………………………………………………………………………

Hurrah, Jacques seemed to hear someone breathing heavily in his ears, and his breath and his heartbeat were so consistent: "Is this the sound of my breathing? Is it a sign that I can't resist the temptation of the devil?"

In the heavy breathing, more than ten seconds passed, Jacques exhausted all his strength, and said in a hoarse voice as if 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 completely submerged by the tide of love, and the other part was watching and blaming himself but unable to stop it.

"Mr. Jacques, you just need to sign a magic contract with me, not reveal my identity, turn a blind eye to the abnormalities found during the inspection, and not try to betray us after the ship sails and returns to Sturk..." Lu Sean still maintains an elegant smile and absolute vigilance. Knights with faith often go wrong at the critical moment when things are completed, "And I promise that when you can't rely on your own strength to become a knight in three years, I will provide you with the blood to inspire you." Even if you can't find me at that time, the Magic Council will help to fulfill it, which can be signed by Mr. Tom on behalf of the Council."

After finishing speaking, Lucien added: "We can also add to the magic contract: as long as our lives are not endangered, we will not harm you and your companions on this sailboat."

Jacques took a few heavy breaths, raised his head, and looked into Lucien's eyes: "Well, you win, Cherry is my biggest weakness."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt that something in his heart was about to shatter, but after making a decision, the mixed emotions of hesitation, embarrassment, hope and daring to accept disappeared completely, 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 must be bright." While smiling, Lucien took out the prepared parchment from his arms with his right hand, and handed it to Jacques took it, and he took out the quill and "magic ink" from his pocket, and quickly wrote on it, using the mysterious magic contract format.

While writing, Lucien didn't look at the parchment, but kept staring at Jacques, his left hand didn't relax at all, and continued to hold it empty.

Jacques didn't care, looked down at the parchment in his hand, and said bitterly: "I have seen my future, which is a dark future. I have violated the faith and chivalry, and it is difficult for me to stimulate the power of my blood by myself. , and it is difficult to improve with medicine, let alone overcome the difficulty of the great knight. But as long as there is Cherry, even if it is an abyss, I will jump into it 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, following the spirit of chivalry is to find your own way and thus unite your will." , and then rely on will to stimulate blood power. What is your path? Is it to protect Miss Cherie and your own love? Then for this path, are you willing to abandon everything and accept the temptation of the devil? If you can, then I miss you You can also use your own will to stimulate the blood."

Jacques looked at Lucien in surprise: "Mysterious magician, your opinion on stimulating the power of blood is very different from my knight teacher, but it seems to make sense." Tom was equally strange and surprised, but Lucien didn't expect He also has an unusual understanding of the knightly path.

"I know a few high-ranking knights..." Lucien replied vaguely, it is impossible to say that he summed it up from what Natasha occasionally mentioned, "And in today's mainland, science, er, magic research It’s advancing by leaps and bounds and changing with each passing day. Even if you, Mr. Jacques, use potions to stimulate your blood power, it’s not a dead end. Maybe a few years or ten years later, a magician will develop a better potion formula, which can help you make up for the foundation and continue to advance. Woolen cloth?"

After speaking, Lucien waved the quill a few times, and signed his name at the end of the contract.

In this situation, Jacques of course hoped to hear words to strengthen 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 make a person up to a second-level knight, such as Vaori Grand Duke. In future potion formulas, maybe there is hope for the breakthrough you mentioned, Mr. Magician. Uh, Lucien Evans, hehe, you actually have the same name as Cherry’s favorite talented musician? But He is an uncompromising warrior against darkness, and you..."

When Jacques turned the parchment and was about to read the terms carefully, he was surprised to find Lucien's signature, but after he sighed, he continued to look at the contract. It didn't connect the two people at all. What about a great musician who is sought after everywhere? It may be an evil guy hiding in front of his eyes like a devil.

"Hehe." Lucien laughed dryly, the magic contract would have no effect without his real name. At the same time, he turned his head slightly to look at Tom, wondering if he guessed his identity? I had only used the surname Evans before.

If Gryneuf was here, thinking of Grace helping someone pass the note, thinking of the guy who sent someone to secretly find out that his name was Lucien Evans, and thinking of Grace being a student of a talented musician, I am afraid that the person in front of him would be sure. The guy is the famous musician, but I don't know if he mentioned to Tom that Grace helped deliver 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 respond.

Jacques read the contract several times, confirmed that there was no problem, then took Lucien's quill, and signed his name "Jacques Widge" in the lower right corner: "Mr. Evans, is this all right?"

Lucien nodded and asked Tom to sign his name, then took the magic contract in his hand, and his mental power spread out to completely wrap it.

A little bit of slight magical fluctuation appeared from the words on the parchment, turning into a light blue flame and burning slowly.

Since he didn't cast the spell by himself, Lucien could use his mental power to suppress the magic fluctuations and watch the parchment turn to ashes in the light blue flame.

