Chapter 57: The Conclusion of the Contract (Part II) (2-in-1 Chapter)
Arashi smiled noncommittally at Akidona's words, neither agreeing nor objecting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After a pause, he asked, "Let's make a long story short, does Parker's sudden disappearance have anything to do with you?"
"No, he just remembered the past. However, there is a record of this happening in the Book of Wisdom. Agidonna said casually.
"There's quite a lot of stuff in your book!" Arashi sneered, "What if I want to change that." ”
"It can't be changed. Akidonna shook her head decisively and said, "You killed Caizuki Pleiades once in the mansion, so you caught Shatila's attention. Because Emilia participated in the trial, Parker, who was carried by her, also entered the corridor of her memory. ”
"And it is inevitable that Shatila will appear in the Sanctuary, because only here will Emilia temporarily lose control of her body. For Shatila, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet you!" Agidonna let out an inexplicable laugh as she said this.
"And for Parker, who remembers his memories, how could he stay with someone who has devoured my existence? ”
"What is the relationship between Emilia and Shatila?" Unable to figure out the logical relationship in the witch's mouth, Arashi simply asked other questions.
"To put it simply, if you understand the relationship between the host and the host, it's fine. Agidonna refilled her teacup with new tea, and tasted it.
"Why is death her fate?"
"For the rest of the conversation, I hope you will listen to me calmly. Agidonna coughed, pondering her words, "Because Emilia is one of the keys to the seal, and if nothing else, she will give her life when she breaks the seal." ”
"What is sealed?"
"The Witch of Jealousy, and the passage back to the original world. ”
"How do you guarantee her life?" Arashi remembered the request the witch had made to him when they first met.
"Of course I can't do it alone. Akidona shook her head, "But with you, there will be no problem with the strength of the two of us." Because you are special, you are not present in the Book of Worlds, and your every move is unknown and unpredictable to it. ”
"Cooperate. "In essence, there is no conflict between the two of us......
"How do you guarantee credibility. Lan didn't refuse, just silently looked into the witch's eyes, "How can I trust you? ”
"But I have no ill will towards you. Agidonna said in surprise, with an unspeakable sense of loss in her tone, and then shook her head and said, "I'll use it as my assurance." ”
After saying this, Akidonna raised her left hand and reached into her left chest in front of Arashi. Yes, her slender fingers went straight in. Then he took out a shining crystal from the position of his heart, and his crystal clear appearance was no different from the one that the red lotus had eaten.
Agidona's body shook briefly from the departure of the crystal, as if it was about to dissipate at any moment. But she didn't care about this, she just silently put the crystal on the table and pushed it in front of Arashi.
"It's my Source Power, as a bargaining chip to make you believe in me. I can keep it with you, but don't let the dog eat it just yet. Because if it were gone, I wouldn't exist. ”
Arashi looked down at the crystal on the table, then at the resolute Akidona, and finally spoke, "What is the content of the cooperation?" ”
Hearing Arashi's words, Akidonna let out a long breath. She felt that dealing with this guy was really more exhausting than taking care of a few stupid sisters, but fortunately, the result was finally gratifying.
"In the outside world, there are two more crystals like this. Akidonna pointed to the crystal on the table, "With the death of my sisters, their bodies have gradually disappeared into nothingness for a long time. The remaining power will return to the form of a crystal on its own. ”
"And what about the rest?" Arashi looked at the crystal on the table, counting the piece that Red Lotus had eaten, and the two pieces in Akidona's mouth, and then comparing the number of witches she had met.
"The magicians of this world will gradually improve their strength as they embark on learning. A lucky few of them will learn powerful magic that can change the landscape of the world. For the magician who comes into contact with this level, the world consciousness will pull it in front of him, let the magician realize the greatness of life, and then suppress the magician's magic meridians. ”
Arashi only raised an eyebrow at Akidona's long nag, and this time he showed his patience in a rare way.
