The comeback point... ugh.
I want it too.
Aozaki Aoko complained helplessly in her heart - the power of magic is in her body.
This was a fact that she and Youzhu had always known.
But the question is, what is the key?
The only hint her grandfather gave was "when she becomes a qualified magician." So what exactly does it take to be a qualified magician?
Thinking of this, she sighed softly and suddenly felt a headache.
"Generally speaking, the fastest way to master a certain magic is to understand its principles."
There is a path called Youyouzhu in Jiuyuan Temple.
Uh, grasp the principle... Spare me some time, you don't even look at what kind of brain I have.
This was the first thought that came to Aozaki Aoko's mind.
At this time, Victor, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was even more speechless. Grandfather Aozaki didn't even understand what the fifth law was, and you still expect Aozaki Aoko to understand it?
The principle is definitely not the key.
So what is the key?
Victor narrowed his eyes, trying to recall the plot in his mind.
If, if according to the original work, it was the death of Shizuki Sojuro that stimulated Aoko's ability to use magic.
The prerequisite for mastering this power...could it be Love?
Hiss, impossible, that's ridiculous.
Victor held his chin, thinking quietly.
At this moment, the doorbell rang outside the hall. Shizuki Sojuro, who had just seen off the priest, stood up and opened the door consciously.
He walked in silence, as if he understood the difficulties everyone was facing now, so he didn't intend to trouble anyone and did his best to do everything he could.
It was at this time.
A slight flash of thought appeared in his mind, and he seemed to have grasped something, but also seemed not to have grasped it - he stared at the figure of Shizuki Sojuro, trying to see something, but when the other party opened the door, he was suddenly stunned.
Standing outside the door was a blond boy.
Chapter 82: Take it off for me.
Victor had never actually seen Beowulf's werewolf form, but for some reason, when he saw the incredibly handsome guy in front of the door, he recognized him almost at first sight.
A moment later, Aozaki Aoko limped down the stairs with the help of Youzhu, walked to the front of the table with gritted teeth, and said viciously: "What are you doing here?!"
On the other side, Victor and Kuonji Yuzu also sat down, frowning and looking at the young man who suddenly came to them, with some vigilance.
That’s right, the one who suddenly came to visit the Kuonji mansion was none other than the golden wolf, Luger Beowulf, who had put Aozaki Aoko and Arizuma in such a mess last night.
I have to say, after Aozaki Touko came, Golden Wolf came. If you didn't know, Victor would have thought that the magic world had a rule of going to the opponent's lair to mark the ground before fighting.
However, unlike the other three who were wary, Beowulf seemed quite excited about this new "place".
He looked left and right, and soon his shining eyes fell on Victor.
"I'm here to sign an agreement."
He sat upright and looked at Victor as he explained in a serious manner.
"Agreement? What agreement."
Youzhu frowned slightly, and saw the other party immediately excitedly took out a piece of parchment from behind - it had a very ancient aura and was stamped with runes (Norse) that represented ancient witnesses.
"This is……"
Everyone looked at each other and looked at the content above.
The content was very simple. It first told in Orange's serious and slightly helpless tone the reason why Beowulf had made a contract with her. It was because he thought it would be interesting to work with a magician. However, because of yesterday's fight, Beowulf's own will shifted and he found a more interesting guy.
In other words, this guy wants to change his master.
Several people were slightly stunned, looked at the young man humming a tune opposite them, and looked down in surprise.
Due to the original promise, Aozaki Touko did not intend to go against Beowulf's will, but no matter what, the original contract had stipulated that helping her win was the most basic condition. In the contract, Aozaki Touko frankly admitted that the main purpose of the contract with the Golden Wolf was to deal with her grandfather and her old friend, the witch Kuonji Yuzu.
Now that Aozaki's grandfather has made it clear that he is not a threat, there is now another person, Victor.
So, Aozaki Touko made a request that if Beowulf wanted to violate the agreement, he must be able to help her deal with the two of them clearly.
"So..." Victor finally looked at the terms of the contract - the other party would condition Beowulf not to participate in the war in exchange for Victor and Kuonji Arizuma's inability to participate in the war.
Is this going to be a one-on-one duel between Aozaki Touko and Aozaki Aoko? !
"On the surface, it is definitely good for us."
Kuonji Yuju spoke quietly.
After all, for them, the Golden Wolf was an extraordinary force, and it seemed that it could not be defeated. If only two people were needed to contain it, it would definitely greatly increase their chances of winning and...
safety.
At least, this way, Victor would be 100% safe from danger.
But seeing such conditions, Victor frowned slightly.
"It's a good thing, but if we talk about it one-sidedly, without your help, what are the chances of Aoko defeating Orange?"
Almost 0 if there is no awakening magic.
"And the most important thing is not this." Victor pointed out directly: "Youzhu, you should know Orange better than me."
"She is not the kind of person who would throw away such a great advantage just for a so-called idea."
"Even if it seems that the opponent just limited the variables and narrowed down the large-scale advantage to a simple positional advantage like her over Aoko, there is a more reasonable explanation, but she doesn't need to do this."
