Silver Blade and Rose

Edwin's original idea was to accompany Zals back home first, and then make a contract when he comes back at night, but Zars rarely expressed strong opposition to his decision: "No, let's make a contract first, and then go to my house tomorrow. Can."

Edwin originally thought that Zals cared so much about his parents' opinions, and that appeasing his parents would be a higher priority than the contract itself, so he asked in confusion, "Why?"

Zals shifted his gaze guiltily, and he couldn't get away with it before confessing honestly: "Lilian used to be a nurse, and I have a problem with my arm, she must be able to tell."

In this way, he will be exposed as soon as he returns home. He doesn't want to be ordered to resign immediately after returning home. There is no harm in being cautious.

Although he still didn't understand why he was so flustered, Edwin agreed to his request: "Then go and see if Ivan is ready."

He took Zals into the closet, and landed in a room that Zals had never seen before.Unlike the shooting range last time, the room was very dark, with only an oil lamp and a few candlesticks as the light source, and a small altar under the oil lamp. The temple is a bit similar, but the position of the statue is replaced by the oil lamp.

In fact, he has seen the oil lamp before. To be precise, he has seen the lamp carved from stone on the statue of Elvins.The shape of the lamp is not much different from the one held by the statue, except for the wick—a cluster of white flames jumping in the lamp, like ice cooling a bright soul.

"Here?" Elvins stood behind the oil lamp, with one hand hanging over the lamp, and Edwin exchanged a glance, signaling him and Zals to take their places with his eyes, "We're almost ready, but Don't you guys wait for the night? It might be a bit strenuous during the day."

"Use your soul lamp to illuminate it, you won't lose it." Edwin said indifferently.

He took down a dagger from the altar, which looked a bit like the one he used for Zars before. When Zars saw it, he remembered the dagger he brought into the forest, and said "ah".

"That..." He hesitated to tell Edwin and Elvins that he had inserted the "Old Testament Blade" into Unsarster's hand, but he couldn't pull it out in time to escape.Later, he was distracted by the injury on his arm, and fell into a coma after returning. Zars almost forgot about it, and only remembered it when he saw the dagger.

Edwin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who told you that it was the 'Blade of the Old Testament'?"

"Onsarst said," Zales was a little dazed, "didn't it?"

"Of course not," Elvins continued, "The one I brought you into the forest, including the one he is holding now, are all imitations made by me. The real 'Old Testament Blade' human beings have no There is no way to control it, and he probably wouldn’t use it at ordinary times.”

"Why?" Zals had an intuition that this dagger was not an ordinary dagger. Even if it was just an imitation, it gave him a chance to win from Onsastre. If it was the real thing...

"Its ability is 'cut off', which can temporarily block the power in the blood, and can also cut off all the connections between two people who were originally connected." Elvins' eyes fell on the dagger held by Edwin , Seeing that Edwin didn't speak, he took on the role of commentary without complaint, "You will need it for the contract model you will hold next, but since the real product is not here, you can only make do with the imitation."

"What do you want to cut off?" Zars still didn't understand the meaning of his words.

"Of course it's his power." Elvins glanced at Edwin and said helplessly, "If you don't do this, his power will instantly flood into your body because of the contract, although it will also extinguish Unsastre's power." Black Flame, but your body may not be able to withstand the impact, and you need a little protection."

Zars nodded suddenly, consciously sat down at the position he indicated just now.It was a depression in the center of the altar, just enough for a person to sit in it, and he sat there cross-legged, then subconsciously looked at Edwin.

The latter threw him another dagger on the altar, then took his own, and cut a cut on his wrist without changing his face.Edwin lowered his head, and his expression was vaguely different from that of Elvins who cut his wrists and fed him blood in the forest yesterday. There was no expression on his face, but Zars could see what he was thinking.

It wasn't until the blood flowing from his wrist flowed into the altar along the groove on the ground that he raised his head and silently cut Zals' wrist.

Zals suddenly noticed that Edwin's eyes had changed color, from the lake-like green he was familiar with quietly to red.

Like thick blood, and also like a bewitching ruby, he couldn't take his eyes off after just one glance, thinking to himself: So he saw it right the night they first met.

"Quick," Elvins reminded him, "cut your hand before the blood hits you, soaking the wound in his blood."

Zals woke up like a dream, without thinking too much, cut his uninjured arm with the dagger thrown by Edwin.Because of the heavy force, the wound immediately scrambled to bleed, he pressed the bleeding wound on the groove on the ground, just in time Edwin's blood flowed in front of him, and the instant it touched the wound on his wrist, it lit up, It sank silently into Zars' wound.

It's hard to say what kind of feeling it was. Edwin's blood flowed into his body like an infusion without external force, and quickly adapted to his body temperature, as if it belonged to him originally. Blood vessels flowed to all parts of his body.Zals raised his head, and Edwin was sitting opposite him. He had put away his bleeding hand, and the bright red blood was still flowing from his wound, which was in stark contrast to his fairer skin than ordinary people. , like a brightly colored flower blooming on it.

Edwin wiped it casually, and the blood stopped immediately, leaving a red mark across his wrist. He didn't care about it anymore, raised his eyes to look in the direction of Zals, and frowned.

