Chapter 937: Chapter 304: Sign! Sign Even If You Don’t Want To!

At this moment, elsewhere.

Aiwass sent Aleister an “OK” response.

Aleister replied with a “1”.

Looking at the mirror, Aleister cheerfully said, “Alright, everything here is arranged. Within an hour, a bishop-level priest will come here to personally conduct the funeral and lay his soul to rest. If you don’t want to be discovered as a sudden demon and be exorcised by the Archbishop Your Excellency at the cost of his life, it’s best to leave here ahead of time.”

“I’ve seen it, it’s Bishop Mia Mueller, right?”

The Mirror Demon responded, “I just saw her suddenly get up and turn on the light in the room.”

...

His deep voice was full of admiration, “You are so great, beyond my expectations. To actually be able to command a bishop… These Contributors are tough nuts to crack, even the former masters, including Count Leipzig, found it difficult to bribe them.”

“Is that so?”

Aleister chuckled lightly, “I don’t think so.”

Contrary to the Mirror Demon—Aleister believed that the Contributors are the easiest to bribe. Since the Contributors have a strong sense of selflessness, their vigilance tends to be weaker. Many Contributors or ordinary people with an adaptability to the Path of Devotion are easily deceived because of this…

The difference is only that, an awakened Contributor… can definitely not be bribed with “wealth” and “fame.” Because money only benefits their own selves, and that is exactly what Contributors need to abandon.

“To bribe a Contributor, just offer them glory and honor,”

Aleister said, “Tell them that through their great deeds, you will sincerely contribute to goodness; assure them that all profits from this operation will be donated to a certain group, improving their lives to what extent; or you could prove to them that your direction is right, it’s just the path that is arduous… In this way, without needing you to do anything, the Contributors will voluntarily follow and sacrifice themselves.”

“Even such taboo knowledge you know! That is truly astonishing!”

The Mirror Demon flattered adeptly, “I can’t even fathom what heinous acts you must have committed to grasp human nature so masterfully!”

It seems that for his former master, “evil” was a compliment. Thus, the Mirror Demon unhesitatingly crowned Aleister with it.

On Aleister’s shoulder, the crow showed a human-like disgusted expression, frowning as it glared at the mirror.

As if considering from which angle to destroy it.

… Because that guy, is just that kind of person.

Aleister did not offer any defense; instead, he felt somewhat melancholic thinking this way.

She just realized that the cutting of the Hourglass seemed quite artistic.

The two of them were really split into a yin-yang shape—inwardly containing yin and yang. Even as a transcendent individual, she still retained the afterglow of the Path of Devotion in her heart; similarly, as a completely transcendent Aiwass, his heart also still held fragments of the Heart of Transcendence.

She glanced at the Mirror Demon and slowly opened her mouth, “You flatter me so much… What, my dear little mirror. Do you not want to return to the Dream Realm then?”

“Having more friends opens many paths, Your Excellency—My former master fed me very few souls, but he taught me quite a bit about how to be a person.”

The Mirror Demon replied adeptly, “I indeed wish to return to the Dream Realm to rest for a while, as these eighty years of incessant work have been too unbearable. But with your great talents and intense Heart of Transcendence, I think we may meet again in the Dream Realm one day. That day might not be too far, when you still remember me, and I still hold gratitude towards you.

“When that time comes, I can act as a host and show you around the beautiful landscapes of the Dream Realm. If you still hold nostalgia, I might even take you back to the Material Realm… This is a unique advantage of being a Mirror Demon. As Mirror Demons, even without relying on signing a contract with a Demon Scholar from the Material Realm, we can briefly enter the Material Realm. I am very familiar with the various terrains of Star Antimony; in this place, the envoys of the Hourglass absolutely cannot catch us.”

“Pfft…”

Aleister couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

She covered her mouth, her eyes curving into crescents, beautiful as the moon.

Aleister, of course, understood the Mirror Demon’s words—

Translated, it would be fairly easy to understand: “Sis, considering your great wickedness and recklessness, you must be close to death. With your strength, you’re likely to ascend directly to being some awesome Demon upon death, so I’m just getting familiar with you now—please don’t devour me then. If you reach full strength, I’ll even be your underling and we can smuggle back to the Material Realm together—you’re particularly skilled with doorway magic, being a big shot in Star Antimony territory, just please don’t devour me.”

Compared to the fear of being a Transcendent or even a Transcender, the Mirror Demon was clearly more afraid of Aleister’s post-mortem demeanor.

Just like that classic joke—What ghost should I fear? I am so full of resentments normally that if a ghost kills me, wouldn’t my resentments only increase? Then it would be debatable who would be more fearsome.

Pac-Man, how does it go, Pac-Man? Alive being chased by ghosts, dead they’ll be chased back.

“I think you’re right,” Aleister said leisurely, “you’re absolutely right—a friend in need is a friend indeed, isn’t it?

“I might descend to the Dream Realm soon. Maybe next month, or maybe next year. But anyhow… I feel our relationship needs closer maintenance.”

“…What do you mean?” the Mirror Demon asked cautiously.

Aleister’s shoulder crow sharpened its claws threateningly.

“Let’s sign a temporary contract.”

Aleister finally revealed her purpose: “Nothing forceful, just a meaningless contract. The content of the contract will involve just knowing each other’s true names.

“That way, if I ever want to find you again, I could use a ritual to locate you… couldn’t I?”

“…I don’t think that’s really necessary, Your Excellency. I can tell you anything else you need—do you need to go to Alfonso von Pilotti’s residence? I can transport you directly there, saving you the trouble of walking!”

The Mirror Demon’s voice became even more sycophantic.

That originally robust and deep male voice now sounded almost like a eunuch.

“There’s no hurry.”

Aleister, however, calmed down even more.

She stared at the mirror, speaking methodically: “My suggestion is, it’s best to sign—it will serve as a testament to our friendship.

“It’s truly a blank contract, doubt it? Settle it yourself.”

The crow perked up immediately.

It stared intently at the mirror, its crimson gaze looking almost like an abyss—this seemed a good pretext, as long as the other party refused again, she could simply break that damned mirror.

—It’s just a Mirror Demon, don’t be too arrogant!

“…Alright, Your Excellency.”

The Mirror Demon hesitated for a while but then capitulated: “I’ll write it, let me write it…”

It was still worried that Aleister might play tricks within the contract.

Humans these days, every one of them is worse than a demon!
