"Since we are acquaintances, let's keep the story short!"
Until now, Xifa does not know the name of Raphael Orlier.
But Xifa was deeply impressed by his magic fluctuations.
Raphael Oriel adjusted his collar in an elegant manner.
Take out a piece of parchment from your pocket.
After spreading it out, the parchment slowly flew to Xifa, who was on guard.
Seeing Xifa, he raised his wand to release magic.
Raphael Olier's soothing and elegant manner instantly became crisp and clean.
At some point, he pointed the hidden wand at Xifa, and while activating the magic, he spoke to Xifa.
Xifa noticed Raphael Olier's little move at the last moment.
However, now his body and brain are controlled with high latency.
Although his mind was moving, he couldn't teleport to the side.
Helpless, he had no choice but to do the next best thing and cast the Iron Armor Curse and the Ultimate Curse.
However, the body's response cannot keep up with the brain's control.
Raphael Oriel's magic has affected Xifa.
"I want you...to sign...a contract..."
Raphael Olier's words came to his mind in a torn manner.
Suddenly, Xifa felt a splitting headache.
That is to say, Western France has experienced some stormy scenes, and its spiritual will has become higher than that of ordinary people.
He barely controlled himself and did not press his fingerprints on the parchment.
Because the fingerprint was not pressed, Raphael Oriel's goal was naturally not achieved.
His magic naturally continues to work on Xifa's mind.
In this way, Xifa's expression became unbearable and he began to grin, looking very embarrassed.
"Huh?"
After a long time, he saw that his method failed to work, and Xifa's expression became calmer.
For example, Xifa found how to use his will to resist this magic.
Raphael Oriel couldn't help but burst out in surprise.
He swung his wand several times in succession to strengthen his bewitching magic.
At the beginning, the magic was indeed more effective, and Xifa's somewhat calm expression became more ferocious.
Under pressure, Xifa's skills improved faster.
It took a shorter time to face stronger bewitching power.
Xifa's expression calmed down faster.
Misstep, Raphael Oriel's expression is visibly annoyed.
He has already treated Xifa as an Auror.
But I never thought that the power of bewitching was not enough.
At the beginning, if he used all his strength to bewitch magic, he was afraid that Xifa would fall into coma on the spot.
In this case, the game I designed will be meaningless...
When Raphael Oriel saw this, he removed the magic.
Since magical means don't work, then use Muggle methods.
It has to be said that sometimes Muggle methods are very effective. Through coercion and inducement, he has dealt with many such tough cases.
For now.
He originally wanted to control Xifa and force Elise and Luna to work for the Shadow Empire.
On the contrary, he can also use the two women and others to force Xifa to sign the contract "willingly".
Why not use contracts to control Elise and Luna?
That's because forced enslavement has no soul. He wants the two women to contribute to preventing Western France from suffering, instead of two dull magic pattern drawing machines and potion brewing machines - probably.
"If you want me to sign a contract, you also need to use magic to enchant me?"
Xifa's spirit was relaxed. While breathing, he reflected on everything he had experienced so far tonight.
Xifa felt more and more strange.
If you want to convince yourself to sign a contract, wouldn't it be more convenient to directly convince yourself to persuade Elise and Luna?
"Hey! Xifa!"
Raphael Olier's joking words interrupted Xifa's thinking.
Because his reaction was a little slow, he was shocked and angry to find out.
At some point, Lady Mary levitated in front of Raphael Oriel.
"This woman is your adoptive mother, right? If you don't sign the contract, her life will be..."
There is no need to say what follows, Xifa also understands what Raphael Olier means.
Helpless, in my current state, I have no choice but to bow my head under the eaves.
"Okay! I'll just sign it. In order for me to sign the contract, they actually created such a big battle."
Xifa seemed to be laughing at himself, but in fact he was just taking a chance and wanted to see if he could figure out Raphael Oriel's intentions.
But he never thought that Raphael Oriel would actually explain it to him.
"This contract requires your sincere acceptance."
Raphael Oriel smiled and waved his magic wand.
Elise and Luna, who were hanging on the tree, slowly flew in front of him.
"It wasn't so troublesome in the first place. It's a pity that they would rather die than surrender..."
Raphael Oriel pointed at Elise and Luna.
