..........................................................................................

Whirring and whirring, Jacques seemed to hear a heavy gasp in someone's ear, and every breath and breath so in unison with his own heartbeat: "Is this my breathing?

In the heavy breathing, more than ten seconds passed, and Jacques used up all his strength, and said in a hoarse voice that seemed to come from another world: "I, what am I going to do?"

He felt that he had been divided into two parts, one part full of longing, completely drowned by the tide of love, and the other part, watching and blaming himself but powerless to stop it.

"Mr. Jacques, you only need to sign a magical contract with me, not reveal my identity, turn a blind eye to any abnormalities discovered during the inspection, and do not try to betray us after the ship sails and returns to Stulk......" Lucien still maintained a graceful smile and absolute vigilance, and the knightly squires of faith often went wrong when things were reached, "and I promise to provide you with a blood-stimulating potion when you are unable to become a knight on your own strength in three years." Even if you can't find me then, the Magical Council will help with it, and this can be signed by Mr. Tom on behalf of the Council. ”

After saying that, Lucien added: "We can also add to the magic contract: as long as it does not endanger our lives, we will not harm you and your companions on this sailing ship." ”

Jacques gasped heavily, raised his head, and looked into Lucian's eyes: "Okay, you win, Cherie is my biggest weakness." ”

As soon as the words are spoken. He felt that something in his heart was broken, but after making a decision, the contradictory and complex emotions of hesitation, embarrassment, hope and dare not accept it disappeared completely. The whole person is in a strange state of relaxation.

"Congratulations, Monsieur Jacques, you have made the right choice, and I think your future is certainly bright. Lucien smiled. With his right hand, he took out the parchment paper he had prepared from his bosom and handed it to Jacques, while he took out a quill and "magic ink" from his pocket. Writing quickly on it, in the form of a mysterious magical contract.

As he wrote, Lucien did not look at the parchment, but kept staring at Jacques, his left hand not relaxing in the slightest, and continued to hold it weakly.

Jacques didn't care, looking down at the parchment in his hand. Slightly bitter, he said: "I have seen my future, and it is a dark future. It is difficult for me, who have violated faith and chivalry, to stimulate the blood power on my own, and it is difficult to improve the stimulation of potions, let alone overcome the difficulty of the great knight. But as long as there is Cherry, even if it is an abyss. I would also not hesitate to jump in. ”

"Monsieur Jacques, you are such a good lover, and I admire you from the bottom of my heart. "And as far as I know, the observance of chivalry is to find one's own path, to gather one's will, and then to use it to stimulate the blood power." What is your path? Is it to protect Miss Cherry, to protect your love? Are you willing to abandon everything and accept the temptation of the devil for this path? If so, then I think you can also rely on your own will to stimulate your blood. ”

Jacques looked at Lucien in surprise: "Mysterious magician, your opinion on stimulating the power of the blood is very different from that of my knight teacher, but there seems to be some truth. Tom was just as strange and surprised, but he didn't expect Lucien to have an unusual understanding of the knightly path.

"I know a few high-ranking knights...... Lucien replied vaguely, it was impossible to say that he had summed it up from Natasha's occasional remarks, "and in today's continent, science, uh, magic research is advancing by leaps and bounds, and even if you rely on potions to stimulate the power of your veins, Mr. Jacques, it is not a dead end. Maybe in a few years, ten years, there will be a magician who will develop a better potion recipe that can help you make up the foundation and continue to advance?"

With that, Lucien waved his quill a few times and signed his name after the contract was at its worst.

At this point, Jacques certainly wanted to hear words that would boost his confidence, so he smiled for the first time: "I heard that the Holy Water of the Church, combined with the secret potion of the noble family, can raise people up to the rank of a second-class knight, such as the Grand Duke of Vaorit. In the future, there may be a real hope for the breakthrough you mentioned, Mr. Magician. Uh, Lucien, Evans, hehe, you're the same name as Cherry's favorite talented musician, but he's an uncompromising warrior for the dark, and you're ......."

When Jacques turned the parchment to read the terms, he was surprised to find Lucian's signature, but he sighed and continued to look at the contract, which did not connect the two men at all, how could the great musician, who was sought after everywhere, be a devilish evil guy who was hiding in front of him.

"Huh. Lucien laughed dryly, magic contracts without their real names had no effect. At the same time, he turned his head slightly to look at Tom, and wondered if he had guessed his identity, and he had only used the surname Evans before.

If Granneuve was here, thinking of Grace helping someone hand over a note, thinking that the guy he sent someone to find out secretly was actually named Lucien Evans, and thinking that Grace was a student of a gifted musician, I am afraid that the guy in front of him would have been sure that the famous musician in front of him was the famous musician, but I don't know if he mentioned to Tom that it was Grace who helped send the note.

Tom, who was blocked in the doorway, still stared solemnly at Lucian's left hand and Jacques, ready to explode at any time, and seemed to have no reaction to the things with the same name and surname because he had seen too much.

Jacques looked at the contract a few times to make sure there was no problem, then took Lucian's quill and signed his name "Jacques Wich" in the lower right corner: "Mr. Evans, is that all right?"

Lucien nodded, asked Tom to sign his name, and then took the magic contract in his hand, and his spiritual power spread out to completely envelop it.

A slight fluctuation of magic emerges from the words on the parchment, turning into a pale blue flame that burns slowly.

