Shut up, brave man! I don't want to atone for my sins to you!

She closed her eyes peacefully and let the black cat named Zarathustra jump lightly onto her shoulder, squatting there and licking its paws gracefully.

Then she added:

"The method of cancelling the contract is actually very simple. It is just like cancelling a normal master-servant contract. As long as the agreed time has passed, or the master agrees to cancel the contract in advance, the contract will be canceled naturally."

Lacie couldn't help but let out a "tsk" when she heard this.

She had also thought about what Lao Deng said, but the time she had agreed with Charles was until Charles died of old age.

Charles is still young and strong. Lacee estimates that he can live at least another eighty or ninety years. Let alone eighty or ninety years, even if it is only ten years - if ten years pass and her contract with Charles has not been terminated, by then the children she and Charles have are probably gone.

Another way...

There was no need to think about the other method. After the problem with the contract, she immediately wanted to discuss with Charles to terminate the contract, but Charles, who had always been an honest man, actually refused her.

Therefore, the solution provided by Lao Deng cannot be said to be effective immediately, and at least it can be said to be ineffective.

Rachel had no choice but to tell her:

"Of course I can think of what you can think of, but I...my friend tried it all, but in the end he still couldn't cancel the master-servant contract."

Lao Deng opened his eyes.

"You...your friend still couldn't cancel the master-servant contract?" She asked half puzzled and half teasingly, "But how could that be? It's very simple. Even if both parties in the contract are masters, as long as both parties agree, the contract can still be successfully terminated."

At this point, she seemed to have an epiphany, and said meaningfully:

"So that's how it is. Is it because the person you signed the contract with disagrees?"

Lacey corrected subconsciously:

"Not with me, but with a friend of mine..."

She still felt a little guilty after all, and her voice became a little softer:

"Anyway, Lao Deng, the two methods you mentioned don't work, so is there a third way?"

Unexpectedly, Lao Deng immediately said:

"Have."

"Really?" Lacier was a little surprised. "What is it?"

"Wouldn't it be better to kill that man?"

"what?"

Old Deng paid no attention to the stunned Lacier. She continued to smile kindly, like an elder caring for the younger generation. But what she said gave Lacier a chill:

"Since that person doesn't agree to terminate the contract with you, why don't you just kill him?"

Rachel subconsciously wanted to explain that the conflict between her and Charles was not serious enough to lead to a life-and-death struggle.

Lao Deng noticed her hesitation and resistance, and suddenly showed a cunning expression.

"You don't want to kill him?" The Lord of the White Tower asked Lacier confidently, "Or are you reluctant to kill him?"

Then, the old naughty boy's three-part reasoning slipped to a very dangerous level:

"—You like him?"

Lacey was stunned.

She didn't understand why Lao Deng thought she liked Charles - was her only choice, other than wishing Charles dead, to like Charles?

What diode?

So she argued:

"You seem to be a little too extreme, Lao Deng. Although I really don't want to continue the contract with that guy, I don't hate him to the point of wanting to get rid of him as soon as possible. Can't you give me some normal suggestions?"

As soon as Keleixier finished speaking, she noticed that Lao Deng had a smug smile on his face, celebrating the success of his prank:

"It's not one of your friends, it's you?"

Then, the Lord of the White Tower approached Lacier and asked curiously:

"'People always like to reconcile and compromise. For example, if you say that this room is too bright and you want to open a skylight here, everyone will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will come to reconcile and be willing to open the skylight' - my dear student, this is the truth you taught me."

"So, who is the person who turned my dear student into a good and obedient little maid?"

17. Lao Deng Lao Deng

Lao Deng, Lao Deng, it turns out that he becomes more and more clever as he gets older.

Lacey was very unhappy.

But no matter how unhappy she was, she couldn't do anything about Lao Deng.

To her, Old Den was more difficult to deal with than Charles.

She couldn't beat either of these two people, but when facing Charles, even if she couldn't beat him, she could run away and curse while running. But when facing Lao Deng, she wanted to fight but couldn't, wanted to run but couldn't, wanted to curse...

Lacie felt that she might not be able to scold Lao Deng better than him.

Because Lao Deng knew almost everything about her.

She is Rachel's teacher.

When she found out that she had the talent to become a witch, Lacier tried to find a suitable teacher for herself. After all, magic is not something that can be studied behind closed doors. Most of the high-level spells were monopolized by the wizards who stayed in their own wizard towers all day long, and the low-level spells that were circulated among the people were inferior.

If Laciel wants to join a wizard tower and become an apprentice of a great wizard, she has to find a way to come up with something that will interest those great wizards.

Precious spellcasting materials, rare spell prototypes, beautiful female slaves or suitable guinea pigs.

The only thing Lacie could offer was herself.

If she was willing to offer herself to a great wizard, perhaps there would be a great wizard willing to accept her as a disciple, but she didn't want to be rejected, especially since that person was a great wizard.

Although the wizards were all wearing wide black robes, they were full of mystery and rarely showed their faces. But according to the books and pornographic novels that Lacier had read in her previous life, although these people seemed to be abstinent, they actually did anything in private.

After all, he is a wizard, so he is not afraid of breaking things, so his playing methods are quite perverted. Lacie feels that if she really goes to offer herself to the man, she might become Tom Cat giving a concert.

So she gave up the idea of ​​joining a wizard tower - but it was after this that she met Lao Deng.

At that time, Lao Deng had just been expelled from the Mage Tower by a great wizard for violating a taboo. He was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and fell unconscious on the side of the road.

