"In that case, what can I get if I win this bet?" Lelouch asked calmly in response to Yunokia's sudden request.
Yunokia sneered: "What do you want again? Do you want me to be your servant? Understand your own situation, Black Dragon. No matter how much information you have, I am willing to accept the plan you propose now. This is already the maximum. Forgive me, you know I have a way to turn you into a corpse and extract all the secrets directly from your mind."
"Indeed! But it's obviously too much of a loss for me, so why not just bet on something. If I win, I hope Miss Yunokia will let me get a construct doll, okay?"
Yunokia was slightly stunned. What was the other party's request
Originally, the construct doll was about to be released, something that could be bought with money in the market in the future, but now the other party proposed it as a bargaining chip in the bet┉┉What is the purpose of this
"Can!"
"But Miss Yunokia, I'm not interested in the kind that can be bought on the market, but a rather special model from your previous product launch."
"You...you really know a lot."
"People talk a lot, and it is human nature to show off the secrets they have. So are you willing to accept it?"
Yunokia was silent for a moment, but Lelouch's indifferent words, "As long as we win, that's all." Yunokia gritted her teeth and agreed. If she lost, she would lose the gem left by the Star Child. Since So why care about a construct doll? Just like what the black dragon in front of you said, as long as you win, that's all!
You can’t lose!
Yunokia is still confident about this. In addition to the entire Free City's manpower, the vampire's huge intelligence network is also used by her. Needless to say, the upper area is almost in her hands, while the lower areas are almost in her hands. Gangs, big and small, are like dogs, ready to obey their orders at any time, and most importantly, the ornaments left by the Star Children have resonated with the gems. As long as they are within a suitable distance, they can detect the location of the gems. Even if the boy hides his figure with the help of the master, it is useless. The demon master cannot defeat the power that does not belong to the rules of this world.
"In this case, I also want to join this bet!" Suddenly, Croside, who was originally responsible for mediating, said suddenly.
Eunogia, who was behind the gauze curtain, glared at Croseid, as if asking him why he wanted to get involved.
"I am somewhat interested in the power of this gem and want to study it."
"You will be lost ~ Croside! I advise you not to get involved in this matter. The bet I can tolerate now is the limit of my endurance."
"I don't want to be greedy. I will give the gem to you afterward." Closide pointed out directly with a smile: "Besides, Eunogia~ everyone sitting here today knows about this gem." With the power of gems, even if I choose to stay out of the matter verbally, do you think I will just ignore it privately? "
Yunokia was silent for a moment: "┉I like to cooperate with extraordinary people like you, Croseid! But sometimes I have to say that extraordinary people are really too outspoken."
"It's only better than ordinary people who like to beat around the bush and waste a lot of time on polite words every time."
Croside smiled and nodded with satisfaction. Yunokia should know this very well. As an extraordinary person, she cannot stand by and watch this kind of thing. Sometimes humans always like this kind of intrigue. I like to put on myself a so-called coat of elegance, justice, and impartiality, but I feel that since the problem has been brought to the surface, it is better to just open the skylight and speak frankly, why bother to waste time and money between each other in roundabout ways? What about energy.
"Instead of guarding us against our actions in secret, it would be better for us to participate directly in the open. I propose that when we reach this bet and not interfere with each other, we must always exclude other extraordinary beings who covet the gems. This Do you agree to the proposal?" Croside continued to agree.
"I agree!" Lelouch agreed.
Anyway, the extraordinary beings who are eyeing the Soul Stone, together with Eunogia, Croseid and the Vampires, also have demons from the Twisting Nether, and the previous night’s game did not know how many people lurking in the city were attracted. The other extraordinary beings are no longer itchy now anyway, so it would be good to unite with Croseid and others to search for the Soul Stone and eliminate other competitors at the same time.
"Similarly as a bet, if I win, Zero, you and your companions will become my subordinates. As for Yunokia, since we are now in a cooperative relationship, you don't have to pay anything."
subordinate! ? It's better than being a servant before.
"Then if I win┉┉Your Highness Croseid, will you also have to pay something?"
"Of course, what do you want?"
