“What? My hand?”
Fang Li was first startled, then instinctively asked.
“What are you doing?” Beatrice’s expression turned impatient upon hearing this.
“Betty asked you to hold out your hand, so just do it,” She said.
Hearing Beatrice’s words, Fang Li’s eyes narrowed slightly as if he had realized something, and he silently extended his hand.
As he looked at the hand extended before him, Beatrice wanted to show a disdainful expression, but against her own will, she sighed instead.
“This should be the first time in four hundred years. Remember this favor, human.”
With that, Beatrice also extended her hand and held Fang Li’s hand, interlocking their fingers.
And indeed, their fingers intertwined.
Feeling Beatrice’s hand tightly intertwined with his own, Fang Li’s only thought was, “Wow, this girl’s hands are so small…”
Despite having lived for hundreds of years, Beatrice was still a child at heart, both physically and emotionally.
At this moment, Fang Li deeply realized this fact.
Meanwhile, Beatrice closed her eyes, and for the first time, a solemn expression appeared on her childish face.
“—In the name of Beatrice, I shall grant your wish and form a contract—”
This was a sentence filled with power.
Therefore, when this sentence echoed in the air, Fang Li faintly felt it.
A mysterious connection began to breed between their intertwined hands.
It felt similar to when Fang Li initially tested Bo Xie’s compatibility rating and received Bo Xie’s approval.
Plus, with his understanding of the original work, Fang Li said thoughtfully, “Is this how contracts are formed?”
Yes.
This is how a contract was formed.
A contract between Fang Li and Beatrice.
In other words, Beatrice agreed to Fang Li’s request and thus formed a contract.
“Now that the contract is formed, it cannot be violated,” Beatrice slowly opened her eyes, gazing at Fang Li with eyes like stars that no human could possess.
“So, you can rest assured and leave.”
After saying that, Beatrice immediately released Fang Li’s hand, reopened the book in her hand, as if nothing had happened, and continued reading.
However, as Beatrice said, now that the contract was formed, as a Spirit, she absolutely couldn’t violate the terms of the contract.
Fang Li could indeed leave the mansion with peace of mind.
However, Fang Li had another question.
“Is this even possible?” Fang Li slowly closed and opened his palm, saying, “I thought I shouldn’t be able to form a contract with a Spirit.”
After all, forming a contract with a Spirit would make him a Spirit Warlock, using Spirits and Spirit Techniques as his main combat methods, according to the Main God’s Dimension.
However, Fang Li had already undergone a class transition to become a Genestellar.
Therefore, logically speaking, he shouldn’t be able to form a contract with a Spirit and transition into a Spirit User.
Regarding this, Beatrice casually remarked, “At most, it’s just a temporary contract. Only the terms of the contract need to be followed. Betty hasn’t become your Spirit, nor have we formed a symbiotic relationship.”
When a Spirit User forms a contract with a Spirit, regardless of whether they are a Spirit or a Spirit User, a symbiotic relationship is formed.
The strength of the Spirit contracted determines the power of the Spirit Techniques the Spirit User can use and the scale of Magic Power they can tap into from the atmosphere.
The Spirit, on the other hand, directs the Spirit User to fulfill its wishes according to its demands.
For example, Pack is contracted with Emilia. Once Emilia dies, it will lead to the destruction of the world.
Therefore, depending on the personality and demands of the Spirit, the content of the contract may vary. Some Spirits may even demand complete servitude from the contractor in exchange for lending their power, or even make contracts that require life as payment, which are extremely negative examples.
Fang Li and Beatrice had only formed a temporary contract, so besides needing to abide by the terms of the contract, they did not form a symbiotic relationship.
Therefore, even if Fang Li didn’t have a Class, he wouldn’t transition into a Spirit User, and Beatrice wasn’t Fang Li’s Spirit.
Moreover, to form a contract with a Spirit, one must have a certain level of affinity.
Fang Li didn’t think he had this kind of affinity; otherwise, Rem and Ram wouldn’t have initially regarded him as a dangerous character.
If even Rem and Ram were like that, then a Spirit like Beatrice was even more so.
In fact, Beatrice was extremely repelled by Fang Li.
Of course, Fang Li had never seen Beatrice have any close associates other than Pack, so it was really hard to say.
“The contract will last until your next return,” Beatrice made a shooing gesture towards Fang Li.
“So, hurry up and leave, Betty.”
With that said, Beatrice waved her hand, and the door to the forbidden book library opened wide.
Immediately, Fang Li was gently pushed out by an unseen force.
The door to the forbidden book library closed heavily with a bang.
Looking at the door in front of him, Fang Li was not only unaffected by Beatrice’s bad attitude but instead raised the corners of his mouth and muttered.
“Last until my next return, huh?”
In other words, if Fang Li never returned, then Beatrice absolutely would abide by this contract forever?
“Truly a ‘sharp tongue, soft heart’…”
…
About half an hour later, the conversation finally ended.
Amidst the rolling sound of the wheels, the two extraordinary guests once again drove away in their luxurious Dragon Carriage.
However, as Beatrice had anticipated, the peaceful days of the mansion had come to an end.
Almost immediately, Roswaal announced to everyone in the mansion.
“We need to prepare to depart for the Royal Capital.”
Four people were heading to the Royal Capital.
One was Emilia.
Second was Roswaal.
Third was Rem.
And the last was Fang Li.
Outside the mansion’s large doors, Rem was organizing the Dragon Carriage while glancing over.
Where Fang Li, Emilia, and Roswaal were standing.
“Are you really planning to come with us?” Emilia hesitated a bit. “But we have important matters to attend to in the Royal Capital…”
“And then?” Fang Li said unkindly. “Could it be that you’re worried I’ll disturb you?”
“N-No, of course not!” Emilia quickly shook her head.
“Then that settles it, right?” Fang Li smiled slightly.
That smile was very indifferent.
“Although I hope this time won’t be in vain…”
