Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3926 It turns out I'm the protagonist!
"Ah~~~~"

Upon hearing that she had to join the Clockwork House, Chimera let out a long, reluctant sound, her emotions written all over her face.

Cameron silently rubbed her forehead, her lips twitching slightly. This child's emotional intelligence is really low. Whether she's happy or not, she shouldn't show it in front of everyone.

Sure enough, the scholars from the House of Clockwork turned pale, their beards trembled, and they looked displeased. They also showed a hesitation that they hadn't shown before, as they were considering whether to try the second method.

If it weren't for the fact that no one had been able to resonate with the Rubik's Cube for decades, and Lord Ye Lin's deliberate favoritism, she, an outsider, would never have had the chance to touch the Clockwork House's treasure.

It feels like this girl wants the Clockwork House to give her the Rubik's Cube for free, and then let her be free and unrestrained, without having to worry about "after-sales service".

Ye Lin smiled. He then addressed Camellia, the protector of the territory:
"Please witness a magical contract. The two parties to the contract are the House of Clockwork and the Chimera. You can discuss the specific details, and the Chimera reserves the right to veto any clause before the contract is signed."

“Yes, Bamu.”

Camerin nodded, snapped her fingers, and a magic circle appeared, summoning her contracted divine beast, the Constellation Spirit Turtle, from which she took a piece of paper for signing a magic contract.

Just as she was about to hand it to the Clockwork House, the Zodiac Turtle suddenly accelerated and crashed into Camellia's slender waist, causing her to lose her balance and fall towards Night Forest, who caught her by the shoulder.

The mischievous constellation spirits wouldn't even sneak into the magic circle, giving their masters no time to react.

“Thank you, this guy…” Cameron’s face turned slightly red.

Ye Lin joked:
"Haven't you given it a nice name yet?"

Cameron's constellation tortoise used to be casually called "Turtle, Turtle...", but when it learned that Shumo's constellation tortoise had a name, "Umu," it became unhappy and wanted a proper name too, so it kept arguing with Cameron.

"I've already decided, how about calling it Bamu? I've just been so busy that I forgot to tell it." Camellia's helpless expression was evident. The peaceful era of the divine realm had arrived, but the guardians of the earthly realms were not taking it easy just because of peace.

Peace is the trend of the times, but there are many conflicts between people and things under the grand concept. Bai Hai's Xiao Shumo is working overtime.

The scholars of the House of Clockwork discussed the contents of the magic contract, while Chimera, as the "second party," was temporarily free and had an afternoon to spare.

She just needs to wait for the terms of the contract to be finalized, and then raise any objections she has, and they can renegotiate.

Ye Lin glanced at the wall clock; it was already noon. He then suggested treating everyone to lunch.

The scholars from the Clockwork House quickly declined, saying that they should be the ones treating, as this was the Clockwork House, they were the hosts, and Night Forest was the guest; it was not right for a guest to treat.

They then gratefully invited the Third Princess, the cool Cyrus, and the strong-legged Saler, who had helped them the previous night, to visit them. Gratitude is a basic moral principle.

If it weren't for their intervention, many people in the Clockwork House might have died.

"Because it was too rushed, we were unable to prepare properly in advance. We hope you will forgive us." After expressing his gratitude, the leader of Clockwork House apologized. Due to the suddenness of the event, they could only host a banquet for everyone at a famous high-end restaurant in Misty Hill.

Of course, there was also a formal thank-you gift.

Ye Lin glanced around at the restaurant's decor, name, and logo; everything looked familiar. He immediately realized that this was probably one of Sai Fu Po's insignificant businesses.

During the banquet, after the Third Princess accidentally revealed her identity, the leader of the Clockwork House immediately expressed his hope that the two sides could establish a friendly relationship and explore areas for cooperation.

The Third Princess nudged Ye Lin with her elbow and asked if it was okay, how it went.

She knew that Ye Lin was firmly opposed to the flow of Celestial weapons into the Arad Continent. Even long ago, when Emperor Lyon made him his son-in-law and bestowed upon him great honor, status, and countless riches, he never wavered in his stance on this matter.

"No problem." Ye Lin nodded in affirmation.

The restriction on weapons in the celestial realm is to avoid the situation of "celestial prohibition," and firearms have absolute dominance over low-level enemies.

However, the main weapon of the divine realm is the bow and arrow, so even if it were to flow into the Arad continent, it would not affect the foundation of civilization.

