756 The Battle Half a Month Ago (1/2)

Doris knew that she had made a horrible mistake the moment she said it. She slapped her golden fish tail on the surface of the ocean, raising a splash of waves and water.

In the middle of the splash, her body was suddenly blurred. Even though Lucien's spiritual power and Natasha's willpower had been fixated on her, they both felt that they had suddenly lost their target. They watched her turn transparent and melt without a sign, like snow that had met the sun of July!

Doris completely melted after only one moment. She joined the ocean, and white foams surged up on the ocean, reflecting the dim and pale sunlight.

Lucien could not sense Doris with his spiritual power anymore, as if she had truly melted into the ocean. Or rather, every tiniest foam was her!

Foams were broken one after another, and the whiteness on the surface of the blue ocean was about to vanish when Lucien used the unpredictable and intricate voice that sounded from a different world.

”Space Staff!”

The environment shook hard, and a brilliant but dark staff was condensed in Lucien's hand. As he pointed with the staff, the whole ocean spread out ripples of light, like a lake at night!

Those ripples separated the waters within the dozens of square meters from around. If one were to calm down and sense carefully, they would find it impossible to perceive the ocean hundreds of meters below, because it was in a different time and space!

In the space-time cage, the ocean trembled with blueness. Suddenly, the water in a certain area surged and consolidated into a translucent ”statue” that looked like a sapphire. Then, the face of the statue became clear. It was Doris. Her gold tail leaped out of the ocean too.

Doris looked at Lucien and Natasha with her blue eyes while biting her lips without saying anything, as if she were weighing the consequences.

”I am a friendly good guy, and I don't like fighting and unnecessary slaughter. I hope that you won't let me do the things that I don't like,” Lucien said with a gentle smile, but his eyes were not gentle at all.

Doris was not a sorcerer, and she did not have other strange methods of escape. She was unwilling to fight Lucien who was apparently much stronger than her either, in which case she would only have a ten percent chance of survival. It was a risk that a mermaid who loved singing and swimming freely like her could not accept. Therefore, she nodded her head. ”If you want to know about the Blue Gate, I can tell you.”

She blamed herself for singing too devotedly just now. If she had noticed the two human beings sooner, she would've had enough time to escape instead of ending up like this.

”To make sure that you are telling the truth, please sign a magic contract with me, Ms. Doris.” Lucien was still wearing his standard smile of courtesy.

”Contract! Demon, I would rather die before I accept a slavery contract!” A storm of fury raged in Doris' blue eyes and dimmed the environment around her. The sky was gloomy and depressing, and the water in the ocean stopped moving, as if a horrifying outbreak was underway.

She had heard before that certain quirky human beings had an unusual interest in mermaids, even though most mermaids could not turn into humans and lose their fish tails. Therefore, she would rather die in self-detonation than submitting herself, hoping that her final attack could heavily wound the wicked sorcerer!

Lucien chuckled. ”This contract has no clauses of slavery. It only ensures that I will sense it immediately if you lie or if you tell other people my whereabouts and destination afterward.”

Under normal circumstances, nobody would sign such a contract, and it was obviously unfair. Also, the devils and fake gods who served as notary might refuse to provide a better guarantee because of that. However, Doris did not really have a choice right now.

She struggled to open her mouth. ”Let me take a look at the contract.”

Lucien took out a contract that was made of the rind of an elven tree. He pressed his right hand on it and touched it. The paper immediately spread out a silver light.

After his right hand moved away, dozens of sophisticated clauses had been added to the contract.

Doris picked up the contract that Lucien tossed over and read carefully. She realized that the contract would have zero effect if she did not lie or reveal that they were going to the Blue Gate, but of course, if she violated that, she would receive the punishment from the Atomic Universe, which would mean her death.

”Atomic Universe…” Doris looked at Lucien. Why was he the notary of the contract?

As one of the seven sea generals under the command of the Master of the Boundless Ocean, and as the Mermaid Princess who was active in the territory of sea elves, she had the basic knowledge about the Congress of Magic.

Lucien said with a smile, ”It's my wife that you'll be signing the magic contract with. As for me, as a legendary sorcerer who has my own demiplane, I am certainly qualified to be the notary of the contract. I'm even more professional than most devils. My punishment won't have any delay.”

That was why the word ”legendary” was used to describe the experts of such a level. They were capable of what other people couldn't do!

Looking at the pitiful look on Doris' frowning face, Natasha sighed in the telepathic bond. ”I almost cannot watch this anymore. You are really not a gentleman.”
