Chapter 1286 Spirit Summoning (2)
Tang Shaoyang was about to go down to meet his new spirit, but a wing made of lava formed on the spirit\'s back. It opened up, splashing the lava all over. With a single flap, the creature was up on the same level as Tang Shaoyang. The lava dripped off from the wing, and it was hard to tell if the wing was an ability or its natural wing.
\'What is this? Is it challenging me? I hope it will end like Radiance, making the contract with no fight.\' He thought because of how intense the glare from the spirit was. The spirit had crimson eyes as if the eyes were made of lava. Just crimson with no iris and pupils.
"Can you speak my language?" Tang Shaoyang opened the conversation. He had been waiting for the spirit to speak, but the spirit did not say anything, just staring at him straight for fifteen seconds.
"What a stupid question. We don\'t need to speak the same language to understand each other because the System will do everything for us," The bear finally spoke.
Tang Shaoyang nodded his head instead of escalating it, "So, what\'s your decision? You should know everything since you are a Mythical Spirit. Do you want to make a contract with me?"
"You are strong, and I respect the strong," Tang Shaoyang was about to roll his eyes when he heard that from Mr. Bear. The bear called him stupid a few seconds ago, and now it said it respected the strong. Mr. Bear stopped at that, there was no follow-up after that statement.
"Does that mean a yes?" He could not help but ask Mr. Bear. It was hard to interpret from his statement and that expressionless face.
"What if I refuse to form a contract with you?" Mr. Bear finally said it.
"Then I have to sacrifice you. I can\'t just waste my sacrifices to let you go," Tang Shaoyang took out his sword from his inventory.
"I will lose if I fight you, and I don\'t want to die eternally too. I will agree to make a contract with you, but what will you do for me while I lend my power to you? The contract is supposed to benefit both of us, not just you. If there\'s no benefit for me. I would rather die than lend you my power!"
"You have two choices. First, one hundred years contract and a resurrection. You will be free after I resurrect you. Second, a ten-year contract and a resurrection. However, you have to join my Empire after I resurrect you," Tang Shaoyang offered.
[You can add more than just ten years. That\'s too short, and he is a Mythical Spirit too.] Zara did not agree with the ten-year offer. [At least fifty years for the first option, and five hundred years for the second choice.]
"Can I ask you something before I make up my mind?" Tang Shaoyang responded with a nod to that. One question did not take much of his time.
"What does it mean to join your empire? Do I have to fight for your empire after I get resurrected?" Afi asked for more details instead of making the choice directly. Ten years and a hundred years were not that big a difference for him who had died for a long time.
"You can join my army, yes, but it\'s not a must. If you have a passion for farming, then you can join that side too," Tang Shaoyang forgot the new division name that took charge of agriculture. His mind was wholly focused on the upcoming fight, "Or if you have passion for smithing, you can join the dwarf or even Alchemy. But of course, in the time of emergency, you have to help defend the empire. I will not force you to join the army, but I suggest you join Tarrior if fighting is what you are good at."
"Make your choice, Afi The Primordial Urosa. We don\'t have that much time!"
"Can I have the second question, and this will be my last question," Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, but he nodded anyway.
"May I know the name of your world?"
"Earth!"
"Earth? It seems this is nowhere near my old home. I will choose the first option. I have nowhere to go even if I get resurrected anyway."
The contract was more simple than the one Tang Shaoyang made with Vandir the Death King. Afi turned into a wisp of light and entered Tang Shaoyang\'s forehead. The contract was done, and he heard a greeting from Radiance.
[Welcome to the new home, Sir Afi!] The Frostbringer seemed happy to have a new company. Hearing Radiance\'s voice, he forgot to ask why he volunteered to form a contract with him.
"You haven\'t told me about your reason for volunteering to form a contract with me," He asked on the way back to Lisbon. He was really curious about what made a high-ranking spirit like Radiance willingly offer itself without asking anything in return.
[It\'s kinda embarrassing because I have been rejected six times. I have been summoned six times before you, Sir. They refused to form a contract with me because of how weird I am. Some of them seemed to be afraid of me and directly sent me back to the void. That\'s why I offer myself to you, Sir.]
