The two signed the contract, and Noah gently snapped his fingers.
Keppel, who was still in a daze just now, his expression froze and he turned pale in hesitation.
Noah thought to himself, making sure that this man was really awake.
To be honest, he was not unaware of the weird and demonic nature of his voice, but so far no wizard had been randomly bewitched, so he didn't take it to heart. He only regarded it as a small talent that could refresh the initial impression. Apart from being playful, He had tried using bewitching spells but didn't take it too seriously. He was not a charmer. So it was the first time for him to meet the person opposite him who was attracted by the magic after just a few words of conversation.
Noah didn't notice it at first, but it wasn't until he started negotiating with Keppel that he vaguely realized that the other party seemed to be influencing his judgment.
Maybe he wants to curse the box too eagerly, or maybe the opponent's constitution is more sensitive and easy to be attacked.
Noah prefers the latter. Some people are born with such a constitution and are born too sensitive to magic and are easily affected by it. This kind of person may not necessarily have any outstanding talents in magic, but he has unique advantages in alchemy or other aspects.
But this is just a guess. Now he has taken the initiative to help people relieve the impact, although it was only after signing the contract.
Compared to Noah's ruthless calmness, Keppel is not so good.
He realized the series of irrational actions he had made, stood up vigilantly, and even pulled out his wand: "What did you do?"
Noah waited patiently for him to calm down, not caring about pointing his wand: "Are you going to break the contract?"
Keppel: "You used black magic to trick me into signing a contract..."
Noah tilted his head slightly: "Just take it as such. Do you want to regret it?"
He raised his hand slightly, and the magic power belonging to the contract emerged slightly on his wrist.
This is not an ordinary contract. A normal contract would have the other party's mark appearing on the arms of both parties, rather than forming this chain-like magic power.
Keppel looked at his wrist. Because of Noah's actions, the magical restraint also appeared on his wrist. A slight disobedience would cause irreversible consequences.
Who is this mysterious wizard?
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "So, since it's cooperation, do you only provide a box?"
Noah confirmed that the man's mind was finally normal, and showed his sincerity: "Actually, I have opened the box."
"What?!"
…
"What?!" Vader couldn't believe what he heard, "You went to get something and ended up collaborating with this wizard?!"
Noah heard the sound and looked back at the two of them, then continued to look at the magic items on the shelf.
Wade subconsciously kept silent when he glanced at him. When he saw him turning back, he lowered his voice and approached his boss: "Boss, are you really not under any black magic?"
Keppel, who had already been hit and was taken out by the other party, said: "..."
"Anyway, we have already signed the contract, so we don't have to worry about him going back on it for the time being." Kepel turned away his eyes guiltily, "Besides, he has actually opened the box."
"What did you say?!" Wade subconsciously raised his voice again, which was obviously not what he expected, "Are you sure?"
"I can show you the evidence directly." A low and gentle voice sounded beside him, startling Wade.
When neither of them noticed, Noah had quietly appeared at the table. He raised his hand and touched the table, and the dangerous curse box suddenly appeared on the table.
Wade was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pulled his boss away from the table by grabbing the back of the chair. He pointed at the box for a while before saying, "You actually carry it with you?!"
Carrying such a dangerous thing with you? ! Don’t you need to isolate yourself with something? ? ?
Noah turned his head to look at him who reacted quickly, raised his hand and pressed it on the box, and opened the lid of the box while the two of them breathed nervously.
"O
h, fick! He really turned on! Wade subconsciously said a curse word, and immediately pushed Keppel and the chair back to the table.
The two wizards immediately looked into the box to see what was inside, but found that it was empty.
Keppel: "..."
Vader: "???"
"Where are the things?" Wade immediately went to dig through the box, but Noah directly held his hand to stop him.
"If you don't want to be cursed, you'd better not touch it," his disguised voice was gentle, speaking with the elegance and slowness of a London accent, "I didn't lift the curse, I just opened the box."
Keppel pulled Wade back and looked at Noah cautiously: "How did you open the box if you didn't lift the curse?"
"Of course I have my own way." Noah leaned on the table, closed the box again and pushed it to the edge of the table away from the two of them, "Now let's fulfill the contract."
…
Hogwarts was founded before 993 AD. At that time, wizards were hated by Muggles, which made the wizards' lives gradually become difficult. That's why powerful wizards tried to build schools to provide young wizards with a safe place to learn. place.
Hatred differentiated races, and race was defined as blood. It was at that time that wizards and Muggles were gradually separated into two concepts.
But wizards do not rely solely on blood inheritance. Muggle families may suddenly awaken young wizards. Even in that era, wizards of Muggle origin were considered to be extremely talented and synonymous with "genius".
However, some people have different views on this, and the most representative one is naturally Salazar Slytherin.
As one of the founders of Hogwarts, his ideas undoubtedly influenced the thinking of young wizards. The concept of [Pure Blood] was also proposed. Even though this idea seemed unbelievable to other wizards at the time.
The reason why Salazar Slytherin advocated the "pure-blood" theory was not completely unreasonable, because pure-blood wizards do have something that Muggle-born wizards do not have - blood.
…
"Bloodline?" Noah crossed his hands across his chest and suddenly remembered the bottle of unknown liquid.
"Slytherin believes that the most special thing about pure blood is blood," Kepel explained. "It seems to be some kind of proof that it has very powerful power."
Noah tilted his head, his tone was calm but his words were mocking: "Really? I don't feel any different."
Keppel shook his head: "This is only a later record. No one knows the real reason why he is obsessed with [pure blood]. But according to records, he called that thing - [ Soul Blood]."
