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

"That's weird," she thought, "If everything is fine, why do I feel this way?"

Miss Witch couldn't understand.

She thought again and again about the conversation between her and the hero, trying to find the source of the matter, but no matter how hard she tried, it seemed to be in vain.

So she had to give up.

People do have this kind of illusion occasionally, she told herself, feeling flustered and always feeling that they have missed something but can't put their finger on it, but in fact, they are just scaring themselves.

After comforting herself in this way, the witch ignored the strange feeling and turned around to continue concentrating on fighting the hero.

She had already told the hero the only feasible solution, and then, as usual, she pretended to ask for his opinion just to go through the motions.

She wanted to ask, "Are you right, brave man?", but the words changed when they came out of her mouth.

Like instinct or muscle memory, her body twisted it on its own.

So, she naturally asked:

"Isn't that right, Master?"

After saying this, the witch lady was stunned, and the brave man in front of her was also stunned.

The feeling of something being wrong was confirmed, and Rachel, whose "common sense" had been tampered with, finally discovered the truth.

From the time the contract came into effect and she ordered the hero to obey her orders, she no longer addressed the hero as "you" but "you". As time passed, the impact of the contract continued to deepen, until now, she called Charles "Master".

But...what's going on?

Lacie subconsciously looked at the completed contract, and the scene of her teasing the hero just now suddenly emerged in her mind, and her heart skipped a beat.

——She was a little panicked.

But it seems there's no point in panicking.

[To be continued]

-

9. Flexible judgment

There’s no use panicking, so don’t panic!

The most important thing to do now is to think carefully about how to fool Charles.

Lacie felt that she had always been a master at changing the subject, so at a time like this, what new topic should she bring up that would be in line with her masterly style?

Decided--

Talk to Charles right now about "resurrecting" the pastor lady. Charles is a complete lovesick man. As long as she mentions the deceased pastor, Charles will definitely rush over with his tail wagging like a stupid dog seeing a bone.

But this time, Laciel miscalculated, because before she could open her mouth, Charles spoke first:

"You called me...what?"

Lacey wondered what else to call it?

Dog-skin plaster, wooden head, big light bulb, stupid dog, but the only thing that won’t be…

"Master...Master..."

Driven by the contract, Lacie shouted again.

She has an honest body and a well-behaved mouth.

——Although she was already cursing in her heart.

There must be something wrong with that damn contract! Or maybe it was the forbidden spell unique to the hero that caused the contract to go wrong! As a professional witch, she must be brave enough to make judgments. She had made so many contracts, and there had never been a problem. Now that she had encountered Ciel, there was a problem. It must be Ciel's fault!

Miss Witch's face turned red with anger.

She was grinding her little fangs, her eyes were full of murderous intent, and her expression was so ferocious that it looked like she was about to pounce and bite someone.

“No!” Lacier bit each word hard, making it crackle. “Don’t let me call you… Master… Master again!”

"Otherwise, be careful or I won't help you resurrect your lover!" she threatened again.

This completely hit Ciel's soft spot - but in order to clear himself of suspicion, Ciel still explained in a low voice:

"But I didn't ask you to shout. Didn't you shout it yourself?"

"..."

Laceel was almost blushing.

Fainted by the dog hero.jpg

She raised her hand, pointed at Charles, and wanted to say you you you - her originally eloquent little mouth was now clogged with anger, and the power of the contract still bound her - so the three words that were originally on the tip of her tongue became you you you.

The sharp weapon of words is coated with sweet sugar and decorated with cream and nuts. Naturally, it will no longer be lethal, but will only make people feel delicious and satisfying.

Ciel could hardly hold back his laughter.

And Lacier saw four big words on his face:

"It's so cute."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Ciel obviously thought she was very cute now.

Laceel finally recovered.

She stood up and pointed at Ciel's nose, wanting to curse, "What the hell is this hero! Cute bull demon!" But she forgot about the contract that she had added her own private words to, so it was like she automatically loaded the youth mode, and what came out of her mouth was a completely opposite version:

"Stupid master! I hate you so much!"

Charles couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed out loud - perhaps Rachel should thank him, because at least he knew to turn his head away when he laughed.

But his laughter still disturbed Lacey's ears.

But Lacie couldn't do anything to him.

It is true that she has sharp fangs and claws, but now her fangs have been destroyed by the contract, and she cannot scold Charles; and her claws may be useful to others, but they cannot be used against Charles who possesses forbidden magic.

I can’t scold him, and I can’t beat him. What can I do?

Rachel discovered in despair that she had no other way to deal with Charles except threatening him not to help her resurrect her lover. However, the later she found the pastor, the greater the possibility that her identity would be exposed.

She wants Yu Yu.

On the other hand, Charles may not only discover the truth at any time, but now he has inexplicably turned the tables and become the master through the contract. Based on the private goods she added to the contract, Charles can almost unconditionally order her to do anything.

Including astringency.

No! She had to find a way to save herself. Although Charles was indeed a good man and a brave man, Laceel didn't want to give her leadership to anyone else, even Charles.

So she began to use her brain desperately.

When she was in the Heroic Team, she had studied Ciel's forbidden magic.

