Chapter 3061: Chapter 74: The Last Devil

"——Good evening, Lord Sin Bearer."

Beneath the bat mask, Patrick’s face showed no sign of panic or fear, but rather excitement—this was the kind of secret society with a Big Wizard overseeing it that he wanted to join!

This is the atmosphere of an ancient wizard organization with a heritage of hundreds of years!

Zheng Qing sat on the high obsidian chair, watching as Lucifer respectfully entered through the door and saluted, a faint red glint flashing in his eyes as he easily saw through the tense yet excited face beneath the bat mask.

With little need for technique, just following his aura and a simple deduction, Zheng Qing captured the scene when Matthew Karen and Patrick exchanged words in the already condensed timeline. Continuing back through time, he even saw Sir Friedman chatting idly with Matthew in the lounge.

They really are a group of bats.

The young legend murmured in his heart, a subtle curl at the corner of his mouth—he’d once speculated whether there were any familiar faces among the Seven Sins, and now it seemed as he suspected.

A thought shifted, and he felt a bit sentimental.

Sir Friedman, whom he had to look up to when he first started college, now had become a part of the timeline that could easily be browsed and erased at his whim.

The changing of things and people is just like this.

Perhaps Zheng Qing had been silent too long, as the still saluting ’Lucifer’ became a bit stiff. Behind the long table, the other three devils held their breath, cautiously observing the scene with the corners of their eyes, unclear on what displeasure the lord on the high seat had with Lucifer.

Zheng Qing came back to his senses.

He let out a light chuckle.

"——Apologies, I got a bit distracted just now... have a seat."

With a wave of his hand, Patrick uncontrollably sat in a high-backed chair, and a glass of clear liquid brimming with intense magic power appeared before him.

The young vampire from a noble family immediately recognized it as a high-purity apple brew, which could smooth the veins and replenish magic power—a very precious magic potion for low-level wizards.

"——Thank you for your generosity!"

Patrick quickly got up, saluting respectfully again.

Zheng Qing waved his hand, indicating that it was no bother, while his gaze swept over the other three devils. He had already checked the background of the three before Patrick entered.

Under the wolf head mask representing Wrath was a half-blood werewolf named ’Ji’ from Starry Sky Academy—in the wizard world, creatures like half-blood vampires or half-blood werewolves were not entitled to have surnames, unless their other half came from a noble wizard family.

This half-blood werewolf named ’Ji’ had received the Legacy Ring of the Seven Sins from another half-blood werewolf, Erwin Hoffman, two years ago when he had just enrolled, and Hoffman was about to graduate.

Similarly, ’Leviathan’ under the cat face mask is a half-blood named ’Duo’ from Jiuyou Academy, guided by the former Heart Queen of Hearts Q hunting team leader, Joan. Zheng Qing vividly recalled her heroic stance as she wielded a longsword during the school hunting tournament he first attended.

As for the last devil present, wearing a fox mask and representing Greed, ’Mammon’ is from his Edge Academy, a Northern District Wizard named ’Shen Feng’, now in the third year and among the first batch of enrollments at Edge Academy. Unlike the others, Shen Feng obtained the ring by passing the ’back-to-back’ test of the previous Mammon, severing the possibility of tracing the former Mammon’s identity through aura.

Of course, if Zheng Qing wanted to spend more effort and time meticulously sorting the timeline, finding out the identity of the former Mammon would not be difficult. But there was no point in doing so.

After Lucifer.

Came two more devils.

Wearing a goat mask, Asmodeus was a skinny boy named Du Smith, from Atlas Academy, a Mormon who inherited his ring from another Mormon predecessor at the school. Zheng Qing remembered that Mormonism allowed polygamy, which in a way, matched well with the Lust representing Asmodeus.

Wearing a pig face mask, Beelzebub was a small, slender witch named Shantian Guang from Jiuyou Academy, without any special bloodline or legacy. She obtained the ring the same way as Mammon, by passing the previous Beelzebub’s test.

Zheng Qing discovered an intriguing phenomenon.

Rings like ’Leviathan’, ’Samael’, or ’Lucifer’, when falling into the hands of noble wizards, they would always find ways to pass them on to their own kind—in a way that doesn’t violate the Seven Sins rules but is exceptionally cunning.

Conversely, rings in the hands of ordinary wizards would adhere strictly to the selection rules of the Seven Sins, preventing any ’private transfers’.

This is probably what makes a clan a clan, and why ordinary wizards remain ordinary wizards.

"——Why isn’t Belfinger here yet?"

Zheng Qing glanced at the last empty black iron high-backed chair, half-joking, "Is it always this laid-back? It truly fits with its mask."

The Seven Sins represented by Belfinger is Sloth.

Around the molten lava long table, the other six devils chuckled in agreement and then fell silent again, maintaining a respectful demeanor, which was quite boring.

Just when Zheng Qing regretted his caprice in joining this child’s play tonight.

The bronze small door opened once more.

Wearing a bird face mask, Belfinger stumbled in, while running repeatedly apologizing: "——Sorry everyone! The homework from the teacher was a bit much, so I didn’t finish it and came late!"

I don’t buy it!

Zheng Qing looked bewildered at the familiar lying face behind the mask and couldn’t help but blink, drawing more magic power from the ’Taiyi’ ring into his eyes for repeated scrutiny.

It was Su Ya.

The little Fox Maid from Greenhill Mansion.

Without a doubt, it was her!

She spends all day at Greenhill Mansion cleaning floors, where does she get teachers assigning homework? Where did she get the Seven Sins ring? Even if she did join the Seven Sins, why was she wearing a bird head mask instead of a fox mask?

Zheng Qing instinctively glanced at Mammon, his fingers hidden in his sleeve flying rapidly in calculation.

He wouldn’t know until he calculated, and once he did, he was shocked to stand up suddenly from the obsidian high seat, startling all the other devils to stand up too, as an air of bewilderment filled the room.

This time, Zheng Qing did not care about the reactions of these young devils but frowned, carefully observing frame by frame the scenes he pulled from the timeline.
