College Entrance Exam Secret Zone, Underworld.
"Master!" Elf Saint Elise was extrely excited as she ran toward George.
George narrowed his eyes. "Huh? It’s been a while, and you’ve gotten bigger."
Last night, George had summoned Elise and the Goblin King to go out into the wild.
They killed an Infernal Demon boss.
During the day, George went to the Class Change Guild to sell so materials. It had only been a half day, but Elise had sohow grown, her figure becoming more mature.
She was slightly taller too.
Her delicate face had a little glossy shine, cute and beautiful.
"Level 20 now!" she said.
George took a deep breath.
Elise had leveled up again.
The boss definitely had an advantage. No class change tasks needed. As long as she got enough experience, she would level up eventually.
"Master, this is what I got today!"
Elise waved her hand, and a bunch of monster materials fell down, scattering all over the ground in front of George.
Hmm?
George’s eyes lit up. "So many?"
The monster materials were all pretty good. Two of them were even top-tier. Besides materials, there were so skill books and equipnt.
But the quality was a bit low. The highest was only silver grade.
And they overlapped with George’s current gear.
He couldn’t take off his Dragonkin Armor just to wear a silver-grade armor, could he?
"Good," George said, looking at Elise. He nodded in satisfaction. Elise was doing well-she had gotten up early to work, uh, not that, she had gotten up early to kill monsters.
She had gathered so much material for him.
George looked up and checked the notification panel he had ignored before, scanning through each one. His eyes narrowed, and he felt even more happy.
It wasn’t just Elise who was going all in.
The Goblin King was also working hard.
Even earlier than Elise.
He had killed a bunch of monsters and gathered a big pile of materials, skill books, items, and gear.
George rubbed his chin and smiled knowingly. "The caretaker went lazy, but the pets and the boss familiars are all working hard."
Elise was stunned. "What did you say, Master?"
George’s eyelid twitched. He smiled and said, "Nothing."
"Co with sowhere."
George said to Elise.
He had co to find Elise because he wanted her to go with him to bond a third pet!
Sky Knight·lina.
Bonding would teleport you to where the pet was. George didn’t know what would happen when they arrived, so bringing Elise was safer.
And the reason he wasn’t bringing the Goblin King?
It was purely because this lina was also female.
More importantly, Elise was a higher level.
The sa Hexagram Spell Circle appeared under George’s feet as before. George said calmly, "Follow and step into the center of the circle."
Elise was clearly surprised. "What is this?"
But even though she was shocked, she hurried to follow George. A look of nervousness appeared on her delicate face, and she pulled on his clothes with her small hand.
Swish!
[Detected a suitable target nearby.]
[Sky Knight·lina, extrely high potential, worth focusing on.]
[Sky Knight·lina, once from an S-grade secret zone. She was a genius from Aela Empire’s Eternal City, Alarashir. The Aela Empire was invaded by the Abyss. Demons destroyed the empire and took over the Eternal City. lina had both dark and light bloodlines, and was seen as an on of bad luck, a demon’s incarnation. Her people once tied her to a burning torch and abandoned her. After she woke up, she ca to the Abyss, and then was brought into the Underworld secret zone.]
???.
Just like before, after George teleported, the notification panel refreshed again. And this ti, it didn’t just say lina had high potential for training.
It also added a story.
NPCs in the Ga Invasion Era weren’t just data modules. They were real people with real backgrounds.
But...
What shocked George was that lina had actually co from an S-grade secret zone?
"GOD! An S-grade secret zone? No wonder she’s so powerful!"
George took a deep breath.
"Viewed as an on of bad luck by the empire and her own people? A genius girl who got abandoned?"
George frowned.
"Both dark and light bloodlines?"
His eyes flickered.
George stared at lina’s description, and his heart gave a hard thump.
"Is this not just a regular monster?"
George had read a lot of web novels and watched a lot of movies. He knew this trope well. If soone had both dark and light strengths, they were usually top-tier fighters.
Once they grew up, they either turned evil and beca the final big villain, or they beca one of the strongest mbers of the hero group.
"Ugh."
George cald himself down a bit and narrowed his eyes, looking forward.
Behind the notification panel was a huge, dark forest. On a broken altar, a cross was holding a beautiful woman with a body that was perfectly shaped. She was wearing only a thin, tattered cloth.
Her long, wavy hair covered part of her face, but the part that showed was covered in dirt. Still, it was easy to tell that she was absolutely stunning.
"lina."
George’s voice was calm.
lina suddenly lifted her head. "Are you the Lord?"
"Finally?"
"After I sacrificed my soul, the gods have finally given redemption?"
lina raised her face, and there was a faint sadness in her eyes.
???
George raised an eyebrow.
"Sacrificed your soul? What the hell is that?"
"Still, she’s really good-looking."
George looked at lina closely. Her small face was full of features, perfectly arranged, so beautiful it was almost terrifying. She was definitely a top-tier beauty.
Under George’s gaze, lina smiled with a bitter expression. Her eyes sparkled slightly as she took a deep breath.
"I will be your servant. As long as you let take revenge. I want to go back to Eternal City, drive out those demons, and let those people see-what kind of person is really the on, what kind of person is really the heretic!"
"I will tell them! I! lina! Am not a demon! I’m not the embodint of evil!"
The girl’s eyes had tears, and her voice was a little shaky.
George raised an eyebrow, suddenly understanding.
"So that’s why she was willing to sacrifice her soul for revenge. That’s why I bonded with lina?"
Elise and the Goblin King before her didn’t have these kinds of hints.
But lina did.
"Maybe it’s because her rank is so much higher that it unlocked an extra story? Yeah, makes sense. Just randomly bonding with soone without a reason would be weird."
George nodded, getting the idea.
He raised his hand.
The next second.
[Binding Successful]
[Sky Knight·lina’s rank has increased]
[The Sky Knight has beco an S-grade Boss]
[The Sky Knight has unlocked an S-grade exclusive skill]
[The Sky Knight has leveled up]
[Sky Knight’s current level: 22]
[You have received Strength Reciprocation: Intellect 30, Stamina 30, Dexterity 30, Strength 30. You have also gained 3000 HP.]
???
The prompt screen flashed instantly.
George’s expression froze, shocked.
"So many?!"
This Strength Reciprocation was way too crazy-way more than when he bonded with Elise!
But, to George’s slight disappointnt, lina didn’t jump up to SR rank like he had expected.
"So, a level 2 taming skill can only raise one rank at a ti?"
George shook his head, looking a bit disappointed.
However, just as he was thinking that, another prompt screen popped up.
What?!
George’s eyes flickered with excitent.
[You have bonded your third pet. The other pets have received Strength Reciprocation]
[Goblin King’s rank has increased]
[Goblin King has beco an A-grade Boss]
[Elf Saint·Elise’s rank has increased]
[Elf Saint has beco an S-grade Boss]
[Goblin King has unlocked a talent]
???
What the hell!
Just looking at the screen scrolling like crazy, George’s eyes were shaking. "Can it really do that?!"
A level 2 taming skill didn’t make lina jump two ranks to SR, but it gave Strength Reciprocation to the other pets-Goblin King and Elise!
That was actually stronger than just boosting lina to SR!
"So, if I bond the 4th, 5th, and 6th pets... then all the others can get stronger again? Damn, that’s impressive."
George swallowed hard, genuinely shocked.
