Chapter 389: Chapter 389: ssenger Contract
Yarbede heard Duke’s question and let out a laugh as clear as ice crystal wind chis, tinged with a hint of teasing.
Her violet-black eyes sparkled, seeming to find Duke quite amusing.
"The price?" She tilted her head slightly, a white horn almost touching Duke’s forehead, bringing a trace of coldness.
"My price is that before delivering each ssage, you must... bring
joy once."
As Yarbede spoke, she gazed directly at Duke with those violet-black eyes, as if they could capture souls, filled with candid and provocative hints.
Her slender fingers even gently traced the edge of her armor flickering with a mysterious gloss beneath her collarbone.
Duke received not just language, but far more specific and impactful Spiritual Power information, conveying anings that made his blood surge instantly, his cheeks flushing slightly.
He instinctively glanced quickly at Yarbede’s tall, perfect figure outlined dramatically by tight armor, as well as the face so close, blending holiness with corruption, so beautiful it was breathtaking.
The so-called joy, within the Spiritual Power ssage given by Yarbede, was extrely straightforward and explicit.
Yet Duke quickly regained clarity, knowing that in the presence of such an entity, pursuing joy would only likely cost him his life.
Seeing Duke’s eyes instantly clear, with a flicker of wary caution flashing across his face, Yarbede suddenly leaned back, letting out an even more delighted laugh, carrying a sense of mischievous triumph. The laughter echoed in the empty hall, filled with enchanting allure.
Looking at Duke, Yarbede said, "The price I need is rely a gold coin, the content and weight are irrelevant, just a symbolic gold coin."
"Just a single gold coin?" Duke was stunned; he didn’t expect Yarbede’s price to be so simple, essentially no cost at all.
"Of course, right now besides your body and soul, what else can you offer ? So, to , any price makes no difference." Yarbede laughed.
"How about it? This price, compared to the joyful price earlier, is much easier to accept, isn’t it? Of course, if you prefer that price, I can still alter the conditions."
Yarbede asked with a playful smile, deliberately referring back to the earlier jest.
"No need, Miss Yarbede, a gold coin will suffice, thank you for your generosity." Duke said respectfully.
Though the opponent seed casual, he couldn’t show any disrespect, he must perform adequately.
Being polite before you are able to fight back is always safer, enabling you to live longer.
"Then let’s go with this." Yarbede waved her hand, and a rune diagram ford of Spiritual Power appeared in front, representing the ssenger Contract.
Duke scanned it swiftly with his Spiritual Power, reading through the contents. The contract was straightforward, lacking complex clauses—just an ordinary ssenger Contract.
He cautiously verified it several tis and, upon confirming its accuracy, signed the ssenger Contract with Yarbede.
After signing the ssenger Contract, an imprint appeared in Duke’s mind, allowing him to summon Yarbede in the future to deliver ssages through it.
Upon signing the ssenger Contract, neither party could harm the other deliberately, a fundantal constraint of many contracts, not excluding the ssenger Contract.
With the signing of the ssenger Contract, Duke was at least assured that the other party wouldn’t suddenly attack him, providing so level of safety.
However, he still hadn’t figured out the opponent’s power, worried that such entities might not be restrained by the ssenger Contract, necessitating caution.
"Then, look forward to your first letter, my Mr. Duke." Yarbede chuckled softly, her figure gradually fading.
With the ssenger Contract signed, the effect of the Destiny Bone Dice was nearing its end, faster than initially anticipated.
Yarbede could only temporarily appear here through the power of the Destiny Bone Dice, unable to linger for long.
Moreover, her own power was far too strong, already exceeding the Destiny Bone Dice’s bearing limit, consequently shortening the summoning duration.
As Yarbede departed, the surroundings returned to tranquility.
Yet both Duke and Matthew broke into cold sweats.
The pressure Yarbede exerted on them was imnse, a suppression emanating from the level of life itself, instinctively evoking fear.
The stronger one’s own power, the stronger this feeling becos, with Matthew perceiving it even more acutely than Duke, deeply experiencing Yarbede’s terror.
Throughout, he didn’t even move a finger, too afraid to trigger any defensive asures within the witch array against Yarbede.
Matthew understood that although Yarbede communicated solely with Duke, all of his belongings were under Yarbede’s perception.
He believed that a single reckless move would surely lead to his imdiate death.
Duke’s weaker power ant his sensations were less pronounced, though Yarbede deliberately withheld her aura from targeting him.
Everything happened swiftly, and passed quickly.
If not for the ssenger imprint lingering in his mind, Duke might have thought it rely an illusion.
Yet he wondered to himself, "Why did I summon an entity like Yarbede?"
The extent of Yarbede’s power was unclear, but it was certain to exceed Level 4.
This witch array was ant to constrain power below Level 4; generally, summoned lifeforms exceeding Level 4 couldn’t manifest forces beyond Level 4.
But whether due to the Destiny Bone Dice’s uniqueness or Yarbede’s overpowering strength, the protective witch array here seed ineffective against Yarbede.
Duke suddenly recalled that the summoning process inherently relates to the summoner’s strength.
Typically, the stronger the summoner, the likelier the chance to summon powerful life forms.
If an ordinary Wizard Apprentice attempts a summoning, it’s unlikely to summon a powerful life entity.
Because the essence of summoning involves sending invitations to qualified entities on other planes via the rules of the Endless Plane.
If you’re too weak, no one would bother with you, at most so little creatures like frogs might inadvertently be summoned.
With Duke’s Level 1 Mage strength, he theoretically couldn’t summon an entity of Yarbede’s caliber.
However, he recalled the Divine Status in his mind from the God of Light, which had beco part of his body and soul.
Though not yet fully exerted, it remained within him, part of him.
