——I have been working for seven days and I am exhausted. I will start to make up for it tomorrow.
Also, Dianniang is currently having a one-million-King Arthur event. As long as you download and register, you will receive 500 starting coins. You can try it. If you don’t get it, you won’t get it, haha.
…………………………………………………………………………
Whoosh, whoosh, Jacques seemed to hear someone breathing heavily in his ear, and each exhalation and inhalation were so consistent with his own heartbeat: "Is this the sound of my breathing? Is it a sign that I can't resist the temptation of the devil?"
With heavy breathing, more than ten seconds passed. As if he had exhausted all his strength, Jacques said in a hoarse voice that seemed to come from another world: "I, what should I do?"
He felt that he had been divided into two parts, one part was full of longing and was completely submerged by the tide of love, and the other part was watching, blaming himself but unable to stop it.
"Mr. Jacques, you only need to sign a magic contract with me, not to reveal my identity, turn a blind eye to the abnormalities discovered during the inspection, and not try to betray us after the ship sails and returns to Sturk..." Lu
Sean still maintained an elegant smile and absolute vigilance. Knight attendants with faith often go wrong at the critical moment when things are accomplished. "And I promise that when you are unable to become a knight on your own in three years, I will provide you with the resources to stimulate your bloodline."
The potion. Even if you can't find me then, the Magic Council will help fulfill it, and this can be signed by Mr. Tom on behalf of the council."
After speaking, Lucien added: "We can also add to the magic contract: As long as our lives are not endangered, we will not harm you or your companions on this sailboat."
Jacques took a few heavy breaths, raised his head, and looked into Lucien's eyes: "Okay, you win, Cherry is my biggest weakness."
As soon as he said the words, he felt something inside him was broken. But after making the decision, the contradictory and complex emotions of hesitation, embarrassment, hope and fear of accepting it completely disappeared, and the whole person was in a strange state of relaxation.
.
"Congratulations, Mr. Jacques, you have made the most correct choice. I think your future will definitely be bright." Lucien smiled while taking out the parchment he had prepared previously from his arms with his right hand, and then handed it to
Jacques took it and took out the quill and "magic ink" from his pocket, writing quickly on it, using the mysterious magic contract format.
While writing, Lucien did not look at the parchment, but kept staring at Jacques. His left hand did not relax at all and continued to hold it empty.
Jacques didn't pay attention. He looked down at the parchment in his hand and said with a hint of bitterness: "I have seen my future, and it is a dark future. Having violated my faith and chivalry, it is difficult for me to inspire the power of my bloodline on my own.
, and it is difficult to improve it with potions, let alone overcome the difficulties of the Great Knight. But as long as I have Cherry, I will jump into the abyss without hesitation."
"Mr. Jacques, you are such a good lover, I admire you from the bottom of my heart." Lucien said with a smile while writing, "And as far as I know, observing the spirit of chivalry is to find your own path and gather your will.
, and then rely on will to inspire the power of blood. What is your path? Is it to protect Miss Cherry and your own love? Then for this path, are you willing to abandon everything and accept the temptation of the devil? If so, then I miss you.
You can also activate your bloodline by your own will."
Jacques looked at Lucien in surprise: "Mysterious magician, your views on stimulating the power of blood are very different from my knight teacher, but it seems to make some sense." Tom was equally strange and surprised, but Lucien didn't expect it.
He also has an unusual understanding of the path of knights.
"I know a few high-level knights..." Lucien answered vaguely. It is impossible to say that he summed it up from Natasha's occasional words. "And in today's continent, science, uh, magic research
It is progressing by leaps and bounds, changing with each passing day. Even if Mr. Jacques relies on potions to stimulate your bloodline power, it is not a dead end. Maybe in a few years or more than ten years, a magician will develop a better potion formula that can help you make up for the basics and continue to advance.
Woolen cloth?"
After speaking, Lucien waved his quill a few times and signed his name at the end of the contract.
In this situation, Jacques certainly wanted to hear words that would enhance his confidence, so he smiled for the first time: "I heard that the holy water of the church combined with the secret potion of the noble family can promote people to the highest level of a second-level knight, such as Vaori
Grand Duke. In future potion formulas, there may be hope for the breakthrough you mentioned, Mr. Magician. Uh, Lucien Evans, haha, you actually have the same name as Cherry’s favorite genius musician?
But he is a warrior who never compromises against the darkness, and you..."
When Jacques turned the parchment and prepared to read the terms carefully, he was surprised to find Lucien's signature. However, after sighing, he continued to read the contract. There was no connection between the two people at all. How could a great musician who was sought after everywhere
Maybe it's an evil guy hiding in front of me, like a devil.
"Haha." Lucien laughed dryly. A magic contract without a real name would have no effect. At the same time, he turned his head and looked at Tom. I wonder if he had guessed his identity? He had always used the surname Evans before.
If Granneuve were here, thinking that Grace was helping people deliver the note, thinking that the guy he sent people to secretly discover was actually named Lucien Evans, and thinking that Grace was a student of a talented musician, I am afraid that he would have determined that the person in front of him was
The guy was the famous musician, but I don’t know if he ever mentioned to Tom that it was Grace who sent the note.
Tom, who was blocking the door, was still staring solemnly at Lucien's left hand and Jacques, ready to explode his blood power at any time. He seemed to have seen too many things with the same name, so he didn't react.
Jacques read the contract several times to confirm that there were no problems, then took Lucien's quill pen and signed his name "Jacques Welch" in the lower right corner: "Mr. Evans, is this all right?"
Lucien nodded, asked Tom to sign his name, and then took the magic contract in his hand, and his spiritual power spread out to completely wrap it up.