"Emilia is a half-elf ......," Agidona smiled, "When she was seven years old, she had frozen most of the Great Ellirule Forest due to her magical rampage, what kind of power do you think could make an ordinary half-elf girl accomplish something that other magicians may not be able to accomplish in her lifetime." ”
"There's an Origin Crystal hidden in her body, and that's the real reason why she became the one to break the seal. Akidonna, who had finally finished speaking, put down her hands that were folded on her lips.
"Will taking the crystal out of her body endanger her life?" Arashi frowned and said her question.
"No, just become a complete normal person. Akidonna shrugged her shoulders, "It's because I'm dead that I have attached my soul to the crystal so that I can appear in front of you in this way." ”
"Yes. Arashi nodded, "Information about the other two crystals." ”
"Now I know there's only one missing, but I'm not sure for sure. After all, the people who carried it had been in a state of seclusion since forty years ago. Akidonna held out her finger in distress and tapped it on her temple.
"It seems that your book is not omniscient and omnipotent. Arashi pursed her mouth, mocking as usual.
"No way. "After all, the level of the Origin Crystal is the same as the Book of Wisdom. So to some extent to perceive that the other person is going to be quite miserable, just like you. ”
"What's the name of that clan?" Arashi leaned back slightly, pushing the chair off the ground slightly.
"Oni. Agidona's mouth spat out the words, "The superior race of the subhuman race." ”
"It's a common name. Arashi commented.
"That's true for you, but on this continent, they're special. The success rate of this group is 100 percent, which is also an extremely exaggerated figure among subhuman races. The children born from their group possess super-destructive power even when they are young. ”
"Is it because of the influence of the crystal?" Arashi tilted his head.
"Well, when they get the crystal, they seem to enshrine the crystal as a treasure for generations. "But my sister, Pandora, must have attacked that group ten years ago, in order to seize the Origin Crystal. ”
"Taken?"
"No, if she gets that crystal, there will be a record of it in my book, because it's enough to change the continent. As long as it is something that has happened in the past, the Book of Wisdom will definitely record it completely, even if it is the Origin Crystal. Fortunately, it does not appear to be such. So for sure, at the time of the crisis. The people of the Oni Clan used their own methods to hide the crystal. ”
"Got it, I'll take care of it. For some reason, Arashi was reluctant to talk more about Pandora, he always felt that the other party had a familiar smell in him.
But when it comes to Pandora, Arashi remembers a situation that he cares about, and he remembers Shatila's words, 'Four hundred years ago, I should have killed you'. This sentence is full of malice, but it is full of contradictions no matter how you listen to it.
"Hey. Arashi stared at Akidonna in front of her, "We met four hundred years ago, didn't we?"
"Well...... the witch smiled playfully, "why don't you leave it to the future time to answer?
"Cut. Arashi pursed her lips disdainfully at Akidona's tricks.
In response to Arashi's reaction, Akidonna acted as if she didn't see it, and just gracefully picked up the teacup to hydrate her overused and dry throat.
"I heard that you also made a contract with Caiyue Pleiades?
"Can I interpret your behavior as jealousy?" said Akidona, who is good at playing tricks, to make Arashi frown, "Alright, alright, don't be angry. I think you've thought about the unexpected changes that Caizuki Pleiades might cause to our plans, right? ”
Ajidonna stretched out her palm to Arashi, and then clenched it slightly, "As long as you die, you can return to square one." If you don't feel satisfied, you can start again. Such a force, if not monitored. I can't sleep. ”
"And I've put my heart in your hands. As a man, what are you not satisfied with? To her collaborators, the witch said rather presumptuous words.
In this regard, Lan just silently tugged at the corners of his mouth. Anyway, if you play lip service, you will definitely not be able to win against this woman. I simply picked up the crystal on the table and threw it upwards in my hand.
