A baby dragon has built a nest outside the Novice Village

Chapter 6 "Make a Friend"

"Now, let's talk about reparations."

Fari walked to the wall of the cave.

"Look, my nest is damaged because of you."

There was a barely visible scratch where Fari's claw was pointing.

It was left by the aftermath of the sword light that shattered his scales.

"Wait a minute, we are here to deal with the Necromancer, we didn't mean to invade your..."

"Objectively speaking, you have invaded my nest."

Fary interrupted the adventurer's complaint and continued pointing at the scratch that was invisible without careful observation.

"Isn't 500 gold coins too much to compensate for this scratch?"

Farri stepped back and waved his paws.

The long sword was inserted into the ground, with the tip of the sword buried about twenty to thirty centimeters.

"No no no."

"This was obviously burned by your own breath."

The adventurer had less than ten gold coins in his pocket. Even if he was sold, the sum would not even amount to a fraction of the amount Farui asked for.

The adventurer's perception was not wrong, but the dragon Farui was a little special.

"For these burned areas, one thousand gold coins is not too much, right?"

The adventurer silently pulled the sword from the ground and pointed it at the young dragon in front of him.

"No money? It doesn't matter. Everyone has down times."

When Fari reported those numbers, he never thought that the adventurer in front of him could afford it.

And an offended dragon will quickly attack in anger.

"I am a dragon, not a devil."

His goal was not just a few thousand gold coins.

"No need to say more, just keep fighting."

Fari ignored the adventurer's protest and looked at the sword in his hand.

"For the damage you have done to the ground of the nest, I will give you 800 gold coins..."

Before the adventurer could say anything, Fary pointed his claws at the scorch marks on the cave wall.

The adventurer uttered these two words between his teeth, and then stared straight at the young dragon in front of him. In the adventurer's cognition, dragons are greedy and moody creatures, and it is a great offense to such creatures if their requests are rejected.

Fary grinned and put a smile on his face as best he could.

"No money."

"We have no grudges against each other, there is no need to fight to the death."

"It doesn't matter if you can't pay it back right away. Here, take this contract."

As the spell light flashed, a contract appeared in the adventurer's hands.

"Soul contract?"

This is the most binding form of contract in the world. Even those so-called "gods" would have to pay a heavy price if they wanted to forcibly terminate this contract.

"Twenty percent of your adventure income will be paid off until the debt is paid off..."

The terms of the contract generally require the adventurer to hand over a certain amount of adventure income, and the outstanding amount will accumulate interest over time.

You only need to pay 20% of the income from the next adventure to get out of here. In the eyes of adventurers, this price is acceptable. "If you sign now, you can waive the compensation amount and only need to pay 2,000 gold coins."

At some point, Farui was lying next to the adventurer, whispering in his ear.

"As long as you pay off the principal of 2,000, you only need to use 10% of your risk income to pay the interest. This can greatly reduce the repayment pressure."

These are all traps. The most important clause is hidden in an inconspicuous corner of the contract, and Ferry will not mention that clause on his own initiative.

That's the interest.

The annual interest rate on this contract is as high as 30 percent.

Even if a level 5 warrior who is well-known in the surrounding area is lucky, he can only earn a little over a thousand gold coins a year. With this interest rate, he will probably have to work for Farui for the rest of his life.

Fary was sure that the adventurer in front of him would not stop at level five. After regaining his sanity, Fary quickly realized that a low-level warrior had soul equipment in his hands. What did this mean?
There is only one possibility, there is a "person" behind this low-level warrior.

Maybe he is the illegitimate son of a leader of a powerful force, or maybe he is gifted and is seen as a potential stock by a powerful person. He may even be the chosen one of the so-called "gods". He will almost certainly become an important figure on the continent in the future.

As for possible intervention and retaliation from those big shots, there are clauses in the contract, and the adventurer in front of him cannot reveal the existence of the contract and Fari to others.

"Also, in order to improve your repayment ability, I can provide you with some help. Of course, it will cost you extra money."

This is the clause of forced sale, and Farui is going to throw the hard-to-sell Death Knight hilt to the adventurer. Of course, this clause is not completely a pitfall, Farui still gave some good things, such as the magic shield in his treasure, and the promise to assist the adventurer three times.

"Just write your name and you're good to go."

Fari's voice echoed in the adventurer's ears, urging him to make a decision quickly.

“How much do I have to pay back?”

The adventurer was already confused by the long document of terms and conditions, but he actually had no choice but to sign it.

But before signing, he wanted to know how much debt he was in.

"The principal is 5,000. As for the interest, it depends on how fast you make money."

This number made the adventurer feel dizzy. He couldn't even imagine that he would be able to pay back the money.

"Fortunately, each adventure only requires you to hand over 20% of your income, and there is no set repayment period. At least it won't have a big impact on your life. Just think of it as paying an extra tavern room fee."

The adventurer could only comfort himself in this way, and then signed his name on the contract.

"Reinhardt, what a nice name."

Fary looked at the name that appeared on the contract. It looked like a name that only the protagonist would have.

As Reinhardt's name appeared, the contract began to take effect. The shield and the hilt of the Death Knight's sword from the small pile of treasure in the corner of the cave flew out under the effect of the contract and fell into Reinhardt's hands.

"Okay, the contract is complete, you can go."

Fary looked away. Although he knew that it was to pave the way for more wealth in the future, his heart still twitched when he saw his own treasure falling into Reinhardt's hands.

"Oh, right, that necromancer..."

Reinhardt, who was about to walk out of the cave, suddenly remembered his original purpose, which was to get rid of the necromancer for the village.

This dragon named Farui had apparently occupied this cave that was originally used by the necromancer as a ritual site not long ago. Thinking back to the undead creatures in the cemetery that had "died" again because they had no undead energy to support them...

"It's among the pile of corpses outside the cave. Look for it yourself."

The contract has been completed, and Reinhardt can be considered as Fari's "economic partner". As long as Fari doesn't have to spend money or effort, Fari doesn't mind helping out a little for free.

Reinhardt walked out, and soon the sound of a corpse being dragged was heard outside the cave.

Around dusk, two gold coins appeared in Farri's paws.

This was the first benefit the contract brought him.
