Renaus warily led me to rejoin Nalesha, on the way her body shuddered even having an accidental frontal eye contact with me.

"Eh, you don't have to do that ......"

I tried to smile at her with raising the corners of my mouth, but they involuntarily twitched.

"Ugh, why do you care so much? I do think that it is the best option." Emile yawned at the other end of the inn and said lazily, "I can teach you all the other magic, expect for this one 'Three Life Chain Knot' I've never even heard of."

"Maybe it's because it's so crap that you've never heard of it ......"

I weighed the light scroll in my hand and sighed helplessly.

"I think it's worth it, it's a rare type of contract magic."

Noticing my puzzled mood, Emile organized her language and told me after further consideration -

"Contract magic is a very peculiar type of magic, it is not launched by magic itself, anyone who knows the spell can use it, it is not witnessed by both parties or another third party, it is witnessed by the Gods. The contract completed by the contract magic is guaranteed by the Gods, and the consequences will definitely be carried out. Besides, is there anyone else than the gods can do such a thing as overdrawing life expectancy?"

That doesn't change the fact that it's useless ......

I sighed deeply and looked at the green-robed male who had trotted all the way to my side.

Nalesha lifted the slanted bangs on her forehead and handed me the white scroll in her hand.

"The one I chose is the 'The Double' of the Guardian Arts, which is capable of exchanging objects of similar quality to a designated place."

"...... Well, it's impressive ......"

She heard my tone weak and raised an eyebrow, her dashing and heroic stance caused the two attendants around us to have a different look in their eyes.

"You look a little uncomfortable, what's wrong?"

"Molly Ann my sweetheart......"

Emile reminded me.

"Nothing! Let's go see the city lord, I heard there's a reward for mages who pass the middle rank."

"...... Hmm."

Nalesha nodded and seemed to bite her lower lip without thinking.

I didn't care, just followed the maid slowly towards the highest level of the magic tower, pondering how to question the city lord, Sicya's father.

First, to pretend to accept his reward, then I start with the city's abnormalities, then declare to him the mistake of doing so, and finally civilize him with modern spiritual cultivation, and if he refused to accept it, I let Emile out to enforce it.

Although it seems wrong to treat Emile like a dog.

"You won't forget that I can hear you ......"

she asked breathlessly in my ear.

Looking at the plain door that gradually enlarged in front of me, I became more and more excited. Nervously, I pinched a blood mark on my hand.

"The City Lord is not an easy person to get along with, I hope you can understand that."

Squire Renaus stopped at the door and said with slight hesitation towards us.

"Rather, if he was easy to get along with then it wouldn't fit the characterization I had in mind."

"Ha ......?"

Nalesha and I walked side by side towards the door and suddenly took my hand when there were still a few steps to go.

The soft and silky touch made my mind wander.

"Molly Ann sweetheart ...... cheated ......"

Emile cried out noisily.

"I'm not! For real, who am I cheating on!?"

While Emile and I were having our daily bickering, Nalesha's other hand slowly pushed open the door.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, her body slowly leaned back and ended up almost limp in my arms.

"Eh, Nale ......Tassili!?"

"Look here."

An eloquent, low voice came from directly in front.

Hearing that, I drifted off for a moment, ignoring Emile's warning to raise my eyes.

There it was, a tall blurred vague figure ......

His pupils emitting a purple glow carried an intimidating magic.

"Sleep."

A feeling of sleepiness that came from my heart rushed to my mind, the kind of sleepiness that almost equals to all the sleepiness I had accumulated in my life ......

"Molly Ann! Don't sleep!!!"

Sorry, Emile ......

I tried to open my eyes, but I could only feel my mind getting drowsier and drowsier.

I'm dragging you down -
