Chapter 204

Episode 204

The Master basically has strong pride.

There was very little that was done to humble oneself.

Although they recognized the same Master, they did not consider themselves inferior to them.

They were so proud of their status that they thought they could win at any time.

I told her to become a slave.

But to be honest, I thought this would be rejected.

What kind of crazy master would fall under someone weaker than him?

Even under another clan.

No matter how much he said he owed, it was almost impossible.

If it weren’t for the World Tree in the first place, I wouldn’t have been able to be with the elves like this.

Will she really accept my offer?

I think not.

It would be nice if they didn’t curse at me instead of accepting it.

Even though I know that, the reason why I make such a suggestion

is ‘If you look at something big, the next thing tends to seem small.’

I’m thinking of asking her to lend me some strength.

When dealing with Ahar, you cannot refuse and must come and help unconditionally.

I was going to make that suggestion.

“If that’s what you want… I will do it.”

“….”

I was completely speechless.

I had no idea what I had just heard.

I felt dazed.

I raised my hand and pulled the ball.

sick.

It’s not a dream, so is it an illusion?

“Are you saying you want to be my slave now?”

“Yes.”

She pursed her lips and nodded.

I stroked Riems’ head and looked up at the sky.

The sky is so clear.

Seeing Reems on my lap makes me think this isn’t an illusion.

If it had been an illusion, Riems would have told me.

So that means you really accepted my offer.

‘How should I accept this?’

The Master was unintentionally made a slave.

You may ask, is that not a good thing?

I would like to say no to that question at all.

It would definitely be nice to have a master as a slave.

I have faith that he is dependable and will do well in whatever task he is assigned to.

But the problem was that since he was the master, he could not be manipulated with ease.

If he attacked me because he was in a bad mood, there was nothing I could do to stop it.

And I don’t want to imagine what people would say if they took her as a slave.

It’s clear that they’re either fantasizing among themselves or asking me questions.

It’s difficult to explain them one by one, and it’s also bothersome to follow them around or be called in for an investigation.

‘Does that woman have no self-respect?’

I can say without hesitation that I will become a master and work under someone else.

Or maybe my pride disappeared because I was broken by the Kairos guys?

What decision should I make?

‘What decision should I make? The answer has already been decided.’

Cross your legs.

I looked down at her with my arms crossed.

She immediately lowered her head after answering.

Her neck was stained red, as if she was ashamed of what she said.

He didn’t seem to raise his head until I called.

“All right. “But I don’t believe you just say it.”

“…?”

She could betray me later.

Minimal safety equipment or insurance is required.

“Swear on the World Tree.”

“…!”

Her eyes widened as she looked up at me.

A whispering sound can be heard from behind.

They were so shocked by my words that the elves even said that this should be stopped.

I lightly ignored those words.

I just made her an offer and she was the one who accepted.

All she has to do is get what she deserves and she takes responsibility for the words she says.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Are you asking me to swear an oath on the Three World Trees?”

Her voice as she asked me trembled violently.

An oath to the World Tree.

For the elves, it was like risking their lives.

No, it was worse than that.

Elves believe that when they die, they return to nature.

The belief that even if you die, you can return to the World Tree.

If you make an oath to the World Tree and break that oath, you cannot return to nature.

The elves thought so.

That was their tradition and culture.

For elves, not being able to return to nature was a pain worse than death.

They were losing everything.

Elves who betray their oath are ostracized even within their clan.

Elves who have escaped the embrace of the World Tree no longer consider themselves of the same clan.

Therefore, to them, swearing was a taboo word that they should never say or say among themselves.

I was about to put it into my mouth.

‘It’s a little different if she’s the leader of the Red Hawks, the Impaler.’

It was my first time knowing that the leader of the Red Hawk was an elf.

Maybe she finds that oath ridiculous.

But there was one more thing I believed in.

‘The master’s oath becomes a shackle.’

The Master is a being who can break the law of causality.

Because it was a being that could break the laws of the world, even if only for a moment, its limitations were also great.

In particular, the words they say are very heavy.

If it is a pledge you make to yourself, you must keep it.

When they say something like an oath, the world moves.

Mana puts a leash on them and takes control of their hearts.

They do not die if they break their oath.

However, due to the will of the world, they lose everything they have achieved so far.

To be precise, the Master’s power may be further increased and the Auror may be lost.

Once an Auror is lost, it cannot be recovered unless God intervenes or a miracle occurs.

She knew that, which is why she reacted so strongly.

I tapped my fingers on my forearm and waited for her response.

As I stare at her, she lowers her head and thinks.

Even she seems to be worried.

Well, if she’s not careful, she could lose everything she’s built up to this point.

‘It’s bound to be a worry. I’m not going to ask her to do anything strange, but it’s not like she can know that either.’

I had no intention of treating her unfairly by using her as a slave.

Rather, I plan to treat him well.

He is truly a master.

