. This contract map could be exchanged for a large amount of money and magic materials in any Magic Tower.
Now in the entire world, including the Realm of Devils, there were probably no more than thirty people who could contract a magic pet. But now, the two of them would soon be added to the list.
As long as it was an intelligent creature, it would not be willing to lose its freedom. The two flame imps were no exception. They knew that something was wrong and wanted to escape, but Beta and Kail grabbed their necks and pressed them to the floor in front of the two girls.
The two kids struggled with all their might, but it was useless. Emma and Sophie both separated a fragment of their soul consciousness. They each tapped into the head of one of the kids. Then the scene got a little out of control. The two kids kept rolling on the ground, screaming, while the two magical girls held their heads in their hands and kept moaning softly, looking extremely uncomfortable.
Kail had seen Beta's contracted magic pet before, so he wasn't surprised. Alice, on the other hand, was a little frightened. She looked at her two companions and muttered, "It's a good thing I don't need a contracted magic pet to strengthen myself."
It was a good thing that neither of them was weak, unlike Beta. They dared to contract a magic pet at level 1. Emma was already a Master professional, and Sophie was level 7, so their mental power was much stronger than Beta's at the time. Therefore, the pain from the backlash of the contract was also much less.
Soon, Emma was the first to recover from the pain of winter. She was sweating all over, and the flame imp she had contracted also stood up.
Compared to the original, the red imp's skin color was lighter, closer to pink, and the flames on its tail had grown a little larger. It looked extremely energetic.
The one contracted by Sophie, on the other hand, had skin that turned reddish-black. Seeing this change, Beta connected it to his magic pet, Joan Of Arc, and knew that this world was slightly different from the game world. The contracted magic pet seemed to be tainted with the characteristics of the master.
Obviously, both of their magic pets had been successfully contracted. Although they were all flame imps, there were some differences in the evolution of their abilities after being contracted by different people.
Emma's flame imp had the ability to create whirlwinds and wind magic shields, while Sophie's flame imp had the power of Inferior Fireball increased, plus the ability to escape into the darkness and become invisible.
Emma's flame imp seemed more versatile, able to attack and defend, while Sophie's flame imp was more offensive.
Mages couldn't help but be overjoyed after contracting a magic pet. After the two of them played with their magic pets for a while, Beta clapped his hands and said, "Okay, we should do something next. Emma, and Sophie, let your magic pets tell us everything they know about that underground city."
… …
… …
Magic pets couldn't refuse their master's request if it was nomological power. The two imps told everything they knew at the request of the two girls. The longer they talked, the more silent everyone became, and the more disappointed Kail became.
Now everyone was completely certain that Kail's ancestor was the Demon God of the 37th Realm, Phoenix. It was also the legendary sacred beast that punished evil and promoted justice, the Fire Phoenix.
Under the rule of Phoenix, the population of the 37th Realm skyrocketed, and so it could no longer accommodate any more people, so with the help of Phoenix, they came to the human world, opened a huge underground city under the mountain, and lived in seclusion.
After speaking to the two imps, Beta was silent for a moment and said, "Emma, Sophie, let your magic pets return to the underground city and find a chance to approach the 'king' through the mental link. Since the two imps say he's human, I'm curious about who he is and what he looks like."
"Alice, go outside and use your elven abilities to help us find some fruit." There was some helplessness in Beta's tone. "After two days of rations, my mouth is very uncomfortable, and I want to eat some fruit for a change."
Alice glanced at Kail with some worry, then left the mystra's mansion with the other two magical girls.
The three girls left, leaving only Beta and Kail in the space.
The Hero was silent, seemingly thinking about life, but Beta knew very well that the young man's mind was in a mess — a mess was barely enough to describe it.
"Why, do you suddenly feel unmotivated? Just because your ancestor is a Demon God? "
Kail turned his head and glanced at Beta, then he sighed and said, "I've always been proud of my identity as a descendant of the Hero, but now I've suddenly become a descendant of a Demon God. That's a Demon God, not some sacred beast, and we've all been deceived by it. "
Beta somewhat understood the reason for his disappointment. "Why can't a Demon God be a sacred beast? Does it only have one identity?"
"Isn't it a lie if a person has multiple identities?"
"It's not a lie." Beta smiled. "It's a Demon God, but it's also a sacred beast, and the point is, it's really a good person … I should say a good bird, and that's enough!"
"But it's a Demon God, and it's doing good deeds. What will others think of it?" Kail was a very serious and good young man, but he was a little stubborn at this time. "If it gives up its identity as a Demon God, I naturally think it's good, but it's still one of the lords of the Realm of Devils, and yet it comes to human affairs from time to time to punish evil. It doesn't care about the evil of the Realm of Devils, so what right does it have to come to human affairs and be a sacred beast?"
Beta slapped the back of Kail's head with all his might, making him dizzy. Then, he slowly said, "Actually, you're afraid that others won't recognize your identity, right? You're afraid that others will accuse you, a descendant of a Demon God, of being a hero, of having no right to judge whether others are evil or not!"
Kail was stunned for a moment, and he didn't say anything.
Beta knew that he had guessed correctly. He smiled and said, "I told you before that the strong don't pay much attention to etiquette, but now I have to tell you that the so-called good and evil is actually more of a matter of standpoint."
"Standpoint?"
Beta smiled and said, "Yes, there's no absolute good in this world, and there's no absolute evil. Many times, it's the difference in views caused by the two sides' worldviews. Of course, those who like to kill their own kind for fun are indeed evil people. They already have mental problems, and it's actually reasonable to explain it with the difference in worldviews. "
"Teacher, I don't know what absolute good and evil is, but if a person doesn't have a suitable identity, and doesn't even have the correct identity, they can't be judged evil. It's like asking a thief to be a judge, it's not appropriate. "
"So, do you think you're a judge, or a thief?" Beta's tone carried a hint of ridicule. "That's why I think you're a little self-abased. Even if Phoenix is a two-faced Demon God, as its descendant, what does your identity have to do with him? Must the descendant of a thief be a thief? To be honest, I think you're a little too delicate. If I wasn't your teacher, I would directly call you an idiot. You can't even understand such a simple question. Have you thrown all the knowledge and thinking I taught you in the past into the ditch? "
Kail's body stiffened. "Teacher, your words hurt my self-esteem. Although I'm indeed not very smart, I can at least think of some problems."
"And then thinking about it, you brought yourself into the ditch. And it's the kind of ditch where your head was squeezed out from the cracks. "
Kail's face was full of embarrassment. In the past, when Beta was teaching in Reed Village, he would occasionally scold people. Every time he scolded, it would make people feel that they deserved it, and they couldn't even find a reason to refute.
Beta crossed his legs and assumed the posture he used to give lectures in Reed Village: "Let me tell you a story."
