"Follower of a Wizard?" Lin Sheng repeated in surprise.
"Yes. I hope to use your resources and guidance to reach a higher position! "Lidou answered seriously.
In the eyes of others, she had trained hard and became a rank 7 apprentice in just a few years. This should be considered a good talent.
But only she could feel that her magic power growth was about to stop.
"But I don't need a follower." Lin Sheng shook his head. He had too many secrets. He wasn't suitable for a follower or an assistant.
A Wizard's follower was actually a follower. These people would offer their power to their master, but at the same time, they would receive resources from their master.
Most importantly, the follower's contract was for life. They needed to sign a fair contract.
This was equivalent to a lifetime relationship between a boss and an employee.
It was even more intimate. At the very least, the boss had no obligation to help when the employee's family was in trouble. But when the follower's family was in trouble, the master had to help.
"I've already grasped a lot of theoretical knowledge about mid-tier constructs. I've also successfully made a rolling ball myself. I might not be able to help with the core design and enchantment. But the production process and other aspects can be left to me. "
Lidou quickly pointed out her advantages.
"But I really don't need a follower." Lin Sheng shook his head and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, Senior Sister. Actually, I don't have much to teach you."
* Bang. *
Before he finished, Lidou had already stood up and took a step back. She knelt on one knee and pressed her forehead against the ground.
"I really, really need this job." Lidou suppressed her words, but there was a hint of unwillingness and fear.
As the descendant of a Grand Knight family, she gave up on the path of a Knight and walked the path of a Wizard. Naturally, she had her own difficulties.
If she couldn't become a Wizard, then what awaited her when she returned would be an unimaginable fate.
Only in the outside world would she have a chance to survive.
Just like how she knelt in front of Dora's door for three days and three nights. In the end, she moved Dora with her strong willpower and was accepted as a disciple by a high-tier Wizard even though she was only a low-tier Wizard.
But that was all.
Dora had students every year. Lidou was just an exception that she accepted out of soft-heartedness.
If she couldn't become a Wizard, she wouldn't acknowledge Lidou as her disciple.
In this way, Li Dou would not be able to use her teacher's influence to return home and turn the situation around.
After careful consideration, comparison, and observation.
Lidou finally made such a decision.
If Lin Sheng hadn't appeared, she would've gone with Henry. If necessary, she would've even considered taking the initiative to get together with Henry. With the help of his teacher's official disciple, he could go back and turn the situation around.
But now there was a better option.
If she had a choice, she would never have chosen Henry.
That guy was lazy, fickle, and had low aptitude. He didn't seem to have much potential for development.
But Lin Sheng was different.
This little prodigy had broken through the barrier of an official mage in just a few short months. This kind of breakthrough gave Li Dou a lot of shock and envy.
The stimulation from Lin Sheng made her crazily study meditation for the past six months.
However, it was a pity that apart from increasing her theoretical knowledge, which allowed her to become a rank 7 Apprentice.
In terms of magic power, she was getting closer to the limit of her aptitude.
Lin Sheng looked at Lidou, who was kneeling on the ground, and felt a little helpless.
He had already said so much. It would've been fine if she was an outsider, but she was still his senior apprentice sister whom he had known for a long time.
In the end, he still couldn't bring himself to do it.
He could only …
He could only think of a more tactful way to reject her.
He, Lin Sheng, had never been one to be persuaded by force or persuasion. She wanted to force him to agree just by kneeling? How could there be such a good thing in the world?
"Actually, I'm really not a suitable person. However, if Senior Apprentice Sister is willing, you can find a suitable mage for me and let you be my follower."
Lin Sheng said softly.
"I've looked. Teacher doesn't care about me anymore … "Lidou raised her head, her expression calm. However, her large eyes were slightly watery.
Lin Sheng was silent.
In a sense, Dora was not a kind person. Most of the time, her temper was cold and indifferent.
She treated him well because of his aptitude, and also because of his uncle.
But towards others, her attitude was completely different.
"If it really doesn't work, I can be your personal maid and take care of your daily life. In terms of experiments, I can also help you process a lot of materials and complete more basic structures. So, even a master-servant contract is fine! "Lidou said seriously and calmly.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lin Sheng now had great potential.
From what she knew, if it wasn't for the fact that Lin Sheng had offended someone important in the Lanying Tower, if it wasn't for Teacher Dora silently stopping many beautiful female acolytes who wanted to sleep with him.
Lin Sheng's doorstep would've been trampled to death by people.
After all, Lin Sheng, who was only seven years old, was already 1.5 meters tall. He was the height of a teenager.
"How about this, I don't need your help with experiments. Normally, without my permission, you are not allowed to come to the experimental area.
As for the living area, I need you to help me arrange food, clothing, and lodging. At the same time, you need to receive guests. If it's not very important, you can help me deal with them. After that, I'll occasionally need your help with some trivial matters.
As for your salary, I'll give you a standard hundred gold a month. That should be fine, right? As for the contract, there's no need to sign it. "
"Everything else doesn't matter, but you must sign the contract." Lidou replied seriously, "Whether it's for you or for me, this contract is a guarantee."
The contract had to be registered in the Temple of Justice's database.
The Temple of Justice was connected to the world. No matter where, as long as one went through a specific ritual and called a specific name, the God of Justice's priest would be able to check the contents of the contract.
In other words, without this contract, even if she returned, she would not be able to use Lin Sheng's influence to reverse the decline of the territory.
Lin Sheng quickly thought of this as well.
"I understand." He nodded, "Then let's sign the contract." She would be his servant.
"Please don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you!" Lidou's cold face revealed unwavering confidence.
If she could not obtain the power she wanted, then she would borrow the power of others. No matter what, she would definitely not let her father or the territory of the family fall into such a desperate situation.
After confirming their relationship, Lidou quickly stood up and took out the contract document that she had prepared.
It was densely filled with all kinds of obligations and rights.
The pale yellow sheepskin scroll was filled with beautiful crimson words.
Lin Sheng reached out to take it and carefully read through it. On it were all restrictions and obligations for Lidou, but for the master mage, there were almost no restrictions.
It could be seen that she had lowered herself very much.
No matter what Lin Sheng did to her, she could accept it. And there was only one condition.
As a servant, she could receive the basic protection of Lin Sheng's life.
In other words, if someone wanted to kill her, Lin Sheng had to save them.
But this condition was actually very vague. The basic protection of life, disability, and paralysis were also basic protection.
Therefore, to a large extent, it depended on the conscience of the master.
Also, this rescue also depended on whether or not the master's safety was threatened. If there was a threat, then the master could choose not to help.
"This is a standard master-servant contract. You can sign it now. "Lidou picked up the pen and wrote her name on the contract.
She was going all out.
