Chapter 363 - Deal (2/2)
[I'll look forwards to it]
Mercury nodded then he walked back towards the temple along with Party and kissed her goodbye before the avatar floated back into the temple, then he walked back towards the lord's mansion alone where he found the group had been gathered, only something had changed since he was there last, there was a new corpse on the ground, Mercury sighed before he asked the dragon spirit
”Did you have to do that?”
[AHAHAHAHA, she attacked me first, I only retaliated a little? It's not my fault she was so fragile?]
Mercury sighed and looked down at the corpse of the young royal guard Jenny, then he sighed again and walked over to the rest of the group, then he turned to the dragon spirit and spoke
”Don't make me regret having made this deal with you now”
[Fine, fine… Are you ready?]
Mercury confined with the others before he turned to the dragon spirit and nodded, then the formation under them lit up at once before they all disappeared from view along with a flash of light…
A few days passed from that, the group safely arrived back in Juliantia, of course, they had a new 'companion' along with them, the dragon spirit had turned into a tiny dragon from and could be found circling around Mercury most of the time as they worked out the details of its body, firstly Mercury learned that it was in fact female, secondly, he learned its name which was Qutil and thirdly he learned why it had given up its mortal flesh in the first place
[My life was coming to an end anyway, but I still had regrets so I converted my soul to what it is now, then I made a deal with the former administrator then it died and was replaced voiding a part of the divine contract which fed me information of Alfan… Then I went insane from boredom AHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!]
”Would you quiet it down? It's 3 AM”
[NO I'LL BE AS LOUD AS I WANT TO!]
Mercury sighed, luckily there was no one around to wake up as the two of them currently found themselves under the island of Juliantia, Mercury was hunting metal ore around 5 kilometers down and had gathered quite a lot of essence by now
”This should be enough for now… Let's head back, I have classes in the morning to think of too”
[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I HATE SCHOOL!!!]
”Jesus Christ, would you stop yelling all the time?”
[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA---]
”FINE, SEE I CAN YELL TOO!]
[AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!]
Mercury sighed, the dragon spirit was definitely mental, that's for sure, though he didn't really hate its company, it was like having a hyperactive retarded dog around
”---And thereby you use chantless magic, questions?”
A sea of hands went up, Mercury looked around before he picked out a random person and pointed to them
”Yes you”
”What's that smoke dragon circling around you?”
”...I meant questions about the class”
”So you won't answer?”
”I have just invented a right to keep silent”
”Tch…”
Mercury sighed, he had been bombarded about questions of the dragon spirit which he had gotten to promise to keep quiet while he taught the class, still, the students kept asking about it, Mercury sighed once more before he pointed to another student that thankfully asked him a question about the class, time passed like this until the school day was over and Mercury made his way back to the castle on foot while the dragon spirit spoke with him and everyone that would listen around them
[AHAHAHAHAHAHA, Look Merucry a person!]
”There are literally hundreds of people around, what's so special about her?”
[She's lazed with concealed killing intent towards you!]
Mercury sighed and kept walking, this was the 2nd person that had been 'lazed with concealed killing intent' towards him, he had talked with the first person and it turned out to just be a joke by the dragon spirit
[Hey don't pout, that was a good joke, no? AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!]
”Why do you always have to make jokes about me dying or being in mortal danger?”
[Come on Mercury loosen up a bit, it's only fun AHAHAHAHAH]
Mercury sighed once more, soon he arrived at the castle and walked downstairs to the underground laboratory that was being built out, this was were he would make the new body for the dragon spirit, he wasn't entirely confident, but felt that it was doable over the time period he had available
