With the screeching siren, Adam opened his eyes with difficulty, and the first thing he saw was a huge head looking at him, he opened his mouth and wanted to salute Master Victor, but because he had not eaten normally for a long time, and he had just decisively cut off most of his cell tissue, he was so weak that he could not make a sound.

Master Victor didn't care, and with a gesture of his hand, a bottle of nutrient solution flew in front of Adam, and Adam killed it in one bite, and the gentle and advanced energy began to slowly repair his broken body.

"Clever, but this time it's not free. You have to give me at least five years of earnings before you can offset the value of your use of me. Master Victor muttered.

Adam regained some strength and got up from the ground and said, "Of course, it makes sense, respected Master Victor. ”

Adam looked at his surroundings and knew that he was supposed to be in the laboratory of a higher authority owner, and it was clear that this person was the Dean, which was why he and the devil were not eliminated by the Tower enforcers in the first place.

Adam gave a courtesy gesture, and Master Victor motioned for Adam to continue his business.

The energy digestion of the devil on the ground is about to be completed, although the negative energy of the official level has not allowed the devil to be promoted, but it has also greatly enhanced its strength, Adam can see that the demon's chaotic form has a quality, and it is no longer a simple will life, but because the devil cannot show his power in front of the mage, but Adam can feel from the energy escaping from it that this strength has equaled or even surpassed the now weak Adam.

Swish.

The devil opened his 'eyes', and from the part of his irregular body that resembled eyes, two gray rays of energy shot out, and the devil almost instantly forgot the pain he had just endured, and happily changed into human form, and kept patting and patting on himself, and then he saw Adam standing in front of him.

"Master, I seem to have really gotten stronger, Lord...... Huh?"

When the devil came back to his senses, he suddenly found that the chain bound in his soul was gone, and his sense of existence had never been as real as it was now, and he did not dare to send a faint energy attack at Adam.

This energy is very weak, that is, the target in the mission has no lethality, and Adam simply did not resist.

The devil watched the energy hit Adam, his expression turned to ecstasy, and he looked up to the sky and smiled: "Hahahaha, I'm free, Adam, you damned tyrant, I'm going to turn you into my slave and torture you for 10,000 years!"

"Ten thousand years?"

"That's right, for 10,000 years, you will pay for your actions!"

"Will you sign a master-servant contract?"

The devil froze for a moment, it really didn't, but it still said strongly, "I... Sooner or later, I can learn. ”

"Well, do you know where you are now?"

"Of course I know, I'm ......" The devil's face turned white, the Mage Continent, it is in the Mage Continent, it is not a small country plane.

"It seems that you know, so do you know what kind of energy is running in your body right now?"

The devil's face turned paler.

"Do you know what happens if an ownerless alien creature with a body of negative energy appears in the Mage Continent?"

The devil's face turned pale, and he imagined on his knees that he knew what kind of tragic fate he was about to face.

Adam lightly made up the last cut: "You look back." ”

The devil turned his head stiffly, his neck crunching, and then saw the mage Victor behind him.

The devil's body collapsed at once, and he rushed back behind Adam with a whoosh, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord, master, I was joking just now, I will always be your most loyal servant, how dare I betray you, sign a contract with me!"

The devil knew each other very well, and after recovering from the joy of his mind, he immediately recognized the reality, and knew that in this world, it could not survive without Adam's side, of course, it could also choose to sign a contract with other mages, but I am afraid that Adam would not give it this chance.

Even if Adam looked weak enough to be blown away by a gust of wind, it would still choose Adam intellectually, and it knew better than anyone how terrifying this teenager was.

Adam easily sketched out the runes of the master-servant contract, and the devil did not resist in the slightest, feeling with tears in his eyes that freedom was once again far away from it, and then plunged into Adam's mind and refused to come out.

After doing all this, Adam officially thanked Venerable Victor: "Thank you for your help, Venerable Venerable Venerable Victor. ”

"Well, it's a fair deal, everything that happens in your soul is valuable knowledge, and in the end, you need to give me the fee, of course, allow you to pay in installments. ”

After Master Victor finished speaking, he motioned for Adam to leave on his own, not only because he didn't have time to talk nonsense with Adam, but also because after losing the isolation and restraint of the laboratory, Adam's weakened body was once again in danger of being assimilated by the mage's will.

