281 Saleen’s Contract Part 2 (2/2)

Saleen chuckled. He did not care whether he needed to give one hundred books or seventy-two books. After a long conversation, Saleen had realized that these spirits were not foreign to the human plane, but this was the first time they had arrived onto the Myers Mainland. Therefore, in the past, they must have interacted with a human for an extremely long period of time.

Even though the rest of the mages were busy, they no longer needed to deal with the lightning dragon, so all of them were very relaxed. It was not a bad thing to be serving the three spirit kings. Creatures from the death dimension were much easier to live with compared to those from other planes, and that was the reason why humans preferred summoning spirits.

There was just too much risk in summoning creatures from the other planes.

Even though the bodies of the three kings had been slightly shortened after coming onto the Myers Mainland, they still had giant frames of over eight meters. At such a height, they could already peer into the second story of a magic tower.

Fortunately, spirits were not particular about comfort. The mages used magic to clear a piece of land before constructing a simple house on it. As mechanical puppets hammered the stakes, steel nails about half a feet long were wedged into the wood. Blinding sparks appeared with every strike.

The dull hammering sounds spread across a huge distance. When Diyabannersa heard these sounds, he knew that the mages were building a house, so he felt very satisfied.

Saleen knew how to behave in this delicate situation, as he knew that he could not use any form of status to command the kings. That was sufficient already. As for the deal, Diyabannersa did not care about whatever equipment or materials were used. For example, the ubiquitous bloodstone in the death dimension could be used to produce disposable magic equipment, such as scrolls, but they were far stronger than scrolls because a mage could utilize a magic array to stimulate the spell which was stored within a bloodstone.

This was akin to violating the rules. However, a bloodstone was formed when a normal rock was fused with a dying spirit, so a bloodstone itself already contained the power of a spirit.

Nailisi sat beside Saleen obediently and did not say anything. She was very confident of her ultimate shapeshifting spell. Even though the three kings possessed the ability to gaze into a soul, they would not be able to tell that she was not human.

Seventy-two magic books in exchange for a set of equipment which could defend against the elf of fire elements' attacks was very worthwhile. It could even be said that the spirits were losing out in this deal. Saleen did not bargain anymore, because in the death dimension, such equipment was not valuable. Otherwise, the death dimension would not have been able to resist the invasion by the abyssal plane.

As the moon rose, its silver moonlight shone against the river, giving out an enchanting glow.

Judikaka gazed at the scenery, and commended, ”Humans are so fortunate to be able to live in such a world.”

”How is this plane good? If you have lived here long enough, you will realize that it is no different from the death dimension. There is no planar invasion in the Myers Mainland, but humans will fight among themselves, causing even more fatalities.”

”You all can continue with the conversation. I am not interested.” Diyabannersa glanced at Saleen before standing up and leaving. He was going to rest in the big but crude house which the mages from Sregl Island had built.

Saleen did not mind that Diyabannersa was leaving. Anyway, Diyabannersa was not inclined to talking, so he was contented to be able to chat with Judikaka alone. The two people shared a great chemistry and they did not mention anything about Daniel being able to command the three kings. Saleen had even implicitly declared to Judikaka that from now on, the three kings would only negotiate with him.

Judikaka was very satisfied. If Daniel commanded them, they had the option of refusing without being punished by the contract. The only concern was that Daniel would go around boasting, and that would create trouble.

Judikaka did not know that there was only one god who was being worshipped on the Myers Mainland at this moment, and the followers of this god were trying to burn Daniel alive. Of course Daniel would not go and tell the Holy See's people about the spirits.

”Saleen, it would be great if you were a spirit!” Judikaka's words caused Saleen to be taken aback.

”Most spirits don't understand what I am saying. They will only obey my commands to die or live.” Judikaka extended his several-meter-long arm. On his arm, there were strange blue magic patterns which swirled about under the moonlight.

Saleen's icy sight had been activated all this while. At this point in time, he saw that the blue magic patterns were absorbing the energy from this world.

Something was amiss. Summoned spirits had to rely on the death mage's death flames in order to continue absorbing energy from the death dimension. On the Myers Mainland, spirits who had left the mage would gradually weaken and their souls would eventually dissipate.

The existence of these three kings was definitely related to a human!

A notion emerged in Saleen's mind. Out of the blue, Saleen said to Judikaka, ”How about we sign one more contract?”
