"Sir Steve, perhaps we can talk."

Although wrapped in a white bathrobe, Serana had a decent and even solemn expression on her face.

She has completely come out of the panic just now. Now she is no longer Serana, but the Duchess of Rundle.

And she was using her dignified expression and pretty face to arouse Steve's desire to conquer.

However, like many female creatures who were interested in Steve, her plan did not work.

Look at her slender waist, which can be held in one hand. There is no soul at all.

Faced with the advice of Grand Duchess Rundell, Steve pondered for a moment, frowned and nodded, then he showed the momentum of a strong man and stated his problem in a somewhat arrogant manner.

"The Thieves Guild, the Adventurers Guild, and those nobles, why are they trying to find out about me?"

Hearing this, an imperceptible cunning look flashed in the eyes of the Grand Duchess, and she just tilted her head and looked at Steve's face.

“Now that we have reached a consensus, I can give you this question for free, powerful sword bearer.

From what I understand, the Thieves Guild is looking for something, and you are their suspected target.

The people from the Adventurer's Guild should have accepted the commission from the Harper's Union. I think you should know what the Harper's Union represents.

As for the nobles, I think those guys who maintain their belief in the good gods on the surface must have received hints from their masters behind the scenes."

Hearing this, Steve nodded silently with a twinkling look in his eyes.

“Well, I’m beginning to like you a little, Duchess Rundle.

If you could tell me the names of these nobles, I might like you more.”

"Really? Thank you~" The Grand Duchess covered her red lips with a faint smile, but there was no joy in her eyes.

"I think, in order to better help each other, we should sign a contract."

Hearing this, Steve controlled his brows and frowned instantly, and at the same time, the smile on his face faded, and he said slightly coldly:

"The devil's methods, Duchess of Rundle, do you really think I don't know that the real nobles are as proficient in contract knowledge as the devil?"

"Of course I wouldn't dare to play tricks in front of you." Serana said humbly.

Looking at Serana with a slightly drooping face, not knowing what evil ideas were in her mind, Steve smiled coldly in his heart.

Playing contract?

Huh~

I am not afraid of playing contract with anyone. Let alone you are a noble, even if you are a devil, you can't do anything to me.

As for the reason?

That's because Steve has two real names, and both of them have the power of one real name;

This he discovered by accident when he and Margaret signed the Styx Contract;

The power of his true name was originally a rather vague ability, representing the time he had spent, the past he had experienced, and his true identity...

This kind of vague power is beyond the comprehension of gods, and even the devils who are most proficient in "Contract Studies" cannot understand it;

This also means that even if Steve signs his real name [Steve No. 13], even if he violates the contract, this established contract will not have too serious an impact on him.

The power of the true name is dispersed between the two true names, so the constraints of the contract on him are naturally weakened.

After a long silence, Steve put away [Alex] with a serious face.

He could confirm that this woman had set her sights on him, and greed was a weapon sharper than a sword.

"How to sign?" a solemn voice sounded.

On the opposite side, Duchess of Rundle, who heard this, tried hard to suppress the ecstasy in her heart, and looked up at Steve calmly.

"You can sign it however you want."

After another long silence, Steve suppressed his impatience and imitated a strong man, a strong man with needs, and a hesitant strong man vividly.

I don't know how much time had passed, but just when the mist in the bathroom was about to dissipate and Duchess Rundle was shivering from the cold, Steve spoke.

"Please get dressed first and prepare the papyrus."

"Okay." The woman nodded calmly.

She is very confident in her knowledge of contracts and various intelligence, which is why she dares to play tricks on a legendary strong man.

However, greed will always blind a person's eyes at some unexpected moment.

Walking aside, carrying Steve on her back to change the wet towel on her body, the Grand Duchess put on the soft bathrobe that had been prepared long ago.

She pushed open the bathroom door slowly. In the mist that obscured her eyes, she said calmly to the person outside the bedroom door:

"Prepare the papyrus."

"Yes." A soft response came from outside the heavy door.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and the maid, who had received the consent, walked in carrying a stack of smooth papyrus that looked not cheap.

Placing the things on the large dressing table, the maid left.

The moment the door closed, Steve walked out of the bathroom with an expressionless face.

"Sir, please come in."

Taking out the feather pen from the black ink bottle, the Grand Duchess, who was wearing a bathrobe that was barely visible, politely handed the feather pen to Steve.

Seeing this, Steve moved quickly and snatched the quill.

In the eyes of the Grand Duchess, his behavior made him look like a complete layman.

In a contract, especially a contract agreed upon by both parties, it is not the one who writes first or writes more that has the upper hand.

Holding the quill, Steve looked at the light linen paper and was stunned.

After a long while, he handed the pen to the woman next to him and said sternly:

"You write it, and write it according to what I say."

Hearing this, the Grand Duchess nodded calmly, and sat in front of the dressing table in her revealing bathrobe, looking slanted and elegant.

Revealing her bottomless cleavage, she drew decorative patterns around the paper as if she was bored, while looking up at Steve with a smile on her face.

"Sir Sword Bearer, what kind of contract should we use?"

At the side, Steve did not answer her. Instead, he pointed at the paper with beautifully curved patterns drawn on it and laughed coldly.

"Don't play tricks, do you really think I don't know that these patterns have meanings?"

Hearing this, Serana sneered in her heart.

Wow~ I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable!

It is a common method used by the devil to decorate the contract with beautiful and complex patterns.

Because these patterns are not patterns at all, but words;

Many contracts are highly general, which means that a wide variety of texts are recognized by the contract;

The demons usually collect and learn all kinds of strange and bizarre characters. Once they learn a recognized character, they will destroy the civilization and prevent others from learning this character.

Sometimes, they even take the initiative to help uncivilized civilizations create writing;

Let’s take a simple example;

If the devil tells those uncivilized people that the word 'apple' refers to pears on a tree, then the same 'apple' will have two interpretations: 'apple' and 'pear'.

And one sentence has two completely different interpretations, you and the devil;

As for the simple language trick of "I'll give you a mountain of gold coins, but when you die your soul will belong to me", the devils stopped playing it thousands of years ago.

【Knowledge is power】, this sentence is the real truth!

To sign a contract with the devil, you'd better prepare a professional team of lawyers, a professional team of auditors and a professional team of Chinese teachers;

But even so, they can only guarantee that you won't lose your life.