"And I don't want dull people. Of course, the choice is in your hands. You lose your freedom, and they only need to complete our tasks to get the opportunity to meet you."
"If you don't agree, I will have to choose a flawed plan."
"Forcibly enslaving the two of them, and you, of course, have no meaning in your existence."
Raphael Oriel pointed at Xifa, and then drew a circle towards the other people hanging in the tree.
Hearing this, Xifa understood.
Selling himself, Raphael Oriel controls himself and indirectly controls Elise and Luna.
To be honest, the best choice for Western France is to get it over with.
However, in that extreme situation, Xifa feels that he can still fight.
What if in the future, I...or Elise, breaks this contract?
So, Xifa reluctantly raised his hand and pressed his fingerprint on the contract.
The parchment slowly flew in front of Raphael Oriel.
He took the parchment and looked at it pretendingly, and then he suddenly let out a sneer.
With an impatient expression, he put the parchment on Lady Mary's back with his backhand.
In Xifa’s eyes that are tearing apart.
Lady Mary's back was on fire.
Xifa couldn't help it anymore, he raised his arm to attack.
However, Raphael Olier just waved the small wooden stick in his hand.
Space is being distorted.
Elise, Luna, and Cassandra all lined up and appeared on the only path that Western magic must pass.
As a last resort, Xifa quickly removed his magic.
However, there are some problems with the body's sensitivity.
The magic emitted by Xifa failed to stop as Xifa wished.
Helpless, Xifa had no choice but to try his best to transfer the remaining magic spell to Cassandra.
Cassandra's body was able to resist this power at the cost of minor injuries.
From the perspective of Western pain.
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Cassandra's mouth.
Behind them, flames surged.
"How about it, Xifa. I'll give you another chance. You must sign the contract sincerely."
Seeing Xifa face the contract, he just took a deep breath and pressed it.
Raphael Olier seems to understand something.
"You are a wizard! Xifa! Unbreakable Vow! Do you know what to do? Look at you, because you live in the Muggle world, you don't even know how to sign a wizard's contract!"
Hearing this, Xifa glared at Raphael Olier viciously with his red eyes.
He picked up the wand and muttered something dryly.
A golden-red silk thread ran along the shoulder, wrapped around the arm, and wrapped around Xifa's wrist.
Finally, the silk thread slid forward, turning Xifa's palm into golden red.
When he was about to press it on the parchment, Xifa's hand paused.
"Hurry up!"
A beaming Raphael Oriel saw Xifa stop at the last moment.
He put away his playful face.
He urged Xifa in an impatient tone, but Xifa was indifferent.
He waved his wand.
A group of Motla rats with sharp teeth, blood-red eyes and black fur emerged from the ground.
They all ran towards other members of the orphanage who were tied to trees.
Seeing the rats pile up higher and higher, they are about to reach Annie's feet.
Xifa could only close his eyes in frustration and put his hand on the parchment.
Golden-red handprints shone on the parchment.
The rats also stopped commotion. The commotion stopped, making Xifa, who closed his eyes, breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
After an unknown amount of time, Xifa opened his eyes again.
The golden-red handprints reflected Raphael Oriel's face, which looked so dazzling.
“Very good!”
Raphael Oriel cheered.
Then he waved his magic wand, causing the rope hanging everyone to break.
Human figures were devoured by rats one after another...
Xifa's soul seemed to have been hit with a hammer again.
Last time, because Elise and others were suddenly threatened, she forced herself to calm down from her rage.
This time, Raphael Oriel focused on the contract.
It seems that he doesn't care about himself.
With his mind fluctuating violently, Xifa finally felt his second heart.
Bang bang——bang bang——
Xifa suddenly aimed at Raphael Oriel and opened his right hand.
Even without a wand.
Xifa's hand emitted surging blue fire.
The wave of flames bypassed Elise and the other three people who were standing between him and Raphael Oriel.
Mixed with the anger of West France, it rushed towards Raphael Oriel.
At this time, Raphael Olier's actions actually caused Xifa's mentality to collapse.
He never expected it.
Raphael Oriel did not dodge, but fired three green magics at Elise and the other three.
The three women's vitality was taken away instantly.
So far, Xifa has been the spiritual pillar of all these years.
