episode_0142

It was the same after that. No matter how many times he tried to go anywhere, kill anyone, and take over the house, he failed every time. Since she did not become an expert in the normal way, her swordsmanship was at a soldier’s level at best.

Horrible.

Sasha, hiding under the bridge, grabbed a dagger.

‘It’s no longer possible.’

The siege network is gradually narrowing.

I could tell just by the broken liquor bottle rolling at my feet and its reflection.

He was dirtier than a beggar in the back alley.

I’d rather be chased like this.

It was the moment she prepared to die.

A book appeared before my eyes.

At that time, I saw it at the Marquis’ residence.

‘Didn’t I hear it wrong?’

I unconsciously stretched out my hand.

[My name is the Great Grimoire! Human, I grant you the right to make a contract with me!]

The moment I picked up the book, a sound rang in my head. It was the voice of a child.

“…What are the contract terms?”

Sasha spoke calmly. I remembered. A voice I heard in my head while I was at the Marquis’ residence. Obviously, ‘Do you want to sign a contract?’ It was.

[…isn’t it urgent? In times like this, please sign a contract and give me strength! no?]

“Heh.”

Sasha chuckled. It was a laugh. The mummified marquis and the book next to him, no matter how stupid he is, wouldn’t he be able to figure it out?

[Well, okay. Give me your soul.]

“……You mean you’re going to die?”

[huh. But I will hold off until your wish comes true.]

“…I don’t like it.”

[Hehe?]

“…I don’t even know your strength.”

[hmm. Then let’s taste it.]

“What did you do…?”

Sasha became urgent. I said it strongly, but when I thought there was hope, I became greedy.

“If I die, won’t you be in trouble too? If I get killed by them, you’ll lose your contract too, right? Do you think anyone would sign a contract with someone like you?”

No matter how much she said, there was no answer from the book.

“Damn.”

Sasha bit her nails.

‘Should you have just said you signed a contract?’

No, not really, at least… Then why did he die? Wasn’t his wish to destroy the imperial family?

okay. Magi, the reason the Marquis was able to gain magic energy, and the reason it happened because he lacked magic energy.

The soul was, after all, a condition demanded by the book. Then change the terms of the contract…

There was a clanking sound.

‘They are knights!’

Sasha stopped breathing and stepped back. My body ached from the cool sensation on my back.

There were so many that I had no idea how many there were.

He seemed certain that she was already here.

‘shit.’

It was the moment when Sasha, who had a premonition of the end, was about to hit the ground.

“What… ?”

“There isn’t one, right?”

“The traces led this way.”

“Did it really soar into the sky?”

Sasha inadvertently stopped breathing.

Even though she was right up against the wall, it wasn’t like I couldn’t see her.

One, two, three, ten, twenty, forty, we see not only knights but also wizards.

‘Crazy people, why are they going to catch me?’

They acted as if they were invisible.

‘Is it invisibility?’

It’s so high that even magic can’t detect it.

* * *

“Haaㅡ.”

Sasha entered the bathroom and let out a sigh of relief.

“How long has it been since I last had warm water… .”

Life as a fugitive devastated her spirit.

“You can rest here for a while, right?”

Her expression relaxes as she enters the bathtub for the first time in a while.

[Why don’t you sign a contract now?]

A child’s voice that seems to be urging.

“What are the conditions?”

[20% of soul]

“Isn’t that too much?”

Sasha chuckled. A leisurely laugh. I learned quite a lot in four days. Sometimes it’s an old man, sometimes it’s a young man, it keeps changing. I felt like a devil whispering sweetly.

‘The basic voice probably sounds like a child.’

After finishing her bath, Sasha got out of the bath and stuck to the wall.

“I’m not asking for a contract. What about 1%?”

After checking for presence, I opened the door.

To sign a book contract, you need some qualifications. As he was qualified to do so, he must have been quite important to him.

[Humans are petty.]

Sasha ignored the grumbling book and moved quietly.

I left the large bathhouse and headed to the 3rd floor.

“Other rooms won’t work, right?”

Even the eyes of users have to be avoided.

Sasha quietly opened the door. It was the marquis’ room.

“It was a little dusty.”

Considering the title of marquis, the room is simple and simple.

“It’ll be okay for a while.”

Sasha let out a sigh of relief.

“I heard you did well back then.”

Sasha smiled proudly. She recalled scolding the arrogant maid who had ignored her, calling her a commoner.

Crackling, crackling, clothes are torn.

Her brown hair was roughly caught, and the eyes of the maid who had been trembling arrogantly while claiming to be a nobleman were stained with fear.

‘Aaaah, aaaah, now, I was wrong, please forgive me this once, never again, I’ll just leave the marquis’ mansion, please.’

‘Hehehe, I’m just doing what I’m told.’

It was only after being grabbed by Hanson and having his clothes torn and crushed that he cried.

‘If something like this happens, you’re always welcome, kekeke.’

After that incident, all that remained were the users who had nowhere to go.

“As expected, I didn’t do anything wrong.”

After finishing reminiscing, Sasha took a step forward.

The Marquis’ body was seen, just as before.

“That. You did it, right?”

[This is a side effect of not complying with the contract. The wish he wanted was so powerful that I could not achieve it. To achieve that, preliminary preparation and sacrifice are required.]

“Oh, that’s ok, if you don’t want to answer, it’s longer.”

Sasha shook her head as if she didn’t want to hear it and lay down on the sofa. He looked so relaxed that it was hard to believe he was a fugitive.

