37 – Slave contract.

I was shocked by the unexpected reward message.

If it wasn’t for the characteristic of being calm, the curse would have come out of my mouth.

Because the reward that has appeared now is so good that it makes no sense.

‘I didn’t know you could get that easily.’

There is one thing in common regardless of the rank of any archer class.

That skill is none other than summoning a descendant.

No matter what job you have, you will have the skill of summoning your family.

Of course, depending on the rank, the clan that can be contracted with differs, but in the end, any archer will have a clan.

‘Can I make a contract with this Tier 1 Phoenix?’

To summon a follower, two conditions are required.

One is, of course, the skill of summoning a descendant.

This is nothing short of essential.

The second depends on the grade, but the higher the tier, the more necessary materials from your family.

For example, to summon a phoenix that is no different from Tier 1, you need to sacrifice that feather.

‘Even if you summon it, you can’t sign a contract for quite a few jobs.’

But, what is my job now?

Isn’t it a hidden job called a shrine that even I, the developer, didn’t know about?

Considering that it is a hidden level, you might be able to sign a contract with the phoenix.

‘How much do you eat raw?’

The time I smiled triumphantly inwardly.

“Mr. Baran?”

Lilia, who was watching from behind her, stared at me with eyes as if asking what she was doing.

It seems that I have been locked in my thoughts for too long.

I wonder if Miroel next to me looks suspiciously at me.

Master. If you look at it like that, it’s a wound in your heart.

“Sorry. Just thinking about it for a while.”

“No. Let’s go faster than that.”

Since catching her Tia is more urgent than Rael’s bracelet, she starts urging her.

I nodded and opened my mouth.

“Yes, I understand.”

After she said that, I hugged her like before and used her high-speed movement.

Of course, I hugged Mirroel from behind like it was natural, but that didn’t matter.

***

Same time.

Tia escaped from the dungeon.

She was running with all her might to tell Hirun about the current situation.

“Haaah”

The mouth smells sweet.

A cold sweat runs down my face.

She frowned as she recalled what had happened in the cave for a moment.

‘What kind of rebellion are they doing on the subject of criminals?’

The mercenaries that Lillia ordered herself to hire.

On the outside, they may look like ordinary mercenaries.

However, in fact, they secretly commit crimes without hesitation.

It’s just that up until now I’ve only had a little heart attack and no physical evidence, so I didn’t get caught.

It’s practically no different than a criminal.

However, contrary to expectations, those guys resisted to the end.

As a result, time was wasted beyond imagination.

‘I don’t think Liliana blind will be able to break the barrier and escape.’

I don’t know the world.

Especially, that blind man named Baran might have powers that he is unaware of.

“Whoa. Let’s take a break for a minute.”

Tia stopped her steps while muttering that.

It was then that she turned her head and looked at her dungeon.

“Huh, where are you looking? Tia?”

I heard a voice in my ears that I shouldn’t have heard.

Tia involuntarily turned her head hard.

Now then.

“You came unexpectedly late?”

Lilia raises her hand in greeting with her wacky grin.

Not only that, but Baran was also with her.

Tia, who saw the two of them, muttered in disbelief.

“How…?”

“Huh, it doesn’t matter now anyway, so I’ll tell you. The person next to me gave me a shortcut.”

Shortcut?

She investigated this dungeon a month ago on Lillia’s orders.

Of course, I couldn’t find out in detail because I hadn’t entered it myself, but one thing was certain: there was only one passageway.

Because of that, I didn’t even think there would be a shortcut.

In the first place, there is only one aisle, but who would have predicted that there would be a shortcut?

‘But how did that blind man figure that out?’

Aren’t you a person with bad eyesight?

I wonder if a blind person found a shortcut in that dark cave.

“Do you have time to glance?”

Then, Lillia snaps her fingers with a relaxed smile.

The next moment, huge flames rose from the floor.

-Hwaaah!

Her rising flames approach her with the momentum to attack her.

I have seen Lillia’s magic countless times since before.

