Chapter 20 A Good Deed of Sale
Now the development of events has taken a turn in unexpected places, and when the living people think that the dust is finally settled, there will always be a new surprise in the matter. If the murder and conspiracy against Romeona were to be compared to a vaguely indistinguishable straight line, it had now been folded several times into an irregular, unaesthetic line of chaos. What should have been a very crisp murder has become a situation where most of the victims and perpetrators have died here.
What made what should have been a simple thing difficult to guess, and bent the thread wantonly, was the alchemist with a happy smile.
Things were full of twists and turns, and Julius and Romeona didn't understand why things had suddenly changed their way. Leo, who could have escaped by chance, was killed by Olga's dagger, and Pattin, who was about to have a life-and-death duel with Olga, was suddenly stopped by Lulunaka, and the contract between them was completed and ended at once. Now, Patin is trapped by Lulunaka again, and has become almost like a mummy, and it seems that he has no hands free to deal with Olga. Now it can be said that the dominance here is back in the hands of Lulunaka, and it can even be said that the life and death of Padin also fell into the hands of Lulunaka.
Julius and Romeona could only stare dryly, watching what was happening in front of them, but they could not fully comprehend it. Olga is different, he has decades of life experience and travel experience, he has seen many strange things, good things that make people feel happy, and sinister hearts that make people who are not eaten and spurned, all of which he has encountered. He wasn't a wise man, but he was once a very sophisticated traveler. Olga lowered her sword in her hand, a little surprised and incredulous in her tone, "You promised Padin that you would never hurt the knight again—and you did, and it was me, not you, who killed the knight of the church. He felt a little uncomfortable because it looked like Lulunaka had led him to do so, and he had become like a hinted person, a marionette.
"It has nothing to do with me, Lord Olga. I can only promise what I won't do, and I won't promise what I won't let others do. "I promised not to force him to give up killing Miss Romeona, and he couldn't force me to protect Leo from being killed—that was not the same thing as me killing him, and there was nothing in the contract." Lulunaka smiled at Pattin, who was wrapped in a mummy, "I don't think you have any problem with that, Mr. Edgar, I didn't break any of the terms of the contract I just ended, and as for why you are like this, it's just fulfilling the contract." Just as I have fulfilled the promise of not killing Mr. Knight, even though he is still dead, you may feel sorry, but no matter how sorry you are, you have to keep your promise. ”
There were no loopholes in Lulunaka's words, and there were no deceptive traps in the freshly burned contract. She formally signed a contract with Pattin, and then honestly fulfilled the contract.
Pattin, wrapped in black parchment, apparently heard Lulunaka's words, and heard them clearly. He struggled, but the parchment seemed tougher than the linen rope of his arm, binding him tightly, and the force of the contract made him, the Silver Knight, powerless to resist.
The parchment that wrapped around Pattin's head revealed turquoise text. The texts are not hollowed out of the parchment, scattered throughout the parchment, and are not pieced together to form a readable content. If the parchment that wraps Pattin's head is used as the head and fangs of a python, then these words are probably Pattin's "blood". The contract that remained in Pattin's memory was pierced by the python with its fangs, and the words in the contract were like blood, draining down the fangs and entering the python's mouth. The python is like a leech that has been sucked in blood, and even the bright blood can be faintly seen on the epidermis. The turquoise words were Pattin's blood, Pattin's brain, now sucked on Lulunaka's parchment.
The scene was so horrific that even the well-informed Olga had never seen such a strange thing, let alone the young Romeona and Julius. Julius thinks it's a witch's trick, and the so-called parchment, which is actually a giant python, now takes the opportunity to attack Pattin, making Patin his own delicacy. "I've never seen such a strange snake, is this also a witch's trick?"
Romeona was not as stubborn as Julius, and had to think of Lulunaka as a witch. And she came from an aristocratic background, so she always had more knowledge than Julius. It's undoubtedly a magic item, and as Lulunaka says, it's meant to make a contract. Romeona knew that there were contracts that would be written on magical paper to ensure that they would not break the contract. But she hadn't heard of such a contract paper that bound and wrapped people and sucked something.
No matter how much surprise they had in their hearts, Lulunaka didn't seem to have any intention of explaining or explaining it to them. She grabbed the end of the parchment and waited. The shredded writing on the parchment on Pattin's head began to flow towards the ends, like food entering the stomach, but more like blood flowing from the mouth of a python to its tail.
The scattered words reached the parchment in Lulunaka's hand, and each word, each word, fell in a different place as if it had found its rightful place. When the last words have flowed here, and after entering the last vacancy, a text that can be read is formed.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Edgar. Lulunaka brought the new contract to her eyes and began to read it, not forgetting to express her gratitude to Pattin, "Thank you for being a knight, and if you're a merchant, it might be a hassle for you to show it." For businessmen, some secret contracts are very personal matters, and to show them is to go against their hearts. But to the knights, it doesn't seem like it's against their hearts - you knights are more interested in fairness and justice than privacy, and if I'm not mistaken, and then your knights' ethos hasn't changed, that's how it should be. Or is there another possibility, which is that you are not very happy with the contract either?"
Lulunaka took a moment to read through the contract, which was neither long nor short. The contents of the contract, forcibly extracted from Pattin's spiritual world, made Lulunaka laugh heartily, and her laughter was crisp, completely different from the rough laughter of men, like a whole bell ringing in the wind. "Mr. Edgar, you are so full of surprises, this kind of contract...... No, you dare to sign this kind of deed of sale?"
