Chapter Twenty-Five: Boss Locke
"You, how can you have such strength, this is not at all what Thomas said that kid. β
The masked thief forced a mouthful of blood in his throat and said in a harsh tone, his words full of disbelief.
Staring at the meat on the chopping board in front of him, Butian's tone was playful, full of yin and yang: "No, no, no, Thomas's kid is right." A few days ago, I really didn't have the strength I have now. But it just so happens that my strength has broken through recently, and if you want to blame, you can only blame you for not having long eyes, and you hit the knife edge yourself. β
Such playful words made the masked thief tremble with anger, and a mouthful of blood that had suppressed the old man for a long time spurted out, and he tore off the masked black scarf with difficulty, revealing a face as thin as skin and bones.
A pair of eyes sunken into the sockets stared at Butian, the masked thief was still a little unwilling, and said with blood in his mouth: "Even if you break through to level 2, your strength will not be so strong." With my strength, there are very few people in my rank who can defeat me without using any skills. β
Butian's expression was indifferent, he didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, and said casually: "I'm not interested in discussing this with you, if you only talk some nonsense, then I think you don't have any reason to live." β
"No, wait, don't you want to know how I found you? I know Locke has defected with you, but there are many things he doesn't know. I know more than he does. β
The masked thief panicked a little and said in a hurried tone.
Sneered, Bu Tian looked at this guy with disdain, and then said in a good time: "I'm not interested in knowing, and I don't want to know." If it's just you, then I don't care how many people come. Are you done with your last words? β
As soon as the words fell, Bu Tian raised his foot and kicked over, looking at the sharp Cheng dΓΉ of this blow, there was no possibility of leaving his hand at all. If you kick it, with the brutal force of Butian, the opponent will die.
"No, no, I can follow you and be your servant, just like Locke......," the thin-faced thief struggled to get up, begging for mercy even more.
"Master, wait. Locke watched from the side for a long time, and then hurriedly stopped him.
"Huh?"
The soles of Butian's feet slammed into the air, less than an inch from the masked thief's chest. Although this sharp blow paused, the majestic leg momentum also caused the masked thief to spurt out a mouthful of blood again, and his breath suddenly withered, obviously adding to injury.
Slowly retracting the soles of his feet, Bu Tian looked at Locke with a puzzled expression, and the masked thief took advantage of this and hurriedly crawled back some distance with a snort, his face was full of the look of the rest of his life, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Master, we don't know how many thieves alliance eyes around us, the enemy is dark and I am clear, which makes us only passive. But now, we have a good opportunity to change from passive to active, at least not to be blind and not know anything. β
Locke took a few steps forward, lowered his head and whispered in Butian's ear.
Hearing this, Butian already understood what Locke meant. He patted Locke on the shoulder, signaling that he understood. Then he turned his head to stare at the frightened masked thief on the ground, and said in a calm tone, "You want to be my servant?
Butian has this question, and it is also reasonable.
After all, the master-servant contract of the dark arts is not a common thing for the general public. According to Locke's detailed description, this kind of thing can be regarded as a precious thing even in some middle dynasties, and often appears in some auctions, and fetches a high price of hundreds of gold karats.
And Locke's dark magic master-servant contract was obtained from an ancient ruin when he completed a mission. I wanted to keep it and find a suitable time to sell it for a huge amount of money, but I didn't expect it to become a talisman for my life in the end.
"IβI don't have that kind of expensive item. The masked thief spoke in a submissive tone.
"Oh~ So, are you playing with me? Do you think becoming my servant is just a matter of one word? Do you treat others as pigs, or are you yourself a pig?" Butian was a little angry, and his tone was even more unkind, and the murderous intent in his eyes reappeared.
Seeing this scene, the masked thief's thin face was bitter, and it seemed that he found it difficult to convince the other party. But he was not reconciled, he had to make one last effort.
As a low-level 2 Shadow Thief, he didn't want to die yet, and after he had great strength, he cherished his life more than before.
Gritting his teeth, the masked thief struggled to get up, knelt on the ground, put his head on the ground, and his attitude was extremely sincere: "Your Excellency." I, Ivan 61 Stewart, a low-level 2 shadow thief, swear by my faith in Hercasius, the god of shadows.
I am willing to accept your Excellency as Lord, and if I do anything against my master's will, I will suffer the pain of ten thousand demons.
If anyone desires to murder his master, I will defend him to the death.
If I break this oath, I will be cast away by the glory of the God of Shadows, and I will perish forever.
