101: Chapter 91 Is this what humans do?_1 101: Chapter 91 Is this what humans do?_1 “That… um…” The Maiden Priestess was completely at a loss, feeling as if a little deer was skipping wildly in her chest, ready to leap out. Mr. Gaven is so handsome and dashing. No, how could she say such a thing? It would be utterly embarrassing. Mr. Gaven, you are a good person. Sёarᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Isn’t that too polite? It is well known that Mr. Gaven is a good person; there’s no need to emphasize it again. Mr. Gaven, you’re so naughty. If she were to utter that, she’d probably explode on the spot and go to meet her Main God, Ilmater. “Just say, am I not a good person?” Gaven turned the short-answer question into a multiple-choice one because he realized his question was a bit suggestive. If this continued, the Maiden Priestess would steam herself cooked. The Maiden Priestess, who had basically lost the ability to think, nodded repeatedly: “Yes, Mr. Gaven is of course a good person, as good as the High Priest, as good as Mom and Dad.” “Do you think I would use that forbidden knowledge to harm people?” Gaven started to switch concepts. “Of course not, Mr. Gaven will only help people, he will never harm anyone.” Anna answered with confidence. “Power is not wrong; the user is. Good power, in the hands of evil people, will also do evil deeds, and evil power, in the hands of good people, will naturally do good deeds.” Although he was using this reasoning to persuade the Maiden Priestess, in reality, Gaven did not believe in this viewpoint. Because he knew that whether it was the Abyssal, Hell, or negative forces, they are all the physical manifestations of evil forces coalescing. Especially the powers of the Abyss and Hell, which are classic examples of erosion and temptation. Many extremely kind people, including the gods’ chosen, once they embrace the powers of the Abyss or Hell, might initially use their strong will to carry through their original ideals. Still, in the end, most fall into darkness. This is especially true for Hell, which inherently extols corruption and betrayal. The Lord of Hell, Adimodius, became so by falling from the most powerful Seraph, and Hell is the prison that the gods used to confine him. He transformed this place with his will into a prison that mirrored his nature, for all sinful souls. The Maiden Priestess didn’t have Gaven’s extensive experience and was utterly bamboozled by this seemingly sound theory, nodding again and again, “It seems to make sense.” “Since it’s forbidden knowledge, the most straightforward method is not to record it and not to let anyone have the chance to come into contact with it.” Gaven felt like he had sprouted demon wings and a tail, making him more qualified than a Dog Demon, “But your elders decided not to do so. Instead, they chose to record it at the back of the prayer scripture. What does that imply?” Gaven didn’t give Anna time to think, directly feeding her his ideas, “This shows that your elders also recognize this viewpoint, to be prepared for an unexpected need. When the time comes, it can be used to assist. Now is the time we need it, so what exactly did you find behind the prayer scripture?” The Maiden Priestess had her train of thought completely derailed by Gaven. By the time she realized it, she had already blurted everything out: “Soul Enslavement Contract, this kind of special contract can draw the inherent powers of devils or demons for one’s use. However, this has significant side effects. It will cause the user to undergo demonic transformations and there’s a certain risk that the soul will be tempted by the enslaved devil or demon, assimilated, and eventually become a slave to the devil…” Anna hastily added, “Such a forbidden contract should not be used if possible. Let’s think of other ways.” “Soul Enslavement Contract.” Gaven’s eyes lit up; he had heard of this contract. It was second only to the true names for controlling devils and demons. If he had known earlier that the Maiden Priestess had such a treasure in her hands, he wouldn’t have had to worry before. Of course, Gaven didn’t plan to use it himself. It had nothing to do with whether he had the confidence to resist the temptation of the devil. He had to cherish his own “feathers,” as he was meant to do great things in the future, dealing with various races and possibly even confronting devils and demons. What would it mean for him to walk around with a demonized body? He didn’t plan to use it, but he could let others use it. He had a bunch of Gnolls under his command, and they didn’t have so many scruples about Hell Power. “Leader, is this Dog Demon very important to you?” The voice of the Goblin Sorcerer Vick came from behind Gaven. Since Gaven did not assign him any official tasks besides meal times, Vick spent most of his time following five steps behind him, like Gaven’s shadow. Over time, Gaven got used to it and sometimes even forgot his presence. His natural profession wasn’t that of a Magician but an assassin — a Shadow Assassin; he was innately unobtrusive. Without even thinking, Gaven replied, “It’s not about being important or not. Many of my plans are made on the fly. Without it, we can find other methods. With it, we can make plans around it. Not only is its gnawing ability useful, but some of its spell-like abilities are also very helpful to us.” “If possible, I would like to sign this Soul Enslavement Contract,” the Goblin Sorcerer Vick said earnestly. “Mr. Vick, this is too dangerous,” the Maiden Priestess exclaimed. “That is a real devil, an actual devil. We shouldn’t treat this matter so lightly… I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have told you about the Soul Enslavement Contract.”
