"What?! Are you crazy?" Mojure shouted, "Lily, let's go, we'll get out of here."
"Leave if you can! Do you think you'll be able to leave so easily after you have caused trouble here?" Bryen suddenly spoke up, her voice was so cold that it made everyone tremble.
Even though Mojure was of a much higher level than Bryen, he felt a bit scared.
That was normal because Bryen was now in possession of the Void energy that Hikaru gave her to use, not the normal energy source.
And Void Energy was a higher energy source than the energy Mojure was using, so it was normal for him to feel afraid.
"You… What do you want to do? I… I am… a priest of the Saric Sanctuary. If you…"
"Enough!"
Lily suddenly shouted, "Mojure, be quiet for a moment."
"I…" Mojure felt embarrassed, so he went to the side and stood silently.
Lily now looked at Bryen who was frowning, she thought for a moment, then said: "100 years is too much, I can only work for you for 1 year. However, in the meantime, you must provide all the knowledge I need, without any pretense."
"And… I will of course make potions for you, however, only when I feel it's necessary that I will do so."
"Oh! So… you mean we have to serve you, but you don't want to work." Bryen said, frowning.
Lily shook her head: "Sorry, if you accept then we can sign the contract, otherwise the deal ends here."
"It seems… you are so self-conscious about your control that you are so arrogant."
"Not exactly, but at least I don't want to work for free."
"The knowledge that my master can give you is worth more than you."
"Worth more than me." Lily felt a little amused, so she said: "Bryen, do you think I'm a mediocre Pharmacist Enchanter like everyone else?"
"You are wrong! Even though I am seriously injured, I am confident that my abilities surpass all the Enchanters present in this territory."
Hearing that, Bryen shook her head and said, "Then we have no deal, I hope you won't regret it."
Bryen finished speaking and turned to leave, while Lily didn't say anything as she had her own arrogance.
Narita saw Bryen leave and followed her, he did not turn to look at Lily and Mojure.
Mojure saw Bryen and Narita leave and breathed a sigh of relief, then scornfully said: "Huh! Don't think that because you are a god's secretary that you can do whatever you want. I…"
BAM!
Suddenly, a rock fell on Mojure's head, startling him. Even though his body had been upgraded to the point of being as hard as metal, he still felt a bit dizzy and he experienced a headache.
"What the hell?" Mojure shouted angrily.
A nurse pointed to the ceiling and he saw that there was a large hole there.
"The ceiling collapsed." The nurse said, "Strange, the ceiling is made of a block of stone, why did it break apart?"
"Shhh! That's Bryen's ability, she can curse people or make them have bad luck."
"Ah! Awful."
When Mojure heard what the people were saying he contemptuously said: "Huh! Just a little bit of bad luck, nothing to be afraid of. Lily, I'll get you out of here."
Lily shook her head and said, "No need, we can just stay here. I think if the master of this territory is a god, he wouldn't do anything shameful."
Mojure also felt that it made sense. If the owner of this territory was an ordinary noble, with Narita's power, they would have died here.
However, after Bryen failed the transaction, they were still safe even though Mojure had some bad luck due to her curse.
"Okay, then we stay here. Don't worry, I will protect you."
Lily felt a little amused hearing that, as Mojure was the first to faint, and now he was saying that he would protect her.
Mojure sat on the chair next to Lily, then checked to see if she was injured anywhere.
Seeing that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why did you refuse that woman's offer? You're very thirsty for new knowledge, aren't you?"
"That's right." Lily nodded and said, "I am really hungry for new knowledge. However, it's not because of that that I'm selling my help and medicinal knowledge for cheap."
"Besides… Bryen's arrogant attitude made me uncomfortable."
"Bryen?" Mojure frowned and asked.
"It's the girl from earlier."
"Ah!"
"She is the secretary of the Void Lord, according to your words, she is probably the messenger of the Gods."
"But the agreement she made was too ridiculous, she is forcing you to serve them for 100 years and you will only learn their knowledge."
Lily nodded: "Yes, I don't know how much knowledge they will provide, however, I don't think that knowledge is worth 100 years of servitude."
