Chapter 8 - Recruiting Alan

Alan looked at me and said," ok, state your terms and conditions".

I soon wrote the contract in which we will bring our ingredients and Alan will be responsible for cooking and his salary is one gold a month, in addition, if we want to eat extra time then he had the right to charge a maximum of 1 silver coin, which may increase over time. And the last but the most important point, please don't betray your team members.

Alan looked at the condition and he was surprised to see such a simple contract. He once again asked me," are you sure".

I nodded and said," I am sure, can you tell me how much time limit to be set".

Alan said," Lifetime".

After the contract was signed, it flew inside our bodies. Then I asked Alan to make more barbeques.

Wait I bought two sticks for myself and I ate only one piece, where did my other piece go.

I turned around and saw Lina, eating at a very fast speed.

When she saw me she hurriedly ate the barbeque on her plate and started chewing.

I asked her," Have you seen anyone who took my barbeque".

She pretended to not listen to me and kept eating the food.

I knew she stole the food, so I looked at Alan hopefully he could make barbeque fast.

After eating the food, we were very satisfied. Then I said," Alan if you take your sister to the priest for healing her, many people will recognise you, So I can rent a hut where you can live with your sister".

Alan also knew the problem and said," Okay I will leave Lisa to you".

Well was the cloak so as not be recognised. We three all wore the black cloak, which kept our identity hidden, except for level, and health all were hidden.

Alan's home was in bad condition, many things were broken. He had to hide and live inside the basement, as all other things had been destroyed.

Alan went near the door of the basement, and he knocked on the door, three times and repeated this rhythm five times. Soon the door was opened and a girl who looked six years old called, "Alan you are back".

Alan nodded and said," these two are the people who will help us".

He didn't explain much to Lisa and said," we are moving out of the house".

Lisa didn't say much, during these days of living in pain, her thinking had matured, she also knows no one wants to help them. Unless Alan promised the contract.

She looked at us and said," What conditions did you give Alan to follow you, give up his contract, I will follow you, I serve you guys, cleaning, washing, cooking...Alan will help me, yes I am saying give up his contract and wait for Alan why are you getting angry, I will release you from the contract".

Looking at the lively girl in front of me, we were speechless.

Lisa looked at Lina and said," Sister this bad guy forced you to sign the contract right".

I had a black line on my forehead.

Lina couldn't help laugh and said," Yes this bad guy forced me to sign the contract, and he always sends me to face the beast alone". She made a pitiful look.

Lisa said," Bad guy release the sister from the contract or else I will curse you, I am telling the truth see there are blisters, which can be used as a curse".

I didn't pay attention to the curse before, now that I saw it closely, her body was filled with blisters all over her body. So I went near her.

Lisa was nervous when she saw coming me near her.

I looked at the nervous Lisa and said," Come and curse me, I will release from the contract".

Then I went near her and hugged her, Lisa was at a loss," are you not afraid of the curse".

I looked at her and said," well stop acting now, let's go of the loneliness, you can cry to your heart content".

Lisa cried for a long time, and then she fell asleep. Looking at her I felt it was full of sympathy. At her age, many children let go of the worry and play, and here she had to live inside a darkroom in fear. She had no one to accompany her as Alan had to go out and work. Anyone living like this will go sane, yet she still had a cheerful expression. Think about it if you were in her situation," what would you do".

I swore and decided to take revenge most cruelly. I would always make them live in fear. I am not a saint either, but now he is my teammate, if I can't get rid of his problem, how can I face him.

Alan who saw this also started crying, after crying for a while he stopped and then once again said," I will never betray you".

I showed the sunny smile, and said," let go of the past, we will come back and take revenge in the future".

Then I looked at Lisa and murmured," sleep well little guy, after you wake up you will be free from the curse".

Then I wrapped her in cloth and brought her to church. The priest who came to heal was a middle-aged man and, he cast the advanced healing spell. A dark skull like a shadow came out of Lisa and then it was destroyed.

Lisa body soon started to heal and all the blisters were gone, the skin looked new and if I wouldn't have seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that she was cursed.

Then I said," Alan have you awakened any talent".

Alan shook his head and said, "I was busy earning money, I didn't have enough money to awaken the talent".

Then I said," let's go and awaken the talent".

While wearing a cloak we came inside the awakening building, soon Alan chance came.

He came near the awakening crystal and then followed the procedure. He was surrounded by holy light, and he had a cross in his hand. The aura given by the cross was (red).

The most sacred level of profession was born. There was the vision of a cross appearing in the sky.

I looked at the scene speechless, hey I wanted to be a low key person, but why all the people following me are so talented.. The vision made by Alan made many people rushed towards the awakening building.
