"Hey, Summer Night is really bloody this time, I just don't know what method she used, Victoria will support her." Bafalia commented while watching the excitement from afar.

In the face of this kind of ridicule between the big guys, I could only nod silently, not daring to express my opinion easily.

Among the great witches in the upper city, in addition to the city lord, Victoria is the most well-known, mainly because in the early years, she worked a whole and became famous in one fell swoop.

At that time, in order to conduct so-called "adaptation research", she signed all the witch contracts she could find in Debussota - if she collected them through the power of "aether exploration", it would not make much of a difference. But this big witch has a bit of a hands-on fetish, preferring to buy it herself, and if she doesn't sell it, she will do it directly until the other party sells it - at that time, she was not famous, and no one thought that this "contract robber" was actually a big witch from the senior management of "Aether Exploration".

So, Debussota jumped for a while, and finally even Black Mask was dispatched to arrest the arrogant "contract robber" - of course, after they figured out Victoria's identity, they obediently slipped back and never appeared again.

But the turmoil didn't end there, at this time Victoria had basically collected all kinds of useful and useless contracts in the formal channels, so she set her sights on the black market, as we all know, the black market is the territory of the great witch Evelyn, and has its own set of rules - but these rules are obviously useless to Victoria, she can come and go as she wants, and do whatever she wants in it, as if the black market is her toilet.

After being in and out at will many times, Evelyn finally couldn't bear it anymore and angrily shot at Victoria - the result was of course being pressed to the ground by the latter, at that time, everyone already knew Victoria's origin, so they didn't think Evelyn was embarrassed to lose to the other party, but what the person concerned thought, it is unknown.

In short, Victoria did whatever she wanted on Evelyn's turf for a while, until she had collected all the deeds and walked away satisfied.

The turmoil finally calmed down, and about half a year later, Victoria put forward a theory about the adaptability of the witch's contract, which is said to have caused a lot of repercussions in the upper city, but ordinary people in the middle and lower cities were not very interested in it, and everyone talked about another thing - how much is all the contracts on Victoria's body worth?

There are various theories about this, and the final conclusion accepted by most people is that it is conservatively estimated that the cost of signing a contract alone will not be less than 5 million moles, and if you include the price at which the contract is bought and sold in the market, it must be more than 10 million moles......

……

And now, Victoria will pay the price of a contract with a total value of more than 10 million moles, just to ensure the success of this inexplicable experiment.

Although I don't know the specifics of the "prayer" contract, I do know the general rules. It is a contract that can fulfill a specified wish by paying a price. The cost must be borne by the contractor, and the more difficult and counterintuitive it is to fulfill, the greater the price to be paid.

- If that's all there is to it, then "prayer" would be a very useful contract. But in reality, few people are willing to use it, because "prayer" is not an "equivalent exchange" at all.

First of all, the person who wishes needs to estimate the price that needs to be paid to fulfill the wish through his own subjective judgment, if the estimate is too low, the price will be paid unconditionally after using "Wish", but the wish will not be fulfilled at all.

Therefore, in order not to let the price of their payment go to waste, the supplicant can only estimate the cost as high as possible, but this also leads to another problem: if the cost is overestimated, the excess cost will not be returned after the wish is fulfilled - as compensation, the "wish" will automatically grant the wisher one more "wish", but this wish can only be determined by the contract itself, and according to past examples, these wishes are often relatively ...... Funny.

- Forgive me for spending such a lengthy time here detailing the rules of the "Prayer" contract, but if one day my journal is going to be read by another person, then I have to make sure that the reader knows these points (in case she doesn't understand the "Prayer" contract).

Because what happened to Victoria next has a lot to do with the above.

Without further ado, when everything was ready and the accelerator was activated, Victoria stood on the side of the venue and softly recited the witch syllable of "Prayer".

The wind suddenly blew at the scene, and then the ground began to tremble, and everyone was a little overwhelmed for a while—it was clear that there would be no movement when the "prayer" was used. Suddenly, someone pointed at Victoria and exclaimed.

