Chapter 267: Third-Party Overseers
As for the vague suspicion of the gypsy witch, the black cat will naturally try his best to deny it. But as soon as he shook his head twice, he suddenly realized that his current identity should not be known to anyone, why should he deny it?
So after shaking his head from side to side, he paused, and then shook up and down twice with very exaggerated movements, as if he was just observing the environment in all directions. While shaking, he also said in a nervous tone: "Why do I feel that a black shadow has just crossed the corner of my eye?"
The sincerity of his attitude made him believe in it.
The corners of Yelena's mouth twitched.
As the leader of the exploration team, after Colma heard the black cat's warning, he took out a scout charm very responsibly and lit it with shaking his hand. A gentle wave of magic spread in all directions, and soon the magic feedback showed that everything was normal around them.
"Maybe you're dazzled. Colmar judged.
"I'm sorry to let you waste a rune paper. The black cat sincerely expressed his apologies. Colmar waved his hand in disapproval.
Compared to the black cat's slightly exaggerated reaction, Jiang Yu's performance was calm.
She didn't answer the gypsy witch's question, but took the opportunity of the black cat shaking its head up and down, left and right, and glanced upward. Then she saw the wonderful sight of the sun dancing with the moon in the sky, and the moon, which was as big as a wheel and much bigger than the sun.
"Wow," the red-masked witch's eyes showed a hint of confusion, and her voice was full of admiration, "You never told me that there was such a magical scenery in this secret place...... I never said the moon was so big here!"
Before the words fell, the jade stone twisted on a multicolored silk on the witch's wrist emitted a green light and disappeared in a flash.
Jiang Yu immediately came back to his senses and looked at Yelena with a sideways face: "And you didn't tell me that the moon here still has the effect of confusing the heart." ”
"Confusion? No, it's not just confusion. The gypsy witch refocused her gaze on the crystal ball in front of her, and explained in a flat tone, "But it doesn't matter, as long as we don't look up at it, it won't interfere with our mission in any way...... I've already divined this. As for why I didn't tell you, it's because before today, I didn't know it would turn out like this. ”
"That's true. Colmar chimed in.
As she spoke, a tarot card suddenly fell off the track of the cards that surrounded Elena, fell down, and smashed into the black cat's body. The black cat turned his head and glanced at him, and the card that fell on him was the Hangman, on which a man lying on a wooden frame was cross-legged, and his head hanging to the ground was like an energized light bulb, shining in the sun.
This person looks ugly, which is the first reaction of the black cat.
Why did it fall on me?
The second thought swirled in the black cat's mind, and she raised her head and looked at the gypsy witch suspiciously, wondering if she knew something and was taking revenge on herself. This made him quietly clamp his tail.
"What do you mean?" asked the black cat in a gruff voice, trying to make himself look more reasonable.
Elena was stunned for a moment before leaning over to pick up the tarot card, then looked at the face of the hanged man and fell silent. In most books on tarot card reading, the hanged man is always associated with 'sacrifice'. Just like the chariot is with 'success', and the star is like 'hope'.
It's not a good card in terms of the situation at hand.
"A little mistake. The gypsy witch took the card back lightly, then glanced at the black cat: "Anyway, you don't have anything to do today, go back, don't make a mess here." ”
Am I being banished?
Before he could figure out how to answer Elena's words, the new witch in the red mask suddenly spoke, interrupting his train of thought.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're planning to let this black cat be the 'third party', right?" Jiang Yu took out a roll of parchment from his handbag and shook it in front of Yelena: "If it's gone, who will be the third party between us?"
The black cat glanced at the two witches in surprise - Elena wanted to be the third party between the two of them, and always felt that this word and usage were a little subtle.
The gypsy witch obviously ignored this matter, and was stunned for a few seconds before slowly nodding: "Yes." ”
"If you think it's risky, then we have a chance to stop. Otherwise, what you've just done is just covering your ears and stealing the bell. Jiang Yu's tone seemed a little unpolite.
Colmar stopped the quill in her hand and gave Yelena a worried look.
The black cat finally couldn't help it and interrupted the slightly angry conversation between the two witches.
"Excuse me," he asked, raising one paw and weakly, "can anyone explain to me, what third party, what do you mean you want me to be third?"
The witch in the red mask and the white mask looked at the black cat in unison, and both eyes flashed with inexplicable color. For a while, no one opened their mouths to answer the black cat's question.
Colmar couldn't hold back, and explained simply: "Our magic ritual requires the use of spirit witch blood, and this classmate can provide us with relevant materials, but for the safety of the provider, she asks to supervise the use of blood throughout the process......"
"In order to ensure that both parties are able to fulfill the agreement, we have signed a magical contract. "Because the terms of the contract are drafted by us, it may put unequal pressure on the other party to some extent. Therefore, we have arranged a 'third-party supervisor' in the contract to monitor the performance of the relevant clauses. ”
"For now, you are the only 'third-party overseer' that is acceptable to both of us. Jiang Yu concluded.
"Third-party supervision?me?" the black cat's expression distorted slightly, "Why do you think I can take on this role? When you first found me, I was in the Silent Forest, hey! What if I was a monster with bad intentions?!"
He had a vague suspicion of terrible doubts.
He didn't believe in those clay wooden tires anymore - after the practical class yesterday afternoon, because he was not injured, Zheng Qing took advantage of the early days to sneak to the pyramid of Atlas and very devoutly incense all the gods and Buddhas he saw. Pray that they will bless them with all the best for today.
But as things stand, he doesn't feel safe at all, and things are not going well.
Jiang Yu and Yelena glanced at each other tacitly, but neither answered the confusion in the black cat's heart.
Kormar, on the other hand, impatiently ripped open the parchment contract, dragged it over the black cat's paws, wiped it with ink, and then pressed it straight into the blank space of the parchment, and stepped on it twice, leaving a bright red paw print.
The black cat felt its claws pull out the cold.
Three heads
