Contract and the Demon King

If everything is doomed and everything is inevitable, then what is the point of human efforts?Whenever he thinks about this question, he will fall into confusion.

Unlike other clansmen, his hair color is not silver, but black.Black hair and black eyes, in the eyes of other tribesmen, this may be a sign of ominous.Without the protection of the patriarch, perhaps he would not have survived at all.

However, even though he was regarded as an ominous heretic by the tribe, he still made friends like this.Even for a guy like him, there are still people who are willing to make friends. Whenever he thinks of this, he can't help but feel a little emotional.

That's right, there are no chances in this world, there are only inevitability, including the tragedy that happened later, in fact, it may have been doomed as early as the moment he bonded with them.

Perhaps, this is fate...

"Moon, what are you doing?"

When he came back to his senses, a silver-haired boy with a leisurely expression appeared in his sight.Looking at his only friend, he couldn't help but sighed.

"Bai Lan, have you skipped class again? If you continue like this, you will drive your instructor crazy."

Unlike him, his best friend is outstanding even among his peers.The eyes above the inverted crown tattoo are as leisurely as usual, as if he is very relaxed no matter when and where.

"Cut, don't come here. Didn't you also run away? Speaking of which, what are you doing now?"

Bai Lan obviously didn't listen to his words, but looked at the things in front of his desk with interest.In fact, even he didn't understand how Bai Lan, who always had a laid-back look, became friends with him.

Black-haired and black-eyed ominous person, this is the name given to him by his peers. Although the adults did not say it in front of him, he knows what is revealed in the eyes of those adults.

Disgust, dislike, fear of the unknown.But for these, he didn't care, or he didn't feel anything at all.

"This? Here's something interesting I found by chance."

Returning his attention to the things in front of him, although he still had a calm expression, as if he didn't care about anything.However, Bai Lan rarely saw a hint of excitement on his friend's face.

"This... is a bit like a magic circle, but it seems a little strange."

Before his eyes was a stone and a white cloth with a strange magic circle drawn on it.It's just that no matter how you look at it, Bai Lan can't see what the magic circle is used for.

"This technology has not yet been named, but..."

Put the stone that was originally placed next to the strange magic circle, and put your hand on the position above the stone. The next moment, the strange magic circle began to emit black light.The original ordinary stone also began to produce changes beyond Bailan.

"This is amazing! What is this?"

"In this case, it can be said to be a material conversion technology."

That was the beginning of everything. Bai Lan didn't feel surprised by this brand-new technology developed by his friend, but showed a sincere excitement. Maybe it was because of this that he and him became friends.

Because, they are so similar, but completely different at the same time.

"No, it really is still impossible to grasp."

On a grassland, Bai Lan rarely showed a wry smile.It's just that he was a little puzzled by his friend's reaction.

"Why, it's obviously very simple."

Grabbing a handful of dirt from the side, the next moment, the originally soft dirt began to change, and finally turned into a delicate statuette.It was a smiling girl, with her long hair hanging behind her like this, and that smiling look seemed to have encountered something joyful.

"So, how on earth did you do it? It is very difficult to refine such a delicate thing even through forming an array. And you don't need to refine an array, but directly Got it out."

Seeing her friend's natural expression, Bai Lan sighed helplessly.But after noticing the appearance of that exquisite statuette, the original expression of helplessness disappeared instantly, replaced by a smirk.

"Speaking of which, the prototype of this figurine should be Ariel, and it's so delicately made. Is that right? You're the guy who shot at your friend's sister."

"It's just a random choice. It just so happened that Ariel asked for a gift last time, so I made it up."

It's not a cover-up, nor is it arrogant, this is indeed what he really thinks.And Bai Lan, who had a smirk on her face, once again sighed helplessly after seeing his calm expression.

"Let me tell you, you probably didn't realize it. Although you didn't say it, Ariel has always liked you. Don't let her down."

"like?"

"Well, or love."

"Love? What's that?"

"Uh, hello..."

Not pretending to be natural, at that time he was genuinely asking questions.Because he didn't understand this feeling.

Disgust, hate, fear, like, love, although he knows what these feelings represent and what they mean.However, he never really felt it.

He doesn't understand what love is...

"Really, brother, Yue, are you two skipping class again?"

The girl with silver hair like Bai Lan said helplessly, in fact, all the clansmen are actually silver-haired, except for him...

"Uh, no, it was discovered."

Bai Lan said in a seeming panic, but his leisurely look made his words completely unconvincing.

"I have already learned all the knowledge taught by the instructor, so there is no need to go today."

He said it as a matter of course, but just looking at his face as a matter of course, Ariel, who is considered the most common sense among the three, couldn't help showing an expression of wanting to preach.

"However, even if you have already learned it, you can't just skip class like this."

"Why? Since you have already learned it, why do you need to repeat what you have already mastered?"

"That's right, that's why I followed Yue for very good reasons."

Bai Lan, who was standing aside, immediately echoed, looking at the two geniuses in front of her, even she couldn't find a reason to refute it.

"Well, I've escaped anyway. Don't worry about things that have passed. Speaking of which, why don't the three of us go to that grassland to play together?"

"Really, brother is like this again."

As a result, that day, Bai Lan found an excuse and took the opportunity to leave, leaving him and Ariel alone under a big tree in the grassland.It's just that he didn't understand the good intentions of his friend at all.

He doesn't understand what love is, does he love Ariel?Still hate her?Or is there no feeling at all?As the three get along, although he still doesn't understand what love is, there is one thing he can be sure of.

He doesn't hate her.

"Yue, this is..."

Looking at the scene in front of her, even Bai Lan couldn't calm down, and Ariel who was standing beside her was even more surprised and speechless.

"Well, they wanted to attack me, so I killed them all."

Wiping the blood on his face, he said as a matter of course.He couldn't even understand why his best friend and Ariel were so surprised.They wanted to kill him, so he killed them.It's just such a simple and clear thing.

"Speaking of which, I understood something just now."

Putting his hands on the ground, the next moment, more than a dozen spears suddenly shot up from the ground, piercing several corpses lying on the ground.

"It turns out that depending on the method and purpose of use, even the same power can have different effects."

"There is actually no distinction between good and evil in power itself. The real key lies in using yourself."

In that sea of ​​blood, he just calmly talked about his feelings.That was the first time he killed someone, but at that time he didn't have any feelings of guilt because of the murder.

Although he can be said to be a genius with extremely high qualifications in other aspects, but only in terms of emotions, he cannot understand them well.Even he himself didn't know how much impact what happened at that time had on his friends.It's just that even if he knew, maybe he wouldn't care.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the final tragedy happened...

"Is that so? However, this is also inevitable."

Seeing the tragedy he had personally caused before him, he still had a calm face as usual, but Bai Lan, who was standing beside him, had already collapsed on the ground.

"Equivalent exchange, if you want to get something, you have to pay something. However, since this is the price, then the way to get her back is really that?"

It's like doing a little thing.There was no fear or tension on his face, and he was still as calm as usual, as if he didn't care about anything.

Such an expansion is also inevitable.Just like the conclusion drawn a long time ago.The result can be said to be a collection of many factors. In other words, as long as the necessary factors are obtained, the result can be deduced, and as long as the result is obtained, all the factors can be deduced in reverse.

When the right factors are gathered together, there will be no unexpected results, and the result itself is a certain arrangement and combination of many factors.No more, no less, no chance, only necessity.In other words, everything in this world is just a collection of all factors.

Therefore, his decision is also inevitable, and it is just one of the factors in this world...
