Li Ming turned around and looked at the Zhenling Divine Beast slumped on the ground with a pale face, thinking about how to control him.
There is no doubt about the strength of this monster. Now that the Second Prince's conspiracy is about to begin, with his help, our own strength can be greatly enhanced.
The most important thing is that Li Ming also needs this monster to undertake some very important tasks.
"Her Highness the Princess just said that I will be responsible for all your decisions. I am also determined to save you and restore your freedom, but how can I trust you? After all, you are a demon." Li Ming said lightly.
"She is also a demon. Why can you trust her?" The old man pointed at the witch and asked excitedly.
From Li Ming's words, the old man has understood that whether he can be completely safe or even free depends entirely on his thoughts.
Being able to guarantee safety has given him a great surprise. If he can still be free, this is what he has been looking forward to in his dreams...
"She is different. Although she is also a demon, she signed a contract with me..." Li Ming glanced at the witch with a smile and briefly told her how he helped her break the seal and help her resurrect.
old man...
"You, you are actually the Queen of the Spider Clan... No wonder he calls you Jinsi!" The old man's eyes widened.
"Although the status of our Spider Clan is not as high as yours, the Golden Horned Pixiu, it is different now. If you want to follow him, you must sign an allegiance contract." The witch said with a faint smile.
"Contract of allegiance..." The old man's face was uncertain. He knew very well that once the contract was signed, he would only be able to stay with the young man and be controlled by him in everything.
However, the contract set by the system is only a restriction on the NPC under certain conditions. As the strength gap between the NPC and the player becomes larger, the conditions of the contract will be very cautious, just like the one between Li Ming and the witch.
Same as the contract.
Don't think that signing a contract means owning a powerful pet. In fact, this is not the case.
The contract only limits the affiliation between the player and the NPC, but it does not allow the NPC to obey the player's orders and help in the battle at any time.
Only in specific plots where the system allows NPCs to participate in battles, NPCs can take the initiative to fight.
In other words, regardless of whether there is a contract relationship or not, the NPC can only fight when it is able to fight. It is not always possible to obey the master's orders to fight. Under normal circumstances, after signing the contract, the NPC will just follow the player like a follower.
That's all.
"I am willing to sign a contract and ask the master to save me!" The old man thought carefully for a while. Compared with life safety and freedom, staying with this master can save his life and leave this imperial mausoleum.
It’s already very good…
"It's fine if you want me to sign a contract, but you must promise that from now on you will no longer think about demons, gods, or destiny and chaos." Li Ming said lightly.
"Don't worry, Master, as long as I sign the contract, I will only obey your orders." The old man said respectfully.
"Okay, let's sign the contract. I still need your help with many things." Li Ming nodded, immediately called out the contract system, and quickly searched for the appropriate contract document...
In fact, there are only two or three types of contracts that can be signed with mythical beast-level NPCs, either a guardian contract, a life contract, or a servant contract.
However, these contracts have various restrictions. For example, if the camps are different, you cannot sign a guardian contract, and if the level and strength are too different, you cannot sign a servant contract...
Li Ming took a look and saw that there was only one life contract left that suited the contract he signed with the old man...
He immediately selected this contract, a white light flashed above his head, and a document icon appeared instantly.
Li Ming quickly set up the contract content, and then immediately launched the contract order...
Whoosh!
A ray of white light flew towards the old man sitting on the ground, and a document icon quickly appeared above the other person's head. As long as the old man agreed to the contract, it could be handed over to the system for supervision.
Once the contract is signed, Li Ming will become the owner of the contract and the old man will become the party to the contract.
The content of the life contract is very simple:
First: The contracting party must obey the basic orders of the contract owner. If the order violates the rules of the system, it is natural that it does not need to be followed.
Second: The contracting party must follow the contract owner, accept his call at any time, and cannot stay away from the contract owner for a certain distance.
Third: The contracting party has the responsibility to protect the life of the contract owner. Once the contract owner's life is exhausted, the contracting party will lose half of the life value to restore the owner's full life, but there is only one chance per day. Once the life guard is used three times, the life contract will be automatically terminated.
.
…
The life contract is indeed very simple. Li Ming has three opportunities to actively resurrect, and the old man helps him restore his health bar three times. However, when the three life protection times are used up, the contract will immediately become invalid.
Li Ming also hates this setting, but currently it seems to be the only one that can be used in the contract between him and the old man.
And he also understood in his heart that the reason why the system is set up like this is to tell players that you cannot keep a mythical beast tied to your side all the time, although the mythical beast cannot help you participate in battles at any time...
Whoosh!
After reading the contract, the old man immediately chose to confirm. A beam of light flashed above the two people's heads, and two white light groups flew into the air and disappeared at the top of the hall.
Ding……
The system prompt sounded, and the contract was completed instantly.
Li Ming's contract space once again has a brand new interface...Warcraft Pixiu Space!
But as the system information disappeared, the old man still sat on the ground and did not return to space directly...
"Master, the contract has been reached. Find a way to help me unlock these chains." The old man waved his arms anxiously, and the sound of clanking metal was heard.
On his body, five gold chains still bound him tightly...
"Your Highness Princess..." Li Ming turned around and said.
"Don't ask me, this is the divine chain set by our ancestors. I can't open it." Princess Ning Xin directly interrupted his request for help and shook her head.
"What should we do?" Li Ming was stunned.
"This divine chain is made of ancient iron essence. I just saw it. There is no way to unlock this divine chain. It seems that when setting this chain, the emperor never thought of letting him leave.
." The witch said calmly.
"You are right. When they locked me up, they really had no intention of letting me go." The old man lowered his head and said speechlessly.
"I have a way, please get out of the way." Li Ming looked at the five long chains and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Whoosh!
In front of everyone's eyes, a colorful dazzling light flashed instantly, and a long sword shrouded in colorful halo suddenly appeared in Li Ming's hand...
As he suddenly waved his sword, the colorful rays of light shone dazzlingly, and a colorful arc of light roared forward!
Clang clang clang!
Under the astonished gazes of all the beauties and old men, they saw colorful arcs of light flying toward the five long chains, easily cutting off the chains, and metal rings scattered on the ground were jingling...
