Make the dragon great again

Chapter 25 Edmund's Oath
"Contract? Are you referring to the master-slave contract sworn by the soul?" Edmund's tone was surprisingly stable.

Adrian chuckled and said:

"That's right, the master-slave contract, if you submit your allegiance to me, I will help you stabilize your soul and body, and even help you solve the Alvarez matter in the future."

After a long silence, the fire of Edmund's soul leaped lightly again.

"Before making a decision, please allow me to ask you about your identity."

"It really should be like this, but after you know my identity, you won't have any room to refuse."

Adrian looked at Edmund calmly, and gave him the last chance to think about it.

For Adrian, saving this poor old mage might gain the friendship of the Supreme Council of the High Tower, or gain a reliable dungeon floor master, but even if he is not saved, Adrian will not have any loss.

And once Edmund knew his identity, Adrian, who adhered to the principle of "not being too flamboyant until reaching the adult dragon stage", couldn't leave him alone.

Adrian could forcefully conclude the master-slave contract, but in that case, Edmund's weak soul will be the first to be unable to bear it, so either Edmond voluntarily accepts the master-slave contract and becomes the dragon's servant, or he doesn't ask anything , Waiting to die here, or being forced to sign a contract by Adrian after knowing his identity, and then life and death are up to God...

After all, he was a heroic magician in the past. Through the background context and some simple conversations before, Edmund has probably figured out Adrian's identity. I am afraid it is not easy, knowing that once he knows the identity of the other party, he will fall into trouble. involuntary situation.

But Edmund was very calm about it.

"Hehe, your Excellency raised this condition, and I'm afraid you can see that I don't want to die...Since I don't want to die, then I seem to have no other choice. If your identity can convince me, I will sign a contract far away."

Hearing this, Adrian looked at Edmund's soul fire with deep eyes, and his eyes slowly changed back to the dragon's dark golden vertical pupil form. The rest of his body did not further transform into a dragon, but it has been hidden by the half-elf The breath of the giant dragon in his form was released by him bit by bit.

The aura of the dragon is like an invisible storm, tearing away the magical elements in the underground palace. Edmund's soul fire shakes violently uncontrollably. At the same time, he accepts the dragon's [true gaze], and he feels a feeling that is similar to that of the dragon. The horror of the bottomless abyss.

"This is, this is... I know! You are a giant dragon, a fantasy creature that has been extinct for more than 1 years!"

Edmund's hasty voice came from the swaying soul fire, and because of the violent emotional ups and downs, it seemed a bit sharp, like the roar of an innocent soul.

"Extinction?"

The dark vertical pupils in the dark golden eyes stretched slightly, and Adrian inevitably experienced emotional fluctuations after hearing the word 'extinction'.

Edmund spoke Continental lingua franca, and in the grammar of his sentence just now, the word 'extinction' was in the past tense.

Adrian had heard the saying "the dragon is extinct" among many people before, but he always believed that it was just a misinterpretation made by low-level people who did not understand high-level information. I think there must be other dragons in this world, but they don't appear in front of ordinary people.

But now, a former hero-level magician and member of the highest judging panel of the largest autonomous organization of spellcasters in the eastern part of the mainland, 'Gaotalin', even said that "the dragon has been extinct for more than ten thousand years"?
Could it be that the giant dragon in this world is really extinct?
Adrian thought that when he reincarnated into this world, he existed as a dragon egg at the beginning. He didn't know how many years he stayed in the dragon egg before it broke out of the shell, so the more he thought about it, the more he felt this statement Might be true!
"No, that's not right!" Edmund's tone calmed down slightly, but the still shaking soul fire showed that his heart was still shaking.

"Since you appeared in front of me, it means that the dragon is not extinct, and you still exist in this world!"

At this time, Adrian is not good enough to let Edmond die like this. He obviously knows a little bit about the history of dragons. Although he will go to see Anna's teacher next time, Adrian is not equal for a moment. Know the answer as soon as possible!

But before Adrian could organize his words, Edmund's flickering soul fire gradually returned to calm, and he said first:
"I am willing to submit to you, Your Excellency the Great and Wise Dragon."

Adrian didn't expect Edmund to agree so readily, and he couldn't continue to worry about whether to ask historical questions for a while.

"Are you willing to conclude a master-slave contract?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, it is a great honor for a Gaia magician to be the servant of a wise and powerful Phantasm."

Edmund's tone was calm, but Adrian could hear a touch of sadness in it - as a Gaia species, his soul and body were restricted by invisible shackles, and even if he became an undead creature, he could not break through the shackles.

After understanding this level, Adrian also understood why Edmund agreed so readily, and also knew what he was really looking forward to, so he said:

"You have lost your original body now, and I will not be able to help you break through the limit of the Gaia subspecies for the time being."

Edmund's soul fire rose a little bit as if it was returning to the light, and there was an irrepressible surprise in his voice:
"Yes, yes, master, I can wait, I can wait!"

At this point, Adrian didn't say anything more, the conditions of both parties had reached a consensus in the dialogue just now, and the master-slave contract to be concluded, the oath will also be written based on the consensus of both parties.

"You don't need to call me Master, my name is Adrian, you can just call me Your Excellency from now on."

"Yes, Your Excellency Adrian." Edmund was convinced, and his posture was very low.

A complicated dragon language was read out by Adrian, and the bloody light emerged and gradually condensed into an oath in the air, which read:
【My lord, the holy pure white dragon Adrian!I swear that you are my only master, and you will promise to regain my original body for me and help me break the limit...

I will give all, I give up anointing, baptism, and all the mercy of the saints.If I cannot sacrifice and worship you, I would give my life and soul...

This contract was signed in the third era 3362, the month of midsummer, the 6th day of the middle period] (Note)
The two parties to the contract are Adrian and Edmund, and the pledger is Edmund.

Edmund's soul fire flickered for a while, and finally recited the entire oath in a solemn tone, and finally recited his full name.

"...Edmund Van Higgins Howard."

As soon as the words fell, at the bottom of the bloody contract, a fiery name that seemed to be stamped with a branding iron slowly emerged.

[Sworn: Edmund Van Higgins Howard]

"Edmund Howard, I offer you my utmost respect, my master, Your Excellency Adrian."

The mummy wearing the crown slowly knelt down on the ground, with his forehead on the ground, his palms facing up and placed in front of his head.

　Speaking of this contract, I still have a screenshot of the original photo in my computer, which I saw on the post bar before. The original text is in Latin, and the translation I used is the translation of a big guy from the Black Magic Bar.If possible, I actually want to send the photos to the book review area, but the review of the starting point is really a little bit...
