Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

While Alai and Ned were whispering, the ceremony on the stage was successfully completed.A wedding finally came to an end amid sunshine and blessings, and the sky was full of flowers dancing like a dream.

The newlyweds left to prepare for the next outdoor reception, while the guests left their seats.Cheerful string music sounded, and the noisy conversation once again enveloped the venue.

Ned came back to his senses and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what he was going to say, so he pulled off the neatly tied tie around his neck in annoyance, and under Alai's puzzled eyes, he called out again. Name: "Alai."

Alai tilted his head, and said cooperatively, "I'm here, what's wrong with you?"

Ned looked straight at Alai, and the anxiety in his heart was gradually calmed down by Alai's voice. He slowed down his breathing, but his heart was like a bird that would escape at any time.

Ned vaguely grasped some thoughts of his own, but he didn't know how to express them, so he could only ask stupidly, "Alai, will you always be by my side?"

"Of course." Alai replied without thinking, and before Ned was happy, he continued, "Didn't I promise you a long time ago? As long as the contract still exists, we will be forever' partners." '."

For some reason, the word 'partner', which used to be very sweet, was now like a sharp sword, piercing straight/into Ned's chest, like the poison hidden in sweet candy, finally revealed at this time true face.

Ned stood there with cold hands and feet, feeling that something had disappeared from his chest.Those warm things that made him feel sweet, the ones he thought would exist forever, the existence called 'partners'.Instead, there is a void that can never be filled, waiting for a new existence to fill it.

At this moment, Ned didn't know exactly what he wanted.All he can do is to show a habitual silly expression, in exchange for his partner to smile and approach helplessly as always.

At the same time, after the ceremony is over.

Bell and Samuel returned to the lounge.They need to change their dresses again, attend the reception after the ceremony, and draw a perfect ending for this wedding.

But, before that.

With a serious expression but vaguely excited, Samuel grabbed Bell who was about to change the dress, "Honey, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

The bear clan orc who had just finished the ceremony still had a blush on his face. Hearing what his lover said, he thought he was reluctant to part with him.

Bell smiled sweetly, followed Samuel's strength, and sat on the sofa with him.In the room decorated with pearl flowers, the pink air is spreading, and the white dress and the black hem are overlapped, which looks harmonious and beautiful.

"That can only be said for a while, I have to change clothes." Bell said with a smile, with a tone of indulgence and coquettishness that would never be shown in front of other people.

Samuel didn't reply to Bell's words right away. He lowered his eyes, suppressed his unrest, leaned over to Bell's round ears, and pressed a precious kiss.

Bell's face turned red with a bang, but instead of avoiding it, he shook his ears and grinned even more happily.Bell hugged Samuel with a smile and rubbed his furry ears against his neck.

Samuel embraced Bell and said hoarsely, "I'm sorry, I lied to you."

As soon as Bell heard it, he subconsciously wanted to look up to see Samuel's expression.But he was hugged tightly by the other party, unwilling to let go.

He hugged Bell and murmured: "Wait, let me hold you for a while." He rubbed the tip of his nose against Bell's ear and took a deep breath, "I've waited for this day for too long. Now I can finally confess to you My everything."

"Samael?" Bell moved uneasily.According to Samuel's reaction just now, if he speaks out, it is very likely that he will suffer a serious backlash.

"It doesn't matter anymore." Samuel patted Bell reassuringly, "I couldn't say it just now, but it doesn't matter now. I promise you, I will never hide anything from you again."

Bel noticed that Samael's strength was loose, stood up, stared into his deep purple eyes, and asked, "What's going on?"

Samael gently brushed away the messy hair on Bell's forehead, and told him the real secret about the demons in detail.

It turned out that a long, long time ago, when the space had not yet converged, the demons living in the fifth district relied on signing contracts with other races.

As magical creatures, the Demon Race has a peculiar racial attribute, that is, once a contract is signed, it will be obeyed no matter what.

This was originally a very good racial habit. Creatures on this plane like to do business with demons.Because the Mozu's reputation is good enough, once the contract is signed, they will faithfully fulfill it.

The only shortcoming is probably that the work of the Mozu is completely in accordance with the rules. If there is a problem with the content of the contract signed at the beginning, they will never accept changes, so when signing the contract, you need to be extra careful.

