Chapter 370: Verena and the Contract

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

They captured people but didnt lull them, instead, they specially created such a unique cage to detain them and even burned their souls to break their will. These Deceivers are indeed a bit twisted. What kind of grudge do they hold?

Did Verena commit an act that made the Deceivers believe that merely killing her would be too lenient a punishment?

Ji Chen said in a deep voice, What did you do to make those Deceivers hate you so much? They seem to only have a grudge against the Divine Race and Divine

Patrons.

Because I killed everyone in their entire base, Verena said emotionlessly as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world.

At these words, Ji Chen was slightly taken aback. Well, it turns out shes a killer.

Those Deceivers have kept me here for hundreds of years, and in these hundreds of years, you are the first outsiders to enter here.

Sir, 1 implore you to break this cage and set me free

Ji Chen fell into silence for a moment.

Looking at the cold air and ice that couldnt be contained even by the metal cage, he hesitated.

Having single-handedly slaughtered an entire Deceiver base, just from this point of view, Verena must possess remarkable strength.

After gathering his thoughts, Ji Chen spoke with determination.

I know nothing about you, and I cant even be sure if youre a friend or a foe. If 1 rescue you, and you turn against me afterward, wouldnt that be like digging my own grave?

From what I know, the followers of the War G.o.ddess are mostly war maniacs.

The War G.o.ddess, also known as the G.o.ddess of Slaughter, was rumored to be addicted to war during the era when G.o.ds walked the world, constantly instigating wars between her followers and other divine realms.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, her followers were primarily war enthusiasts who took pride in slaying their foes and aspired to enter the Hall of Heroes for eternal glory after they died.

However, after the disappearance of the G.o.ds from the world, these followers who were either at war or on the path to war were quickly hunted down by various forces and suffered heavy casualties.

In the time that followed, due to various obstacles and killings, the followers of the War G.o.ddess gradually became rare, becoming a rare and exceptional existence.

Ji Chen was also curious about where the Deceivers had captured this follower of the War G.o.ddess.

Clearly, Verena was aware of her reputation beyond these walls, and she remained silent for a long time.

The chains that pierced her body were constantly burning her soul, but they were always maintained at an appropriate level, preventing her from quickly dying, so to ensure that she would always suffer.

Centuries of torment had pushed her will to the brink of collapse, and while her body might still support her for some time, her spirit was nearing its end.

In the end, one would only lose all reason and become a lunatic.

I swear by the War G.o.ddess that after gaining my freedom, I will never harm you, sir, or your army. If 1 violate this oath in the slightest, my soul will be extinguished, and my spirit will not return to the Hall of Heroes.

Swearing by ones own faith?

For all believers in deities, swearing by the deity they wors.h.i.+p is the most solemn oath, not to mention that followers of the War G.o.ddess believe that they could enter the Hall of Heroes after death.

This carried significant weight.

Ji Chen nodded slightly.

The conversation took a turn.

So, if I rescue you, what benefits and advantages can I gain?

In a bustling world, everything was driven by self-interest.

Ji Chen was not a philanthropist; he would not engage in a losing deal.

Verena remained silent for a moment and then said, I have nothing to offer you, and I possess no special talents. I only know how to kill. If you allow me, sir, I can help you with killing.

Truly a follower of the War G.o.ddess, with nothing but thoughts of fighting and killing in her mind.

Ji Chen thought for a moment, his expression turning serious.

Very well, but we must sign a contract. You will need to serve me in battle for thirty years.

If you agree to this condition, then I will rescue you.

Thirty years?

Verenas heart sank for a moment, but she quickly replied, I agree.

Thirty years might seem quite long, but for her, it was nothing significant. After enduring hundreds of years of captivity for the sake of freedom, what were thirty years?

Seeing Verenas straightforward agreement, Ji Chen nodded. After the lesson he had learned earlier, he couldnt just trust the prisoners words.

Just like Elin, when she had made the promise initially, she had appeared so sincere and even swore in the name of a warrior.

But then, there wasnt a trace of her, and no one knew where she had gone.

So, it had been better to have a contract, a highly effective measure, to put his mind at ease.

Ji Chen extended his right hand and immediately drew up a contractan Oath of Loyalty.

Compared to the Master-Servant contract, this type of contract was more equal, resembling an agreement between a knight and a lord. The knight had to be loyal to the lord, and the lord had to treat the knight fairly. After both parties fulfilled the contracts terms, it could be terminated.

With the final stroke of his pen, he gently pushed the hovering contract text in front of the cage.

Verena was clearly familiar with this type of contract and quickly condensed a wisp of frost, writing her name on it.

Ding- The Oath of Loyalty has taken effect. Verena Lana is now loyal to you.

With the contract in effect, Ji Chen suddenly felt a peculiar connection between himself and Verena within the cage. It was milder and more equal compared to the bond he had with Luo Yang.

The contract was established.

He was the master, and Verena was the subordinate. It was absolutely impossible for her to harm him, and Ji Chen felt at ease.

Rein in your power; 1 will rescue you right now..