A slight magic wave appeared from the words on the parchment, turning into a light blue flame and burning slowly.
Since he was not casting the spell himself, Lucien could use his mental power to suppress the magic fluctuations and watch the parchment turn to ashes in the light blue flames.
When it was completely burned, Lucien suddenly felt that there was something invisible in his soul, and Jacques's expression became slightly dazed.
This is a sign that the magic contract is established!
"The contract is established. If you violate it, your soul will be burned and destroyed by the magical flames." Lucien smiled and stretched out his right hand to shake Jacques's hand, as if to celebrate the successful cooperation, "Then we will not disturb Mr. Jacques while you check the magic."
It’s time to form.”
Jacques took a deep look at Lucien: "Mr. Evans, I have to say that you are a real devil, a devil who is good at deceiving people. When I was training as a knight, I always thought that I could be firm and unyielding in the face of the devil.
I was tempted, but now..."
Before he finished speaking, he crossed over to Lucien to check the hatch next to the window.
Lucien and Tom were at the door watching him work seriously.
"If the magic contract is really violated, there is a small chance that it will be suppressed by divine magic. Evans, are you not afraid?" Tom asked quietly. He understood that the magic contract is not stable. For example, Lucien, as long as he is promoted to the middle level, he can rely on it.
With the strength of the soul, it can withstand the soul fire damage caused by the magic contract.
Lucien replied in a low voice: "The magic contract is just a formality. When he decides to sign it, I am very sure that he will not violate it. As long as the human heart is 'fallen', it will be difficult to face the 'light' again.
It will only get deeper and deeper. Of course, there are definitely risks, but the risks are much smaller than taking risks to cast magic, so from a probability perspective, I can only choose the former."
"It's a good idea. I heard that there is a half-elf priest who believes in the goddess of luck. Every time he makes a decision, he relies on tossing a coin. What he throws is what he gets." Tom nodded and smiled, "The magic potion will be issued by the parliament. After all,
You have protected so many apprentices."
Then, accompanied by Lucien and Tom, Jacques checked the cabins here one by one, turning a blind eye to the apprentices who were trying to hide in the small room.
After Jacques left and nothing happened for a full hour, Lucien let out a long breath. It seemed that he would not take the risk of informing.
…………
In Viscount Wright's cabin.
The expensive Camelot Kingdom porcelain cup was thrown heavily onto the carpet and shattered into countless small pieces.
"Trash, you are all trash, you actually let the murlocs steal so many Heilan Stones, and you almost let people discover those guys." Viscount Wright roared angrily.
In front of him, Granneuve and Tom stood up straight, their heads bowed deeply.
Viscount Wright walked back and forth: "I want to know why the Kuo-Toa people know that we are transporting Heilan Stone this time?! Granuve, Tom, you must find out."
Even if it occupies one-tenth of the wealth of Sturk City, such a serious loss made Viscount Wright's face distorted.
"Yes, Lord Viscount." Granneuve and Tom replied without daring to raise their heads.
After Viscount Wright vented his anger, his expression turned grim: "Find an opportunity to get rid of that knight's squire named Jacques. Anyway, the contract only stipulates that you can't do anything to the magician and Tom."
"Yes." Granuv nodded vigorously.
"Wait, forget it, I don't want to make Cherry sad." Viscount Wright held his forehead and waved his hand tiredly, "Go and find out about Heilan Stone."
…………
Over the next month, the weather became colder and colder, but since getting rid of the murloc attacks, the fleet no longer suffered major storms and attacks, and successfully arrived at the "Port of Padre" in the Kingdom of Holm across the Storm Strait.
On the penultimate floor, Lucien and others, who had returned to live in the cabin after being repaired, stood quietly next to the wooden boxes loaded with goods, feeling equally surging.
Even an experienced and calm magician like Lucien could not restrain his inner excitement and joy at this time. After countless dangers, he finally arrived at the Kingdom of Holm and could learn magic with peace of mind. As for "pollution"
Lucien was not greedy at all regarding the "Sea Area" matter. With his current strength, he would probably be courting death if he went there.
"Evans, you lie down in the wooden box. Don't be afraid when someone checks. Don't do anything." Tom pointed to the more than ten empty long wooden boxes.
Lucien nodded, and as an example, he first stepped into the wooden box and curled up and lay down, then watched as a layer of wooden boards came down, darkness fell, and the box was sealed and narrow.
The sound of goods falling on the wooden boards was endless, and Lucien thought amusingly: "This seems to be like being buried in a coffin."
After it was filled with goods, another layer of wooden boards was added, and then it was nailed firmly with iron nails.
In the darkness, I don't know how long it took, when Lucien thought he would be bumpy and bumpy forever, the nails were pulled out, the wooden boards were lifted, and someone began to inspect the goods.
Lucien, who was on high alert but did not make any move according to Tom's instructions, quietly listened to the sound of the goods being pulled, and then Jacques's voice appeared: "No problem."
The wooden board was covered again, and the bumpy and undulating feeling returned again until the cargo box was placed on the cold and damp ground.
Another long period of time passed before the wooden boards were opened, the goods were taken out, the compartment plywood was pulled away, and the sunlight shone into the alert Lucien's eyes.
Slowly sitting up, Lucien squinted his eyes and looked at the man opposite.
This is a tall young man wearing a white shirt, a brown vest, and a double-breasted black coat. He is wearing a tall black hat. In the unusually bright sunshine, he says with a bright smile: "Welcome.
To Holm, companions on the magical path."
Lucien immediately relaxed, his depression completely disappeared, and he understood that a new chapter in his life had begun.
