Chapter 25 A Master-Servant Contract
Diderit walked around the huge cat, stood beside Fitch, looking at the poor kitten opposite him. "So pitiful, so dangerous... Are you going to save it?"
"Yes, it's obvious. The voice I heard guided me to save it. But I couldn't think of a safe way."
The black kitten was trapped in a broken mud nest, which was half-hanging and half-squeezing and stuck on the bulge of the rock. The rock was in the middle of the nearly vertical cliff, and there was a fatal distance between the cliffs. Although the kitten and Fitch were only four meters apart, these four meters were really deadly.
"The old cat's arms are too long to reach it, and it doesn't have the strength to do this." Feiqi pointed to the expanding blood stains under the black cat's body: "It will die in a while, and it is in a bad state. Even if it asks for help, I dare not agree. You and I will do it."
Diderit poked his head out of the cliff here, looked at the rock below, and thought for a while and said, "I have an idea. You tie me up with a rope, and I can jump over the distance of these few meters. When I pass, I hold the cat and jump back as much as possible. You can pull me up with the rope."
"Do you still have a rope? My rope was given to Tron in a big backpack." Feichi waved his hand: "Dili, even if there is a rope, this plan is too dangerous. Look at the rock opposite. The cliff is different from the stones on our side, it is too crisp. You can jump over it, but the impact force will cause the rock to break, so you can't stand at all. If you look carefully, you can see the damage caused to the mountain when the cat nest flies over."
Didert looked carefully and found the impact traces that Feich mentioned, and nodded reluctantly. The ghost cat's nest is made of branches, mud and grass, and is not strong. It can smash the cliff after being swept away by a griffin. The impact force brought by her weight and speed is much higher than that of a mud, not to mention the solid armor, which is like a horn collision.
The wind erosion of the fragile cliff is several times that of the platform, which has brought major obstacles to the rescue work. But if it weren't for the fragile rocks, the mud nest would only break on the rocks, and then all the ghost cats fell down, and once they died, there would be no rescue work.
Diderit looked around Nibawo and said, "I might be able to jump to..."
Feiqi interrupted her: "Do you think the rock is brittle, so you want to jump to the side and insert the sword into it as support, so that you can form a platform that can stabilize yourself, and then climb over to save the cat?" He shook his head: "You may peel off the entire cliff in this way, and then press down on you and the cat. Even if you tie a rope, you can't save it. No, Dili, I won't let you risk your life."
"Then..." Diderit looked at the cat squirming in horror and became more and more anxious: "This is not OK, that is not OK, you are thinking of a way! By the way, can you SUA, SUA move objects? How about floating that cat over?"
"I'm thinking too..." Feiqi squatted down, looking hesitant: "The distance of the spell is enough and the weight is enough. The cat looks all furry and won't be too heavy. But the problem is..."
"Can you say it quickly? What's the problem?"
"I can't move, the kitten must remain unmoved at all." Feichi spoke almost gritted his teeth. "The conditions for using spells to carry objects are very harsh. Once the object is locked, any shape changes will invalidate the lock. That is to say, I can let it fly to us, but as long as it stretches its legs, or opens its mouth and screams, the spell will become invalid. It will fall out of the spell range before I can lock it again with the spell, and then dies."
"You can't move at all? What if the wind blows your hair?"
"Blinking your eyes is almost the limit." Feiqi sighed: "There must be room for improvement in magic transport, but it is not time to improve now. This method depends on the performance of the kitten. The longer it can persist, the closer it gets to our side, the greater the chance of success. This... This is the only one that does not require anyone to risk their lives and has the greatest success rate."
"No, I'd better tie it with a rope and jump over." As soon as Diderit finished speaking, he found that Feich stretched out his hand to the black cat and said, "SUA!"
Diderit's heart suddenly jumped into her throat. She wanted to exclaim, but suddenly she thought that her scream might scare the cat, causing it to move around, and then the spell failed, fell off the cliff, and died. The female paladin held back the scream with amazing will, covering her mouth with her hands tightly, and her whole body stiffened. However, she found that the kitten on the cliff had not moved, except for her head turning and looking at Fitch.
"You scared me to death..." Diderit then realized that his voice was hoarse.
"Don't talk, I tried the spell and could hold up the cat. Now I have to let it know that I want to save it, it can't move."
"Can you talk to animals?" Diderit obviously didn't believe it. "Beast trainers don't have this ability, right?"
"I can at least hear the cat's meow in my heart." Feiqi suddenly stopped moving, only his eyes slowly moved to the kitten's position, and then he was facing the black and bright eyes.