Since he didn't cast his own spells, Lucien was able to suppress magic fluctuations with his mental power, watching as the parchment turned to ashes in the pale blue flames.

When it burned out completely, Lucien suddenly felt something invisible in his soul. Jacques's expression also became slightly dazed.

It's a sign that the magic pact has been formed!

"The contract is established, and if it is violated, it will be burned by the magic flame and the soul will be destroyed. Lucien smiled and held out his right hand to shake Jacques's hand, as if celebrating the success of the collaboration. "Then we won't bother Mr. Jacques to check the Divine Array. ”

Jacques gave Lucien a deep look: "Mr. Evans, I have to say that you are a real devil, a devil who is good at demagoguery. When I used to train as a knight. I always thought that I could stand firm against temptation in the face of the devil, but now I ......"

He didn't finish his sentence, and he walked past Lucien to check the hatch next to the window.

Lucien and Tom watched him from the doorway as he got serious about his work.

"If the magic contract is really broken, it is very likely to be suppressed by divine magic. Evans, aren't you afraid?" asked Tom quietly. He understands that the magic contract is not stable, for example, Lucian, as long as he is promoted to the middle rank, he can rely on the strength of his soul to resist the soul flame damage caused by the magic contract.

Lucien's voice was inaudible and he replied, "The magic contract is just a formality, and when he decides to sign it, I have a good degree of confidence that he won't break it." As long as the human heart is 'fallen', it will be difficult for it to face the 'light'. It's only going to get deeper and deeper. Of course, there are risks, but they are much less risky than taking the risk of casting magic, so in terms of probability, I have to choose the former. ”

"Nice idea. I heard of a half-elf priest who believed in Lady Luck. Every decision is made by tossing a coin and throwing what is what. Tom nodded and smiled, "The magic potion will be issued by the council at that time, after all, you have protected so many apprentices." ”

Then, accompanied by Lucien and Tom, Jacques inspected the cabins one by one, ignoring the apprentices trying to hide in the small room.

It wasn't until Jacques left, and a full hour had passed without incident, that Lucien let out a long sigh that it seemed that he would not risk snitching.

............

Viscount Wright's cabin.

The expensive Camelot Kingdom porcelain cups were tossed heavily onto the carpet and crumbled into countless small pieces in a dull manner.

"Waste, you are all waste, you let the fish-people steal so many Hailan Stones, and almost let people find those guys. Viscount Wright roared angrily.

In front of him, Granneuve and Tom stood straight, their heads bowed deeply.

Viscount Wright walked back and forth: "I want to know, how can the Kou Tao fish people know that we are transporting the Hailan Stone this time?! ”

Even with a tenth of the wealth of Stucker City, such a serious loss made Viscount Wright distort his face.

"Yes, Lord Viscount. Granneuve and Tom replied in a daze.

After Viscount Wright vented, his expression became cold: "Find a chance to get rid of that knight squire named Jacques, anyway, the contract only stipulates that you can't do anything with the magician and Tom." ”

"Yes. Granneuve nodded vigorously.

"Wait, forget it, I don't want to upset Cherie. Viscount Wright held his forehead and waved his hand tiredly, "Let's go and find out about Hailan Stone." ”

............

Over the next month, the weather became colder and colder, but since escaping the fish-man attack, the fleet did not survive major storms and attacks, and successfully reached the "Port of Padre" in the Kingdom of Holm on the other side of the Storm Strait.

On the penultimate floor, Lucien and the others, who returned to live after the cabin was repaired, stood quietly next to the wooden box loaded with goods, and the mood was equally surging.

Even a magician like Lucien, who has a lot of experience and is calm and calm, can hardly restrain the excitement and joy in his heart at this time, and after not knowing how many dangers he has faced, he has finally arrived in the Kingdom of Holm and can learn magic with peace of mind. As for the matter of "polluting the sea", Lucien is not the slightest bit greedy, and with his current strength, he is afraid that he will be looking for death.

"Evans, lie down in the wooden box, and don't be afraid, don't do it while someone checks it. Tom pointed to the dozen or so empty wooden boxes.

Lucien nodded, as an example, first stepped into the wooden box and curled up to lie down, and then watched as a layer of planks came down, and darkness descended, sealed and narrow.

The sound of cargo falling on the planks was incessant, and Lucien thought amusedly, "This seems to be lying in a coffin and being buried." ”

Loaded with goods, another layer of planks, and then firmly nailed with iron nails.

In the darkness, I don't know how long it took, and when Lucien thought he would be in the bumps forever, the nails were pulled out, the planks were lifted, and someone began to inspect the goods.

Lucien, who was on high alert but did not move as Tom commanded, quietly listened to the sound of the goods being pulled, and then Jacques's voice appeared: "No problem. ”

The planks were re-covered, and the bumpy sensation returned, until the crates were placed on cold, damp ground.

Another long time passed, the planks were opened, the goods were removed, the compartment plywood was withdrawn, and the sun shone into the eyes of the vigilant Lucian.

Sitting up slowly, Lucien squinted at the man opposite.

It was a tall young man in a white shirt, brown waistcoat, and a double-breasted black tuxedo, wearing a tall black top hat, and in the unusually bright sunshine, he said with a bright smile: "Welcome to Holm, companion on the magical path." ”

Lucien's mood suddenly relaxed, the depression disappeared completely, and he understood that a new chapter in his life had begun.
