Chapter 313: The Price of the Contract
Miria's sudden vomiting of blood and falling to the ground surprised everyone.
Dali hurriedly helped her up and shook her, and said in a panic: "Hey, hey, what's going on!" What's going on! β
Jasmine frowned, "What happened in the mine?" β
Dali was ignorant and panicked: "This, I asked her to sign a contract with the demon lord Balrog, but it has been fine for the past three days." β
Jasmine was stunned, "You asked her to sign a contract with the Demon Lord? Then he saw that there was a striking pattern on the back of Milia's hand, and he asked in surprise, "This is the contract of eternal servitude!" Why don't you sign up for such a good thing yourself, but let the mercenaries sign up? β
Dali had to explain, "Because the demon said that once I signed a contract with him as a paladin, it would mean that I would fallβ"
Jasmine interrupted bitterly, "Stupid! How stupid! Enslaving demons, everyone is responsible, where is there any depravity! You've been deceived by him! β
Bang! It was like a muffled thunder, and Dali Muran was on the spot.
Jasmine sighed: "Many stupid mortals want to enslave demons, weak demons who can be enslaved are useless, and powerful demons are enslaved by him, most of the cases of signing a contract with powerful demons are actually enslaved by demons, so there is one of the fallen people who say that there is no such problem that you completely eat the contract terms of demons, you have made the most basic mistake of common sense by confusing the concept with half understanding!" β
How could it be? I'll just say that it's impossible for the system not to warn you in advance about such a big thing as Fall, and it's impossible not to warn Muxeron when he issues a signing task, after all, the Lich Sword and the Ghost King's pet eggs are clearly written. I only remember now that there is a fart!
"Then what's the situation with Miria now?"
Jasmine said: "The contract is like a shackle, tying up the master and the demon at the same time, and you let the weak mercenary sign the contract with the powerful demon lord, which is equivalent to letting a child of a few years old lead a tiger for a walk!" Even if the tiger doesn't kill the master, the child who is tied to the rope of the contract is not able to control the galloping tiger at all, and will still be dragged to death! That is to say, because of the huge difference in strength between the two sides of the contract, Miria is unable to maintain the power of the contract, unable to pay the price, and will eventually die, and you will lose this mercenary forever. β
Energetic exclaimed: "Miria will die!?" Lost forever? β
Jasmine said: "Yes, this involves a very complex principle of the power of contract, in a word, you must not sign a contract with an existence that is too powerful than yourself. β
Dali exclaimed: "I'm also weak, Miria can't sign a contract, can I sign a contract?" β
Jasmine shook her head and sighed, "Don't you think that being an adventurer has a lot of privileges? β
Wole a groove! Players are different from NPCs, players are the gods of game companies, although there are many restrictions, there are also many privileges, such as unlimited resurrection! If the player can't sign a contract, the old man will definitely not be able to release the signing task!
- Ahhh As soon as I thought of this, a mouthful of old blood spurted out! I've been deceived by NPCs! That Balrog actually wanted to sign a contract with a mercenary so he pretended to be angry and led himself to be fooled, right? Sometimes, really stupid people are not easy to be fooled if they only admit death, and it is the kind of people who think they are smart and are often rectified. Fierce remorse and begged: "Jasmine, I know it's wrong, I've put too much effort into this mercenary, you must save her!" β
Jasmine frowned, "When did I allow you to call me by my first name?" Famous, famous, know what is famous? β
Wole a groove, your husband and I are in a hurry, you are still entangled in the name of a fart! I don't even know what to call you. Dali had to continue to beg: "I was wrong, I was wrong, you must save her!" You're an angel, you can't just watch the devil fix me in front of me! β
Jasmine glared, "You didn't bring it on yourself?" Hum! Give me your hand! β
Dali hurriedly stretched out his hand - snap! There was a crisp sound, and Jasmine exasperated, "Her hands! β
Dali had to let out a stupid sigh.
At this time, Jasmine held Miria's contract hand tightly, and the white light between her palms was blazing, and the entire pool hall was full of light!
Finally, Miria coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood, and woke up.
Dali was pleasantly surprised: "Wake up!" β
"I'm so tired!" Jasmine let out a long breath and panted as she lay out on the sun lounger. Fiona hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat.
