“Despicable.”

Elizabeth’s unfriendly gaze suggested that she had misunderstood him once again.

“I just want you to teach me to learn magic.”

“Can’t you learn from your teacher? Or are you just trying to get close to me using the excuse of learning magic?”

“I mainly want to treat you. It won’t be too late to talk about remuneration after I have successfully treated you.”

“Are you a healing magic sorcerer? If you only know trivial magic, then I advise you not to be delusional. This is a curse from a demon. It can’t be removed easily.”

“I’m confident.”

In truth, Linley Bart’s confidence came from the system.

While opening the various treasure chests, he had once picked up a spell, Expelling Curse.

Curse was a magic that brought bad luck. It was also one of the oldest spells that existed.

There were only two kinds of the oldest magic, and they were all prayers to God.

There were only two outcomes. One was a curse while the other was a blessing.

Those who were blessed by the gods could easily become heroes.

However, if one was cursed by the gods, one would have to live his entire life under misfortune.

A curse was a terrifying spell. Yet, it could also be said to be one of the most basic spells.

However, there were not many people who could master curse magic because curse magic did not rely on the magical elements.

It was a spell that relied solely on one’s mental strength. Hence, those with weak mental strength were eliminated right from the start.

Curse was also an extremely evil magic and was not taught directly in the various academies.

Most curses were sealed in ancient books or some evil parchment.

All in all, curses were not usually seen.

However, there were many ways to attract curses.

Examples include disrespecting the gods or angering the elves of the magical elements.

The most direct way was to make a deal with the demons.

Demons usually bestowed great power upon one, but at the same time, they would take something from one in exchange.

Such evil deals were prohibited in the sorcery world.

However, there was still a steady stream of sorcerers making deals with demons because the powerful evil magic was a strong attraction to every sorcerer who was keen on exploring the mysteries of magic.

On top of that, the demons had many ways to entice sorcerers who were not mentally determined to sign contracts with them…

Once they signed the contract, they would immediately be cursed.

If the contract was not nullified, then the curse was almost impossible to remove.

But Linley Bart was different.

He had a system.

However, it was difficult to convince Elizabeth.

If she used the power of the system directly, she would definitely be suspicious.

“How are you going to help me?”

Elizabeth asked the most crucial question.

“Only you can help yourself.”

Elizabeth gave a look of skepticism.

“Up until now, there have been five charlatans who have said the same thing to me and they are all liars. Are you one as well, Linley Bolt?”

“At least tell me what happened to you.”

This was out of Linley Bart’s own curiosity. He really wanted to know.

After all, she was once his childhood friend.

What had happened to Elizabeth?

She seemed to hesitate.

After a long period of silence.

Elizabeth let out a long sigh.

“If you dare to say this to anyone else, you’re dead.”

She said this very seriously. This was a very explicit threat to Linley Bart.

After that, she started to explain her story.

“I’m a genius, and my life is completely different from a foolish person like you. Geniuses have their own troubles, but I don’t think you’ll ever understand…”

Linley Bart was speechless after hearing what Elizabeth had said. Why must you scold me?

Elizabeth was a genius among geniuses.

Not only was she a genius in magic, but she was also an all-rounder genius.

No matter the difficulty, Elizabeth could learn anything easily. Art, literature, riding, swordplay, magic…

The skills that other people took their entire lives to practice and master could be easily grasped by Elizabeth.

All geniuses would feel ashamed in front of her.

As the princess of an empire, she had the best teacher and the best talent.

No matter what she was doing, she was made to do her best and Elizabeth had the ability to do it.

Just like that, Elizabeth grew up under everyone’s expectant gazes.

She was simply a perfect incarnation. No matter what was put in front of her, she could easily learn it and quickly surpass even her teacher.

However, the mysteries of magic were endless.

Elizabeth could master everything fully except for magic.

Elizabeth was a well-known genius in magic.

However, the ultimate mystery of magic was something that no one had been able to comprehend since ancient times.

Elizabeth was almost at the end of her pursuit of magic.

It was not that her talent had reached its end, but that magic in the mortal world had reached its limit. She had read all the books in the libraries and learned everything there was available for her to learn. She had even developed and uncovered lost magic spells that originally only existed in books.

However, this still did not fully satisfy Elizabeth’s desire to pursue magic.

She kept studying and studying until one day, she had finally found a demon contract in an ancient book.

Devil’s magic.

This was a domain that was less explored.

This was because demons symbolized evil and were considered taboo. Furthermore, it had a very strong power to corrupt people.

Thus, it had been classified as a form of magic forbidden to be touched in the sorcery world.

Elizabeth had already researched all the magic that was made available to her. However, through her research, she had also found out that there were other forms of magic that were more powerful.

This was extremely attractive to a genius like Elizabeth.

How could she allow herself not to learn such magic?

This was the arrogance of a genius. She felt that everything should be under her control.

Demons were merely part of magic to her.

Thus, Elizabeth began to study the magic of demons through the ancient books. Soon after, she found an ancient ritual in the books and managed to summon a demon using it.

However, summoning a demon also came with a price.