Lelouch thought for a moment: "I hope to form a mercenary group to take root in this city. With the influence of your Black Stone Ring Chamber of Commerce and the Black Shine mercenaries, Your Highness Croside, you can provide me with Any help?"
“You want to grow in this city?”
"I just want to try to change it. If possible, I also hope that this mission will be the last one. It is obviously easier to develop in the human world."
Closide smiled with an appreciative look: "Yes! If you can win, I can provide you with the necessary support."
"In that case, it's a deal, Your Highness!"
"Then does this bet have to be guaranteed by the contract?" Suddenly Closed looked at Eunogia and said meaningfully.
"┉Same as ever."
Eunogia seemed to be afraid to look directly at Croside, and suddenly she was unwilling to talk more about this topic.
In addition to using their own strength as a guarantee for cooperation between extraordinary beings, usually a contract is also an optional method, just like the real-name contract signed between the demon master and the boy Claire.
However, the power of the real name contract is very terrifying and has the power of being irrevocable and enforceable. Normally, extraordinary people will not choose the real name contract without absolute certainty, because signing it is equivalent to putting their lives on the gambling table. Moreover, it is impossible for a powerful transcendent being like the White Dragon King to sign such a contract that is inconsistent with the identities of both parties with a person who has just stepped into the transcendent realm. For example, in the cooperation with Croside, both parties will In the absence of any mandatory contract, cooperation is only guaranteed by a piece of paper, relying on each other's needs.
Extraordinaries are not aboveboard. On the contrary, precisely because the powers that have reached different levels are no longer bound by the laws and rules of the world, betrayal between extraordinary people is more common than ordinary mortals. After all, the extraordinary people who seek the most power are also Never shy away from using force to resolve disputes.
Originally, Lelouch was mentally prepared for everything, but Yunokia refused to sign the contract. It was not because she didn't know how to sign a real name contract, but because she seemed to have some hidden agenda┉┉
"So Zero, your plan has been adopted, now it's time to share the information you have, right?"
After talking about this, Closide slowly turned around and said to Lelouch. At the same time, Yunokia's eyes also moved over. Lelouch could even feel the sound coming from behind the gauze curtain. His eyes were even more dazzling than when he first mentioned this plan.
"A new Star Child has arrived┉┉"
Half an hour later!
On the way back, Lelouch thought about what he had gained from participating in the invitation. Overall, although he was not satisfied, he had achieved his goal and temporarily resolved the struggle with the extraordinary, especially Yunoji. Ya and Croside, neither of these two are existences that he can't afford to offend now. In fact, the threat to Eunogia is also a dangerous move. If Eunogia is not afraid of the threat, there is nothing she can do about it, and the sacred Drawing the attention of the Holy See and the gods to this place was undoubtedly causing her to lose the opportunity to find the Soul Stone. Fortunately, Yunokia obviously had more worries than she did.
Next, it’s about the boys!
Lelouch couldn't help but think about it. After that night's escape, where would Claire escape if she was so seriously injured
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
After a night of chaos, Claire was seriously injured but still managed to escape with the power of the demon master. The city security team and the forces of Yunokia have launched a dragnet search throughout the city, searching every corner, especially the ground. A rigorous search was carried out in sewers, warehouses, garbage stations, slums, and many places where people could hide people, including in the upper areas. The boy was so seriously injured that he would not be able to recover for a while even with the help of the power of gems. He must be hiding somewhere now. training.
The injured cunning fox, if you don't find him before he recovers from his injuries, it will be even harder to catch him later!
However, today, a consciousness that had been silent in the darkness slowly woke up┉┉
Where are you
Claire woke up slowly, and what she saw was a dark room and an unfamiliar ceiling. She seemed to be lying on a bed and falling asleep. The body seems to be no longer in pain, but some consciousness in the mind is still very vague, and some broken memories are constantly tumbling from the depths of the mind.
"Hmm┉┉"
Groaning, Claire slowly tried to sit up, but suddenly found that her legs could not move an inch. She held her slightly painful forehead with some uncertainty. Her memory seemed to stay in that night, and she was taking it back. At that moment, he seemed to have passed out.
Now that I'm there, what's wrong with me
In his mind, the voice of the demon Misty, also the fallen master Bellisme, slowly sounded. (~^~)