Dali said excitedly: "Thank you so much for your hard work!" β
Jasmine said with a withered expression: "You are too happy too early, the power of the contract cannot be disobeyed, I just tried my best to delay the time of her death." The rest is up to you. β
Hey, life is unsatisfactory, I know it's not so easy. Dali asked, "What do I need to do?" β
Jasmine said: "One, improve her strength, to be precise, to improve her rank, now she has enslaved a high-level demon should be qualified to advance to the second-order demon mage, but it is far from enough, at least to be promoted to the third-order demon subduer, because the demon lord is at least a third-order creature, and your mercenary rank must match it." Second, try not to let her fight, signing a contract with the demon will greatly increase her strength, but there is no lunch for nothing, according to the principle of equivalent exchange of the demon law, she must also pay the corresponding price to compensate the demon, but she is too weak to take a few lives and can't pay it back, and the battle will accelerate her death. Three, from now on, her level will be unstoppably gradually reduced, once she drops to level 40, the power of the contract will collapse and she will die, so you must promote her to level 3 before she drops to level 40. Do you understand? β
He nodded vigorously in a daze: "Ming, I understand......"
Jasmine frowned and said, "Really understand or fake understand?" Don't be self-righteous, just ask if you don't understand anything, I used all my strength for her just now, and it will take a long time to recover, don't let my hard work be in vain. β
What? Drained all your strength again? Take a closer look, indeed, at this time, Jasmine no longer has a radiant brilliance, her body is much darker, and she is no different from an ordinary person. Hey, why can't you keep a battery alive?
Dali had to ask: "This, there is a problem, why is your strength so easy and easy to consume?" β
Jasmine slowly turned her back to Dali and said warmly, "This is your problem?" In contrast, you should be more concerned about how your mercenaries advance, right? β
He sneered and said, "This, I also care about you." β
Jasmine said lightly: "Yes, by the way, how is your ascetic training?" β
"This, it's pretty so-so, I already have 100 points of piety to learn skin hardening."
Jasmine sighed: "It's really not good, just donate money to the Holy See, okay, I'm very tired now and need to rest, remember what I just said." As soon as I finished speaking, the snoring came, and I saw the second sleep magic skill again!
Fiona said: "The adults are tired, don't affect the rest of the adults." β
Everyone walked out of the hall in amusement.
Time is pressing, so let's just find a way to advance Miria as she said first. Still, if you're a demon mage, isn't there a ready-made Jessica here?
Vigorously took Miria and Asseri to the Alchemy Lab to find Jessica.
It was still greeted by Milatini's warm greeting: "Welcome Lord." β
Hey, the person I like doesn't bird me, I don't like the person who birds me, the egg of life hurts ten**.
Jessica said angrily: "Lord Lord, what's the matter?" "Well, it looks like I'm still angry about Emily.
Dali showed her the back of Miria's hand, "Teacher Jessica, here's the thingβ"
At this time, Jessica's eyes widened, and she said in shock: "This is, the contract mark of the demon lord level!" Just, just by her? β
sighed vigorously: "So, something is wrong, in order to save her life, I have to find a way to advance her, Teacher Jessica must help me!" β
Jessica smiled evilly: "It's not easy to save your life, just chop off your hand." β
it! Can you chop your hands in the game? Vigorously and urgently: "I can't help it, I can't help it!" β
Jessica shook her head and sighed, "It seems that you have been doing quite well in Cabrada during this time?" You go to Cabrada and ask first, if you can't do it, come to me, and prepare for the worst. β
What's the worst? Dali was stunned, and had to sigh: "If that's the case, then there will only be trouble for the teacher." β
Jessica nodded: "She has less than a month to live, and if she fights, her life will be shorter, so hurry up." β
Advance to the third level in a month? How crazy is this? Who else but the Traveler can do it?
With a flash of white light, he vigorously crushed the teleportation scroll and returned to Cabrada, heading straight for Muxelon's house.
"Success???" The old man was overjoyed: "Wow hahaha, I'll take a look, I'll look at the mark!" β
With a wry smile, he showed the back of Miria's hand to the old man.
The old man was stunned, and then he was furious: "Mr. Baron! Do you know what you're doing? I entrusted my best disciple to you, and you did this, foolishβwell, now the problem is serious! β
Forcefully forced: "Professor, I know it's wrong, I heard that only by advancing her to the third-order demon subduer can she avoid death, can the old gentleman introduce a few advanced mentors?" β
The old man was angry: "Introduction? The advanced mentors of the demon slayer are all extinct! He killed him for the idea of fighting this Balrog! β
Wole a slot! It turns out that the more than ten self-righteous guys you said earlier who were killed were all third-order demon subduers? Thinking about it, if you drown the water and kill the mouth, who is not the third order, who dares to provoke the demon lord? Dali exclaimed: "Then, then there is no way?" β
The old man sighed: "Hey, presumably there will be a few guys who are about to advance to the Demon Conqueror this year, I don't know much of these second-rate characters, only the acquaintances of the military department have inquired about it." By the way, I said okay, if you succeed, I'll take you to meet a few people from the military department. β
"Then I'll have to trouble the professor to introduce me."
