Chapter 140: Ms. Grey's Repayment
Mike carefully looked at the Sword of Victory and Oath in his hand, which was still emitting a faint white light. He did not expect that this strongest silver sword could actually cause damage to the soul.
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his face.
"Bang!"
The Sword of Victory and Oath slipped from his hand. Mike squatted down with his hands covering his face, and he uttered an uncontrollable cry of pain.
Through the gaps between his fingers, Mike found that a cracked old dressing mirror next to him was reflecting his current appearance. The horrible claw mark on Mike's face was emitting a strange blue light. Gradually, the blue light gradually disappeared, and the claw mark also slowly faded until it finally disappeared.
At this time, Mike's underwear was already wet with cold sweat.
With his back against a cabinet and panting, Mike felt an uncontrollable joy in his heart.
The raven claw marks on his face have been removed. He finally doesn't have to worry about waking up from the bed one day and finding that he has suddenly become a woman!
The excitement in his heart could not be calmed for a long time, but Mike had not forgotten what he had to do.
He stood up and put the fallen Victory and Oath Sword into the Traceless Extension Spell Bag, then thought for a while, and took out a brand new Traceless Extension Spell Bag to collect all the scattered crown fragments.
I heard from Ms. Grey that this crown used by Ms. Ravenclaw as the main soul container was made of very precious magical materials, so these fragments should also be valuable.
After doing all this, Mike hummed a little song and walked out of the Room of Requirement with brisk steps.
As soon as he opened the door of the Room of Requirement, he saw Ms. Grey waiting at the door with an anxious look on her face. Seeing Mike come out alive, he immediately said excitedly: "You did it!"
Mike saw that Ms. Grey was so excited that she couldn't help herself, and immediately became playful. He showed a meaningful expression and said to her: "Helena (Ms. Grey's real name), you are really my good daughter!" Ms. Grey's
face changed drastically when she heard this, and she turned around and floated into the wall and disappeared. Mike laughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.
Ms. Grey, who had not walked far, heard Mike's laughter and noticed something unusual. You know, her mother is a person who pays great attention to etiquette. Even after she was reborn successfully, she shouldn't laugh so rudely.
Suppressing the deep fear in her heart, Ms. Grey carefully poked her head out of the wall.
But she saw that Mike's laughter at the door of the Room of Requirement had gradually stopped, and he was now holding the wall to recover his breath.
"You lied to me!" Ms. Grey roared.
Seeing that Ms. Grey was angry, Mike's laughter, which was about to stop, started to get louder again. Finally, he saw that the expression on Ms. Grey's face was getting uglier and uglier, as if she was about to explode at any time, so he stopped.
"Don't be angry, I was just joking." Mike waved his hand and said, "I have destroyed the crown, you don't have to worry about it."
"Of course I know that the crown has been destroyed by you. As the former owner of the crown, I have long felt it." Ms. Grey's face was still very ugly, "I wanted to give you a reward, but I didn't expect you... You dare to tease me like this!"
Mike's expression changed slightly when he heard it, and then he put on a gentle smile and said to Mrs. Grey, "Don't be like this, we are friends, and as a warrior of the 'Princess', I have gone through life and death several times before finally defeating the 'Devil' with difficulty. I am so sincere, if you don't believe me, just look."
After Mike said that, he raised his right hand to signal Ms. Grey to see his sincerity. The sword of victory and oath appeared in Mike's right hand at some point, and the tip of the sword was facing Ms. Grey at this moment. Obviously, this is what Mike called sincerity.
When Mike pointed the Sword of Victory and Oath at her, Ms. Grey showed a look of horror on her face and took two steps back unconsciously.
"Oh? It seems that you not only recognize this sword, but also know that this sword can kill ghosts." Mike saw this and showed a strange look on his face, "Could that Geralt be your father?"
Ms. Grey became very excited when she heard this, and hurriedly denied it: "He is not my father! He is just a heartless man! It's my mother..."
"I am not interested in these old things!" Ms. Grey was interrupted by Mike before she finished speaking, "Let's go back to the beginning. I heard that you are going to reward me?"
Ms. Grey was stunned for a long time after hearing this, looking at the Sword of Victory and Oath flashing with cold light, she said unhappily: "Where is your greed pendant? Your reward is it."
Mike's face changed when he heard this. The greed pendant has shown its magic in front of him several times, and even many times if it weren't for it, Mike would have died.
Mike has always felt that this is the special function of the greed pendant, so he has always carried it with him.
But last time when he was fighting against the Ravenclaw soul, the Greed Pendant turned into a living raven in front of him, and was called a traitor by the Ravenclaw soul. This made Mike suspicious of the Greed Pendant. Since returning to Hogwarts, he has put it in the Traceless Extension Spell Bag.
Taking out the Greed Pendant from the Traceless Extension Spell Bag, Mike said to Ms. Grey: "Do you know its secret?"
"This is the last living Nightmare Raven in the world. As long as you get its recognition and sign a contract with it, you can drive it." Ms. Grey said in a bewitching tone, "You should have experienced its ability. It can not only drag people into an unsolvable illusion, but also naturally restrain spirits."
"How do you sign a contract with it?" Mike, who has personally experienced the effect of the Nightmare Raven, asked hurriedly.
"I don't know."
"You don't know!?" Mike roared.
"Of course, this Nightmare Raven is actually my legacy, a gift from my mother for my adulthood. It was only because she didn't tell me how to sign the contract in order to test me that it came to you." Seeing Mike's angry look, Ms. Grey laughed, "Otherwise, how could it be your turn? You know, a Nightmare Raven can only have one master in its lifetime."
Mike was furious when he saw Ms. Grey's gloating look. He put the Sword of Victory and Oath in his hand on Ms. Grey's neck and said angrily, "Is this what you call reward?" The
Sword of Victory and Oath seemed to be able to sense Mike's anger at the moment. As soon as the sword touched Ms. Grey's illusory body, it emitted a faint white light and quickly began to dissolve Ms. Grey's soul.
Ms. Grey cried out in pain and flew back. Seeing that Mike was about to step forward, she hurriedly said, "Don't! As long as you can get the sincere approval of the Nightmare Raven, the contract between you will be automatically signed. This is what my mother told me!"
Seeing that Ms. Grey did not seem to be lying, Mike snorted coldly, put away the Sword of Victory and Oath, and walked straight out of the corridor on the eighth floor of Hogwarts, leaving Ms. Grey staring blankly at his receding back, her eyes filled with joy of surviving a disaster.
