Granting Your Wish
"Hand?"
Fang Li was taken aback at first, then subconsciously asked a question.
"What are you doing?"
Upon hearing this, Beatrice's expression turned impatient.
"Betty told you to put your hand out, so just put your hand out."
Upon hearing Beatrice's words, Fang Li's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he silently stretched out his hand.
Looking at the hand extended in front of her, Beatrice wanted to show a look of disgust, but in the end she went against her own wishes and turned her emotions into a sigh.
"This should be the first time in four hundred years. Betty, remember this favor well, human."
As she said this, Beatrice extended her hand and took Fang Li's hand in hers.
Moreover, they did it with their fingers interlocked.
Feeling Beatrice's hand tightly intertwined with his, Fang Li mind.
(Wow, this girl's hands are so small...)
Although she had lived for hundreds of years, Beatrice was still a child.
Whether it's physiological or psychological.
At this moment, Fang Li deeply understood this point.
At this moment, Beatrice closed her eyes, and for the first time, a solemn expression appeared on her youthful face.
"—Your wish is granted. In the name of Beatrice, a contract is hereby concluded—"
This is a powerful statement.
Therefore, when those words rang out in the air, Fang Li vaguely sensed them.
A mysterious connection began to emerge from their intertwined hands.
That feeling was somewhat similar to when Fang Li tested Bō Xié's suitability and received Bō Xié's approval.
Based on his understanding of the original work, Fang Li said something that seemed to come to mind.
"Has a contract been concluded?"
Yes.
A contract has been concluded.
Fang Li and Beatrice.
In other words, Beatrice agreed to Fang Li's request and thus entered into a contract.
"Once a contract is entered into, it cannot be broken."
Beatrice slowly opened her eyes, gazing at Fang Li with a pair of star-like eyes that no human could possibly possess.
"So you can leave with peace of mind."
After saying that, Beatrice immediately let go of Fang Li's hand, reopened the book in her hand, and continued reading as if nothing had happened.
However, just as Beatrice said, since a contract has been made, as an elf, Beatrice absolutely cannot break the contents of the contract.
Fang Li can indeed leave this mansion with peace of mind.
However, Fang Li had another question.
"Is this okay?" Fang Li slowly opened and closed his palms, saying, "I thought I shouldn't be able to form a contract with an elf."
After all, by forming a pact with an elf, one becomes Spirit Sorcerer, an elven wielder.
In the context of the Main God Space, when one forms a contract with an elf, they will become an elf user, using elves and Spirit Arts as their primary means of combat.
But Fang Li has already switched to the Star Pulse Generation.
Therefore, logically speaking, one should be unable to form a contract with an elf and become an elf wielder.
Beatrice responded casually, "It's just a temporary contract at best. Only the terms of the contract need to be followed. Betty hasn't become your spirit, nor has she formed a symbiotic relationship with you."
Those who form a pact with an elf, whether they are elves or elf wielders, will develop a symbiotic relationship.
The power of the spirit Spirit Arts and the scale of atmospheric magic that can be used are determined by the strength of the spirit in the contract.
The spirits, on the other hand, make the contracted spirits fulfill their wishes according to their own requirements.
For example, Puck has a pact with Emilia, and if Emilia dies, the world will be destroyed.
Therefore, depending on the spirit's personality and needs, the content of the contract will also vary. Some spirits will even make the contractor a complete slave to be used, lending power in exchange for it. There are even contracts that require the contractor to give their life as the price, which are extremely bad examples.
Fang Li and Beatrice only entered into a temporary contract. Apart from having to abide by the terms of the contract, they did not form a symbiotic relationship.
Therefore, even if Fang Li doesn't have a profession, he won't become an elf, and Beatrice is not Fang Li's elf.
Moreover, to form a contract with an elf, one must possess a certain degree of affinity.
Fang Li doesn't think he has that kind of affability, otherwise Rem and Ram wouldn't have treated Fang Li as a dangerous person at the beginning.
If even Rem and Ram are like this, then it goes without saying that elves like Beatrice are even more vulnerable.
In fact, Beatrice was extremely averse to Fang Li.
Of course, Fang Li has never seen Beatrice have any close relationships other than Parker, so it's really hard to say.
"The contract will last until your next return."
Beatrice gestured for Fang Li to leave.
"So, get Betty out of here right now."
Leaving behind those words, Beatrice waved her hand, causing the door to the Forbidden Library to open completely.
Immediately, Fang Li was gently pushed away by an unseen force.
"Bang!"
The door to the Forbidden Library was slammed shut.
Looking at the door in front of him, Fang Li was not affected by Beatrice's bad attitude at all. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth and muttered to himself.
"Will you keep it up until the next time you come back?"
In other words, if Fang Li never comes back, Beatrice will definitely abide by this contract forever, right?
"She really does have a sharp tongue but a soft heart..."
The conversation ended about half an hour later.
Amidst the rolling wheels, the two distinguished guests once again departed in their luxurious Dragon Carriage.
But just as Beatrice had thought, the peaceful days at this mansion were over.
Almost immediately, Roswaal announced this to everyone in the building.
"Prepare yourselves, we're heading to the Royal Capital."
There were four people heading to the Royal Capital.
One is Emilia.
One is Roswaal.
One is Rem.
Another one is Fang Li.
Outside the mansion gates, Rem adjusted the Dragon Carriage while glancing over.
As far as the eye could see, Fang Li, Emilia, and Roswaal were standing there.
"Are you really planning to come with us?" Emilia asked hesitantly. "But we have important business in the Royal Capital..."
"And then?" Fang Li said irritably, "Are you worried that I'll bother you?"
"No...nothing like that!" Emilia quickly shook her head.
"That settles it then?" Fang Li smiled slightly.
That smile was extremely indifferent.
"Although, I'd much rather this time it wasn't a wasted trip..."
