Chapter 46 Equivalent Exchange
Atoris has been in a good mood recently, no, it should be quite good. Her sister can stand up and walk. Although her relationship with her mother is still very stiff, she no longer has the gaps of the past. When she meets her, she can greet each other. Every day like this is like living in heaven. What else can I expect?
Maybe staying at home for a few more days is the only request, but since she agreed to Master Merlin, she should keep her promise. Although she is reluctant to leave, she thinks it is very cost-effective to exchange her sister's health with a mere separation. At least in the past, even if she wanted to make such a deal, she would not be able to do so.
As long as Master Merlin cures Nanali's eyes in the future and helps the Knights of the Storm to win the first place in the Knight King's Athletics, all wishes will be fulfilled and I will no longer have any regrets... This is what it should be, why do I still have a lot of reluctance in my heart? Sure enough, is a greedy creature?
Atoris suppressed the question in his heart and walked towards the backyard. He met Lilith on the way. The other party was the devil of Master Merlin. He also had a good relationship with Nanali. The two of them talked about everything, and even she was a little jealous. Sure enough, is this the so-called generation gap?
But I seem to be the same age as Nanali.
Atoris was about to say hello, but Lilith turned her head with a "humph", expressing her emotions like a child, childish, but without any concealment, making people very clear about the annoying emotions she was about to express.
"Have I done anything that made her hate?"
When he arrived in the backyard, Atoris couldn't figure out the reason, so he asked his sister.
Nanali burst into laughter. Although she seemed to be young last year and had never dated outsiders, her knowledge and ideas were very mature, and she could easily understand some things she didn't understand.
However, the tone was like persuading the younger generation, which was really dissatisfied - although she was actually the sister.
"Sister, what do you think of Master Merlin?"
She asked a question that seemed irrelevant, and Atoris thought about it carefully and replied: "A very wise man, very diligent and powerful. At his age, he should be the most outstanding genius and very skilled in dealing with things. I am not as good as him in many aspects."
Nanali smiled unsolvedly and said, "Sister, this is not what I want to ask... In other words, what has Master Merlin done since he arrived at our house?"
Atoris thought seriously: "Help Nanali you recover."
"What else?"
"Promise to help fight the Knight King's Athletics."
"What else?"
"And... is it gone? Recently, he has often gone to the Azeroth Library to learn magic, but this is a private matter and has nothing to do with us."
Nanali smiled bitterly, "When my sister recovered from her health in the hospital bed, he helped the Knights of the Storm to repel the powerful enemies because they were here to ask you for help. Also, I heard from my mother that on the day I was taking the treatment, Master Merlin had a conversation with her in person. The topic of the conversation was about you, sister. He scolded her hard... I think this is why the relationship between mother and sister can become harmonious now."
Atoris grew up in surprise: "But he didn't say anything about this?"
"Can you think it's not done without saying it? Sister, you don't care much about Master Meilin, and you even take it for granted to accept his help, but you never thought that everything he did, even if it was separated separately, would be a great kindness, but sister thinks that his efforts are worthy."
"I don't have this idea..."
"My mother and I are more grateful to Master Merlin than my sister, but who did Master Merlin do all this for?" Nanali interrupted. "It is not difficult to understand Lilith's anger. It is precisely because it is a child that we can feel the inner thoughts of others the most. I don't know what the relationship between my sister and Master Merlin is, and I am not qualified to intervene and point fingers. But one thing is certain, this is definitely not the reason why my sister has to accept the kindness of others with peace of mind."
Atoris was stunned, standing there, unable to speak, and then he was in a state of mind. At some point, he left the backyard and went to the guest room with his heart full of thoughts.
It was almost late at night, and Tangning's room was brightly lit. Atoris knew that the other party had been running to the Azeroth Academy Library these days, and he had to finish his night and continue his studies until very late. This hard work that was far beyond ordinary people also made her feel very admirable. She felt that Master Merlin's achievements were not achieved in vain, but apart from that, she didn't think much about it.
Originally, I wanted to go ahead, but through the crack of the door, seeing the situation in the room, Atoris gave up this plan, turned to push open the hidden door and entered the room gently.
In the room, Lilis curled up like a shrimp, and her already petite body now became like a puppy, and she lay on the bed and slept on her side.
Tang Ning was lying on the table, and a slight breathing sound came. With his vigilance, he shouldn't have been so relaxed. It was normal to wake up vigilantly on the spot. I think it was because of the hard work over the past few days that made him exhausted.
After all, he is just a human, not an iron man, nor a perpetual motion machine.
The desk was filled with a lot of waste paper and filled with incomprehensible terms. Atoris slowly approached. Within his eyes, he found that the name of the book had nothing to do with magic. It was all about some medically related books. The drafts laid on the desktop also drew a structure diagram of the personal eye and densely packed notes.
Atoris suddenly felt a little confused. She remembered Nanali's words. It was definitely not in line with the spirit of chivalry, but why did she never notice it?
——No need to thank you, this is just a fair deal. I will let your life continue, and you will serve me with the next life, which is in line with the principle of equivalent exchange.
——I don’t ask you to be loyal, I just remind you that every time you have the idea of rebellion, think about the price of the contract.
——I said that what I need is a servant who cuts off the past, so I will help you fulfill all your unfulfilled wishes, and what you need to give is enough loyalty. This is equivalent exchange, and you don’t have to feel guilty.
Those stiff and indifferent words make all efforts insignificant, because it is an equivalent exchange.
Is this really an equivalent exchange?
——Who did Master Meilin do all this for?
Nanali's inquiry echoed in her ears. Atoris suddenly felt at a loss and her heart beat out very special. She took a deep breath, suppressed her inexplicable emotions, and fled the room in a panic.
She left a little loudly. Tang Ning was awakened by the noise, raised her head with tired sleepy eyes, and her consciousness was a little blurred.
Masaka giggled and said, "Oh, my dear partner, congratulations, your stock price has hit the daily limit! If you sell now, you will have the opportunity to get one girl. If you work harder and trigger the key plot, you can directly enter the h scene to recycle cg, hahaha."
“Hmm?”