"Celia and Norsadia are probably gossiping about me behind my back again." After saying this, the Third Princess winked playfully at Ye Lin with her left eye, her beautiful face full of liveliness and energy.

The Third Princess always possessed a healthy and beautiful aura. Just by getting close, one could feel her vigorous vitality, and every move she made seemed to be full of energy.

Faced with the Third Princess's captivating gaze, Ye Lin felt slightly guilty.

He knew that the Third Princess meant that all of Celia and Norsadia's efforts were not as good as her accidental stumble upon the divine realm.

It should be noted that there is only one country in the Celestial Realm, and all four continents are under the leadership of Emperor Elije. After opening up shipping routes with the Divine Realm, how to divide the resources of the four continents is an internal matter for the Seventh Empire.

The same applies to the Eternal Continent beneath the Sky Sea.

However, the Arad continent is different. There are multiple countries on the Arad continent, with no unified government and each has its own leaders. Trade and shipping with the divine realm are currently in the initial stages.

The queens tacitly refrained from bothering Ye Lin with this matter. They were kings, monarchs, and emperors, not mere ornaments or dependents. Their relationships with the divine realm were their own responsibility to resolve.

Therefore, the Third Princess inadvertently helped the Clockwork House, established a friendly relationship, and gained their trust. This will undoubtedly allow the Delos Empire to take an important step towards the realm of gods, becoming the first among the several countries on the Arad continent to do so.

This was a major diplomatic event, a remarkable achievement worthy of being recorded, and yet the Third Princess just casually orchestrated it. Celia and Norsadia, especially the eldest sister who values ​​her reputation, must be feeling quite envious.

Ye Lin felt guilty because the Third Princess was unaware that her two older sisters, the noble and aloof First Princess and the well-educated Second Princess, as well as their personal maids, had all been stuffed into cream puffs by him.

…………

in the afternoon.

Ye Lin took Chimera out alone to a deserted observation deck on a high floor overlooking the street, where they could see the bustling fog.

"Why do you still look so reluctant? Didn't you say you would pay any price for the Rubik's Cube?"

Chimera, pouting, turned her head away, refusing to look at him, but her words were honest, and she replied stiffly:
"I'm just talking nonsense."

"It's like asking someone, 'If you had five million, would you be willing to donate half of it to help others?' They would probably say yes, but if they actually had five million, then it's not certain."

Before getting the Rubik's Cube, I could say anything I wanted, including extreme things like "I'm willing to give everything".

At that time, she felt that she had no chance of obtaining the Rubik's Cube through normal means, and could only try to steal it, but the success rate was very low and it was life-threatening.

Now that she actually has a chance to get the Rubik's Cube, but has to sign an "unfair" contract, she can't help but overthink things.

Ye Lin smiled and walked towards the vending machine next to him. A voice came from behind him: "I want the cantaloupe flavor."

"I never said I was going to invite you..."

"Then I owe you five yuan."

Chimera tossed over a can of cantaloupe-flavored drink, which she caught steadily. Instead of opening it immediately, she crouched down to peer into the gap between the vending machine and the ground, saying:
"Because of a design flaw in this type of vending machine, there is no coin holder in the coin dispenser area, so occasionally coins will fall out of your hand and roll down."

"If it's not easy to reach at this point, some people will choose to give up."

"Wow! There really is one! Lucky me!"

Chimera took a soft metal hook from her body, rummaged around inside, and pulled out six slightly dirty coins. She wiped them casually on her body and handed five to Ye Lin. "No need, it's on you."

Chimera didn't hesitate, stuffing the coin into her pocket with lingering excitement on her cheeks, and then popped open the cantaloupe-flavored soda.

Ye Lin's expression was slightly strange. The Chimera who was happy to find money was the same Chimera who almost blew up the Clockwork House that morning.

He continued:
"The Rubik's Cube was left to the Clockwork House by the Hermit Kelton. The Clockwork House treasures it and has kept it for decades. They would never give it to you for nothing."

Chimera held a melon-flavored soda. She would be obedient for a while after being lectured, but only for a short time.

"I know you want to make the Rubik's Cube your own, to use it freely and play with it however you like, that would be really cool."

Chimera nodded; yes, that was exactly what she thought.

"The Rubik's Cube is a mysterious item. A few people know that it was left by the hermit Kelton, and even fewer know that it was only sealed by Kelton and that its power does not come from him."

