Chapter 50
Author: Captain of the Youth First Crazy Squad
"—Little devil, there is a limit to joking, but it's just a little bit stronger, and it's a lot bigger when you say it."
"There's no other way, but a fair heads-up."
"Hmph, Betty's four hundred years of life are not in vain, if you have the ability, you can do it all..."
Before Beatrice could finish speaking, Luo Mo suddenly snapped his fingers, and the door that Ben closed was suddenly opened.
A group of people waiting outside the door rushed in and surrounded her.
.................
.................
Priscilla with the Yang Sword, the one-armed warrior with the sword drawn, the canine with the machete, the small demi-human triplets, and Anastasia with the white fox by her side.
Seven rare experts poured into this forbidden library, which was littered with books.
Seeing everyone with unwilling faces written on their faces, but cooperating with Luo Mo to surround herself, Beatrice's expression couldn't hold back for a while.
Although she couldn't figure out what these had to do with Luo Mo, she put them down temporarily, stomped on the ground hard, and shouted at him angrily:
"....This is a heads-up?! What about the heads-up?! Are so many people picking me up?!"
"As expected of a great elf, it's amazing to understand what I mean so quickly, and even the explanation is omitted."
"You, you... despicable!!"
Even if she thinks that as long as she is in the library of forbidden books, no matter who she is due out with, she will not lose easily, but so many simple characters appear, but she does not dare to say that she can win.
"This is a righteous siege."
"I dare to say, obviously no one is willing to help you."
He kept trying to exploit the loopholes in the contract, but finally understood what Luo Mo meant by the "final interpretation right" added at the end of the contract. Anna, who was forced to give up the anti-water, sneered at him.
"That's not true, at least Ram and Rem really helped me."
"Is that so? They were just deceived by you, right?" Although facing Beatrice with the Yang Sword, Priscilla also sneered:
"If you fully understand who you are, you may be stabbed in the opposite direction right away."
"Everything is possible, and it's not impossible, but...it doesn't matter."
He had doubts about his own personality. After all, he didn't even think he was a trustworthy person, but he nodded nonchalantly.
He believed in Ram and Rem, and even if they were stabbed, he wouldn't care.
This indifferent attitude made Prasir unhappy, but he was unable to resist him. In the end, he could only ignore him and ignore him.
"You...it turns out to be a ghost. Sooner or later, I will cut off your horn." Ricard, the dog man of the mercenary leader, glanced at his unicorn, this blunt and outspoken rude, Directly issued a declaration of cutting corners.
Among the three demi-human sisters and brothers of the deputy head of the surrounding area, two of them disregarded the only calm brother to stop them, and nodded repeatedly to express that there was a chance, and they must bring him the shame of the ghost clan.
"It's really too much, obviously we are on the same front now, and you have not signed a contract, so don't have unrealistic illusions? By the way... My horn has been cut off. It's been broken a few times, if you guys want to backstab me, it's better to change it another way."
He didn't make Luo Mo angry at all about the refreshing hostility around him, he even seemed very happy, and kindly reminded that it was meaningless to cut horns.
And the reason why he is so generous is entirely because he hears these, but it is only the wailing of the defeated dog, and it can even make him a little stronger. lament.
So....he naturally didn't need to get angry about it.
Beatrice, who didn't know the truth, was surprised by his good temper, then glanced at the people around him, sighed, put down her hands, withdrew her magic, and said very cheerfully:
"Forget it.... It's better to finish it sooner than half-dead tired."
"...Er? What? What's the situation? Why is it different from what I imagined?"
"If you're a man, hurry up and stop talking!"
It didn't look like Beatrice, who was surrendering at all, raised her head and scolded him in turn, leaving him in a mess in the wind.
..........
In the face of Beatrice's simple and straightforward surrender, Luo Mo must have been happy, but now he is not very happy.
Because he clearly intends to beat people, and now this makes him feel a very awkward feeling... Unspeakable uncomfortable.
It's as if you used to molest others, but the person who molested was happy but found that the other party didn't produce any negative emotions, and even wanted to tease yourself in turn?
