Isabella, wearing only her undergarments, sat cross-legged in the magic circle, a little shy.
They were all professionals, so it was reasonable to say that Isabella would not have such an awkward mood. Her close-fitting clothes were also tighter than the several layers of animal hides worn by others, but Neris's whisper beside Salin made her blush.
"Master, this Isabella, when she takes off her robe, her breasts are so big!"
Salin's mouth opened and closed, but nothing came out. He roughly understood the demon's mind. Neris just wanted to study Isabella's weakness.
If he answered, it would seem frivolous.
Fortunately, the treatment began immediately. Nicholas first cast a level-one healing spell on Isabella. This healing spell only covered the surface of Isabella's body, but did not enter her skin. Salin observed carefully and found that although the healing spell did not really touch Isabella, he could see some of the mysteries in Isabella's body.
There seemed to be another space inside Isabella's body, and the shape of this space was exactly the shape of a human. Was this the principle of the existence of the soul? A parallel space in the body?
No, not parallel space, but a completely different space from the elemental world. This space was originally integrated with the elements, but the damage caused by the curse made the outline of this space clear.
Magic above the seventh level was not only about the understanding of the elements, but also about the realm of the soul.
As a ninth-level mage, Nicholas was still very proficient in the treatment of curses. He slowly put one low-level magic after another into Isabella's body. Salin clearly saw that Nicholas gave Isabella the power of life and the power of the soul. The power of the soul was extracted from Nicholas' Pearl of the Soul.
The power of life and the power of the soul were entangled, like a natural three-dimensional magic pattern, bringing a little bit of the power of the contract in Isabella's body.
It turned out to be the power of the contract! Salin was really a little surprised.
But the power of the contract was very weak, and if Salin mastered this skill, he could also dispel it. The essence of the contract was the rule.
The essence of the curse was to use a trace of the rule.
This was beyond the concept of ordinary magic or magic, and was originally something that could only be touched by those above the tenth level. Salin observed patiently. In reality, Nicholas could dispel all the curse power at once, but he divided the treatment process into hundreds of parts, allowing Salin to observe hundreds of times.
Anyway, he was a ninth-level mage. His spiritual power was very strong, so he could hold on.
Isabella didn't realize that the healing process was painless and even a little comfortable. Nicholas was a true mage. He had never practiced any dark magic. If someone from the Inquisition were to treat Isabella, she would probably go crazy. The pain of the soul was far more intense than having your limbs chopped off.
It turned out that rules could also be forcefully changed by force!
Sarlin suddenly understood. Contracts were the most common type of Rule Power, and the contract between him and the Three Sovereigns had gradually loosened, ultimately leading to Banchagana's betrayal. Because the three Sovereigns were of a much higher level than him, it was almost impossible to maintain the rules of the contract forever, especially when it was such a forceful rule.
On the contrary, the follower's contract was more stable, because the power of the contract was borne by both parties. To break such a contract was tens of thousands of times more difficult.
Nicholas spent six hours to extract the last trace of the curse power from Isabella's body and absorb it into the Pearl of Soul. The soul fragments in the Pearl of Soul could naturally digest the curse power.
Salin observed for six hours. Although he still couldn't learn the skill, his understanding of the soul had improved a lot. It would be of great help to him in advancing to the seventh level.
"Nicholas, you've worked hard." Salin smiled.
"Yes, I think she has no hidden dangers. This is good." Nicholas seemed to be a little tired. When he spoke, he was obviously out of breath.
"Then you go and rest first. I have something to say to Isabella."
"Yes." Nicholas got up and walked out of the empty room.
Isabella opened her eyes and bowed to Salin. She said, "Thank you, my Lord. I didn't expect that the Divine Healing Spell could strengthen my understanding of the elements. I think I can definitely advance to the seventh level in ten years!"
She was very happy. This result was too unexpected. She thought that if she got rid of the damage caused by the Divine Healing Spell, she would need at least ten years to recover to the standard of a sixth level mage. She didn't expect Nicholas's healing to be so fast and thorough. The magic strings in her body actually began to slowly grow and recover.
At most a few months, she would be able to recover to the peak of the sixth level. Then, it would not be difficult to become a Magic Shooter in ten years.
She was still not old. If she could become a seventh level Magic Shooter before the age of forty, she might be able to go further and rush to the ninth level. Of course, Isabella didn't know that Salin still had the Six Dimensional Space. If she knew, she wouldn't have tested Salin in the first place. Instead, she would have given everything she had.
