Chapter 151: I Don't Want To Be Extinguished Rapidly When My Advantage Becomes Nerfed
I took the contract and began to read it silently with concentration. As my gut feeling told me, there was an issue with this contract.
"May I ask why the choice of the growth pattern of the butler is marked on the fixed, high leveled option?"
Actually I didn't know what that even meant, but when I read the other option I had some thoughts in mind. Ivort looked at me strangely as he said:
"It's as it says in the contract, you either choose to have your butler come with his or her highest fighting power from the beginning. Regarding Diana, she is strong in her own terms with level ninety-two. I believe that all players who gained butlers so far prefered to gain this advantage in the early phases of the game to boast their progress.
So I had marked the choice for you based on this logic, do you have any objection to that?"
I understood better thanks to his words, however that didn't make me change my mind, as I pointed towards the other options and said:
"This option, I assume it makes the butler in equal level with the master player, right?"
"That's correct," he answered.
"And that growth meant no limit to the level that butler would reach, right?"
"That's correct, however if you died and lost levels, the butler will also lose levels as well. No butler can be higher than the level of his master in this option."
"That's good, I choose this option then, may you change it master Ivort please?"
I handed the scroll to him with a firm look on my face. I understood clearly the advantage any player would get when he chose the other option, however that was a grave mistake.
What I learnt in my kingdom that rapid rise without enough power to support and strong foundation to hold, was a suicide attempt. A flare that burnt rapidly and shined brightly was the fastest flare to turn off.
I wasn't planning to turn off, not now, not soon, not ever.
"May I ask why you chose the second option? All players choose the first one without exception."
Master Ivort words distracted me from my thoughts as I looked at him while saying:
"I don't want to be extinguished rapidly when my advantage becomes nerfed."
I didn't know if he would get my meaning or not, actually I didn't mean my answer to be this vague, however luckily for me he got what I meant, or else I would have looked like a silly girl that was trying to be deep.
"That's a profound meaning, to have the will to resist that temptation hmm I believe Sam has found a gem for his own collection. Good for him, and good for all of us."
He then took the scroll from my stretched hands and took out a pen to edit that option. I wasn't crazy to refuse that temptation, however I prefer stable invincible growth than the rapid fragile one.
Building always took time, unlike destruction. I didn't want to see my life effort wasted because I made a wrong decision at this moment, or any moment after.
I had to tread my steps carefully here, and luckily for me I had tasted the true bitterness of life, so I wasn't so naive and green like players around me.
I took the scroll back from him, revised it, and after finding no more problems I signed it. Once my signature was printed using the pen I took from Ivort, the scroll got away from my hand grip like it had its own soul.
Once it freed itself from me, it began to shine in a strange black color. Ivort then waved his hand, and Diana was there lying on the ground, moaning in pain under that scroll.
One black steel chain suddenly appeared from the scroll to stab Diana's legs. It was inserted deeply in her leg to make her even scream. I felt her pain, it wasn't like normal pain, as her scream was something else.
I felt like her own soul got punctured by this sharp brutal chain. It was brutal, however the butler contract wasn't an easy contract to apply and use, so I anticipated some brutality in it.
Another chain appeared, then a third, a fourth. Her screams began to echo like drum beats. After the twelve chain, her voice began to fade away. After the twenty fourth chain, her voice disappeared.
After the thirty six chain, she didn't have any expression over her face as the chains began to seep slowly like venomous snakes inside her body, pulling the contract to enter her chest, just at the place of her heart.
Dian then stood straight, with no emotion at all, empty eyes. She was like she lost all her sanity. She scared me at this moment.
I didn't think having a butler was like having a dead lady walking like a zombie behind me. that really was way out of expectations.
"Your butler is ready, of course the new looks of her would change gradually with every mission you give to her and she completes it. however she will be your deadliest weapon, so tread with her freely and assign the most dangerous missions to her."
I swallowed my dry throat in an attempt to get used to the horrifying looks of this Diana, right now I prefered the impulsive Diana, she was way better.
"What would happen if she got killed?"
"She can be resurrected using some gold coins at any resurrection point. She will take a couple of hours as rest then she can regain her full capabilities with the same level as yours. Here take this, it's her token of command, and that means you are her owner and she is your butler."
He pointed towards Diana, who suddenly stretched out her hand to me with a golden batch with some writings on it. I took the batch after some hesitation and inspected it carefully.
