‘The first meeting is important.’
I shook my head.
The Slaughter Demon is a being who wishes for the annihilation of humanity to avenge his compatriots. So, even if you treat them well, they will only end up disgusting you.
But what if I behave meanly?
It makes me even more angry, so I can’t treat them this way or that way.
It was not for nothing that rehabilitation was impossible.
‘There is only one way. ‘You have to train it.’
“Why do you think I bought you?”

“Mo, I don’t know. Help me.”
“Don’t act scared. Because I’m aware that you’re acting. Since they are a member of the Jewel Clan that has survived so far, they must have hidden powers.”
“… … .”
Silpine’s face became expressionless.
My spine became stiff, but with the help of the Black Flame Dragon, I was able to barely show it.
‘You have to do better from now on.’
Can demon beasts become friends with humans?
impossible. Because they are genetically wired to be instinctively hostile to humans.
Nevertheless, there are people who train and control magical beasts.
I also had to ‘train’ the slaughter horse.
‘It may be as dangerous as tightrope walking, and as difficult as climbing a cliff with one foot.’
The core of training is whips and carrots, but if it is a scary beast like a slaughter horse, whips will not work.
I had to use another method.
I continued, recalling memories of dealing with the most difficult client.
“You probably want to kill me right now, right? No, you would want to kill all humans. “Isn’t that right?”
“… … .”
Sylphine looked at me intently.
An expression that asks what kind of doggy noises you’re making.
“Whatever you have in mind is none of my business. “You just have to work for me.”
“Work?”
“Murder. “I have to see blood.”
“!!”
“I plan to stain this dark auction with blood.”
Seeing the interest that immediately filled Silpine’s eyes, I clenched my fists.
So, what I am trying now is ‘bait training’.
‘If you follow me, I’ll make sure you eat a lot of delicious food, so please don’t eat me.’
They won’t try to eat me until they run out of food.
“Hmm.”
Sylphine crossed her legs.
The sad acting was completely abandoned.
There is a slave seal carved by warlocks, but it does not work on her due to her cheat ability.
“What are you going to do if you trust me and I kill you too?”
Grinning.
It was a sincere smile.
This was important.
I had to make them think of me as a master to follow, not as prey.
“If you want to give up revenge on your people, do so.”
“!!”
“Because there is no hobby in saving a dog that bites its owner.”
Wow.
A strong sense of intimidation weighed down Silpine.
Of course, it’s just a bluff, but it’s the Black Flame Dragon’s bluff.
Silpine’s face hardened.
Of course, I wasn’t scared.
Immediately, the smiling face came back.
“hehehe, you’re a funnier person than I thought. great. “I’m looking forward to the future with my master♥”
A tingling voice.
If I were to interpret it, it would be something like, I will hold back for now, but I will excitedly look forward to the day when I will kill you later.
‘Oh, my dear. ‘What am I guilty of with such a psychopath?’
The slaughter horse wasn’t just out for revenge.
He was also a pleasure killer who enjoyed killing.
Since the pleasure killer even had the justification of revenge for his compatriots, he was practically a complete entity that no one could stop.
Since they threw out the bait of dyeing the dark auction with blood, it should be okay for now.
What happens after that is a problem, and I had a solution in mind for that.
‘First, we need to focus on seizing the gray ritual book. ‘It came out as a private auction item and the winning bidder has already been decided.’
Rather than conducting an auction publicly in front of everyone like before, it was a private auction conducted using the Philosopher’s Stone server.
‘The winning bidder is a fox mask. An unremarkable Lv. 6 He was a mage. ‘That’s not the problem.’
I swallowed my breath after reading the announcement.
The winning bid amount was 3.47 million pena. Considering its value, it was sold at an extremely low price.
The problem was:
‘I left it for storage at the Dark Magic Tower until the end of the auction period.’
Usually, items are received right away, but sometimes they are requested to be stored at the Dark Magic Tower.
This is because I am concerned that my items may be stolen or robbed by other attendees.
In other words, I am in a situation where I have to steal the gray sacrificial book against the Dark Magic Tower.
‘Ugh. ‘Damn it.’
It was an absolutely terrifying task to even imagine, but it had to be done.
I stood up.
“Get ready. “I have a place to go.”
I gave a short answer to the massacre that gave me a puzzled look.
“I’m going to attend the banquet.”
* * *
The dark auction lasts for 5 days.
Among them, the actual auction day is only the first day, and the rest is a banquet of fun and drinking throughout the day and night.
‘This banquet is the real deal of the dark auction.’
There is one rule at the banquet hall.
Do not harm fellow attendees.
No matter what the rest do, the Dark Magic Tower is not involved.
‘You will resort to all sorts of tricks to ‘legally’ steal your opponent’s treasure.’
To attend this banquet, you had to bring the winning treasure as admission.
A scheme to blatantly steal each other’s treasure.
If you don’t want your treasure taken away, you can just quietly stay in the room provided by the host, but the banquet hall was crowded with people.
It was because of greed to somehow steal more of other people’s treasures.
‘There won’t be a gray sacrificial altar at this banquet anyway.’
As mentioned before, the successful bidder requested the gray sacrificial book to be stored in the Dark Magic Tower.
There was no way he would show up at this banquet.
[welcome. Can I check the item that was successfully bid on?]
“Here’s this kid.”
