The witch's contract
To be honest, Bai Mo himself didn't even know he possessed this thing. When he delivered the final blow to Poseidon, he didn't notice at all that he had taken away a portion of the sea god's authority.
Throughout his journey, this thing remained completely unnoticed, as he had only taken a small portion due to the urgency of the situation, and the eras he subsequently visited were generally not suitable for him.
Fuyuki and Mifune, the Age of Gods has faded away, Uruk and other Ages of Gods, the gods who govern the seas have other existences, and only in this Britain Lostbelt.
There are no gods in the world, but Morgan forcibly preserved the environment of the divine era.
The Dahai no longer rejected this life that came from the lake, and embraced her into the cradle of this primal life. She began to be reborn from a rotten body.
Splash! Melusine was pulled out of the sea. She could feel the strong heartbeat in her body. Looking out, the sunlight shone on the sea, making it sparkle, and the cool sea breeze brushed against her long, silvery-white hair.
"What a nice view."
Emerging from the shadow of death, I realize how wonderful life is.
As they landed on the shore, Bai Mo was about to put her down when Melusine clung to Bai Mo's waist, seemingly reluctant to leave.
"Melusine, you can let go now."
Melusine raised her head, her long, silvery-white hair reaching her knees, her perfectly beautiful face filled with reluctance. She spoke somewhat hesitantly:
"Can't you hold me a little longer... even though you did that to me."
"What are you talking about? What kind of thing is that? I'll sue you for defamation!"
"You're so mean." The girl buried her face in the hole and nuzzled against it playfully. "You're just going to walk right into my most precious memories. I don't hate it, but at least don't push me away so quickly."
It's hard to reconcile the guy in front of me with the Fairy Knight Lancelot. In Britain, Fairy Knight Lancelot is practically the perfect, pure knight in the mouths of all fairies.
But now, she's just a pure-hearted girl who's reluctant to part.
The sea breeze blew, lifting her beautiful long silver hair. Melusine took Bai Mo's hand and intertwined their fingers. In that instant, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Fate is truly an unpredictable thing. When she was born, she thought she had encountered the most precious thing in the world, but in the end, it turned out to be ugliness hidden beneath beauty.
She was willing to give everything for it, only to receive a heartbreaking result. Just when she thought she would sink into oblivion and revert to that writhing, rotting flesh...
Fate brought her to this beautiful destiny once again.
Melusine looked at the man in front of her. Sunlight shone on his face, which was like a face carefully sculpted by an ancient Greece sculptor. It had the unique heroism of youth, but also a maturity that had been through many storms.
That's great, it's perfect in every aspect...
"So, what's your situation now? You haven't blown up half of Britain, have you?"
After Bai Mo finished speaking, Melusine seemed to have no reaction at all. Bai Mo waved his hand in front of her eyes before she belatedly realized what was happening.
"No, this is my second life, and many things have changed. Before, I didn't want to touch any water other than lake water, but now I don't resist seawater at all."
My main form is still a dragon, but I might now have some of the characteristics of a water spirit; I can not only fly, but also dive!
Thank you, thank you so much for giving me a second life.
As she spoke, she tightened her embrace, as if she wanted to embed her petite body into it.
"Don't use so much force... Okay, I have things to do in Orkney, what about you?"
"I... I want to be with you... at least for this part of the journey."
Seeing Melusine's state, Bai Mo could only sigh helplessly and lead her back to the lake area they had visited before. Oh no, it couldn't be called a lake area anymore, since Melusine had just blown it up.
"Oh, my hometown, it's gone..."
Melusine knelt on the ground, utterly dejected. This swamp in Albion was her homeland, but now, she had flown away from it and crashed into the Dahai.
"At least we know where it landed, and the result is better than it exploding."
Bai Mo stood beside her, sighing helplessly, "Besides, you're not worried about the seawater anymore; you can just bring it back someday."
"That's true." Melusine quickly accepted this, having left her hometown and emerged from her sorrow. She reached out and swiftly grasped Bai Mo's hand, their fingers intertwined, feeling each other's warmth.
"I haven't even gotten used to the second fate you've given me yet, I've already forgotten about this. Besides, I've fallen into the sea, so I don't have to worry about being watched."
Melusine smiled sweetly, just then Morgan's voice came from the side.
"It seems everything has been resolved."
Morgan approached with a somewhat relieved smile, but her gaze immediately shifted from Bai Mo to Melusine's interlocked hands. The smile on her face vanished for a moment, but she quickly composed herself again.
"Your Majesty! Oh, I never expected you to come and save me. I used to think you were a cold-blooded, cruel queen who killed without blinking an eye."
"You've got it wrong, Melusine. Saving you is just Bai Mo's wishful thinking. Well, your gratitude is fine, after all, he's someone important to me, and we share the same stance..."
So let go of my hand right now.
"Okay, I understand."
With a hint of reluctance, Melusine let go of her hand. Then, Morgan pulled out a scroll from somewhere, unfurled it, and words with an eerie glow appeared on it.
"Okay, now, if there are no problems, let's sign this."
"Um... what is this, Your Majesty?"
"It's nothing, just a slave contract. After all, something like this has happened, you should be somewhat prepared. Don't worry, all you need to do is give your soul to work for us for 15,000 years."
"Ugh!" Melusine quickly hid behind Bai Mo, peeking out half her head and trembling as she looked at the thing.
Are you kidding me? My previous job was already exhausting enough. Signing this contract will definitely mean even tougher work than Fairy Knight. The old schedule of starting work at 1 p. m. and finishing at 5 p. m. is definitely over.
That alone is unacceptable! After all, Morgan wasn't the one who pulled her out of her slump.
"What's wrong, Melusine? You're not planning to just say thank you after receiving such great help and then go back to Aurora, are you?"
Hurry up, sign it. Come on, put your handprint here. It might hurt a little, but it'll be over in a second.
Morgan flashed that classic fairytale witch's smile, just like a sorceress tricking a princess into eating a poisoned apple.
"Um, Bai Mo, what do you want me to do...?"
Melusine looked at Bai Mo. If Bai Mo were to speak up, she would accept it even if it meant selling her soul. But Bai Mo helplessly rolled up the seemingly impressive scroll back, his tone tinged with resignation.
"Alright, Morgan, we can't keep using this kind of manipulation on her. She's already pitiful enough. Aurora?"
You're the best!
Seeing this, Melusine hugged Bai Mo tightly. Because of her extreme speed, Bai Mo had no way to dodge whatever she wanted to do.
Morgan scoffed, "Fine, but I must warn you, this guy's blind loyalty to Aurora is unimaginable. If you continue like this, she'll leave sooner or later."
"That's alright. Where she flies is her own business. I didn't save her because I wanted anything in return."