Blood is the cause, and scarring is the effect. Hercasius, the great god of shadows, bears witness to this oath. β
With a thud, the masked thief's right hand slashed across his left wrist, and a faint red light appeared, and the skin of his left wrist was cut by sharp nails, and blood flowed out instantly.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Bu Tian couldn't help but be a little funny.
With such a simple rhetoric, you can gain your trust with a little self-harm? How is this possible? Bu Tian opened his mouth and was about to refuse, but suddenly heard a system prompt.
"Ding"
"System prompt: Ivan 61 Stewart, I want to recognize you as Lord and become your most faithful servant. Do you agree?"
After being stunned for a moment, Bu Tian frowned and looked at the system prompt that suddenly appeared, and after hesitating for a while, he chose to agree.
"Ding"
"System prompt: Harvest minions, Ivan 61 Stewart. Open the character attributes bar to view existing minion attributes. β
After hesitating for a moment, Butian opened the attribute bar and clicked to enter the minion interface.
What catches your eye is Ivan's personal attributes. And the number of servants originally owned has become 2, that is, the three servant quotas of Butian are left, and only the last one remains.
"Minions: Ivan 61 Stewart.Loyalty: 50.Race: Human.Faction: Darkness
Attributes: Strength.16.Sensitivity.22.Constitution.14.Spirit.8.Energy.17/20
Class: Shadow Thief (Low Rank).Faith: Hercasius, God of Shadows.Level: Level 2
Physical condition: 56% of injuries were seriously injured
After only a slight look at Ivan's basic attributes, Butian was too lazy to look at it.
This guy's strength is too vegetable, and his basic attributes are also sensitive, and his skills are only a little higher than Locke's mastery. And the garbage Cheng dΓΉ of its equipment is also within Butian's expectations, and I really can't arouse interest in taking a second look.
"The hosts. Seeing that Butian didn't mean to embarrass him for a long time, Ivan thought that his refuge had been agreed by the other party, so he shouted tentatively.
"Well, get up. You are just beginning to recognize me as Lord, and your faithfulness remains to be seen. If you have any bad thoughts, hehe......"
Glancing at Ivan casually, Bu Tian said with a sneer.
"Rest assured, master, I swear by my faith, and if I violate it, I will not die well. Seeing that the other party really agreed, Ivan hurriedly seized the opportunity to hit the snake with a stick, staggered up from the ground, and said with an excited expression and a swear.
"Okay, I swear by what kind of Rausch you are, you are now my servant, and you must have the consciousness of being a servant. β
Butian waved his hand impatiently to stop the other party's verbosity, and then pointed to Locke beside him, and said flatly: "This is Locke, you should also know it." In the future, he will be your boss, you are new, if there is anything you don't understand, ask Locke, you know?"
Locke and Ivan were dumbfounded at the same time.
"Hmm, you don't agree?" Butian suddenly turned cold, frowned and looked at Ivan who was in a daze.
"Ahh Agreed, master, I agree with your decision from the tips of my hair to the tips of my toes. Being stared at by Butian's gloomy eyes, Ivan felt a chill in his heart, and reacted in an instant, and quickly nodded with a smile.
"Boss, Locke, little brother Ivan, I will have to thank the boss for more care in the future. If there is anything that is not done well, please ask the boss to point it out, and the younger brother will definitely do it. β
Ivan's steps were wrong, as if he was not injured in the slightest, and his movements moved sensitively close to Locke's side, and there was another burst of flattery.
Looking at the smiling skeletal face in front of him, Locke was speechless for a while, and he really didn't know what to say.
This is a low-level 2-level powerhouse, his strength is even one level higher than him, and he can grovel so much. It's really impressive, it's a character.
At that moment, Locke also honestly and unceremoniously posed as the boss, patted Ivan on the shoulder, and the two smiled together and greeted each other.
It is nothing more than doing things beside the master, taking care of each other, serving the master, and other generous words.
The intimate appearance is like a brother who has been separated for many years, and he almost hugged his head and cried.
Seeing that the two of them looked friendly and got along well, Bu Tian also felt a little funny about his bad taste.
Unexpectedly, Ivan, whose strength had reached the low-level 2, thought that the strength was only the low-level 1-level Locke as the boss, and Butian chuckled and shook his head.
In fact, this is not his whim. One is that Ivan has just recognized him as the master, and his loyalty is not high enough, so he needs to be observed and guarded. And it was only fitting that Locke should be the overseer.
And in the future, his strength will only get stronger and stronger, and a weak strength like Locke will only open a bigger gap with him in the future.
After all, Locke was the first to follow him, and he had already formed a friendship, and he also had some brains. Butian asked Locke to be the boss, but also to test his royal means and cultivate him well.
Even if he can't become a powerful thief in the future, it's nice to be a staff member who advises him.
