Chapter 154 The Whereabouts of the Demonic Dragon Artifact
Amber invited Naomi to become his "beast partner", and Catherine, who had been silent all the time, finally couldn't help it.
"How can this be possible? You are going too far!"
In Catherine's opinion, this was completely relying on the power of the gods to intimidate the other party. This was not a contracted beast partner at all, but clearly looking for slaves.
Besides, Naomi is a human being, which is totally inconsistent with the rule that rangers should look for beast companions.
If it is a contract of this kind that involves possession and slavery, it should be impossible to complete.
Catherine didn't care about that and quickly said to Naomi: "Don't agree. Don't succumb to the power of the gods. This contract cannot be forced. As long as you refuse in your heart, the gods cannot force you to become someone else's slave!"
The God of Alchemy touched his nose awkwardly. Now he was the bad guy.
Amber Xiu also said helplessly: "How can you be a slave? Don't you have several beast companions yourself?"
"I never forced anyone to sign a contract! It's wrong for you to do this. Forcibly enslaving others is not a true ranger, and you can't exert your true power."
Catherine thought that Amber was just eager for quick success and wanted to persuade him.
However, Amber Xiu said: "You said it yourself. This thing depends on fate. When fate comes, you will naturally feel it. I think she is quite suitable now."
"You're kidding! How could this be possible?"
Catherine didn't believe that humans with complete intelligence often didn't have such pure thoughts and were unable to complete such a contract with full commitment.
The lich was only trying to take advantage of the other party because he heard that the other party might transform into a time dragon, and he was not sincere at all.
Catherine was just about to explain to Amberhu that this was not the way to find a ranger's beast partner, it required love and care... a ball of green light lit up between Amberhu and Naomi, turning into complex magic runes, which were imprinted on the two of them.
Catherine looked at Naomi in surprise. The little girl's body was surrounded by countless magical lights and shadows. These abilities were constantly entering her body and strengthening her comprehensively.
The contract was established, and the ranger and his beast partner would strengthen each other. The level gap between Naomi and Ambersu was too big, so Ambersu didn't feel anything. But Naomi got a big bargain, and the magic power in her body was growing at a very fast rate.
"How is this possible?"
It was clear that the contract required the sincere consent of both parties. How could this girl be willing to become Amber's pet?
Amber Xiu also felt very strange. When he saw Naomi, he felt the power in his body stirring. This might be what Catherine said before, when you meet the right beast partner, the power will respond automatically.
As for why Naomi was suitable, Amber Xiu was a little confused.
Maybe druids are also considered beasts...right?
After all, the intelligence of many wild beasts is not weaker than that of humans. If dragons can be contracted, why can't humans?
The rapidly growing power stimulated Naomi, and she fell into a coma. Amberxiu quickly picked her up and carefully placed her on the bed in the hotel.
"What happened? He fainted?" Amber asked Catherine.
"Once the contract is completed, the beast companion will share power with you. This girl is too weak, so she is being strengthened by your power, which may take a long time." Catherine explained, and then couldn't help asking: "How could she agree? She should know what this contract means. Although the ranger and the beast companion are relatively equal, one is the master and the other is the servant. How could she agree?"
Amber Xiu didn't quite understand it before, but after completing the contract, he could vaguely feel her thoughts.
Amber Xiu could only explain awkwardly: "Maybe, it's because I'm the only one in the world who has ever been nice to her."
For Naomi, her previous life was too terrible. All the good memories were fake. When the truth came out, all her relatives became enemies. Instead, it was the stranger Amber Xiu who extended a helping hand to her several times.
In the City of Alchemy, druids are discriminated against. Naomi spent a long time trying to save her people, but no one was willing to pay attention to her. It was the lich Ambersh who came to her aid when she was helpless.
The second time, she was in a panic, not understanding what had happened and why everyone suddenly became her enemy. It was also Amber who intervened and told her the cruel truth.
The third time, when she was betrayed by everyone and was about to go crazy, no one cared about her life or death. It was Amber who took action and put Naomi to sleep with mercy.
It's really ridiculous. As a druid, the only lich who has been nice to her in her life.
Naomi had been hit so hard by reality that she developed mental problems, so she chose to commit suicide after waking up.
As a result, the most vicious person even deprived her of the right to die, leaving her in this half-dead state.