[Yes, I confirmed it. Rabbit Mask has appeared! Bbangpare~ Please welcome everyone!]
The noisy banquet hall suddenly stopped.
Everyone turned to look at me.
“A rabbit mask?”
“Who the hell is it? “Paying 50 million penas?”
“Even Master couldn’t see through the identity of that rabbit mask.”
“If it’s your teacher, it’s Lv. 7 Isn’t this person close to the level of a high-ranking ‘master’? Nonsense. No way, that rabbit mask is Lv. 8 A transcendent?”
Eyes full of caution.
It was natural.
A state that cannot be guessed.
Tremendous wealth.
Plus the majesty of the Black Flame Dragon.
Anyone can see that I am a giant among giants.
Something happened there that further encouraged misunderstanding.
“Lord, master. scary. “Please protect me.”
The slaughter horse trembled and leaned on me.
As I looked at him to see what his intentions were, the Slaughter Demon smiled mischievously.
-Because it’s just fun.
‘… Originally, he had a mischievous style. The problem is that every time I play a prank, there’s blood.’
Attendees were shaken by the sight of the massacre.
“How could you subdue the proud Jewel Clan like that in just half a day?”
“Isn’t it true that they are self-centered people who never give in to their opponents even if they become idiots because of the pain?”
“What on earth is this? no way… “What about ten horses?”
My stomach stiffened coldly at the story someone brought up.
No matter how cool they were, Sipma was not a name that could be said carelessly.
The first person to speak quickly shut his mouth, but that was after the word ‘Sipma’ had already been etched into everyone’s minds.
Each of them whispered softly.
“What kind of being is the Ten Demons, how can they come to a place like this? “They must have sent a representative.”
“A representative is at that level?”
“By the way, has anyone seen the Infinity Card that the rabbit mask pulled out earlier? “It was a familiar pattern?”
I didn’t respond at all.
-I don’t care what you guys say.
I left him with this unlucky expression, and my arrogant appearance made the attendees even more misunderstanding.
‘Now it’s time for the bite to come.’
Eventually, it was time for this story to come up among the attendees.
“Isn’t the symbol engraved on the card earlier the symbol of the king of heaven?”
“… “That rabbit mask is the king of heaven?”
It was that moment.
A low whisper came from right next to me.
“Van Ecclesia, what on earth are you doing?”
When I turned my gaze, I saw a lady wearing a praying mantis mask glaring at me.
Surprisingly, the lady knew my identity!
I didn’t see through the mask.
“Not only are you disobeying his commands, but you are also pretending to be him? “Do you want to die?”
This noble lady was also a servant of the King of Yeokcheon!
This was the one I had been waiting for.
I opened my mouth to the lady.
For your information, the moment the conversation started, a magical curtain was set up so that no one outside could hear our conversation.
“Isn’t it the same for you who went against the will of the King of Yeokcheon?”
“what?”
“Isn’t it the will of the King of Yeokcheon that you came here?”
I raised the corner of my mouth and said the lady’s name.
“Isn’t that so? “Duchess Bess, the witch of cruelty?”
“!!”
Yes.
Surprisingly, the lady’s identity was Duchess Bess, the hostess of a famous magic family.
‘Originally, Duchess Bess has a close relationship with the King of Yeokcheon.’
It’s not just because she’s a named villain.
It was related to the ‘true identity’ of the King of Yeokcheon.
The two had a closer relationship than anyone else.
“What are you saying?”
“Didn’t you also try to use the King of Yeokcheon’s money to buy a live brain to feed Joanna? Wouldn’t that be something the King of Yeokcheon would have allowed?”
It was an elixir that was said to increase intelligence.
Although it had severe side effects, it was very popular among wizards due to its clear effectiveness.
However, she failed to save Hwalnoedan.
“The winning bid was only 500,000 pena, but you came to the dark auction without even bringing 500,000 pena. Isn’t it too petty? Or, is the King of Yeokcheon a petty person? Even though it has something to do with you, they won’t even allow 500,000 pena.”
“You… !”
“That’s it. I will take care of obtaining the gray sacrificial book requested by the King of Yeokcheon. so you don’t mind However, are you going to return empty-handed like this?”
Duchess Bess fell silent.
“I’ll help you save the theater company.”
“!!”
It was the ultimate elixir that could not even be compared to Hwalnoedan.
An elixir that improves not only intelligence but also overall magical talent.
The winning bid was 3.5 million pena.
“By what means? “The person who won the bid for the play list is ‘The Knight of the Dead.’”
Lv. He was a 6 necromancer.
Duchess Bess’s status was high, but the problem was that the other party belonged to a religious order.
I couldn’t touch it.
“If it were me, it would be possible. “But please cooperate with me for just one thing.”
“Cooperation?”
“Yeah, it’s not that difficult or difficult.”
Duchess Bess huffed and snorted, but could not hide her interest.
“Simple. “You will be my partner during the banquet and serve me as your host.”
“what? “Do you want to die?!”
“It is a secret that everyone secretly knows that you have a deep relationship with the King of Yeokcheon. “If you serve me like a master, everyone will be convinced that I am the true king of Yeokcheon.”
Duchess Bess gritted her teeth.
‘I don’t want to go out with you either? ‘I’d rather dance s*xy tango with bald man Hans.’
The flower in both hands is a murderer and a cruel witch.
It was truly a banquet from hell, but it was inevitable for the goal.
