Neris wasn't angry at being chased out this time. She could feel that Salin didn't want to do that with Sicar, he just had some private things to say. These words were probably because he didn't want others to know, and he didn't have to do it behind her back.
However, Salin had chased her out just like that. Even with a Silence Barrier, others would think that it was to eliminate the sound that shouldn't be made and wouldn't suspect anything.
Master was getting more and more cunning. Neris leaned against the door and played with the dagger that Salin had given her. This dagger that Salin had reforged for her could no longer be turned into a ring to wear on her finger. It could only be kept in the leather sheath at her waist, and Neris wasn't used to it.
Although she was born with fighting instincts, she didn't have the well-honed fighting skills of humans. Playing with the dagger, Neris thought to herself, I have a lot of free time every day, I should find Zola to learn swordsmanship. Although I promised Master to learn magic, this body is still a demonic bloodline and can't be changed. Shapeshifting can only last for a day at a time. In a real battle, I still have to rely on my physical abilities.
What's hateful is that my bloodline can't cultivate sword energy. The next time I get a fourth ability, I should find a way to get a long-range attack ability, otherwise I won't be able to help Master.
Just as she was thinking, she saw Zola waving at her from the staircase. Neris looked back. Salin had added a magic lock to the door, so no one should be able to break in. That Helene didn't have this ability.
Neris stood up and walked towards Zola. Zola sneakily went down the stairs, and Neris found it funny. A dignified Sword Saint, but he didn't look dignified. The people around Master were all baffled, but their strength was not bad.
"What are you looking for me for?" Neris's expression changed very quickly. Walking down the stairs, she already had an indifferent expression. Her image was originally modeled after the Goddess Myers, and as soon as she put away her smile, she immediately became indescribably cold.
Zola's heart was beating wildly, but Neris was Salin's personal maid, so he didn't dare to have any thoughts now. He could only say, "Neris, I want to ask you about something."
"I'm just a servant. If you have anything, ask Lord Salin."
"It's not good to disturb the Lord now." Zola was considered smart. Seeing that Neris refused but did not leave, he knew that there was more to say.
"Okay, I'm hungry. Go and get me ten servings of food. I'll be waiting for you." Nelis said bluntly.
Jorah lowered his head and immediately ran to the kitchen. There was already a large amount of Red Krill Shrimp meat in the storage box in the kitchen. Zola gently and nimbly cut the shrimp meat for ten people for Nelis. He also added seasoning for himself and served it on a large plate.
Neris sat at the table and ate slowly. Her appetite was no less than Sicar's, but Neris liked to imitate human behavior. When she ate, she looked like Rex.
Zola watched Nelis eat and was even more certain that Salin came from a large family. There were some things that couldn't be learned, unless … unless a demon learned them.
Perhaps others wouldn't learn Rex's demeanor, but Nelis was different. Her senses were sharper than any human powerhouse. From the first time she met Rex, she knew that Rex's every move had the power to affect others. That was the accumulation of a royal family for thousands of years.
Nelis imitated Rex's demeanor perfectly, and this impressed Zola, a very knowledgeable Sword Saint.
Such a perfect woman, yet he made her a maid. Lord Salin was really cruel! Furthermore, this woman might even be an Archmage. Zola became more and more respectful. This phenomenon was extremely rare for him. Even for the daughter of Jupiter the Great, Zola was thinking about how to build a relationship beyond friendship. Facing Nelis, he had less and less confidence.
"Tell me, what do you want to ask?" Nelis ate a few mouthfuls, put down her knife and fork, and gave Zola a faint smile.
"Nothing much. I just feel that Lord Salin doesn't seem to value me very much. I want to ask for your opinion."
Doesn't value you? How could that be? Nelis felt wronged for Salin in her heart. She wanted to eat this guy, but Salin didn't agree. This was a form of true value.
Nelis's face was calm as she replied, "It's easy to get value. Show your strengths, and the master will give you a suitable opportunity."
"But, I have too many strengths!" Zola answered casually, and then regretted it. His words were frivolous, and Nelis might look down on him if she heard it.
"You're not loyal enough." Nelis's words made Zola uneasy. He had seen Salin's methods. He didn't know how Salin succeeded in getting the Three Lords, and he didn't think he was stronger than the Three Lords. Since he had already become Salin's follower, he felt that he was already very loyal.
"I'll be blunt. In my opinion, you're not as loyal as those five Archmages. If I were the master, I wouldn't even bring you on this ship. "
"How is that possible!" Zola felt wronged.
