376 Is It Fun? (1/2)
It was already evening when Roland returned to the Magic Tower.
Andonara was lying in Roland's study, a dozen fat bats hanging on the ceiling.
It was a weird scene from any perspective.
Seeing him, Andonara held her head with one of her hands and lifted her collar with the other. She said with a smile, ”Welcome back. You must be hungry. Would you like some freshly-made strawberry cake?”
Well… Roland raised his head and looked at the dozen bats on the ceiling.
At this point, all the bats were awake. They were staring at Andonara and Roland curiously.
Roland couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Chuckling, Andonara jumped off from the bed and grabbed Roland's arm. She said happily, ”I'm about to sign the contract with her. Watch out for me.”
”Sure.”
Roland smiled and summoned his magic array. On the floor of the study, a bright green magic circle popped up. Though Roland spent most of his time on Enlivening in the past year, he did study the contractual magic in his spare time. He had learned what he should know, and he was capable of using it now.
Looking at the bright green magic circle, the tiny bats flew down and gathered into a girl at the servant's position in the circle.
Though Christina hadn't drank blood for a while, she could subsist on fruit and cooked meat and gradually recovered.
Half a year was enough for her to turn back to a teenager from a little girl.
As a teenager, she was slightly more nonchalant than before and not as cute as when she was a little girl.
In the servant's position, Christina asked regretfully, ”Can't you trust me? We've been together for half a year.”
Roland chuckled and said, ”Some people can't be seen through even after a whole lifetime.”
Christina glanced at him and asked, ”What about Anna? I've asked her. You completely trusted her no more than one month after you knew her.”
”Do you think you're the same as her?” snapped Roland.
Andonara was so delighted that she felt her heart melting when she heard that.
Christina was rather devastated, but she remained obedient and didn't complain.
Andonara stood at the master's position.
Once they were in position, the magic circle glittered with dazzling green light, and they began to absorb the green light around them.
Soon, the magic circle dimmed and disappeared.
Andonara looked at the center of her palm and found the pattern of a fat fruit bat. Closing her eyes, she sensed it for a while, only to exclaim in shock, ”I think I can use dark magic power now.”
She waved her hand, and a black wind blew out of the window. Though it caused no damage, it was undoubtedly dark magic power.
”Am I not a descendant of the Hero?” Andonara was confused. ”Aren't evil powers naturally suppressed by us? Why can I use dark magic?”
Seeing the flame, Christina subconsciously stepped back.
By completing the mastership contract, the master could learn one of the servant's abilities randomly. The effect and power of the ability would be based on the servant's strength.
Thinking for a moment, Roland said, ”I remember that the soul fragment of Diablo said that Phoenix, your ancestor, was one of the kings of the Realm of Devils.”
”That's not possible,” Andonara said. ”Don't you think that's just something the soul fragment said to mess with our heads?”
So you never believed that?
But Roland didn't think that the soul fragment was lying.
If Phoenix was, in fact, a Devil King, the truth of the Hero's power could be more complicated than it seemed.