"That's also why I made my request, if they can't satisfy my request, it means they don't respect me either."
Mojure nodded, he did not feel anything strange at all. Anyway, it was normal for a Pharmacist Enchanter as good as Lily to ask for something.
"Okay, you and I will go to the place to register the ID card first."
"Wait!" Mojure wanted to touch Lily's wheelchair but she stopped him: "You don't need to touch me, I can move on my own."
"Heh?! Why?"
"I'm afraid your bad luck will spread to me."
Mojure: "…"
…
Outside, Narita walked beside Bryen, neither of them saying a word.
However, her outfit and beauty made countless people look at her.
Bryen was indeed very beautiful, and her beauty was only slightly inferior to Selvih.
Bryen also saw lot of people looking at her, however, she didn't care.
She was like a thousand-year-old iceberg, and anyone who comes near her would freeze to death.
Ack! In fact… they weren't frozen to death, but they would be cursed by Bryen, and they would nearly die from bad luck.
"Did you fail too?"
Bryen heard Narita say that and stopped, she looked at him, then shook her head: "No, I just wanted to prove that she will regret her decision."
"Regret?" Narita felt a bit odd, "But… her condition isn't that bad either."
"For high-ranking Enchanteurs, such a request was normal."
Hearing that, Bryen sighed, "You don't understand what your master is doing and his intentions."
"Hm?! What do you mean?"
"Narita, do you also think that the knowledge we have for her is not of high value?"
As Narita heard that he nodded, then shook his head again, he didn't know how to answer.
Bryen explained: "Perhaps Lily is a high level Enchanter, and she can help us a lot. However, she can only use her powers to help us for a short time."
"Then what? The knowledge she learned from us is invaluable. She can use it for many other purposes from now on until she dies."
"No, even if she dies, she can store that knowledge by teaching others or creating records to save it."
"So, who benefits the most?"
Narita found what he heard startling. That's right, what Lily can do for them only works while she's here.
After she leaves, the knowledge she would learn would remain in her mind forever.
So… the one who benefits the most is Lily.
At this moment, Narita suddenly realized that her request was extremely unreasonable.
"You get it? Even though you've been here for a while, you still don't seem to have learned much from master."
Narita was a little angry when he heard that, but what Bryen had just said was true.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm Bryen came here after him, but her way of doing things was many times better than his.
Even though he turned to education and achieved many achievements, he still couldn't compare to Shala and Lori.
"Narita…" Bryen continued: "You still hold your ego too high. If you want to grow, and reach new heights, you have to accept new things."
"An old house will probably hold many good memories, but if it is too old, it will collapse at any time, endangering the people inside that house."
"For safety, we need to demolish it and build a new, better, and larger house."
"So is knowledge. My master once told me that breaking the old house can help build a new one. If we depend too much on what we already know, we will forever be in a hole we have dug for ourselves."
Narita heard that sighed: "Haizzz, sorry. But I…"
"I know you can't change that fast. Master takes you very seriously, I hope you can do more than what you are doing."
Hearing Bryen's words, Narita suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Since coming to this place, aside from providing knowledge about Runes, he had done little to help Hikaru.
On the contrary, Hikaru and the others helped him so that he can work better and according to Hikaru's intentions.
"I will try."
Bryen nodded with satisfaction.
…
Elsewhere, Hikaru was flying in the fog, he was surrounded by 10 Misty Compasses that helped him dispel the fog.
Even though he possesses Void Energy, however, he thinks it's better to be careful, so he Misty Compass.
As he flew, he listened to Bryen's report about her failure to negotiate with Lily. He did not feel angry, on the contrary, he very much agreed with her way of doing things.
He believed that this drunk Lily will regret and beg to be able to work for him.
Hikaru shook his head, putting this aside for the time being, for now, he was on his way to find something that could help his domain grow.
After flying in the fog for a long time, Hikaru frowned and muttered: 'Strange, I remember it was here before, why has it disappeared now.'
[Master, it's not gone, it's just that there's some kind of advanced magic that's hiding it.]
"Hiding it? Do you mean… Do you mean that the creator of the system hid those gates?"
