After Lu Yu left the slave market, he took the purchased Sigrid and walked around in the night.
At the beginning, try to only walk in open areas, so that you can easily detect whether there are little tails behind you.
After Lulutis thoroughly confirmed that no one was following him, Lu Yu plunged into the main road where he could see torches not far away and patrolled by guards.
Sigrid remained silent the whole time, and she did whatever Lu Yu asked her to do.
She thought about running away.
Then when she had that idea, Lu Yu's forcefulness when chatting with her, and Oberto's cautiousness when facing Lu Yu all came to mind.
"If you take action, you will definitely die."
This sentence put great pressure on Sigrid.
What's even more strange is that sometimes Lu Yu will say a few words in a low voice for no apparent reason, and then suddenly shut up.
The person speaking didn't seem to be her, but a strange creature that didn't know where it existed.
This weird feeling once sent chills down Sigrid's spine, which made her even more afraid to act rashly, and decided to temporarily believe in Lu Yu's promise to give her "some freedom".
The moonlight was very good tonight. Standing in the open space among the woods, Lu Yu could clearly see the contract document he had prepared in his hand.
The contract seemed to be made of some kind of animal leather, yellowish brown in color, slightly dry and hard in texture, not soft.
"I don't have magic power, can the contract be valid?"
"The contract itself has a certain effect. If you don't have magic power, you can only affect the binding effect."
"But...the creator of this contract is really weak."
Lulutis's disdain for the low-level contract was palpable.
This basic contract built with magic power is much inferior to the soul contract.
But even low-level soul contracts are not something Lu Yu can buy at this stage. What's more, he doesn't even have magic power. Using soul contracts in the first place makes people worry about whether he can withstand it.
After receiving the answer, Lu Yu brought the contract to Sigrid.
"Bleed."
Sigrid was stunned. After a while, she quickly glanced at the contents of the contract and found that she was not a slave, but a servant.
She looked up at Lu Yu in surprise.
"Why, you prefer to be a slave rather than a servant?"
Although Lu Yu's previous performance made Sigrid willing to believe that the person in front of her had some good intentions, in actual terms, this goodwill feedback should only improve her current situation, and she no longer needs to be thrown around as goods.
No longer a slave, but getting rid of this identity and becoming a servant.
In the past, Sigrid might have been disdainful. After all, she was a free person. She was not a slave or a servant.
Sigrid wanted to die just to be free from this foreseeable future.
But people are like this, when they see light, they can't help but want to touch it and catch it.
Sigrid could not foresee what kind of future this contract would bring to her.
But at least, what Lu Yu showed was worth a gamble for Sigrid.
The idea of escape that had arisen in the wilderness gradually disappeared. She was full of curiosity about Lu Yu himself and the reason for giving herself this favor.
Squeezing the wound open, blood dripped from the palm of the hand and the contract was written.
A faint red light flashed away, and Lu Yu, holding the contract, faintly felt a force establishing a connection between him and Sigrid.
"Now, you can order her through the contract. As for the service... you can explore it yourself."
"By the way, Lu Yu, has anyone ever said that you are very eloquent?"
"If it weren't for what you said when buying it before, she probably wanted to run away when she came out with us just now."
Lu Yu: "You are the first to say that about me."
"Then I should be honored?" Lulutis teased.
The two of them laughed, making Sigrid's scalp numb. If she hadn't just contracted to become Lu Yu's servant, she would really have run away.
My master was talking to the air, laughing inexplicably, and he didn't look like a normal person...
I didn’t trust the wrong person, did I? Is it too late to regret it now?
From this distance, it seems possible to pounce, grab the contract, and destroy it.
When Sigrid was already hesitating whether to attack or not, Lu Yu spoke.
"Now that the contract has been signed, I can start to answer your questions."
"Before the official answer, I hope you will stay calm when seeing what comes next."
Lu Yu pulled off the hood covering his head and untied his robe.
Sigrid's attention was originally on the gentle-looking Lu Yu, and when she was about to take a closer look, she caught sight of the monster on his shoulder that was emitting dark mist.
Sigrid was frightened and wanted to retreat, but when she thought of what Lu Yu said just now, she suppressed the shock in her heart.
"To make a long story short, this black mist is not a monster, but a person."
"Her name is Lulutis, a seventh-level magician."
As soon as the seventh-level magician spoke, Sigrid's pupils shrank, her hands trembled, and her breathing became heavy.