I hurriedly looked at her, and on her tall body, there was a pure white light, and the light pierced through the skirt of her dress one by one, becoming more and more intense, and soon tore it into rags.

The light dimmed, but then, on the fair and smooth skin, black runes with different patterns appeared one after another, they were all witch contracts signed by Victoria, usually hidden by the power of the "beautification" contract - "beautification" is a contract commonly used by the big witches in the upper city, and they often sign a lot of contracts, if they don't use "beautification", the whole body will be occupied by the rune pattern of the contract - it is too unsightly.

But now, Victoria's "beautification" has worn off, and I can even see the runes representing it appear on her body, and then, like paper lit by fire, quickly turn to ashes, drifting and disappearing from that skin.

The same goes for the runes of the other contracts, all of which turn to ashes and float away from Victoria's body, and then, on the piece of skin where they have made place, new contracts emerge and then turn to ashes as well......

It went on like this for a while, and finally no new runes appeared on Victoria's body—all the contracts were paid for by her. And then it's time to reveal whether the wish will come true.

Everyone's expressions were a little nervous, including Victoria herself, after all, it was a contract worth more than 10 million moles, and if it was lost, even for a big witch like her, it would be a huge loss.

There was silence in the air, and suddenly, something inexplicable swept by, and everything in front of me had not changed, but I suddenly felt that this experiment would be a success.

The other people obviously felt the same way in their hearts, and when they looked at each other and saw similar expressions in the eyes of others, they immediately understood something.

"Did it work......?"

"Did you succeed?"

"It should have been a success."

Everyone said something similar, and then a smile appeared on their faces, and although they couldn't say why, everyone knew that Victoria's "prayer" had succeeded!

Just as cheers were brewing in the crowd and about to erupt, Victoria's body was suddenly enveloped in light again.

People turned their heads in surprise and looked at her.

This time it was no longer pure white light, but a brilliant and somewhat exaggerated rainbow of light, and when the light dissipated, we were surprised to find that Victoria had become a different person!

No...... It was still Victoria, but she had changed from a tall, curvaceous, and charming mature woman to a petite, barren chest, and a cute girl with a young face, and she was no longer naked - the girl was wearing an emerald green Lolita-style dress, and her slender calves were wrapped in lovely pure white stockings.

Victoria was apparently surprised by this change, and she didn't even realize the change in herself at first, until she noticed that everyone was looking at her in surprise, and then she looked down at herself, and then she froze.

In this awkward silence, the bizarre happened again - a huge crack with brilliant colors suddenly opened in mid-air, and a giant scissors with a length of more than 100 meters fell from the crack, and with a loud bang, the narrow scissor blade plunged deep into the ground beside Victoria......

The scene was suddenly a little chaotic, and people were talking nonsense. Soon, however, Summernight, Victoria, and Bafaria, the three highest-ranking witches, gathered together and began to discuss, and the crowd fell silent, looking at them with curiosity.

After a while, Bafalia took the lead and walked back.

"Do you want to know what's going on?" She said to me mysteriously with a smile on her face.

I quickly nodded.

"Hey...... For the sake of our relationship, I can tell you, but don't tell anyone else. Bafalia's mouth didn't move, but her voice rang in my ears.

I nodded vigorously again, indicating that I wasn't the kind of person with a loose mouth.

"Victoria's 'prayer' was indeed a success, but, but, but...... The price required to fulfill her wish could not be smaller, which means that even if she didn't make a wish, this 'head-to-head' experiment would have been a success! Hahahaha......"

Bafalia "said" this, the smile on her face could not be hidden, I know why she is so proud, after all, this "no one before or since" head accelerator was designed by her.

"And then?" I asked in the smallest of voices.

"And then? She also knows the rules of the 'prayer' contract, and since her wish is far from having to pay such a large price, then the remaining ones, the contract will arbitrarily grant her another wish as compensation. Badelia couldn't help but laugh gloatingly at this.

"And what wish was she granted?" I asked curiously.

"Her 'sartorial power' has been increased by a factor of 100! Doesn't she usually like to make all kinds of weird clothes by herself? So this wish is not completely useless...... Poof~~Haha, hahahaha......"
