Melville looked at Zuo Chang aggressively, his fingers still placed on the engraving.
She smiled and continued: "Thank you for your gift, I will make good use of it. If we meet in the main game and you are defeated by this 'mark', I hope you can accept everything frankly - 伱It’s not without gain, at least you gained my friendship.”
Regarding this——
Zuo Chang really wanted to ask, how much is her friendship worth?
The biggest reason why I am so happy to inform you about the "hidden benefits" is:
Zuo Chang did not consider Melville a threat.
The battle for the title is a world task, and the intensity of the participants is incredible.
Even during the game, Zuo Chang failed to become the "Grand Champion".
That time, the "half-dragon" team from Community No. 2 gave him a head-on attack.
The body of a real dragon whose strength exceeds that of "Ghost Back";
"Dragon Language Magic" that can still cause great damage beyond sight distance;
There is also the "true dragon form" that directly transforms into a dragon.
That exorcist team left Zuo Chang with no chance of recovery and a huge defeat!
By comparison……
Melville is really not worth mentioning.
Zuo Chang looked at her and said, "Melville, if I guessed correctly, you should have come with a mission, right?"
Melville frowned slightly and reacted a little loudly: "What's going on?"
"I don't know the community you are from, but I know that the competition for the title is an irresistible temptation for every adventurer who yearns for higher places. In order to maximize the success rate, ordinary communities will promise benefits and use everything in their hands to Distribute the general's seal to his subordinates as much as possible to increase the success rate."
"I guess that's why you're here."
Melville didn't know what Zuo Chang wanted to say.
This is a routine operation.
Don't say it's her, even Lu Zheng, isn't it the same way?
but--
At this moment, she felt a little guilty.
For a leader of a community, it is certainly a good thing to have a "high-ranking adventurer" under his command;
For an adventurer, achieving a title and gaining great power are also great things.
And because of the strict conditions for participation in the championship battle, those who are qualified to participate must be extremely powerful, and must——
Zuo Chang looked at Melville, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little sarcastic: "A community has at least tens of millions of people, but at most only seven people can participate in the battle for the title. Therefore, in addition to strength, family background must also be prominent. , otherwise how could it be your turn? Melville, how about you?"
"..."
At this moment, Melville was really silent.
Zuo Chang continued: "You don't have a good family background, do you? The only thing you talk about is 'Descendant of the Witch', but what kind of honorary title is Descendant of the Witch? It's probably quite unqualified if it's used to whitewash your appearance."
Resentment breeds.
There was no emotion in Melville's green eyes, and the wave of anger hit her brain.
She clenched her fists unconsciously, narrowed her eyes and asked, "Are you humiliating me? Your Excellency?"
Zuo Chang's mood was very stable: "You can think so, I don't mind."
A solemn silence appeared under the statue of the god.
In the spacious room, the only sound was the sound of water in the fountain.
Zuo Chang stood under the statue of the god of heaven, and Melville was four or five meters away from him, sitting on the edge of the fountain. Neither of them spoke.
After the initial irritation, Melville slowly calmed down.
Her mind was spinning, and there was inevitably something in her heart——
sorrow.
As Zuo Chang said, being a descendant of the crowned witch is not an honorary title.
Compared with his rather gorgeous appearance, Melville's identity is not that luxurious. The only thing she deserves praise for is her innate talent for alchemical magic.
She dresses herself up carefully, learns all kinds of etiquette, and tries her best to imitate the words and deeds of "upper class people", but...
Melville knew in her heart that she had never been part of that circle.
In this "battle for the title", she had no chance.
She barely qualified after making a "commitment" to some big shot.
If she falls short, of course everything will be reduced to nothing and she will die on the road;
If she can break through the Tower of Natural Selection and successfully obtain the identity of an exorcist, then she will have to serve as the big shot's concubine, which is another sense of giving.
Melville saw no problem with this.
The one in power is always winning. She has nothing, so she has to pay more.
Now……
The opportunity seemed to come.
Melville turned his head and looked at Zuo Chang who was looking at the statue of the god - this man was very unkind and graceless.
However, he seems to understand the battle for the title very well and has very strong fighting power.
Following him seems to bring you closer to your dream.
"cough."
Melville cleared his throat and was about to speak.
Zuo Chang turned around and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to keep coughing. I can react quickly."
"..."
All right.
Melville said: "Mr. Zuo, you have just offended me, but I don't care. I am magnanimous and can understand your rudeness."
Zuo Chang looked at her in confusion: "You were obviously the one who offended me first. Melville, I still like how you act like a commoner. Can you please recover?"
"...You can't be called a man with such a petty mind! I think you should be more considerate of me. After all, I am a lady. What do you think?"
"I have long been taught by the Internet to be a true egalitarian, and your tactics are of no use at all."
"??"
What is this Zuo Chang talking about?
Zuo Chang looked at her with a smile, and asked with a bit of curiosity: "Now I am very curious about what price you paid to get here. Melville, I think I have been very rude, but you are actually willing to swallow your anger... Do you really want to win?"
Melville thought that now might be the time for candor.
Zuo Chang is a powerful helper.
It was in her interest to be honest with him.
She raised her chin slightly and said domineeringly: "There is no price. I made a deal to a notorious noble in 5245, promising to be his lover for three years after becoming an exorcist."
Zuo Chang didn't react much when he heard this: "After becoming an exorcist, you have to be his lover for three years?"
"yes."
"...Is he handsome?"
Melville smiled and said: "He is so ugly that it breaks my heart."
Zuo Chang couldn't understand it anymore: "Can you accept this? With the combat power you just showed, I think you should have more choices."
"I have no choice, Mr. Zuo. When the championship battle was just announced, the general of 5245 immediately sent someone to find me, hoping that I would represent him in the battle - but just one day later, I lost my qualifications."
Melville looked calm.
She raised her hand and smoothed the ends of her hair: "It's the great nobleman who is behind this. He denies my right to choose. If I still want to participate in the title fight, I can only agree to his conditions."
Zuo Chang was silent.
Melville raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "It's actually not bad, right? For us adventurers, strength is the material basis and the source of status. If I can seize this opportunity, no matter how others oppress me now, I will You can oppress others however you want in the future. This should be... fair."