This is awe from the heart.
As far as she knew, there were no seventh-level magicians in the surrounding countries.
Magicians who have reached this level are studying how to climb higher all day long. The magical secrets they hold are huge wealth that ordinary people cannot touch.
Seeing the awe in Sigrid's eyes, Lu Yu and Lulutis were very satisfied.
Lu Yu then told Sigrid the reason why Lulutis became like this, the process, and the agreement between him and Lulutis.
After listening to the explosion of information, Sigrid pondered for a long time before she sorted everything out.
"In other words, you are now planning to return to the Solon Empire together. On the way, you plan to disguise yourself as a 'noble' and a 'traveller,' so you need a servant."
Lu Yu nodded: "We fell in love with you, and you have indeed withstood our little test."
"We need more than just pretending. Lulutis and I both have things to do at this stage, so you need to be responsible for taking care of daily affairs."
"The freedom you desire, I will give it back to you after this journey."
"In order to make your trip smooth, Lulutis is also willing to teach you how to properly utilize the power of blood."
Only then did Sigrid realize what the contract she just signed would bring.
She bowed respectfully to Lu Yu and Lulutis.
After getting excited, she was about to blurt out "Lu Yu" but swallowed it back.
Sigrid asked seriously after adjusting her breath for a while and adapting to her new identity.
"Master, is it true that Lord Lulutis cannot communicate with anyone except you?"
Probably because it is not in the native language system, Sigrid's voice as Lu Yu is still very useful.
If someone opened his mouth and was a servant of Henan and Tianjin accents, Lu Yu would only strictly prohibit them from calling him that.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Lulutis decided to satisfy this curious baby.
Lu Yu pulled Sigrid to Lulutis and asked her to listen carefully.
Sigrid, who was already injured, immediately turned pale after hearing those fast chanting and repeated whispers.
Her reaction was exactly the same as Oberto's.
A strong sense of nausea accompanied Sigrid. Because the distance was too close, she couldn't hold it back and turned around in embarrassment and vomited.
"Now I know how embarrassed you were before you met me."
Lu Yu looked at Sigrid who was vomiting and turned to Lulutis.
"Why would you put such a dangerous collection in a place where it might be affected? Why don't you dig a basement and seal it up?"
Lu Yu complained: "Like me, I buy a special cabinet to put the figures in, and put rare cards into card sleeves, so that they won't be stored casually."
"Although I don't know what the figure you are talking about is, I do take good care of it. This is one of the few works left by the ninth-level magician in this world. How could I be careless?"
"But you are actually doing experiments at home. According to you, your collection is placed on top of the laboratory... Wouldn't this be able to be blown through by an explosion?"
Lu Yu was very puzzled by the layout of Lulutis' room.
"Are you doubting the protective measures put in place by the seventh-level magician?" Lulutis' tentacles danced wildly.
Lu Yu glanced at her sideways, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"But if your protective measures are effective, then why are you like this?"
Lulutis realized what Lu Yu wanted to express and was suddenly embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, you're right, I didn't think carefully during the construction, so I shouldn't have arranged it like this!"
"When I go back, I will definitely dig a good basement and put..."
"Your stuff should have been blown up, what are you going to put in it?"
Lulutis's tentacles trembled and approached Lu Yu.
She really wanted to give Lu Yu an unforgettable hug, but this guy who had been hurting her was her precious companion...
The time for teasing Lulutis was over, and Lu Yu clapped his hands.
"Sigrid, have you wiped your mouth?"
Sigrid, who was dizzy from vomiting, heard Lu Yu calling her and quickly wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand.
Lu Yu threw the robe he used to hide his figure to Sigrid.
"Put it on, it's time for us to enter the city. Your exposed appearance is too ostentatious."
"When you get back, you take a shower first, and then we go buy some new clothes. Naturally, we need to make a complete set for the show. It's too simple to scare people."
After Sigrid wrapped herself up tightly, Lu Yu and his party set foot on the main road.
A group of patrolling knights passed by and saw Lu Yu and Sigrid. They stopped their horses and compared the papers in their hands carefully for a while before running off into the distance again.
It looks like they are hunting for some kind of criminal.
While walking, Lu Yu asked: "Sigrid, are you sensitive to currency?"
"It's not bad. Before I became a slave, at least I didn't get cheated out of copper coins by profiteers when I bought things."
