Chapter 1102 - 821: Another Contract?_2

"I’m sorry, Master."

Liz’s eyes brimmed with tears.

Seeing this, Reiger’s anger vanished instantly, his heart softened, and the calm on his face turned to helplessness.

"You, don’t you know what kind of person I am?"

Reiger reached out and patted Liz’s head.

"You should know, I never really considered you as an attendant. This so-called servant contract can be annulled at any time. If you wish, I don’t mind doing it."

"But, it must never be because of someone else’s coercion or threats."

"Even if we are to dissolve our contract, it must be with mutual consent, not because of any other factors. Understand?"

Reiger looked directly at Liz’s close-up pretty face and spoke word by word.

"If you’re planning to annul the contract just to avoid entangling me, or to keep me safe, then I must say, I won’t agree."

For magic contracts like a servant contract, which is relatively egalitarian, there are generally only three ways to nullify them.

First, both parties have fulfilled the promises they made at the start of the contract.

For instance, in a case where the contract’s content is something like "I serve you for years, you help me achieve a wish," when the years of service promised at the contract’s inception and the attendant’s wish is fulfilled, the contract ends. Naturally, it will dissolve.

Second, one party reneges, breaking the contract.

In this case, the contract will not only end immediately, but the party who broke the contract will also face punishment and pay a price, hence this is seldom chosen.

As for third, that’s when both parties, after negotiation and mutual agreement, decide to annul the contract.

Even if the contract’s content has not been fully executed or realized, as long as both parties agree to the annulment, it will be dissolved.

This is the typical way to terminate a servant contract.

Of course, there are special means to forcibly annul a servant contract under atypical circumstances.

For instance, Ellie intended to use the Demon God’s Blessing’s counter-magic effect to forcibly dissolve the contract between Reiger and Liz.

The Demon God’s Blessing is an ancient secret treasure comparable to a world-class item, powerful enough to forcibly annul contract magic.

Moreover, if a magician’s power greatly exceeds that of the servant contract itself, he could also forcibly dissolve it with his power.

This method is naturally unsuitable for Reiger and Liz.

After all, the contract document they used to establish the servant contract is the highest-grade magic tool of the era.

Almost no one on the continent of Akasha can forcibly dissolve such a high-level contract.

Even in the Hidden Land, according to Reiger’s estimations, unless one specializes in interference magic with an aptitude above level seven and strength comparable to a Level 9 superb magician, it’s impossible to forcibly annul the highest-level servant contract.

The servant contract is already the most stable, powerful, and robust type among all contract magic; ordinary means are utterly ineffective against it.

Under such circumstances, as long as Reiger disagrees with annulling the contract, Liz, with her current ability, can absolutely not annul it by herself.

"Unless you head to the Hidden Land and let those so-called priests help you annul the contract unilaterally without my consent."

Reiger looked into Liz’s eyes with meaning implied.

"If you’re determined to annul the contract even at such lengths, then fine, I’ll pretend I never had you as an attendant."

These words are indeed heavy for the little princess.

"I’m sorry! Master! I dare not say such things again in the future!"

Instantly, the little princess’s beautiful face turned pale, and she hugged Reiger tightly, pleading.

"You said it." Reiger naturally was intentionally scaring Liz; seeing her throw herself at him, he smiled slightly, patted her head, and said: "When all this is over, if you still wish to dissolve the servant contract, I’ll oblige."

"But if it’s due to pressure from the Hidden Land, then don’t mention it."

"We’ll take a trip to the Hidden Land this way."

"I’d like to see what that so-called temple can do with me."

Reiger was quite confident in this regard and didn’t feel like he was bragging.

Joking—having single-handedly defeated the combined forces of the Zeus Clan and Hera Clan, two thousand-year-old factions, he’s not afraid of an ancient magical civilization’s inheritance site?

Note that compared to the aura of that black dragon and the one at the ancient ruins under Reinnaier, they’re not much different. The ancient magic civilization couldn’t subdue that dragon king, only seal it. Reiger doesn’t believe the Hidden Land’s power could surpass the ancient civilization before its extinction.

Even if it did surpass, Reiger wouldn’t be afraid but rather delighted.

Because that’s exciting, isn’t it?

"Master..."

Seeing Reiger’s mouth inadvertently curve, as if thinking of something pleasant, Liz was momentarily dazed.

She found herself particularly fond of seeing her master with that expression, as if any great matter was merely an inevitable hurdle he would overcome, as if it was no big deal.

Seeing Reiger like this, Liz’s apprehension and unease disappeared imperceptibly.

This made Liz hug Reiger tightly, relentlessly.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Liz was stunned.

It seemed as if something bumped into her body.

"Master?"

The little princess looked at Reiger incredulously, completely unaware of the allure her appearance posed to Reiger.

"Liz."

Reiger squinted his eyes and suddenly smiled.

"Actually, the servant contract, I never cared about it." Reiger laughed: "Why don’t we establish another contract?"

"Another contract?" Liz said dazedly: "What kind of contract?"

What kind of contract indeed?

Soon, Liz found out.

"?"

Left to one side, Yuloli Ba blinked, feeling a bit puzzled, yet curious too.

She was destined to be a witness to the new relationship between Reiger and Liz, possibly even a participant...

...

Meanwhile, in the royal chamber of Solok Jinas, the third prince of the Jinas Kingdom.

Inside Solok’s room, Lilith had been staring at him for a long time.

Yet the more she looked, the more Lilith felt something was off.

Not just faintly sensing a difference in life form and even the soul itself from ordinary people.

As time passed, seeing Solok still gazing blankly ahead like a puppet, that tiny uncomfortable feeling in Lilith’s heart finally erupted.

"This person, there’s something wrong."

Lilith made such a firm judgment.

Thus, Lilith decided to take another course of action.

"Whoosh!"

The voluptuous female demon suddenly appeared in front of Solok, her eyes lit up with a red glow.

"[Human Enchantment]."

Lilith also knew the magic of spiritual manipulation.

As an expert at toying with life and souls, Lilith’s expertise in spiritual manipulation magic might be higher than any other type of magic.

Hence, at this moment, the charm magic Lilith cast was nearly as potent as that cast by Reiger, enough to influence a Sword Saint level existence.

But as Lilith cast the enchantment magic on Solok, Solok, who originally had vacant eyes and was numb like a puppet, moved without any prelude.

He abruptly raised his head, completely ignoring Lilith’s charm magic, and charged at her.

His speed, as fast as lightning.

His movement, silent as the night.

This was simply not a movement a human should have.

"Sure enough, something’s wrong!"

Lilith was not alarmed but delighted, and her face revealed a captivating smile.
