Chapter 95: Temporary contract (1)

As a “tool” familiar that was temporarily contracted, Jiang He’s requirements were not high.

It was obedient, cost-effective, and it was fine as long as he had the affinity.

If the conditions allowed, Jiang He even wanted to rent two.

However, his mental strength was not strong enough, and a temporary contract also took up a small part of his mental strength.

After signing the contract with waterdrop and the moonlight elf, Jiang He could only contract one more familiar at most.

“Oh right, why don’t I see any flame sprites?”

Jiang He remembered that the post on the [three-piece set] also mentioned the flame sprite, so he asked.

“We only have two flame sprites in our shop. One was contracted this morning, and the other one is a little shy and refuses to come out of the lava.”

The pretty girl replied. She then walked to the magma and called out softly,”

“Yiyi, there’s a guest who wants to see you. Come out quickly!”

Then, Jiang He saw the lava below suddenly roil and bubble from time to time. Then, a ball of burning red flame appeared.

“Shua shua shua”

The flame sprite heard the girl’s call and came out of the lava unwillingly.

There would always be a few times a day when human Beastmasters wanted to see it while they were choosing their subdued beasts. It was getting a little tired of it.

Food and accommodation were provided here, so it didn’t want to be contracted!

Therefore, every time it came out, it would go back in.

I’m not shy, I’m just a salted fish~

But this time, the flame sprite felt a very comfortable scent from the human before it.

It didn’t have eyes, and it could only sense the living things in the outside world through the temperature and aura.

The smell on Jiang He’s body made it feel at ease.

Jiang He pushed his talent as the nature child to the extreme, then scanned the familiar in front of him with the familiar guide.

<Name> flame sprite

[Attribute] fire

[Rank] servant Level 5

<Potential> Advanced Battle general

<Skill> Ember, spark, gather fire

<Introduction> a fire element born in lava. It exudes amazing heat and will absorb the surrounding fire energy to maintain its burning. When the flames dissipated, they would slowly die.

“Strange, you’re the first customer Yiyi doesn’t avoid!”

The pretty girl said in surprise.

Usually, even if he called the flame sprite out, it would immediately run back. This time, it even took the initiative to observe the human in front of it.

“Little guy, it’s you.”

Jiang He made a decision the moment she saw the flame sprite.

First impressions were very important. When the flame sprite appeared, the coal turtle and fire shell that he had a slight affinity with were all passed on.

“Ziyue, Mingyue, what do you think?”

“Meow~”

The moonlight elf lazily stretched out its little claws. Anyway, it was just a “tool familiar” that had joined the team at the last moment, so it didn’t take it to heart at all.

“CAW!”

Waterdrop had no objections.

“How much is this fire sprites for a day?”

” 500 a day. You’ll have to provide the food yourself and you’ll have to return to the store once every month to confirm the situation. However, if you want to contract it, you’ll have to get the approval of the flame sprite!”

The pretty girl said with a smile.

In her opinion, establishing a contract between a Beastmaster and their subdued beast was a sacred process. Even if it was a temporary contract, both parties had to agree to it.

A Beastmaster who forced his subdued beasts to sign a contract with him wasn’t the right path, after all.

“Flame sprite, become my companion! I’ll make you something delicious. ”

Jiang He extended an invitation to the flame sprite.

“Meow …”

“Ao Gu …”

The moonlight elf and waterdrop shook their heads at the same time.

Back then, they were also like this, being ‘tricked’ away by Jiang He in a daze.

“Swish!”

The flame sprite didn’t understand Jiang He’s words, but it understood why he had come.

It floated in the air and suddenly approached Jiang He.

As the flame sprite approached, Jiang He could feel the shocking heat emitted from its body, but he did not retreat.

“Swish!”

The familiars in the barn were different from those in the wild. They understood their mission: to be contracted by a so-called Beastmaster and be with him for the rest of their lives.

The human in front of her had a special aura, and it was quite nice to smell, so the flame sprite didn’t object this time and nodded.

“I didn’t expect you to be able to gain Yiyi’s favor.”

The delicate girl was very surprised.

After paying 30000 Yuan (20000 Yuan as collateral), Jiang He eagerly opened the book of contract and began to connect the contract.

Two magic circles, one red and one black, lit up under his and the flame sprite’s feet.

Jiang He was already familiar with the contract.

As the two magic circles got closer and closer, he established a vague connection with the flame sprite.

In the end, the two arrays did not completely overlap and quickly dissipated.

This wasn’t a failure, but a temporary contract was like this.

A Beastmaster’s and his subdued beast’s spiritual strength wouldn’t have a deep connection.

In terms of a companion contract, the relationship between a Beastmaster and his subdued beast was more like that of friends or family.

In that case, a temporary contract was more like the relationship between an employer and a worker beast.

Both parties could terminate the contract at any time.

The employer could fire the ’employee’, and the ’employee’ could fire the ‘boss’ at any time.

“I’ll be in your care for the rest of the time,”

Jiang He said with a smile.

“Huh!?”

The flame sprite cursed.

Although it was only a temporary contract, Jiang He could roughly understand the little guy’s mood at the moment.

“What I’m establishing isn’t a partner contract!?”

That was the general meaning of it.

“Cough, cough. I’m going to a very cold place for the next few days, and I need your help to keep me warm. However, I’ll give you some Firestones as a reward. ”

“…”()

After signing the contract with the flame sprite, Jiang He went to a specialty store in Boston to order three sets of winter clothes.

This way, the preparations for the trip to the snow region would be more or less complete.

Because of time constraint, Jiang He had no time to practice extraordinary cooking. He could only hurriedly memorize the recipe and prepare to practice it after he arrived in the snow region.

On the third day, Jiang He and Ding Lei got on the train to Winterfell together.

Winterfell was located in the Black Dragon province, which was in the far north of Eastern Xia. It was a long way from Haidu province.

Even if it was a high-speed train, it would take nearly a day and a half.

As for why they didn’t take the plane, it was because it was strictly forbidden to release familiars on the plane, even if it was just for viewing!

Jiang He was used to the company of the two little fellows. In addition, the moonlight elves didn’t like to enter the familiar space, so they chose to take the train.

“Why don’t we play” fight the landlord “?”

Jiang He suggested and then took out a deck of cards from his backpack.

This time, he was well prepared. He had a bunch of snacks and fatigue relief props in his backpack, and he had a Full Movie on his phone.

Two people and one beast were just right to play fight the landlord.

The snow Wolf was staying in the familiar space because of its huge size.

As for waterdrop and the flame sprite, they did not play.

Waterdrop found it dirty, but the flame sprite …

He would directly burn the cards.

They finally arrived at the Black Dragon province the next afternoon.

After a long journey, they arrived at the entrance to the New World of the snow region at night.

Now, it had become a military base. The tall walls outside were covered with hot weapons, and soldiers could be seen patrolling from time to time.

Idle people are not allowed in.
