Chapter 1154: 359. Contract guarantee?_2

Such an incredible act.

Wait, could it be the work of this Shadow Orb…

As Archelon read the soul contract book in his mind, he observed the orb that had sealed him.

This orb’s scholarly name was “Shadow Imprisoning Orb,” capable of locking down the target’s spell casting ability, which must include the function of suppressing the Magic Heart.

It might be this very Magic Orb that prevented his Magic Heart from affecting Mental Magic.

Archelon quietly noted this down.

He read through the soul contract book several times.

Seeing that the contract spelled out the terms “obedience in exchange for freedom,” Archelon felt greatly reassured.

At least until the termination of this soul contract book, he could preserve his soul.

“My Lord! I am willing to accept your contract! Please let me out so that I can sign it properly!” Archelon shouted towards the outside of the orb.

“Once you’re out, behave yourself.”

Noland Lee slapped and grabbed the orb with his right hand, pulling Archelon out of it and tossing him onto the ground.

Archelon staggered, his body battered and extremely weak, managing not to fallen shamefully to the ground only with the support of the bone staff he had summoned.

He glanced at the mysterious figure before him.

It was a humanoid species covered entirely in a black cloak.

Noland paid no attention to Archelon’s gaze.

He took out an ink pen and scroll, rapidly writing down the contract before tossing it to the other party.

Archelon caught the scroll, using his finger bone to dip into the blood plasma from his magic pouch and signed his name on it.

When it was Noland’s turn to sign, Archelon couldn’t help but attempt a stealthy peek.

A cold snort from Noland made Archelon shiver, then he became compliant.

After signing the names, the contract was established and split into two, each part entering the minds of Noland and Archelon.

From then on, Noland and this scheme-filled undead temporarily formed a cooperative relationship.

“Listen, go do what you must. Until the initiation ceremony tomorrow, you remain Demon Bone’s subordinate, the Assistant Priest in charge of the Soul Factory,” Noland said, lifting his right hand, his index finger raised as he spoke:

“During this period, you must carry out one task for me, and that is to gather information on those metal skeletons entwined with coils. Any actions they undertake with Demon Bone, report to me promptly.”

“Bodies… entwined with coils… metal skeletons?” Archelon recalled a moment:

“My Lord, are you referring to the Death Steel Soldiers from Outer Space?”

Archelon suddenly shuddered, his mind racing with many thoughts.

He seemed to understand what this mysterious person was here for!

The figure was very likely a hired wizard sent by the Pillar of Ley Lines to spy!

There had been cases in the past where hired wizards were discovered by the Undead Cult.

How does that saying go? When you find one cockroach in your house, there’s already a nest hidden away!