That is the only inheritance in the entire Pan-Continent, and only the brave men chosen by the gods in each generation can practice it. Although it is also a kind of magic, it is miraculously able to eliminate magic. When it is practiced to the highest level, it is said to be able to break all magic power. Even the demon king of the demon race cannot resist the influence of the forbidden spell.

Of course, the effect of the forbidden spell is only to eliminate all magic power, so it stands to reason that the heroes of all generations should not be able to use any other spells except the forbidden spell.

The effect of forbidden spells is only to bring the heroes of all generations and their enemies to the same starting line. What can determine the victory of the battle is their well-tempered and powerful bodies.

——The heroes of all generations possess extremely abnormal physical strength. Rather than being human heroes, they are more like dragons in human skin.

Even though he is an outlier among the heroes of all generations, the current hero, Charles Green, possesses terrifying power that ordinary people cannot match.

As for why Ciel is considered an outlier among all the heroes of the past...

Because Ciel is the only brave warrior who can use magic other than forbidden spells, and he is also the one with the weakest body among all the brave warriors in history.

In fact, this was all thanks to Laciel. In order to play the role of Bai Yueguang well, the cunning girl took great pains to find a loophole in the forbidden spell and tried to make Charles learn the light spell. However, thanks to this experience, Laciel can now boast that she is the person who knows the most about forbidden spells besides the heroes of all generations.

Even the old men in the White Tower couldn't understand it better than her.

She knew that forbidden magic could indeed be used to deal with the master-servant contract. After all, the master-servant contract itself was also a kind of magic. The reason why Charles agreed to sign the master-servant contract with her was probably because he felt that he could use forbidden magic to get rid of the influence of the master-servant contract at any time.

The effect of a forbidden spell is to eliminate all enemies equally, rather than rebounding.

Plus, Charles is completely ignorant of the law...

Lacier sat down again, glanced suspiciously at Charles who was still laughing, told herself to stay calm, then closed her eyes, took two deep breaths, and continued to analyze calmly:

Charles has basically been ruled out as a suspect.

But if it wasn't Charles who was causing the trouble, then where could the problem lie?

They were the only two people who had come into contact with this master-servant contract. If we use the process of elimination and exclude Charles, then wouldn't she be the only suspect?

Lacie subconsciously felt that her idea was a little ridiculous.

How is it possible?

She suddenly remembered something.

All magic, especially contract-related magic, has a very strong [directionality]. When the contractor signs his name on the contract scroll, he is actually signing his own unique [essence] as well.

In the major kingdoms of mankind, there are countless people named "Rachel Charlotte" and "Charles Green", but each "Rachel Charlotte" and "Charles Green" has a very different [nature]. Only by recording the [nature] of both parties can the contract have the ability to force both parties to fulfill their obligations.

And three years ago, in order to perfectly disguise herself and join the brave team, Rachel even deliberately twisted her own [nature].

Simply put, [Essence] is a person's identity certificate. In order to get close to the hero, Lacie made a fake certificate.

She was quite proud of herself at the time, thinking that she was a professional traitor who could consider things so carefully. Now, let alone the heroes, even the group of old men in the White Tower might not be able to recognize her true identity.

Because in essence, she is no longer the Twilight Witch Rachel, but the priest Rachel of the Brave Squad.

Three years later, after faking her death and sweeping away heroes to become a witch again, she had just returned to her nest and before she had the chance to change her [essence] back, she encountered Charles who came to her door.

Therefore, her [essence] is still that of a priest, not a witch.

In fact, this was not a big deal, but she forgot that the contract she signed with the hero was not made by her on the spot, but was used by her to hire elemental creatures a long time ago.

At that time, in order to be lazy, she had already left her essence on the contract when it was made. In other words, the people who signed the master-servant contract were not two people, but three people.

The brave Charles, the priest Rachel, and——

Witch Lacey.

It was supposed to be a movie about two people, but now a third person's name has appeared.

The contract was reached, but it was reached in a strange form, just like as long as a line of code can run normally, then don't worry about it, just believe that hard work can make miracles happen.

As for how to deal with the master-servant relationship among the three people, the contract chose the most wonderful solution:

Since it is unclear who is the master and who is the servant among the three, why can't everyone be both the master and the servant?

As long as three people have the power of the master at the same time and perform the obligations of servants, there is no need to figure out who is the master and who is the servant.

In order to verify her shocking conjecture, the witch swallowed her saliva and tentatively called out to the hero:

"Ciel?"

This time she did not call the hero master, probably because the contract now determined that she was the master.

On the other hand, the hero, who didn't know what she was going to do, responded subconsciously:

"what happened?"

"Just call me and try."

"……it is good."

The brave man did not hesitate and shouted directly:

"Owner?"

Lacele guessed that he probably wanted to call her "Miss Witch", but the power of the contract changed his will, just like what happened to her just now, the wind direction reversed, and now she became the master.

After confirming her guess, Lacie left Charles, who was still confused, and turned to look at the contract lying quietly on the table.

Is it really genius?

Does it also have flexible bottom lines and judgment methods?

Lacey fainted.

This is not a contract at all, it should be renamed——

It should be called the Unsealed Secret Book!
