Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Nickname.
The feeling of being touched is like a brand.
The god's fingers exerted a little force, kneading the tender flesh, and his fingertips caressed the lines on the lips.
Su Cheng fell into great panic.
If it weren't for these actions, it wouldn't matter anymore.
But her life has begun to count down.
Su Cheng: "Your Highness——"
The fingers rolling on her lips suddenly increased their strength, and the fingertips pushed open her teeth and irresistibly invaded her wet and hot mouth.
His hand was too big, and he pressed down on the tip of her shivering tongue with one finger, his knuckles wedged between her molars, forcing her to keep her mouth open.
Su Cheng tasted the smell of ink, saltpeter and rust, mixed with hints of blood.
A burning breath surged up, like golden sand pouring into the throat.
The bent long fingers scraped the upper palate, and the released tongue tip wanted to push away, but the other party took the opportunity to clamp it and gently rub the soft tongue surface.
It's too hot.
Su Cheng felt as if he had swallowed a ball of fire, like a horseshoe just out of a forge, or like melting sealing wax on a scroll.
This stopped all arguments and questions, sealing this unfair deal.
Su Cheng subconsciously wanted to push him, but their body sizes were too different, and when she raised her hand, she hit a pair of hot and hard abdominal muscles.
Su Cheng: “…”
His fingertips sank into the well-defined muscles, and the honey-brown skin was smooth as steel wrapped in silk.
Sliding along the lines, one can clearly feel the direction of each texture and the endless power contained therein.
The red gold chain hanging from the waist was swaying slightly, and the cold metal knots rubbed against the trembling back of the hand.
Her fingertips touched the slender ring.
Beneath the gorgeous and intricate waist chain, there is also a belly button ring with exquisite patterns, adorned with teardrop-shaped gems, like a few falling tears.
"Before sunset," the god whispered softly, "I will wait for you."
No!
Su Cheng thought desperately.
At that moment, she could feel her body becoming heavy, as if some invisible shackles bound her.
The deity withdrew his finger and looked up at the shop counter.
He extended his arms in an elegant and slightly exaggerated farewell salute.
Su Cheng did not see this scene.
But her perceived world soon changed.
The light and shadow completely disappeared.
Su Cheng leaned against the shelf, breathing heavily, sweat running down his hair and face, and the fabric from the collar to the back of his clothes was almost soaked.
She bit her lip hard, trying to make sure it wasn't a dream.
There seemed to be some warmth still on his lips, and then he was pierced by a stinging pain.
Oops.
This seems to be true.
——Why why why!
The chatter in the store died down, and the two people at the counter looked over.
"Hey," the shop owner said, bewildered. "Have you contracted some disease? Don't die in my shop!"
Kai stared at her silently, his eyes briefly lingering behind her before landing on her face.
There was a hint of concern in those sharp golden eyes, "Are you okay?"
Su Cheng shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and covered her eyes with her hands.
In the perceptual world, the existence of the fire elves is so vivid, like a torch burning in the darkness.
Their heat, state, and number were all reflected in his mind with incredible clarity.
The thunder element and wind element next to it are exactly the same.
She could feel that there were a great number of elemental spirits bound in the magic circle, far more than it seemed.
Enough to complete various large spells.
Su Cheng couldn't help but move his fingers.
The restriction on the wind element's magic circle suddenly collapsed, turning into countless golden light particles, and the bound wind elves screamed and scattered.
Some of them ran towards her happily, and the smoky green wind drew arc-shaped trajectories, condensing into wind blades around her.
Su Cheng: “…”
The boss behind the counter slammed his hands in shock and said, "Only talents of the highest rank or higher can break the restrictions of this soul-binding magic array—"
The boss looked at her as he spoke, his cloudy eyes gleaming, "Little girl, do you have a teacher?"
Su Cheng was in no mood to talk, so he just evaded the question: "Yes."
The boss curled his lips and sat back down. "Ten gold coins, or you can repair my magic circle yourself."
"Okay," Su Cheng took out ten gold coins from his pocket, "I'm sorry."
The boss snorted, reached out and grabbed the gold coins, and threw out the other materials he had sorted out earlier, "Get out of here."
After saying that, she went back to the counter and no longer cared about what was happening outside.
Su Cheng walked over with a heavy heart and wanted to pick up the box containing various medicinal materials, but found that he couldn't lift it at all.
Su Cheng: “?”
It looks like it weighs only about 20 or 30 kilograms at most?
"Some of the containers inside are made of special materials and are slightly heavier—"
Kai leaned over and picked up the box with one hand, "Let me take it."
Su Cheng sighed, "If I can survive tonight, I will try to practice Dou Qi, I swear."
The black-haired man glanced down at her, his eyes unclear in the dim room.
After a while, he raised his other hand and gently grasped the girl's thin shoulders. "If you are sincere, I can teach you everything before we reach the imperial capital."
Su Cheng was surprised, "Huh?"
He curled his lips and said, "As long as you don't mind, after all, I'm not a professor or elder from a famous university."
Su Cheng sneered, "What kind of person is that——"
In a way, she even "killed" one of those people.
Although she didn't do it herself.
Su Cheng's expression changed again as he spoke. Thinking of the deal he had made with the God of Contract, he suddenly felt cold all over.
What if I fail to offer him an oathbreaker before sunset today?
How is the so-called oath-breaker defined?
Someone who betrayed his oath?
Looking for a married man who cheated on his wife?
They must have made that promise at their wedding.
Looking for someone who sells counterfeit and shoddy goods?
They may have violated the requirements of the contract.
Looking for someone who is corrupt and takes bribes?
They all took an oath when they took office as imperial officials.
……wrong!