Adam slowly walked down the tower, and instead of rushing back to the lab, he walked through the academy step by step. Nothing has changed in the building, it is the people who have changed.

Adam had the ability to forget, and although he had no interest in associating with the people he had done before, he did not forget, but now he found that the academy was full of new apprentices he had never seen before.

"How long has it been?"

In Adam's mind, the devil replied, "It's been almost two years." ”

Adam was silent, has it been so long?

The apprentices walking among the students also looked at Adam with amazement, the previous two admissions were special circumstances, one was the emergency replenishment after the defeat of the Tower War, and the other was the additional opportunity obtained because of Adam, the normal academy enrollment was based on ten years, and it was far from coming, so it stands to reason that there should be no one in the academy who has not seen it.

But before they could ask, they heard the last group of apprentices cry out in astonishment: "Adam?!"

Adam?

Adam ignored them, didn't even look back, and continued to walk towards the academy, no one who was familiar with his character cared about his attitude, but the surprise in his heart still couldn't be reduced, they all learned about what happened to Adam through their own channels, no one thought he could survive, but now Adam actually appeared in front of them again, even if it didn't seem to be in a very good state, but-

Didn't Adam die?

Everyone in the laboratory was still silent and practiced meditation, and no one spoke, because there was no way to get answers to the problems they encountered through discussion.

Suddenly, William opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, I ......"

With a click, the door to the laboratory opened automatically, interrupting William's words and causing James and Frank's thoughts to go blank all at once.

"Ada, Adam?!"

Adam walked into the lab, gave a rare smile, shook the devil out of his mind, and whispered, "I'm back." ”

......

Early the next morning, James, who was the first to come to the laboratory, pushed open the door, and I don't know if it was because of illusion, he felt that the laboratory was full of life, and it was a feeling that the road ahead was no longer uncertain.

He was under the most pressure of the three, because his life was short, he had already shown an irrepressible old age, and if it weren't for the fact that he had a good relationship with Elliot recently, and could get high-quality potions from him at a low price, James probably wouldn't even be able to maintain his current state.

He said to Adam, who was sweeping the floor, "Hello, Mr. Devil. ”

The sweeping Adam was the devil who became, and James knew very well that Adam would never do these chores with his own hands, and the devil glanced up at him too lazy to speak, and lowered his head and continued to mumble curses to Adam.

James knocked on the door of Adam's room and saw Adam sitting silently in his chair, stunned.

He didn't bother Adam, but stood aside and waited, and nearly an hour later, Adam's voice came, "Good morning, James." What's the matter?"

James wanted to ask Adam for advice with all the questions he had accumulated over the past year, but after seeing the scene just now, he asked worriedly, "Is the situation bad?"

Adam nodded and said unconcernedly: "It seems to be very bad now, first of all, the damage to the body, it will probably take a long recovery period, and during this time, I need to continue to consume high-quality energy potions." But the most serious thing is the soul damage. ”

Although Adam defeated the mutated soul tearing magic, but the sequelae caused by forcibly interrupting the promotion and forcibly separating the energy gave him a headache, like the body, Adam is equivalent to tearing apart part of his soul, but unlike the body, the damage to the soul is more difficult to recover, according to Adam's calculations,

"It is estimated that it will take more than 10 years to recover. ”

James was staggered, ten years was only a short period of time for an ordinary apprentice like them, maybe it was only enough for them to grasp the initial idea, understand some necessary knowledge, and learn some common magic, but with Adam's rate of progress, he had no doubt that Adam could be promoted within ten years.

Of course, he didn't know that Adam had already been promoted, but he was given up by himself.

But Adam didn't pay much attention to it, and after this incident, the concept of abandonment was completely abandoned in both his logical and emotional thinking.

It's just more time, nothing more than death.

Just as James was about to come forward to ask questions, the devil came in the form of Elliot, and said angrily, "Master, Elliot has come to you." ”

James smiled bitterly and put away his question, he knew that there was probably no chance today, but it didn't matter, Adam was back, there was still a lot of time in the future.
