Chapter 22 The contract between master and servant
On and off the porch, Donald stands opposite Huxley.
The former stood by the gate, and his body was shrouded in the light of the wall light. His eyes behind the golden mask stared at the old man in front of him, which was meaningful.
And in the shadow behind the door, Liluo, holding a long sword, said nothing.
Regarding Huxley, Donald initially thought he was a character similar to a personal bodyguard. After all, his identity was the housekeeper of Sevit Taros, and he was often inseparable from him, and his identity was also hidden enough.
However, with the series of arrangements this afternoon, Donald watched him handle all matters with ease, and knew everything about the situation within the Taros family and the current situation in Renas. He was even in the capital alliance, which should have been dominated by Sevit Taros.
Such things are not what an old housekeeper should have.
It would be fine if he was just talented in internal affairs, but this guy was still a peak awakening powerhouse!
As long as Huxley shows his talents, Donald believes that there will be a large number of people to recruit him, and it is not difficult to become a core member of the Taros family recently.
Why do such talents work under a useless man like Sevit Taros?
This conjecture made Donald, who originally planned to use Huxley as a thug, believe that this was a time bomb.
Huxley, standing outside the porch stairs, was also looking at Donald at this time. He also had his own opinion on the new "old master".
Almost a team of Thunder Taros on the long street is enough to prove the strength of the team he leads.
The meticulous plan during the attack and the step-by-step camp after the attack show that these people are not brave and unscrupulous. As he once said before Salazar, killing Servet and Salazar was just a prerequisite for their plan.
Not to mention that the new master is currently in control of his soul and resisting him will not only fail to achieve his goals, but will also be more likely to die here directly.
"I ask again, what do you want from him... now should I say that you get from me, wealth? strength?"
Seeing Huxley not replying for a long time, Donald narrowed his eyes and asked again,
"Now, I have to get your answer!"
The experience over the past two years has told Donald a truth he deeply believes in.
Hesitation will only put yourself in a passive situation.
Huxley must give him a reasonable explanation, otherwise he would never leave the time bomb with him.
"The truth, I need to know the truth that the Taros family has been hiding for more than twenty years."
Huxley noticed the murderous intent, and the girl behind the door who was still in decline even when she fought with Salazar made him feel great pressure. He hesitated for a moment and finally spoke,
"Only the head of the Taros family is qualified to know this truth. Sevit Taros is my best choice, of course, now it is you."
"What's the truth?"
"I don't know what it is, and because of this, I want to pursue it...I don't know if you are willing to reach a cooperative contract with me."
If it were someone else, Huxley would rather die than reveal these messages, but the person in front of him was different. He killed Thavete Taros with his own hands. To a certain extent, this made Huxley also have his handle. Although the situation on both sides is not equal at the moment, if it is really a fight to the death, Huxley will have his own trump card.
"It's interesting, let's talk about it."
Donald snapped his fingers, and a light-colored magic circle flashed in front of him, and then an invisible layer of power expanded outward, covering the surrounding environment.
Forbidden Silent Enchantment.
“The content of the contract is simple, I can do my best to help you take control of Renas and go higher in the future, and the reward I want is that when you have the ability to know that secret, you have to share it with me.”
Sevit Taros was the goal Huxley had chosen after thinking for a long time. He had finally improved a little bit. Now he was unable to accept that he had given up and turned to other heirs of the Taros family.
It is true that Huxley does have good talents, but this does not mean that he has enough time to be the confidant of other targets, let alone know through them that the Taros family has hidden so long.
"In recent years, I have handled most of the personal affairs of Sevit Taros. I can easily control those industries that are open and secret. I still hold the weaknesses of a considerable number of upper-class people in Renas, so that you will not have so much resistance when implementing your plan."
Huxley was undoubtedly a smart man. He could see that the other party wanted to kill him. Now it was the time for him to show his value. He raised his hand and held it out of thin air. A delicate rifle half a man tall appeared in his hand, and continued,
"I am a peak aggression level disciple. My talent is precision and energy collection. I can be competent for mid- and long-distance snipers and close-range fights!"
Donald was silent about this, as if waiting for something.
"Donald, he didn't lie to you."
Stephanie stepped out from behind the door and looked at Huxley with a smile on her face.
She didn't make a fruit platter at all, but kept listening to Huxley's conversation with Donald behind the door, and used her emotional talent to detect the psychological changes of the former.
Lilo stood in Huxley's sight with his sword, just a deliberate action of putting pressure on him.
"I have to admit that you convinced me that the contract was established!"
The other party even said his talents clearly and had shown enough sincerity. Donald didn't mind keeping his life temporarily. The current situation really requires someone to help him complete the transition.
"Thank you for your trust, Master Sevit."
He bowed to pay tribute, and the night wind blew, and Huxley realized that his back was soaked in cold sweat.
My new owner seems to be smarter than I think...
Back in his bedroom, Donald stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, looked at himself who had completely changed his appearance in the mirror, and raised his hand to take off the evil ghost mask.
Stephanie, who was standing behind him, covered her mouth, her eyes full of surprise, and even Lilo looked at the image in the mirror a few more times.
Servet Taros's appearance is not as fierce or ugly as Stephanie once guessed.
As the top aristocrat of the empire, his natural excellent genes destined that Sevit Taros would not grow into a crooked and scattered date.
The facts are contrary to the guess. Sevitt's appearance is very handsome, and the lines on his face are not as sharp as Donald originally, but have a gentle and delicate temperament. In addition, Sevitt's already thin figure, if other external factors are aside, such an image is really difficult to match the majesty and calmness.
But this is not the reason why Sevitt wears a mask. After all, as he is in Renas, no one can stop him from walking sideways. The real reason why he has to wear a mask no matter where he goes is because the characteristics on his face that should not belong to humans.
At about two fingers above the two eyebrows, there is an unknown mark formed by black strange patterns wrapped around them.
This strange mark occupied nearly half of Sevitt's forehead. When Donald saw this special existence on Sevitt's face in the house, he noticed it was not simple at first sight. Sevitt was wearing a mask all the time to cover up its existence.
But there were too many things to do at that time and I couldn't leave any time to check it out.
"Lilo, can you help me find out what information is about it?"
He nodded the mark on his forehead, and what it represents is something that Donald must find out, and the key to finding out is the soul of Sevit Taros in Lilo's hands.
"If you want to know the details, you must absorb fragments of his soul."
Lilo, who held Sewit's soul in his hand, responded in his mind.
“Is it a one-time thing?”
Absorbing external soul fragments is a very dangerous behavior. If it is a one-time, it means that the memories of Sevitt for more than 20 years will pour into Donald's mind in an instant, which can easily cause confusion in the original memory and damage to the original soul, with extremely serious consequences.
Speaking of which, Donald experienced this kind of thing when he first came to this world, but most of the soul fragments of his original body had been absorbed by Mineato at that time. Otherwise, Donald would not only remember who his parents were after he was reborn. In addition, his memory was completely blank. Even if it was only a small part of the soul fragments, it still caused Donald to experience intermittent memory retracement after that, causing him a lot of trouble.
It is precisely because of this that even though Donald's soul is already very powerful now, he is still very cautious about such things that are related to the soul.
"You are too weak. Swallowing at one time will cause soul damage. After breaking the soul, store the fragments and eat them one by one."
Lilo proposed a compromise solution.
"That's fine?"
This was the first time Donald heard of this method, and he was a little stunned for a moment.
"Others can't do it, I can!"
High-level undead are so confident in using their souls!
