Chapter 69: Popular Science Knowledge About Witch Eggs

Sounds pretty powerful, equivalent to two more lives...... Hey? In that case, can this thing be used to offset the death effect of the overdraft that cannot be repaid when it expires?

Should...... No.

In order to confirm this, Summer Night read the supplementary clause-3 of the "Soul Return" contract again, which reads:

All overdrafts incurred during this period must be repaid within [30] days after the occurrence of the first overdraft, otherwise the deed holder shall be deemed to have breached the contract, and all the provisions of this supplementary clause and the contract "Soul Return" (contract number: CHZVH7XY38401116) to which it belongs will automatically become invalid.

The terms are clearly written, and in case of breach, the penalty is that the clause in the "Resurrection" contract will automatically expire, instead of killing Summer Night by causing damage.

Compulsory life insurance, on the other hand, is triggered by "suffering a fatal injury", not the death of the insured. Therefore, it is clear that if Summer Night does not repay her current overdraft on time, she will die again without being able to trigger the mandatory life insurance.

Very good and rigorous.

She had wondered why the penalty in the supplementary clause had been expressed in such an awkward way, but now it seemed that it was to circumvent this loophole.

So, which bastard wrote this clause?! If you see it yourself, you must thank him.

Since you can't escape the debt of 9885 Moor, then whaling is a must. Although it was forced, I have to admit that Luca's insurance did give her a lot more protection when she went to sea this time.

But......

"Then why does this mark have to be branded on the stomach?"

Isn't it okay somewhere else? Arms, backs, etc., I want to choose this kind of strange place......

As soon as I thought of this, Xia Ye's cheeks were slightly hot.

But for the witch, even there, it shouldn't have any strange meaning, right? Could it be that Luca just happened to be in this position?

"Because compulsory life insurance will only be effective if it is imprinted in that position." Luca replied.

This answer was completely unexpected.

"Huh...... Why? A bad feeling suddenly rose in her heart.

"Because that's where the eggs are laid, and the compulsory life insurance is effective through the eggs of the insured."

"Raw, eggy?!"

"yes, what's wrong? Why did your face suddenly turn so red? ”

"You mean...... Will I lay and lay eggs? From that...... In the stomach? Summer Night stammered and asked.

"yes, everyone lays eggs, you don't even know this, do you?"

"Well, of course I do."

Witches are asexual oviparous creatures, something that Summer Night had learned from Lilian for a long time. However, she was too embarrassed to ask for more specific details at the time, so she didn't know anything about it so far.

Like what...... How are eggs created in a witch's body? How was it born? How big are eggs? The most important thing is...... Luca said that the compulsory life insurance is effective through the egg, does it mean that she has been forced to get an egg out of her stomach?

And this is a huge pile of questions, if you want to know the answer now, you can only ask Luca in front of you.

"Then, that, can you tell me more about it......" The girl's voice was like a mosquito.

"What are you talking about?"

"That's it, that's how we laid eggs." When Summer Night said this, her face was already red as if it was about to drip blood.

But Luka just looked at her with a strange expression:

"You're obviously very powerful, but sometimes you don't even know some of the most common sense, forget it, since you want to ask, I'll tell you again.

"Normally, each witch will lay eggs 2-3 times in her life, 1-2 eggs each time, according to scholars' research, witches generally have a higher probability of laying eggs in two situations:

"One is that when one's own magic power is relatively rich, the body will think that it is a good time to produce good offspring, so it will stimulate this instinct on its own;

"The second is that when the species is seriously injured, the instinct of the species to continue itself will take effect, prompting the body to complete the laying of eggs as soon as possible.

"It takes about a week for an egg to be ready to be laid, and the egg itself only takes about half an hour to an hour to complete, and the newly laid egg is about ...... So big," Luca said, gesturing with her hands, and Summer Night glanced at it, probably slightly larger than a goose egg.

"Because the egg is rich in the magic that the egg bearer conveys to it, after birth, the egg will grow at a very fast rate, and within about half a month, it will grow to about half a meter tall. Shortly thereafter, the eggs will hatch and new witches will emerge from the eggs...... Do you have any questions? ”

"That...... Can eggs be laid by a person? "Summer Night starts by asking the questions that matter most to you.

"One person, of course."

"You don't need two people to be together...... Or, or how many people can lay eggs together? ”

This question completely confused Luca: "Why do you need several people together?" Again, this is not a commissioned task, and it takes several people to team up to complete it. Do you want to team up to lay eggs? ”

"Team up to lay eggs...... Xia Ye imagined it for a while, and felt even more weird, so she hurriedly shook her head and changed the question.

"So can we control whether we lay eggs or not?"

"This ...... I've never heard of this technique, and there might be a way for it in Uptown, but for most of us, it's not that much trouble. ”

Summer Night heard some clues from Luca's answer: "What do you do after you are born?" ”

"The law of Debussota states that every person has a natural right to the eggs he lays." Luca replied, "So, if you want to raise it yourself, you can take care of it yourself until it hatches, and no one will stop you if you want to continue to raise the witch after hatching." But most people in Downtown, and even Midtown, don't want to spend so much effort and magic, so Aether Exploration has set up a company that hatches eggs, and everyone can sell eggs to it for a sum of magic.

"In addition, there is also a business of buying and selling eggs on the black market, although it is theoretically not allowed to buy and sell privately, but 'Aether Exploration' has only turned a blind eye to this kind of behavior and has not really stopped it."

After asking so much, Summer Night finally has a concrete idea of laying eggs. It was finally confirmed that for the witch of Debussota, laying eggs did not cause any strange associations, but was just a physiological instinct that would cause a little trouble.

"So, what do you mean when you said that 'compulsory life insurance is effective through the insured'?" After going around in such a circle, she finally asked the question.

"It uses the idea that when it is seriously injured, it instinctively induces the body to lay eggs." Luca patiently explained, "Your physical insurance is actually an amalgamation of three witch contracts, consisting of a "twisted" contract, a "confusion" contract, and a high-level "structural enhancement" contract.

"The effect of the 'twisted' contract is to twist the fact that 'when you are seriously injured, your instinct causes your body to lay eggs' to 'when you are mortally injured, you will immediately lay an egg'.

"The function of the 'confusion' contract is to confuse 'the egg you laid with the egg you laid before'.

"And the 'Structural Enhancement' contract is to strengthen this egg, the egg we just laid is extremely strong in itself, and the effect of high-level 'Structural Enhancement' will eventually make this egg indestructible.

"Therefore, the final effect of the mandatory life insurance is this: when you are hit by a fatal attack, you will immediately become an egg with almost absolute protection, the egg will hatch in 10 seconds, and you will break out of the egg intact."
