When discussing the terms of the contract with Kolma, Zheng Qing always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something and was a little absent-minded. So much so that he almost forgot to add a 'two-way confidentiality clause' to the terms, which meant that the black cat needed to keep Kolma and her mysterious cause a secret, and Kolma also needed to keep the existence of a talking black cat a secret.
Of course, this was eventually supplemented by the reminder from the Rat Immortal - which also made Zheng Qing more wary of the fat mouse's purpose. As the saying goes, "If you want to take something, you must first give it to it." It helps to keep the secret of the black cat and ties itself to Korma's chariot. What its real purpose is is very debatable. .
There is another small detail when signing the deed.
That's the problem with real names.
Because Zheng Qing appeared as a black cat, he did not want the identity of the wizard under the cat's skin to be known by the person and the mouse in front of him - although Zheng Qing suspected that the mouse fairy might know his identity - so before signing the contract At that time, he insisted on using the cat's paw print instead of his real name on the parchment contract.
Colma firmly disagrees with this.
"You're kidding!" The witch grabbed the contract and raised her arms high to prevent the black cat from taking it away. At the same time, she asked aggressively: "If you put a cat's paw print on it, what will happen if we sign this contract?" Does it mean anything? Who knows which cat’s urine is stuck to your paws right now!”
If the paws are contaminated with the scent of other cats, then the degree of restraint on the black cat will naturally be reduced a lot when the contract comes. From this point of view, Korma's suspicion still makes sense.
Black Cat's face turned red with anger - although others couldn't tell whether it was red or not.
"I will never step on a place where others have peed! This is a principle!" The black cat also grinned and stared like bells: "When you walk, do you choose a place where others have pooped?!"
A look of disgust immediately appeared on the witch's face.
Seeing that the conversation was about to turn into shit, the Rat Immortal finally couldn't hold it in any longer and coughed twice, interrupting the argument.
"Ahem," the Mouse Immortal coughed slightly sharply, which played a very good role in interrupting him at this time: "We are all from the First University. What's the point that we can't sit down and have a good chat with? We will have to work together in the future. Cooperation and striving for a common goal, there is no need to be so tit-for-tat now."
Kolma crossed his arms, hummed softly, and said nothing.
The black cat also squatted down and stopped baring its fangs at the witch.
After pausing for a moment, the Rat Immortal saw that the two parties had no intention to continue the discussion, and finally gave its suggestion: "If you feel that the real name brand is flawed, you can sign a blood contract... Of course, compared with the real name brand, the blood contract is The restraint effect may be stronger, so you must be mentally prepared for this."
The so-called blood contract is actually a drop of blood placed where the silent contract was originally signed. This ancient magic that has been passed down for a long time has always been one of the most trusted ultimate means by wizards.
The black cat and the witch looked at each other and nodded slowly.
So, under the witness of the Rat Immortal, Black Cat and Korma each cut their palms, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dropped it on the tail of the contract. After the two drops of blood fell on the parchment contract, a puff of green smoke suddenly appeared, and it turned into ashes in an instant.
After the contract was completed, and after feeling the power of the oath, Black Cat finally no longer worried about being skinned and cramped by the rat fairy or witch, and his mood suddenly relaxed a lot - in fact, until now, after falling from the tree, his His spirit was always tense. His instincts from felines and that of a wizard were warning him frantically, telling him how dangerous the mouse was and that the witch had evil intentions.
But now, this worry has disappeared with this contract.
Black Cat finally got into the mood to start thinking about what he had been unable to remember before. But even though he thought hard, he couldn't catch the glimmer of light in his mind.
Until the Rat Immortal said something.
"Okay, now that the contract has been signed, it's settled." After the contract turned into ashes, the Rat Immortal shrank again, commanding the big rats in red vests to pick up his cub and turn around. Turning back to the ruins of the building behind him, he waved to the witch and black cat behind him and said:
"You should go back early...I think you all slipped out during the Forbidden Demon Festival. This is already a moderately dangerous area in the Silent Forest, and it is still a bit dangerous for you."
"HOLY-SHIT!" Hearing this, the black cat opened his eyes wide and roared in a low voice. He slapped his paw on the tree trunk next to him, leaving several deep marks on the soul-returning poplar.
He wasn't scolding because of the dangers of the Silent Forest mentioned by the Rat Fairy. He has experienced more dangerous situations than now.
He just remembered what he had been ignoring.
That was the reason why he sneaked into the woods in the first place to 'gather firewood'. But now, the black cat raised his head and looked at the sky, feeling a rush of alpacas running past. Looking at the time, I guess everyone has finished eating and playing games. Maybe some people have started clamoring to go home.
Zheng Qing could completely imagine the terrifying face of Downton, who was in charge of the spring outing, or his roaring roar.
"Are you worried about being scolded by the professor?" came the slightly shrill voice of the Mouse Immortal from behind, which sounded a bit like he didn't deserve a beating: "Listen to the old man's advice, don't make excuses to avoid responsibilities - such as getting lost, helping you to bask in the sun The old crocodile mother-in-law picked her teeth, helped the mermaid sister cross the river - don't make these ridiculous excuses. Then you mention that you can't use magic on the Forbidden Day, so you can't find your way home, etc."
"If you say so, you should take a trip to the Heart-Questioning Magic Circle."
"Just say that I was playful and went too far. Accept the punishment and admit it. It's safest."
"Believe me, these are the wise words of an old man."
The black cat stopped and turned around, looking at the figure of the Mouse Immortal fading away, as if he had seen a ghost. How does it know what it was thinking in its heart just now?
"Do you know who I am?" Seeing that the Mouse Immortal was about to disappear among the broken stone sculptures, the black cat finally couldn't help it, widened his amber eyes, and asked loudly.
With his excellent eyesight, he could clearly see that the corners of the Rat Immortal's mouth seemed to be curled up.
"The Master said, don't say it, don't say it..." The lingering voice lingered, and the fat mouse's Qingyu had disappeared into the depths of this seemingly abandoned Confucian temple. Only the sullen black cat and another thoughtful witch were left standing.
