Chapter 152: Signing the Contract
Life is already so difficult, there are some things that should not be debunked.
No one really thought that Edith would be Jock's daughter, even if they really looked a little alike, even if the JI woman who sent Edith in the past was full of words and tears.
But when the demon boy said this today, everyone believed it. Ever since Alan had clearly stated the internal numbers of everyone in the circus, the circus had believed that the demon boy knew a lot about his team. Therefore, when Eren said the vague words, everyone did not even have the slightest doubt in their hearts.
It's crazy, it's incredible, I can't imagine that Captain Jock actually has the ability to do that. All the members of the circus, male and female, indifferent or fanatical, had a certain ambiguity in their eyes at the moment.
At this time, Cesar, Fuwei and others had just arrived, and they were a little shocked in the face of the scene after the battle, looking at the young man wearing a demon mask in the field, they only felt that this person seemed to be Allen, but after a closer look, the height and posture did not match, and Mr. Allen did not seem to have this demonic energy.
Who knows, in the days when everyone was separated, Allen once again completed the improvement of his strength, and his height and body shape have changed to a certain extent.
Fortunately, Fuwei and the others saw the two familiar figures, Dale and Joey, and saw the mechanical puppet standing in the field, so they followed Joey and the others to stand behind Allen.
After Alan frankly explained his intentions, the atmosphere in the camp eased a lot. Now, Jock Circus agrees to a deal, hoping that Alan will use the information he has to help the circus find Edith's whereabouts. But there is a disagreement between the two sides about the items to be traded.
What Eren wanted was a piece of roulette around Jock's waist. Alan looked at the expressions of everyone in the circus, and knew in his heart. Although these seven people understood the importance of the roulette fragment, they obviously did not know its true origin, and this became Allen's biggest confidence to stick to the transaction.
Alan thought that if the other party knew that this was a space-time weapon, no one would agree.
In the negotiation, the hesitation of one party. It's an opportunity for the other side.
Allen knows that the big reason why the circus disagrees is not that the roulette wheel cannot be given up, but that he does not have enough chips.
Returning to Edith was important, but it was difficult to get the circus to get the roulette wheel pieces to get away. It is with the existence of this roulette wheel that the circus can save itself from danger and escape in many difficulties.
This is a weapon for protecting the group, from the emotional and profit considerations. Everyone didn't want to lose it, but since the masked boy said that, Captain Jock had become a little weird, and it seemed that he could agree to the other party's conditions at any time, which made the other six people somewhat angry.
But what can be done at the moment, the other party is outnumbered, if it really fights, the circus is very likely to be wiped out!
Then the druid sage spoke, "The shards you spoke of are impossible to trade. You can change it, even if it costs money. We have that too! ”
Alan shook his head, his goal was clear, he didn't want money, he wanted the Wheel of Time and Space fragments. Even if there is no Edith tonight, Alan is stealing, and he will steal this thing. At this time, it is a matter of time and space. It is also the only thing Alan can think of at the moment, a weapon to solve the mystery of his rebirth, if there is no help from the Wheel of Time and Space, then Alan may only spend his life in suspicion day by day.
Wearing a demon mask, he has an eerie atmosphere. Allen's resoluteness made it somewhat difficult for everyone in the circus to adapt, and this attitude was really a bit arrogant!
"What the hell are you for!" Druid said angrily.
Asking this question, he didn't think Alan would answer.
"The Skeleton Legion you saw just now is my enemy, and it will be your enemy in the future. I have come to seek the possibility of dismantling this power. Alan said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked again, and their minds recalled the difficult situation of the battle.
At this time, the corpse demon tree suddenly spoke, and said to Allen, "When you were fighting just now, did you notice the druid's tree?" You tell him that we can help him improve and save him the noise. "Although the Corpse Demon Tree doesn't know what Eren wants the roulette wheel fragment to do, this kid has an excellent eye, and what he wants is naturally not too bad.
Alan listened and nodded repeatedly, remembering the circus camp just now, and in the middle of the battle, this Mr. Druid summoned a war tree. This corpse demon tree is an old tree man who has lived for 10,000 years, and since this guy said that he can help Mr. Druid improve, he is completely sure.
However, Eren did not say anything about it immediately, but continued: "There is no evidence for saying it now, we can sign a soul contract, and if I help you find Edith, you will give me the pieces of the roulette wheel." If I can't find Edith, nothing will happen, and everyone will go their separate ways. ”
"I don't think there's anything to lose for you." Alan said with a smile.
In fact, this is a psychological hint of step-by-step, as if two people are standing on the edge of a cliff at the same time, and they are about to fall, but one of them is more courageous and takes a small step forward, so if the other person does not want to fall off the cliff, he can only turn around and give way.
In fact, Jock's circus was not entirely without losses in this trade, and they needed to put out roulette pieces as a bet, and the price behind this was that they would lose a lot of support forever, and it would be difficult to guarantee safety in the future when they were in danger.
