Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

This is a good result. At least for the time being, it prevents the strength of the miracle array from being further reduced.

However, Chu Yan has not yet received adequate protection.

"Your proposal is very reasonable. It seems that we have the same attitude towards our companions. But what if the church retaliates against the Dead Sea border after returning?"

"You still want the church to be your bodyguard and protect you?!"

Josephine asked back unhappily.

Yan had no idea what was going on, but he was afraid that the other party would be too greedy and make unreasonable demands without knowing the immensity of the world.

Josephine did not want to see the negotiations break down and fail to proceed.

Chu Yan shook his head and smiled:

"The church wants to protect me, but I'm not happy about it! They say they want to protect me, but in reality they are interfering in other people's territories. Who knows if the church has such intentions?

I won't keep you in suspense. I need to take your companion as a hostage and brand him with a contract. This is the only guarantee I can accept. Isn't it too much?"

“Not too much?”

Josephine's eyes widened as she looked at him in disbelief, her expression full of questioning.

By having a woman who is expected to become a pillar of the church in the future be branded with a contract and bound by it, doesn't that mean that Therese has become his personal bodyguard?

"Do you think it's too much to ask a sister of war in the church to be your bodyguard for life?"

"Who said it takes a lifetime? Can't contract magic be set with a time limit? One or two years is enough. Otherwise, how can you expect me to believe that the church will not retaliate?

Don't say it's just empty words, even if you write down the evidence, I won't believe it!"

Chu Yan's firm attitude made Josephine feel difficult. She gritted her teeth secretly and stared at him with narrowed eyes.

"Are there any other conditions besides this?" she confirmed.

If the lion's mouth is too big, the dispute can only be resolved through conflict and competition.

"That's it. We need to ensure that the strength of the miracle formation does not continue to weaken and that the Dead Sea border is not retaliated against. These are the two bottom lines. Neither of them can be missing."

"...I accept!"

Josephine hadn't finished her words yet, Chu Yan noticed this and waited patiently for her to finish.

"If you want to brand my companion with a contract, the term can only be half a year. I am worried that the Dragonborn will tamper with the contract. But at the same time, the one or two year contract you mentioned can be branded on me. I will serve as a hostage."

This result surprised Chu Yan, but it was acceptable.

Negotiation is not about seeking benefits, but about reaching a balance between the two sides on the bottom line. It is enough to satisfy one's own goals.

Josephine was wary of Chu Yan, and Chu Yan also did not trust the church. If they did not accept it, it seemed that the talks would break down.

“No problem, negotiation concluded!

You can first send your companions to the castle and settle them down, and then we will proceed with the contract matters. I hope Ms. Josephine will not cause any unnecessary trouble."

The nun stood up silently, ignoring the anger in her heart, and quickly returned to her team, calling on a few people to escort the holy coffin into the city.

Janet, who was watching from the side, wondered, "It's already in the coffin, can it still be saved?"

These words drew the cold eyes of the clergy, and Chu Yan was worried about her again.

Apart from that one time, Evelyn watched coldly from the sidelines almost the entire time. She didn't care about the outcome of the negotiations. This was a big trouble that Chu Yan needed to deal with on his own.

But when she saw Josephine escorting her companions to an empty room in the castle, Evelyn was sure that Chu Yan had survived the church session.

The dragon lady was filled with shock and amazement!

During these days, she had discovered that Chu Yan was conducting a family trial here and left two big bombs, one that killed Cornice and the other that killed the church.

As for the matter with Cornice, Evelyn didn't think that Chu Yan could solve it on his own. Without Losta, Chu Yan could be easily controlled by her.

But the church accomplished this with his own strength! If any young man with aristocratic family background came, the elders in the family would have to come forward to negotiate with the church.

But Chu Yan turned the Dead Sea border into his own power in a short period of time, and now he can negotiate face to face with the senior nuns in the church without being at a disadvantage.

She looks like a pretty young girl, but her courage and generosity far exceed those of her peers.

This little guy Chu Yan was an unknown and last-place person in the entire dragon clan group in the past. Have you ever heard that he has such ability?

They are both new generation dragons, so why are the flesh and blood of that woman Weilin so capable?

And his son, Konitz, not only fell to the point of relying on women to deceive himself, but also ruined his own life...

Author's Note: The chapter where Afarin consolidates the seal of the contract was blocked.

Chapter 56 This Child is Too Capable

It is not difficult to conclude a contract with the two hostages of the church.

Chu Yan directly contacted the secretary named Eve, claiming that the contract on Evelyn had loosened and that she could suffocate him by breastfeeding.

This frightened Eve, so she took a few high-level contract scrolls and rushed to the border of the Dead Sea.

What Evelyn lacks now from the S-level is indeed a bit of luck and inspiration, but this kind of luck is often there from the beginning, just like Losta caught that threshold quite easily, but Evelyn got stuck in the bottleneck early, which means that under normal circumstances, she can only grind with time.

But Eve was afraid that something special might happen, and Eve would break through ahead of time. As a result, when they arrived at the border of the Dead Sea, Eve was dumbfounded.

Chu Yan played the role of the child in "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". There was no problem with Evelyn at all. The contract seal was solid and it looked like the magic power had been reinforced just a few days ago.

The real purpose of this little lord deceiving her was to get her to

94

All the nuns were given contracts.

And these two nuns are not ordinary clergymen.

Theresa and Josephine are both high-level fighters in the church system!

"Josephine's contract is limited to two years, Therese's contract is limited to six months. By the way, please help me change it to a contract that does not require regular maintenance."

Chu Yan said with a serious face that he was worried that the Black Ice Dragonborn would mistakenly think that he was capturing slaves.

