Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Hug me a little longer.
Su Cheng touched his neck and felt as if there was an invisible chain there, which was breaking as the oath-breaker was sacrificed.
She seemed to have unloaded a huge burden and felt extremely relaxed for a moment. She listened to the laughter of the wind element in the air and moved her fingers.
A slight breeze surged over in an instant, swirling and twisting between the fingers, and occasionally a green light flashed by.
They clung to her with affection and obedience.
...seems worth it.
Su Cheng thought so.
No.
This is a very dangerous idea.
She knew the plot, the "Countess's" temperament and special talents, and was able to take advantage of them.
Otherwise it would be difficult to find suitable offerings before sunset.
But--
Su Cheng looked at the wind dancing between his fingers, sensed the presence of the elemental elves, and became a little shaken again.
Every elemental mage would be attached to this feeling, right?
If the God of Contract can give her more power, and the price is just to sacrifice the Oathbreaker, then it seems to be a good deal?
...There are definitely more than one or two people like the young earl who go back on their words and break their promises. It can even be said that there are many of them.
It is not difficult to find such people. As long as you don't let them know that they are favored by God, you can make them fall into the trap.
No.
Su Cheng rejected this idea again.
It turns out that the God of Contracts' deals are all based on unfair terms. He will most likely think that you have reached an agreement after giving you benefits.
Then he stated the conditions.
If she doesn't know the cost in advance, everything will be passive.
What if it wasn't a sacrifice to the oath-breaker?
What if more stringent conditions are added?
This time I was lucky.
What about next time?
If you fail, you will die.
Su Cheng leaned against the pillar of the guild's porch, thought about it for a while, and finally made up her mind that if the God of Contract talked to her again, she would not agree to him no matter what.
Although her mental state was a little dazed at the time, it could be said that she was not clear-headed at all and nodded in a daze.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel stomachache again.
What should I do?
If he first made her unconscious and then seduced her, how could she refuse?
"...I hope you've solved your problem, Miss Member."
A deep, rich voice came from above.
Su Cheng raised his head.
A handsome black-haired man stood beside the pillar, his bright golden eyes sparkling. The shadow of the porch eaves flowed across the ravine of his chest and along his undulating abdominal muscles.
His cloak trimmed with thick fur hung down at his side, covering half of his muscular arms. At this moment, his hands were folded across his chest, and his expression was unclear in the backlight.
"...Yeah," Su Cheng held his forehead with his hand, "It's solved, but I found there are more problems, and I have no idea how to deal with them."
"Well," Kai said without asking any further questions, "that's life."
Su Cheng was stunned for a moment.
She suddenly remembered that she had thought that everything would be fine if she killed Lin Yun, but that was just the beginning of trouble.
But if she had to do it again, she would still do it.
so--
Maybe she should be more optimistic, because this world is fucked up and it's impossible to live safely and comfortably no matter what.
Especially since she became the "protagonist".
"You're right!" Su Cheng jumped up, "Now let's go on an adventure together!"
Kai glanced at her and seemed about to laugh, "No problem, but before that, there are still some things to do."
So the two of them returned to the Mercenary Guild together.
After completing the formalities, Su Cheng officially joined the Black Flame Mercenary Group.
She flipped through her mercenary diary.
On the outer cover, there is an additional black flame pattern, which is the symbol of the mercenary group.
Su Cheng also just found out that there are actually more than 20 members of the Black Flame Mercenary Group, but they are scattered all over the continent.
The mercenary group is still B-level.
Although it is not as famous as Silver Wing's S-level, B-level is not low at all, and it can be hung outside any mercenary guild.
If we reveal our ranks and recruit members from outside, there will be many people scrambling to join.
You should know that the level of a mercenary group is accumulated by the level, number and success rate of tasks completed by the members.
It's not enough for just one or two people to have the ability, they also have to successfully complete the task many times.
"After I registered for the mercenary group, I met many people one after another, and I invited some of them."
Kai said casually, "I don't have any requirements for the members. We all met by chance. With some people, I just... spend a little time with them and then I feel I can trust them. It has always been like this."
Su Cheng was a little surprised.
Lin Yun joined this team more like relying on the protagonist's halo to cling to the team.
She always felt that she had some of the same feelings.
But after thinking about it carefully, it didn’t seem to be that complicated, so I was approved directly.
According to the captain, since I called him captain and he didn't raise any objections, does that mean he had tacitly agreed at that time?
"So you think I can be trusted?" Su Cheng was quite happy. "Instead of looking at me like I'm dying and trying to comfort me?"
"No," the captain's beautiful golden eyes revealed a hint of helplessness, "First of all, I don't think you're dying, and secondly—"
"New member!"
