The Church was actually quite troubled by the situation in Loen City. After all, these puppets in indentured slavery did violate the Church's doctrine of interspecies integration. However, successive Dukes of Loen City had defined these slaves as "personal property," not lives. The doctrine also protected private property. This back-and-forth conflict left the Church feeling awkward. Fortunately, Loen City was not large, so they simply ignored it.
But now, this heartless old stubborn man suddenly has a change of heart?
Yudi didn't bother to talk too much with the Duke and simply clenched her fists until they cracked. "I advise you not to lie, or I will definitely punch you... Don't worry, this has nothing to do with my identity. It's entirely my personal behavior. After I beat you up, I will go back and take responsibility."
As he spoke, Youdi punched the wall next to him, and the wall immediately collapsed, leaving the Duke dumbfounded.
If this punch landed on me...
The Duke was really miserable, but he couldn't say it.
There was no way. Although Aesop threatened his little head, Youdi was obviously going for the big head. Losing the little head would be a little painful, but losing the big head would be real.
Therefore, the Duke could only honestly tell Youdi everything that had happened.
After hearing this, Youdi felt her temples throbbing...of course she was angry.
"Are you a fool?" Yudi said. "A life spell has you fooled?! Do you believe in ancient... ghosts and gods? Don't you know the common sense that there is only one deity in this world, the goddess?!"
"Well, he is indeed amazing," the Duke said awkwardly. "Besides, when I wanted you to help me before, you were unwilling to pay attention to me, weren't you?"
Youdi got even angrier: "You're blaming me for this?!"
As he said this, he wanted to go forward and give the pagan a couple of hard punches, but luckily Amat held him back in time.
If Youdi beat an innocent person to death, it would be a serious crime.
Yes, in terms of behavior, the Duke did not do anything wrong, even if he really believed in the dark god Gunara, but the church's doctrine did not prohibit the existence of pagans, even if they were cults.
After all, there are even real demons in this world, so what are cults?
But as the only orthodox religion, they still had to act according to the rules, so Amat asked the Duke in the most gentle tone possible to see the new contract he had signed with Aesop.
However, although Amaté spoke in a kind tone, he was still Fenrir through and through, and the mere act of speaking was intimidating enough.
Therefore, the Duke immediately and obediently signed the new contract between him and Aesop, which included the contract that "there will never be another slave contract for the puppets."
After taking the contract, Amat immediately felt something was wrong.
"This contract..." His brows furrowed tightly, "The magic power is a bit strange."
"What's so strange about it?" Yudi, who had calmed down a little, leaned over.
"There's no problem on the surface, but if you want to use magic to destroy it..."
Amat demonstrated it to Yudi, injecting magic power into the contract, and then immediately suffered a backlash, and her fingertips were stained red and black, as if stained with blood.
Yudi was very surprised and said, "This feeling is... a curse? But isn't the power of curse only possessed by dragons? Why does that guy have it?"
"No, the curse doesn't come from the dragons," said the more experienced Amat. "It actually comes from a mythical creature called the Phoenix, and the dragon curse basically comes from it. Now this curse feels to me like it originated from the original source, that is, the Phoenix."
Yudi was even more surprised. "Phoenix? I've heard of it, but isn't it hiding deep inside the volcano? Even the Dragon King can't reach it. How could that kid be involved with the Phoenix?"
"I don't know about that," Amat shook his head and said, "But this is indeed the power of the phoenix. They must have reached some kind of contract between them... But this is the first time I've seen a human being able to withstand the power of the phoenix's curse with their mortal body. How did they do it?"
Yudi also fell into deep thought.
However, she herself wasn't good at thinking, so after a moment's thought, she gave up. "Why bother? I have the goddess's protection, I'm not afraid of curses at all. Just let me find that random cultivator and give him a good beating, and that's it! And by the way, rescue the defiled angel!"
As he said that, Youdi was about to take his people away, but was stopped by Amat again.
"What's wrong again?!" Youdi was already very impatient.
Amat said, "Such a powerful human being cannot be without a background, and I have probably guessed who he is."
"What?" Yudi turned around and looked at Amat. "Who is it?"
"The genius who escaped from Deya Academy." Amat narrowed his eyes slightly. "Only he could have done these things."
“…Isn’t that just a little kid?”
"How could this be a child?" Amat pondered. "If it really is him, then this will be very difficult. His teacher is a true arcanist. I can't act rashly against him. It's best to let his teacher capture him himself."