Eve hesitated to speak, obviously wanting to ask what happened here, but out of professionalism, she did not ask, but just reminded seriously:

"Lord Chu Yan, the space crack I set up here can only be used a limited number of times. If you call me here for some strange reason next time, the future may really turn into a 'wolf cry' ending."

In that fairy tale, the free-range children lost trust, and in the end no one believed that the wolf was really coming.

What Eve meant was that if the space rift was used up, and Eve really broke the seal in the future, Eve would not be able to rescue her in time.

Chu Yan heard more from these words!

Even though Eve said at the beginning that she would not care about him and Evelyn stayed to urge him to work hard, the Black Ice Dragonborn actually did not want anything to happen to him.

This space crack was specially left to deal with emergencies that may occur at the border of the Dead Sea.

Chu Yan apologized honestly:

"I'm sorry, I did lie this time because I was afraid that if you didn't come, my contract method would not be enough to restrain such a powerful person."

Seeing how sincere he was, Eve didn't know what to say and started to deal with the contract.

"I can't believe that two groups of dragon descendants who are so incompatible with each other can actually be so close to each other in private. What is the relationship between this young lord and you? Is he a bastard?"

The elder nun with purple eyes looked at Eve who was walking towards her and snorted teasingly.

She recognized that Eve was Losta's confidant. When one reaches a certain level, the circle will become smaller and one will know everyone they need to know.

"If Sister Josephine is dissatisfied, you can question my master. I am only responsible for assisting you and did not force you to sign this short-term contract."

The secretary responded skillfully and coldly, without a single mistake. While speaking, she swiftly took out the contract scroll.

Because of Chu Yan's special request and not wanting to consolidate the contract regularly, he could only use other magic locks to maintain stability.

A lock that looked like a collar was worn around the necks of the two nuns. The contract scroll burned, and magic runes flew out in the flames and were imprinted on the lock.

The master-servant contract was established.

After completing the commission, Eve left through the space crack without saying a word.

Chu Yan still stayed in the room, looking at the nun that Josephine was guarding.

She was lying in the open holy coffin, her beautiful silver hair neatly tied up. She was in a half-asleep state, her eyes were half-open, and her red pupils could be vaguely seen.

Even when she was calm, one could smell the faint scent of mania and loss of control.

Apart from that, it was difficult to observe anything else about her because the nuns wrapped her in a blanket, hiding her figure underneath, as if to prevent her from catching a cold.

Chu Yan didn't look at her for too long because of the unfriendly gaze from the elder sister. She stood in front of Therese as if protecting her daughter.

"I just took a look out of curiosity. Please give me your guidance in the future. I will provide meals in the lord's castle."

Chu Yan left the room first and exited the second floor with his companions.

Xia Nuoya was still a little worried and asked, "Is this the end of the matter?"

Janet has a strong prejudice against the church. She joked:

"Not necessarily. Even though we chased away a group of thieves, those two nuns might be able to suck all the power of the miracle array in one breath like a hippopotamus. This would be like inviting a wolf into the house."

Chu Yan thought it was unlikely. Sister Zhan’s condition required her to “recuperate” here for a while.

To deplete the power of the miracle array would be like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, which is something Josephine herself doesn't want to see.

"Although Janet's later statement is debatable, her previous statement is correct. The matter is indeed not over."

"Are you afraid that those clergy teams that have left will go back and ask for reinforcements?" Xia Noya asked.

“That’s not the case. For now, the church won’t cause us any trouble. But the current peace is only temporary. The church doesn’t even understand why its own members are out of control. In the future, they will still come to claim the power of the miracle array.

Especially when Theresa is stable and no longer in urgent need of the magic circle, the church can't just watch its believers and clergy gradually lose control, right? "

When that time really comes, the church may really be robbed.

But right now there is really no good way to take care of such long-term things.

Just getting to this point safely is already very difficult. It is like walking on a tightrope. If you are not careful, you will strangle "Bin Zhou".

Chu Yan calculated the time in his mind, and for the next period of time, he would just be checking the calendar and waiting for Weilin to return.

Janet sighed, then thought of a question and asked the female knight suspiciously:

"Xianuoya, when you were outside the city gate, how could you use your power so easily? Aren't you afraid of losing control and getting hurt?"

"Uh......"

Xia Nuoya looked embarrassed and didn't know how to explain. She wanted to ask Chu Yan for help.

95

But he had already run away.

......

On the other side, Eve returned to Losta's underground magic workshop, where one end of the space rift was set.

She walked into Losta's office. The intellectual young dragon lady sitting on the chair put down what she was doing for the time being and waited for the secretary's report.

"Lord Losta, do you remember the guess the executioner mentioned last time? She vaguely felt that Chu Yan was hiding some secret. I know what that secret is."

"Oh? Is it related to your trip to the Dead Sea border just now?"

"Yes, Chu Yan kidnapped the nun. He had kept it a secret before, but recently this suppressed secret exploded, and he had a head-on conflict with Sister Josephine."

"Is it so serious? How far has it developed now?" The woman's face became serious.

"It's barely over now. Chu Yan tricked me into coming here and asked me to sign a short-term slave contract for Josephine and Theresa."

"...What? Eve, please report the information you know in full."

Losta was completely confused. How could this happen?

Seeing that Chu Yan was able to complete that difficult family trial, it was clear that he did have some skills, but I didn’t expect him to be so capable!

Hearing that the secret that Chu Yan was hiding was related to the church, Losta thought that he might be bullied by the church and be defeated by those powerful nuns. Unexpectedly, he directly made the nuns his slaves...
