Chapter 3: The Survivors (3)

The contract is concluded, and Shinji leaves Kenneth's room with a parchment scroll with "self-coercive testimony" written on it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The testimony was taken effect when both parties signed their names, and the parchment as a carrier lost its value at the same time. However, Shinji did not intend to discard or destroy it, he wanted to store it in the family's secret vault as a memorial to his first contribution to the Makiri family.

In the corridor outside the room, a man with the same hair color and eyes as Shinji leaned against the railing with a lazy expression.

He is the father of Shinji Makiri.,The day before yesterday, he just finished a business trip.,Maki Tsuru who returned from abroad.。 The wisest man in the family in a sense was not shocked after knowing everything, nor did he complain too much about his family, just casually complained a few words, accepted the reality, and calmly devoted himself to the follow-up work.

The first job is to help Shinji draw up a contract, and the covenant is also a type of contract, and no one in the entire Maki family knows better how to make a strict contract than Tsuruya, a businessman who is crawling around in the mall.

In view of the fact that once the "self-imposed testimony" is signed, there is no turning back, Shinji specially waited until Tsuruya returned, and the two discussed it several times before finalizing it.

There were two copies of the testimony, one from the contract he had just signed with Kenneth and the other with Webb—a one-word difference that showed Shinji's attitude towards the two men, although there was no difference in the format of the testimony.

"How's it going?" Tsuru yawned and asked his son, who had not slept all night trying to revise his testimony.

"It's all done, hard work father. Shinji gestured "OK" to his father.

"It's not hard work, it's all for this family, there's no reason for you to contribute, I'm watching from the side- by the way, what are you going to do with that woman?"

The "woman" in Tsuruya's mouth refers to Kenneth's fiancée, Sora, who, ever since the loss of Lancer, has locked herself in her room and spent her days in a state of confusion like a doll.

Shinji glanced at the room adjacent to Kenneth and let out a sigh: "It's just an inconsequential vase, just leave it as it is, Kenneth doesn't take the initiative to ask, let's not be nosy." ”

In Shinji's eyes, Sola is just a vase, incapable, and has a terrible personality, except for being quite beautiful, almost useless, and I don't know how Kenneth likes such a woman, and she is not an upstart who has never seen a beautiful woman. Kenneth is of noble birth, young and promising, as long as he has that meaning, there are a lot of women waiting for him to choose, and he will take a fancy to Sora, and he can only say that love makes people blind.

Tsuru also muttered, "The vase doesn't use magic. ”

"Even if you can use magic, it won't affect us who have eaten it, so it's still a vase. Shinji pursed his lips disdainfully.

"Speaking of that, how do I feel that my body has not changed at all, and the legendary golden apple that makes the goddess crazy has this effect?"

As soon as Tsuru finished speaking, he received a big white eye from Shinji.

"Otherwise, after eating, it becomes infinitely powerful and invulnerable?"

"Well, it doesn't need to be exaggerated, but there should be a little bit of a change. ”

"It's already there, don't you see?"

"Where, where?" Tsuru also touched his head and spun around, "I really don't see it." ”

Shinji dragged his father to the bathroom and pointed to his face in the mirror, "See, there used to be a mole here, but now it's gone, there used to be a scar here, and now it's gone, and there is white hair here—"

"Wait, wait, this is the change you are talking about? This is the effect of the golden apple?"

"yes. Shinji nodded solemnly, "Father, think about it, what is the most famous legend of the golden apple?"

"Women, including goddesses, want it. ”

"Yes, what do women want most? Strength? Obviously not, they value their looks and body more than strength, and you should know very well that women love beauty. That's why they all want to get the golden apple, not only because it is the most beautiful symbol, but also because it makes them more beautiful. ”

"Could it be that the real effect of the golden apple is—"

"Scars with scars, acne with acne, skin is more shiny, hair will be smoother, and in layman's terms, it is beauty and beauty. ”

Although he had vaguely guessed the answer, Shinji's words still made Tsuru cry and laugh for a while.

"Well, this is indeed a fetish that women can't resist...... But that's really all there is to it?"

"Not really. After all, the wedding gift given by Gaia, the goddess of the earth, to Zeus and Hera could not have only this effect. The real effect of Golden Apple is to optimize yourself, beauty and beauty are the first steps to make up for the defects of the body, and then adjust your body from the inside out to improve all aspects of quality, which is expected to take two to three weeks. But don't think about Superman, no matter how much optimization is based on the individual's physical foundation, father, your improvement is at most similar to the increase in magic power from twice that of ordinary people to the level of resisting one or two bars of magic. ”

"That's not bad, health is more important than anything else. ”

Hearing Shinji say this, the last bit of regret in Tsuruya's heart disappeared.

The golden apple, a famous treasure in Greek mythology, once sparked a dispute between Hera, the goddess of war and wisdom, Athena, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and indirectly led to the Trojan War for ten years. It was with it that Gilgamesh exchanged the Golden Babylon from Skaha.

In fact, this artifact meant nothing to Gilgamesh and Skaha, who were in the Servant's Body, and if Skaha were alone, she would not have agreed to hand over the locomotive she loved. But she didn't need it, the four disciples needed it, and for the sake of the development of the four disciples, Skaha finally agreed to the deal.

It is worth mentioning that the treasures taken out of the "King's Treasure" are the same as the treasures, they are the crystallization of "soul materialization", and if there is no supply of magic power, they will eventually turn into Lingzi and disappear.

In order to prevent this from happening, Skahat made a chest of rune to store the "Golden Apple", and also concocted a potion to be taken with the "Golden Apple" according to the physical characteristics of each disciple.

The four disciples, Shinji, Sakura, Yanye, and Tsuru also have their own shortcomings.

These shortcomings will restrict their future development, and the "Golden Apple" optimizes its own characteristics and the effect of potion directional enhancement can effectively make up for the shortcomings, allowing them to go further on their respective paths.

I hope that the disciples can have a bright future, and I hope that the disciples can break out of their own sky.

This is what Skaha expects from his disciples, and it is also what every qualified teacher expects from his students.
