28. Contracts

Alice's fingers pinched the hem of her skirt hard, and her mood was not calm at this time.

When her mother was still there, she used to tell her stories about demons, and although those horror stories were obviously not bedtime stories that a normal little girl should listen to, who made her mother a very bad person?

Alice has been a very independent and strong child since she was a child, she slept alone in her room after she was three years old, which made the wife who was reluctant to give up her baby daughter a little dissatisfied, other people's babies are so clingy, why is this one so unique?

So, Alice's bedtime story was replaced by a bad wife to a horror story, and then when little Alice was so scared that she didn't dare to sleep alone, the opportunity to increase the relationship between mother and daughter came.

With such a nervous mother, Alice really picked up a ghost.

However, in fact, little Alice has always wanted to tell her mother, her old-fashioned stories are not scary at all, and those old routines that are repeated over and over are slightly scary when I first listen to them, and after listening to them more, Alice is not only not afraid, but even feels a little drowsy.

It's a really effective bedtime story, and it's a great hypnotic effect.

However, in order to take care of her mother's poor parental majesty, little Alice still tried to pretend to be frightened, and then gave the poor daughter a chance to hold her mother to sleep.

Alas, what a troublesome mom who can't be reassured.

At that time, little Alice occasionally thought about her clingy mother, but she didn't hate it.

Originally, Alice thought that her mother's old-fashioned horror stories that were not scary at all would always accompany her to grow up, but her mother, who was so heartless, suddenly collapsed.

Oh, this is probably the most successful horror story of her life, and Alice is really scared.

In order to treat his mother's illness, the family, which was originally in good condition, was in debt.

However, even after selling everything, the mother still broke her promise to Alice to always be with her.

It was also since then that the originally optimistic father became a decadent drunkard who drank all day long, how kind and kind he was, and how vicious and cruel he was when he was drunk.

The young painter who had hoped to enter high society was completely degenerate, and spent his days in the studio drunken and painting paintings that no one could understand.

Accidentally recalling the happiness of the past, the corners of Alice's eyes were a little moist, and the strong little girl wiped her glasses, and quickly regained her strength.

Thanks to her mother's bedtime stories, Alice has a good understanding of demons, especially the deals with demons that come with them in every story, and the fate of those who deal with them.

You shouldn't make a deal with the devil no matter what, and you shouldn't believe a word of the devil's words.

This is what Mom has to emphasize to little Alice every time she finishes telling a story.

However, to know how to be grateful, this is also what her mother emphasized to her, and she must do her best to repay every kindness.

So, what should I do now that I have been helped by a demon gentleman?

My mother didn't teach me this kind of thing.

For a while, little Alice was a little logically confused and very entangled.

The troubled little girl's head was smoking, and her eyes were about to turn into mosquito coils, and when she looked up, she saw a face smiling at her gently.

It was the most beautiful face Alice had ever seen, even her father, who was once normal, did not look so good, and now even if he was so hesitant, there was not the slightest impatience on that face, he just looked at himself so quietly, and there was a sincere god in his eyes.

Mr. Merlin is such a gentle man.

Alice's cute little blushed and lowered her head, thinking to herself.

"Mom, I'm sorry, but this time Alice is going to be a disobedient bad boy."

She looked up, her mind already decided.

..............

Merlin quietly looked at the tangled little girl, patiently waiting for her decision.

In front of him was a piece of parchment burning with a blue flame.

This is the famous Demon Contract.

Previously, Merlin used the power of the Demon King to condense this contract at the last moment of the night, originally just to test the skills, but now it came in handy.

It's still a blank contract, and it's waiting for both parties to draw up their own terms on it.

Although it seems to be just a piece of parchment, but in fact it is the embodiment of the power of the abyss, and the agreement written on it is absolutely not allowed to be violated, even if it is as strong as a god, anyone who violates the contract will fall into the abyss, and will never be able to be reborn.

However, this is for other races, and the demons are a race born of the abyss, and falling into the abyss is almost like going home, in fact, the demons really use the violation of the contract as a quick way home.

Therefore, the so-called demonic contract was just a scam from the beginning, and if anyone believed it, it would have already been tricked.

However, for Merlin, this contract is different, after all, he is just a false demon king, if he dares to really enter the abyss, the son of the abyss mother controls a loving embrace, he will return to zero in minutes and become a real son of the abyss, a real demon king.

Therefore, the demon's signature skill of the demon contract is actually quite a chicken for Merlin, because in his hands, this is really a fair contract that is absolutely inviolable for both parties.

Merlin originally thought that he would not be able to use this skill, after all, if the contract was not signed to break it, then what was the point. He won't even break a contract, so how can he have the face to meet other demons in the future.

However, now, in order to show respect for the little girl, he has come up with this contract that is absolutely fair in the true sense.

He understands the persistence of the little girl in front of him, after all, he was also an orphan with nothing, and he understands how important it is for the last persistence in the heart of a person who has nothing.

That's the last treasure of people like them.

It's a pity that Merlin's treasure was finally lost under the oppression of reality.

Alas, he used to want to be a five-good boy with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, beauty and labor, but as a result, he became a lazy and lazy dead fat house with all kinds of poisons.

No way, who let his self-esteem lose to the bowl of fried rice of the orphanage director's grandmother, it was really fragrant, he swore before going to the orphanage that even if he starved to death, he would not eat the food that came to him, and he must exchange his work for resources The dignity was maintained in less than a day before it failed.

I regret that I shouldn't have eaten that bowl of fried rice back then.

Now, Alice has much more perseverance than he did back then, and such a good boy with a strong backbone can't be raised by him to be the second in the dead fat house.

Well, thinking so, Merlin took the pen handed by the head maid and wrote a line on the contract briskly.

"I will share with you everything I have, and you...."

Hawkers, such a proud child should hone and hone more, I want to see how long you kid can hold up in the sugar-coated cannonball.

Hmph, let me tell you, no one can escape the law of true incense.

Merlin, who is already preparing to stay in the castle for the rest of his life, has begun to cultivate a fat house No. 2 who can stay with him as a housemate.

Merlin looked at the little girl who was still entangled, his eyes were warm and kind, he was looking at the seed of the first flower of the dead house in another world.

Alas, the thought of such a cute little girl about to become an otaku girl is really a sinful demon.
