Chapter 9: The Fish Is Hooked
However, one is the force ceiling of the Harry Potter world, and the other is the protagonist of the Harry Potter world.
Do you really have the ability to get the souls of both of them?
Carl was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but want to slap himself.
He found that he seemed to have terrible thoughts all the time today, which had not occurred in his previous life, or in the last ten years.
Am I such a person? Karl thought.
Dumbledore, Harry Potter is indeed not his childhood, but these two names undoubtedly represent the side of justice, they must be "good people" and are bound to save countless people.
I even wanted to take the lives of these two people!
Not to mention······
Even if they are not good people, they are two innocent lives, and what power can they have to take away two fresh lives?
How could I have such a terrible thought!
Karl stared at Polo's happy smile, and he felt that he must have been influenced by Polo for his continuous reduction of moral bottom line today.
But then another name came to him.
"So, what about that person?"
"Who?" Polo was a little confused.
"You don't know?" Karl's expression moved slightly. "I thought you knew everything."
"If you're referring to the things of this world, then I'm only a little better than you."
"The world has its belongings, and I like to run to other people's territory. If it weren't for your scent wafting to my nose······"
"Before meeting you, I spent a few days roaming the world and learning a little bit about it." Polo was calm. "Of course, by the way, I also took care of the formalities for adopting you and the necessary wealth."
"Then have you ever heard of that name, they call him Mystery, and his real name is Lord Voldemort."
"The failed Dark Lord?" Polo raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Isn't he dead?" ”
Polo's words put Karl at ease, at least it showed that Polo didn't know everything, but he decided to test it out: "In the world before me, have you been to the world before me?" ”
Polo shook his head: "Each of us has our own territory, your world coordinates, I have traded to another devil, and that is its territory." ”
Carl was completely relieved: "In my world, there is a book called Harry Potter. There's a Hogwarts there, and the headmaster of Hogwarts is Dumbledore. ”
"So you think you're living in a world of books?" Polo did not refute this conclusion, "It is not impossible, the worlds are connected to each other, and when they intersect or echo each other, there are always some people who can receive information from the other world, and some of them take it as inspiration, and some of them take it as a dream." ”
"So, the real situation is not that you live in a world of books, but that someone has taken the message of this world and written a book." Polo concluded.
"Whatever it is, I haven't read the novel, but I know it's about a man named Harry Potter who defeats the resurrected villain Voldemort and saves the wizarding world."
"Harry Potter? That's a thunderous name. ”
Polo became interested in this information.
"I thought he had reached the pinnacle of his accomplishments, but I didn't expect him to be a savior in the future? So, he's the protagonist of the story for the next decade? ”
Carl felt himself see a hint of excited greed in Polo's eyes.
He felt that he might have drawn the future savior into a vortex that he shouldn't have been involved in, but now was not the time to dwell on it: "So, what about that man's soul?" ”
Voldemort is a doomed villain, and if his soul can be offset, Carl feels that he has no psychological burden.
"Absolutely!" Polo held out his hand, "So the deal is set?" ”
Karl looked at Polo's outstretched hand.
"It's normal." Polo's face was calm, "In this world, only contracts can be trusted. All words, all trust, all feelings are nothing more than a castle on the beach, which disappears with the slightest push of the waves. ”
This is the devil's three views?
Karl was unsure that he himself did not approve of Polo's idea.
If that's the case, why should you try to save your parents?
But that didn't stop him from reaching out his hand.
"I want to be able to learn magic." Karl added, "You know, Voldemort is powerful. If I studied normally, I was no match for him. ”
He always wanted someone to teach him magic and help him grow quickly.
This desire grows stronger after Polo reveals what is hidden in his heart.
Polo blinked: "I can only teach you what I know, the magic of this world. If you want to learn about the devil, or other magic, then we can discuss it additionally. ”
"What do you mean by additional discussion?" Karl asked, confused.
"It's hard to say, it depends on what you're going to learn, there's always a price for something."
That is, to add money?
Price?
Karl suddenly became curious: "Does this include yourself?" ”
"Me? My soul? The smile on Polo's face grew brighter, "Of course I have the price, otherwise how could I be the devil?" Want to know my price? ”
A chill welled up in his heart, and Karl wisely avoided the question.
