"I've heard these syllables before … … It's a lost language."
Padding stared at Lulunaka, his face full of suspicion. He could feel that Lulunaka's bell-like voice was magical, causing the parchment made from the Black Spirit Goat's skin to react and automatically write the words she wanted.
"Who are you?
What does it have to do with ancient elves or dragons? "
"Is this question important right now?"
Lulunaka asked, then shook her head, "No, it's not important at all, and this is a girl's secret, it's not very appropriate for you to ask about this, is it?
Aren't you a knight with a noble character?
Asking about a girl's secret is not something to be proud of. "
Lulunaka unfolded the parchment in front of Padding, "Come, please take a good look at this contract between you and me, see if there's anything unfair, or if there's anything left out.
If you feel that there's something wrong, then I'll write another one.
I just hope that you can consider it carefully, and don't make me waste too much parchment — — Black Spirit Goats are not easy to find, even if you find one, you may not be able to catch it, and even if you catch it, you may not be able to get a beautiful and flawless skin. "
Padding looked at the contract on the parchment.
He could clearly see the contents of the contract on the black parchment. The words that were presented were very standard, and even the best writer could not write more beautiful words than this.
Lulunaka's language that no one could understand fell on the parchment, and it became a common language that Padding could understand.
Padding could not see any falsehoods in this contract.
The words were also glowing with a dark green light, looking like a document from the netherworld, and it seemed to be filled with death.
Padding quickly browsed through the contract.
The content of the contract was very simple, Lulunaka would not attack Leon, and in return, Padding promised to do one thing for her, but this thing could not be related to Romuona — — he could not give up on killing Romuona, nor could he use indirect methods, such as making him commit suicide or leave here to prevent him from assassinating Romuona.
The content of the contract was very simple, but it was written very carefully, mentioning all the possible loopholes and details of all the possible things that could happen, pointing out what Lulunaka could not do, and what Padding could not do.
The contract was written perfectly, and Padding could not find any loopholes.
For a devil's contract, it was too intimate, and Lulunaka even gave him a chance to rewrite it.
Because of this, Padding was more convinced that the girl in front of him was a devil — — a contract that looked complete and rigorous might hide the devil's details.
If she was not a devil, then she was a businesswoman with rich business experience, and such a businesswoman was no different from a devil in Padding's eyes.
For Padding, businessmen were sometimes more like devils than devils.
"This is a fair deal."
Lulunaka stretched out her finger and poked the contract in front of Padding. "This is an honest and fair contract.
Why are you still hesitating?
Mr. Edgar, as long as you sign it, this knight can leave here, and I won't stop him wherever he goes.
Perhaps you can even bring in more people to help you hunt down Miss Romuiona?
As for you, I won't let you do anything too excessive. It's also written in the contract that I will never force you to give up and lose the opportunity to kill Miss Romuona in any way. "
"Alchemist, is this what you mean by help? Is this what you mean by helping Miss Romuona?" Olga finally could not help but shout at Lulunaka.
Lulunaka looked at Olga with an apologetic face, as if she really felt sorry for Romuona. "I'm really sorry, Master Olga, but I have something I want to do, and I need Mr. Edgar's cooperation.
As for Miss Romuona … "
Lulunaka looked at Romuona.
Although Romuona had been vomiting just now and was not in a very good state, she was paying attention to the development of things.
When Lulunaka looked at her, her already bad face became even worse.
In the end, Lulunaka turned her head back. "Since Miss Romuona thinks that she's a dead person, then … so be it?
A dead person should look like a dead person. "
Romuona's body quivered, and she held on to the trunk to prevent herself from collapsing.
It seemed that even the friend she had just made had abandoned her, which was a big blow to Romuona.
Julius clenched the dagger in his hand and held it in front of his chest.
He felt the atmosphere become tense again. Lulunaka said that she was here to help, but now it seemed that she had reached a compromise and consensus with Padding.
Olga had already clenched the sword in his hand again.
If Lulunaka really did not interfere in this matter, there was no doubt that Padding would attack again, even if only one of the Church Knights was left, and he was the only one left to fight.
This meant that he and Padding would have a battle to the death, and the possibility of Olga losing his life was very high.
As long as he died, Romuona and Julius would not be spared.
The appearance of the self-proclaimed Alchemist Lulunaka had freed them from the suffocating situation, and gave them a chance to breathe.
But now, if Lulunaka really did not interfere, they would be in a predicament again.
Although they had lost a group of Church Knights, Olga did not think that it was a decisive factor. As a Silver-ranked knight, he knew all too well that a Silver-ranked like Padding, who was at the peak of his power, could take on hundreds of Church Knights by himself. Rather than saying that the Church Knights were here to help Padding, it would be more accurate to say that they were here to handle miscellaneous matters for him.
The others were not necessary, but Padding was an indispensable part of this conspiracy.
Olga had the chance to escape with Romuona and Julius, but Lulunaka stopped them.
Olga admitted that he could not protect Romuona from that dog named Ward, even if he used the most cold-blooded method, such as using Julius as bait, it would not work.
That dog was not an ordinary beast, and it would not fall for the methods that Olga was familiar with.
All the problems stemmed from Lulunaka's actions.
She allowed Romuona and the others to escape temporarily, but forced them to stay in this predicament, and then pushed them back with her own hands.
What Olga was thinking, Padding was also thinking.
This was a huge temptation. As long as Lulunaka, this girl of unknown origin, did not interfere, then Padding was confident that the mission would continue.
Moreover, Lulunaka's method of forcing Olga and the others to stay by threatening them made Padding believe that she was a person who only acted according to her mood. Killing or saving, it was all up to her.
Now, the situation seemed to have returned to Padding's hands, even though it was given to him by Lulunaka.
Padding clenched and relaxed his fists, and his brows furrowed.
He was hesitating, he was struggling.
This was no doubt a devil's contract, but it was precisely because it was a devil's contract that he was so conflicted and in pain.
If he agreed to this contract, then he had to do something for Lulunaka, and this condition seemed so good. Not only would it not prevent him from killing Romuona, but it would also not force him to do something that he thought was against his will.
If he refused, then Lulunaka's attitude would become unclear, and Leon would definitely lose his life. Lulunaka was definitely not a soft-hearted person. Since she said that if Padding refused, then she would definitely kill Leon.
This deal and contract seemed to be very beneficial to Padding, but in fact, it was not fair at all.
Lulunaka had used the heads of eleven church knights and Leon's neck to obtain this authority. Now, she was giving this authority to Padding, and it was just charity.
If she wanted to take back this authority, could Padding really resist?
Padding was thinking.
He did not hesitate for long, but to him, every second was being dragged out, and it was unbearably long.
Even the air seemed to have become heavy, pressing down on his neck, as if urging him to submit.
In the end, Padding's fist pressed on the ground.
He wanted to punch down, but in the end, he restrained himself.
His voice came out from between his teeth, as if to him, speaking had become a shameful thing.
"I agree.
Padding Edgar, agree to this contract. "
Lulunaka smiled happily, and the smile on her face was brighter than a blooming flower.
"I agree.
Lulunaka also agrees to this contract. "
Their names appeared at the end of the contract, and some small pieces of sheepskin fell to the ground as if they had lost their vitality, and became just pieces of sheepskin without magic power.
Lulunaka moved the contract away, walked to the side, and looked at this newly formed contract.
"What a delightful deal, Mr. Edgar.
Then I won't disturb you for the time being. You can discuss with this knight what to do next.
I have plenty of time, so I'm not in a hurry to rush you. "
