Chapter 22: The Contract between Master and Servant
Inside and outside the porch, Donald stands opposite Huxley.
The former stood by the gate, his figure shrouded in the light of a wall lamp, his eyes behind the golden mask staring at the old man in front of him, meaningful.
And in the shadows behind the door, Lilo, who was armed with a long sword, said nothing.
For Huxley, Donald initially thought of him as a role similar to a personal bodyguard, after all, his identity was that of Selvette Talos's butler, who was inseparable from him many times, and his identity was also concealed enough.
However, with a series of arrangements this afternoon, Donald watched him handle all aspects of affairs with ease, and he was almost familiar with the situation within the Talos family and the current situation in Renas City, and even in the capital alliance that should have been led by Sewit Taros.
All this is not the behavior of an old butler.
It's just that he is talented in internal affairs, but this guy is still a powerhouse at the peak of the awakening level!
As long as Huxley showed his talents, Donald believed that there would be a lot of people to recruit him, and it would not be difficult to become a core member of the Talos family in the near future.
Why would such a talent work under a scrap like Sewvet Taros?
This conjecture led Donald, who had intended to use Huxley as a thug, to believe that it was a ticking time bomb.
Huxley, who was standing outside the porch steps, was also looking at Donald at this time, and he also had his own opinion about the new "old master".
The near-annihilation of Sewvett Taros's team on the long street is a testament to the strength of his team.
The meticulous planning of the attack, and the steps that followed it, showed that these men were not brave and unscrupulous, and as he had said in front of Salazar, the killing of Sewether and Salazar was only a precondition for their plans.
Not to mention that now this new master is in control of his soul, and if he resists him, not only will he not be able to achieve his goal, but he is more likely to die here.
"I'll ask again, do you want to get from him...... Now what should I say from me, wealth, power?"
Seeing that Huxley didn't reply for a long time, Donald narrowed his eyes and asked again,
"Now, I have to get your answer!"
These two years have taught Donald a truth that he deeply believes.
Hesitation will only lead to a passive situation.
Huxley had to give him a reasonable explanation, otherwise he would never have left this time bomb by his side.
"The truth, I need to know the truth that a Talos family has been hiding for more than twenty years. ”
Huxley sensed the killing intent, and the girl behind the door who still did not decline even after the battle with Salazar made him feel great pressure, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke,
"This truth is only qualified to be known by the head of the Talos family, and Sewit Talos is my best choice, and of course, now you. ”
"What truth?"
"I don't know exactly what it's about, and that's why I'm looking for it...... I don't know if you're willing to make a contract with me. ”
If it were someone else, Huxley would rather die than reveal these information, but the person in front of him is different, he killed Sewvett Taros with his own hands, to some extent, this allows Huxley to also have a handle on his own, although the current situation between the two sides is not equal, but if the fish is really broken, Huxley can be regarded as having his own hole card.
"It's kind of interesting, let's hear it. ”
Donald snapped his fingers, and a pale circle flashed in front of him, followed by an invisible force that expanded outward, enveloping his surroundings.
Forbidden Silent Enchantment.
"The pact is simple, I can do everything in my power to help you take control of Renus and go higher in the future, and I want to share it with me when you have the ability to know that secret,"
Sewit Talos was Huxley's chosen target after a long period of thought, and his business had finally improved somewhat, and now he couldn't accept that he should give up and turn to the other heirs of the Talos family.
Admittedly, Huxley did have a good talent, but that didn't mean he had enough time to make himself a henchman for the other targets, let alone learn through them about the secrets that the Talos family had hidden for so long.
"In recent years, I have taken care of most of Sewit Taros's personal affairs, and I can easily control those overt and covert properties, and I also have the weakness of a considerable number of high-society figures in Rainas, so that you will not have so much resistance when carrying out your plans. ”
Huxley was undoubtedly a smart man, he could see that the other party wanted to kill him, and now was the time for him to show his value, and when he raised his hand and grasped it out of thin air, a delicate rifle half a man high appeared in his hand, and he continued,
"I'm an alien at the peak of the awakening level, and my talents are precision and qi gathering, and I can do it in medium and long-distance sniping and close-range combat!"
Donald was silent about it, as if waiting for something.
"Donald, he didn't lie to you. ”
Stephanie stepped out from behind the door and looked at Huxley with a stunned face.
Instead of making a fruit platter, she was listening to Huxley and Donald's conversation behind the door, and with her emotional talent she detected the former's psychological changes.
Lilo stood in Huxley's sight with her sword in hand, but it was just a deliberate effort to put pressure on him.
"I have to admit that you convinced me, the contract is established!"
The other party even made his talent clear, and he had shown enough sincerity, Donald didn't mind keeping him alive for the time being, and the current situation really needed someone to help him complete the transition.
"Thank you for your trust, Master Sewit. ”
Bowing down to salute, the night wind blew, and Huxley realized that his back had been soaked in cold sweat.
This new owner of his own seems to be more shrewd than he thinks......
Back in his bedroom, Donald stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, looked at himself in the mirror, and raised his hand to remove the demon mask.
Standing behind him, Stephanie covered her mouth, her eyes full of surprise, and even Lilo glanced at the image in the mirror.
Sewit Talos's appearance was not as vicious or ugly as Stephanie had suspected.
As the top nobleman of the empire, Sewit Talos is destined not to grow into a crooked melon and cracked date.
Contrary to conjecture, Sewitt's appearance is very handsome, and the lines of his face are not as angular as Donald's original, but have a docile and delicate air, coupled with Sewitt's already thin figure, if you put aside other external factors, such an image is really difficult to match with majesty and calmness.
But that's not the reason for Sewvett to wear a mask, after all, with his status, Renus belongs to the point where no one can stop him when he walks sideways, and what really makes him wear a mask wherever he goes is the features on his face that shouldn't be human.
About two fingers above the two eyebrows, there is an indeterminate mark formed by black demonic patterns entwined together.
This strange mark occupies nearly half of the area of Sewit's forehead, and Donald noticed that this particular presence on Sewit's face was not simple at the first sight of seeing it in the house, and Sewit had been wearing a mask to hide its existence.
It's just that there were so many things to do at the time that I haven't been able to leave time to check them out.
"Lilo, can you help me find out what information is about it? ”
Nodding the mark on his forehead, what it represented was something that Donald had to find out, and the key to finding it was the soul of Sewit Taros in Lilo's hands.
"To know the detailed information, it is necessary to absorb the fragments of his soul. ”
Lilo, who held Sewit's soul in her hands, responded in her mind.
"Disposable?"
Absorbing external soul fragments is a very dangerous act, if it is a one-time act, it means that the memories of Sewit's twenty years or so will flood into Donald's mind in an instant, and it is easy to cause confusion of the original memories and damage to the original soul, and the consequences are extremely serious.
Speaking of which, Donald experienced this kind of thing when he first came to this world, but at that time, most of the soul fragments of the original body had already been absorbed by Mineato, otherwise Donald would not only remember who his parents were after being reborn, but other than that, the memory was completely blank, and even if it was only a small part of the soul fragments, it still caused Donald to have intermittent memory regression after that, which caused him considerable trouble.
Because of this, even if Donald's soul is already very powerful now, he is still cautious about this kind of thing that has to do with the soul.
"You are too weak, a one-time devouring will cause soul damage, after breaking the soul, store the fragments and eat them piece by piece. ”
Lilo came up with a compromise.
"Is that okay?"
This is the first time Donald has heard of this method, and he was a little stunned for a while.
"Others can't, I can!"
High-level undead, such a confident use of souls!
