Chapter 42 Yes, My Master [Seeking Investment]

Chapter 42 Yes, my master... [Seeking investment]

"Puff..."

The dark red eyeballs broke, and the harder bones were penetrated.

Tissue fluid splashed out and stained Chen Xuan's wrist.

He did not look at the remains of the succubus Sophie, because there was no need.

"Master... Master..."

The little cat girl came over timidly and asked softly.

"We can enter the cave now..."

But Chen Xuan did not answer immediately, but made a gesture to stay calm.

He carefully picked up a relatively complete piece of the bottom of the test tube beside the succubus.

There was a silver liquid mass as small as a grain of rice in it.

[Insight] The effect was activated, and the golden subtitles appeared.

[A little bit of mercury liquid mass that has not yet completely evaporated. Of course, in Naroa you can also call it magic tears]

...

It turned out to be mercury!

Chen Xuan threw the fragment away with his backhand.

A large amount of inhalation and contact with this thing will cause mercury poisoning!

But in the open area, the rate of dissipation and dilution is also relatively fast.

Now it seems that the boarman seems to have used a lot of mercury as a weapon to defeat the succubus.

He didn't have time to think carefully, and he suddenly realized something.

He turned his eyes to the bushes in the direction he came from, raised his hand and said hello.

"Come out, dear Miss Ophelia."

After the voice fell, about two or three seconds later, the figure with golden hair came out from behind.

She held a hardwood straight bow, and the arrow was already on the string. Her expression was indifferent and alert.

But her slightly trembling shoulders showed that her heart was not calm.

"You... you can't be just a newcomer!"

Chen Xuan smiled indifferently and walked towards her.

Just after walking two steps, Ophelia raised her bow and arrow and aimed at him.

"Stop..."

The tamer lady is not as naive as she looks on the surface. On the contrary, she is more mature than adventurers of the same level, and she will never let her guard down easily in such occasions.

And she just witnessed the process of Chen Xuan killing the boar man and the succubus one after another.

The 1.75 seconds of time stop did not exist for her.

But the impact caused by time stop could not be concealed.

In Ophelia's sight, Chen Xuan's movements were like ghosts, and she could not see the opponent's moves.

Compared with the more mysterious time stop, it was "fast speed" that took the blame in the end.

She thought that Chen Xuan's speed of attack exceeded her visual capture ability.

As a half-elf, she has half of the blood of the elves.

She also inherited some of the elves' super vision, with a visual range and wide-angle vision far beyond that of humans.

This is why most elves or half-elves are natural archers.

But even so, she still failed to capture the trajectory of Chen Xuan's attack.

This is the biggest reason for her panic.

A strong man with such extreme speed, but wearing a log badge, if you say there is no secret behind it, even the wild dogs on the roadside will not believe it.

And she has become an "eyewitness" and has insight into the secret of Chen Xuan's hidden strength!

Let's not talk about the overly distorted ideas in the eldest lady's mind due to the information gap.

Chen Xuan raised his hands very casually.

"Don't be nervous, dear."

"Don't you want to trade Little Sweet Water and 'Monster Happy Saw' with me?"

His voice was clear and his expression was as calm as water.

Hearing Little Sweet Water and Happy Saw, Ophelia's guarded heart suddenly cracked.

She lowered her bow again and answered in a hesitant tone.

"I want to!"

"But... I'm afraid!"

"I've discovered your secret!"

At this point, she simply got straight to the point.

Chen Xuan showed a cheerful smile.

"Don't worry, we can sign a contract..."

"Under the premise of not affecting cooperation, keep each other's secrets."

"Contract..."

"Yes, there is a contract!"

Ophelia, not far away, looked enlightened.

Then he quickly activated the soul contract talent of the Naroa natives and drafted a secret contract.

Chen Xuan quickly checked the content through his mind and left a soul mark very straightforwardly.

Anyway, any contract will be forcibly modified by the golden finger as long as the [cross-border] is activated once.

After signing the contract neatly, Ophelia's concerns disappeared.

There is no way, for the native Naroa aborigines, the contract is so convincing.

She was obviously relieved, put down the bow and arrow, and walked quickly towards Chen Xuan.

When the two sides were less than three meters apart, she felt a momentary trance.

The next moment, Chen Xuan actually pulled Catwoman to her side and put a dagger against her throat.

Ophelia's hand subconsciously wanted to touch the storage bag on her waist.

But she found that the belt had been cut off at some point.

"This... this..."

"With the contract, you can't hurt me!"

Ophelia tried to struggle and twist.

But soon she felt the sharpness of the dagger tip, and suddenly remembered that only Chen Xuan was in effect.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

"As long as you sign a servant contract with me, it will be fine even if the duration is only one water clock."

Chen Xuan has not yet [crossed the boundary], so the contract has not been modified.

But just because he doesn't take action doesn't mean Rebecca can't take action.

When [Time Stop] is activated, he can act together as long as he pulls Rebecca.

You should know that Ophelia is not good at close combat. Catwoman can kill her at any time after getting close to her.

Facing Chen Xuan's request, she was still hesitant until Rebecca slightly increased her strength, and the blade rolled a thin blood mark on her fair skin.

"Okay!"

"I promise you!"

Ophelia gritted her teeth and agreed.

According to his request, a servant contract was concluded, which lasted for one water clock.

Soul contracts can be checked in an instant through the interaction of thoughts.

So the process is extremely simple.

After Chen Xuan concluded the contract, Ophelia became his second female slave.

This is the safest and most reliable choice besides silencing.

He needs Ophelia's family background and connections, so he can't kill her easily.

After completing the contract, he chose to [cross the border] on the spot.

He returned to the scene in a few seconds.

The thought space in [cross the border] appeared as promised, and the two contracts just concluded were modified.

Including the servant contract, not only the term was changed from one water clock to ∞, but also the master's responsibility was exempted.

Ophelia, who was standing still, was also surprised when he returned.

Due to the soul binding, she almost noticed the change of the contract at the same time.

"Impossible... This... This is absolutely impossible!"

Rebecca put away the dagger and looked at her sympathetically.

Chen Xuan did not make any explanation.

The contract has built the most basic guarantee, and now just need to give orders.

"Ophelia, you are responsible for cleaning the scene and collecting the spoils."

"Especially the traces that may be left must be cleaned up."

Facing his order, Ophelia's body trembled, and under the restrictions and training of the contract, she answered in a mosquito-like voice.

"Yes, my master..."

Well, a little knowledge, at a certain period in the West, mercury was once called a holy medicine.

They took calomel to clear the intestines, believing that this could cure all diseases.

Of course, there is a chance that after taking it, you will drool like a dementia patient...

In the "Witcher" series of works, the saying that mercury can exorcise demons is basically derived from this kind of allusion.