And special talent!
There are many kinds of magical talents, but generally speaking, the so-called special talents refer to the level of elemental resonance.
——Low, medium, high, and special.
Among those who resonate with others, nine out of ten have low-level talents, those with medium talents are rare, those with high talents are one in a thousand, and those with special talents are even rarer.
Su Cheng gave up the idea of going to a brothel to find married clients.
The God of Contract gave her a big problem.
If the transaction could not be completed before sunset, Su Cheng had no doubt that his fate would be the same as Elder Li and that schoolmate.
"gentlemen--"
Su Cheng held the broad and strong hand on his shoulder and looked up at the man in front of him.
"The last line of the song Sasha sang earlier, 'Tetia's Knell,' goes, 'Sophists and deceivers are offering you a gift.' What does that mean? Offering the souls who have broken their oaths to the God of Contracts? Right?"
Kai nodded slowly.
According to the story told in the lyrics, the God of Contract encourages those favored by God to play with words and clauses to induce more people to become "oath breakers."
Su Cheng pondered for a while, then suddenly patted the back of his hand.
"By the way, since this place doesn't have it, let's not look for Succubus Blood for now. I'm leaving now! You continue shopping, Mr. Captain!"
Kai was a little confused. He paused and clasped her shoulders with his long fingers, pressing her in place.
"Are you anxious?"
"Yeah," Su Cheng nodded vigorously, "I'm planning to give myself a 'Wind Step' so I can run a little faster and even climb over walls."
He was stunned for a moment, "Where are you going?"
Su Cheng didn't want to hide it from him, "Magic Guild."
The moment she finished speaking, the man in front of her suddenly leaned over and put his arms around her waist.
The damp, musty smell of the underground street was blown away by the strong wind.
He held her in one hand and flew through the alley.
Amidst the whistling wind, the surrounding scenery was stretched and distorted—
The orange candlelight on the stalls, the dark blue magic crystal lamps and the luster of the runes on the shop signs all melted into colorful molten steel at this moment, scattering into tiny blocks of color on the retina.
She saw a stall owner light his pipe, and the flying sparks turned into scarlet afterimages, dragging out a flame tail like a meteor.
Another stall owner was demonstrating a magic prop. A purple and red lightning ball spread out in his palm, and the light threads like fireworks were torn into fibers, reflecting in the grimy yellow window of the shop opposite.
Su Cheng didn't have time to capture more information.
She clutched her sun hat tightly. The things that came into her mind in the previous second had not yet been analyzed, and the next second she was brought out of the criss-crossing underground blocks.
This is not the way we came.
The crowded and densely packed houses in the lower town, the gardens planted with all kinds of fruits and vegetables, the walls covered with verdant vines, everything turned into fragmented images in the pupils.
She heard the screams of passers-by on the wind.
The chest I leaned against was broad and hot, and the warmth that should have penetrated my skin was blown away by the strong wind.
In a flash, they were standing in the square of the central city, surrounded by various workshops and shops, and in front of them were two magnificent towers facing each other from north to south.
That's the Magic Guild and the Fighter Guild.
Because of the complete facilities and excellent conditions, the two major guilds have lent out their own territory and rented part of the area to colleges and universities that come to recruit students.
At this time, there were countless carriages parked in the square.
Young masters and young ladies in gorgeous clothes got off the carriages, which were inlaid with gold and silver, and had family crests printed on beaded curtains and embroidered screens. The servants beside them were holding boxes filled with magic props and glittering high-grade warrior weapons.
Or the tung oil on the canvas-covered pinewood body sparkled in the sunlight, and the young man who came hurriedly from other places, carrying his suitcase alone, walked towards the guild building with full of anticipation.
Occasionally, you can see magical beasts on bridles, eagles flapping their wings, and Pegasus beating the ground with their hooves.
Because there were too many people around, some monsters were not in good condition, but because they had received strict training, they did not get out of control.
"...Maybe this will be faster?"
Su Cheng heard a voice in his ear.
Her spine was pressed against the man's thick chest, and she could almost feel the resonance of his voice.
"One point?" Su Cheng blinked. "It should be 100 million points."
"Really?" Kai was silent for two seconds. "I don't know your level of magic, so I can't jump to conclusions."
They stood at the edge of the crowded square. He bent down and put her down. Perhaps because he was afraid that she would lose her balance, he still placed one hand loosely supporting her waist.
Su Cheng turned around and looked at him.
If she didn't have anything urgent to do, she would definitely have a lot to say.
"...Thank you, Mr. Captain."
As Su Cheng said this, a feeling of sadness suddenly surged in his heart.
She may only have a few hours left to live.
"If," Su Cheng whispered, "if we can meet again tomorrow, can I join your mercenary group?"
Kai lowered his eyes and looked at her.
He stared at her with his cold and calm golden eyes, his gaze falling on her jaw. He gently raised his hand, as if wanting to touch the corner of her mouth.
Then he lowered his arm again, "I thought you already were."
Su Cheng looked up and looked at him, "Huh?"
The latter raised his eyebrows slightly, "You call me captain."
Su Cheng was stunned. "That's just some kind of nickname—"
Kai: “?”
Su Cheng slapped his forehead, "That's what I mean by treating you as a friend—"
Then he turned and ran away.
As a result, he had not taken two steps before the man behind him grabbed his shoulders and pulled him back.
The girl's jet-black curly hair was a little messy, and perhaps because of nervousness and fear, her face was pale as if she was lacking blood, only her lips were particularly red.
The bitten lip seemed to be slightly swollen, like a ripe berry that was almost dripping with juice.
Kai wiped the blood from her mouth, "I wish you all the best."
Then he let go of my hand.