Because if she could become a seventh level Magic Shooter before the age of forty, the possibility of breaking through to the ninth level would be more than fifty percent. For a normal mage, reaching the ninth level before the age of two hundred was already considered a genius. Most of the people who reached the ninth level before the age of a hundred spent a lot of money and had the guidance of a brilliant teacher. They also needed the help of the Magic Tower.
"Ten years?" Salin laughed. In his own shrine, the speed of magic training was much faster than outside. Isabella was much more talented than him. She just lacked the guidance of a good teacher.
"My Lord, I didn't …"
"I know you're not bragging. I'm saying that you will become a ninth level Magic Shooter within ten years. I can guarantee that," Salin said mysteriously.
Isabella's surprise made her forget to put on her coat. She looked at Salin in confusion. Salin was at least a fifth level mage. He looked like he was already a sixth level mage. A mage of this level would not speak nonsense. Especially since Salin was her Lord, she would not lie to her subordinates.
Lying to a follower would cause a backlash from the contract.
"Isabella, are you tired?"
"I'm fine," Isabella answered subconsciously.
"Then put on your coat first. Let's have a chat." Salin was not sleepy at all. He wanted to know if Isabella could spread the technique of practicing magic and martial arts at the same time. This was very important. If she could master it, it would improve a mage's ability to survive.
Mages were afraid of being approached by assassins, especially low-level ones. Even Magic Shooters would have a headache when faced with assassins like Byrne.
Fortunately, it was more difficult for assassins to advance. Mages always stood at the peak of power. However, before reaching the peak, mages would be harassed by assassins and could easily fall.
It was like a ninth level magical beast's cub could be eaten by a low-level magical beast.
Salin brought Isabella to the dining hall on the second floor. It was already past midnight. Fortunately, half of the servants were undead. These undead did not need to sleep as long as they had energy to replenish themselves.
Isabella was not sleepy, but she was hungry. After being healed by a mage of Nicholas' level, ordinary people did not need to sleep for three to five days, not to mention a mage with strong spiritual power.
Salin was also hungry. He ate with Isabella, and Neris waited on the side. Isabella could not help but stare at Neris, using magic memory to remember Neris's appearance in her heart.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm Neris, master's contracted creature from the Demonic Plane." Neris's identity was no longer a secret. In order to kill the Undead Lord on the city wall, she revealed her true form.
Isabella almost choked. Neris continued, "You are master's follower, I won't trouble you, unless …"
"Neris, don't scare her." Salin stopped her.
Neris lowered her head and said, "Yes, master."
"Introduce Isabella to my followers and let her familiarize herself with the environment." Salin said.
"Yes, master." Neris looked obedient, but Isabella did not dare to underestimate this beautiful maid with a noble appearance.
"Well, master doesn't have many followers. The worst one is Daniel, who hosted the competition yesterday. Although his strength is average, he is very loyal and helps master deal with the daily affairs of Metatlin City. You have to maintain a certain amount of respect for him. "
Isabella nodded to show her understanding.
"As for the others, you can't afford to offend them, so if there is any conflict between you and them, you'd better come to the director and clear things up. Well, I know that followers are not allowed to fight, but you are a mage. There are always some tricks to bypass the contract. "
Isabella did not say anything. She also knew that as a follower of a mage, there were also benefits. At least Salin would provide complete help for her cultivation in the future. What she was most worried about was that Salin would not treat her as well as the followers he had previously taken in. If there was no fairness, then no matter how good the treatment she could obtain, she would not be willing to accept it.
"Master has a follower who is not in Metatlin City. He followed Duke Rex to Kushui County to fight. That person is called Su, a silver sword saint. Also, I have four followers under me. They are all demons, so you have to be careful. Of course, if you are angry, you can also find me. I will teach those guys a lesson for master's sake. "
Isabella could not eat anymore. After listening to Neris's introduction, she realized that Salin did not lie to her. Almost all of Salin's followers were very powerful. The weakest were of course the mages from Seriger Island. However, those mages were very united. Offending one was equivalent to offending everyone. There were already five mages from Seriger Island who had advanced to rank 6. Although the rest were relatively weak, these five rank 6 mages were enough to suppress the situation.
Seeing that Neris was almost done, Salin said, "Isabella, can you teach your skills to others?"
