Act 275. compromise
"As for you, Reiner. Ian Gray, you were wise not to make a move on me. ”
Agnes glanced at the Hohenheim Gold Cup Ring between Reiner's fingers and said coldly.
She is now in great contrast with before, if the original Agnes showed like an unruly big sister next door, then now she is more like a ruthless witch.
Reiner didn't know which one was the real her, but now that he thought about it, Reiner thought that Agnes didn't become like this because she saw everything Baptiste did, but that she had a certain plan in the first place, but she just happened to meet Baptiste to show her prototype.
"I've been watching you all the way, and indeed, you're a pretty good fit to become a mage, and I think we might have something in common."
That being said, Agnes remained on her guard.
"Aren't you afraid of being hunted by the Magic Society?"
Reiner asked, he already had some plans in his head, but there were a few things he needed to figure out just to be on the safe side.
"I've heard that the Magic Association's wanted warrants run through all half-planes, and as long as their whereabouts are revealed, within half a day, a battle mage will come to the door."
It is absolutely impossible for Agnes to hide what she did today, she will eventually be exposed, and at that time, even if she has five rings, or even six rings, she will not be able to escape the sanctions of the Magic Association.
"If the soul transfer spell is successful, then what we are doing is not a crime, but a pioneering act, and even if it fails, I will naturally have a way to get out of it."
Agnes didn't answer much, it was clear that there was some secrets involved, and she wasn't stupid enough to actually explain everything to Reiner.
"Reiner. Ian Gray, as you've seen before, are you going to be imprisoned like this one, or are you going to help me make history. ”
She held out her hand to Reiner, as if trying to woo him.
The youngest Hohenheim Gold Cup winner in history, the proposer of the periodic law, and the discoverer of the bloodline factor and genetic theory, if such an existence becomes her own help, then Agnes is confident that she will be able to verify Baptiste's soul transfer spell in three days.
"Can I think about it?"
Reiner shrugged, then explained before Agnes changed face.
"Actually, I do have some interest in soul transfers, but I don't dare to explore them because of the reverence for the Magical Society and the law, and I can't give you the answer right now, it's something that needs to be considered."
The main reason why he dared to say this was because he saw Agnes's concerns.
She doesn't kill people at will.
Edgar and Baptiste have left traces in the Magic Association because they are already at the intermediate level, and once they die, the Magic Association can know about it as soon as possible.
And Reiner, as a magical genius, anyone will regret it, and Agnes's invitation to Reiner is a signal, at least it can be seen that Agnes currently has no accurate idea of improving Baptiste's spells, and she wants Reiner to help her.
Then Agnes naturally wouldn't hurt Reiner at will.
It's a gamble, and it's a bet.
After all, if Agnes is a crazy person at heart, it is possible to kill people at will when they see that they are not happy, and at that point, Reiner may need to use some of his hole cards.
In fact, Reiner's words are also half-truths, and he certainly won't conduct human experiments, which violates his principles and awkwards his position in this world, and Reiner doesn't want to be the youngest all-dimensional wanted criminal in history.
Klenner's curiosity about the soul transfer spell is genuine, after all, he himself has traveled through time, and in a sense, it is also a soul transfer, and it is also good for him to figure out this mystery.
"Yes, I allow you to think about it for a day, you are not like me, you can give up everything."
Agnes did not refuse Reiner's request, and motioned for Reiner to stand by Baptiste's side.
"However, my time is also precious, and I will gather the rest of this institute together, and the magical experiments on soul transfer will begin with these people."
Her words made Baptiste's eyes widen.
"No, the children are innocent......"
It was clear that Agnes was going to experiment with terminally ill children on humans.
"If the experiment is successful, these children can find another healthy body and avoid the fate of death."
Agnes' words silenced Baptiste.
Reiner could see that Baptiste was hesitating, and right now, his lifelong pursuit was in front of him, within reach, and anyone would waver, this was not Baptiste's weakness alone.
"Of course, if you don't help me, I'll do it myself, but the success rate may not be so high, maybe a few more people will die."
Agnes added, causing Baptiste, who had lost his ability to resist, to shudder.
"No, you can't ......"
He said as if pleading, and was silent for a long time before finally speaking.
"I'll tell you all the details of the soul transfer spell, I just hope you don't hurt these children......"
Seeing that Baptiste finally gave up resistance, Agnes smiled slightly.
"Welcome to join us."
We?
Reiner noticed the strangeness in Agnes's words, but he didn't show anything and seemed to be struggling with his choice.
After sealing Edgar with a few more magic items and locking him in the room, Agnes asked Baptiste to use the Institute's internal communications to urgently summon everyone to the dining room.
In the cafeteria, people were confused, and many of the children were ready to go to bed, but they were woken up yawning and not knowing what was happening.
Baptiste's students looked at each other, not knowing what their teacher was trying to do.
Edgar's three students didn't react, chatting about inconsequential topics.
Darcy was silent, as if sensing something.
Jane kept her head down and bit her lower lip.
Arimia was still wearing a dress and robe, and she sat alone in a corner, gently pinching what Reiner had just handed her.
A sense of unease haunted her until, she saw Baptiste enter, with Agnes and Reiner behind him, but Edgar nowhere to be seen.
Reiner was discreetly confiscated of the storage bag and the Hohenheim Gold Cup, as well as the magic items on his body, and Agnes winked, and Reiner returned to the crowd and sat down beside Elimia.
Just when the people were confused and talking, Agnes spoke.
"Guys, I would like to invite you to participate in an experiment, one that could change the history of magic."
