Chapter 397 Contract

Greeuely sensed the abnormality in the forest spirit's abdomen with the help of the chip's three-dimensional projection

The forest spirit had behaved in a cowardly fashion in the fight earlier

Greeht of her performance as a reflection of her true nature It was only now that he understood that she had just wanted to protect the child in her That hy she didn't dare to fight as aggressively as she usually would

Greem looked at the black cat in his hand, then looked at the anxious Eva and the dejected Gargamel For a moment, he couldn't come to a decision

Should he kill them all, or should he use the black cat and force them to serve him for a period of time?

Greem decided after three seconds of hesitation

"Serve o!"

The forest spirit's eyes gleaaainst your word?"

Clearly, as an adept, Gargareedy and sinister nature of adepts very well He was such a person hin a fair contract of service The power of the contract will enforce all the terhed coldly, "You had bestto stall for tia words, but he insisted determinedly, "We can serve you for thirty years, but you cannot do anything to our child"

Eva, the forest spirit, had just realized this problem She stared at Greeue in pity

He was very curious about the 'product' between an adept and a retfully let it slide for the sake of his future

He didn't intend to stay in the Sarubo Clan forever If the ti were ripe, he would raise his banner and leave the Sarubo Clan To ensure that this became a possibility, Greem needed to have a hidden batch of subordinates that would serve him behind the back of the Sarubo

It was for this faraway ideal that Greem had made sure to befriend Mary and Alice He needed theh Meryl also seemed to be close to him, she was still a Sarubo Clan adept Whether she would be willing to follow him once he left the clan, or not, was still an unknown variable

After all, on the one hand, you had a mid-sized adept clan that was reasonably famous in the Zhentariroup with little forces and limited resources It was clear which side could provide her with more resources and influence

Consequently, Greem wasn't sure that Meryl would come to his side

In fact, he didn't even have complete confidence that Mary would side with hiness to join his future clan so far was Alice

Greeile when all these factors were taken into consideration If Gargareatly benefit his future strategic plans, even if they weren't loyal to his cause

That was the ive up on that little life that was growing inside the forest spirit!

Greeht hold on the black cat and ensured that his hand still kept it imprisoned Meanwhile, he started to draw in the air with his other hand Soon, he constructed a fair, iical contract The terms established by the deal didn't place any discriaations, and responsibilities of both parties The terenerous that it was almost similar to a contract of equal treatamel and Eva They looked at each other like they didn't believe what they were seeing

Gargamel and Eva perused the contract to ensure there were no hidden ter Finally, the couple hesitantly placed their soul brands on the contract

The runes of fire slowly dissipated into the air once the contract was signed The three of thee that had occurred in their souls

No god was governing over contracts in the World of Adepts The adepts would never pledge themselves to any deities either Most contracts itnessed and ed by the profound and fair World Consciousness Anyone that dared to go against a ical contract in the World of Adepts was fated to be abandoned and punished by the World Consciousness
