Chapter 501: The Nature of a Demon Warlock
Chapter 494 – The Essence of a Demon Warlock
After sleeping for three days and three nights, Jinx woke up, and after eating a relatively hearty meal, she began her intense study career, not even having the time to take a closer look at the changes that had occurred in her body.
“The vast majority of people think Demon Warlocks are a bunch of mindless lunatics, slaughter, sacrifice, summoning demons, is all there is to it.” Wearing a floor-length black dress with a scarlet shawl, Enya didn’t have delicate makeup, only a slightly serious expression as she clutched a thick book, explaining to Jinx about the nature of Demon Warlocks in a light tone.
“It’s right and it’s not right.” Enya put down the book in her hands and said seriously to Jinx.
“It’s right because Demon Warlocks derive their power from their own bloodline, so many self-awakened Demon Warlocks believe that they don’t need to learn or train, and that with time, with battles, and with sacrifices, the power just keeps on coming, and that’s why Demon Warlocks have such a bad reputation, because they submit to the power of their bloodline, and succumb to their own desires. ”
“The reason it’s not true is that even demons have limits, let alone demon warlocks who just have a demonic bloodline, not to mention that fools who don’t master their own power and allow their reason to be replaced by their desires will sooner or later be consumed by their own demonic bloodline, turning into all that the source of the bloodline is, just like a sacrifice.” Enya tapped on the table and motioned for Jinx to write it down in her notes, it was a key point for future questions.
“Later on, influenced by mages, sorcerers and witches, a group of demon scholars also emerged, although they often fell into madness and even did things that even Demon Warlocks could not stand, it must be said that they made an important contribution to the future development of Demon Warlocks, and also allowed the Demon Warlock’s system of power to gradually become more fleshed out.” Enya said a few names of demon scholars for Jinx to write down, and gave the poor girl a list of books, these large books stacked up taller than her head, although these are parchment books with thick pages, but the recorded content is still not too little, a lot of things that no one explains can not be understood at all, it seems that Jinx has to get through it.
“Nowadays, Demon Warlocks categorize power into Summoning, Magic and Ritual.” Enya continued to explain as she used her magic to construct summoning formations, fireballs, and an altar that impressed Jinx.
“Summoning is the most common ability used by Demon Warlocks, directly summoning a contracted Imp can save a lot of effort, and paying a certain price to summon a powerful Demon when necessary can often serve to turn the tide or create favorable conditions for escape.”
“But you can’t rely too much on summoned demons, because demons are not loyal summons, there are many warlocks killed by their own summoned demons every year, so the only way to subdue those demons is to be strong enough yourself, and that requires magic.”
“Many people, including Demon Warlocks themselves feel that the profession of Demon Warlock does not need to learn magic, simply by awakening it is fine, there is no need for arduous study, in fact this is wrong, although the special bloodline makes it difficult for Demon Warlocks to learn new magic, it is not impossible to learn it, these are two concepts.” Enya said this with some playfulness, obviously she was from the learning school.
“As for the rituals, I don’t recommend beginners to touch them, because those who need the rituals are invariably high level demons, and high level demons are already able to control their chaotic killing nature very well, which means that they are able to calm down and think, so the slightest carelessness will cost them their lives, after all, there’s nothing more terrifying than a demon that knows how to think. ” Enya recalled her past bad experience, even if it was put into the present it was still a very scary thing, so she said to Jinx very seriously.
“But you are special because the demon that gave you the seed of power . Is benevolent.” Speaking of this, even Enya couldn’t help but show an odd expression, even if her suspicions had been tentatively confirmed, there was still a feeling of unreality.
“Merciful?” Jinx’s expression was equally unbelievable, because the demons she had heard since she was a child were the embodiment of terror, and since she had entered the Devil’s Valley, the ones she had come into contact with were all kinds of cruelty and murderousness, for her to believe that the demons were benevolent was simply an insult to her intelligence, and she was already thirteen years old, a young girl, no longer a child.
“As unbelievable as it is, which Garden Lord is indeed merciful.” Enya then explained to Jinx the level of danger in choosing a demon lord for the magic blood ritual, and it could be argued that her being alive was the best proof of the Garden Lord’s benevolence. Jinx had a feeling of being at a loss for words, after all, this kind of behavior from Enya was the same as telling the victim that she had cut her brake line before and that you proved your luck by staying alive.
But what could be done about it, Jinx was now the other’s apprentice, could she still turn her back on her own teacher.
And in comparison, Enya’s behavior was already considered merciful among the Demon Warlocks, because before performing the Demon Blood Ceremony for Jinx, she already had five layers of certainty, compared to those Demon Warlocks who didn’t even have a single point of certainty before treating their apprentices as expendable, she did claim to be merciful.
Vaguely aware of the danger of the group of Demon Warlocks, Jinx did not dwell on this matter any longer, as her father had told her not to care about the previous loss, but to focus on the next transaction, to avoid the previous problems from occurring here again.
What’s more, now her study, life, and even safety, all rely on this teacher, even if the other party proclaimed the means of plotting against her in front of her, she could only pretend to be deaf.
The good thing is that the most dangerous level has already passed, and now Jinx has changed from a disposable consumable to an experimental product that needs to be cherished and used, so Enya is indeed teaching her seriously.
The nature of a Demon Warlock dictated that it was impossible to focus all of one’s energy on theoretical learning, so after a few days, Enya taught Jinx to summon demons.
It was very simple for a Demon Warlock to summon a demon, from promising payment to cajoling to forcing the summoning of a detainer to choose at will, and theoretically the stronger the strength the more cost saving it would be.
If you meet a good one you can sign a demon contract, and the next time it won’t be a random summon, but an exclusive one.
“Concentrate and drill a hole wherever the magic leads you.” Enya’s instructions were vague, in fact, summoning was very esoteric because it involved space and positioning, which mage who wanted to perform it must not receive years of education and experimentation.
And the Demon Warlock was able to summon in the early stages, mainly relying on instinct rather than knowledge, so the more detailed the explanation, the lower the success rate would be instead, it would be better to leave everything to instinct.
