The morning sun shines on the elves forests that are surrounded by trees, making the entire elves forest full of vitality and particularly warms the heart.

On a paved path with a stone road, Noah was holding Ester's hand and slowly walked towards the depths of the forest.

While holding Noah's hand, Ester walked slowly forward in line with Noah's footsteps, but his head kept tilting, staring at Noah, his big eyes full of mystery were full of doubts.

"Master, do you have something to say to me?"

For the whole day yesterday, Ester was resting because of Noah's request, and turned into a short sword-shaped elf magic outfit, and was carried by Noah.

So, Ester didn't know what happened yesterday.

However, just now, Noah suddenly awakened Ester and took Ester to the Elf Forest for a walk without saying a word.

Intuition told Ester that Noah seemed to have something important to tell him.

But after entering the Elf Forest, half an hour has passed.

And for the past half an hour, Noah hadn't talked to Ester, but just walked forward, making Ester's doubts become more and more intense.

Finally, Ester could only say this.

"Is it because I did something wrong, and the master intends to punish me in a very h way?"

Noah's indifferent expression was directly defeated by Ester's words, and her whole face collapsed.

"Why do you think this way?"

"Hasn't the master said it before?" Ester blinked.

"If you do something wrong, you will punish it in a very h way."

"That was used to scare Alice, I'm not really planning to do this." Noah had a bitter face.

"Ester, you shouldn't take it seriously?"

Upon hearing this, Ester cast an incredible look at Noah.

That way, it seems like I'm talking about it, isn't it?

"Okay..." Noah sighed.

"I don't plan to punish you in any very h-like way, nor is it because Ester did anything wrong, I just wanted to have a good chat with Ester."

Ester looked directly at Noah, and his eyes, full of mystery, began to flash slightly.

As Ester looked directly at him with such a look. Noah stopped walking forward, but stopped, let go of Ester's hand, and half-squatted in front of Ester. He kept parallel to Ester's gaze and met Ester's gaze.

It seemed that I could see something from Noah's dark and deep eyes, and the inexplicable spirit swaying in Ester's eyes became more and more shaken.

"Did you already know?"

Noah did not answer the first time, but stretched out her hand and touched Ester's head as before.

"You mean, do you have the nature of cursing the contractor?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Ester was silent.

"I saw it." Noah still stroked Ester's small head, his eyes never shifted away from Ester's gaze.

"The final outcome of your last contractor, Arecia, who is known as the Sacred Saint of the World, is the last one."

Ester's eyes were filled with uncontrollable waves.

However, the pair of glittering eyes, which had been shining in the past, suddenly lost a lot of glory.

"I only knew it at that time." Ester said expressionlessly.

"I have a curse of the devil sword that will eventually make my master die, not a holy sword at all."

With such a sentence, although Ester had no expression on his face, a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.

"I was killed by I. If I knew I was such an ominous sword, I would never have made a contract with anyone."

However, this small wish is not realistic at all.

Because Ester has a curse that will eventually cause his master to die. Apart from contracting with the elves and seeing it with his own eyes, there is no second way to know.

Unless Ester holds the idea of ​​not knowing that he has such a curse and never signs a contract with any elves from the beginning.

Otherwise, when Ester discovers his essence, it is the day when he witnesses his curse and destroys his master.

This incident is also ironic.

"As the highest level of elf demon suit, I can break any curse in this world, but I can't break my own curse." Ester looked straight at Noah as if he wasn't talking about his own affairs.

"If the Holy Sword that even the Demon King can kill, if its true body is a powerful force that must be exchanged for life, then it seems that it is not a strange thing to be able to annihilate the Demon King who inherits the power of the Dark Elf King."

Listening to Ester's self-deprecating words, Noah kept stroking Ester's head. His eyes looked at Ester with tolerance.

Now, Ester finally couldn't help but stagger Noah's gaze and spoke in a low voice.

"My existence is a sin in itself, Master, in fact, I am not qualified to be anyone's sword."

As this sentence fell, an indescribable heavy atmosphere spread around.

However, Noah smiled.

I smiled so hard that I dispelled the heavy atmosphere around me.

"Do you really think so?" Noah looked straight at Ester.

"If you really think so, why do you still have to sign a contract with me?"

"Because..." Ester's tone became a little emotional.

"Because the master has a curse that is immune to any curse, like me, or even higher resistance to spells than me?"

The legendary holy sword with the name of the Demon-Annihilation Sword (demn slayer) is indeed not qualified to sign a contract with any elf envoy.

However, that is in the event that it will eventually kill the owner.

If the elves themselves have the ability to avoid being affected by curses, what would it become?

At that time, Ester, who was planning to reject Noah's contract, couldn't help accepting Noah's contract when he learned that Noah had such a spell resistance.

Even in order to carve the elf seal on Noah's body, which even the elf contract could be invalidated, Ester almost exhausted the power to maintain his body.

What does this prove?

"Isn't it very lonely?" Noah said with some pity.

"These days when I was sealed in the sword..."

"Master..." Ester's eyes shook.

"It's just a lie if you don't want to sign a contract with anyone." Noah revealed the feelings in Ester's heart.

"Otherwise, after you know that I will not be affected by the curse, you will not be willing to exhaust your strength and make a elves seal on me and sign a contract."

"I know, you must be lonely." Noah smiled and touched Ester's head.

"But that's the end."

There is no more elves in this world who are more suitable for signing a contract with Ester than Noah.

Because Ester's curse could not affect Noah at all.

"You said before, I hope I won't die before you, right?"

At this moment, Noah's tone seemed unusually gentle.

"Listen, Ester, I will never die, so you must always be my sword and live happily, do you know?"

"Master..." Ester raised his eyes and stared at Noah, and a bright color appeared in the eyes of the pair again.

Immediately afterwards, Ester took a deep breath, and his voice rang out like never before.

"Then, please make a contract with me, and you will never die before me."

pledge.

It is a ritual used to make an agreement between the elves and the elves to take oaths.

The content of the oath is determined by the parties who intend to make the oath and is established under the witness of the ceremony.

Once the agreement is violated through the oath, the party that breaches the contract, whether it is an elf or an elf, will be subject to serious punishment.

For example, if there is an elf who violates the oath, the person will be unable to receive the blessings brought by the elf for a long time, and will be hated by other elves. If the circumstances are serious, they will even lose the power to call the contracted elf.

Because it is such an effective ritual, the content of the oath is even regarded as a step to establish a formal contract with the elves of high positions.

The content of the oath is to kiss each other after making an oath.

"I swear here that I will live forever as your sword."

Alice couldn't help but snuggle into Noah's arms, lifted her chin and looked at Noah.

"So, please make a pledge, and you will never die before me."

After saying that, Ester closed his eyes, just raised his chin and pointed at Noah.

When making a contract, although it must be done through the kissing step, there is no regulation on which specific part you must kiss.

Logically speaking, even if you kiss the back of your hand, it will make the vow true.

However, there are also unwritten regulations that when making an oath, the more important the position of the kiss, the stronger the effect of the oath will be.

Therefore, for the pure Ji Wuniao who must keep his body and mind, and the elves who only open their hearts to the pure and pure Ji Wuniao, kissing his lips is definitely the most important position.

It is conceivable how much Ester valued this vow.

Seeing the beautiful scene of the beautiful elf girl snuggling in her arms and asking for kisses to her, Noah had no evil thoughts in her heart, only endless pity and warmth.

"I swear here too, as long as Ester lives as my sword for one day, I will never die one step ahead of you."