'Your mom asks me to save you, I want to save you, so you must concentrate.' Fitch said silently in his heart, just as he had a spiritual conversation with the dying ghost cat to sign a contract. 'Your life is maintained in my spell, an invisible power is connected between you and me. I will hold you up with the power of the spell, and you will obey me: When I carry you from the cliff, don't do anything.'
"hair?"
The ghost cat cub screamed, then stood up from the nest, came to the edge of danger, and looked at Feige. Diderit was so nervous that she was about to kneel down. She kept having the fantasy of the kitten stepping into the air and then falling down, and even causing a strange sound to rumbling in her throat.
"Don't make trouble." Feiqi whispered. Diderit came to his senses and quickly placed his hand on the holy emblem on the chest of the armor, silently recited the name of the goddess, and prayed to her for courage and blessing.
"Don't use magic, I'm worried about interference." Feiqi added. In fact, he was afraid that magic would attract the attention of the goddess, and when he was using magic, he might bring out some devil's aura, which would be troublesome. Soothe Didrit and continue to persuade the ghost cat cubs. 'Do you understand? Your life is maintained on my spell, obey the orders, and don't move! When you are ready, just meow twice.'
"Hairy?Hairy..."
The pronunciation is very inaccurate, but this should be a signal, right? Feiqi stared at the kitten, and at that moment he felt a connection, a sound that was louder than the devil's contract came into his heart. The sound was not based on some language of the text, but was more like a music that directly stimulated emotions. That emotion was trust.
"SUA!" Feiqi decisively cast the spell.
The ghost cat cub floated up and then floated straight towards Feichi. The mountain wind blew across, and the kitten swayed around, like a cable car hanging on a rope. This shaking obviously affected the stability of the spell, but the kitten miraculously stayed still, his eyes firmly locked at Feichi, and his body was not moving at all.
It curled its legs like that, its tail pressed under its belly, and handed all its trust to Feige. Diderit didn't know when he stopped praying, nor when tears came down.
The kitten floated over, then fell down, and fell into Feichi's arms. It also understood that it was saved, and rolled on Feichi's chest with its pure black body, then closed its eyes, stretched out its bright red tongue, and licked it on his hands. At this time, the female cat let out a whine, and the kitten immediately raised its head, tried to open its mouth wide, and responded: "Furry?"
‘Save them.’ The female cat could not turn and could not climb to the edge of the cliff, so she could not see the situation there.
‘Only this one. The others... the others were swept down by the griffin.’ Feiqi carried the kitten over and showed it to her. ‘What do you have any other ideas? Should I release it or raise it? Winter is coming soon, releasing it is actually a dead end. Only by raising it can you live.’
‘Devil, you…’ the female cat stopped talking. It looked at Feich, looked at the kitten, then stretched out its long tail, rolled the kitten from Feich's arms, and placed it on the **. ‘I feed it one last time, and you can take everything away.’
"Didrit, can you ask for a favor?" Feiqi looked at the kitten who was lying on his mother and knew nothing about many things, and suddenly said to the female knight: "I want to keep this cat, but it takes a little time to eat. Can you set out to chase Tron now? I will wait for a while to chase you and I can squeeze out a little more time."
"I'll engrave you with a sword on the road, don't get lost. And... don't wait too long." Didert looked at the kitten, patted Feich on the shoulder, and then decisively began to chase the looming figures of Tron and others.
Milk is blood, filtered with love. The ghost cat cub is petite and can't drink much. It quickly burped and its eyes are confused and wants to sleep. The previous attack of the griffin, coupled with the fear hanging on the edge of the cliff, made it very tired. However, before it went to bed, the female cat rolled it up with its tail, put it back into Feichi's arms, and then patted it reluctantly.
"Fur..." The kitten smacked his lips, squeezed into his chest, and closed his eyes with confidence.
‘It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, death really hurts. I can’t give it milk anymore, so... Devil, let’s end it all.’ The female cat stretched her head forward with force, exposed her neck, and then closed her eyes.
Feiqi held the kitten with one hand, took off the spear with the other, and stabbed it hard. The spear is a weapon used with both hands, which is not as good as the soul harvesting dagger, and the latter is sharper and sharper. However, Feiqi did not want such a soul to become a part of hell, and returning to nature is a better choice.
But his hands still felt the heat absorbed by his soul, which was more enthusiastic than ever before. The contract still took effect. The ghost cat mother admitted the contract, and her soul became the income of the contract demon.
