He simply replied:
"I have confirmed this in our previous conversation: Mannis needs me more at this stage than I need it. To put it bluntly, the bait it's thrown out can only work on the assumption that I still retain my humanity.
If I decide to forsake my humanity, it means Mannis has no cards left to play.
In this case, I am clearly the stronger party.
Besides, the contract may look grandiose, but it doesn't actually go beyond the definition of 'equality.' If you read it all the way through, you'll find I have no intention of turning Mannis into my loyal dog.
Not necessary at all!
All efforts by the weak to constrain the strong with schemes and tricks will end in vain, earning themselves a pitiable invitation to Hell.
The weak should have the awareness of their weakness. To maintain equality is already very good for me."
"It is the Time Snake, Triss, it only takes a second to read and understand all this, so don't worry about it getting furious."
