Chapter 146: Neglected Things
When discussing the terms of the contract with Colma, Zheng Qing always felt as if he had overlooked something and was a little absent-minded. So much so that he almost forgot to add a 'two-way secrecy clause' to the clause, which means that the black cat needs to keep it secret for Colmar and her mysterious cause, and Colma needs to keep the existence of a talking black cat a secret.
Of course, this was eventually supplemented by the rat immortal's reminder - which also made Zheng Qing more wary of the fat mouse's purpose. As the saying goes, 'what you want to take, you must give it first', it is to help keep its own black cat secret, and it is to tie itself to Colma's chariot, what is the real purpose, it is very debatable.
When signing the deed, there is another small detail.
That's the question of real names.
Because Zheng Qing appeared as a black cat, he didn't want the identity of the wizard under the cat's skin to be known by the person and mouse in front of him - although Zheng Qing suspected that the rat immortal might know his identity - so when signing the contract, he insisted on using a cat's paw print instead of his real name to be branded on the parchment contract.
Colmar strongly disagrees with this.
"Just kidding!" the witch grabbed the contract, her arms raised high to prevent the black cat from taking it away, and asked menacingly, "If you were asked to print a cat's paw print on it, would it make any sense for us to sign this contract?
The paws are contaminated with the breath of other cats, so the degree of restraint on the black cat will naturally decrease a lot at that time, and from this point of view, Colma's suspicions are still somewhat justified.
The black cat's face turned red - although it was not red, others could not see it.
"I will never step on the place where other people have urinated! This is the principle!" The black cat also bared his teeth and grinned, his eyes glaring like copper bells: "Do you choose the place where others have when you walk?!"
A look of disgust immediately appeared on the witch's face.
Seeing that the conversation was about to develop in the direction of and pee, the rat fairy finally couldn't hold it anymore and coughed lightly, interrupting the argument between the scenes.
"Ahem," the rat immortal's cough was slightly sharp, which played a good role in interrupting at this time: "Everyone is from the first university, what can't you sit down and talk about? β
Colmar crossed her arms and snorted, no longer breathing.
The black cat also squatted down, and did not continue to show its teeth and claws at the witch, showing its fangs.
After a pause, the Rat Immortal saw that the two parties had no intention of continuing the discussion, and finally gave his suggestion: "If you feel that your real name is imprinted, you can sign a blood deed...... Of course, compared to the real name brand, the binding effect of the blood contract may be stronger, so you should be mentally prepared for this. β
The so-called blood pact, in fact, is a drop of blood in the place where the silent pact was originally signed, and this ancient magic has always been one of the most trusted ultimate means for wizards.
The black cat and the witch looked at each other and nodded slowly.
So, in the presence of the rat immortals, the black cat and Colma each slashed their palms, squeezed out a drop of blood, and landed on the tail of the contract. After two drops of blood fell, the parchment contract suddenly rose into a puff of green smoke, which turned into a cloud of ash in an instant.
After the contract was completed, and after feeling the power of the oath in the dark, the black cat finally stopped worrying about being picked by the rat fairy or the witch, and his mood suddenly relaxed a lotβin fact, his spirit has been tense since he fell from the tree, and the instincts of a feline and a wizard are frantically warning him, telling him how dangerous the mouse is, and that the witch has bad intentions.
Now, that fear has vanished with the contract.
The black cat was finally in the mood to start wondering what the thing he had been unable to remember before. It's just that despite his hard thinking, he still can't grasp the glimmer of light in his mind.
Until the rat immortal said a word.
"Okay, now that the contract has been signed, then the matter is settled. After the contract turned into ashes, the rat fairy shrunk again, commanded the big rats in red vests to carry his light man, turned around and turned back to the ruins of the building behind him, and waved his hand at the witch and the black cat behind him, and said:
"You should go back early...... I think you all slipped out while the Forbidden Demon Festival was in the greens. This is a moderately dangerous area of the Silent Forest, and it is still somewhat dangerous for you. β
"HOLY-SHIT!" the black cat roared with wide eyes and a low roar, slamming its paw on the trunk of a tree beside it, leaving several deep marks on the rejuvenating poplar.
He wasn't scolding the streets because of the dangers of the Silent Forest mentioned by the Rat Immortals. He's been through situations that are more dangerous than the current ones.
He just remembered what he had been ignoring.
That's why he had slipped into the woods in the first place to 'gather firewood', and now, when the black cat looked up at the sky, an alpaca rushed through him. Looking at the time, it is estimated that everyone has finished eating and making games, and maybe someone has already started clamoring to go home.
Zheng Qing could fully imagine the terrifying face of Downton, who was in charge of the spring outing, or his roaring roar.
"Are you worried about being scolded by the professor?" The slightly shrill voice of the rat fairy came from behind him, which sounded a little underwhelming: "Listen to the old man's advice, don't make excuses to evade responsibility - such as getting lost, helping the crocodile mother-in-law basking in the sun to pick her teeth, helping the mermaid sister cross the river - don't make these nonsense excuses." Then I mentioned that I couldn't use magic on the Forbidden Demon Festival, so I couldn't find my way home, etc. β
"If you say that, you should take a trip to the Circle of Conscience. β
"I directly said that I was greedy for fun, and I ran too deep. Admit punishment and admit punishment. The safest. β
"Believe me, this is the golden words of an old man. β
The black cat stopped, turned his head, and looked at the figure of the rat fairy fading away, looking like a ghost. How did it know what was going on in its mind?
"Do you know who I am?" Seeing that the rat fairy was about to disappear into those tattered stone carvings, the black cat finally couldn't help it, stared at the amber eyes, and asked loudly.
With his excellent eyesight, he could clearly see that the corners of the rat fairy's mouth seemed to be curled.
"Zi said, don't say, don't say......" The aftermath lingered, and the light opinion of the fat mouse had disappeared into the depths of this suspected long-abandoned Confucian Temple. Only the black cat with a gloomy face and another thoughtful witch were still standing in place.
