Lulunaka clapped her hands happily after hearing Padding's words, completely ignoring the fact that she was yelled at by Padding. "Oh, you answered so quickly, Knight Edgar.
I knew you were a generous and noble knight. Thank you so much. "
After Padding finished his words, his aura weakened a little. He placed the cross sword in his hand flat on the ground and changed from a half-kneeling position to a kneeling position.
He closed his eyes and did not look up at Lulunaka again. It seemed that he had already lowered his head.
Everyone present was surprised by the development of the situation.
Olga did not expect that Padding would really lower his head and use his dignity as a knight in exchange for the life of the Church's knight beside him.
This was not something to be taken lightly. Since he had made a promise, then Lulunaka should have a way to ensure that he kept his promise.
Olga remembered what Padding said before.
During the confrontation, Padding had emphasized more than once that this was a job and that he had to complete it.
Was this also a promise that he made to someone, and a promise that he could not refuse?
Olga did not dare to think about who the mastermind was that could make a Silver-tier knight do such a dishonorable thing, and why would they want to kill a harmless and pitiful girl, and why did it have to be Romuona?
Was it really because Romuona was an existence that would not be too much of a pity even if she was abandoned?
If Padding was a silver chip, then in the eyes of those people, Romuona was probably just a small copper coin.
Olga looked at Romuona.
At this time, Romuona had stopped vomiting. She leaned against a tree and bent over to catch her breath. There was no light in her eyes, and she looked like a walking corpse.
Olga's heart ached for what happened to Romuona, and he also had an unvented anger.
Julius was also observing Lulunaka and Padding.
There were some words that his simple brain could not understand, and Olga was too lazy to explain them to him one by one. Therefore, when the conversation between Lulunaka and Padding reached his ears, most of it became like fog, and he could not grasp the reality at all.
But there was one thing that he did understand. That was the treacherous and despicable knight — that was his subjective opinion — but he looked very strong. He put down his sword and bowed his head in front of Lulunaka.
A tall and brave knight threw his weapon on the ground in front of a petite and weak girl and lowered his head. This scene was deeply engraved in Julius's mind.
"Knight Edgar …" Leon began, his tone full of guilt.
He originally thought that Padin wouldn't agree to such a humiliating promise just to save him. After all, Padin might push all the blame onto him after he returned alive.
He had thought that Lulunaka's previous words had already killed him, and Lulunaka did not really want to make such a deal. She just wanted to play with the two of them like toys.
Padding could very well let him die here. If Lulunaka did not lie, she would not interfere with Padding's plan to kill Romuona.
This meant that Padding still had a chance to complete his mission. As for the knights who died here, although it was not a small loss, Padding only needed to report the truth and he would not be punished too much. He was a useful outsider and a much more important bargaining chip than the twelve knights. No one would be willing to punish a Silver knight for the death of twelve Iron knights, not to mention that it was a stupid mistake made by the knights. Perhaps even the person behind Leon would think the same and not feel sorry for Leon's death.
Leon knew that the person behind him had always been generous, but at the same time, he was cold and heartless.
That was why he had prepared several defensive magic items for Leon. At the same time, he would never be angry or shed a single tear because of Leon's death.
But now, because of Padding's sacrifice, Leon was given a chance to live.
He felt sorry for this noble knight who had dragged him into a dishonorable and dishonorable murder and put him in such a situation. What made him feel even more guilty was that he did not know if he could face his own mistakes like Padding and tell the people behind the scenes that everything was ruined by Leon Padding and that a Silver knight had fallen into the hands of others.
He would not just face a simple punishment, but a heavy one.
"Knight Padding, pull yourself together."
Padding spoke to Leon, who was standing beside him with a look of shame. "Don't listen to the words of this girl who calls herself an alchemist but is no different from a demon. She is just messing with your mind and taking pleasure in seeing you panic.
When you return, just report what happened here as it is. This is not anyone's fault. If we really want to talk about who is to blame, it can only be said that we are all responsible. No one would have thought that a young girl living in the forest would actually be a demon. "
"Then what will you do, Knight Edgar?"
Padding did not answer this question.
He did not know how to answer this question.
"Don't worry about that, Sir Knight."
Lulunaka interrupted. "I won't let Mr. Edgar do anything too excessive, and I won't force him to give up on killing Miss Romuona. That would be too excessive." At this point, Lulunaka took out a roll of parchment from her pocket.
The parchment was cut into thin strips and rolled up into a bundle, which was very suitable for carrying outside.
There was a lot of parchment rolled up into a small roll. Lulunaka only unfolded a small section and pulled it horizontally in front of her.
"By the way, since it's a deal, it's better to write it down in black and white.
I happen to have something that is very suitable for making a contract. "
Padding felt a faint magic power on the parchment. Taking a closer look, he found that the parchment was not an ordinary item.
"This is the parchment of a Spirit Goat." The parchment was black, and the edges of the paper were slightly curled. It looked a little old.
Lulunaka unfolded the black parchment in front of Padding. It looked like she was going to read something in front of him. Padding knelt down and lowered his head, like a knight who was about to receive a decree.
"The parchment of a Black Spirit Goat, there is no other parchment more suitable for making a contract."
Lulunaka laughed. "If someone dares to break the contract, then the parchment of a Black Spirit Goat will turn gray, and the violator will become a target that will attract spirits no matter where he goes.
If it's a harmless spirit, then it's fine. But if it attracts evil spirits, then it can only be said that it will be a very exciting experience.
Endless spirits will torture the violator until his mind is weak. No matter what method he uses to destroy the spirits, there will always be a time when he will be exhausted. But the spirits are everywhere … Maybe he can take a breather by hiding in a church with the remains of a Saint?
But for a betrayer to be written on the parchment of a Black Spirit Goat, even the remnant of a Saint's soul will probably reprimand you, right? "
"Should I feel honored to use such a precious thing on me?" Padding showed a trace of a bitter smile.
Lulunaka seemed to be well-prepared. In order to make him completely submit, and also to prevent him from breaking his promise, she even used such a precious thing.
The parchment of a Spirit Goat was usually only used for secret and important contracts. It was mostly used for transactions that could not be exposed to the public. The people who liked to use it the most were schemers, assassins, and mages. Sometimes, these three identities would appear in the same person's identity without conflict.
"There's another advantage to using the parchment of a Spirit Goat to write a contract."
Lulunaka said, "Even if I forget to take a pen, it doesn't prevent me from writing down the contents of the contract … Or rather, I should say the contents of the contract." Then, Lulunaka's mouth uttered strange syllables.
Lulunaka did not speak any language in the world. It sounded like a series of ripples when a bell rang.
Her voice attracted everyone, making people unable to help but want to indulge in her voice, even if she was a tempting devil.
Lulunaka's voice seemed to have magic, making the parchment in her hand seem to have become a living creature. The surface of the parchment in her hand wriggled.
On the black parchment, small pieces of parchment continuously peeled off and fell to the ground, and the hollowed out areas became words, as if a knife was used to carve on the parchment.
When Lulunaka's voice stopped, a "contract" was completed.
Lulunaka turned the contract to Padding, "Mr. Edgar, take a look at this contract, is it acceptable?"
