"Looks like someone has caught a new bird."

The next morning at breakfast, Peggy and Locke sat at the table, and Vanessa, who had been tired all night until the wee hours of the morning, was still asleep in her room, and Peggy knew what was going on.

Regarding Locke's scumbag's behavior, Peggy has made a set of theories about raising birds, and Locke likes beautiful birds and will catch them in nature.

But he respects the nature of birds, and if he doesn't like stability, he will give each other freedom, and if it is suitable, he will take it home and raise it, and give the birds beautiful cages and rich food.

If these domestic birds yearn for nature for a long time, Locke will also release them.

"There is no such thing as capture, it's just that everyone has the same temperament, and everything happens naturally." Locke didn't know about the theory that Peggy had summarized in private, so he changed the subject and said:

"I'm going back to New York soon, so let's go out for a walk today and prepare some gifts for my friends in New York."

"Including the owner of the antique shop, Balthazar?"

Peggy's sudden words made Locke slightly stunned.

"Do you remember?"

"If it was that antique shop when you made a deal with Balthazar and learned about magic, you would indeed remember it."

Peggy replied in the affirmative:

"If it weren't for my own experience, I didn't expect that there is magic in this scientific world, no wonder the books you wrote have something to do with magic."

"Wait a minute."

Locke didn't expect such a thing to happen, and his mind was a little messy for a while.

Originally, he thought that Balthazar had erased Peggy's memory, but he didn't expect Balthazar to worry about affecting Peggy's brain, so he only temporarily sealed that memory.

This is not a mistake in the first place, after all, the memory of more than two years ago will soon be forgotten in the depths of the mind of the average child.

But as a genius girl, Peggy, like Sheldon Jr., has the ability to view high-definition picture pictures.

As long as little Sheldon can remember the barbecue recipe that his grandmother teased him when he was two years old, Peggy can naturally recall what happened in the antique shop after the seal disappears.

"You don't want to do magic again, let me forget about it." Peggy looked pitiful.

"Magic related to brain memory is very dangerous, and a careless mistake may cause irreversible damage, so naturally I won't use it on you."

Locke frowned, looked at Peggy, and said in a serious tone: "But the existence of magicians has always been a secret, and you must not leak it, otherwise it will cause great trouble." ”

"Of course I do." Listening to Locke's words, Peggy smiled: "I'm not Sheldon who can't keep a secret at all, but I prefer this secret to be our common secret." ”

"You want to learn magic too?" Locke instantly understood Peggy's thoughts.

"I'd also like to see the power of magic, which should be able to do many things that science can't do today."

There was a curious look in Peggy's eyes.

Without answering immediately, Locke beckoned to Peggy, waited for her to come and sit down beside him, put his hand around her shoulder, looked down into Peggy's eyes, and said:

"I can promise to teach you magic, but you need to sign a contract with me, a mandatory soul contract that will bind your actions and make it impossible for you to resist any of my commands.

But if you just promise to keep it secret, you just need to sign a secret magic contract with me. ”

After getting along for so long, Locke still has more confidence in Peggy, but he knows that people's hearts are fickle, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.

Unlike Vanessa or Damon's father and daughter, they know some of Locke's secrets, and even if they leak out, it won't cause much trouble to Locke now.

Because of Locke's current connections and energy, apart from their own testimony, they have no evidence at all, and they will not bring any influence.

But if the fact that Locke has magic leaked out, it would be different, especially since the power of magic in the magician's apprentice is extremely special and can make people immortal.

As long as this news spreads, even if Locke has more connections and energy, he will be extremely vulnerable under the covetousness of the upper echelons of the entire society.

It's in Locke's core interest, so he won't allow any surprises.

Hearing Locke say this, Peggy's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Before the showdown, she had thought about Locke's reaction, and she was sure enough that Locke would not be able to hurt herself, and at the same time, she was extremely curious about the existence of magic, so she also wanted to see it.

In fact, she didn't guess wrong, if it was just a secret, Locke's request was quite reasonable.

But Peggy didn't expect Locke to be so cautious about the spread of magic, and if he wanted to learn, he would have to sign such a strict contract.

Peggy would not doubt the effect of the contract that Locke said, once signed, it would mean that her future fate would be in Locke's hands.

This caused some hesitation in Peggy's heart, and then she thought of her parents and looked at Locke again.

It didn't take long for her to laugh and tease Locke, "Then should I call you a teacher in the future?" ”

"It's up to you what you want to call it." Locke exhaled, waved his hand, and a magical contract appeared in front of him: "If you make up your mind, sign your name on it." ”

Peggy read the deed carefully, bit her lip, and finally signed her name on it.

The next moment, the contract dissipated into the void, and Peggy also felt an extra constraint in her mind, she smiled and said to Locke, "Then you can teach me magic now." ”

"Don't worry, think about it carefully in the next two days, I'll give you three months, if you change your mind, I can also abolish this contract and sign a new confidential contract with you.

After three months, if you're sure you don't change your mind, I'll teach you the core meditation first. ”

Peggy pouted, Peggy was a little depressed, but she quickly felt that Locke really valued herself by doing this, which made her happy again.

At this moment, she suddenly had a different understanding of this soul contract, and felt that it was proof that she and Locke were soul mates.

Locke didn't know that Peggy would come up with this idea at this moment, and it could only be said that geniuses have their own paranoia, and their thoughts and behaviors are different from ordinary people.

Peggy herself tends to be precocious, but she has not yet fully established her own three views.

has just experienced a great change in the family, which has caused her to have some psychological problems, and the child's senses are very keen, and she has unconsciously become extremely dependent on Locke, who has been taking care of her and can understand her.

Locke didn't have a deliberate PUA, but in terms of results, it was no different, and it could only be said that it was unintentional.
