Chapter 36 - 36 36 Signing the Contract

36: Chapter 36: Signing the Contract 36: Chapter 36: Signing the Contract “Why should I trust you?” Violet lifted her wrist, dropping the parchment scroll open, the side inscribed with notes now faced Villes.

If he could understand what was written on it, then he was certainly no human, but an outright demon.

Villes made it seem quite simple verbally, but in reality, no one could comprehend the content written on the scroll.

On this scroll resided not just black magic, but also numerous chaotic illustrations, each acting as an important work of art.

These illustrations were the terms Villes was referring to.

A decapitated man, hanging upside down on a cross, with a blazing fire in the sky, and a wheel used for execution drenched in blood.

The content, unknowingly written with either ink or some extremely vicious, corrupt substance, felt as though it revealed forbidden knowledge at a mere glance.

This was not the language of humans, nor of demons.

The energy it exuded, when combined with magic, formed an extremely vicious curse.

No human could understand what was recorded on it, yet they would grasp what those words meant.

It was a greeting from the demons, hunters greeting their prey.

Usually, the final outcome is far from something to celebrate.

Violet showed this to Villes, her words not so much of an interrogation, yet enough to flush Villes’ pale old face with an inexplicable blush.

He had forgotten, humans couldn’t understand the written language of the vampires!

The contents of the contract were presented in abstract illustrations filled with artistic flair.

At first glance, the scroll seemed smeared with haphazard and crude graffiti, but anyone who delved deeper could sense something was off.

Whether it was the positions of the people within the paintings or the rather unreasonable phenomena, the clouds flowing on the ground and the water drifting in the sky, it felt as though they held some mysterious symbolism.

“My apologies, I’m powerless to help.” Villes frowned, eventually sighing and saying.

Was he really supposed to teach Violet how to read and learn the language of the vampires, the Blood Clan?

That’s impossible.

The Blood Clan’s ancient language, Violet would never be able to learn it even if she devoted her entire life.

He also didn’t wish to inform Violet of the traps hidden in the vampire language, thus it would be a predicament.

Unable to provide an answer, he chose silence and Violet watched his expressions, sensing the unusual elements within.

Then, she nonchalantly signed her name onto the scroll using magic.

This caught Villes off guard.

Although he knew that, even if she couldn’t comprehend the content on the scroll, Violet would still sign the contract for Black Crow Castle.

However, he didn’t expect that Violet would be so sincere and decisive.

Having signed her name, Violet threw the scroll back to Villes.

The glow of the magic not fading at that moment.

Only when the light dissipating, left with the black mark of corrosion caused by magic, would Violet’s delicate handwriting and her name remain on it forever.

Violet St.

Roxbury.

It was a rare name, no, not rare, but seldom used.

Only beings that worship the Supreme Creator God would embed ‘St’ into their names.

Roxbury seemed a familiar term to Villes, he had a hunch that he has encountered or at least heard it somewhere before.

It was something that would never be forgotten, branded in his mind, seemed to have happened long ago and yet felt like it happened just yesterday.

He always vaguely recollected he has come across this term.

Such a situation was not common, especially for the Blood Clan, leading him to inadvertently sink into contemplation and recollect his thoughts.

Doing this made him realize that he had never seen it in any documents before, he had only heard it once.

But this was sufficient enough to recollect some disagreeable things.

Usually, when this term appeared, it was inevitably accompanied by scenes of gruesome killings.

Was it the killings and bloodshed that made him remember this term?

Villes fell into deep distress.

However, time wouldn’t wait for him to think, under Violet’s awaiting gaze, he didn’t have too long to ponder over it, so he could only drop the matter.

Afterwards, he carelessly signed his name onto the scroll and carefully stored it.

If he had had more time and was more attentive, he would’ve realized the true meaning behind the term.

What it represented was not merely scenes of bloodshed but the presence of a supreme invincible being.

The truth was, what Violet had written was her ‘real name’.

She used her divine status to protect herself in case the curse within the scroll was too powerful.

The reason why Villes couldn’t contemplate the term properly was due to him only hearing it once, when the name of the Supreme Creator who had destroyed demons was spread.

Violet being a divine being used her divine status to resist the onslaught of the demon’s curse would naturally use a name that every demon would fear just by a glance.

In doing so, no matter how cruel the covenant imposed on the constrainee was, they wouldn’t be able to fulfil it unless the creature who wrote the scroll was capable of defeating Violet’s divine status.

This was the real reason why Violet didn’t hesitate to sign her name.

At this very moment, the scroll was being slowly corroded by her name, a slow but irreversible process.

In the process, the black magic and malevolent texts on the scroll would get baptized, just like by holy light.

“Now that I’ve done my part, so next…” Violet trailed off, waiting for the other to carry on.

“Next, let’s go to Black Crow Castle to complete the rest of the affairs.” Villes added.

This contract was just a means of purchasing her, it doesn’t denote that the Black Crow Castle was automatically hers, hence he still had a lot to do next.

But at this moment, Violet folded her arms and wore a hesitant look on her face.

She wasn’t truly hesitant, she was just playing this card in front of Villes.

Seeing this, Villes asked in confusion, “Is there a problem?”