"If the master felt your loyalty, he would personally forge a weapon for you. The tear stains you have now were forged by Ainphent, right? "
Zola fell silent, and his mind was in a mess. After a while, he said, "What can I do? I think if I plan to leave, the master will make me disappear from this world."
"You're not satisfied?"
"No, Master Salin's future achievements will be very high. Even if I become a Gold Sword Saint, it won't be shameful to follow him. However, I just don't know how to gain his trust." Zola knew that Nelis was the closest person to Salin. He couldn't tell Salin this personally, but he could let Salin know through Nelis. So he said it directly and sincerely.
"Salin likes people who do things, not empty words. If you want to obtain the position you deserve by his side, then do it, "Nelis said, and continued to eat her seafood.
"Do what?" Zola was a little confused. His ability was to fight, but Salin seemed to have many strong people around him. He didn't even need to fight in ordinary battles.
"You really want to know?"
"Of course!"
"What benefits do I get?" Nelis changed her expression, and Zola immediately felt friendly.
However, he didn't dare to be reckless, and said, "You're the closest person to the master. What benefits can I give you?"
"Help me do something." Nelis was proud in her heart. Her actions were indeed useful. No wonder Rex had those swordsmen in his hands, and countless people were willing to die for her.
"What is it? Just say it."
"I haven't thought about it yet. If you agree, I'll help you with this." Nelis stopped smiling again. Zola felt tortured, but he couldn't do anything to Nelis.
"Okay, I promise you."
"Don't answer too quickly. Although I don't have Master's ability, if you go back on your promise, your ending will be much worse than you can imagine."
Zola smiled, and said, "Even if you ask me to die, I won't refuse."
"You're used to lying to women, right? I only want to hear this once. The next time you say it, I'll let you die. " As Nelis spoke, she waved at Zola. Zola couldn't help but walk towards Nelis. Nelis's green eyes glowed with a golden light.
She raised her hand and reached out to Zola. A chill rose in Zola's heart, but he didn't dodge. Nelis's finger lightly scratched down on Zola's forehead. Blood seeped out, and a strange symbol was carved on Zola's forehead. Then, Nelis blew on the wound, and the bleeding stopped. Zola felt dizzy, as if he had lost control of his body for a moment.
Zola instinctively retreated. Nelis smiled, and said, "Don't worry. We agreed on one thing, and I won't lie to you. But if you don't do it, hmm, have you seen the Three Lords? "
"I have."
"If you go back on your promise, you'll become a skeleton, and no woman will like you anymore." Nelis smiled viciously, and Zola broke out in a cold sweat. Until now, he still didn't know what Nelis did to his body, but he believed that what Nelis said was true.
Nelis enjoyed looking at Zola's expression. Playing with human souls was really interesting. Unfortunately, she wasn't a Great Demon, and her methods were limited.
Zola was also unlucky. If he knew that Nelis was a Little Demon, he wouldn't have let her fingers touch his body no matter what. Even if he was a Gold Sword Saint, he wouldn't dare to do so. Not to mention that in that instant, he let go of his body's defense, and Nelis carved a Demon Rune on his soul.
Promise one thing? Hmph, after one, there's another, ten, a hundred, a thousand … To dare believe the words of a Demon, this kind of person deserves to be tricked.
"Zola, there's no use in pleasing me. I'm just a servant. If you want to gain Master's trust, it's best to please Sicar. "Nelis received benefits in advance, so she didn't continue to tease Zola.
"Sicar? That's Lord's … "
"It's not like I'm asking you to pursue him. Sicar brought more than three thousand Caucasians to Master. These Caucasians' martial arts are suitable for battle, but not for one-on-one combat. Aren't you a swordsmanship teacher? When you go back, suggest to Master that you don't build an army, and you go be a swordsmanship teacher for Sicar's subordinates. "
"But …"
"Master is a magician, not a noble. What he cares about the most is the people around him. Even if you have the ability to build an army, you're not as good as Duke Rex, right? Why should you give up on your strengths? "
Zola suddenly realized that he had misunderstood Salin's position in the beginning. He had always thought that Salin was someone who wanted to expand his territory and become a king, so he never thought clearly about what he should do. Salin was a magician. He would pursue the true meaning of magic, so how could he waste his life on this?
At the end of the day, Salin just wanted a safe environment where he could cultivate in peace. It seemed like those Caucasians would become Salin's most trusted troops. If he had a good relationship with them, Salin would definitely value him.
"Thank you, Nelis."