"This...what should I do?" Youdi also felt a little embarrassed. She didn't take Aesop seriously, but the arcanist was different.
She is the strongest person who can walk freely, but she is not the strongest person. There are things in this world that she cannot do anything about.
Amat thought for a moment and said, "Deya Academy values reputation above all else. Let's spread the word. Let's say this guy doesn't act like a high-level magician at all. He's nothing more than... an old escort."
"Are you crazy?" Youdi's mouth twitched slightly. "How could a high-level human mage be an experienced escort? Who would believe it? I might as well say that I was a nightmare and escorted him."
Amat looked at Yuti and became thoughtful.
Just as the title says, it was already very late when I got home. I was so tired that I could hardly open my eyes. Now I’m going to sleep and will get up and write tomorrow morning.

133 Nice to meet you
When Amat and Yuti were discussing their plan against Aesop at the Duke's house, Aesop had already left Loen City and reunited with the two people who were waiting outside the city.
"It's done." Aesop made an OK gesture to the two of them, "You can go back now."
Kelimu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, brother Ye Lan...I have already told us the news of success."
Kelimu really didn't know how to address Ye Lan. Was he "young man" or "young lady"? Was he agender or bisexual? This was a serious question worth pondering.
But isn’t it a bit strange for a bisexual like me to think about this question... But Lim fell into a new round of contemplation.
However, Aesop didn't care about Kelim's strange imagination. Instead, he looked at Ye Lan and asked, "Is your contract in there too?"
Ye Lan nodded, biting her lower lip as she spoke, "I'm not a puppet of the Duke's family. My former master passed away, and then the Duke's servant took my contract. But... maybe they forgot about it, or maybe they already had enough puppets and didn't need me anymore, so they never looked for me."
Over the years, Ye Lan had lived in constant fear, fearing the Duke's family would remember her as a puppet. She wanted to flee, but the contract bound her from leaving Loen. So, for years, she had to carefully hide in the most inconspicuous places, watching over the most inconspicuous sex toy shops, just to avoid being discovered by the Duke's family.
That's why he was full of respect and admiration for Noren at that time, because Noren had the potential to end his life filled with fear, which was like a ray of light shining into his dark life.
And now, the light did shine in, but it was not from the imagined Noren, but from Aesop, the creator of Noren.
This made Ye Lan feel a little strange, but he had to lower his head and say "thank you" solemnly to Aesop.
Aesop knew that when the magic contract was destroyed, the person bound by the contract would feel it, but he didn't know how the specific feeling would be, so he asked.
Noren replied: "Yes, you can see some images."
"Can you see my face?"
Norn hummed, "Although the image is a little blurry, I can still see it. However, compared to the image, the perception of magic is clearer. I also recognized you through magic. After all, your image at that time..."
After hearing what Noren said, Aesop nodded in relief.
Before, I had a completely different image. It would have been troublesome if I was not recognized because of this. Fortunately, I have magic.
After all, doing good deeds without leaving a name is just for fun. If it really is impossible to leave a name, Aesop would not do such a thankless task.
Now that he has liberated these puppets, if the puppets open a store in the future, no matter what kind of store it is, he will at least charge half price for it. If it is free, that would be even better.
"Why are you all so relaxed?" At this time, Gan Qiu, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak, "We are wanted by the Vatican. We will be hunted by that woman to the ends of the earth. Now you have done something so violent..."
Gan Qiu felt a great headache.
How could this happen? He was originally just an innocent halfling, a naive thief, a kind-hearted plastic man, and a true man of three seconds. No matter where he was, he would be a good citizen. Now, he and Aesop were wanted by the church, and they were also being hunted by the most powerful woman. It was simply too much. Although he couldn't be sure whether Yuti and Amat would target him, after all, there was a possibility that they would only go after Aesop.
But these kinds of probability questions involving life and death, even if the probability is very small, can still make people panic, okay? It's just like when someone says, "You have a 10% chance of dying, a 10% chance of being disabled, but there's still an 80% chance of being safe and sound." It's impossible for anyone to feel lucky or complacent about that 80% chance of being safe and sound.
"Don't worry." Aesop comforted Gan Qiu, "There's nothing to worry about."
Gan Qiu suddenly perked up and said with a beaming expression, "Oh? It seems you already have a plan?"
"No." Aesop shook his head and said, "I'm just used to it. After all, my teacher is definitely sending people all over the world to look for me. If he finds me, I'll be doomed. But I'm not worried at all."
"Is this like this?"
