Freya had just become a demon, and it could be said that she was very unaccustomed to it.
She violated the taboo and was rescued once, and then it happened a second time.
A helpless Linde could only teach her again, hoping she would learn her lesson.
He immediately focused all his attention, pouring all the taboos into her mind.
In an instant.
Freya's eyes widened again, as if she saw that familiar scenery, standing in a divine realm.
"No, I must have my revenge."
She screamed frantically in her heart.
But wave after wave of pain, accompanied by surging emotions, directly engulfed her mind.
Until the end.
All the hatred and malice transformed into a whimper.
The demon's exclusive punishment mechanism made her lose her last bit of strength to resist.
Linde, standing there, seemed like a supreme deity, wanting to hold her soul and mind completely in his hands.
Her remaining rationality urged her body to leave, but she was already completely dominated by a vast will.
Like huge waves, they surged and rolled.
Freya could only support herself with both hands, her mind completely consumed.
Every minute and every second felt like falling from heaven to hell, and then returning to heaven.
Each successive inscription completely shattered all the hatred in her heart, making her wholeheartedly acknowledge Linde's master status.
The First Princess of the Geolal Kingdom seemed to have disappeared, knowing only to follow her master.
[Freya Elgrandie Geolal]
[Race: Demon]
[Master: Linde Lucifergus]
[Level: LV39]
[skill: Brave of Sorcery (Skill/Title)]
[Brave of Sorcery (Skill/Title): You can cast spells beyond your level, and the consumption of any magic is halved.]
"Just a little more, and she should be able to break through the limit of an Upper-level Demon."
Considering the cultivation speed of an Upper-level Demon, it could only be described as unbelievable.
However, thinking of his efforts over several days and nights, Linde was no longer so surprised.
In Linde's opinion, Freya's malicious personality was deeply ingrained.
In terms of receiving contract punishment, she had definitely broken the record for a Retainer/Subordinate.
During this time,
he even changed locations once because he didn't want to be disturbed.
"Honestly, I've wasted too much time on you."
Linde pinched Freya's cheek and shook it.
"Master, I really won't have any more bad thoughts. Please spare me."
"Not getting up yet?"
Linde impatiently slapped her, leaving a bright red handprint on her body.
He truly had no compassion for this woman.
"Hiss!"
Freya, in pain, instantly sobered up.
She gave Linde a resentful look, but dared not harbor any hatred.
Soon.
Freya was fully dressed and prostrated respectfully on the ground.
"Master, please forgive my impudence."
"Alright, stop with the nonsense."
Linde said indifferently: "Tell me about your Kingdom."
As a newcomer, he still needed to confirm the timeline.
Freya dared not hide anything, spilling everything she knew like beans from a bamboo tube.
"Master, the country I belong to is called..."
After listening to Freya's narration, Linde nodded secretly.
The time he arrived was exactly when Freya was going to find another newly born Brave of Sorcery (Skill/Title).
That is, at the very beginning of the plot.
"Okay, pack up. We're going to Ranarita Town too."
"Yes, Master."
Freya quickly packed up, confirmed their current location, and then began to lead the way.
Linde was not interested in that Brave of Sorcery (Skill/Title).
He only seemed to remember that there were some elves nearby.
He wondered if any of them had the qualifications to be a Retainer/Subordinate.
However!
Upon reaching their destination,
the entire Ranarita Town had already turned into a sea of fire.
???
Linde was somewhat bewildered by this scene.
Was this part of the plot?
Then, he shook his head.
This was a real world, and a small variable could change the world.
Not to mention, he, a transmigrator, had appeared.
It wouldn't be surprising for anything to happen then.
"Hmm?"
Linde's gaze sharpened, and he summoned the system panel.
The Demon Contract skill was glowing faintly.
"It seems there's someone here with the qualifications to be a Retainer/Subordinate."
Following the skill's guidance, he quickly found his target.
It was a young girl wearing simple clothes, with pink twin pigtails.
Although simply dressed, her natural beauty was undeniable.
However, at this moment, her eyes were filled with terror.
Not far behind her, a soldier with a long sword was rapidly approaching.
Watching this scene, Anna's eyes were filled with despair and fear.
She had been living a peaceful life.
But who knew, the Kingdom Knights suddenly claimed that they were involved in the disappearance of the First Princess.
They even issued an order to slaughter the town.
She still didn't understand what all of this was for.
All she could do now was run for her life.
But the next moment...
Two more fully armed soldiers appeared on the road ahead.
Anna stopped, slumped to the ground, her eyes filled with despair.
Everything was over.
No way forward, pursuers behind.
Now, all she could do was wait for death.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, three tiny magic bullets shot out, directly piercing the bodies of the three soldiers.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As their bodies fell, they were no longer alive.
"Are you alright?"
Linde stepped forward and pulled Anna from the ground.
"Tha... thank you."
Looking at Linde's handsome face, Anna's pretty face flushed slightly, but she quickly reacted.
"Oh, right, run, hurry and run! The Hero of Cannon said we colluded with demons and wants to kill everyone."
She deeply understood how dangerous it was here, so no matter what, she couldn't let her benefactor, who saved her, get involved.
"Don't worry, can you tell me in detail?"
Linde gently patted her head and asked in a low voice.
"Actually, it seems it's all because of Kayal."
A hint of hatred flashed in her eyes: "The Hero of Cannon completely changed after seeing him."
"Before, he at least seemed very kind."
"Kayal?"
Linde suddenly understood.
Good heavens.
Most likely, this guy was targeted by the other party again.
And because of his status as a Hero, the Hero of Cannon simply killed everyone to silence them.
However... Linde asked with some confusion: "You should be childhood friends with Kayal, but why do I feel like you..."
"Who is childhood friends with that weakling?"
Anna shook her head: "He and I are, at most, acquaintances."
Did that change?
Linde nodded thoughtfully.
"So."
Anna continued: "I've told you everything I know, you should leave here quickly."
"Don't worry, a group of ants, no matter how many gather together, it doesn't matter."
My benefactor, he really doesn't seem to be afraid?
Could it be that my benefactor is really that powerful?
At this moment, Anna's mindset changed.
She slowly crouched down.
Then, she knelt on both knees, her hands resting on the ground.
Anna spoke with some trembling: "Benefactor, although it's an impudent request."
"But I hope you can help save this town, save the people here."
Linde was momentarily stunned, then smiled: "Are you sure you need my help?"
"Yes."
"Then before that, you need to understand one thing."
Linde's eyes were deep as he met Anna's gaze.
"Do you truly wish to seek help from a demon?"
"Huh?"
Anna froze in place.
