Chapter 3: Stewardship
Inside the mirror stood a boy in a comically fat princely gown, with clear eyebrows and very cute eyes. It's just that on his immature face, he shows a little bit of the temperament of a superior, and the appearance of the little adult reveals a little witty expression, which makes him even more right.
Da Liang recognized that this was what he looked like when he was six years old, which was still the age of the flower season in kindergarten.
The child in the mirror frowned, showing a helpless expression, Da Liang knew that he had really pitted himself this time. The elimination of individual strength is not only a change in attributes, but also a physical child who has no ability to protect himself. Without magic and strength, I am afraid that I can't even beat the weakest big-eared monster now.
Fortunately, I still have a large tomb, and I am still effectively loyal to my army and heroes......
Loyal?
If this is the real world, the contract effect in the game may no longer be able to limit these heroes under him. Da Liang believes that no matter what he becomes, most of his subordinates will remain loyal to him, but the other part may not.
For example, I am a housekeeper...... Mike
Da Liang looked in the mirror to see Mike standing behind him, he was shaved and dressed in a modest black tuxedo, and the wrinkles on his face recorded the vicissitudes of his long life. But even though he was old, he still stood upright, with the grace of an elf on his body, and wisdom and kindness in his eyes.
At this time, it is like a faithful servant waiting for the master's command.
But never be deceived by Mike's appearance.
The first time Ryo meets Mike is in the Misty District of Sigh City, the Land of the Dead, which is home to the world's most notorious fugitives and is the "Valley of the Wicked" in the game world. At that time, Da Liang didn't have the strength and power he has now, he was just a hairy boy who had just broken into the undead plane, and Mike was the boss of one of the three gangs in the Misty District.
You can't see the noble character of the elves in Mike's body, in the chaotic, poor and multi-racial misty area, if you want to survive, you have to cheat and cheat and do all kinds of evil, and Mike can stand in the misty area, which shows that he is not an ordinary villain.
The former Da Liang was the fat sheep in Mike's eyes. It's just that after Da Liang used the strategy of killing three soldiers with two peaches to kill the other two gangsters, he took control of the Misty Zone, and the situation forced Mike to choose to surrender.
Mike, who came over, first managed the Destiny Manor in the Misty District for Da Liang, and after showing excellent management skills, he was transferred by Da Liang to the Great Tomb to take charge of the later construction of this place and became the steward of this fortress.
Managing the Great Tomb brought Mike's talent to full play, and the huge underground fortress was combed in an orderly manner by him. The Great Sepulpin was able to be put into operation when the divine plane was opened, and Mike contributed a lot.
But in the past, Da Liang's strength could suppress Mike, but now ...... In front of Mike, Da Liang, who has become a child, is an ant that can be slaughtered at any time.
Through the mirror, Da Liang glanced at Mike and asked casually, "Mike...... Can I still trust you now? ”
Mike stood behind Da Liang, he didn't know what had happened to his master, but he could feel his master's terrifying magic completely gone. Now that he has completely lost all his strength, he is a young boy of the human race, and there is a gap between himself and his strength.
But Mike didn't have the slightest idea of rebelling against Da Liang, he knew that the real fear of this master was not only his strength, but also his intelligence.
He was a conspirator, a top hero who disappeared from this world before he flipped his hand. He was able to become the master of hell and bring the most treacherous helllord kings to his knees, not by his force.
Therefore, when Mike noticed that Da Liang began to doubt himself, a cold sweat immediately broke out on his back.
Mike knew that his strength was very strong, and the 15th order could be called a strong person in any plane, but in the Great Tomb...... His strength is not top-notch. The master was standing one step in front of him, and he lost all his strength, as if he could stretch out his hand to break his neck. Mike had killed Terran children, and he never hesitated, nor did he have any thoughts of self-reproach.
But this time...... Faced with the owner who had become a child, he didn't dare to move his whole body. He knows...... If you can't dispel your master's doubts about your loyalty, then what awaits you is a dead end. Even if there is only oneself and the master here, even if one has a 15th-order power, even if the master is a child who has no power to bind the chicken.
At this time, Mike only worries about whether he will be alive or not.
Mike knelt down on one knee behind Da Liang, bowed his head to his master, who was still much shorter than himself, and said humbly: "Your Highness, my master...... Whatever you become will not diminish my devotion to you.
Please do not doubt my loyalty, for your name alone is enough for me to dare not give birth to any thoughts of betraying you. ”
Da Liang turned around, his longer pants made his movement a little difficult, and he had to secretly pull his belt with his hands to prevent them from slipping down...... Prevent embarrassment in front of subordinates. Da Liang looked at Mike, who was kneeling taller than himself, and his heart was full of helplessness about the changes in his body.
Da Liang was not worried that Mike would suddenly attack him, Mo said that it was absolutely impossible for him to leave the Great Tomb alive if he killed himself, even if he wanted to, he couldn't touch himself...... Even if there is only one step between himself and him, he can't cross this step.
Looking at Mike, who was humbly kneeling in front of him, Da Liang stared at him for a while and asked, "Get up, are you all here?" ”
Mike breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that he had passed the test. Although it is not certain whether the owner still doubts himself, at least in the eyes of the owner, his credibility is above the warning line. Mike stood up and reverted to his strict butler appearance, and in response to Da Liang's question, he replied, "Master, the high-ranking heroes in the Great Tomb have all arrived at the Immortal Palace...... Waiting for your arrival.
Until then...... I recommend that you change into a dress that fits well.
Why don't you ask your maids to come over and tailor a dress for you now? ”
Big Light nodded, then tugged at his clothes. He was now wearing the prince's gown of the First Empire of the Main World, and the gorgeous decorations showed the prince's noble status, but the weight of the fabric and accessories was still a little too heavy for the body of a six-year-old child. Da Liang said to Mike: "Don't bother, I remember that there is a finished costume in the Terran Griffon City clothing store, you go and pick one for me immediately......
I want to go to the Immortal Palace as soon as possible and discuss the possible crisis with my heroes. ”
"Yes, my master."
Mike saluted Da Liang, and an oval door of light opened behind him, and he took a step back and retreated into it.
