105: Kurosawa, a level 89 Warcraft, that's his...
Ever since the Consultant made contact with the Star Bell Tower, he had heard the name evil omen more than once.
Is this a name? A codename?
Or the name of a certain faction?
But now was clearly not a good time to ask.
"I don't trust you much right now," the Consultant said, looking up at Black Marsh. "I need to make a contract with you to ensure you won't attack me!"
"What contract?"
"It's just a very simple contract, don't worry, I never lie either."
Black Marsh nodded after a long while. "Alright!"
As an Eighth-Order Magical Beast, he had unprecedented confidence in his own strength!
Moreover, having once been a subordinate of the evil omen, he had witnessed countless spells.
So he could tell at a glance that the Consultant's strength was not great.
Even if a contract was signed, Black Marsh believed that once his seal was broken, he would be able to break free from the contract's restraints. At that time, even if he went back on his word, the Consultant would be helpless.
Just as Black Marsh had said, he never lied, but that didn't mean he would tell the truth.
But coincidentally, the Consultant was the same!
Seeing Black Marsh agree, the Consultant smiled.
He held the Slime above his head, and casually held his magic wand, remaining vigilant as he slowly approached Black Marsh.
Black Marsh lay motionless on the ground, allowing the Consultant to approach him.
One step, two steps... Soon, the Consultant stood before Black Marsh.
This was already considered a very dangerous distance.
If Black Marsh were to suddenly lash out now, it would probably only take one bite to 'split' the Consultant in two.
Fortunately, Black Marsh did not move.
The Consultant looked at Black Marsh warily. "Next, I will make a contract with you. You just need to accept it and not resist."
Black Marsh snorted a puff of white air from his nostrils impatiently and nodded without a word.
The Consultant didn't know how to form a contract with a magical beast, so he could only let the system help. He placed his hand on Black Marsh's snake head. "System, begin!"
As he spoke, a strange light appeared before the Consultant. It was a somewhat ethereal red light, like fire... This flickering light shimmered a few times before transforming into a strange symbol that the Consultant didn't understand, landing on Black Marsh's brow.
Immediately after, the Consultant spoke according to the system's prompt:
"King of Serpent Dragons, Black Marsh, I will make a contract with you. Lower your guard, do not resist, just obey!"
The Consultant spoke in as steady a tone as possible.
Black Marsh quietly felt the aura above his head, without any resistance, allowing that uncomfortable sensation to enter his body.
This process did not last long, only a few short seconds.
As the light began to dissipate, the system's voice also appeared in the Consultant's mind.
[Contract successfully completed!]
[Soul-bound Magical Beast: King of Serpent Dragons — Black Marsh.]
[Magical Beast Personality: Chaotic Evil.]
[Magical Beast Level: 89.]
[Magical Beast Attribute: Earth. Upon complete evolution, will gain Dragon attribute.]
[Magical Beast Race: evil omen Ancient Dragon Species — Serpent Dragon Race.]
[Magical Beast Compatibility: 1%.]
[Magical Beast Ability: Unknown.]
The system paused slightly, then spoke again—
[Subduing Black Marsh has granted a certain degree of evolution to Slime and the Host.]
[Current Beast Tamer level increased to: Level 3.]
[Physique: 80]
[Magic Power: 100]
[Strength: 80]
[Spirit: 100]
[Resistance: All increased by 10%]
[Slime Compatibility: 300%]
[Black Marsh Compatibility: 10% (Cannot freely control the magical beast's actions, currently only retains the basic rights as Master.)]
These pieces of information appeared one by one. Although the effect was not outstanding, the Consultant could still feel that he could now constantly monitor Black Marsh's status.
And this feeling was naturally fed back into Black Marsh's body.
"Human... what did you do?!"
Black Marsh sensed that the power of this contract exceeded his imagination. After a low growl, he quickly shook his huge snake head, a hint of murderous intent appearing in his eyes!
Even if it meant being unable to leave this place, Black Marsh did not want to be controlled by a human.
It opened its enormous snake mouth and suddenly lunged at the Consultant.
The Consultant smiled upon seeing this scene.
He stood still, watching Black Marsh come towards him, slowly raising his hand—
"Stop!"
The Consultant's voice was light and had no destructive power, yet Black Marsh's attack uncontrollably halted!
Its foul-smelling maw stopped right in front of the Consultant, its sharp teeth just barely short of piercing the Consultant's body, yet unable to descend another inch!
"Heh heh, trying to break the contract, are we... too late!"
The Consultant watched Black Marsh's actions, let out a cold laugh, then his eyes turned cold, and he waved his hand.
"Kneel before me!"
“...”
Upon hearing the Consultant's words, Black Marsh's massive body trembled, and then... it remained completely still.
"Uh..."
Seeing this, the Consultant's domineering aura, which he had just cultivated, instantly vanished without a trace.
He then realized the system's previous prompt.
He could only retain some of the most basic rights as Black Marsh's Master, which was to control Black Marsh from attacking him.
Aside from that, his commands were completely ineffective!
However, the Consultant was clearly very satisfied with this result, so there was no awkwardness on his face.
His current physical fitness had nearly doubled compared to before, and this was even in his non-mimicry state.
The Consultant grabbed Black Marsh's snake fangs and effortlessly flipped onto its head, smiling at Black Marsh, whose eyes were filled with hatred. He laughed:
"Xiao Hei, as long as you're obedient, my previous deal is still valid."
Black Marsh shook its head in dissatisfaction. Although it couldn't attack the Consultant, it could resist. "Get off my head, human!"
After being bound by the Beast Taming System, Black Marsh also shared some attributes from the Consultant and Slime.
Among them was language ability.
Black Marsh mastered it quite well; in less than five minutes, it was speaking without stuttering. Subsequently, the Consultant began to receive an endless barrage of verbal attacks.
"Get down, human, or I'll break your legs!"
"Did you hear me? Are you deaf? I told you to get down!"
The Consultant was numb all over from Black Marsh's peculiar tone and quickly jumped off Black Marsh's head. He really hadn't expected Black Marsh to become such a chatterbox snake after mastering human language.
"Hmph, kid, I'll give you a chance. If you break the contract, I can let you be my human pet!"
"As long as you apologize and prostrate yourself before this King, when the evil omen returns, I can reward you with a few beauties."
"Didn't you hear me? Speak, damn it!"
"What, are you mute? You were quite talkative just now, why are you quiet now, little chatterbox?!"
The Consultant watched Black Marsh speak sentence after sentence, his mouth twitching slightly. He wiped a spray of saliva from his face and secretly cursed in his heart—
This isn't Black Marsh, damn it!
This is practically a Black Emperor!