Naomi was tired and didn't want to struggle anymore.
When Amber showed her the contract, Naomi agreed without any hesitation. The person in front of her was the only one in the world who was kind to her and had a powerful force that could protect her from harm, so what was there to hesitate about? It can only be said that the more miserable a child's childhood is, the easier it is for them to be deceived when they grow up.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this almost self-sacrificing attitude that Amber felt a sense of resonance.
As mentioned before, Amber was already used to the lifestyle of the undead, so it was a bit difficult for him to infect a wild beast with love and patience. Therefore, when he met Naomi, he felt that he had met the most suitable "beast partner".
Isn't this good? Everyone gets what they want. Amber is happy, Naomi is happy, and the God of Alchemy is happy too. The only one who is unhappy is Catherine.
Even though she understood Naomi's thoughts, she still felt that Amber was taking advantage of someone else's misfortune.
Amber Xiu said strangely: "I find you are quite racist. Why can black panthers be pets, but humans can't be pets?"
Catherine retorted, "Humans and elves are both humanoid races. We are intelligent beings with similar appearances. Naturally, we cannot accept each other as pets. Isn't this a very normal idea?"
Amber Xiu laughed and said, "But I am a lich, not a humanoid. I can transform into a spider or a dragon right now! People can keep black panthers as pets, so what's wrong with me, a lich, keeping a human?"
Liches cannot really be considered a humanoid race, because their essence is undead, and they can change their skeletons however they want. If Amber was happy that day, he could even turn himself into a bone dragon, but his soul is not a dragon soul.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“This…this…”
Catherine, a girl who had never seen the world, was unable to refute it immediately, but she always felt that something was wrong.
Amber did not blame her. Most humans, elves, orcs, and dwarves had this idea. They regarded creatures with similar appearances as "the same kind" and were willing to treat them as equals.
Judging people by appearance is not just a habit of the elves, other intelligent races are similar.
But who can blame the fact that most gods are in human form? This makes the human race accustomed to being superior to other races. If you try to turn all the gods into slimes, I guess this continent will rule slimes.
Amber did not want to discuss this ideological issue too much. Anyway, the contract was already signed and he could not regret it.
While Naomi was receiving the baptism of power, Amber asked Catherine to contact the elves as soon as possible to see if she could get the artifact.
Harvey only has less than two months left, and Amber needs to seize every minute and every second.
Catherine was very unhappy, but she couldn't find any point to refute either verbally or logically, so the Elf Queen could only contact the elves angrily.
Catherine is the type of person who will never take her anger out on others no matter how angry she is. Harvey is innocent, Catherine reminded herself.
So despite her reluctance, Catherine still tried hard to contact the elves.
Perhaps they were very concerned about the safety of the former queen. As soon as the message was sent back, the elves responded immediately. First, they asked about Catherine's well-being, with a fatherly attitude. After confirming that Catherine had not encountered any accidents or suffered any hardship, the elves gave Amber the news he wanted.
Back then, when Arthur Ryan was dealing with the Dragon Tyrant, he did steal the artifact that could reverse time from the tyrant in advance, which allowed him to successfully kill the Dragon Tyrant.
However, this thing can only be used by people of dragon bloodline, so Arthur Ryan secretly gave this artifact to the elves for safekeeping. According to the old king's recollection, he hid this thing deep in the sea.
It has been too long a time, and the old king can only give Amberxiu an approximate location but has no way of confirming which location it is.
"Why don't you elves keep your artifacts in your own treasury?" Amber asked puzzledly.
Catherine said a little embarrassedly: "Back then, who could have thought that the Dragon Tyrant would really be killed by Arthur Ryan? If this artifact is placed in Silvermoon High Court, the Dragon Tyrant will definitely feel it and might even come to attack us. Besides, the elves can't use this artifact, so it's more appropriate to seal it in the depths of the sea."
Simply put, I just don't want to keep this hot potato at home.
This is true, but after the death of the Dragon Tyrant, they did not take out this artifact, which is a bit of a waste. If you can't use it yourself, you can also exchange it for some gold coins for the dragon clan. I believe that the overseas dragon clan will be very happy to buy this artifact back.
"Okay, now that we have found the coordinates, let's go find this artifact quickly."
Catherine had just experienced the fun of the adventure, and she couldn't wait to do it again.
The sea, she has never seen it.
