Book 2: Chapter 11: I have a Perfect Plan (1)
âI said⦠letâs go together.â
As I said those words, I feel like the entire world began to move in slow motion.
Carol slowly stood up and her teary face slowly changing into a bright smile.
Then, as if the fast-forward button had been pressed, Carolâs small body suddenly slammed into my body like a silly but cute husky.
âUwaaaaaan, I knew Lilith was the best. I knew Lilith was just a soft heart with a sharp tongue, she would never give up on me.â
âDonât⦠donât come over⦠so dirty, when was the last time you took a shower, huh? What are you doing? Get your dirty hands off me!â
âUwa⦠haha, itâs not like youâll lose anything with me touching you.â
âWoah! Where are you touching, hey, not there ⦠not.â
âAre you sensitive here too, Lilith?â
âHurry up and get off me.â I pushed away the over-enthusiastic Carol who keeps trying to take advantage of me in perverted ways, âIf you keep doing this, Iâm gonna leave.â
âUwaa⦠donât be such a spoilsport.â
âOkay. First, letâs talk about your plan.â
When I mentioned Carolâs plan, she haughtily raised her nose to the sky like a five-year-old child who just got a little red flower in kindergarten.
âThis is an absolutely well-thought-out plan that I have made after exhausting my countless brain cells for three days. The success rate of this is a perfect 100%.â
âWow ⦠wow ⦠applause ⦠clap clap clap.â I answered expressionlessly.
âHmmm, now perk your ears up and listen carefully.â Carol made a circle in place, then pointed to the sky with the other hand on her hip, âFirst step: we need to obtain reliable and concrete internal information, such as the number of strong enemies, location of the guards, and the terrain of the auction house, as well as find out the number of slaves and learn where they are detained.â
Sounds reasonable. Can the plan thought by Carol after spending three days be actually feasible?
âAnd the specifics of the plan?â I asked.
âThe auction house is heavily guarded and even guests who are participating in the auction cannot bring bodyguards or advanced scrolls. Therefore, sneaking in and attacking from the inside isnât feasible, so⦠this lady came up with this amazing method to get in. â
âSneaking in as a slave!â
ââ¦..Iâm just gonna go now.â
âUwaa⦠Lilith, why are you leaving?â Carol hugged my thigh very skillfully.
âThatâs nonsense!â I growled at Carol, âYour plan will only give them more slaves to sell at the auction.â
âWhat slave, I said Iâd be pretending, pretending.â
âOh sure, itâs a disguise when you first get in, but itâll be real by the time you get sold! Moreover, every slave is bound by a contract, what are you going to do about that?â
âDonât worry, Iâve done my research. There are two kinds of Slave Contracts, one of them is called a Blood Lease which is temporary and can be canceled. Normally, slaves that are put on the market in a hurry have this kind of contract.â
âAnd whatâs the other one?â
âThe other one isâ¦â Iâm not sure if it was my imagination or not, but Carolâs mood looked a bit low, âthe other is called a Spirit Contract. That kind of contract forms a direct connection between the slaveâs soul, the contracting tool and the contractor and so this kind of contract is permanent and canât be undone once the contract is set into place. And if either the contracting tool or the contractor dies, then so will the slave.â
Carol⦠she seems to be very knowledgeable about this type of slave contract.
âHow can you be sure they wonât force you into that kind of contract instead of the Blood Lease?â
âDonât worry, forming a Spirit Contract is an incredibly long and tedious procedure, so generally only slaves who are born in-house will have that kind of contract.â
âReally?â
âOf course itâs true, do you not trust this ladyâs word?â I gave her a slightly skeptical look which caused Carol to sulk a little.
âMhm.â I nodded my head, âvery untrustworthy.â
âWaaa, Lilith you are too much!â
â⦠how do you pretend to be a slave?â
âThatâs very easy, recently the number of auctions held in auction house has been rising. To provide for enough appetizers to entice the crowd for the main events, the auction house has been sending people to kidnap female commoners in the dead of night.â
âAs long as I pretend to be a commoner, then with my perfect figure and beautiful face, I will be kidnapped within half an hour.â Carol raised her head proudly.
Is that something to be proud of, you idiot?!
âOkay, okay â¦â I interrupted Carol, who was pretending to be seductive. âLetâs say you do get in, how do you plan to get out?â
âIsnât it obviousâ¦â Carol stared at me brightly, âyou just have to buy me.â
ââ¦â¦â¦â1
silva: we might have expected too much from Carol?