It was the first time that Gan Qiu heard Aesop talk about his master and school. He thought that Aesop must have been subjected to inhuman abuse in school, otherwise he would not have developed this personality. Then he thought that even so, Aesop still faced life well and never considered the worst case scenario. He couldn't help but admire him.
"If I'm caught, I'll be finished." Aesop thought about the personalities of his teachers and what they might do if he escaped. "If I'm caught, they will definitely lock me up and never let me leave the room again."
"Imprisoned?" Gan Qiu's compassion surged. "In a dungeon?"
"No, they're on the Star Tower." Aesop waved his hand and said sadly, "In order to prevent me from escaping, they will definitely send people to guard me day and night..."
"This is really excessive."
"Yes, but the guards might be replaced by young and pretty female students." Aesop said sadly, "They should still wear short skirts and black stockings... Well, if it's Teacher Kent, he will definitely do that. They will use magic to bind my body and use women to consume my will, just to tell me that what I can do outside, I can also do in the academy. Those women will feed me and treat me with meticulous care. At the same time, the academy has set up a new department called the Service Department. Anyone who can find ways to please me can get extra credits. In that way, countless female students will definitely flock to my Star Tower to serve me until I give up the idea of leaving and get promoted completely."
The more Gan Qiu listened, the more he felt something was wrong. What the hell was this imprisonment? He was almost staring at it!
"What the hell are you talking about, Aesop!" Gan Qiu said, "Is this kind of life also called imprisonment?!"
"Why not call it imprisonment if it restrains my actions and will?"
"If this is called imprisonment, then I'd rather be the one imprisoned, you bastard!" Gan Qiu pointed at Aesop and cursed, "If this kind of imprisonment really existed, would you still be willing to run away? Why would you run away?!"
Aesop thought carefully for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Indeed."
"See, I told you you were overthinking..."
"If that's the case, there's absolutely no need for me to be running around out there." Aesop turned and left. "Tell Jair and Stank for me that I'm back at the academy. It's nice to meet them. See you in fifty years."
Gan Qiu: “????”
One, three, four, what do you want!
Aesop did not return to the academy in the end.
First, Gan Qiu hugged his thighs tightly, shouting, "You bastard, you got into trouble and want to run away, leaving me alone to be wanted, right?! I absolutely will not allow it, unless you take me to your academy and let me go to jail with you."
Secondly, Aesop also thought that even if life back at the academy was really as he imagined, it would not be as good as it is now.
The various types of school girls are indeed very tempting, but just having all kinds of school girls is not very tempting.
The world was so vast, with so many races, that if he only interacted with humans, something would still be missing. Although, if Aesop had asked, his teachers would probably allow people of the opposite sex to enter the academy, and even succubus wouldn't be out of the question, how special could a succubus be if it were recruited?
Just think about Miss Huang and you will understand. How could a nightmare demon of this level be summoned and dismissed at will?
When Aesop thought of this, he felt that he should not be blinded by those petty profits. People who chase the stars should never stop moving forward for that little glimmer of light.
In that case, can you still be considered an adventurer?
So, Aesop decided not to leave.
The world is big and he wants to see more.
Gan Qiu was surprised that Aesop changed his mind so quickly: "You're not going back?"
"Well, I don't plan to go back."
"But you just said..."
Aesop pressed Ganqiu's shoulder and said, "I was just kidding, brother."
Gan Qiu: “…”
For some reason, Gan Qiu wanted to beat Aesop.
But then again, if he couldn't beat him, he would have taken action long ago.
So let's hurry back to town and make sure to bring Stank and Jer along. I can't be the only one to be pissed off by this bastard.
However, there is still one problem that needs to be solved in advance before going back.
So what should Ye Lan do?
Facing the gazes of several people, Ye Lan subconsciously took a step back: "Why are you looking at me?"
"Uh, that Ye Lan brother... sister." Kelimu said, "We have decided to go back. Do you still want to follow us?"
Why am I following you? I'm obviously following Miss Nolen.
Ye Lan subconsciously wanted to say what was in his mind, but looking at Noren standing next to Aesop, the words were stuck in his throat for a long time and he couldn't say them.
In the end, it could only turn into: "Where are you from? Can you tell me? If there is a chance, I can come and find you."
"Dream Town."
Ye Lan's eyes widened, and he subconsciously took two steps back: "Dream Demon Town?! Are you from Dream Demon Town?!"
"Yeah." Aesop nodded. "Why do you react like this?"
Why am I reacting like this?!
