on the sofa, Rias stands up and talks while looking at us.
“Now, everyone, there is only one reason why I called all of you here today. –From today, we will be entering the time where we will start the work that we have been talking about, the pact with the ‘magicians’.”
–The pact with a Devil.
I swallowed my saliva and then remembered. The relationship between Devils and magicians are old and deep.
It’s a totally different thing to the one where a human makes a wish to a Devil by making a pact.
People that are magicians are basically those that polish their research on magic for their entire lives.
There is magic such as black magic, white magic, summoning magic, spirit magic, rune symbols, casting from different locations, and many others. They choose the theme of their magic among them, and put everything they have in there for the rest of their lives.
Each person has different ways of attaining it and mastering it.
Now, the relation of such magicians and Devils is—
Rias then says.
“There are three main reasons why a magician makes a pact with a Devil. One is to use them as their bodyguard. When the time comes, having a powerful Devil behind their back will allow them to talk with opponents if they are caught up in a quarrel.”
“They sound like yakuza.”
When I say that, Rias answers me by saying “I agree” while smiling.
Rias then put two fingers up.
“Secondly, they make a pact because they want to attain techniques and knowledge of Devils. To make it clear, the technique standards of the Underworld. These things will play a big role when magicians do their research.”
If that’s the reason, they can just go to the Underworld personally to get the things they want, or they can also get it through different routes.
But, it seems like they have high risks. For the former one, it’s risky because there are very limited ways to go to the Underworld. Those like me can go to the Underworld easily, but that’s because I’m a servant of the “High-class Devil Gremory”. Going to the Underworld is not an easy journey for magicians, who aren’t Devils.