When it was completely burned, Lucien suddenly felt that there was something invisible in his soul, and Jacques' expression became slightly dazed.

This is a sign of the establishment of the magic contract!

"The contract is established. If you violate it, you will be burned by the magic flame and destroy your soul." Lucien smiled and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Jacques, as if to celebrate the success of the cooperation, "Then we will not bother you, Mr. Jacques, to check the magic spell." It's time."

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 trained as a knight before, I always thought that I could be steadfast in the face of devils." Tempted, but now..."

Without finishing his sentence, he passed Lucien to check the deck next to the window.

Lucien and Tom watched him work seriously at the door.

"If you really want to violate the magic contract, you may be suppressed by the magic, Evans, aren't you afraid?" Tom asked in a low voice. He understands that the magic contract is not stable. For example, Lucien, as long as he is promoted to the middle level, he can rely on the strength of his soul to resist the soul flame damage brought by the magic contract.

Lucien replied in an inaudible voice: "The magic contract is just a formality. When he decides to sign it, I have great confidence that he will not violate it. As long as people's hearts are 'degenerate', it is difficult to face the 'light' again. It will only get deeper and deeper. Of course, there must be risks, but the risk is much smaller than the risk of casting magic, so in terms of probability, I can only choose the former."

"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 makes a decision by tossing a coin." Tom nodded and smiled, "The magic potion will be issued by the council, after all You 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 narrow room.

After Jacques left and nothing happened for an entire hour, Lucien let out a long breath. It seemed that he would not take the risk of telling the truth.

…………

In Viscount Wright's cabin.

The expensive porcelain cup of the Kingdom of Colette was thumped onto the carpet, where it shattered dully into countless small pieces.

"Waste, you are all waste, but let the murlocs snatch so many Hailan stones, and almost let people find those guys." Viscount Wright roared angrily.

In front of him, Graneuve and Tom stood straight, their heads bowed deeply.

Viscount Wright walked back and forth: "I want to know, why did the Kou Tao fish people know that we are transporting Hailan stones this time?! Glennuf, Tom, you have to find out."

Even if it occupied one-tenth of the wealth in Sturk City, such a serious loss caused Viscount Wright to distort his face.

"Yes, Lord Viscount." Graniuff and Tom answered without daring to raise their heads.

After Viscount Wright vented, his expression became grim: "Find a chance to get rid of that knight servant named Jacques. Anyway, the contract only stipulates that you can't do anything with the magician and Tom."

"Yes." Graneuve nodded vigorously.

"Wait, forget it, I don't want to make Cherie sad." Viscount Wright held his forehead and waved his hand wearily, "Hurry up and find out about Hailan Stone."

…………

In the following month, the weather became colder and colder, but since getting rid of the murloc attack, the fleet did not withstand any major storms or attacks, and successfully arrived at the "Port of Padre" in the Kingdom of Holm across the Strait of Storms.

On the penultimate floor, Lucien and the others, who returned to live after the cabins were repaired, stood quietly beside the wooden boxes carrying the goods, feeling equally turbulent.

Even a magician with rich experience and calmness like Lucien couldn't restrain the excitement and joy in his heart at this time. After countless dangers, he finally arrived in the Kingdom of Holm, and he could learn magic with peace of mind. As for the matter of "polluted sea area", Lucien is not greedy at all, and going there with his current strength is probably courting death.

"Evans, you lie down in the wooden box, don't be afraid when someone checks, don't do it." Tom pointed to the dozen or so empty long wooden boxes.

Lucien nodded. As an example, he stepped into the wooden box and lay down curled up, then watched as a layer of wooden boards came down, and the darkness fell, making it airtight and narrow.

The sound of the goods falling on the wooden boards was endless, Lucien thought amusedly: "This seems to be the situation of being buried in a coffin."

Filled with goods, another layer of planks, and then firmly nailed with iron nails.

In the darkness, after an unknown amount of time, when Lucien thought he would be in the ups and downs forever, the iron nails were pulled out, the boards were lifted, and someone began to check the goods.

Lucien, who was on high alert but did not take any action according to Tom's instructions, quietly listened to the sound of the goods being pulled, and then Jacques' voice appeared: "No problem."

The boards were covered again, and the bumpy feeling returned, until the cargo box was placed on the cold and damp ground.

Another long time passed, the boards were opened, the goods were taken out, the plywood of the compartment was pulled away, and the sun shone into the eyes of the vigilant Lucien.

Sitting up slowly, Lucien squinted his eyes and looked at the man opposite him.

This is a tall and straight young man wearing a white shirt, a brown vest, and a double-breasted black long coat. He is wearing a tall black top hat. In the unusually bright sunshine, he said with a bright smile: "Welcome To Holm, my companion on the magic path."

Lucien immediately relaxed, his depression completely disappeared, and he understood that a new chapter in his life had begun.