Laceline saved Lao Deng, and Lao Deng taught her everything he knew to thank her.

At that time, Lacie was just fourteen years old, and Lao Deng was almost fifty years old, so they called each other master and apprentice.

Old Deng had devoted her entire life to magic, but unfortunately she was dull-witted, which was undoubtedly bad news for a wizard. But when her life was about to end in a roadside ditch, Rachel brought her a ray of hope.

The fantastic ideas from another world inspired her, allowing this dull and mediocre person to finally glimpse the truth of the world.

Later, she gathered a group of like-minded young people and worked together to reform magic.

They established their own organization, which is the predecessor of the current White Tower Alliance, and they revolutionized the world with fire. From then on, magic, a treasure, was no longer kept in the respective wizard towers by greedy and stingy wizards, but became a tool that everyone was qualified to use.

Countless dark and gloomy wizard towers were knocked down, and replaced by a towering white tower that seemed to be able to pierce the sky.

Today, it has become the largest and highest-level magic academy in the entire Pan-Continent. Every year, countless wizards and prospective wizards from various countries and races come here to study and try to climb the white tower that symbolizes the pinnacle of magic.

Lao Deng’s office is at the top of the White Tower.

Although she has retired long ago due to her age, she is still the nominal master of the White Tower.

When Lao Deng was leading the magic reform, Lacie stayed by her side and helped her a lot. Later, after the situation stabilized, Lacie felt that there were too many things to do and was too busy, so she went away to live in seclusion.

Although she would still visit Lao Deng every once in a while, she would feel dizzy every time she came because of Lao Deng's nagging.

It seems that all older people are like this, and Lao Deng is no exception. Every time Lacie goes to see her, she asks Lacie if she has someone she likes and when she plans to get married.

It's the same this time.

After guessing that the "I have a friend" mentioned by Lacille was actually Lacille herself, Lao Deng asked with a smile:

"So who is he? He was able to sign a contract with our smart and lovely Miss Twilight Witch, and made her so distressed... Could you tell me his name?"

Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Lacier simply stopped pretending and replied with gritted teeth:

"He's a lucky bastard - don't ask! Anyway, I won't tell you no matter what!"

Because it's so embarrassing.

After the magic circle he had painstakingly constructed was destroyed, not only did he not get any compensation, he almost lost his life in the end.

How could she possibly have the nerve to say such a thing?

She blushes just thinking about it!

But the more intense her reaction was, the more curious Lao Deng became.

"Lucky bastard? No, I remember you went to live in seclusion in the Sea of ​​Forests. I haven't heard from you for a long time... Who could it be? What kind of person would enter the Sea of ​​Forests, come into contact with you, and even sign a contract with you?"

Lao Deng narrowed his eyes and thought slowly.

Lacey's scalp tingled.

But we can't let Lao Deng keep guessing blindly. Just as she said, there aren't many people who would go to the Sea of ​​Forest with nothing to do, and who could cross the Sea of ​​Forest safely and come into contact with her. Even if we use the process of elimination, we can quickly screen out the suspects.

Among these people, there are even fewer who are of the right age.

"Stop!" She interrupted Lao Deng hastily, "Don't let your imagination run wild! I have nothing to do with that guy. I have no feelings for him at all. The reason why it turned out like this was completely an accident!"

After she said that, Lao Deng actually stopped guessing and asked doubtfully:

"Accident?"

"Yes, it was unexpected," Lacier sighed and said, "Who knew that the contract would be a half-finished product? It was actually quite useful for hiring familiars before."

"Anyway, I used that half-finished master-servant contract to sign a contract with that guy, and then something unexpected happened. He is the master, and I am also the master. Neither of us can do anything to the other, but this situation is destined not to last forever. Who knows if he will give me some... some perverted order one day, and I won't be able to veto it in time."

"By then, if he..."

Lacey didn't say the rest.

If she were in front of Charles, she might be able to talk nonsense - she would even have the courage to ask Charles if he wanted to tease her, and even take the initiative to list various ways to tease him.

But in front of Lao Deng, she seemed much more reserved. Everything was said without words. She just gave Lao Deng a look and it was as if she had said it herself.

But Lao Deng did understand.

So Lao Deng was shocked and said hurriedly:

"Oh, that's not good. You're right. What if that guy really forces you to do something..."

When Lacie heard this, she was very happy and thought to herself, that’s right, it’s right to be anxious. It seems that Mr. Deng still cares about his students.

But just as she was halfway through her joy, she heard Lao Deng continue:

"Well, I have an idea - take me back, I'll go meet that guy in person, and then help you cancel the contract, how about that?"

Then Lacie also became frightened.

She thought, no, no, no, why did Lao Deng become the one going back with her to deal with Charles?

What if Lao Deng was so happy to see that Charles was a handsome man and a famous hero that he decided to match her up with Charles immediately?

She felt that Lao Deng was definitely capable of doing such a thing.

But just as she was racking her brains to find a way to persuade Lao Deng to leave, she saw the smirk on Lao Deng's face.

Obviously, Lao Deng might not really want to help her, but his true intentions were exposed.

Rachel went from being horrified to being furious:

"Well, you dare to tease me like this! Do you believe that I will never come to see you again?"

Lao Deng immediately stroked her hair:

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding. But if the two methods I told you before don't work, I'm afraid I really have to go back with you to take a look."

"?"

Laceier's two eyes turned into 0.o.

"Is this true?" she muttered. "It's just a master-servant contract. Is it that difficult?"
