"Young man, are you willing to sign a contract with our generation?"

Renault looked back at Izquil, and the old man nodded at him, his eyes gentle.

"I see." Renault took a deep breath, held the key tightly in his palm, and said in a serious tone that he had never felt before:

"As evidenced by the stars, I, Renaud Dominic, hereby make a vow that from this day forward, I will devote myself to the sea of stars, take them as friends, and use the power of the stars to never abandon or deviate. In the name of my teacher Izakir, I hereby petition, the stars are above, please listen to my voice. ”

This oath was the only spell that Izqui had taught him for half a year, and Renault had already learned it by heart. In fact, he had sung secretly, but even when he injected his magic, it never elicited the slightest reaction.

But at this moment, with the help of the Star Spirit Key and the help of Izakir's magic, he successfully touched the advent of the contract.

A magical inscription flashed in front of his forehead, and a mysterious feeling rose up, and the once familiar world suddenly became strange, and a force that he had never seen before appeared in his perception.

"That's what it is...... The power of the stars? Feeling the immensity of the sky, this thought came to Renault's mind.

"It's time!" Izquil let out a loud shout and took all the keys off in one go.

"Old friends, please bear witness to my legacy!"

The starlight flowed, and figures of different shapes emerged from the light gate.

"My generation, Orion's Orewin, acknowledges the successor." The silver key in Renault's hand burst into a glow.

"Ursa Major, Calisto, accept the contract." Said a beautiful voice hidden in the mist.

The remaining key made no sound, but the magic of the glowing flow made its stand.

"Finally ......" the old man Izakil let go of his hand holding the key, and sat down on the chaise longue weakly, but his face was full of relief, and his face was much more rosy.

"And ...... One last thing. The old man shuddered and took out a special key from his bosom.

The rusty key.

"Is this guy finally here?" Orewin, who had not yet disappeared, looked at the key in the old man's hand, and his face showed a complicated expression.

"Yes," the old man muttered as he looked at the last key, "it's time to make a break." ”

Renault listened to their conversation confused, and seemed to be involved in some old things that were not inhumane, but he knew that he was definitely not qualified to participate, so he could only stand aside and silently watch the direction of the matter.

The old man raised the key and shouted: "Hercules, do you hear my call, come out and meet, open it, the door of the Hercules!" ”

Silence, so quiet that even the sound of the wind has stopped.

The key did not change, but the old man's hand kept in the air, without the slightest intention of putting it down.

Suddenly, there were violent fluctuations in the air, and a huge magic array with a degree of complexity far greater than before appeared in mid-air, and the tyrannical magic spread out, and the dust was lifted to the ground.

Renault used his arm to block the strong wind that was blowing, and struggled to keep himself steady.

He saw a huge shadow in the smoke and dust becoming clearer and clearer, and the next moment, the smoke and dust were blown away, and the hideous demon god stood between heaven and earth.

"Itziquil," the giant's voice was low. "We meet again."

Renault's muscles stiffened, and the giant exuded an indescribable sense of oppression, giving rise to the illusion that he was an ant.

But the old man was extremely relaxed, he lay on the chair, like an old friend greeted each other: "Long time no see, Hercules, you are still so energetic." ”

"But you're dying." The giant said unceremoniously, "Long story short, how long can you summon me in your state?" ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, anyway...... This is probably the last time you will be called. ”

Itziquil sat down in his chair and looked calmly at the giant under the starry sky, strange to say, from the moment he appeared, all the originally brilliant stars dimmed, except for the northern touch, which shimmered with a smart light.

"You've ...... It's decided, right. The giant's tone was calm, but Renault seemed to hear a sense of regret.

"yes." Itziquil stretched out his arm, his expression languid, as if he had just woken up from a nap. But in Renault's eyes, it means that the old man's energy is about to run out.

But before he could react, the light around the giant's body shone brightly, and Izquikir's body shimmered, and this light seemed to give him some strength to support his body.

