But in order for young people not to make mistakes now, they should have practiced flaying earlier. I hope that after such vivid experiences, they will develop a strong aversion to these activities. I have no problem with sacrifices, when they are necessary, and as they are, the finished product goes to the altar, whose death will make the world cleaner. However, in order to do this, one needs proper upbringing and a mentally stable mentor who sees it as a necessary part of their magical activity or profession. Those who enjoy inflicting pain and suffering arouse acute disgust in me. There is no place for them among reasonable people.So, when Alfonso told the two lords that he didn't want to help them specifically, they called him foolish, but they were sorry for their offspring. They didn't even guess what horrors they would be signing their youth to. And I hope that experience will save them from reckless actions in the future. Abraxas and Nathan didn't think to bargain with Bran when he offered them his help to protect them from the slave mark. After all, Archmages aren't fooled easily, especially by someone with such a reputation for being quarrelsome and vengeful, which my brother had. Even if they received guarantees of immunity, no one could stop Alfonso from visiting their manor and expressing his displeasure with their actions, after which he could take away whatever he wanted. The dead didn't need material benefits anyway.So now I have the key to the very hell described in the Bible in my hands.But in any case, the problem with Goetia will have to be solved later. Otherwise, it is not a good idea when such a threat looms over my world. And I am absolutely sure that when the very moment comes and my witches will have to go into this dark plane, there will be a big celebration with fireworks and confetti in their streets, in the Citadel. The poor wizards got bored without a challenge and a visible threat in front of them. So, there will be an enormous rush for the chance to fight seventy-two archdemons of Goetia because I have two and a half thousand wizards, and there are only seventy- two strong opponents in Goetia. And for those lucky ones who have the honor of facing them personally, it will be great happiness. After all, every wizard greatly misses a serious battle. Damn adrenaline addicts! But I also have tens of thousands of more masters in my order, so what should I do with them?I must admit that I have already thought more than once about where to look for rivals eager for interesting battles. Heh... I think the inhabitants of Goetia will be in for a shock when they realize that the barrier erected by Solomon has fallen. Instead of horror and panic on the other side, a crowd of happy witchers will rush toward them.Yeah..... But that will happen only after I deal with the threat of the demon we are looking for, which is currently scheming with Gaunt. Marvolo is now the only person that the demon has not killed and that we know about, and only this saves him from the Vatican. Gaunt believed in himself so much that he kidnapped simpletons from Europe. And it took me some time to stop Venenzo from capturing and destroying him. For now, the only thing that will save Gaunt is that he has been limited to the lowest levels of society, which no one will even look for in normal circumstances. What does Gaunt need simpletons for? Suddenly, he discovered a talent for death magic, but it is because he lost his common sense and did not bother to search for the root cause of such an extraordinary gift in Europe, being exclusive and chosen. But Gaunt blamed everything on himself for his talent, you idiot!To have at hand many ways to diagnose your essence and the changes that are happening to it, and ignore them in order to take up experiments and master new discovered facets of your magical power is just unenlightened stupidity. So Gaunt has spent the last four years at his estate studying death magic, its combat aspect and golem building. God forbid, his childhood in an orphanage and lack of toys have done their job, because now he cannot get enough of his success in necroplasty and raising the dead. He already has about two thousand infernals and about three hundred flesh golems under his command.
