Chapter 150 - Slave (2/2)
”!!!” Shella opened her mouth and fell silent for a while. After that, she clapped her hand and formed a four-winged symbol with a big eye in the middle together. However, the eye suddenly detached itself and flew to Albert's palm while the rest of the symbol was planted on the back of her skull.
”Shella?”
”I have been researching a way to stop the lust. It seems that one of the ways to stop lust is the slave contract, but it's just a failure. There are three types of slave contracts. First, the slave is requesting to become a slave with a certain condition. Second, the slave is willing to accept you as their master without any condition. Third, self slaving, which means the slave brands themselves as your slave.
”The difference between the second and third is that the second one needs the master's permission while the third one doesn't. However, the third one means that the contract is unbreakable. Once you become a slave, you will be a slave for the rest of your life.
”As for the first one, it's the normal contract for slave traders.” Shella looked at Albert and stated, ”Milord… No, Master. Shella is willing to be your slave.”
”Huh, Shella? What's wrong with you?” Albert raised his eyebrows. ”Is there any reason for you to be my slave?”
”I have died once, and my time is limited in this world. I have realized that what Milord is trying to share is your biggest secret. This is also a goal of mine, but more importantly, I believe that Master is the one that I have been searching for.
”Since Master wishes to open this secret, I will naturally benefit from it and can improve my research even further. Hence, I will use the rest of my time to serve you. After all, the moment I finish my research, I won't be able to stay in this world any longer.”
Shella didn't have feet, so she lowered her head as much as possible. ”Shella greets her master.”
Albert's expression became serious, not knowing how the situation turned from 0 to 100 with just this secret. He knew that slaves had more binding power than subordinates. This meant she swore to never betray him for the rest of her life.
He took a deep breath and nodded. ”I understand. I'll be in your care, Shella.”
”Yes, Master.”
Albert then summoned his Bonk Bat and handed it to her. ”Can you check this then?”
Shella received the Bonk Bat and scanned it before opening her mouth in terror. ”This is… What is this… I have never seen something like this. The Bonk Bat is actually holding a tremendous amount of power?
”With this kind of power, you will be able to use a 9-Star Spell if you wish for it.”
Albert smiled, expecting this answer. After all, with the difference between the 1-Star and 4-Star Spell, he thought a single use of 9-Star Spell would be possible with 3000 Bonk Bites.
”Don't tell me. Has Master been using this power to release all your spells? I still don't understand how this works. This is only Master's power since it's obvious you've granted it to us. But our Bonk Bats are different from you.
”And I believe that this Bonk Bat is connected to you since you can use the Space Ability to summon and recall it.”
Albert smiled and glanced at the dark sky. ”It's going to be a long night. I will tell you about it while we rest here. We will go inside the forest tomorrow.”
”Understood.”
