Chapter 374: Chapter 302: Servant Contract_2
In other words, once Victor signs the contract to become his servant, if she breaks the contract, her level will instantly drop below 500. This is even more terrifying than an Immortal Emperor losing half their cultivation in a divorce, because the 500 levels between 499 and 999 are far more valuable than the first 500.
Her words weren’t many, but they were quite alluring. After all, who wouldn’t want to acquire a near-god level servant at 999?
Lynn wasn’t interested.
Tch, it’s not like she’s a pretty girl servant. What’s there to collect?
But thinking is one thing; he couldn’t speak his mind directly.
They had originally planned to find a chance to plot against... oops, off Victor. So the conditions she now proposed played right into their hands, didn’t they?
If they take her as a servant, then in a confrontation with her, they’d be in an undefeatable position. Even if he, as Master, harbors lethal intent towards the servant and takes action, it would be seen as the Master abandoning the servant. If it weren’t a top-tier binding Servant Contract, it would automatically dissolve, allowing the harmed servant to resist. But by then, she’d have already taken a heavy blow, and how much combat power would she have left?
Moreover, Lynn as the Master wouldn’t have to worry about Victor launching a sneak attack, because a servant attacking their Master is also seen as breaking the contract. At that point, Victor wouldn’t even be able to maintain her Saint Tier level. Forget hurting him, even scratching him would be an exaggeration.
What’s more important is that, regardless of what situation occurs or what accident happens, he has Guardian Refraction as his backup and deadliest weapon.
With one immunity to damage and one kill shot, he could completely teach Victor a lesson, no matter the situation.
Ever since obtaining Guardian Refraction, he’s never met an evenly matched opponent. The only thing that’s been able to get him is the Demon God’s schemes, which aren’t direct confrontations and thus haven’t come into play.
Now he’s encountered a same-level expert, and it seems useful. Moreover, by signing the Servant Contract according to her suggestion, it matches perfectly.
After all, Guardian Refraction’s attack and defense effects are once a day. If it’s a same-level battle, finding the timing for one attack and one defense can be challenging. But with a contract restraining the opponent, it’s much easier.
"If it’s like this... it sounds kind of interesting."
Lynn pretended to ponder for a moment before nodding, expressing his interest in Victor’s proposal.
"If the Demon Emperor thinks it’s feasible, then the servant contract can be established today. The Demon Emperor can summon the Seven Great Demon Kings to witness and verify the contract’s authenticity, ensuring I’m not concealing anything."
Seeing the Illidan Demon Emperor finally relenting, Victor also breathed a sigh of relief.
She has already tried her best to gain Illidan’s trust. If he can’t even accept this, Victor wouldn’t have a better solution.
Her greatest goal is to unite her daughter with Illidan, to create more dragons, ensure the Ancient Demon Dragon lineage prospers, and pass it down.
But if there’s a chance, even the slightest chance, who wouldn’t want to tap into the power of the Demon Emperor... borrow the Demon Emperor’s might?
So she wants to invest in her unmarried daughter, making Illidan Demon Emperor pay utmost attention to her. The worst outcome is allowing her daughter a place in Illidan Demon Emperor’s harem, while the best result might challenge for the Demon Queen’s position.
Around a millennia ago, she didn’t care about the Demon Queen’s position, just satisfied enough to have birthed one child before her death. Who could have foreseen that in the passage of these thousand years, she’d nearly reach the boundaries of achieving the Demon God...
If she hadn’t leveled up to 999, she’d be ready to quietly die in a secluded dragon cave. But she did rise!
If she couldn’t even get close, she’d have no thoughts. But once she touched the edge...
Becoming a Demon God, to gain nearly infinite longevity...
Who wouldn’t seize the opportunity?
Victor couldn’t resist. No demon dislikes living longer, and none can resist the lure of immortality.
And to achieve all this, she needs opportunities and treasures. Opportunities are rare, with no guarantee, but treasures are different. The best treasures of the Demon Realm are in the hands of the Demon Emperor, known throughout Shanghai.
Even if the Demon Dragon Emperor has proven that owning the Demon Realm doesn’t necessarily mean smoothly ascending to a Demon God, he at least has a much better chance. With each Demon God’s Demon’s Gift almost taken by him.
As a Demon Emperor, who knows how many benefits they’ve harvested? Victor isn’t greedy for other things, only treasures that extend life interest her.
As for more direct ones that enhance the strength of a near-god, it’s not a lack of desire, but a feeling of unrealistic expectations.
If such treasures indeed existed, it wouldn’t fall to her. The Demon Dragon Emperor has been the Demon Emperor for ages. If it existed, he wouldn’t risk going to the Divine Protection Continent seeking breakthrough.
Making himself end up dying in foreign lands, which sounds better than the reality of seeking others only to get killed. It’s a disgrace for dragons.
Life-extending treasures are more practical because she can confirm they are in the Demon Emperor’s treasury.
Apart from those who died in battle or were overthrown, past Demon Emperors lived far longer than their kin, with the longest-lived even matching the longevity of the Ancient Demon Dragon Race.
The Ancient Demon Dragon belongs to the Dragon Race, known for longevity. The five major races in the Demon Realm aren’t as short-lived as the Human Race, but couldn’t compete with the Giant Dragon Race. Yet each non-violently perished Demon Emperor lived multiple times longer than their own kind.
Victor’s ambition isn’t large. She hopes her daughter receives affection, bringing a life-extending treasure to her for five hundred more years. She truly wants to live another five hundred years!
If after five hundred years she still hasn’t completed the final step and achieved Demon Godhood, then she’ll die peacefully, as by then, with luck besides her daughter’s luck, she might have two grandsons to delight in...
Thinking of this, Victor looked up to face the imposing Illidan Demon Emperor, waiting for his reply.
The Demon Emperor didn’t keep her waiting long. After such sincere conditions, Lynn only considered momentarily before agreeing to her proposal.
"Good! I’ll have the Demon King’s Consorts witness it. Once the Servant Contract is established, the Emperor allows you to stay in the Demon Realm and serve this Emperor."
With that, Lynn summoned the Seven Great Demon Kings. In the Demon Emperor Palace, he was surrounded by his ears and eyes, capable of issuing commands with a mere thought, without spending precious Demon Mirror communications.
Meanwhile, during the gap before the Seven Great Demon Kings returned, Victor decisively proposed her accompanying condition to Lynn.
"Demon Emperor, since you and I are now a family of demons, I believe there’s one condition you will be willing to accept."
Victor used the term "condition" this time, unlike the earlier proposal, which indicated she believed this point was crucial for the Demon Emperor. It could be seen as a necessity.
Though the earlier proposal had her eager for the Demon Emperor’s acceptance, not him providing conditions for her service, strictly speaking, she wasn’t qualified to propose conditions, yet she knowingly did so, suggesting this condition was beneficial for the Demon Emperor.
Lynn thought so too, so when Victor indicated she had a condition, he remained unchanged in expression, simply gesturing for her to state it.
Victor didn’t disappoint him, indeed raising a condition clearly advantageous for him, as she said—
"My daughter is about to come of age, born with fair... um, extremely beautiful skin and a graceful pose, being a pure-blooded Ancient Demon Dragon. Since the Demon Emperor has just ascended, it’s prime time to expand the harem. I wish to offer my daughter Yili as consort to the Demon Emperor, to help our Demon Dragon Race branch out, allowing the lineage to flourish and never cease..."
