711 Romantic times Part 1 (1/2)

”Okay fine, in order to make the people around Saleen have peace of mind, I will sign a contract.” Sharman still insisted on pulling Saleen's sleeves, following behind him all the way to the temple.

Saleen was very familiar with a follower's contract. In the presence of Isabella, both people signed the contract.

Sharman then asked, ”Brother Saleen, you made me a general, but where are the soldiers?”

Saleen could not help but cackle, then said, ”It's still too early, you have to at least become a true grand swordmaster and you need to be eighteen years old. You have to become a grade-1 mage who possesses a certain number of spells. Only then will I give you an army.”

Sharman was on the verge of crying, in a wronged tone, she said, ”Brother Saleen, were you having me on? I feel like I have been cheated!”

Saleen rubbed Sharman's golden hair and said, ”There is nothing hard about this, Isabella can teach you magic and it will not affect your swordsmanship training. If you want to lead an army, you can't be the only one who is powerful. After learning the memory spell and possessing sufficient magic chords, I will let you read a lot of war-type books and I will ask people to teach you the basics of war. How old are you now?”

”Fifteen.”

”You are a prodigy, can't you accomplish all of this in three years?”

”Is this for real? Will there be new requirements when that time comes?” Sharman's eyes flashed, she was trying to act coy with Saleen.

”Master, if she is not willing to do it, I will. I have a lot of energy.” Nailisi appeared silently, causing Sharman to be frightened and shut her mouth. Sharman stopped fooling around.

She had no confidence dealing with Nailisi.

”Nailisi, why are you here, weren't you at the port?”

”Sister Sika has something to tell you, she asked me to relay her message.” Nailisi stared at Sharman. Nailisi naturally harbored evil thoughts against this girl who dared act coy with her master.

”Master is mine, I will not share with other people. Mm, other than Sika…” Nailisi lamented in her heart, but she had excluded the winged skeleton. The winged skeleton and Master have a soul contract, it is too late to raise any objections. When I advance to grade-8 and all my abilities have been mastered, I will teach that fellow a lesson. A lesson every day.”

Other than Sika, anyone else who met Nailisi would be helpless. Saleen trusted and treated Nailisi very well. After this imp got cheated by Saleen, her future did not seem so bright anymore. If Saleen could not fulfill the one-thousand year promise, Nailisi's life would also be ruined.

The current Saleen was pretty lenient towards Nailisi and the winged skeleton.

”Okay then, I will listen to you, Brother Saleen.” Sharman became obedient in that instant. Nailisi then retracted her ruthless glare. Nailisi could empathize with Saleen's emotions, so she now had less misgivings compared to the past.

”Nailisi, tell me, what did Sika say?”

”Master, ask them to leave.” Nailisi pointed at Sharman and Isabella.

Sharman was still okay as she did not understand some rules, but Isabella was a little annoyed. Even though Nailisi was powerful, she was still Saleen's contract creature, while Isabella was Saleen's follower. In terms of status, Isabella's status was higher than Nailisi's, this fact was recognized by all mages.

Saleen also furrowed his brows, thinking if he had been too lenient with Nailisi.

”Nailisi, they are my followers, there is nothing to hide from them.”

”It's up to you, Sister Sika wants eight-hundred-thousand gold coins,” Nailisi said. Sika was at her wits' end already. After she began manufacturing the medicine, she discovered that six-hundred-thousand gold coins was insufficient. She required at least eight-hundred-thousand to one-million gold coins. She asked Nailisi to broach this topic with Saleen. Nailisi had listened in a couple of times when Saleen and Sika had intercourse.

Sika could push Saleen onto a bed forcefully, but she could not bear to demand money from Saleen.

”Eight-hundred-thousand gold coins?!” Saleen was astounded by this figure too. Lex had given him a huge sum of money, but it was for developing Huoxing City. The refurbishment of the three cities would cost a ton. Even though Saleen had his own ways of saving money, he still had to take care of the armies' equipment and ration distribution, he needed an astronomical sum of money. The monthly expenditure had helped Saleen save quite a bit of money, but most of his cash flow came from the operation of the arena.

”Why does she need all that gold?” Saleen did not want to probe, but the figure was too horrifying, so he had to know the reason.

Nailisi looked at Sharman and Isabella, then said, ”Sister Sika is trying to manufacture medicine.”

”What kind of medicine is it that it's worth spending so much money?!” Saleen got even more bewildered.

”Hmm, Sister Sika said that this medicine will help the both of you have children. She also said that…”
