Chapter 64: The Witch Candidate
"Yes, so we still have to put some restraint on your behavior."
As if she had received Morgan's instructions, Athena said in agreement.
"If you are willing to be the retinue of His Excellency the 'Viscount Mariano', we can let you out. Because he can restrain you to a certain extent so that you do not bring disaster to others. ”
"Viscount ......"
Shirley is not an ignorant and innocent girl, although she is not very old, but she was tragically abandoned by her mother and arrested by MI9 for no reason, she is obviously much more mature than other girls of the same age.
She muttered a slight word about Glerint's title, obviously a little tempted.
In the East Byron colony, there is a more blatant difference in identity and status than in Beckland.
Here, indigenous slaves had the lowest status and could be said to have no human rights at all. This is followed by slightly better indigenous civilians and a slightly better mestizo.
And the higher and more noble ones are pure-blooded ordinary Rune people, Rune gentlemen.
As for the nobles of Rune, Shirley had only seen two or three of them here, including Morgan.
"What would I do if I said yes?"
She asked, a little fearful.
To this question, both Morgan and Athena tilted their heads towards Glerint, motioning for him to answer.
After a moment's silence, Gleilynt said without joy or anger:
"Obey all my commands."
Then, without waiting for her to refuse, he quickly explained:
"Of course, I can promise not to take the initiative to do anything to hurt you, and not to insult your personality. This can be written into a 'contract'. ”
He didn't have to guess to know what the girl was afraid of.
The phrase "follow all orders" was a little difficult for Shirley to accept. This means that even if the other party asks her to go on some very dangerous task, she can't refuse.
She frowned and continued to ask:
"How much can you pay?"
"Also, how long do I need to serve you before I leave?"
A similar servant agreement is not a deed of sale, and there is no reason for an employer to deter a servant from leaving as long as the length of service has expired.
However, for the nobles who want to cultivate the retinue of the extraordinary, they have to invest a lot of wealth in the growth of the retinue, so the length of service they require is generally extraordinarily long.
But Glelynt didn't think so:
"£3 a week, five years."
"As for how much you spend on the transcendent path, I will pay a portion of it according to your ability to complete the mission."
A retinue of the Extraordinary with five years of service is completely impossible with other nobles, and their cultivation of the Retinue of the Extraordinary is a long-term investment, and the signing of the agreement is basically not less than twenty or thirty years. But Gleilynt thinks that in five years, he should become a demigod. By that time, a retinue of medium and low sequences would no longer mean much to him.
As for the 3 pounds a week, although it was quite generous, it did not attract the attention of Morgan. After all, the tasks to be performed by the entourage of the Extraordinary are all relatively dangerous, and Gleilint is a viscount, so it is impossible to be stingy in this regard.
When she heard Glerint spit out the time of "five years", Shirley had no thought of refusing at all.
"Okay, I agree to be your Excellency's retinue."
"Hoo ......"
Morgan was visibly relieved, and said with a smile on his face:
"I'll draw up a 'contract' of extraordinary power for you at once, as well as a lease contract and a letter of responsibility for the loss of the two seals."
"You can talk here for a while and get acquainted with each other."
With that, he left with Athena.
How can it be like a blind date ceremony!
After seeing Morgan and Athena leave, Glerint said to Shirley without words:
"Miss Shirley, I would like to introduce you officially, my name is Glerin Mariano, and I am a Viscount of Rune. At the same time, I'm an extraordinary person myself, well, sequence eight. ”
"Now I want to hear your story. The focus is on your ...... Mom. ”
"I have to make sure I'm safe."
To be honest, it is indeed possible for Glerint to recruit such an entourage to provoke a "witch of pain".
But Shirley is really the best servant candidate for him!
She was born to be half an "assassin", and it would be easier to take the witch path, and with the help of "3-063", she has a special advantage in both promotion and mission.
And the witch path itself is also a relatively weird and terrifying sequence, which is a very effective supplement to his strength.
"My Story ......"
Shirley pursed her lips and raised her hand to pull the hair from her eyebrows behind her ears.
"As my name suggests, 'Shirley', the man from the meadows. The first place I was discovered was in the Hagati steppe to the south. I was adopted by an old shepherd lady whom I called 'Grandma Tate', and I didn't know who my real relatives were. ”
"Since I was a child, I have shown something different from other children in the village, with extraordinary dexterity and cat-like night vision, which makes it difficult for me to play with other children, but Grandma Tess still loves me very much."
"She's the only person I trust."
"But, but this was ruined by a man."
"Half a year ago, an outsider man broke into our village, and he took a fancy to me at a glance and wanted to buy me for a sum of money."
Grandma Tess disagreed, so he brutally killed Grandma Tess. Then he also took over my house and Grandma Tess in a grand manner, trying to take possession of me. ”
As she spoke, Shirley's delicate face unconsciously revealed a bit of fear and anger.
"I was so angry that my sanity was swallowed up by madness. So I took advantage of him to undress, picked up a lawn mower and slashed at his head......"
"After that, I was arrested by you."
The "Assassin" has the extraordinary ability to explode all his power in a single blow. Presumably, Shirley, who was occupied by despair and fear at that time, learned the "fatal blow" of the "assassin" without a teacher. And after killing someone, Shirley, who is completely inexperienced, must not care about disposing of the body, and it may be because of this that she was discovered and captured by MI9.
In this way, Shirley's "father" and mother are completely unable to pursue it!
It's a good thing, anyway, looking at Shirley's appearance, she has no intention of looking for her biological parents.
After all, with Glerint's current strength, if he really ran into Shirley's mother, he would not be able to beat him at all.
After a little more chat, Morgan finally came over with two paperwork and a made contract.
The contract was drawn up exactly according to the terms that Shirley and Glerint had just negotiated, and there were no problems. However, it was the liability document of the "Level 3 Seal Ritual Compensation" that made Gleilint hesitate a little.
This document, along with the "3-063" experiment log booklet, proves that he recruited and trained the Extraordinary's retinue!
If Morgan uses this as a threat in the future, it will still be a bit troublesome for him.
Although the royal family doesn't care too much about the nobles cultivating a middle-to-low-order extraordinary, this is not in accordance with the regulations after all, if this kind of thing is revealed, even if it is just to maintain the "regulations" on the surface, the royal family will definitely deal with him.
