Chapter 4: The Turmoil at the Coming-of-Age Ceremony (I)
Stomp ......
The sound of continuous footsteps sounded on the quiet country road at night, and the original noisy insect chirping on both sides of the road suddenly disappeared, and a group of people slowly walked towards the brightly lit manor at the end of the road, Ye Chen looked at the scenery on both sides of the road boredly, and at this time he was being escorted to the manor where Princess Louise held a coming-of-age ceremony.

In fact, it was not necessarily an escort, it was more like an escort, because Ye Chen was not wearing any torture equipment, and the soldiers around him did not look at him closely, but looked around with a straight face, as if he was afraid that something would suddenly jump out on both sides of the road.
"Hey, can you not keep a straight face, let's talk, aren't you tired?" Ye Chen really couldn't stand the silence, and couldn't help but talk to the soldiers around him.
It's a pity that the soldiers around him are still doing what they should do, only the soldier in the lead glanced back at Ye Chen, but just like that, he turned his head again and continued to walk forward, seeing that the conversation was unsuccessful, Ye Chen had no choice but to pout helplessly and walk towards the manor silently.
As he approached the manor, the noise in the manor became clearer and clearer, Ye Chen paused and looked at the manor in front of him, listened to the soft music and noisy voices coming from the manor, and a trace of an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, shaking his head and continuing to walk towards the door of the manor.
"Stop, who's who?" A soldier standing at the doorway clutched his weapon and shouted.
"On the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, we will escort the sinner Ye Chen here, and the next will be handed over to you!" The soldier in the lead raised his hand to signal the others to stop, then replied loudly.
"Oh? Bring it on, and the others can go! ā
The soldier in the lead nodded, pulled the rope that bound Ye Chen's hands, and slowly walked into the manor behind one of the guards.
The nobles who were standing near the gate of the manor and talking casually saw Ye Chen's appearance, and immediately stopped the topic they were still communicating, and turned their eyes to Ye Chen, who had a calm face, and kept looking Ye Chen up and down.
After looking at Ye Chen, the nobles immediately became interested in Ye Chen's identity, after all, Ye Chen's appearance seemed to be a prisoner, but it was different from the miserable appearance of the prisoner in their impression, and they all guessed Ye Chen's identity with the people they knew well.
"Your Majesty, sinner Ye Chen brings!" The guards who were walking in front of them to lead the way suddenly shouted, and the onlookers of the nobles immediately showed a look of sudden realization.
"It turns out that he was the one who made a big fuss in the Great Sanctuary that day, I thought he should be a strong man."
"yes, yes, it looks so thin, no wonder I was caught by Sean."
"But I heard that before Sean made a move, the soldiers in the Great Sanctuary couldn't take him down."
"Cut, it must be blown, just like him, I can do it."
The male aristocrats questioned the authenticity of Ye Chen's havoc in the Great Holy Hall, and some even said that he could fight 10 Yunyun like Ye Chen, while the female aristocrats cared more about Ye Chen's appearance.
"It turns out that he is the one who made a big fuss in the Great Holy Temple, I have to say that he looks pretty good, compared, more ......"
"It's more suitable for lovers, isn't it? I think so, too. ā
"Heartbeat, right? However, I heard that His Majesty was going to reward him to Princess Louise as a slave, so Princess Louise was very happy and envious. ā
"Since it's a slave, we can exchange it with Princess Louise, and when the banquet is over, I'll go to Princess Louise to exchange it immediately."
"Ah, it's so cunning, I'm going too!"
Ye Chen smiled slightly, didn't care about the nobles' comments about him, what he really cared about at this time was the beautiful girl standing in the center of the banquet like Emperor Frank.
The girl has shoulder-length pink hair, and even in the dim candlelight, she can be seen to have fair skin, and she is dressed in a gorgeous white princess dress, and her every move is like a lady's textbook standard norm.
The girl has a figure that can be regarded as a golden ratio, tall height, slender long legs, and her appearance is not lost to any popular actress on the blue star, but it is ......
"It's just a pity that it's a poor breast, it's really blind to the figure of this royal sister." Ye Chen sighed secretly.
Around her, countless young nobles watched her every move, and her smile was like a magic thread, which caused these young nobles to unconsciously show different expressions or marvel; or admiration; Or admire, until Ye Chen's arrival.
In the crowd not far from Emperor Frank and the girl, Marquis Valentine was shaking the wine glass in his hand, squinting his eyes and quietly watching Ye Chen walk in front of Emperor Frank under the leadership of the soldiers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy that you can come to my daughter Princess Louise's coming-of-age banquet, I didn't expect that the little girl who hugged my leg and called 'Father' back then has now become a beautiful big girl who can touch the hearts of countless young people, hahaha!" Emperor Frank clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then laughed loudly.
"Father, you're too bad!" The girl standing next to Emperor Frank, Princess Louise, twisted in shame around Emperor Frank's waist.
"Okay, okay, my father won't say anything. So in order to celebrate my daughter's coming-of-age, I, as a father, naturally have to prepare a gift, and this sinner Ye Chen is my gift to Louise, as her first retinue of her own! ā
As soon as Emperor Frank's words landed, someone immediately presented a master-servant contract to Ye Chen, and at the same time, Ye Chen's hands that had been tightly bound were also untied.