“Mmm. It’s a little disappointing.”

The human body was truly treacherous. Compared to before I came into contact with books, my life was like heaven.

Still, it felt like it wasn’t enough for her, who always slept in a luxurious bed.

“I should change it to a more expensive one.”

After tossing and turning several times on the sofa, she got up.

This was when Sasha, standing in front of the bed, approached the Marquis’ body.

“…What?!”

The skinny Mira jumped up and grabbed Sasha’s neck.

“What…?!”

[It’s magic, it’s a simple command, it seems to be set to attack when certain conditions are met.]

“Ugh… that’s okay, help me.”

Sasha held the Marquis’ hand. It doesn’t even budge.

‘It’s too strong.’

The Marquis’s hand tightened as if he were going to break Sasha’s neck.

[Let’s make a contract.]

‘5%’

Sasha opened her eyes wide. I couldn’t speak any more.

[20%]

‘5%’

[20%]

‘I’m dying.’

[You pathetic human being, if you don’t like it even 10%, just die.]

‘let’s do it.’

The book shined.

phut. A shock wave is generated and the Marquis’ body is thrown onto the bed.

“Korea gasp, gasp, gasp.”

barely escaped.

Sasha took a deep breath.

“…that. He’s dead, right?”

[Yes. I recommend leaving this place.]

A somewhat familiar old man’s voice.

“Why?”

[Heh, are you stupid? I may have blocked it for a while, but it won’t last long, so it will slowly spread to the person who installed it?]

A child’s voice that sounds like it’s mocking.

“…!”

Sasha, who had furrowed her brow, belatedly started packing her luggage.

[I don’t know if I get caught.]

Sasha’s complexion turned pale. According to the book, he was a magician of an incredible level.

*

“Scammer.”

Sasha huffed and puffed as she left the mansion.

[what? The contractor is the one who didn’t ask exactly.]

Sasha bit her lip. The power gained in exchange for 10% of souls was more shabby than expected.

I was able to use some magic that I couldn’t use originally, but considering the current situation, I was able to avoid a crisis thanks to illusion magic.

But it was a complacent idea.

‘Can’t I use invisibility again?’

[That takes a lot of strength.]

Sasha clicked her tongue.

[It’s possible with normal transparency, but it would be more suspicious.]

Originally, advanced stealth techniques that could avoid being tracked by knights were classified as high-class magic.

[30% plus space movement. how is it?]

“……”

Sasha kept her mouth shut. It was an essential skill for her as a fugitive.

* * *

‘Citizens were attacked?’

[Yes, sorry. It was discovered quickly and there were no casualties.]

Marian’s mouth twitched as she listened to Nazar’s report.

[Thanks to using the potion, there is no danger to my life… but I used the highest quality potion…]

‘Okay, how long does it take to do that?’

Although I said it casually, the price of the highest quality potion is over 1,000 gold. This is a large amount of money that a commoner cannot earn even if he earns it in his entire life. Still, Marian didn’t care.

‘First of all, it’s our responsibility, so don’t forget about compensation.’

[All right.]

Marian sighed after hearing Nazar say that something like this would never happen again.

‘They tell you to keep the potion with you. Make sure to move in pairs of three or more, and since the potion was made to do that, there’s nothing to spare.’

[All right.]

Nazar smiled inwardly.

Does the lady know?

That your consideration saved a family.

“…I will not ask about life or death.”

After completing the communication, Nazar let out a cold sigh.

“Yes.”

The answer I heard from the darkness.

They were assassins summoned by Nazar.

*

“……Marian.”

“As expected. My younger brother…”

“Marian…”

“Miss, we will never leave the mansion.”

“That’s right, if you want, I’ll stay in your room or right next to you.”

I was glaring at my father, but eventually I closed my eyes as I saw the faces of my family filling up my eyes and the maids stamping their feet behind them.

‘What on earth did you say?’

“Let’s eat with Dad.”

“Should I count the money with my younger brother and sister?”

Even though it seemed like I was just sitting in the room, I was still watching and listening and spinning my head. Why are you making such a fuss because you can’t leave me alone? Strictly speaking, I’m not alone because I have Elaine.

“The head of the household, the head of the household, and the young lady need time alone to think…”

Sarah said cautiously. But the backlash came right away.

“How delicate our daughter is, doesn’t the aide even know that!”

“That’s right, how shocked my sister was! That’s why I’m so depressed that I can’t even respond to such strange things.”

No, Dad, what do you mean, Sarah is 100% right? And sister, it’s not that I couldn’t respond, but I just ignored it.

“Ha, but the lady…”

You said you wanted to be alone. Sarah, who was about to say that, kept her mouth shut.

The Duke and Maria’s maids, everyone’s eyes are speaking. Our girl is like a piece of glass that breaks if you touch it!

“Sorry, sorry.”

Sarah bowed her head. The wavy blue hair and drooping shoulders looked sad.

“Why are you doing this to Sarah!”

I hugged Sarah and looked around with fierce eyes. My family was quick to avoid my eyes. It was absurd.

Among my aides, he is a valuable person who has not yet been tainted by favors.

As a 6th Circle Master, she was a talent who would be treated preferentially wherever she went. Moreover, how good is this sister at her job?

“Ah, the lady… . He hugged me, nope. Even if I die now, Yeohanㅡ.”

I slowly let go and went back to bed.

‘Damn, it’s already contaminated.’

In the end, all my family members couldn’t overcome my stubbornness and left.
