Chapter 31 Fair Trade

"If you just leave, within ten days, you'll really die, stupid Natsu!"

Alexie's words finally made her stop and stand still. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and her previous guess was also confirmed because of this sentence.

Sometimes, when listening to a person, the point is not so much what he says, but why he says it.

So, when she saw that the purpose of Alexie's previous actions was to distract herself, she readjusted her mind and guessed that the little girl was trying to hide the fact that she couldn't control the contract mark. And now, when it became clear that she had the intention of leaving, the little girl said this sentence that was obviously for her to stay, plus the guy had deliberately reminded her that he might be able to order her through the contract mark again...... The purpose of this magical girl is already out!

This cunning little girl really wants her to stay?

The speculation in her mind had been confirmed, but at the same time, more doubts followed.

Why would you want to keep yourself?

You know, after this little girl calculated herself, she didn't hesitate to leave herself and escape from the vampire's castle.

Judging from this matter, she doesn't think this little girl is a simple and kind pollution-free girl!

Between her and herself, there is only the identity of the summoner and the summoned, but since both parties have understood that this contract mark has lost its proper utility, there is not much connection between the two except for some minor grudges, right?

Therefore, the only reason for this little girl's change/attitude is probably the change that happened to her.

Did she take a fancy to her current 'Blood Puppet' body?

Or is this little girl fancy the strength she has now?

After all, recalling Alexie's performance against herself just now, there seems to be a hint of deliberate temptation in it......

Is it a calculation again?

Thinking about this in her heart, her expression changed slightly, and she didn't look back, but asked in a calm tone.

"Dead? huh...... Little girl, why do you say that?"

She wanted to know what reason this magical girl had to decide her fate so easily, could it be that this cunning little girl was not only a magician, but also a magic stick of an unpredictable prophet?

Hmph, really think you're so fooled?

Sure enough, seeing that she stopped, Alexie spoke leisurely again, and as soon as she spoke, she smelled a hint of conspiracy from it.

"That's naturally because of your current body, the 'blood puppet', Natsu!"

Tut... Sure enough, did you fancy your new body?

Hearing this, her eyes narrowed, and a certain guess in her heart had been confirmed. However, she just remained silent, as if she wanted to hear why a certain magical girl dared to say that.

"I said it before, Natsu!"

Alexie seemed to have guessed the reason for her not to speak, and quickly continued: "As for the blood golem, it is generally impossible to produce life, and besides, it is not suitable to be a carrier of life!"

"Because, its role is only to temporarily inherit the power given by the ancestor of the blood clan, and it is not designed to make it some kind of active puppet that exists for a long time. The reason why you are able to move freely now is only because it has the blood essence of the vampire prince in its body, that is to say, it is this powerful blood essence that has become the source of power for this puppet to move freely!"

Carrier, container design, source of strength?

How do these words sound like a robot?

For her, who knew nothing about the knowledge of this magical world, she really couldn't tell the truth of Alex's remarks, so she could only choose to continue listening. But then, she was shocked by the words of this magical girl---

"However, this source of magic power is not infinite, Natsu! Once those blood essences in your body are consumed, you will lose all mobility, and your body will turn into a stiff puppet again!"

Hey...... Little girl, is it really okay for you to say that?

Could it be that you are like a gasoline-powered engine, and once you run out of fuel, you will become a pile of broken copper?

For a moment, she was really a little hesitant: Hmm... Whatever Alexie's intentions, is it credible based on her words alone?

Soon, thoughtful, she began to fight back on some details of Alexie's words. She turned her head and looked up at the magical girl who was sitting on the branch again, and asked her, "Hmph, even if what you said is true, how do you know that these blood essences are only enough to provide me with ten days of activity?

However, the magical girl quickly gave the answer to this question---

"Hmph! You don't need to doubt me in this kind of thing, Xia! I can assert that ten days is no less!"

As if knowing what was going on in her mind, Alexie snorted, raised the familiar two fingers of her right hand again, and then bent the first: "What I just said is just the first situation, and the kind of result you have to face anyway!"

To this, she just shrugged her shoulders and was noncommittal.

Then, Alexie pointed the rest of her finger at her, the corners of her mouth curled playfully, and her eyes curved into a pair of crescents.

"And that second condition is also related to the blood essence in your body!"

"Oh? You say, I'll listen. ”

Seeing the light in the eyes of this magical girl flashing again and again, she felt that this guy was calculating herself again, she resisted the urge to turn around and leave, and patiently replied with such a sentence.

Because, if what Alex said is true, then her current situation is indeed very bad!

