I have eight feet to fall in love with you

Clarence followed Alex into the palace.

The resplendent and resplendent palace has an air of extravagance. On both sides of the palace, there are strong guards dressed in silver armor and fully armed to protect the king's safety at all times.

King Luther, who was on the throne, couldn't sit still when he saw Clarence behind Alis, and said, "Aris, this octopus mermaid has become your slave?"

Alishi's eyes flickered slightly, looking at King Luther and the two courtiers standing behind him.

One was his elder brother, Prince Reid, who was raising his chin proudly. Alishi knew in no time that this was his elder brother's tip-off.

The other was Old Brown in a white robe, and Aristotle's heart sank.With this respected old magician around, the octopus dare not act rashly.

The only trouble was, he and Philip got too close.

Clarence also saw the old magician behind the king, and was a little wary. How come a bright bishop who restrained him came by such a coincidence.

He was puzzled, and subconsciously glanced at Alex beside him out of the corner of his eye.

Alishi bowed his head obediently, respectfully and politely, he couldn't see the slightest clue, but he knew that there was a cunning heart hidden under this well-behaved appearance of this young man.Maybe this white-bearded old man was called by Alex.

Alexis respectfully saluted the king and said truthfully, "Yes uncle, Philip and I signed a master-servant agreement after the banquet last night, and Mr. Brown can testify for us."

Old Brown on the side stroked his beard and nodded, giving an affirmative answer to King Luthor's questioning gaze.

Alex took a step forward, suddenly knelt down on one knee, and sincerely admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry uncle, I'm sorry about the banquet. Philip didn't mean to make you embarrassed at the banquet, please don't punish him."

This sentence immediately woke up King Luther. Last night's banquet experience was really terrible. He was actually treated like a clown by this mermaid. All the nobles could see clearly!

King Luther's expression was twisted, he must teach this octopus a lesson!

Clarence didn't feel the fat king's anger, even if the other party glared at him angrily, he just looked back blankly.

Clarence and the king looked at each other for a few seconds, and the fat king's forehead was involuntarily covered with cold sweat. His arrogance gradually faded away, and his outrageous anger turned into a small flame.

King Luther wiped off the cold sweat with his sleeve, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably. He groaned for a long time, but he really didn't have the courage, so he could only avoid the oppressive sight of the octopus and turned to look at his nephew: "Aristotle , order this octopus mermaid to... kneel down and apologize to me!"

Alex blinked slowly, choosing to be wise and safe. He took a few steps back and turned to look at the octopus: "Philip, you did something wrong last night, please apologize to His Majesty the King."

Clarence looked at the young man, raised his tentacles, and said expressionlessly, "I don't have knees, how can I kneel?"

"Bold!" Prince Red yelled angrily on behalf of His Majesty the King. He had wanted to punish Aris and his octopus for a long time. Uncle! Guards, hold him down and kneel down!"

The guards got the order, drew out their long swords, and surrounded the octopus.A short soldier bravely rushed up, but was knocked unconscious by the thick tentacles in the next second, smashing out a spider web-like crack.

The guards were all stunned. The claws of the octopus were too frightening. The sharp long sword couldn't pierce the skin of the claws, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

Alexis took the opportunity to retreat, retreated to the king, and interceded for the octopus: "Uncle, I was not able to discipline him. Philip has been living in the sea and doesn't know the rules of the human world...Mr. Brown, please let them Stop it, I don't want to see anyone get hurt."

Old Brown glanced at him and lightly leaned on the crutch in his hand.

Clarence's eyebrows twitched, and he felt an invisible force restraining his body. All the tentacles were frozen in mid-air. He couldn't move at all, only his eyeballs could barely move.

Damn it!Clarence recalled the scene just now, and then he came back. He fixedly looked at Alex, who was kneeling at the king's feet, as if he was pleading for him.

The guards breathed a sigh of relief, tied up the octopus with strong ropes, and laid it down on the ground.They looked to King Luther, as if waiting for his order.

Alexis hurriedly said: "Uncle, please don't lock Philip up and don't hurt him, okay? If you want to punish, punish me! It's all my fault!"

His Majesty the King was having a headache about what to do with the octopus, when he suddenly heard a good suggestion, he immediately ordered: "Take this octopus down first and put it in prison."

Clarence: "..."

The octopus was carried away by eight guards and locked in a dark underground cell.

It was the first time in Clarence's life that he encountered such humiliation. That damned magic old man happened to be proficient in the light magic that could restrain him.

...If he had listened to Granny Haiwitch and learned magic well, such a bad thing would not have happened.

in the palace.

"Uncle, it's not Philip's fault. Blame me if you want."

Alexis was still blaming himself, pleading for the octopus: "I never thought that Philip would be able to break free from my control even after signing the master-servant contract. But he didn't do it on purpose. With me around, he would never hurt me. you."