It was only then that Zars realized that his situation was wrong.

From just now, his attention has been on Edwin, and he didn't even notice that his own blood was getting more and more.The amount of blood flowing out of his body has far exceeded Edwin's, and the temperature of his body is getting higher and higher, as if some kind of rejection reaction is happening, but what is being rejected is his own blood.

"Something's wrong," Elvins said alertly. "He seems to be adapting to your power quickly, but..."

But it seems to be too much, to be completely occupied by the power that belongs to Edwin.

Almost no human being can accept a contract at this speed. It usually takes a long time for them to adapt. Even the blood given by the master has to be slowly injected into the body several times after completing the contract, so that they can get what the contractor deserves after recuperating. strength.Because the situation of Zals couldn't wait that long, they decided to make a full contract at once, but maybe it was because there was still the black flame of Ansaster in their bodies, and Edwin's power was too strong, and his blood carried his power Immediately absorbed the remaining black flames, began to repair Zars' body, and gradually transformed into his own power.

It seems like a good thing, but it is not at all.If he can't keep conscious during this process, he will easily lose himself and become a puppet dominated by power.

Edwin immediately got up and came behind Zals, supporting his crumbling body.

Elvins held up his soul lamp and hung it above Zals's head, and Zals felt that his fleeting consciousness seemed to be drawn by something, and slowly flowed back to his body.His consciousness was a little fuzzy, he leaned against the body behind him, and reluctantly asked, "Are you ready...?"

"Okay." Edwin's voice sounded behind him, "Don't sleep, wake up, look up at me."

This was really difficult, and Zars raised his head to look at him with difficulty, only feeling that his neck weighed thousands of catties, and it took all his strength to move it.

Edwin frowned and looked down at him, his eyes had returned to his familiar green, but there seemed to be something different.

For some reason, he suddenly found that he could vaguely feel the other party's emotions—Edwin was not happy and a little anxious, and he calmed down the moment he looked at him, and then stretched out his hand to grab his gauze-wrapped gauze. right arm.

"Try it, can it move?" He said in a deep voice.

Zals could hardly hear what he was saying, and shook his head blankly.

The cold hand was placed on his forehead to check the temperature again. Edwin looked in a terrible mood, and turned to Elvins and said, "Take out the 'Old Testament Blade'."

Elvins' eyes widened: "No, that thing is—"

"He might die," Edwin interrupted.

"That doesn't work, what will you use to balance the strength in your body after you take it out?" Elvins didn't intend to give in on this issue, insisting, "I can take it out, but I can't put it in again, Huh Erlette's spell will also be lifted, and you will face more serious problems. And it's not impossible to solve it now, as long as..."

"Get out," Edwin said.

Elvins froze.

"I don't want to say it a second time."

Seeing that he didn't insist on the decision just now, Elvins was slightly relieved, and worried about Zal's safety, and wanted to say something, Edwin looked up at him, he stopped talking, and left consciously .

Hearing the sound of him closing the door, Edwin looked down at Zars who was still lying on his lap with his head up. The latter's body temperature was getting higher and higher. He lifted the gauze tied as a display, and the other side The scars on his arms that were burned by the black flames had disappeared, and the remaining sparks inside had also been extinguished. His strength should have completely prevailed, and he was short of completely dominating this body.

But Elvins was right, besides taking out the "Blade of the Old Testament" to cut off their contractual relationship, there is another way to solve the current situation of Zars' power out of control.

He didn't have time to think, and without hesitation, he bent down and kissed the unconscious person.

He has absolute control over his own power. The blood has been absorbed by Zals' body, but the force he brought is still rushing around in his body. He has not found a destination for the time being, so he was sucked back by Edwin.Worried that the human body would not be able to adapt to the drastic changes of one strong and one weak, Edwin did not completely take away the power that was transferred to Zals through the blood flow just now, leaving some for him to absorb by himself, then straightened up, patted The face of the guy who had been unconscious at that time, he was relieved to see his breathing gradually stabilized, hugged him and changed direction, leaning on the altar.

Zars's adaptability to the power of demons is unbelievable. He let Aiwen use the soul lamp to illuminate it. It was just insurance. The blood sucked should not be so much. Even if it flows into the human body, it should take at least a month. Time to slowly absorb.But judging from Zars' situation, the body immediately absorbed his power, and the owner of the body didn't know how all this happened.

Is this why he was not burned to ashes by the black flame and left the forest intact?

Edwin stared at the unconscious Zals for a long time, until Elvins quietly came back to check the situation before looking away: "Take him up, he should be fine for now."

Elvins looked at him and then at the unconscious man, confirming that he hadn't done anything irreparable without authorization, then reached out and hugged Zars, and disappeared on the spot.

Edwin was left alone in the room, rarely distracted, and waved away the temporary altar. The whole room suddenly changed, the space became wider, and the eye-catching walls, floors and all the furnishings disappeared together. , leaving only monotonous and pure black.

He walked up the steps slowly and sat in a familiar position, still not getting out of his thoughts just now.It just so happened that this place was very quiet, suitable for contemplation and meditation. Just like in the past thousands of years, he had a long time to sort out this matter slowly.

The only thing that is certain is that Zars is not an ordinary human being as he thought.
