Chapter 178: Signing the Contract
A demon clad in dark red scales, white bony claws, and a massive tail walked in, spitting sulfur from his mouth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The person who came in was Kennan, who had accepted the assignment and was ready to talk to his employer.
The attendant who led the way gently retreated after leading Kenan to the room. Only Kennan, the old butler, the princess in the soft leather chair, and the maid standing behind the princess were left.
Before the old butler could say anything to Kenan, the maid standing behind the princess was the first to speak, "Despicable reptile, you don't salute when you see Her Royal Highness the princess of the Rhodok Kingdom. Ask for forgiveness from Her Royal Highness the Princess. ā
"Huh?" Kenan unleashed the coercion of his fifth-level peak demon, and the coercion mixed with blood and the angry roar of the wraiths instantly crushed the maids who grew up in the court. The maid sat down on the ground the moment the coercion swept over, and a stream of yellow liquid soaked the precious carpet on the ground. An unpleasant smell filled the air.
And Her Royal Highness the princess was better, because she was sitting on the soft leather seat, and Kennan's coercion was only aimed at the maid, and gently let go of the other two, so there was nothing more ugly. But I was also scared into a cold sweat.
The old butler, on the other hand, had seen a lot of the world with the king, and was barely able to maintain his standing posture, but he was also frightened.
Kennan glanced at the performance of everyone in the room, and felt that the effect of his dismount was still good, so he nodded in satisfaction, then snorted coldly, and sat down in a wide leather seat.
"I'm the demon who is ready to take on the mission you have issued, so let's discuss the specific conditions and details of the mission. Kenan sat on the leather seat and explained his intention.
Hearing this, the old butler took out the Styx contract that had been prepared a long time ago, "Your Excellency the Demon, this is the detailed contract of the mission, please take a look." ā
Kenan snatched the contract from the old butler's hand and examined it carefully.
The contract is written in the lingua franca, and there are a total of 132 covenants, most of which are rules that describe the requirements and obligations of the demon mercenary, and the tasks that the demon will be hired to complete are described and specified in detail. Most of the remaining treaties are interpretations of the rights of the employer, emphasizing that the employer has absolute command over the devil, and the devil needs to obey the command. Only the last two or three show that the demon is paid by the employer for the completion of the task after completing the task, and the employer has the absolute right to interpret the treaty.
After reading it, Kenan threw the contract directly in the princess's face, "You call this a contract? Even the deed of sale is much more lenient than this contract, even the greedy goblins will not sign such a harsh contract, even the devil does not have such a shameless face, and besides, this service period is actually a thousand years? Are you sure you will live to that time? If you still want to walk out of the door of this room, change the contract according to my wishes." ā
Originally, the princess would not have given in so simply, but under the shroud of Kenan's powerful killing aura, she obediently redrew the contract.
The new contract is actually a copy of the old one, except that all the main rights are transferred to Kennan. Kenan looked at it and saw that there was nothing wrong, and then asked the princess to sign her name on the deed before giving it to the River Styx.
At this time, Kenan was lying on the soft leather seat that originally belonged to the princess, letting the princess and the maid wipe the scales for herself, while the old butler reported the specific situation of the kingdom and the current situation of the princess and her party.
Whether a person can change himself quickly depends mainly on whether the external stimuli given are large enough. You see, the princess, who was still arrogant just now, is now like an ordinary maid who carefully wipes the scales on Kenan's body, even more carefully than the maid. The transformation was huge enough to stunned those who knew the princess well.
However, Kennan didn't care and didn't care about the princess being able to change so dramatically. Because the princess is just a chess piece in his hand, the chess player will not care what his chess pieces think, he only needs those chess pieces to complete his mission.
Kenan frowned and looked at the old butler, "So you're like lost dogs, you've reached the point of exhaustion?
"I hate to admit it, but that's exactly what it is, my lord. The old butler bowed and replied.
Kenan reclined in his leather seat with his hands crossed, "You go and inform the mercenaries to buy food, and we will return to the kingdom tomorrow." Don't say much about the rest, I'll take care of it. ā
"Yes, sir. The old butler bowed respectfully, and then respectfully withdrew. But he didn't notice the cold glint in Kenan's eyes.
Early the next morning, the princess's team packed up, because they themselves escaped from the kingdom, so in addition to a housekeeper and a maid, the rest were just a few guardian knights and a team of mercenaries, so it was relatively simple to pack up, and everyone set off after simply sorting out the supplies.
And it's only a few days away from the nearest supply point in Whitehorse, so you don't need to carry too much supplies. After all, space equipment is a legendary item for these mercenaries, and learning to calculate the amount of materials to carry according to the distance is the most basic skill of a mercenary.
The group left Sin City in a queue with several carriages and embarked on the road back to Whitehorse.
Since this road from White Horse City to Sin City is related to the money bags of many large caravans, the soldiers stationed in White Horse City continue to clear the bandits in this area, making this section of the road surprisingly peaceful. It is even safer than the trade routes of the kingdom.
Not to mention the rogues and robbers, there are not even a few large carnivores, which shows the strength of the forces behind these caravans.
The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, although the princess's team has fallen to this point, but there is still a certain background, for example, the princess's team is full of horses. At least to the point of one rider per person, which is not possible in the kingdom's army. It can be seen that the princess's original wealth is still very considerable, and most of it was squandered by the princess herself. Otherwise, in terms of strength, the princess and his brother actually have the strength to fight, at least not inferior to her brother in terms of wealth.
Kenan naturally could not ride a horse outside by himself, weathering the wind and sun, but sat in the original princess's carriage and enjoyed the massage of the princess and the maid.
Kenan saw through the cracks in the curtain on the car window the receding scenery and the receding Sin City, and thought to himself that when I came back here, this place would be mine.
