Chapter 296

"Incredible! As an aristocrat, you gave up your superior status and volunteered to become a follower? Are you sure you understand the almost harsh contents of the follower contract?" Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Followers, as the name suggests, are the pursuers and admirers of some people, who are willing to obey each other's leadership and do their best to achieve their goals.

Generally speaking, the followers of mages include three categories.

The first is the nature of cooperation, that is, the two sides do not have a clear primary and secondary relationship, but have the same goal. When there are differences of opinion, they can go their separate ways at any time.

The second is the nature of employment. The mage pays to hire some apprentices, adventurers and mercenaries to explore relics, capture rare animals, or protect themselves. They usually sign a contract for at least a few months, at most a few years or more. When the contract expires, they will naturally restore their freedom. Similarly, although this nature has a certain relationship of command and obedience, it can still be relatively equal in social status, and the employed person has the right to refuse the excessive requirements put forward by the employer.

As for the third kind, which is equivalent to selling or disguised slavery, followers need to sign a contract with magical effect on a voluntary basis. Once the signing is completed, his body, life and soul no longer belong to himself, but to the following mage. The latter can order the former to do anything, even participate in some dangerous experiments that may lead to death, while the latter shall not make any resistance, otherwise they will be painfully punished.

It can be said that except for those unlucky people who are desperate and need the protection and help of powerful mages, few people will choose to become the third kind of followers, even if they are usually the most trusted assistants and servants of mages.

Zenobia clenched her teeth and nodded: "of course! Of course I know the contents of the contract. You can understand that this is a gamble! I bet with everything I have that you are a kind Master, a promising mage. Maybe one day you will get the title of mage, enter the six member Ruling Council and become one of the supreme rulers of the Magic Kingdom.

"Ha ha! Well said! Make a big bet with your life as a chip! Your courage and courage are admirable, miss eblock. But the question is, why do you think I will accept you?" Zhang Cheng asked with a laugh.

He originally thought that the other party was just a young girl with a little plot, just a little warning, but now it seems that things have become a little interesting.

"Why not? I'm the noble daughter of the storm kingdom. Getting me can not only raise your status, but also bring countless convenience and benefits. In addition, I'm also an apprentice with excellent results. I've got very good results in alchemy, magic principle and magic practice. Maybe I can pass the examination in a few years. Please forgive me, you don't have any Reasons for refusal. "

From the most open tension and shame, Zenobia seemed to gradually let go of her state of mind, even no longer covered it with her arms, and showed her proud figure in a big way.

Although she has only two intimate clothes at present, she still reveals a unique pride and confidence of aristocracy.

Looking at the noble girl standing in front of him, Zhang Cheng shook his head and explained: "From the perspective of interests, there are indeed many advantages in accepting you. But now there is a problem. All your assumptions are based on the fact that Duke ello eblock can keep the night town. Imagine that if the night Town no longer exists, will the nobles of the storm Kingdom care about a family that has lost its territory? No, no, they will laugh at it desperately , sarcasm and satire, just as they did to the exiled aristocrats of the kingdom of Lordaeron. "

"But... But didn't you promise to help solve the dead entrenched in crow ridge?" Zenobia trembled obviously, and her face suddenly turned a little pale.

"No, miss, I didn't promise anything. To be exact, we are still negotiating, and the chips in your hand don't satisfy me very much." Zhang Cheng raised his mouth and hinted meaningfully.

"This is the limit I can offer! Sir! Please have mercy on the civilians living in the night Town, otherwise they won't last long." Zenobia fell on her knees and begged bitterly.

Zhang Cheng raised his hand, held the girl's delicate chin, and said in a low tone: "I can agree to your request! But there is an additional condition, that is to convey the content just talked to Jenny intact, so that she can understand the truth you hide under the mask."

"I don't understand!" Zenobia opened her eyes and clenched her fists.

"It's very simple. I want her to understand the danger of the people's heart and the nobility and lowliness of the secular world. It doesn't apply in the magical world. The only thing that can distinguish the status between people here is knowledge and power." Zhang Cheng gently stroked the girl's delicate skin and explained.

"Why do you care so much about her? Do you love her as the truth is rumored?" Zenobia asked loudly with a strong sense of shame.

She did not understand what she could not compare with the young daughter of a businessman, and why little Jenny could get the protection of the opposition, but what she got was indifference.

"Love? No, I don't love anyone. I only love myself."

Zhang Cheng's tone revealed a trace of self mockery, and his eyes became profound and incomparable.

"My important partner, old George, hopes to make the family a higher level in her lifetime. If she wants to do this, little Jenny must bear the corresponding responsibilities and obligations.

First of all, she must break the original respect and fear for the nobility. You happen to be a good negative textbook.

You should know that friendship is a wonderful thing. If you want to maintain it well, you must ensure the most basic trust. Once someone finds that the most trusted friend has been lying to himself, guess what will happen?

This friendship will soon turn into disgust, even hatred.

Coupled with your noble status and humble attitude in front of me, little Jenny can recognize a lot of things.

Now put on your clothes, go and finish what you should do, and then I'll help you get rid of the dead in the Raven ridge tomb. "

"As you wish, sir..."

Zenobia realized that it was useless to say more. She either agreed to additional conditions or refused, and watched the family perish.

"Very good! Please remember, from now on, you are my servant. I will make up a follower contract later." then Chang Cheng stood up and completely ignored the other party's extremely attractive posture on the ground, grabbing the essence of life in the wooden box, and not going back out of the room.

Not long after his front foot left, there was a sound of crying and beating things in the back foot room
