Chapter 12 The Life-Sharing Contract
The rain was still falling, and Roger found a cave nearby and stopped.
The gray mouse that had been locked in a metal cage had been released by him, and was now standing firmly on his shoulder, holding his chin with one paw, thinking.
"Are you sure this is possible, Ash?" Roger was still a little uneasy about the plan proposed by the gray mouse.
"Please call me Lord Roddick. The gray mouse muttered dissatisfiedly, crossed his waist and said, "You don't have to ask again, there will be no problem...... You must know that my 'master' said that I am her witch pet, but this is not nonsense, because my current body was originally a strange witch beast in this world-dimensional rat, with the ability to move through the void and cut through the dimension, if it wasn't for the ban she laid down, how could a few wizard apprentices catch me?"
"But what does it have to do with what we're doing now. ”
"Of course it matters, the reason why you can sense me through this simple alchemy witchcraft is because of the natural contract between me and her, that is, as long as the contract can be eliminated, even she herself can't sense me casually, this is one of them. ”
"Second, what we want to establish now is the 'life sharing contract' with the highest priority among all contracts, not only life sharing, but also spiritual sea. The gray mouse gestured with his small hand and explained: "Ordinary wizards will not easily establish this contract with other creatures, because it means that the life span is evenly shared, and it will be twice as difficult as other wizards when they advance in the future, but for you, no matter how difficult it is, it is better than no spiritual sea, right? ”
"I see. ”
Roger is not indecisive, and the reason why he asks questions is only because he does not fully understand the principle of the plan that the gray mouse is talking about, and as for the risks......
"What could be worse than dying? "Roger is still angry about his lack of wizarding talent, and he has always been afraid of risk?
"What should I do. ”
The gray mouse stretched out its paws, placed it on the side of Roger's ear, and said: "The 'Life Sharing Contract' was completed under the witness of the will of the world, and the specific operation will be left to me, but after a while, whether you agree to establish a contract will automatically appear in your mind, and you and I must be willing to successfully establish it." ”
Roger nodded in understanding.
Seeing this, the gray mouse didn't say much, closed his eyes and began to read silently in his mouth.
At first, nothing was out of the ordinary, except for the sound of rain outside the cave, nothing happened, which made Roger wonder if something was wrong with the gray mice.
But soon he didn't think so.
Because with the incessant silent thoughts of the gray mouse, an inexplicable feeling appeared in his heart, which was indescribable, if I had to describe, it was like the feeling of being held tightly by a terrifying creature, and under this feeling it became very difficult for him to even move.
"Don't worry, this is a manifestation of the will of the world, and it will disappear when the contract is established. The voice of the gray mouse came to his mind.
Roger wanted to nod, but couldn't move, so he blinked his eyes to show that he understood.
After a while, when the feeling of being stared at rose to a certain limit, a mysterious thought suddenly appeared in Roger's mind.
The meaning conveyed by this idea is exactly what the gray mouse calls the 'life sharing contract'.
"I agree. Roger replied silently in his mind.
In the moment after he uttered this thought, there was a sudden connection between him and the gray mouse, and not only that, but he clearly sensed some kind of metamorphosis on his eyebrows.
"Whew-" The gray mouse breathed a sigh of relief.
Feeling the feeling of being stared at disappeared, Roger also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the gray mouse on his shoulder and said, "You also feel that kind of pressure?"
"Nonsense, the will of any world is extremely strong, let alone this perverted world, fortunately, this is only a contract, and the manifestation of the will of the world is still relatively soft. The gray mouse patted his chest, looking tired to death.
"This, that's all right?" Roger touched his forehead, a little incredulous.
It's too fast!
"Of course, how complicated do you think. The gray mouse looked at Roger with the eyes of you are a dirt bun and said: "Your spiritual sea has been opened, and the specific level still needs to be tested, and I can't know, I don't know these basic systems of wizards." ”
"Then you shouldn't be able to be tracked, right?"
"This ...... I'm not so sure, but I can only say that these alchemical tools she gave you will definitely not be able to sense my breath anymore, but if she herself appears around me, it is still possible to sense me. Gray Mouse said with some uncertainty, "Although the life sharing contract is the highest priority contract, and theoretically it can override all other contracts, but her strength is too strong, even a simple witch pet contract cannot be erased so easily." ”
"But don't worry, it's impossible for her body to come to me everywhere, I'm not worth her wasted so much effort, as long as I don't happen to be bumped into by her doppelganger, she can't find me, this world is so big, we are not so unlucky. The gray mouse reassured.
"I hope so. "Roger felt like he was on a thief ship.
"However, the continent we are in now must not be able to stay any longer, she had already sensed my existence through the witch pet contract, and I didn't expect this when I was just trying to escape. ”
"You mean...... Someone will force their way down?" Roger suddenly thought of a possibility.
The reason why the task of capturing the gray mice this time was handed over to the wizard apprentices who were originally born in the continent was because if people from other places wanted to cross the barrier and descend, it would cost too much, and even if they did, they would not be able to stay for too long, so it was not cost-effective.
This is also the reason why there is not a single official wizard on the continent.
But the price is high, but it doesn't mean that there is no way to come.
If the owner of the Grey Mouse found out that it hadn't been caught, or had learned from the others that Roger had snatched it but hadn't brought it to her, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't spend some price to have an official wizard descend on the continent, and at that point, Roger would be too late to run.
"No, what if I'm gone, Oliver?" Roger frowned.
"Who's that?" the gray mouse asked rhetorically.
After Roger explained what had happened, the gray mouse thought for a moment and then muttered, "The best thing to do is for you to leave without saying anything to him, so that he doesn't know why you disappeared...... Although my master is unscrupulous to us outsiders, he is not so exaggerated to the people of this world itself, and will not deliberately embarrass your friend because of some clueless things. ”
"But......" Roger was still a little worried about the safety of his sworn friend.
"Don't, if you don't leave, once you are caught, it will be more likely to involve him, and once you leave, at least no one will find out that you are also an outsider. ”
Only then did Roger remember that his identity did not seem to be very glorious in front of the owner of the gray mouse, so he had to say in a deep voice: "That's all it can be." ”
