After a moment of silence, Marni, who Gerald appeared to be enigmatic and had to think carefully before doing anything, was actually chatting wildly with his friends on the forums.
[The Invincible Marni Never Falls: Pink Flatfish]
[Pink Flatfish: Mister Marni, did I brag to you before I left?]
[The Invincible Marni Never Falls: What did you say to that noble? He looked like he was about to poke his nose into the skies just a moment ago, and now he's such a coward?]
[Pink Flatfish: I said you're a bro of death!]
[Call me Doug Ag: Aren't you bragging a little too much? Aren't you afraid that Lord Hades would notice?]
[Pink Flatfish: How is that bragging?! Think about it, lil Edward. Who in this world has died more than Mister Marni? Can any Player, let alone most people, jump between life and death so many times?!]
[Call me Doug Ag: Can't afford to offend him.]
[Pink Flatfish: By the way, is it really fine on your side, Mister Marni? Wouldn't your business be affected if you purposely do something like that and get on their bad side?]
[The Invincible Marni Never Falls: It's something we have to do.]
[The Invincible Marni Never Falls: After all, there would be a day when we would have enough Reputation and no longer accept their quests. They would definitely hate all Players due to the huge gap between them, and worse still, if some scoundrel were to stir up trouble, that hate might turn into hatred …]
[The Invincible Marni Never Falls: That's why we can't just go along with their whims. We have to show our own temper and ability, so that they would be wary when they order the Players around.]
[Pink Flatfish: As expected of Mister Marni! I don't understand what you're talking about, but it sounds amazing!]
[The Invincible Marni Never Falls: …]
[Warrior Princess: Come to think of it, Mister Marni really is amazing. The EXP he drops after his death alone might be enough to push a Player straight up to Level 50.]
[Call me Doug Ag: That means Mister Marni is the true number one Player! Edward, come out and take a beating!
I'm Muscle Man: Doug, Edward is right behind you.
Warrior Princess: Is Mr. Doug still there?
Pink Flatfish: Dog egg?
Pink Flatfish: 'It's over. He didn't even say anything when I called him Gou Dan. Looks like he's dead.'
[The Invincible Marni Never Falls: Pink Flatfish, I've learned your awesomeness!] Good job. This time, apart from the game coins we agreed on, I can also give you an additional piece of Blue Excellent-grade armor. You can choose any position.
I'm Muscle King: "Chest armor! Using the most materials was the most cost-effective!
Warrior Princess: … You can't just count equipment like that, right? The drop rate of chest armor seemed to be quite high.
Call Me Doug Ag: Actually, according to my recent research, the current equipment system is flawed!
[Warrior Princess: Ah, I'm alive.]
I'm Muscular Tyrant: Doug died and went back to town. Originally, Jessica wanted to revive him, but we suddenly ran into a Level 33 Elite monster. Before we could revive him, the resurrection time expired, and he activated the Resurrection Ankh …
[Call Me Doug Ag: According to my research, many countries' armor actually have extra crotch guards! Most of them are U-shaped, protecting even the anus at the back! Moreover, that part is separate from the pants, since most female armor doesn't have crotch guards.]
[Call Me Doug Ag: But we Players don't have a crotch guard in our equipment section! What does that mean?]
[Call Me Doug Ag: It means that the God of Games never noticed the existence of crotch guards. In other words, the God of Games might be a goddess!]
[I'm Muscle King: Oh, that's reasonable and convincing!]
[System Notification: Player 'Call Me Doug Ag' is fined 1,000 game coins and his account is banned for 24 hours for defamation.]
[System Notification: Player 'I'm Muscle King' is fined 500 gold and his account is banned for 12 hours for being an accomplice.]
Warrior Princess: …
Pink Flatfish: …
[The Invincible Marni Never Falls: …]
Turning his attention away from the Player forums, Marni cleared his throat and told Gerald, "Actually, it's not like you can't abandon your current faith, but the contract wouldn't be fulfilled."
"What should Gerald do, then?" The noblewoman asked Marni in Gerald's stead.
"I've added a clause when I wrote the contract: if the loser doesn't fulfill the contract due to various reasons, the winner could make certain requests."
"What request? Just tell me. "The noblewoman looked as if she was begging for anything.
Marni naturally wouldn't take her words seriously.
He glanced at Gerald and noticed that the level marker over his head had changed to Level 36 after his fight with Mufasa. He couldn't help thinking that Gerald was quite a talent, and that he might be able to try poaching him.
If that was the case, it would be a challenge to make any requests.
In the eyes of many nobles who prioritized profit above all else, everything had a price tag. If he asked for too much, Gerald would probably choose to abandon Gerald.
But Gerald was right beside him, and he would be able to see everything he did. His hatred for being abandoned by his former master would definitely be transferred to Marni, and it would be good enough if he didn't get buried in a collapsed wall, let alone poach him away …
On the other hand, if he asked for too little, Gerald might just turn around and pay it off, which was meaningless.
It would be a little difficult to get the Lancaster mayor's faction to give up on Gerald with pure profit.
That being the case, why not start with Gerald's own thoughts and thoughts?
Marni was quite confident in the Players' ability to assimilate. After spending some time with the Players, no matter how aloof they were, they would eventually become idiots — the wood elves in Trinia who approached the Players on their own seemed to be developing in that direction.
And after becoming a fool, the best place to stay in this world was the Church of Games.
Hence, Marni cleared his throat and made his request. "If that's the case, Mister Gerald, please be my guard for a while."
