Lathel: "…" ( ￣ ￣ |||)
'Why the hell is this na as long as a highway?'
"Okay, Cauldron."
"No! You must call by my full na, ordinary human, my na is Heavenly… Ah! Wait! Stop, you can call Cauldron. Don't go!"
Lathel stopped walking, he sighed and said: "Cauldron, actually, I don't want to waste too much ti with you, you understand."
"Um… I… I understand." Cauldron said, its voice filled with worry.
"So… what can you do?"
Cauldron smiled and said: "? Hahaha… Ouch! No, I won't laugh anymore. Hm… I can help you get everything you want like fa, power, won…etc."
"I can even help you beco the lord of this world."
"As long as you sign a contract with and beco my loyal servant, you will have everything. After you die, your soul will forever belong to , hahaha…"
Hearing that, Lathel imdiately turned around and left.
He wasn't stupid. If he were a resident of this world, when he heard what the cauldron said, he would have definitely been extrely interested, and greed would imdiately take over his mind.
However, the cauldron was wrong, he was a traveler, a transmigrator who ca to this world thanks to another god.
He knew clearly that no one could beco the lord of this world except the main character.
Besides… Lathel was not interested in the benefits the Cauldron offered.
Why?
Because he has a 'sign in system', every day, as long as he signs in, he will get a gift.
Lathel believed that if he lives long enough, he will have everything in his hands thanks to the system.
That's why, what the Cauldron said was completely aningless to him.
Besides... to get what the Cauldron offered, Lathel needed to sell his soul to Cauldron.
Lathel was also not a stupidly greedy person who would sell his soul just for a small gain.
Seeing Lathel turn to leave without hesitation, the cauldron shouted: "Wait! You... don't you need to consider my proposal? You should know that you can beco the lord of this world."
"I have no interest in becoming a lord or anything like that." Lathel didn't turn around, he slowly walked towards the door while answering.
"I will help you gain power, fa, won…"
"I will get those things myself with my own abilities."
"You… Okay, I will accept whatever you want, just let out of here." Cauldron shouted.
Lathel suddenly stopped walking. He glanced at the Cauldron, rubbed his chin and thought for a mont, then said: "If I sign a contract with you, after i die, will you take my soul?"
"That's right."
"Hm… strange, what do you need my soul for?"
"To eat!"
Lathel: "…"
"What do you eat souls for? Can you only survive by eating souls?"
"Hm… I don't know either. Since I started thinking, I only had one thought in my mind: to find soone to sign a contract with. After that person dies, I will take that person's soul as food."
Lathel rubbed his chin, he looked at the cauldron like a scientist, It was as if he was looking at sothing strange and he wanted to study it.
"Oy! Your eyes make feel a little scared." Cauldron shouted.
Lathel did not answer him but continued to ask: "How long have you been here?"
"Hm… About 10,000 years ago."
"Ah! So in the past 10,000 years, have you eaten anyone's soul?
"No."
"Good! So that ans you don't need to eat other people's souls to survive, right? Then why do you eat souls?"
Cauldron: "…"
'Hm… sothing seems very wrong but I don't know what is wrong.'
"Ah! No, what the hell are you talking about?" Cauldron shouted: "This is an exchange. I will help you get what you want. After you have what you want, I will take what I want."
"This is a fair exchange."
Lathel pouted and said: "You are just an old cauldron that has grown roots in this place for more than 10,000 years, what can you do?"
"? Hahaha… Oy! Don't go, I'm just laughing a little." Cauldron quickly shouted: "I... I can help you beco the greatest Pharmacist Enchanter."
Lathel: "…"
Cauldron: "…"
"Is that all?"
"Heh?! Do you know what a Pharmacist Enchanter is?"
Lathel shook his head: "I don't know, and I don't care."
"You…"
"Alright." Lathel interrupted the Cauldron's words: "You cannot convince , the negotiation is over. You will continue to stay here for another 10,000 years, bye bye..."
"Oy! Oy! Oy!" Cauldron was really in a hurry now: "You…what do you want. You can set the conditions, as long as they are reasonable, I will definitely help you."
"Really?" Lathel imdiately turned his head to look at the Cauldron.