King Luther looked at Alex, implying that the master-servant contract does not work.However, this master-servant contract was cast by Old Brown, so how could it not work.

His Majesty the King glanced at the thoughtful chief magician, and interrupted his nephew's words of shirking responsibility: "Aris, he is your slave. If you can't discipline him well, blame the master-servant contract?"

"There is indeed something wrong with the master-servant contract. The level of magic is too low." Old Brown interrupted suddenly.

Old Brown has always dared to admit his mistakes. Recalling the octopus, he murmured: "I was careless. This octopus has much stronger mental power than ordinary mermaids. It seems that it needs more work." A strong bondage."

Prince Red still remembered the revenge of being beaten by the octopus mermaid, and then fanned the flames: "This octopus mermaid is so hateful, if you can't even bind the master-servant contract, you might as well kill it."

"No." Alishi frowned and refused, probably because the octopus was not around, his words were a lot more presumptuous, "Philip is a rare octopus and cannot be killed, he can create more value for me. "

Prince Red said coldly: "He is your mermaid, of course you speak for him. But he offended the king, he should be killed!"

Alex retorted: "Although Philip has a bad temper, he has never done anything bad since he landed, so he can't be killed!"

"Kill!", "Don't kill!" The two princes quarreled over the disposal of the octopus and almost fought.

King Luther raised his forehead with a headache, fully considered the suggestions of the two nephews, and came to a comprehensive conclusion: "It's better to sell it, and the money from the sale will go to the treasury."

Alexis: "..."

Although King Luther was fat and timid, he was really good at making decisions. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea, and he said seriously: "Aris, I don't blame you for not finding the mermaid, but You can't keep this octopus, even the master-servant contract is invalid for him, you can't control him at all."

His Majesty the King actually has his own little thoughts.Although the octopus is ferocious, it has a very high force value, which is an excellent help for Alex.If his nephew has malicious intentions and orders the octopus to kill him, His Majesty the King, who is so fat in a ball, is really hard to guard against.

Alice didn't speak, but fell into deep thought.Of course he knew that he couldn't control the octopus, but selling Philip, this...

In order to urge Alexis to make a decision, King Luther made a little concession: "If you sell the mermaid, half of the money will go to you, and half of the money will go to the treasury."

Alexis thought for a long time in silence, and said vaguely: "Uncle, let me think about it again."

Old Brown is going to re-sign a more advanced master-servant contract for Alex and the Octopus Mermaid.

He carefully drew a magic circle with his crutches, and summoned a piece of yellowed kraft paper and a quill. They seemed to be living objects, chasing and fighting in mid-air, and finally stopped in front of Alexis. It seems to be waiting for the other party's dispatch.

Alexis looked at the old magician suspiciously: "Mr. Brown, this..."

"The magic contract is best written by the parties themselves. This is much more effective than a verbal contract full of loopholes. You can write all the requirements you want."

Old Brown explained: "The paladins and dragons all sign this kind of contract. The terms are free to formulate, and a time limit can be agreed upon. Within the time limit, both parties cannot violate the contract. Violators will be punished by the laws of the world."

Alishi seemed to understand. After thinking for a while, he picked up the quill pen, wrote a dozen simple items, held the contract, and solemnly thanked the chief magician.

With King Luther's permission, Alex followed the guards into the cell.

In the cell, Clarence was annoyed.

His body couldn't move again, the octopus hangs stiffly on the ground, and the thinking tentacles all returned to his head, chattering and chattering, Clarence's head is about to explode, it's really terrible.

There was a slight sound at the door, Clarence raised his head in response, and saw the young man pushing the door in, looking at him sadly: "Philip, I'm sorry..."

Clarence frowned subconsciously, not knowing what the other party meant, but the magic on him had not been lifted, so he couldn't ask directly.

"I'm sorry." Alishi closed his eyes, took out a golden magic knife, and slowly approached the octopus, "I'm sorry Philip, but in order to save you, I need your blood."

Clarence: "..."

Hearing the call, Philip the Tentacle Claw, who had already signed the master-servant contract, broke free from the shackles of the static spell, stood upright unsteadily, slowly approached the knife in Aristotle's hand, and slashed upwards foolishly.

I don't know what material the knife was made of, but it actually cut Philip's skin, and a drop of blue blood slowly dripped down.

Seeing this, Alex took out a piece of old brown paper, grabbed Philip and pressed it on the brown paper. The blood wet the paper, and the golden light appeared on the paper. into the body of the octopus.

Clarence's shoulders loosened, the magic bondage broke, and he could move again, but he was not very happy. The first reaction of the tentacles wrapped around the young man's neck, and said, "What did you do to me?"
