The owner of the extraordinary sword was a 16-year-old boy. Moreover, this boy did not seem to realize the magnitude of what had just happened.
The problem was that there would be many immoral people from all over the continent who would want such a special sword, and this boy lacked the power to defend himself. He was in a position where he could easily be killed.
That would be unfortunate for Eternias founder, Bern.
Ive seen enough. You can put it away.
The sword disappeared as soon as those words left her mouth.
So youre alone?
The boy nodded with a reluctant expression.
Whats your na?
My na is Damien.
Where do you plan to return to?
Im going back to Harman. Thats where the workshop I used to work at is.
Sylverine replied casually,
Harman its a quiet place.
?
Sylverine bit her lower lip because she was internally conflicted.
She questioned whether she should let him simply go ho.
The wound looks serious.
Sylverine pulled a purple potion from a small leather pouch she carried at her waist. But after thinking about it for a while, she put it back in the pouch.
What will you give if I save your life?
I only have the money Ive saved so far, plus the sword.
All you have left is your body.
Damien stiffened for a mont when he heard the word body.
Do you like to socialize with others?
No.
Youd better get used to it.
Damiens mouth went dry. He assud that Sylverine expected a lot from him in return for saving him, but in reality, it was just the opposite.
Sylverine pulled a parchnt from her pocket before she casted a spell. Soon, a fire inscribed words on the parchnt. Finally, she handed the parchnt to Damien. The contents were inscribed in ancient characters that the boy could not decipher.
Sign it.
Damien, who took the parchnt, contemplated over the idea of signing for a while.
She knew very well that he had no choice. Damien would die if she left him here.
Sylverine sighed because Damien had taken so long.
Dont worry. If I had bad intentions, I would have turned you into a puppet by now.
But I have nothing to sign with
She pointed to the blood on Damiens side.
Ah.
Then, he sared his index finger with blood to write his na on the bottom of the parchnt. He handed the parchnt back to Sylverine. She, who bit down hard on the skin of her index finger, signed beside it with her own blood.
She whistled. A stitch flew from the sky to her. Sylverine placed the parchnt under the ball and soon it flew away in the blink of an eye.
She pulled the potion from her leather pouch to give to Damien.
Drizzle this over the wound. The sll of fresh blood will attract the ghouls back.
Damien was curious about what was written on the parchnt.
What was it that I signed?
A contract that binds us.
What does that an?
A bond between master and disciple.
The boys eyes widened like a rabbits.
He sprinkled all the potion quickly because he feared she would take it away from him again. Posted only on NovelUtopia
Why?
He beca quite serious.
Its not often one finds a guy who cuts ghouls like that.
Damien shook his head.
Its not my power.
Oh.
The people she had known of Damiens age were conceited by the power they had so easily obtained through their lineage or magical items.
In the current situation, it would be normal for him to be elated that she had chosen him, but Damien tried to firmly draw a line.
Sylverine smirked.
The boy knew his limits. On the other hand, he risked everything to co to this place because of a revelation. It was rare to find a boy with such a ntality. He was essentially different from the boys who had grown up in noble families.
Damien remained suspicious.
But who the hell are you to make your disciple?
She swept her hand through her wind-blown tousled hair. People ascribed different epithets to her, but none in particular she liked. So embarrassed her so much that she would be unable to say them with her own mouth.
In a way, it was natural for him to distrust her. There was nothing more suspicious in the world than a person who blindly perford an act of goodwill.
Have you ever heard of the Eternia Academy?
Sylverines question made Damien freeze like a stone statue.