For Orange, the safest way is to just attack with the dragon in the face. Why bother?
Is it really because of the Golden Wolf?
Victor glanced at the werewolf wandering around opposite him. I’m afraid that’s not the case.
"Um……"
Hearing this, Kuonji Yuju nodded quietly, and suddenly said: "She may have other helpers."
"That's right!" Aozaki Aoko seemed to have come to her senses and added, "Don't forget the guy who invaded the center of the barrier that day."
"It seems like they are creating a one-on-one environment, but in fact they are trying to seal off the opponent's variables as much as possible?"
Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu fell into deep thought. Seeing Victor and the other two were lost in thought, Beowulf suddenly widened his eyes and became a little anxious!
It raised its hands with a snap and shouted, "No! I can guarantee that there is absolutely no third helper on Orange's side!"
"If that's what you're worried about! I can change the conditions so that we only allow Orange to participate in the battle!"
"Huh? Are you sure?"
Victor was slightly stunned and asked suspiciously: "Do you have the right to change the contents of the contract?"
"Of course." Beowulf sat there obediently and said honestly: "As long as it does not violate Orange's original intention and main purpose, I can make a few changes."
"The original intention and main purpose..."
Victor stared at it deeply. If it was just a one-on-one fight, then it would be impossible... No, it was not impossible either.
If Orange had a fatal blow against Aoko, or could directly seize the magical means.
Then it is normal to make such a contract in order to prevent being disturbed during the seizure... But... this is not a novel, and Orange is not a so-called time traveler, so she doesn't have similar plug-ins, right?
"But anyway, it seems we have no choice."
Kuonji Yuzu was still inclined to agree to the other party.
"Even if we don't agree, we are at an absolute disadvantage."
"really."
Victor nodded. In fact, whether he agreed or not would not affect the situation... He thought helplessly in his heart. After all, if Aoko was not helpful, he would still have to rely on Altluchi in the end.
But Aozaki Touko definitely didn't know about this, so he always suspected that the other party suddenly gave up the advantage and was plotting something.
Well... he never believed in any benefits that came to his door.
especially……
Victor looked at the werewolf with a pair of calm eyes, looking for loopholes in his words: "Come to think of it, what did you say at the beginning? You want to change your master, right?"
"Yes!" Beowulf was slightly stunned. Seeing that it was Victor, he immediately said excitedly: "If possible, I would like to sign a contract with you."
Sign a contract with me...then...hmm?
And me?!
Suddenly, Victor lost his composure. He looked at the other person in astonishment: "With me?"
"Yes, with you." Beowulf blinked.
Hiss, Victor fell silent.
His heart was deeply moved.
He suddenly felt that even if this was a conspiracy, even if this conspiracy would lead to the failure of the mission, it seemed as if...
Not bad?
Although the copy is not real, don't forget that after his copy is upgraded, he can take out a piece of loot, so the familiar that has signed a contract should also be considered a loot, right?
What's more, with the existence of Arteluluqi, what conspiracy can he be afraid of? !
I don't want Arteluqi to take action because I'm afraid that the evaluation of completing the mission will be reduced, which will lead to a decrease in the mission reward!
And the overall value of a golden wolf is not lower than the reward for clearing a level, right? !
Well, it seemed he had no reason to object.
Jiuyuan Temple Yuju stared at Victor quietly, and the next second she moved her quiet eyes away and looked at the door.
Originally, according to her idea, if it really came to a point where they had no other choice, the only way for the three of them would be to rely on Victor's strength, which was barely enough to deal with the Golden Wolf, to hold the opponent back.
Then she and Aoko teamed up to defeat or even kill Aoko as quickly as possible, and then turned back to support Victor.
But in this case...
Yeah.
Kuonji Yuzu breathed a sigh of relief, at least she didn't have to worry about it anymore.
So she silently closed her mouth, looked away, and waited for others to make the decision.
Only Aoko was left, looking at Victor on the left and at Kuonji Yuzu on the right.
Look... look, why are they silent?
No, you two should talk!
Why did they all shut up at the critical moment?
Finally, she took a deep breath, stood up with her hands on her hips, looked down at Beowulf and said, "A battle agreement, right?! Okay, give it to me and I'll sign it!"
Damn Orange, you really treat me like a weakling!
Although I am indeed soft... Aozaki Aoko bit her lower lip angrily, but don't think you can win too easily!
……
The name of the werewolf Beowulf was given by Aozaki Touko, and according to Beowulf, he had already terminated the contract with Aozaki Touko when he left.
The other party seemed to have anticipated that Victor and his team would not be able to refuse this proposal.
But Victor still felt something was wrong.
Well, there is no rush to sign a new contract. I will ask Arteluqi for help tomorrow. It would be best to sign a more advanced contract directly.
After all...if it was really this naughty kid who was playing tricks and going on strike, causing Aozaki Touko to have to choose this bad plan...
Then the contract signed with this naughty child cannot be too equal.
"You go upstairs first." Victor looked at the werewolf who stayed behind and scratched his head with some discomfort.