"And you know what, powerful people are often concerned about their image, which is why they find it hard to accept that you resonate with the Rubik's Cube, let alone accept that it can be taken away by an outsider like you."

"But they won't deliberately make things difficult for you, because you are the only one who can resonate with the Rubik's Cube. If they try to trip you up, it would be disrespectful to me and to the God of Mist."

"The Clockwork House is like marrying off a daughter. They won't ask you for a house or a car, but they will symbolically accept a dowry and a few promises from you to treat their daughter well in the future, so that they feel that the Rubik's Cube was not taken away for nothing and can feel more comfortable."

Hearing Ye Lin say this, the Chimera nodded as if it understood, but in short, it meant one thing... don't even think about taking it away.

"Let's go," Cameron telepathically told me, "the contract has been drafted."

"Oh~"

Halfway there, Ye Lin suddenly laughed and said, "In any case, taking the Rubik's Cube openly is much better than being a despicable thief, isn't it?"

"Ah."

"And thank you so much," Chimera said, bowing in gratitude.

She could certainly tell that Ye Lin had shown her favoritism that morning.

It can be said that Ye Lin was able to obtain the Rubik's Cube thanks to his help.

Ye Lin smiled, nodded, and said, "It's alright."

…………

As Ye Lin said, the House of Clockwork did not make things too difficult for the Chimera, and the terms they listed were not excessive.

Yes, it's probably true. Chimera must join the Clockwork House; that's the first point.

At the same time, Chimera needs to learn to reach the level of a true scholar.

Then, the Clockwork House allows the Chimera to carry the Rubik's Cube, but when they have experiments that require the Rubik's Cube, the Chimera should provide the necessary assistance and cannot refuse.

Chimera's technology and unique achievements obtained through the Rubik's Cube are patented and shared by Clockwork House.

Chimera cannot be used to intentionally threaten the personal safety of others.

Because of the Rubik's Cube's ability to distort the mind, Chimera must return to the Misty Sky periodically for psychological examinations and treatment.

Chimera needs to learn the methods that Clockwork House currently possesses for controlling the deformed Rubik's Cube.

And some other odds and ends, which Chimera didn't look at at all; she was only staring at one sentence... "Chimera is permitted to carry the Transformer Cube."

"There are too many other words, you read them for me." Chimera handed the contract to Ye Lin.

"Do you think I'm your lawyer? Are you going to pay me?" Ye Lin said helplessly.

Finally, witnessed by Camerin, the guardian of the land, the Chimera and the Clockwork House signed a magical contract.

Then, since the inventors' conference was in progress, both parties agreed that the necessary learning of Chimera would be postponed until after the conference.

As for the Rubik's Cube, they didn't take it back either.

…………

"Yay! A Rubik's Cube, hehehe."

Chimera was overjoyed. She rubbed the Rubik's Cube against her cheeks, thighs, and chest, causing her large, full breasts to sway and slightly sink in. Then she kissed the Rubik's Cube hard.

I actually got it!

"It's like a dream, but it's not a dream. The Rubik's Cube is mine!" Chimera was practically ecstatic, running around and shouting excitedly.

"No one can stop me now. It's mine, all mine."

"The magic contract is a bit of a hassle."

Suddenly, a cold voice echoed in my mind:

"It's just a contract; with the Rubik's Cube's ability, it can be easily twisted."

"Who is it?" Chimera stopped, cautiously looking around as if afraid someone would steal it.

She used to hear other people's voices in her head, but if she listened carefully, she could tell that the voices came from herself; it was her own voice, another version of herself rambling on.

Now she can easily tell that the voice just now was definitely not hers.

Golden light emanated from the gaps in the Rubik's Cube, making it appear exceptionally sacred. It rotated and hovered in front of the Chimera.

"So it was you speaking? The Rubik's Cube actually has a soul."

Yanemer said calmly, "It's me. You can call me... Master."

When the contract was signed, Yanemer was quite dismissive. If Ye Lin hadn't been present and tacitly agreed, she wouldn't have been willing to place herself in someone else's contractual relationship.

"Could I be the legendary protagonist?!" Chimera gripped the Rubik's Cube, her eyes widening in surprise.

Qingyan's group of writers all write like this: the protagonist of the story will have a talking treasure of extraordinary origin.

She wasn't listening to anything about "master."
