"Sign a contract with me and become my familiar."
Ryuga did not hesitate. She skillfully threatened Fittoria. "After all, our relationship is not that good. There is no reason for me to send you back, is there?"
Let alone being friendly, the relationship between the two sides could even be considered as enemies.
If Ryuga had not broken the barrier of the Forest of Confusion, Fittoria would still be roaming freely across the continent. There was no way she would be defeated by the Esders and sent here by Ryuga.
Theoretically speaking, it was completely reasonable for Fittoria to hate Ryuga.
And yet, she had a favor to ask of Ryuga.
After being teleported to World's End, Fittoria quickly recovered her body's heat due to her immense life force. However, after being exiled, she had no idea how to return to her own world.
Even after arriving in this small auxiliary world, she was still unable to find a way to return to her own world.
As there was no time scale in this small world, she did not know how long she had been here. All she knew was that as time passed, her desire to return grew stronger.
Due to this, she needed to borrow Ryuga's power to return to her own world. Only then could she return to the Forest of Confusion and complete her mission.
"Ugh …"
Fittoria lowered her head and whimpered. A look of unwillingness appeared on her face. "This condition is too much … … apart from the hero who can save the world, Fittoria will not obey anyone."
She was raised by the Hero of the Four Saints. Although she had a good impression of humans, they had disappointed her several times. Thus, she decided to ignore them.
Thus, Fittoria would only treat the Hero of the Four Saints favorably. As for the others, they had become his familiars. Even if they lived or died, Fittoria did not care.
"That's that. If you don't agree, I can't bring you back. With my strength, you can't force me."
Ryuga's face was full of determination, but when she saw Fittoria's awkward expression, her expression softened and she deliberately thought for a while.
"However, this might indeed be too difficult for you, the Queen of Filo Birds … Since that's the case, how about adding a time limit? Also, we can sign an equal contract. I won't force you, but you still have to work for me. "
The so-called equal contract referred to a partnership contract. Unlike an absolute contract, Ryuga couldn't control the life and death of the familiar. However, as long as some of the terms of the contract were changed, Ryuga could still obtain more control over the familiar.
"Term … Equal Contract …"
Fittoria paused for a moment, then lowered her head and pondered for a moment. "If that's the case, it's not impossible to discuss … How long will it take?"
"A thousand years."
When Ryuga heard this, it was as if she had seen a fish that had taken the bait. She immediately demanded an exorbitant price. "After a thousand years, I can return your freedom."
"A thousand …!"
When Fittoria heard this, her blood-red bird eyes instantly widened. She looked like she was about to suffocate. "That's too long. Fittoria can't accept it. The most I can do is five hundred years!"
"Deal."
When Ryuga saw this, she didn't have any intention of bargaining. She agreed immediately and said very decisively, "Then five hundred years it is. In five hundred years, you will be my familiar. After five hundred years, you can leave or stay."
"…"
Fittoria opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.
She tilted her head. She felt that something wasn't right. However, when she thought about it carefully, there didn't seem to be anything wrong … Was she at a disadvantage?
This bird didn't seem to be very smart.
Ryuga glanced at Fittoria and thought so in her heart.
Previously, Ryuga had already discovered that although Fittoria had lived for more than a thousand years and had been cheated countless times in the human society, due to the limited memory of her brain, she had already forgotten most of the things in the past.
To her, although she might remember that humans weren't good people, she had already forgotten all the tricks that humans had used to cheat her. Therefore, she didn't have the slightest bit of defense against Ryuga's tricks.
Therefore, the expression on her face had always been so ignorant. She looked like a natural airhead.
However, when he really interacted with her, Ryuga realized that Fittoria didn't look like a natural airhead. She was really airheaded.
No wonder she had lived in the human society for more than two hundred years, but she was still cheated by humans. This was all because of her unintelligent brain.
In fact, Ryuga had only intended to let Fittoria be his familiar for five years. The deal he had with Esders back then was only for a year.
However, he didn't expect Fittoria to be so stupid and fall into his trap so easily. She didn't know the essence of bargaining at all. In an instant, Ryuga had gained five hundred times more.
"Alright, since we've reached an agreement, let's sign the contract."
As Ryuga said so, he raised his hand and used his fingers to draw lines of runes in the air, forming a contract.
Fittoria pouted slightly. Although she was the Queen of the Philo Birds and couldn't bring herself to regret, thinking about it carefully … she still couldn't take it lying down!
Ryuga didn't lie. What he used was an equal contract.
If it was an absolute contract, as long as the other party was the least bit unwilling, it would never succeed. Fittoria only agreed to sign an equal contract with him. Once an absolute contract was used, it would automatically fail.
Moreover, when signing the contract, even if the other party didn't understand the corresponding words, they would naturally understand the meaning of the payment. After all, this was a contract of the mind and cause and effect. There was no way to fake it.
Even Liu Xia could only try her best to gain as much control as possible during the contract process.
By the way, the medium Ryuga used was a drop of his blood. Fittoria was a very powerful creature. If it wasn't for Esders' powerful combination of Spacetime Freeze and Heat Absorption, the ghost and bird might not have won yet. It was completely worth Ryuga's blood as the price.
"Hmm … this blood isn't normal blood. Fittoria can feel her life force become much stronger."
Fittoria sucked Ryuga's blood into her stomach and felt a burst of life force bursting out from her stomach, radiating throughout her body. She couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
Because Fittoria's Queen of the Philo Birds bloodline was too powerful, this drop of blood didn't transform her into a ghost. However, it gave her an incredibly powerful self-healing ability, just like the Flying Dragon when he first became Ryuga's familiar in the Akame Slayer world.
"Fittoria, do you know where this is?"
After signing the contract, Ryuga relaxed and asked Fittoria.
