Chapter 746 The First Favored One in This World, the Relationship Between Master and Servant (1/2)
"Who am I?" Aaron raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of playfulness appeared on the corner of his mouth. "There are many different answers to this question, but for you, I should be the one who redeems you!"
"Redemption?" Frank murmured these two words, "Does redemption require the sacrifice of life or even soul?"
"Besides these two things, do you have anything else to lose?" Aaron asked back.
"I..."
Frank opened his mouth, speechless.
All his family members died, and he is now alone. He is haunted by nightmares every night, and the only purpose of living is revenge.
"I know what you are worried about, but I am not a demon who plays with people's hearts. I want your life and soul just to make you work for me."
"What do you mean?"
"Judge the guilty, be determined, but stick to your bottom line.
I admire this style very much, and I will need talents like you in the future, so I am willing to give you a chance." Aaron said meaningfully, "What you need to do is very simple, continue to carry forward your style, but the scope should be slightly larger, from a city to a country or even a world.
To put it simply, I want you to be a fair judge or judge."
"What are you talking about?" Frank asked puzzled.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now." Aaron took a piece of paper from under the table and wrote a contract on the spot, "Sign it, you will become my fourth favored one, and my first favored one in this world.
And in return, I will help you find all your enemies and let you complete the revenge yourself."
Frank took the paper and frowned in surprise at the conditions on it.
In the myths he knew, the so-called contracts usually had traps, but this contract was clear at a glance, and it didn't look like there were any traps.
"Is it really that simple?"
"It's that simple." Aaron spread his hands, "I won't let you do anything that hurts the world, nor will I let you do anything that goes against your conscience. On this basis, you will be loyal to me.
This treatment is much better than S.H.I.E.L.D., what's there to hesitate about?"
After a while, Frank hesitated and said, "If I don't sign, what will you do to me?"
"I will change your memory." Aaron said bluntly, "I didn't keep you when you were about to leave just now, that's all."
Huh!
Frank took a deep breath, then picked up a pen and wrote his name on the contract.
It's nothing more than working for the rest of your life. Working for S.H.I.E.L.D. and working for Aaron Gaius are the same.
And in a sense, working for Aaron may be more cost-effective.
Frank calmly watched the handwriting on the contract disappear little by little, and turned into a blank sheet of paper again. He knew that his destiny no longer belonged to him from this moment on.
"The contract is reached, congratulations, you have made the most correct decision in your life."
"Now can you tell me who you are?"
"You can understand it as a growing god who does not belong to this world." Aaron said a little embarrassedly, but his attitude was very firm, "I will eventually become a god, and I will eventually leave this world. At that time, you will leave with me as a follower.
But before that, you can do whatever you want."
"To be honest, I still find it hard to believe."
"It's not strange, normal people would have the same idea as you."
Snap!
Aaron snapped his fingers, and Captain Jack's compass floated in front of Frank.
He stared at the compass in a daze, "What is this?"
"This compass can point to what you think in your heart. You can use it to find all your enemies. Remember to return it to me after use."
Gulp!
Frank swallowed his saliva and barely suppressed his feeling of being overwhelmed.
"Nick Fury has raised his opinion of you as high as possible. Now it seems that his understanding of you is just the tip of the iceberg."
"To be precise, he only knows what I am willing to let him know.
Nick Fury thinks he is in control of everything, but in fact he is just a self-righteous person. The world is much bigger than he thinks.
Those people or forces that have been hidden for thousands of years may not be known by him as the director of SHIELD."
"Why choose me?" Frank asked, "It's not just because of admiration!"
"First of all, you are indeed a talent. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the ceiling among ordinary people.
Secondly, I sympathize with your experience, but it is not because your family is broken up, but because of your determination to avenge your family.
Finally, I know only a little more about this world than ordinary people. If you are in SHIELD, you can help me get a lot of valuable information."
"This should be easy for you."
"It's not difficult at all. I can even know everything from Nick Fury's memory as long as I want, but I don't know what kind of risks I have to take for this." Aaron said bluntly, "Before me, two ancestors of my family had visited this universe.
They left me several commandments, one of which was not to reveal my identity easily, otherwise I would bear the consequences.
I didn't understand why they left such commandments at first, but I went to Asgard a few days ago, and Odin told me the reason.
My ancestors did many great things in this universe, and they also contributed to the fact that humans can live peacefully on Earth so far.
But they also left me a lot of messes. Demons, aliens, and even angels and demons have a lot of interest in Gaius.
Some of these powerful lives are sealed on Earth. They can't do anything to my ancestors, but I haven't become a god yet, which is a big trouble for me.
So every time I use magic, I have to be careful, for fear that they will accidentally notice it, and my peaceful days will be over. "
"This sounds too outrageous." Frank said in a daze, "It's ridiculous."
"It's better to believe it than not to believe it!" Aaron sighed deeply, "So I want to live as low-key as possible, but... I can only say that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.
From the moment I met Tony Stark in Afghanistan, my life was destined to be turbulent.
But then again, I was prepared for this. "
"Are you so confident to tell me your secret?"
"You signed the contract, Gaius's contract is sacred, no one can violate it." Aaron smiled calmly, "You can't do anything that is not good for the master."
"You are my master now, right?"
"You can understand it, but my attitude towards my followers is still very relaxed and gentle.
You don't need to call me master, just keep the necessary respect and courtesy."
"Then what should I call you?"
"Before I leave this world, you can call me what others call you."
"What about after I leave this world?"