"Do you know the legendary-level powerhouses of our world, Xia, that is a very mysterious and powerful realm!" Alexie withdrew her fingers, tapped her chin, and actually kicked her little feet leisurely, and her tone seemed to carry some kind of longing: "Legendary powerhouses like the vampire prince we met, their way of existence and abilities, their mystery and power, are unimaginable to ordinary people. At least, I know about one of their more common abilities, and it happens to be related to your current situation!"

"It is said that the powerhouses of this realm have a very special understanding of their own existence, and I don't know exactly what it is, but if I put it another way, you should be able to understand. Alex looked at her and smiled slightly: "The powerful vampire prince, it can track your location through the blood essence in your body!"

"Hmph...... This kind of induction, probably like the kind of contractual connection between you and me, right? For that vampire prince, it's like a part of his body!"

Although the magical girl was smiling, she only felt a chill all over.

Because, if Alex hadn't lied, since she was able to find this little girl through the contact of the contract seal, I'm afraid, that terrifying vampire prince could also find herself in this way, right? Ten days, no, where does it take so long, with the speed and strength of that thing, it couldn't be easier to capture itself!

So, the ten-day period that this little girl said is really only a lot more?

Tut... Who are you scaring about, little girl!

She stared at Alexie's smiling face, trying to get a clue from this little girl with superb acting skills, but in the end she found nothing.

"In that case, then you dare to stay with me?"

She raised questions, apparently expressing disbelief in the remarks of this little girl.

"That's because I've already planted a spell around here that will prevent this kind of induction from spreading outside, and I'm safe!, but if you leave it now, out of its range, it won't help you......"

Alexie just grinned and casually gave the answer, as if she wasn't lying.

"Hmph, if you could really set up this kind of thing, then you should have been able to eliminate my tracking a long time ago, right?"

She thought for a moment in her heart, doubted, and questioned again.

Because, if it's really like this little girl said, how can I catch up with her?

"That's because, I didn't even think you'd be in front of me in this form, and by the time I noticed the throbbing of the contract sigil, it was too late. ”

Alexie spread her hands, seemingly helpless, and still answered fluently, and even gave the reason why she had that surprised reaction at the time.

"Cut... Even if what you say is true, I can't live in this magic you set up forever, can I?"

She gritted her teeth, as if she had chosen to believe the little girl's words for the time being.

"I can place this spell on top of your belongings, and that way, although the range is smaller, it won't affect your movement. Moreover, the Vampire Prince's sensing ability is not as strong as the contractual connection between us, it is limited by a certain distance, and as long as you do not appear within a certain range around it, it cannot sense it. ”

For this situation, Alex had clearly prepared a solution for a long time, and there was no delay in thinking about answering it.

"In that case, I can survive even if I don't rely on your magic, right?

After thinking about it, she objected again.

"What about the range? You and I don't know its range, do you want to take that risk? You know, we're still within its range for sure! And even if you manage to avoid it, do you know how to deal with the danger of the first situation?"

Alexie's eyes flickered, and he looked at her and asked in a calm tone.

"So, you said so much, just to let me stay with you as a slave?"

She is still quite sober now, and she will not be frightened into obeying this little girl because of Alexie's words, because she has already guessed the purpose of this little girl in her heart. Perhaps, these are the lies that this black-bellied little girl in front of her deliberately made up to intimidate herself!

"Hmph, Alexie, what is your true purpose, I don't believe that you, who escaped from the castle alone, would suddenly find out on your conscience and come to save my life!"

"Uh......h I'm very sad to be told like this by Xia......"

Hearing her words, Alexie showed a pitiful look again, looking at her with big eyes watery, as if she felt very aggrieved.

In this regard, her reaction was even more direct, turning her head and leaving.

“... Hmph, it's not fun!"

Alexie hurriedly shouted out to stop this guy, looking angry. Then, seeing someone's impatient expression, her expression was solemn, and she decided not to beat around the bush anymore: "Xia, I want to make a deal with you!"

"Contents?"

She was not surprised at the little girl's big face-changing technique, turned to look at the magical girl, and only said these two words.

"You promised to help me accomplish something, and I will relieve you of these hidden dangers. ”

"I refuse!"

"Hey, why don't you ask me what I want you to do?"

"Hmph, you know what it's like to be rejected without hesitation, right?" she laughed, only to feel that the depression accumulated in her heart was suddenly vented, and she felt very comfortable and happy: "Besides, do you think I will fall for you? Although it is important for me to remove hidden dangers or something, it is just a trivial matter for you, and it can be easily solved, this kind of transaction is not fair no matter how you look at it, right?"

"And what do you want?"

A magical girl jumped down from a tree branch and glared at her angrily, as if provoked by the creature's vicious revenge.

"It's very simple, as long as you are willing to promise to help me break the contract mark and help me restore my previous body, I can promise you anything!"

"Okay, the deal is open!"

“...... Huh?!"