"Thanks," Izaki Kirk smiled, holding out his hand to Renault. Renault hurriedly walked over and supported the old man.

"Hagrid, look, how is this kid?"

The giant didn't even put his eyes on Renault, and said in a cold tone, "It's not good." ”

"It's still so unkind, this is my carefully selected protégé." The old man put his other hand on the back of Renault's hand, and the icy temperature made Renault shiver. "Although the talent for magic is relatively average, it is indeed a person worthy of trust......

"Hey, it sounds like you're going to marry us off." O'Rewin on the side interjected with a wry smile.

The giant didn't react, still staring at Izquirkir, and the old man was the same.

"Well, when I didn't say ......" failed to lighten the mood with a sneering joke, O'Rewin shrugged his shoulders and threw a "good luck" look at Renault.

"How do you think?" The giant asked.

"I'm running out of time, and I'm too late to find someone more suitable than him, so let's sign a contract with him." The old man's eyes did not blink, and his gaze was calm.

"If I change the contract," seemed to carry emotion in the giant's voice, "you're going to die, don't you know?" ”

"I understand, so, sign up."

The old man grabbed Reynolds' hand, shoved the rusty key into his hand, and squeezed his palm hard.

"Wait...... Wait a minute. Renault reacted and hurriedly stuffed the key back into the old man's hand, "What are you talking about?" Isn't it said that inheriting the key is only the loss of a part of the magic, what is the matter with death? ”

He looked at the old man for a moment, at the giant for a while, and a feeling of unease swirled in his heart.

"Doesn't this kid know anything?" The giant asked, seeing that the old man did not mean to answer, and turned to Orewin on the side, "You didn't say that either?" ”

O'Rewin raised his head and studied the stars seriously, and said something in his mouth: "Mercury retrograde, I'm afraid I'm going to be unlucky lately." ”

Under the forced gaze of the giant and Renault, he shrugged helplessly: "It's none of my business, it's what Izakir meant." ”

"I'm sorry," O'Rewin said innocently, pointing at the tall Hercules, "I don't have anything to do with this guy." ”

"Hey, what are you talking about? What the hell is hiding from me? Renault listened to their words, and became more and more uneasy, he looked at the old man for a while, and then at the stars, waving his arms excitedly, this feeling of being kept in the dark by everyone was not very pleasant.

"Be quiet, stupid boy, can't you see it? Your teacher, that Izakir guy, is about to give up his life. ”

"What...... Abandon? He's not...... Coming soon...... Wait, you're saying he could have lived? ”

Renault looked up in disbelief, and suddenly, thinking of something, he raised the key bag in his hand, and the small package was like a burning charcoal in his hand at the moment.

"It seems that you really don't know anything, really, then I'll tell you."

"Hagrid!" The old man let out an angry roar, and the old man's voice trembled, and his tone was almost pleading, "That's enough, don't do this." ”

"You guys are enough, I know what you're thinking, even if you feel guilty, it's not a reason to give up your life casually!"

"It's my own decision, anyway, this life should have been returned to you a long time ago, it's enough to survive for so long."

"Then you are planning to leave so inexplicably, your long-cherished wishes, your ambitions, have been abandoned like this, right? I don't remember the weakness of what I followed! ”

"But......" The old man's eyes widened, and after a while, he finally collapsed on the chaise longue, his eyes were sad, he turned his gaze to Renault, who was looking at him, and his tone became weak: "Stinky boy, I will leave this opportunity for you, you can leave with those keys now, in this case you are still my student, the previous contract is still valid, you already have all my star spirits except Hagrid, and I promise that they will cooperate with you and will never break the contract." ”

"Or," he said, taking a deep breath, "stay here and listen to a story that contains everything about me, but if so, you will no longer be my student, but my heir, the only one who receives everything from me!" You will inherit all that I have, magic, glory, kindness and hatred! After listening to this story, you will no longer live for yourself, are you sure? ”

He stared into Renault's eyes: "Now the choice is up to you, go or stay, you decide!" ”
