The Transmigrated Novelist
Chapter 83 - 83: Insurance & Blood-Soul Art
At the same time, it wasn't like she hadn't expected this. After all what person would allow such an opportunity to escape in front of his eyes.
In fact, if Roy hadn't asked her for something like that, she might even think that the reason he died was that he was too stupid for his own good.
But she didn't expect Roy to be that vicious, as one look on his eyes was enough to confirm that he was serious and that he would truly kill her if she didn't find a way to prove her loyalty for the future.
She was trapped between a rock and a hard place, and no matter which side she picked she was going to lose something.
On one side it was her life, and on the other, it was her freedom. But since she had decided to gamble everything, she decided to pick the second.
Furthermore, it wasn't like she had much of a freedom at the moment anyway. Roy was her lottery ticket, she either won and become one of the wealthiest women in existence or lost and died.
Thinking like this, she made her choice quickly, but she couldn't help but release a sigh, as she said,
"Sigh~! I have no other choice, do I!? Well, I might as well gamble everything on you!
I have a Secret Art, as long as you are able to learn that Art, you will be able to cast a slave seal upon me!"
All this time Roy had been looking at her with a deathly stare, not because he wanted to kill her, but because he wanted to scare and dominate her.
This barbarian woman was too much of a treasure for him to let it slip from his hands, no matter what he had to keep her by his side for as long as he was alive.
Even though it was too early to decide her role in his life, he was already thinking of keeping her as one of his wives, or concubines. Giving her an official standing by his side.
But that was for later, right now he was in quite the situation, as he had to make sure that she tied her life and future with him.
Only like that would he be able to fully trust her and open the door for her to enter his life. Otherwise, it was the same as keeping a juicy piece of meat, with wolves coming around him.
Hearing her solution, he couldn't help but frown a bit, as he said,
"Do you think I don't know how to place a slave seal? It's not really difficult, as long as I spend a bit of time, I will be able to do it.
But those things are too weak, as long as you find a more advanced Master than me, then you will be able to break the seal, and render everything useless.
That isn't much of a guarantee, is it? In fact, you are making me think that you have already planned this, so I can only think of killing you to save myself."
A time Mage was a great treasure but at the same time a great danger. As long as she stayed by his side, while Roy wasn't able to fully control her and her life, it was the same as keeping a time bomb.
There can be hope as long as the hills are still green. At the moment, Roy appreciated more his life, than his future.
Furthermore, what guaranteed him that she wasn't the one that got him killed in the future, so a slave seal was useless.
But the 'little princess' seemed to have expected that, as she said,
"Normal slave seals are certainly not trustworthy, but the slave seal in this Secret Art is special, as long as you cast it upon me, then my life is tied with yours, but yours isn't tied to mine.
This means that if you die then I will die, but if I die nothing will happen to you! Furthermore, if I try to absolve the slave seal, it will activate immediately the backup option, and kill me immediately."
Hearing her words, Roy couldn't help but show a look of curiosity and surprise, as he asked with a questioning look,
"Does there truly exist such an art?"
"You can take a look at it, it is among my ex-husband's possessions, I took it from my father's collection!"
Roy felt a bit weird at her reminding her of her ex-husband, as she belonged to him now, but that wasn't the most important thing at the moment.
Without removing his look from her eyes, he called to the outside,
"Quickly bring here all the possessions of that Young Master we caught on the battlefield!"
With that said he just kept looking at her from head to toes, and he had to accept that she was quite the beauty, he wasn't losing anything by having her on his side.
She was the definition of a true wild forest beauty, racing head to head with Ileana. He felt like his luck was quite good, and that his enemy was just too much of an idiot to send her here.
It didn't take long for a few of his Harem Palace members to enter inside with a few animals leather baggage.
As soon as the baggage was arranged in front of him, he said with a cool and calm voice,
"Leave now and tell everyone to stay at least 50 feet away from this place!"
"Yes, my Lord!" x4
The ladies were a bit surprised by the order, but they didn't dare question Roy's words, as they acknowledged them quickly, and left the place.
The moment that they were left all alone once again, Roy made a sign for her to find that book, and hand it over to him.
The 'little princess' took her cue, and she immediately picked a normal-looking suitcase, then opened it and started rummaging through, as she took out a kind of skin book out of it.
It was clear that the book was made out of some kind of skin, but Eric couldn't tell what kind of skin it was at first.
Only when the 'little princess' brought it closer to him and handed it over to him was he able to understand that the book was made out of human skin.
He had no idea whether the guy that did something like this was a mental and psychotic maniac or some vengeful powerhouse!
He could tell one thing though, this book was nothing simple, and probably way more special than he even thought.
The moment he read the name on top of it though he couldn't help but jump from his place, and exclaim in pure shock, and excitement,
"Th-this is the Blood-Soul Art!?"
There was a clear shock in his eyes! The cold-blooded killing intent of a moment ago had transformed into complete shock, and surprise, as Roy looked like some kid getting an unexpected gift for his birthday.
He couldn't believe what he was holding in his hands. His Master had looked for this thing for so many years and wasn't able to find even a trusted rumor about it, while he was holding it now.
The way it had come in front of him was extremely weird, and even miracle looking, to tell the truth as he seemed to forget the disgust of the human skin, and directly opened it.
"Impossible!
Just, Impossible!"
The more pages he opened and the more he read it, the more excited, and shocked he became as this thing was the complete Bloody-Soul Art.
Normally people would kill for even a small parchment of this thing, while he was now holding the complete thing in his hands.
If word of that appeared in the outside world, then he would become the whole Navita's enemy and opponent.
He wouldn't have a moment of peace and quiet as people would hunt him down wherever he tried to hide in order to obtain it.
He truly didn't know whether he should be extremely happy, or extremely worried at that moment. It was a good thing that he was inside Death Forest, and the whole tribe obeyed him.
Furthermore, no one knew that he had this thing, and he wasn't stupid to spread around word of it.
Looking at his reaction, and words, the 'little princess' couldn't help but ask out of curiosity,
"You know about this Secret Art!?"
It was only at that moment that Roy was able to wake up from his stupor, try hard to control himself, and his feelings, as he said with a serious and solemn voice,
"Yes, I know much more than you about it! Tell me, who else knows about this Secret Art, and how much do they know?"
The 'little princess' was startled, surprised, and confused even more by Roy's sudden serious and solemn expression, as she responded solemnly as well,
"Only me, my father, and a few people in the Camp. But no one has been able to practice it, and it had been rotting in my father's collection.
I picked it up by curiosity and tried to practice it, but I wasn't able to. And by the time I was reminded of having it, we were on our way to this place.
Roy couldn't believe her words, as such a precious Secret Art was almost left to rot in a barbarian camp.
The Heavens were truly unfair, giving jade to someone who didn't appreciate its beauty and its value.
Luckily it had ended up in his hands and made him the happiest man on Navita. He wasn't this excited even the previous day when he enjoyed all his Harem Palace beauties at the same time…
In fact, if Roy hadn't asked her for something like that, she might even think that the reason he died was that he was too stupid for his own good.