"So I will give him free help and personal advice, and in return, I will let him act according to our will and follow the path we have chosen for him. Witnessing Arashi's childish behavior, Ajidonna just rolled her eyes and said to herself.
"How are you going to help him?"
"With words, with brains. Agidonna poked her head proudly and boasted to the man opposite, "The knife can only kill, but the mind can control the other party." But I need you to do me a favor when necessary! I think you're also disgusted by his constant reincarnation, which has caused you trouble in your life. ”
"Yes, no problem. Arashi nodded neatly at Akidona's request. The reason why he will believe and agree with the other party is because Honglian said something similar at the beginning, but at that time he refused. Life is really wonderful, going around and going back to the original point.
"You see, the contract is made. Agidonna smiled and picked up her teacup, "Why don't you celebrate? ”
"I don't like to eat apples. Lan shook her head flatly, holding the crystal's left hand and stroking the slightly shiny crystal. Although I don't know how much the witch's sincerity can be trusted, but with this crystal in her hand, how much should she ......
"Don't touch ......," Agidona whispered, bowing her head.
"Huh?!" Arashi blinked, a little unintelligible.
"I'm telling you it's okay, don't touch it!" Jackdonna looked up sharply, and Agidonna showed a pretty face that was inexplicably red.
"What's wrong?" Arashi, who looked innocent, looked at the witch, a little unsure of the other party's reaction.
"That crystal is connected to my soul. Tilting her head sideways, her eyes unwillingly squinting towards the void ground, Agidonna said in a rare silence, "I have the same feelings as it. ”
Looking at the other party's reaction, a cold sweat appeared on Lan's forehead, who understood the meaning, and quickly grabbed the crystal and stuffed it into his arms, stood up from his position, looked at Ai Ji Dona and said, "How should I contact in the future?"
"By the crystal. Agidona's face was extremely unnatural, "No matter how far away I am, my connection to it will not be broken, you just need to keep it close to you...... That's it. ”
"......" Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Arashi nodded a little embarrassedly, and then simply said, "Let's go." ”
To Arashi's words, Ajidonna surprisingly didn't react at all, just casually raised her hand and waved it twice. Then he twisted his legs and finally said, "Find a box...... Keep it safe...... It. ”
Arashi raised her eyebrows at the witch's request, not knowing if she had listened to it. He walked all the way to the door, and when he pushed it open, he said to Agidona, "Help me say hello to Parker." ”
The void space returned to calm after Arashi's departure. Sitting alone at the tea table, the witch who was desperately drinking tea for some reason, the flush on her face that had finally faded became more and more intense. This strange scene made the people who appeared later very puzzled.
"Mother, he really found out about my existence...... Mother, are you alright!!" The words of concern from behind her somewhat caught the attention of Agidona.
"It's okay, Parker, go ahead and carry out the plan, don't worry about me!" Akidona, who kept her back to the comer, raised her hand and waved weakly.
"Yes!"
As the figure disappeared again, Agidona, who was sitting alone in the void, supported her chin on the tea table with her hands, and looked at the small door that had closed in the distance.
"That bastard, can't you put 'me' in a better position?" The flush that had just faded from her face slowly resurfaced, and Agidonna suddenly measured her head as if she had heard something, "Like, someone is calling me!"
……
……
"Hey, it's not going to work. Natsuki shook the white fox in front of her desperately, this creature was only the size of a palm, it looked quite cute and cute, and the clean white fur seemed to meet all the needs of hair control.
"When I said I was in trouble, I just got in touch with you! That witch wouldn't lie to me......" The babbling continued, and Natsuki looked anxiously at the contract certificate she had obtained from Agidona, and wondered if she had been tricked by the black-bellied woman.
"You're very long-winded. The sleeping white fox finally opened his eyes under his incessant calling, and his tone was very impatient and harsh, "It is a felony to disturb a woman's main date. You'd better have enough reason to wake me up, stupid human!" (To be continued.) )