However, with the loss of Edith, Chock's circus was already facing the tragic price of losing its companions, and it seemed unacceptable to use one loss to make up for another.
Both sides were silent.
The battle was not going to happen, negotiations were impossible, and there was a stalemate. Allen didn't continue to increase his weight in the transaction, sticking to his bottom line, and the other party felt that the weight was not enough? Then use silence to wait for the other party to lower their psychological expectations.
Finally, Jock spoke: "I can agree to your terms, but there must be an additional clause to the contract. ”
Well, tonight's game, no matter what, will ultimately have to be set by the absolute strong.
Seeing that the deadlock was broken, Alan said, "Mr. Commander, please speak." ”
"You help me Edith, but if you can't find it, you must die!" Jock the Clown said unquestioningly.
As soon as this remark came out. There was silence.
This time, the problem came to Allen. In the eyes of many warriors and cavalrymen, there was no need to agree to such a condition, but since the other party had already said it, Alan needed to respond no matter what. Otherwise, it will be an impasse again.
The crowd didn't wait long.
Mr. Demon spoke.
"If I can't find Edith, I can duel you." Alan is full of reverence for life, and it is impossible for him to easily surrender his life.
Want a duel?
As soon as these words came out, the difficult problem of the negotiation snowballed and rolled back to the side of Jock's circus.
Hearing this, Jock giggled. flipped a few times in succession, and looked at Allen with a pair of eyes, like a clown looking at the loyal audience in the audience.
"I'm very much looking forward to that day." Jock said heavily.
Looking forward to a duel? Alan smiled helplessly, does this Mr. Clown want to get back Edith, or does he want to fight with himself, this guy is really crazy.
But no matter what, things have finally settled, and Alan relies on his strong personal strength. As well as two major reinforcements, finally temporarily suppressed the crazy circus first class. The possibility of calm negotiations between the two sides was obtained. The outcome of the negotiations was rather gratifying, as Alan successfully included the Wheel of Time Fragment he wanted into the deal, and in return, he had to help the circus retrieve Edith.
Regarding the whereabouts of Edith, Alan already has a bottom in his heart. The system even released the mission, once Edith was found. You will be able to gain 300 opinion points in Jock's Circus and get a special piece of information about the Chrono Wheel.
Based on the timing of the first appearance of the City Slaughter Doll, it is clear that Edith is now in the hands of the Golden City, the forces of Victor. And it is very likely that the demonic transformation will be completed within this year. This kind of rebel, even without the help of systems and space-time weapons, ordinary people can think of it.
Demonic transformation is not a simple matter, and in order to accomplish this, Victor must mobilize and dispatch the minions in the Golden City and send a large number of resources. This will not be a small fight, and as long as the other party has a move, it is not difficult for Alan to find out Edith if he wants to follow the vine.
In addition, there are not many places in the Golden City and its vicinity that can hide a demon fetus like Edith, and with the blood induction provided by the head of Chok, Eren is ninety percent sure of finding her. Even if he can't find her and finally face a duel with Jock, Alan still has a sixty percent chance of winning. In a business world, with a 10% profit, it is enough to take risks. Such an agreement can be signed.
Soon, a paper agreement was written, and Alan made a soul contract with his warlock ability, and he and Jock each dropped a drop of essence blood, and the deal was established.
"This matter has been completed, please calm down, tonight's events have disturbed a lot, I apologize here." After Allen finished speaking, he made an amazing move.
In the night, he took off his mask and cloak to reveal his handsome appearance and modest nature.
When everyone in the circus saw Allen's true face, their faces showed surprise. Right now, where is there still a little bit of demonic energy in this person.
Even the mercenary group and the cavalry battalion and others were also very surprised, until the moment before Alan took off his mask, everyone was still wondering, whether this demon boy could be some friend of Mr. Allen, how could they not guess, this is him.
"Now that I've taken off my mask, you can investigate my identity at any time. However, the contract is ahead, and I must make one thing clear, and in my future actions, I will only deal with you in a mask. Circus friends, if you see me on the street without a mask, please treat me as if you don't know me. ”
Alan drew the bottom line bluntly, the friends of the circus were too crazy, and Alan didn't want to be involved with them too much. It is enough to take off the mask, express your sincerity, and avoid excessive suspicion on the part of the other party.
"Okay, I like your mask, I only recognize the mask, not the person." Mr. Clown applauded happily and smiled softly.
"If you don't dislike your friends from the circus, let's go into the city with us, and then we'll start looking for Edith at once." "Tonight, our camp will rest in the woods, and if necessary, we can help you repair your tents." ”
Hearing this, Jock did not answer, but the druid sage said, "No need, this camp will be destroyed if it is destroyed, and the first priority is to find Edith." (To be continued.) )