Ye Chen picked up the contract and glanced at the contents, raised his head and smiled at Emperor Frank, took the quill handed to him by others, and prepared to sign his name.
"Slow! This contract seems to me to be just an ordinary master-servant contract, right? Your Majesty, did you take the wrong contract? You have to know what Ye Chen has done and what his identity is, I'm afraid this contract is not suitable, right? Valentine suddenly shouted, slowly walked out of the crowd, and looked at Emperor Frank suspiciously.
Emperor Frank frowned slightly, and asked with a smile, "Oh? According to the Marquis of Valentine, what contract should I take? ā
"Ye Chen's behavior of making trouble in the Great Sanctuary almost caused the Elven Kingdom to break with our country, and it also affected the friendship between the Fetos Temple and our country, I think it is cheaper to use the magic master and servant contract, and a wicked person like him should directly use the magic slave contract, and it must be a magic slave contract signed under the witness of the god Feitos!"
As soon as the Marquis of Valentine's words were finished, there was an uproar, and the nobles exclaimed, and even Emperor Frank no longer hid the anger in his heart, and looked directly at the Marquis of Valentine.
"This contract will bind the life and death of the contractor and the contractor, the master dies and slaves die, and the slave dies to the master's life, Marquis Valentine is so ruthless!"
"What a ruthless, don't be stupid, this is obviously to let Louise let the little white face be cannon fodder when His Royal Highness has an accident, Valentine is thinking about Her Royal Highness the princess"
"But what I want most is that the contracted person must not violate the contractor's orders, once he violates it, he will suffer the pain of ten thousand ants, hehe, I suddenly want to see the painful expression on this little white face."
"Holy! Shame contract, no wonder these people are so excited, but, hehe! Ye Chen's heart did not fluctuate, and he even wanted to laugh.
Under the witness of the god Fetos? Don't be funny, okay, the god Fetos is so idle to come and witness the signing of a small contract? At most, this contract is governed by the rules of this world, and he Ye Chen is not accepted by the rules of this world, and it is a question whether the contract will take effect.
Besides, what if the contract is valid? To put it bluntly, this kind of contract will produce a magic array in the body of the contracted person after the contract takes effect, and the contractor controls the contracted person through this magic array. What kind of magic array has not been touched?
At that time, as long as the engraving of the magic array is changed and the magic array loses its due effect, he Ye Chen will not do whatever he wants, and he will not accept the god of Fetos to pump him!
"Hmph, be angry, be angry, I won't let you, the Emperor of Waste Firewood, get your wish. I think this otherworldly person should already know what this contract is going on, unless he has a brain disease, otherwise no one will be willing to sign this contract, and then I will see how Frank ends up, hahaha! As more and more nobles agreed to the proposal, the Marquis of Valentine couldn't help but laugh wildly in his heart, and a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
"But there is no magic paper that can write contracts now, and there is neither a temple here, nor a clergyman above the bishop level of the temple of Fetos present, so this matter should be postponed." Emperor Frank suppressed his anger and tried to suppress the matter and let it go unchecked.
"Oh, my dear majesty, have you forgotten that Metropolitan Chalman has also been invited to this feast? He's here now, and ......, it just so happens that I bought a piece of magic paper the other day, which I originally wanted to use to make magic scrolls. Since Your Majesty needs it now, I will lend it to Your Majesty!
Your Majesty doesn't need to thank me, it's what I should do to share your Majesty's worries. Valentine reached out and took out a piece of magic paper from his bosom and handed it to the waiter beside him with a smile.
The anger that Emperor Frank had just suppressed in his heart was provoked by the Marquis of Valentine again, coincidentally? What a coincidence, I think you're ready for a long time!
"Thank you Marquis Valentine." Frank took the magic paper from the waiter's hand and handed it to the court magician behind him, and said to the Marquis of Valentine in a cold voice.
After the magic contract was written, Emperor Frank took the contract with a hesitant expression, peeking at Ye Chen's expression from time to time to check the change in Ye Chen's expression, until Ye Chen raised his head and gave him a reassuring smile, he handed the contract in his hand to Metropolitan Charman, who was already standing beside him.
"Although this is not a temple, the cross in my hand was given to me by the Pope himself, and the blessing of the god of Fetos is equivalent to the witness of God. So let's get started, and ask the contractor and the contracted to be separated from me to my left and right. Metropolitan Charman took out a silver cross and said with a serious expression.
Ye Chen silently walked to the right side of Metropolitan Charman, staring closely at the cross in his hand, judging from the aura that belonged to the god Fetos emanating from this cross, Ye Chen felt that this contract was about to take effect, and he was secretly planning for the worst.
"Ask the contractor and the contracted person to write their names on the contract and draw a pledge with blood."
Ye Chen and Princess Louise glanced at each other, picked up a quill and signed their names respectively, and then bit their index fingers to imprint a bright red fingerprint on the place where they signed.
"Herein, under the witness of the god Fetos, the contract is established!" The silver cross in Metropolitan Charman's hand emitted a white light on the magic paper, and the magic paper immediately ignited without fire and turned into ashes and drifted away with the wind, and at the same time, two white lights shot into the bodies of Ye Chen and Princess Louise respectively.
The moment the white light entered Ye Chen's body, a burning pain immediately appeared on the back of Ye Chen's left hand, and an engraved mark representing a slave slowly appeared.