The cauldron saw the look in Lathel's eyes and imdiately felt extrely uneasy.
"You… I an…"
"Hmm? What do you an?" Lathel narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with nace as he looked towards Cauldron.
"What I an is…" Cauldron faltered: "If… if the conditions you propose are reasonable, I can compromise."
Lathel frowned and thought: "Hm… If that's the case, I'll change the conditions a bit. You will help with the things you can help with, if you agree then I can take you to see the outside world, okay?"
"What?! Why the hell are we looking at the outside world? No, I will help you get everything you want, but I can only look at the outside world. Do you think I'm a stupid cauldron?"
Hearing the cauldron shout, Lathel was unconcerned, he just smiled and said: "Cauldron, you still haven't heard out. First of all, the only thing you can do for is to support in becoming a Pharmacist Enchanter, right?"
"Huh! You think it's that simple..." The cauldron said angrily: "Do you know that being a Pharmacist Enchanter is enough to make everyone respect you?"
"If you beco a high-level Pharmacist Enchanter, even the king of a country will have to bow to you."
"Wait!" Suddenly Lathel spoke: "You said you've been in this place for more than 10,000 years, right?"
"That's right." Cauldron imdiately responded.
"So… Do you know how much the outside world has changed?"
"Heh?!" the cauldron was silent. That's right, it has been here for more than 10,000 years, so it didn't know how the outside world had changed.
"Sigh…" Lathel sighed: "100 years is enough for the whole world to change completely. You have been here for 10,000 years, how do you know that a Pharmacist Enchanter is still a profession respected by others?"
"I… this…" The cauldron faltered.
"10,000 years, not 1 year or 10 years." Lathel said: "It's been such a long ti, let alone whether a profession is still respected or not, I'm afraid even a country won't last that long."
"But…"
Lathel didn't give the cauldron ti to think, as he continued speaking.
"Cauldron, you need to accept this fact. Besides… you said you would turn into a great Pharmacist Enchanter, but that is a profession that requires talent to learn."
"What if I don't have the ability to beco a Pharmacist Enchanter? In that case, the contract between you and I is not fair."
Hearing that, the cauldron felt that thus was extrely reasonable: "So... what do you want?"
Lathel kept his face calm, however, inside he was laughing loudly.
He looked hesitant and was thinking carefully. After a while, Lathel smiled and said: "Okay, I will write out a contract. After you see the contract, you can accept it or not."
"If you don't accept it, it will be as if we've never t. I will leave this place, while you continue to wait for soone who can sign a contract with you, okay?"
The Cauldron didn't even think, as he imdiately agreed.
Because Lathel couldn't find paper, he used a wooden stick and wrote in dust on the floor.
The cauldron waited for Lathel to write.
5 minutes…
10 minutes…
20 minutes…
30 minutes…
An hour later, Lathel finally finished writing.
Cauldron looked up at the ground and felt scared: "Is this... that much?"
That's right, on the ground was a docunt more than 2 ters long and 1 ter wide, it was as if Lathel had just copied a part of the bible onto the ground.
Lathel nodded and smiled and said: "That's right. Don't worry, in short, you will help with the things you can help with, then we can go see the outside world together."
"Of course, I won't force you to do extrely difficult things. The things you will help with are all within your ability."
The Cauldron looked at the contract on the ground and felt a bit of a headache.
"Good! Just read carefully, if you agree, you can tell ." Lathel finished speaking and sat on the ground waiting for the Cauldron.
Cauldron read the contract that Lathel wrote three tis, but it felt nothing strange.
Although the contract was long, most of the terms within the contract revolved around the Cauldron not doing anything to harm Lathel.
"Well? Do you accept it?
Hearing Lathel's question, the Cauldron hesitated: "In fact, the contract you just wrote is very perfect, without any holes at all."
"However… I feel like I am at a bit of a disadvantage. I have to help you, and protect you, but you are only helping visit the outside world."
"Hmm?!" Lathel suddenly frowned: "So... do you want to do anything more?"
"Ack! Its like this… like this, if you add a condition that… you will help replenish my energy, then I will imdiately sign a contract with you."
"Replenish your energy… How?"
"Simple, I just need to absorb soul energy."