After a little confusion, he shook his head and said:
"Forget it, forget it... Since you want to surrender, then we can be friendly and conclude a contract of equality and mutual assistance."
As soon as he said these nonsense words, he deeply understood his contract, and the victims who had no friendship, equality, and mutual assistance couldn't help but look sideways, all complaining about their inability.
Obviously she should not know about his past evil deeds, but Beatrice was equally angry, with a cold emotion in her eyes, she said sharply:
"Betty doesn't want any contract! Hurry up and kill Betty! Kill Betty immediately! . . . Even if you can, Betty can be patient."
"...that? Miss Beatrice, I'm actually a good person, and I don't intend to kill, okay?"
If Beatrice is killed, Emilia, Ram, and Rem are hard to say, so the other party's death request caught Luo Mo a little off guard:
"I'm not going to kill you, why don't you just live and praise my greatness?"
"no!"
"...Are you a person with very high self-esteem, so you can't accept surrender? Can you please sign the contract first, then go outside and sit with Parker and they have a chat, don't act like I'm forced to death Like you, how about slowly committing suicide according to your own preferences?"
In the face of another weird person, Luo Mo turned to persuade the other party.... This strange experience is definitely the first time in his life for him.
"No... If it could be done, Betty would have done it long ago, and the elves can't even commit suicide...!"
"Uh, it's the first time I've heard of it, but...why? Ah, I'm just curious why you want to die."
"Of course it's to end Betty from this eternal contract, to end this boring eternity, and to free Betty...." Beatrice smiled miserably, took out a knife from the side and handed it to him:
"Although Betty hates people like you, but now there is no choice, let you be Betty's 'that person'."
"So that's the case, that person is not referring to a lover, a friend or something, but the person who killed you? By the way.... What's the situation??"
Luo Mo could say that a considerable part of what Beatrice said was incomprehensible, and the only part he understood was.... The other party seemed to dislike him and let him kill him?
The strange development made Luo Mo feel a pain in his head, and the onlookers nearby were also confused, but at this time...
Rem, who was originally guarding the gate, brought Emilia and Parker in, and Parker, who had a brief understanding of the scene, was responsible for explaining Beatrice's situation.
.................
.................
Parker didn't know much about the details. The only thing he knew was that Beatrice had been bound by the contract.
Beatrice is an artificial great elf created by Echidona, the lust witch, who made a verbal contract with her before her death.
The content of the contract is also very simple, that is, let Beatrice keep her knowledge in this forbidden library, and when the contract mentions the degraded version of the Book of Wisdom, there will be "that person" who can inherit the knowledge of the lust witch Appear.
Just like Luo Mo's original idea, that person should be Beatrice's lover, friend, etc., who will give Beatrice happiness, and regard Beatrice as the first in his heart, as the first object of consideration, the most important person.
When that person appears, the contract is over.
But...the book of wisdom that describes Beatrice's future has been lost for a long time, and it has been almost 400 years since it was lost.
As the guardian of knowledge, Beatrice has been managing the library of forbidden books for 400 years. During these 400 years, she just obeyed the contract and waited for the passage of time.
Four hundred years of boring life, four hundred years of waiting in this forbidden library, is enough to make anyone despair, including Beatrice of course... So now she only looks forward to death.
After listening to a lot of understanding, Luo Mo, who was still largely confused, couldn't help interrupting before Parker finished speaking:
"...Wait, if there is no real contract, it can only be considered a verbal agreement, right? You don't need to follow it so thoroughly, right?"
"The contract is absolute, even if it's just verbal... It's the same for elves." Parker spread his furry hands and gave an answer that Luo Mo couldn't accept.
Since it is not compulsory, why should it persist for four hundred years? Pursuing the "that person" who put her first is not the first, right? Even if there is no way to inherit knowledge, it should not be a problem.
....are elves all super dead brains? Luo Mo couldn't help being so suspicious, and at the same time thought of something, he sighed and walked behind Beatrice and raised his long knife:
"Since your request is like this, then as a good person who can respond to your needs, I will satisfy you."
"--no!"
