298. Sister's gift
In the study of the witch's house, Merlin and Lilith stared at each other with big eyes, speechless, and the atmosphere was awkward as if they were on a blind date.
Merlin was still thinking about whether to find a random topic to break this embarrassment, Cynthia on the side beckoned to him and whispered.
"Come, brother, sister will give you a good thing?"
"What's that?"
Merlin looked at Cynthia with some vigilance, this ghost woman has nothing to do, she is either a traitor or a thief.
"It's a good thing to say it's a good thing, sister, I can't lie to you."
Seeing Merlin like this, Cynthia's eyes widened, and she looked a little annoyed.
"Okay."
Merlin leaned over suspiciously, but as soon as he got closer, Cynthia jerked up her hand and stamped a black light on him.
"Damn, you ghost woman really didn't have a good heart."
Merlin was startled, he looked at Cynthia with some annoyance, and then saw the unscrupulous old lady laughing like a fox who had succeeded in his scheme.
"Sister, what bad ideas are you playing again?"
Merlin touched the place that had just been photographed by Cynthia, but he didn't touch anything, and the skin was still as white as ever.
Since it's not on the outside, it's on the inside.
Merlin closed his eyes and sensed his physical condition for a moment, and soon found the black light that had just been punched into his body by Cynthia.
It was a deed.
And from the familiar abyss aura in the contract book, Merlin knew that it was a demonic contract.
Realizing this, Merlin's face changed dramatically, and he grasped the staff of the snake in his hand, thinking of using the magic of the snake to fish out the contract with unknown content.
However, it was too late, and the contract quickly broke into his sea of consciousness, and then snapped and imprinted on his demonic soul, and finally disappeared.
Then, another ethereal abyssal whisper sounded in Merlin's ears, and when he came back to his senses again, he could clearly sense that there was another contract under his name.
is still the same as every abyss contract signed by Merlin in the past, the authority level of this contract has been inexplicably raised to the highest level, and it belongs to the kind that the abyss consciousness personally accepts, even Merlin, the contract owner, cannot be modified or canceled at all.
Seeing that the worst he expected had appeared, Merlin was a little helpless, and he resigned himself to checking the contents of this extra contract.
"Me, Lilith. Asmontis was willing to follow the wizarding tradition of worshiping Cynthia. Grace. Sarina as a teacher. ”
There was only one simple sentence on this contract, and below it was Cynthia's World Tree sigil, and another one with a special sigil.
It was a body resembling a heart, with a small bat-like wings on each side of the heart, and a pink mark of a small tail hanging from the heart.
This must be Lilith's personal imprint.
Although it was very good-looking, Merlin always felt a little weird, he looked at this mark a little familiar, a bit like the tattoo on the lower abdomen of the heroine in some indescribable animation he had seen in his previous life.
However, at this time, the World Tree mark on the contract began to dissipate, and it was replaced by the mark of a sheep's horn demon.
This represents the transfer of the rights of the owner of the contract, which changed from Cynthia to Merlin.
Merlin focused his attention on the contract for a moment, and the image of the contract was signed in front of his eyes.
It was a snowy night, and a half-elf witch stared at a baby lying in the arms of a disemboweled female corpse.
Merlin: "......."
Damn, you lied to even a newborn child, sister, won't your conscience hurt?
He raised his head and looked at the unscrupulous sister beside him with condemning eyes, but the half-elf witch raised her head without fear and looked at him, as if to say, "Conscience? Sister, I don't have that kind of thing."
One of the magical features of a demon contract is that both parties to the contract can roughly know what is written on the contract paper, even if one of them is illiterate.
It's just that this translation function is not very reliable, for example, when it comes to technical terms, folk sayings, or similar polysemous words, the meaning of this translation will be a little ambiguous, just like the traditional apprenticeship customs of wizards mentioned in this contract.
If Merlin certainly knew what this so-called wizarding custom was, it was a deed of sale, just like the one signed between Cinderella and him, and the apprentice could basically be said to be the master's private property.
However, you can't expect a newborn baby to know what the traditional apprenticeship of a wizard is, and the vague translation of the Devil's Pact only conveys the meaning of the normal teacher's and student's direct benevolence.....
This is how the misunderstanding with sinister intentions is hidden, and this is why many demons always like to write contracts in various small languages, as long as the contractor can't understand the content, there is a high probability that they will be pitted very badly.
It can be seen that Cynthia is really very good at contract science, Merlin has no doubt that if Cynthia really burps one day, her soul falls into the abyss and is transformed into a demon, then she will definitely become a demon with excellent business ability.
It's better to say that this ghost woman has a bad stomach, and being an elf really wronged her, the demon is the most suitable race for her.
"In short, brother, Lilith will be your person in the future, you have to take good care of her, she is still a pure child who has not had much contact with boys, brother, you are her first time, so you have to be more patient, boys should be gentle."
Cynthia blinked innocently, she was concerned about her cheap apprentice on the surface, but in fact, she said to Merlin with something in her words.
Merlin: "........"
This is not the car that a child of mine should get into, you sister with a mind full of color, don't come to defile me again.
"Okay, brother, you can go with Lilith to familiarize yourself with the situation of the Witch's House first, and by the way, choose a place in the city that you like as a community base."
Without waiting for Merlin to complain, Cynthia spoke preemptively.
With that, she sat down at her desk, as if she was going to correct the papers for Lilith.
"What are you doing stunned, you two want to have fun."
Seeing that Merlin and Lilith were still stunned, the half-elf witch raised her eyebrows, and then with a wave of her hand, the two of them flew out of the door uncontrollably, and then the door of the study closed automatically.
Damn, this sense of déjà vu, how can it really look more and more like a blind date in the previous life.
Merlin complained helplessly.
Lilith beside him, on the other hand, had been keeping her head down since just now, following him step by step, as if she were his shadow.