This harmonious coexistence of living conditions continued until one day, the space barriers of all planes were broken.The races from other planes quickly discovered this characteristic of the Demon Race.

These races from different worlds possess great power.

They used the racial characteristics of the demons to deceive or simply force many demons to sign the so-called 'permanent contract'.As for the demons, due to their inability to break the contract, they are either enslaved by the contract for life, or they can only choose to die.

But this is not the unfortunate end of this race.

The demons are born with magnificent appearance and have a long lifespan.Other races that can only live to one-third of the life of the demons, or even shorter, quickly discovered how to maximize the value of the demons.

That is... Signing a 'companion contract' with the demons.This kind of contract can only be signed by two demons who love each other, and they swear to be together for a lifetime, sharing life and life and death.

But it was used as a cage to bind a demon for a lifetime, and even imprison his emotions.They are captured, selected and forced to sign modified 'companion contracts'.

From then on, the demon race who was contracted could only live with the race that enslaved him, and was bound for a lifetime.And whether the other party loves him or not, he must abide by the oath and love the other party for the rest of his life until death separates them.

"Is there no resistance?" Bell couldn't help asking when he heard this.

Samuel lowered his eyes, "The demons who resisted are all dead." He continued in a calm tone, "Besides, not every demon has the courage to face death."

Bell was silent, and it took a while before he seemed to remember something, and asked nervously: "Then what did you sign with me? Could it be..."

"Well, it's a 'partner contract'." Samuel laughed, "Don't worry, this is a later improved version, which is completely different from that kind of contract."

"That's good." Bell breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Is this why you don't want to tell me that you are a demon?" It's normal to want to.

"It's not just because of this." Samael smiled bitterly and explained: "The reason why I didn't tell you is because our race, in order not to repeat the tragedy of the past, came up with a non-solution."

It turned out that 300 years ago, after the barriers of the planes were broken, the demons suffered inhumane persecution.The rest of the demons, either hide their names, or work hard to become stronger.This also indirectly led to the strong attribute of the demons and the growth of the power of the entire race.

In exchange for losing nearly two-thirds of the same race, the strength of the remaining demon race has been greatly improved.But strength alone is not enough. In order to protect the safety of the entire race, the demons used their own contract attributes.

When each demon is born, he will sign a contract with his parents. The content is roughly, first, the identity of the demon must not be revealed, and second, the contract signed before adulthood must be approved by the parents, otherwise it will be invalid. Third, the contract signed by oneself The contract cannot cause harm to oneself or the demon race.

"That's why I can't tell you." Samuel hugged Bell, and casually finished the sad story about his entire race, which has been unfolding for 300 years.

Bell pressed close to Samuel, didn't speak immediately, but hugged him back quietly.

After a while, Bell asked softly: "Is it really okay for you to tell me everything like this? Didn't you say... you can't say it?"

"Yeah." Samuel stared at his partner in front of him, and explained softly, "It's true that I couldn't tell you just now, but it doesn't matter now. Didn't I swear an oath to you at the wedding ceremony?"

Bell couldn't help but widen his eyes, guessing: "Could it be..."

"That's right, it's the phrase 'Regardless of life, old age, sickness and death, never cheat.', this is the only way I came up with, to defeat the contract with a contract." Samuel smiled slyly, and regained his usual shrewdness, "So , I am very glad that you are willing to hold a ceremony with me even though you know that I lied to you."

"Samael..." Bell, who finally realized what the wedding vows meant to the demons, was at a loss.In his view, the oath that every orc will experience when forming a bond must have an unusual meaning for Samuel, who has a heavy past.

Aware of his partner's uneasiness, Samael did not comfort him, but leaned closer to Bell's ear, repeating the oath just now, and repeatedly uttered love words.

Their heartbeats gradually coincided.

The demon youth with deep purple eyes willingly accepted the bondage of the contract.For the demons, the oath is the most real thing in the world, and now, he is willing to share all the truth for the rest of his life with the bear beastmen in front of him.

The author has something to say:

About Ned: Don't worry, you can't abuse it. This is the process of Ned's enlightenment. Once this silly dragon figured it out, he would start chasing Dafa with a straight ball.Or... Zhilong chasing Dafa?
