Chapter 1139 Choices on the Extraordinary Road
Claire, who had recovered from his energy after sleeping all night in the morning, found that he seemed to be overly worried. Emma, as a "sister", had no intention of entering her room. Instead, there was a steaming breakfast on some kind of constant temperature magic on the dining table outside. In terms of the exquisiteness and richness of the breakfast, it was probably bought from outside.
"Do you need me to serve you to change your clothes? Master." Michelle, who had already brought a new set of clothes to Claire, asked in a humble manner as a maid.
"No."
Claire rejected Michelle's kindness. Although he knew that the other party was a demon, he had to say that the image of a pure and beautiful girl of similar age was really deceptive. He was not used to being watched by others and changing clothes, especially an outsider who was strictly female in the sense of being a female. After Michelle asked Michelle to stand by outside the door, Claire changed into clothes on his own. Before changing, he secretly used the power of gems to check to ensure that Michelle did not make any moves. This was considered too much by the Fallen Lord. Under the restrictions of the contract, Michelle did not dare to do anything that was unfavorable to Claire.
Of course, Claire also understands one thing. Although this slave contract almost limits all Michelle's actions to death and her power cannot be unilaterally terminated, it does not mean that the Fallen Lord cannot help her terminate it. Unfortunately, the difference between the soul contract and other contracts is that once the contract is signed, the second contract cannot be signed before the contract is terminated, otherwise Claire would rather let Michelle sign the soul contract, which has been absolutely safe.
While Claire was enjoying breakfast, Michelle stood aside with a respectful look and took over the water. After dinner, she immediately took on the job of cleaning up. Her skillful skills even made Claire doubt the devil's career also had the maid from time to time. Otherwise, how a demon who had never touched the main material plane learned to do housework.
After the meal, Claire immediately devoted himself to meditation on magic. As long as the fire of revenge in his heart has not yet been extinguished, Claire will never waste a minute or a second of time.
lt;Sometimes even I have to admit that hatred and revenge are always the best motivation to inspire mortals to move forward, and the flame of anger can make a person walk in the thorns regardless of all pain and hardship.gt;
“┉┉┉┉┉”
Claire in meditation did not say anything, but secretly signaled that the Fallen Lord would not disturb him. He was not dissatisfied with this radical and rude behavior, but quietly retreated aside. Taking advantage of the convenience of absorbing human souls to strengthen his mental power for the first time, Claire in meditation felt that his consciousness was unprecedentedly clear. Today, Claire was preparing to break through to the level 7 mage and officially reach the level 8 magic level.
The process of breaking through the magic level was long. At least it took Claire for nearly a day and was assisted by the power of gems. It was not until the afternoon was approaching dusk that Claire recovered from meditation. Although his whole body was weak and his mouth was dry and his limbs were a little stiff due to long-term sitting, Claire's spirit was very contradictory because he had reached the level 8 mage's magic level. What was left was the learning and application of theoretical knowledge. It was originally the most troublesome and brain-harm thing for mages, but it was the easiest thing for Claire.
After confirming Claire's sudden magic level, the Fallen Lord asked Michelle to send honey water and bring a towel to wipe Claire's sweat. During the period of Claire's meditation, Michelle kept standing outside the door and waiting motionlessly. To outsiders, this was simply a loyal maid.
If this is another aristocratic family, the character of Mixuela, coupled with her skillful housework skills and beauty, it will probably not take long to be loved by the head of the family and even marry her as a concubine, but unfortunately, it is not here.
Drinking honey water, looking at Michelle who was gently wiping her back, Claire couldn't help but ask with a sarcastic sense: "Does it take to be so dedicated to me? After I know your nature, do you think you can still confuse me by doing this?"
Michelle continued to wipe Claire's back without any effect, and replied in a weak and plain tone: "I'm sorry to make you think so~ Master! After all, now my life is in your hands. The reason I do this is because I want to continue to live, afraid of death, and afraid of ending, I work hard to serve you to please you in exchange for the possibility of survival. Now all I can do is this."
"What if I want you to die now?"
Mixuela was shocked and crawled on the ground, her tone could no longer remain calm and tremble: "┉Under the constraints of the contract, I cannot disobey any of your orders, but please don't do this by the master┉I don't want to die! Please~ Please give me a chance to prove myself, I will become your most loyal servant to prove that I have value to serve you, no matter what you want me to do, I just beg you not to end my life!"