They were all interrupted by this unexpected encounter tonight.
There was a dead silence in Xifa's heart.
The fierce fire emitted by him lost control.
Raphael Oriel easily turned into a puff of smoke and escaped the sea of fire that rushed toward him.
Then, he stood still on a branch.
Looking at the fierce fire that continues to spread in the field, and Xifa standing blankly in the field.
He said without forgetting the last hit.
"Actually, I just helped my allies kill the two of them."
"Tonight is just my bad taste. I want to tease you. After all, when they are awake, they can definitely save them by talking about you."
"Hey, young man, the water in the magic world is very deep, you can't grasp it."
"Oh, by the way, you signed the contract, so congratulations, you can live!"
"After all, you sold your soul to me and became my magical servant!"
......
Word after word, like a sharp sword, pierced Xifa's heart.
However, Xifa was completely disappointed at this time.
He had no reaction.
If only Raphael Oriel didn't have to control him with a contract.
Xifa just wanted this fierce fire to swallow him up.
When the fierce flames got closer and closer to Xifa, the corners of his clothes began to curl under the high temperature.
In Xifa's heart, a dragon roar suddenly sounded.
Wait a minute, how could I be so desperate?
This is a magical world!
Even a world where there are real examples of changing time and life and death!
Xifa's scattered pupils regained clarity for a moment as the dragon roared in his heart.
At this time.
Raphael Olier's bewitching magic was once again cast on Xifa.
However, this time, Xifa did not react to Raphael Olier's magic.
A confident smile appeared on his lips again.
"This is a dream! Right!"
As Xifa finished speaking, the whole world seemed to have pressed the pause button.
Soon, it shattered like a picture in a broken mirror.
Xifa's consciousness truly fell into darkness.
————————
Huh——huh——
This time, it was Xifa who was wearing big pants and suddenly sat up from the bed.
That is to say, when I sleep alone at home, I sleep in my underwear.
The rest of the time, I keep my clothes on.
That is to say, in a dream, you will ignore some things because your consciousness is not clear.
The last dragon roar is probably my subconscious reminding myself.
Let yourself wake up in the dream, and naturally, your consciousness will be fully revived in the dream.
Your dreams cannot carry your waking consciousness, and your dreams will no longer exist...
Because it's a nightmare.
Xifa felt a little dizzy, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead.
Huh? My hands are sticky.
Haha, it has been a year since I entered the magic world, and for the first time I broke out in a sweat while sleeping.
I came back to my senses.
Xifa gave himself a 'clean up' spell, and the sweat stains all over his body were wiped away.
He stood up and came to the table, poured himself a glass of water and drank it.
Patting his cheek, Xifa began to check the condition of his body. There was no way he would have nightmares for no reason!
Is there nothing unusual about your body, or can’t you tell by examination?
Frowning, Xifa closed his eyes and used Occlumency to sort out the fragmented dream memories and feelings.
Start analyzing and comparing.
After a while, Xifa suddenly opened his eyes.
After the identification, there is something interfering with me.
But what could it be?
Xifa came to the window and let the breeze blow on herself to make her mind clearer.
Gu Gu Gu——
At this time, I saw myself coming to the window.
Xiaobai, who turned a blind eye on the eaves, discovered himself.
It flapped its wings and flew in front of him, and rubbed its fluffy head affectionately against his fingers.
At first, Xifa subconsciously retracted his hand and avoided Xiaobai's head.
Immediately afterwards, Xifa saw Xiaobai looking at him with confusion.
He calmly spread his shrinking fingers.
Put your hand on Xiaobai's back and stroke it along the feathers.
Gugu——
Xiaobai didn't understand Xifa's vigilance at that moment.
When Xifa touched its chin, it cooed softly.
However, why does the master not look at himself, but looks up at the moon with dull eyes?
You must have let the master sink.
As a result, Xiaobai's cooing became more frequent.
...
I don’t know how much time passed, but Xiaobai was exhausted from cooing.
Xifa finally withdrew his distracted eyes from the moon.
He thought of something, but couldn't believe it...
Open the desk drawer by the window.
He took out a box of special owl snacks and sent Xiaobai aside to play.
Xifa turned around and came to the clothes rack.
Staring at the dress Elise gave him!