The Mercenary King, the Warrug Count, and even the Grand Wizard, the Millennium Count, were powerful men whose victory or defeat could not be determined.

If she becomes mine, the range of activities I can do expands.

You can do things that you couldn’t do due to lack of strength.

Well, I have to think of excuses to tell people, but that was a pleasant thought.

Increasing power meant that my chances of survival increased.

‘Mahol, Bow Master, and even Riems. With this level of power, even Ahar cannot move hastily.’

I waited for her answer.

It doesn’t matter if she does it here or not.

Because I wasn’t even expecting it in the first place. I can be satisfied just by being able to borrow her strength.

“…All right.”

She bit her lip as if she had made up her mind.

The sound of some of the elves falling to the ground was heard.

Some people sighed as if they couldn’t believe it.

Their empathy was great because they knew how much the oath to the World Tree meant.

“do. “You will obey me until the day you die.”

I could see her clenched fists shaking.

I didn’t find the sight pathetic or pitiful at all.

This happened because of her hasty actions, and she accepted it.

If you are responsible for your own actions and words, what reason is there to feel sorry for you?

There was no reason for me to pity her.

She trembles and slowly stands up and opens her mouth.

[I am the one blessed by the World Tree.]

Mana began to fluctuate.

I felt a huge force surging from the direction of the World Tree.

Spirits that were not summoned appear and surround the surroundings.

I only said one word.

Yet, this incredible phenomenon occurred.

‘They said the Master’s words were like words…’

That wasn’t just a lie.

Even though he couldn’t say it normally, there was power in the words that put his very existence on the line.

[A person who pierces the world with a bow.]

In the elves’ astonishment and bewilderment, spirits come out and surround her.

It wasn’t a threat.

They stopped at a certain distance and looked at me and her.

[I swear on the world tree.]

[I, the one who pierces, until the day your life ends, until the day nature takes you away.]

[I will give my all.]

[Your name will take my strength, my spirit, everything. [Something.]

She looks at me.

The anxiety symptoms that had appeared before she uttered the oath disappeared, and a mysterious spirit shone in her eyes.

I felt an unknown power come out and surround her.

A force that cannot be denied.

I answered as if fascinated by the feeling that the world itself was moving.

“Raymond Raymond Millennium.”

She closes her mouth for a moment at my answer.

Then he looked up at the sky once, looked at me again, and knelt in front of me.

He bowed down, placing his right hand on his heart and his left hand on his forehead.

She continued speaking with her hand on her head almost touching the ground.

[Your name is Raymond Millennium.]

[I will obey you completely.]

[This is an oath to the World Tree.]

[This is an oath with everything I have.]

[I will offer everything to my master.]

A strange feeling. It wraps around my heart.

‘Are you connected?’

I can feel her heartbeat.

I felt her heart beating in time with mine.

That strange sensation I felt in my heart made me feel like my heart was connected to hers.

-Raymond… Amazing!

As the spirits disappear and the unknown power surrounding me and her disappears, Reems, who was watching from afar, flies in and clings to her.

It seemed excited, shaking its front paws up and down and snorting.

-Mana has moved! That woman’s mana and Raymond’s mana were connected!

Excited Reems flies around me.

I grabbed Reems and held her in my arms and said to her who was still leaning down.

“Please stand up now.”

“yes.”

She stood up sloppily, using a respectful word that she had never used before.

Maybe it’s my imagination, but her eyes seem empty.

A face that seems to have lost everything.

I said, tickling Riems’ cheek at that sight.

“Pierce… the name is too long. “Is there any other name?”

“doesn’t exist. “If you feel uncomfortable calling my name, please come up with a new name.”

Rather than giving up, it seemed like he had put everything down.

It seemed like he had forgotten all thoughts since making the oath.

That was annoying in many ways. I can’t believe the Master won’t think about it.

It would be better to talk about it properly later.

But when I think about it, I feel embarrassed.

I even want to change my name.

This may be natural for a slave, but it’s surprising to me, who knows she’s an elf.

To elves, a name is proof of one’s existence, but giving it up means denying one’s existence.

But what was amazing was amazing, and what was uncomfortable was uncomfortable.

“It’s a name… I see. It would be better to build a new one. Because the existing name is inconvenient. First, let’s think about the name slowly. “It’s not urgent.”

“yes.”

I turned my head, thinking I would give her a new name.

“Then I’ll just head back.”

“Yes yes?”

“The sun is shining, so there’s no need to stay here any longer. Don’t worry, I’ll do what I have to do today.”

I plan to stop by the World Tree, dispose of the bloodstones, and then return.

We’re not going to get rid of everything.

When dealing with the Kairos tribe, you need to borrow their power, so insurance is necessary.

“Oh…”

They looked like they wanted to say something, but couldn’t bring themselves to say it.

Their faces are pale as they look back at me and at the enslaved woman.

I ignored them and walked to the World Tree.