"Of course I have to change the name, but I haven't thought about it yet."
Frank nodded, "Now I believe you may not really be the kind of demon who cheats souls."
"I am not one, and don't insult me with demons, they don't deserve it. "
"You said before that I was your fourth follower, so I had three before me, who were they?"
"Yak Moens, Ramon Lancelot, Naga Shatir." Aaron said lightly, "To tell you the truth that you don't want to hear, you are the weakest among my followers.
All three of them are very powerful magicians, and any one of them can easily wipe you out."
Frank had no doubts, although he had never even heard of these names.
"Can you tell me what they are doing?"
"They are working hard to build my country." Aaron looked at him with interest, "Do you want to go and see?"
"If you can." Frank said.
"Regrettably, I can't."
"Why?"
"No reason, no means no.
If you must give a reason..." Aaron hesitated for a moment, "You are too weak. "
Frank's eyes twitched, and he felt insulted.
He had received the most rigorous training in the Marine Corps, and had been through gunfire and hail more than once. He couldn't even remember how many sinners he had killed on the road of revenge.
He was indeed an ordinary person without any extraordinary powers, but he was confident that he would not necessarily lose even if he faced those so-called extraordinary people.
"I don't agree with this reason." Frank said stubbornly.
"I understand, and I appreciate your pride." Aaron snapped his fingers and said meaningfully: "My world is still in a fantasy state. There are two ways for ordinary people like you to enter.
The first is that I take you in through dreams, and the second is to enter as a soul. "
"What does this have to do with whether I am weak or not?"
"It doesn't matter. I just simply think that you are not qualified for the time being." Aaron explained, "You are my fourth follower, but you won't be the last.
If every follower wants to visit my country, do I have to introduce them one by one like a tour guide? "
Frank was silent for a while, "I overestimated my own abilities."
"Recognize your position. Although I admire you and you are easy to talk to, it does not mean that I can accept subordinates' excessive demands.
You must know what to ask and what not to ask, and what to do and what not to do."
"I understand."
Frank sat upright, and his tone was much more respectful than before.
The relationship between him and Aaron was that of servant and master. No matter what the master's attitude was, the servant was the servant.
"I have another question."
"Tell me."
"If I die, will the contract between us still count?"
"Of course." Aaron smiled firmly, "It is clearly written in the contract that your life and soul belong to me. No matter whether it is heaven or hell, no one has the right to take your soul away.
If you die, your soul will automatically return to my hands, and I will reshape a body for you so that you can continue to serve me.
But all the grievances in your life will also be blown away by the wind.
In other words, I will not help you to avenge, let alone your family.
So cherish your life! At least before you succeed in revenge. "
Frank seemed to understand something, carefully put away Captain Jack's compass, saluted to Aaron, and then turned and left.
Aaron calmly watched his back, and only turned on the TV to watch it when he was completely out of sight, as if nothing had happened.
......
In the following months, Aaron rarely enjoyed a peaceful time.
Practicing fusion magic, brewing potions, making alchemical bullets, enjoying food to improve physical strength... boring and fulfilling.
Aaron also wore a brand new moonstone bracelet on his left wrist, and everything seemed to be developing in an orderly manner.
"System, open the food product column. ”
【 x-on:Frozen bison (70 delicious points); x-on:Cheese rabbit (30 delicious points); x-on:Sweet cabbage (1 magic point); x-on:Carrot and potato (1 magic point); x-on:Lotus root (1 magic point)
Delicious points: 600 (one point for every 10,000 US dollars, limited to 100 points per day)】
“These are the only new ingredients, not very good! "Aaron smacked his lips, and then placed an order for the frozen bison.
It's a bit expensive, but you can eat it from head to toe, and even the fur can be made into cold-proof clothing.
Moo!
A three-meter-tall, eight-meter-long ice-blue bison appeared in front of Aaron.
White hot air came out of its nostrils, and its eyes stared straight at Aaron in front of it. Its huge front hooves stepped on the kitchen floor, as if preparing for a charge.
But the next moment, a white dragon claw slapped its head.
Bang!
The aggressive frozen bison rolled its eyes, tilted its head, and fainted, making a loud noise.
"Ah!" Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly at Abe, who shrank back to his normal size, "I wanted to loosen up my muscles. ”
Since he got hundreds of millions of dollars from SHIELD, he has never been short of delicious food.
It’s just that after splitting off the thought body, his appetite has doubled, and the daily cash exchange and consumption are almost the same.
But it’s not without benefits. The speed of improving physical strength has also doubled. If Hulk’s capture level is counted as 100, he should be level 30 now.
“It’s all the same.” Abe smiled embarrassedly.
Aaron shook his head, picked up a kitchen knife, and dissected and cut the whole frozen bison at a very fast speed, separating the bones and meat, and putting away the fur for later use.
Half of the ingredients were collected into the space magic circle and transmitted to the thought body over a long distance, and the other half was for him and his two pets.
According to the family status, Aaron kept three large, medium and small portions of beef for barbecue, and stuffed the rest into the refrigerator for freshness.
Sizzle!
Under the scorching flames, the aroma of beef hit his face.
Aaron took a deep breath, and all the flames were sucked into his stomach.
“Not bad, it’s time to eat. "
After that, he picked up the biggest piece of beef and started to enjoy lunch, while Abe and Fox also stopped drooling and each picked up their own piece to eat heartily.
After lunch, when Aaron was cleaning up the tableware, a new message came on his tablet.
Two dinner reservations, Erica Natchez.