Seeing the pitiful look of the girl crawling at her feet, Claire was also in a complicated mood for a moment. He was a slave who had suffered the pain of being enslaved since childhood. He gained freedom and lived with dignity as an ordinary person. At the same time, he worked hard to save more enslaved people. It was his wish since childhood and it was also the teachings of the orc Longga to him. But now he is like a slave owner to enslave others. Although the object is an evil and terrible demon, it is really a bit ┉┉
The fallen master Belismi notes Claire knows the boy's struggle. He has not completely abandoned his innocence and conscience. He just suppressed all the weak and strong thoughts deep in his heart because of the fire of revenge. Sometimes these weak thoughts will become fatal weaknesses.
As the fallen master in the abyss, Belismi does not allow such a thing to happen to his contractor, and even if it happens, it will have to be after he has no value to use.
lt;One thing to remember for my contractor, never believe in the tears of the demon!gt;
Belismi's inducing voice sounded again in Claire's mind.
lt;Now she is your servant, a slave, and a tool in your hand. Don’t pour feelings into the demon Claire, you just need to regard her as an object to use it. Whether it is a sharp knife for killing, or a toy for venting desires, is your freedom.gt;
"It doesn't matter what you do? As long as I'm happy."
lt;Yes! My contractor, even if you feel tired of it in the future, it doesn't matter. In the abyss, there are many such demons.gt;
Claire couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Although the demon is chaotic and evil, it's the same clan"
lt;We are not the same clan, but are all incarnations of desire. There is nothing more important to us than satisfying our own desires. The demons in the void have condensed the sinful souls of the creatures. We do not have the concept of so-called bloodlines for each other. Everything except ourselves is food and tools.gt;
"I am a human!"
lt;Humans are the same. In addition to themselves, except for their own blood relatives, their own people, and their own country, for humans, they have only expanded this scale a little. The reason for this is because humans themselves are weak and cannot survive with only one person. In order to survive, in order to strengthen themselves, humans can only choose to join together to keep warm and coordinate their desires and interests, but the demons are different. We only need one person to survive, and as long as we can plunder, we can continue to strengthen ourselves.gt;
"┉So what you mean is that as a human being, I must also join in groups, right?"
lt;Yes! The collective power is better than the single. Even as a demon, we have to admit that this principle is correct. Whether it is already merciful and dominant, if you have achieved obsession, you will definitely need some easy-to-use tools such as "friends" and "companies".gt;
Claire was silent for a while and finally did not answer this question. After a moment, Claire ordered Michelle, who had been kneeling on the ground, to leave, dragging her tired body on the bed and continued to look at the magic book. At some point, Claire found that he had developed this habit. Whenever he felt upset and doubt, only the flame of revenge and desperate learning could gradually calm himself down. Claire knew something very well. The fallen master was trying to abandon human nature and become a real demon. In fact, he was not very disgusted with this. In order to avenge his revenge, he had long had the awareness of abandoning everything to transform into a demon and a monster, but he would not allow himself to even destroy human nature and become a demon from the inside out.
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
Some people do not want their body and soul to transform into demons, but on the other side, His Highness, who also embarked on the path of extraordinary people because of the adventure of fate, did not mind that he would become a demon at all. The only thing he longed for was not to become a burden on his brother but to become a good card in his brother's hands. For this reason, it doesn't matter if he lost the hearts and hearts of the people.
The soul is the source of its own strength!
In the private dormitory on the uppermost floor of the Saxony Kingdom's Persati Family Chamber of Commerce, Selyn Blanis, the princess of the Carlsem Empire who locked the door firmly, stared at the weird mask in her hand with irrepressible excitement.
Soul-Devouring Mask! A powerful gift from the remnant thoughts of a powerful devil from ancient times!
Devouring the souls ingested and imprisoned in the mask to strengthen themselves, not just to temper their mental power. When devouring these souls, they can learn some memories of their lives. It is like when Selin just swallowing the souls, and in this short moment, Selin recorded many awkward spells and learned how to draw some simple magic circles to assist in casting. Not only did the mage's soul greatly improve his mental power, just like a dry land that welcomed the moist raindrops, making his spirit clearer now than before.
The basic magic theory that might have taken several months of systematic learning to learn in an instant is a bit incomplete, but it is absolutely fine to cast the spell after correction. For Selin, the Soul-Devouring Mask is like the devil's residual thoughts say, it is simply a magical tool specially prepared for him!