Parker didn't stop, just closed his eyes, but Emilia rushed up to stop it, but Beatrice reached out and sent a magical shock to knock it out, her lips trembling and her eyes closed:
"...For the time being, say thank you to you...Please."
"Okay, then I'm welcome."
Without leaving his hand, he slashed towards Beatrice's head with one knife.
Just hearing the muffled sound of "Bang!", the young girl lost consciousness and fell to the ground on the spot, and the back of her head also swelled up.
The powerful big elf, just like this... was knocked unconscious by the back of the knife.
Everyone at the scene made him stupid, and Emilia, who only got up from the ground, didn't respond, and asked:
"...Didn't you say kill?"
"why?"
"Didn't you agree?"
"Have I promised to kill her? You guys are so strange. It's so useful...cough...such a poor elf, it's too inhuman to kill such a poor elf?"
Luo Mo, who accidentally said what was in his heart, hugged him with a hearty smile and walked out of the room directly.
"What are you going to do with Betty?" Parker looked at him and made a frown.
"This guy doesn't seem to really want to die. Since he has forced a contract like this, it would be better to have her sign it while she is in a coma. Even if she was forced to write it while she was in a coma, it will not violate the character of an elf. right?"
"—Are you a devil!"
"It's such an overrated evaluation, I'm obviously doing good deeds... oh, yes, you guys can help me take out all the books here later, and then destroy this other dimension, so that she can even The most important place in the verbal agreement and the place to stay all the time is gone."
Luo Mo shrugged and left here under the stunned gaze of everyone.
For this big elf who is obviously weaker than it looks, and his mental age is definitely not old, he actually has the confidence to rely on "mouth cannons" to heal and influence the other party, but... he is too lazy to do things that are too troublesome.
Since there are very convenient shortcuts to take, there is no need to spend more time, right?
.................
I learned from Parker that Beatrice, as a great elf, still has quite powerful magic power... But those are all one-offs.
Because the artificial elf can only absorb magic power from the air or the contractor, and she is much weaker than Parker and can only absorb it from people. The magic power accumulated now is all secretly sucked from others in the past four hundred years.
To put it simply, if it is used up at one time, it will not create more magic power by itself, so.... It is quite tasteless for Luo Mo.
Although he has a lot of magic power, ghost transformation can absorb a lot of magic power, but if he attacks with all his strength, he will consume a lot of magic power, and then sharing the magic power with others is equivalent to weakening himself to a certain extent.
therefore.....
"Rem, you sign a contract with her." Rem, who was helping to write a paper contract on the desk, raised his head blankly:
"Huh? Rem here??"
"Although I can't say it directly, it is more rude and wasteful than Ram's precision in controlling magic. It is more suitable for a magic master to help you use magic."
"but....."
"It's alright, since she wants to rely on death to escape the verbal agreement, now that there is a contract on paper, she will definitely be willing to accept this step... Of course, she may refuse for a while or send it for a while out of face. Temper, quarrel for a while, but it's not a problem, time will let her accept you."
"...Since Carlos said so, it must be so."
Despite some hesitation, Rem had no doubts and accepted Betty as her supplementary combat power.
Next, they wrote a paper contract in triplicate, then... wiped some blood on Beatrice's index finger, and pressed them one by one.
In this way, a higher-level paper contract is completed than a verbal agreement.

He tried to cut Beatrice's hand, but couldn't even squeeze out a drop of blood. In the end, Luo Mo could only bleed himself and add Beatrice and Rem's fingerprints, so that the paper contract was completed.
But Luo Mo looked at the contract in triplicate, and after thinking about it, he lay down on the table and added one. Beatrice needs to obey her request completely, and she also pressed a fingerprint to try it out. What will Triss think of this when she wakes up.
Seeing that what Luo Mo added to the contract was more like the content of the master-servant contract than the contract she signed with Beatrice, Rem couldn't help but want to shake her head:
"Doing this....isn't it good?"
"It's okay, this is her retreat."
"Ah.... retreat?"
"If she is an elf, there is no way she can accept the contract she was forced to sign, then I will announce that I will give up her 'ownership', so that she can accept it better psychologically. contract with you."
"But if she accepts it?"
