William wiped the saliva off his face with his big hand, pointed to a certain word on it with his finger, and said confidently, "Lao Tzu still knows a few words!"

"For the sake of the plum...... For the Lord's sake, let him read to you which of your men is literate......" Alan took a deep breath to calm himself down and suggested to the other party.

In fact, apart from Armand Malfoy, the wizard, there was probably no one else present who had time to read or write.

"Wizard, Lao Tzu needs the help of the man kneeling over there, and here Sir Malfoy is literate. William turned to Armand Malfoy, the only person on the ship who could hear and see them, for help, even though the bastard's current posture was much disdainful to the bastard duke.

"It is incumbent upon you, Lord Duke. Armand Malfoy glanced at Allen quietly, ignoring their movements and conversations, and he settled down and walked over to William.

Malfoy took the contract from William's hand, first glanced at the contents of the contract paper on one side, and then, as if relieved, slowly read the contents of the contract paper to William in an aristocratic tone, as if he were reciting poetry.

Hearing what Malfoy said, William breathed a sigh of relief, if he only traded a large piece of barren land that did not belong to him for his fleet and victory, such a condition was completely acceptable.

William nodded involuntarily, but then the greed in his heart made him alive again, and after realizing Allen's intentions, the Duke of Normandy understood the mind of the wizard in front of him, as long as he didn't go too far, he wouldn't kill himself:" No, you just want to exchange such a large piece of land by sending Lao Tzu back to the place where he should have landed and some news that I can get after I land, you pay too little, you have to help me kill Harold on the battlefield, and Lao Tzu will admit the ownership of the land you want, as long as you help me kill Harold!"

"Lord Duke, ...... you" Armand Malfoy couldn't help but want to give advice to the Duke, but was interrupted by the other party with a wave of his hand.

Malfoy felt like he was going crazy, his supporter, the Muggle Grand Duke of Normandy, was so bold that he didn't immediately agree to the wizard's request and even dared to talk to him about any conditions! And just now the wizard confirmed that Harold's side didn't look like a wizard, and this kind of task could have been left to this William to complete after the other party left, so that he could earn this credit......

"Oh, that's a bit unfair, but I'm in a good mood today and promise you that if you can't solve your opponent on the battlefield, I'll help you solve it. Alan raised an eyebrow at the Duke in front of him who dared to make a request to him at such a time, and then he casually summoned a sharp arrow from the quiver of one of William's men, and engraved an omniscient mark on it, "When the time comes, if your own army is incompetent, I will use this arrow to kill Harold." ”

Then, the contract that was in Malfoy's possession flew back to Alan, who used a quill to add the condition at the end and then returned it to Malfoy, "Ask your men to confirm the new terms one last time, and give you a word of advice, my patience is limited." ”

Malfoy nodded at Alan with some flattery, and quickly read out that it was only the new clause written in Latin on the contract paper, the text that he recognized, but the border and the mysterious stripes on the contract paper were just decorations in his eyes, so he was not aware that the stripes had changed from the first time he read them, and he ignored them.

Finally, the paper contract and a quill flew in front of William, who nodded in confirmation, and the python loosened its coiled body, allowing William's hands to break free from it.

William's hand shook and loosened, loose and gripped, large drops of sweat dripping from his forehead, and finally he reached out, grabbed the quill, and signed his full name on this contract with a mysterious special pattern—the only text he could make sure he could not make mistakes, for which he had spent a great deal of time practicing.

After signing it, the contract automatically flew back to Allen, and the young wizard looked at the signature on the contract, nodded in satisfaction, and then signed his full name as well, and then put it in his raven's pocket.

At the moment when Alan finished signing, the power of the contract made William understand all the hidden terms of Allen's contract paper, his slightly puzzled face became extremely frightened and ugly, he felt that he was being teased, his eyes burned with anger, his lips were pursed tightly, he wanted to scold, but he had to force him in his stomach.

"You signed it for sure, and I didn't force you. Alan explained with a nonchalant expression, "Next time, you should understand not to talk about any conditions with an opponent you can't fight against at all. ”

The other party is not a wizard, and Alan does not want to make an unbreakable oath with the other party that can only last a generation, he intends to use the method of the devil's contract to let the hellish forces of strong order ensure that William and his heirs must abide by this rule, and as - let him, the illiterate dog, still pretend to look at such a contract for half a day, waste time and talk about conditions in retaliation, Alan finally changed the patterns and decorations with a little punishment, turning them into additional terms written in a special language.

As a hell that values law and contracts, Alan can't force William to sign the devil's contract, otherwise he won't be recognized by the forces of hell - but the evil part of hell other than observance encourages this kind of trick, and when he first obtained those collections from the Black family, Alan knew that someone in the Black family had also stepped on this trap and signed a pact to sell himself to the bone.

"So—goodbye, William. Alan bowed slightly to William and Armand, and then suddenly remembered something, and waved his hand to make the sea water suddenly gush out and pour the Duke and the wizard he had raised, "You're welcome, remember to say that you swam here." ”

William and Malfoy, who were dripping with water, dared not speak in anger at the powerful and mysterious Allen, but after the bastard duke finally stepped into the shadows and left, he let himself glance at Malfoy, who had also become a soup chicken, his eyes were full of complaints and complaints, and he couldn't help but complain: "He is teasing Lao Tzu! You actually didn't tell Lao Tzu the hidden terms? Lao Tzu will have to pay him a duke title, and he has to recognize his independence!"

Armand Malfoy, who felt embarrassed today, was also very annoyed, how did he know that those special stripes and mysterious border decorations were actually hidden contract terms! And at the same time, he was also a little annoyed that the Muggle Duke in front of him, who had always respected him, was now treating him, even if he was about to become a king, but he was still a Muggle!

It's just that William's subordinates still have other wizards, and the other party has been divided into different factions intentionally or unintentionally, and the Malfoy family needs the support of the other party, and they can't directly use the Imperius Curse on him that will soon be detected by other wizards.

So, although he scolded the Muggle in front of him for not knowing how to lift up and disrespecting himself as a wizard, on the surface he swallowed his anger - it was all worth it for the sake of the big picture, for the future of Malfoy's family, Armand told himself.

Still, there was some impatience in his voice. He persuaded in a deep voice: "Lord Duke, this is not bad, at least he is willing to lie to us, instead of directly and brutally controlling us with a spell, believe me, this is easy for an existence like him, I solemnly suggest you, Lord Duke, we had better agree to his conditions when he is still willing to negotiate with us......"

William kept his mouth shut, as a Muggle Duke with many wizards, of course he knew that the Imperius Curse existed, in fact, the reason why he had kept so many wizards and sowed discord between them was to prevent himself from being controlled by some greedy wizard.

After a few minutes, the python that had been entrenched on William's body finally quickly regained its original form, and fell to the board with a clang, and the guards around William looked over and looked at their leader with concern—and then found that Sir Malfoy, who had been mysterious next to his lord, had stood on the deck at some point, and the two of them were still covered as if they had been slapped by the waves.

"Look at what? I'm swimming here!" Malfoy was annoyed by the Muggle guards, but without a wand, he didn't even need to clean it up.

"Look at what, Lao Tzu fished him up!" William, the Grand Duke of Normandy, did not pay attention to his men's inquiries, he leaned down and picked up his sword, inserted it into the sheath to hide his expression, and when he stood up again, his fleet suddenly appeared in the eyes of everyone again.

He frowned, opened his mouth slightly, narrowed his eyes, looked at his own fleet that appeared in the morning light, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm scared to death." ”
