Chapter 18 18 Not Getting Cheated Out of Money Is the Best Ability

Chapter 18 18. Not being cheated is the best ability

After Lu Yu left the slave market, he took the purchased Sigrid and walked around in the night.

Try to only walk in open areas at first, so you can easily detect whether there is a tail 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 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 exist somewhere.

This weird feeling once sent shivers 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 a soul contract makes people worry about whether he can withstand it.

After receiving the answer, Lu Yu brought the contract to Sigrid.

"Bleed."

Sigrid was stunned for 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.

"What, you would rather be a slave 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 no longer need to be thrown around as goods.

No longer a slave, but shed that identity and become a servant.

In the past, Sigrid might have been disdainful. After all, she was a free person, and she was not cold to slaves or servants.

Sigrid wanted to die in order 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 contract.

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 effectiveness... 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 you bought 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 won't believe the wrong person, right... Is it too late to regret it now?

From this distance, it seemed 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."

"Until there is a formal answer, I hope you will remain calm for 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 Lu Lutis were very satisfied.

After listening to this information explosion, Sigrid pondered for a long time before she sorted out everything.

"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 'traveler', so you need a servant."

"We need more than just disguise. At this stage, Lu Lutis and I have things to do, so you need to take care of daily affairs."

"I will give you the freedom you desire after this journey."

"In order to travel smoothly, Lu Lutis is also willing to teach you how to use the power of blood correctly."

Sigrid realized what the contract she had just signed would bring.

She bowed respectfully to Lu Yu and Lu Lutis.

After the excitement, she just wanted to blurt out "Lu Yu", but she swallowed it back.

After adjusting her breath for a while and adapting to her new identity, Sigrid asked seriously.

"Master, is it true that Lord Lulutis cannot communicate with anyone except you?"

Perhaps because it is not his native language, Lu Yu still finds Sigrid's call of master very useful.

If the servants spoke with the dialect of Henan, Tianjin, and Northeast China, Lu Yu would strictly forbid them to call him that.

Hearing is false, seeing is true, Lulutis decided to satisfy this curious baby.

Lu Yu pulled Sigrid to Lulutis and asked her to listen carefully.

Sigrid, who was already injured, turned pale immediately after hearing those fast chanting and repeated whispers.

Her reaction was exactly the same as Oberto's.

A strong feeling of nausea accompanied Sigrid. Because the distance was too close, she couldn't help but turned her head and vomited in embarrassment.

"Now I know how embarrassed you were before you met me."

Lu Yu looked at Sigrid who was vomiting and turned his head to Lulutis.

"Why would you put such a dangerous collection in a place where it might be affected? Can't you dig a basement to seal it?"

Lu Yu complained: "Like me, I bought a cabinet specifically for the figurines and put them in it. Rare cards will also be put in card holders, so they won't be stored casually."

"Although I don't know what figurines you are talking about, I did keep them well. These are the few works left by the ninth-level magician in this world. How could I not be careful?"

"But you actually did experiments at home. According to what you said, your collection is placed above the laboratory... Can't this be blown through by an explosion?"

Lu Yu was very puzzled by the layout of Lulutis's room.

"Are you doubting the protective measures set up by the seventh-level magician?" Lulutis's tentacles danced wildly.

Lu Yu glanced at her sideways, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

"But if your protective measures are useful, why are you like this now?"

Lulutis realized what Lu Yu wanted to express and was embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, you're right. I didn't think carefully when I was building it. I shouldn't have arranged it like this!"

"When I get back, I will dig a good basement and put..."

"Your things should have been blown away. What are you going to put in there?"

Lulutis's tentacles trembled as they 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, did you wipe 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. We should go into the city. You are too exposed."

"Take a bath first after you go back, and then we will go buy some new clothes. We should do a full set of clothes for the show. It will not be foolish if it is too simple."

After Sigrid wrapped herself tightly, Lu Yu and his party set foot on the main road.

A patrolling knight passed by and saw Lu Yu and Sigrid. He stopped his horse, compared the paper in his hand carefully for a while, and then galloped away again.

It seems that they are chasing some wanted criminal.

As they walked, Lu Yu asked: "Sigrid, are you sensitive to currency?"

"It's okay. Before I became a slave, at least I didn't get cheated of copper coins by profiteers when I bought things."

Perfect!

This is the ability Lu Yu needs most now!