"The deal is open."
Two cold hands clasped together.
At this moment, Carl suddenly realized that something was more in his mind.
After looking closely, he realized that this was the content of the contract.
The content is roughly the same as the content of the communication between them: Karl wants to give the complete soul of Voldemort after the resurrection to Polo in exchange for the ownership of his parents' souls, and Polo's promise not to take revenge on Karl afterwards.
In order to accomplish the above tasks, Karl will receive appropriate help from Polo, including appropriate guidance, protection, and props, which Polo will decide, and ultimately ensure that Karl has the appropriate combat abilities until Voldemort is resurrected. This includes, but is not limited to: the ability to save lives, the ability to fight back, and the ability to potentially kill.
The agreement between the two parties shall take effect immediately and shall be terminated upon the final confirmation of the attribution of Voldemort's soul.
If changes are required, they need to be reviewed and agreed to by Okono Polo.
Of course, as with all contracts, the final interpretation belongs to Okono Polo.
If this only made Carl feel that he saw the overlord clause, then the liquidated damages clause made Carl can't help but glared at Polo.
The Price of Default: Karl's soul will belong to Oknor Polo.
"You never said ······" Carl suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth.
For he had discovered the relevant clause in the contract: they must treat each other calmly and shall not attack each other, and those who violate it will be regarded as a breach of contract.
"You never asked?!" Bolona raised his hands in surprise. "There are always liquidated damages in the contract, right? Otherwise, how would the liquidated damages for your parents' trading contract come from? ”
"And your breach of contract?"
"How can you underestimate my morality?!" Polo seemed to feel greatly offended, "No devil will break the contract, order is the foundation of our existence!" ”
Is the morality of a devil worth believing?!
Okono Polo, is a devil.
Once again, Carl was deeply aware of this, and he could only accept reality by constantly taking deep breaths.
"I hope you'll really keep the promise."
This is the cry of the weak.
Polo put away his smile, solemnly, stood up with a face, and bowed to his chest.
"You're going to be a powerful wizard, Carl."
This is the calmness of the strong.
For the next fifteen days, Polo did faithfully fulfill his promise, even giving up the habit of going out every day to have fun.
Specifically, Polo first read all the textbooks, and then took Carl through the previous ones, focusing on the gestures of casting spells and the recitation of spells.
As for other things, such as The Theory of Magic, Polo put it on the shelf and left it to Carl to learn on his own.
"I can't say it's all right, but if I tell you what's wrong." Polo said to Karl, "Then there is other knowledge involved. ”
There is no doubt that that knowledge is not in the scope of Polo's deal with Karl.
To Carl's relief, he was indeed a powerful talent, and those simple spells could basically be learned in a few times, and the only slightly difficult transfiguration technique could at least turn matches into needles.
As for The Theory of Magic?
After falling asleep while reading its prologue for the third time, Karl also chose to put it on the shelf.
This book is just like Ma Zhe in his previous life, a very good and useful opposite, with the same boring and difficult.
However, after receiving the Weasley owl, Polo stopped teaching.
Although this was the work of Headmaster Dumbledore, Karl had reason to suspect that he was making excuses for his ability to free himself from the job of attending classes.
Proof of this is that after Polo wrote his reply, he asked George to pack his suitcases and start planning a trip around the world.
In his words, he is going to take advantage of Carl's time in school to conduct a new investigation of the mysterious side of the world, in order to assess the possible dangers that Carl will encounter on the mysterious side.
If it weren't for the fact that the first stop was Japan, Carl would have really believed him.
Carl really couldn't imagine how the mystery of Japan could hurt an English boy on the other side of the world?
Do you rely on special industries?
But when he thinks about what time this year is, Karl is full of understanding of Polo's choice.
If there is a place in this world where there are the most gathered, souls full of strong emotions.
It must be the last Japan of the bubble era - among the drunken gold fans, the last madness is playing out.
Thinking of the bubble bursting two years later, Carl believes that Polo will be able to reap the rewards this time.
In any case, Carl will eventually have to accept the final reality.