Su Cheng was suddenly hugged around the neck.
A cold, strong, heavy arm was placed on her shoulders, and pale fingers cupped her shoulders.
"So we're a family now, right?"
The silver-haired, red-eyed young man pulled her into his arms, a smile plastered across his handsome face. "Should we hold a celebration party or something for the newlyweds?"
Su Cheng was suddenly enveloped by a chill, almost shivering, and quickly tried to break free, "Is this the rule of the group?"
Sasha looked at her with a smile, seemingly without much effort, but the hand tightly locked her shoulders and arms. "I just think it's the right time now—"
Su Cheng was still struggling to get rid of him, "You're too cold!"
"Really?" the silver-haired young man said nonchalantly, "Then let's hug for a while longer until it warms up."
"…Sasha, please."
Kai reached out and rescued the new member, then continued to talk about the mercenary group.
"Some people like to work on tasks alone, while others are scholars or researchers who do tasks as a side job."
He paused, "Most of the time I'm alone, but this time the situation is special, so I called the three of them together."
In addition to Sasha and Camus, there is another teammate who is visiting relatives and friends in the Shadow Forest.
The original plan was to reunite in ten days, but because an elemental mage had been recruited, Kai had already sent a letter to that teammate, asking him to come back quickly.
"However," Kai looked at her, "I think it would be a good idea to celebrate your joining with a banquet."
Su Cheng: “…”
Don't think I don't know you like drinking too!
Su Cheng sighed, "Although, I still have to take an entrance exam."
She was not opposed to going to college, as she could indeed learn a lot of skills there.
But unlike Lin Yun, Su Cheng wanted to solve the curse first, or at least suppress it first.
Otherwise, it would be too troublesome if I got sick all the time in college.
So she was not in a hurry to participate in those admissions.
I originally wanted to wait until Camus finished his work, but now that I have started, I might as well finish it.
Kai wasn't surprised because he had seen her enter the Magic Guild before and had guessed that something like this would happen.
Sasha, on the other hand, asked enthusiastically which school it was and put his arm around her shoulders.
Before he could finish his words, a large, bony hand came in and forcefully separated the two of them.
"Don't have prolonged physical contact with her, at least for the next few days."
Camus came over at some point.
The blond man said coldly, "It might affect the curse."
Sasha rolled her eyes at him. "Seriously? You think I won't—"
Su Cheng took the opportunity to slip away without caring what they said.
She went home and took a nap, then ran to the Magic Guild after she had enough energy, and entered the lounge of Cross Star Academy to show that she was ready.
The great magician who had received her earlier stood up with a smile and said, "As luck would have it, both His Excellency Han Sheng and His Excellency Xiao Yun have returned. You can ask them to preside over the ceremony for you."
Cross Star Academy sent out two recruitment teams. One team was from the Academy of Bravery, and was currently recruiting students at the Warrior Guild next door.
The other team is from the Secret Academy, which consists of people from the Magic Guild. Two of them are in charge, the two who have just been nominated.
Su Cheng tried hard to recall this plot in the original novel.
These two people are a man and a woman. The man is only mentioned briefly in the book, while the woman is described in detail.
She couldn't remember any more details, only that the woman seemed to have big breasts and was always picking on the male protagonist.
Before he finished speaking, the door at the end of the corridor opened.
Two magicians came out one after the other, talking in low voices as they walked.
They were all tall, wearing robes of luxurious fabrics, and the emblem on their chests was a staff adorned with an octagonal gem and an unfolded scroll.
——Eighth-rank Mage! Great Mage!
Su Cheng could feel the abundant magic power in them.
Extremely dense elemental spirits tightly surrounded them, like iron filings attracted by a magnet.
The feeling was fleeting.
It disappeared very quickly.
...In her perceptual world, they seemed to have become ordinary people again.
Su Cheng couldn't help but be shocked.
This was the first time she had come into contact with a powerful magician of this strength, and she couldn't help but feel respect and desire in her heart.
The woman with brown hair and blue eyes was the first to look over.
She was beautiful, gentle and refined, with a scholarly air. She smiled slightly and said, "Good luck on your exams, child."
After saying that, he left.
The man behind yawned and walked over slowly.
He has orange-red curly hair that looks like flowing lava, with faint sparks dancing at the ends of his hair.
A hint of sleepiness still lingered on that handsome, thin face. "Is this the special one who possesses the three elements of wind, fire, and thunder?"
His outer robe was open, and the buttons of his shirt were more than half undone, revealing a broad and strong chest that looked as smooth as marble under the light.
Su Cheng: “…”
It is indeed very big.
