Chapter 17 The contract requires a piece of parchment

Lulunaka clapped her hands in joy when she heard Pattin's words, completely unconcerned about being yelled at by Pattin, "Oh, you answered really well, Knight Edgar. I knew you were a generous and noble knight, and thank you so much. ”

After Patin said the words, the momentum of the whole person decreased a little, and the cross sword in his hand was flat on the ground, changing from a half-kneeling position to a kneeling position. He closed his eyes and didn't look up at Lulunaka again, as if he had lowered his head.

Everyone present was amazed at how things turned out. Olga couldn't have imagined that Patin would really bow his head and trade his dignity as a knight for the life of the knight next to him. This is not an understatement, and since he has made a promise, Lulunaka should have a way to ensure that he keeps his promise.

Olga remembered what Padin had said earlier. During the confrontation, Patin stressed more than once that this was a job and that he had to get it done. Is this also a promise he made to someone, and a promise he couldn't refuse?

For a silver knight to do such a disgraceful deed, Olga did not dare to think about who was the mastermind of this matter, and why he had killed a harmless poor girl, and why it was Romeona. Is it really because Romeo Na is an existence that would not be too much of a pity to be abandoned?

If Patin is a silver chip, then in the eyes of those people, Romeona is probably just a small piece of copper, right?

Olga looked at Romeo. By this time Romeona had stopped vomiting, leaning against the tree, bent over and gasping, and could not see any bright colors in her eyes, like the walking dead.

Olga felt extremely heartache for what happened to Romeona, and also had grief and anger that could not be vented.

Julius was also watching Luluna and Pattin. There were some words that his simple head couldn't understand, and Olga didn't bother to explain them to him, so that when Lulunaka's conversation with Patin reached his ears, most of them turned into clouds, and he couldn't really figure it out at all. But there was one thing he had figured out, and that was that the knight, who looked strong despite his insidiousness and vileness—he subjectively thought so—put down his sword and bowed his head in front of Lulunaka.

A tall and brave knight, in front of a petite and effeminate maiden, threw his weapon on the ground and lowered his head, which should have been raised—a picture etched into Julius's eyes.

"Edgar Knight......" Leo began, his tone full of guilt. He had thought that Patin would not make such a humiliating promise, just to save him, the man who would return alive and who might shift all the blame to him. He thought that Lulunaka's previous words had made him have no chance of survival, and Lulunaka didn't really want to make such a deal, but just wanted to fiddle with the two of them like toys. Patin could have let him die here, and if Lulunaka hadn't lied, she wouldn't have stopped Padin from killing Romeona. This means that Padin still has a chance to complete the mission, as for the death of these Church Knights here, although it is a big loss, but Patin only needs to report the situation truthfully, then he will not be punished too much - he is a useful outsider, and he is also a much more important bargaining chip than the twelve Church Knights, no one would be willing to severely punish a Silver Knight for the death of twelve Black Iron Knights, not to mention that it was a stupid mistake made by the Church Knights - maybe even he Leo · The people behind Pastin will think the same way, and will not feel much regret for the death of Leo.

Leo knew that the man had always been generous, but also ruthless. Therefore, he will prepare a few magic items for Leo to defend himself, and he will never be angry or shed even a tear because of Leo's death.

And now, because of Patin's sacrifice, he has a chance to survive. He felt sorry for the noble knight who had dragged him into a murder that was neither honorable nor dishonorable, and had put him in such a situation - and even more guilty that he didn't know if he could face his mistakes as calmly as Pattin, and tell the people behind the scenes that it had all been screwed up by Leo Pastine, and that he had even let a silver knight fall into the hands of someone else.

He will not face a simple punishment, but a heavy punishment.

"Knight Pastine, cheer up. Patin opened his mouth and said to Leo, who looked ashamed beside him, "Don't listen to this young girl who calls herself an alchemist but is no different from the devil, she is just disturbing your mind and taking pleasure in seeing you panic." When you get back, just report what happened here, it's not any of you's fault, if anyone's responsibility is true, it's just that we are all responsible—no one could have imagined that a young girl who lives in the forest could be a devil. ”

"Then what do you do, Knight Edgar. ”

Patin did not answer this question. He didn't know how to answer that question.

"Rest assured, Lord Knight. Luluna interjected, "I'm not going to let Mr. Edgar do anything too much, and I won't force him to do the thing that gives up killing Miss Romeona, that would be too much." With that, Lulunaka pulled out a roll of parchment from the pocket of her clothes. Cut into long, thin strips and rolled into a bunch, this parchment paper is perfect for carrying out the house. There was a lot of parchment rolled into a small reel, and Lulunaka only unfolded it for a short time, pulling it horizontally in front of her. "By the way, since it's a transaction, it's better to write it down in black and white. It just so happens that I have something here that is perfect for a contract. ”

Patin sensed a faint amount of magic on the parchment, and upon closer inspection, he saw that the parchment was no ordinary object. "This is the sheepskin of the spirit sheep. "The parchment was black, and the edges of the paper were slightly curled, and it looked a little old. Lulunaka unfolded the black parchment in front of Pattin, as if she were going to read something out in front of him, and Patin knelt down with her head bowed, like a knight about to receive a will.

"There is no better parchment for writing a contract than the skin of the black spirit sheep. Lulunaka laughed, "If anyone dares to break the contract, the Black Spirit Goat's parchment will turn gray, and the defaulter will become a target that will attract spirits wherever they go." If it's a harmless soul, it's fine, but if it attracts evil spirits, it can only be said that it will be a very exciting experience. Endless spirits will torment the defaulter to the point of mental exhaustion, and no matter what means he can do to destroy the spirits, there will always be times when he will be exhausted, and spirits are everywhere...... Maybe you can take a breather by hiding in a church with the bones of a saint, but a traitor written on the parchment of the black spirit sheep will probably even rebuke you with the remnants of the saint's soul?"

"Am I supposed to be honored to use something so precious to me?" said Pattin, with a wry smile. Lulunaka seemed well prepared, and in order to make him completely surrender, and to avoid the possibility that he might break his promise, she used even such a valuable thing. The parchment of the spirit sheep is generally only used for secret and important contracts, mostly in some shady transactions, the most popular people to use this are conspirators, killers and mages, and sometimes, these three identities may appear in the same person's identity, and do not conflict.

"There is also an advantage to writing a contract in the sheepskin of a spirit sheep. "Even if I forget to take a pen, it doesn't stop me from writing down the contract...... In other words, to put the content down. Then, Lulunaka's mouth uttered strange syllables. Lulunaka didn't speak any of the world's languages, it sounded like a series of ripples of bells. Her voice captivates everyone, and one can't help but want to indulge in her voice, even if she may be a devil who can tempt people to fall.

Lulunaka's voice seemed to have magical power, making the parchment in her hand seem to become a living creature, and the surface of it squirmed. On the black parchment, small pieces of parchment peeled off and fell to the ground, and the hollowed-out places became words, as if carved on the parchment with a knife. When Lulunaka's voice stopped, a "contract" was completed.

Lulunaka pointed the contract towards Padding, "Mr. Edgar, look at it, can you accept such a contract?"
