In response to Juliet's question, Otto simply explained.
"I know a sorceress who can create contracts with powerful binding force."
We can specify this in the contract.
You must not continue your mischief in the cemetery, nor harm any innocent people.
At the same time, you must provide the intelligence and wealth you just mentioned.
As for me, I will help you find Romeo and kill him to the best of my ability.
Of course, if this matter is beyond my control, or if I discover that Romeo is dead, then this contract will automatically become invalid.
Otto waved the order form in his hand and continued.
"My request was simply to resolve the anomalies in the cemetery; I didn't say I had to purify you."
"As long as you stop causing trouble, the client shouldn't interfere anymore."
Having learned from Micah for so long, the first thing Otto understood was that as an adventurer, one needs to be flexible in thinking.
We cannot always solve problems using conventional methods.
Sometimes, changing your approach can lead to better results.
Juliet was taken aback when she heard Otto's suggestion.
Then, she suddenly laughed.
This time, her laughter was no longer harsh, but carried a hint of appreciation.
"Young man, you're better suited to be a merchant than an adventurer."
Seeing that she seemed to be spared from leaving the mortal world, Juliet immediately agreed.
"Okay, I promise you."
I am willing to sign this contract with you.
Otto breathed a sigh of relief.
He hadn't expected Juliet to agree so readily.
It seems that her determination to take revenge is indeed very firm.
"That's good."
Otto said patiently.
"After I get back, I'll go find Una to make the contract."
Then I'll come find you again.
After saying that, he continued digging the tomb.
Juliet stood quietly to the side, watching him.
During the conversation, they talked about their mutual acquaintance Phyllis again.
Juliet was impressed by the vibrant, innocent girl.
"That little girl is really cheerful."
Juliet said.
"Every time I see her, I feel like all the gloom around me has been swept away."
She is like a little sun, warming the people around her.
It's such a pity that I'll never see her again.
Oh, right.
Juliet seemed to suddenly remember something and gave Otto some instructions.
"I still have a coat that Miss Phyllis ordered in my tailor shop."
It's a dark blue wool coat, and I've already finished making it.
When you go back, you can bring this to her for me.
Consider this a memento I left for her.
Juliet was meticulous; she had even found evidence for Otto.
This left Otto somewhat puzzled.
How could such a smart woman be so badly deceived by that Romeo Filippo?
As if she could read Otto's mind, Juliet shook her head helplessly.
"Sigh, a woman in the throes of love probably has her IQ drop to zero."
Looking back now, what he said was full of holes, yet I didn't doubt a single word of it.
Otto did not respond to Juliet's self-deprecating remarks.
He was simply digging the grave with all his might.
Soon, the entire tomb was completely excavated.
Inside lay a decaying corpse.
The corpse's face was smashed to pieces, making it impossible to recognize its features.
Her hands, feet, and limbs were tightly bound by black iron chains engraved with runes, and several iron nails secured her body to the coffin lid.
He looked incredibly miserable.
Without hesitation, Otto took out his iron sword and carefully removed the chains along with the nails that held them together.
The moment his hand touched the iron chain, the magic ape suddenly made a move.
The Magical Ape stated that this is a runic weapon.
[Analysis by the Magical Ape reveals that the runes inscribed on it are binding runes, specifically used to imprison living beings.]
Unfortunately, the Magic-Phantom Ape could only identify the general categories; it couldn't discern the specific meanings of the runes, demonstrating its limited knowledge of runes.
No wonder.
Otto himself had little knowledge of runes, and the Magic Ape, following him, naturally couldn't obtain much related information.
It seems I'll have to go back and ask Micah.
Dwarves are knowledgeable and should recognize these runes.
With that thought in mind, Otto put away the black iron chains.
After removing the chains, he tidied up Juliet's body and put it back in the coffin.
After doing all this, he began to fill the grave with soil.
"Thank you."
Juliet's voice echoed in Otto's mind, this time filled with genuine gratitude.
"It's been a long time since anyone has treated me like this."
Otto didn't say anything, he just silently filled the hole with soil.
The tomb was quickly filled in again.
He then straightened the tombstone and wiped away the dirt on it.
"So what are your plans next?"
Otto looked at Juliet.
At that moment, Juliet felt a lightness in her body, as if she had gained a certain degree of freedom.
After the chains were removed, most of the suppressive power on her body disappeared.
She felt a sense of relief.
Unfortunately, she found that she still couldn't seem to get too far away from the mausoleum.
"My power level is too low."
Juliet explained.
"I have also met some extraordinary people and learned some knowledge about ghosts."
Now, I am nothing more than the lowest-ranking ghost.
Gaining enough power to leave one's own corpse is a very difficult thing.
"At least some further training and tempering is needed here."
However, Juliet was not discouraged.
She said to Otto.
"It's okay."
I can wait for you here.
Come find me after you get the contract.
I will tell you how to write that letter so that you can gain the trust of my family.
I will also tell you where I hide my wealth.
There's plenty of time for a person to die.
After saying that, Juliet's figure gradually became transparent and then disappeared from Otto's sight.
She returned to her own corpse and began to gather power.
Otto didn't seem to care much.
Since we haven't received the contract yet, let's just write this down for now.
With that thought in mind, Otto left Juliet's tomb.
He found a relatively clean spot in another corner of the cemetery and sat down cross-legged.
Then, he took out a black earthenware jar from his pocket.
This is Otto's real purpose in coming to the Jackdaw Cemetery today.
He wants to help the black cat transform.
The black cat's transformation ritual is actually quite simple; all you need is this special ceramic jar and a cemetery as the ritual site.
But this was Otto's first time doing something like this, and he didn't know if he could succeed.
He couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
The black cat, on the other hand, seemed quite relaxed, as it was the master of the transformation ceremony.
It lay on the gray deer's large antlers, licked its paws, and gestured to Otto not to be nervous.
[Black Cat reminds you, don't be nervous. Even if you fail, you can try again. These things aren't something you can succeed on the first try.]
Seeing the black cat's calm demeanor, Otto gradually relaxed as well.
He nodded.
"Okay, let's begin."