So, I do know that it is an illusion.

But.

“Quaaah!”

The moment the rising flames attacked her body, those thoughts disappeared.

A pain she had never felt before attacked her whole body.

It is said that burning at the stake is nothing other than the most painful way for a person to die.

This is the moment when you realize that once again.

“Hey, it holds up well.”

For a moment, seeing Tia enduring the illusion, Lilia put on a somewhat surprised expression.

Usually, they give up here.

However, Guernsey Tia, who knows that her own magic is an illusion, shows herself to be enduring well beyond her expectations.

‘Huh. I’m still doing it weakly because I have something to find out.’

It seems that the intensity needs to be increased a little.

Lillia snapped her fingers.

Then, the flames that erupted from the ground stopped.

Tia sat down in a cold sweat.

Then, she let out a heavy breath.

“Heo-eok… Heo-eok…”

She knew it was an illusion.

However, I was worried about giving up.

‘I’ve been wondering why people couldn’t resist Lillia’s magic until now.’

I never imagined that I would feel such terrible pain.

“Since Tia is enduring well, shall we go to the next step?”

“The next step?”

“Yes, it holds up so well. So please, I hope you endure well this time too.”

“Now, wait a minute…!”

Before she can finish her words, Lilia casts the Illusion Magic once again.

Tia couldn’t hold on to her next welcome spell, so she quickly gave up.

***

Lilia barrages her questions at Tia, who announces her total abandonment.

It seems that Tia is asking questions to hear the exact reason for her betrayal.

‘Anyway, this reward is unfortunate.’

I caught Tia this time and cleared her quest.

However, contrary to expectations, only 1,000 points were given.

Actually, this is also a huge amount compared to the past, but it is somehow regrettable that the one I received before was so great.

‘Well, still, it’s not too bad since I got more benefits today than I could have imagined.’

Baran thought about that for a while, then Lillia walked towards it.

“Did you finish the conversation?”

She nods her head slowly at his question.

“Yes, that’s exactly what I thought.”

She has a bittersweet smile, unlike her usual laid-back face.

She thinks that her subordinate, whom she has worked with since childhood, betrayed her, so she must have been quite shocked as well.

‘I expected it, but it’s true.’

She asked why Tia was betraying her, and sure enough, she said that she had a vague idea of a revenge plan.

Tia, who felt her incongruity, secretly investigated her background, and as a result, she said that she had confidence as of today.

‘At least the timing is good, so it’s a shame.’

If Hairun had been in the royal capital, her plans would surely have collapsed today.

‘It’s fortunate that this person is there too.’

Lillia slowly moved her head to her wish.

She hopes that the moment she is in danger, she will save herself.

If he hadn’t been there today, she would have definitely missed Conda Tia.

‘Maybe he was locked in a dungeon and starved to death.’

She was trying to get into debt, but she never imagined she would get her help this way.

‘I’ll have to give you a separate elixir later.’

If you do it like this, it will look good to him.

She thought so and turned her gaze to her Tia.

Then, Baran asks a question.

“What are you trying to do?”

“Of course I have to kill him. Oh, of course, he dies in an unfortunate accident in the dungeon.”

Lilia smiles and speaks bloody words.

Well, given what Tia did, such a reaction is natural.

However, you must not kill me like this.

Wouldn’t it be more efficient to use that woman than that?

“There are better ways than killing.”

“Yes?”

At those words, Lillia raised her question mark above her head.

Baran saw her like that and smiled at her sinisterly.

Then, she pulls out a piece of paper from her pocket.

From noble mtl dot com.

“Let’s use this.”

“That is…”

The next moment, she puts on a slightly surprised expression as she sees the contract in front of her eyes.

Because I couldn’t even imagine that Baran, who thought he was benevolent, would take out a piece of paper called a slave contract.

“Not bad. Definitely whoop whoop.”

“Isn’t it?”

Miroel shook his head as he saw the two of them smiling sinisterly.

-Haa, how did I accept such a person as a disciple?
