I release a sigh while looking at the 'little' girl in front of . She is sipping the tea like there is nothing wrong in the world. If not for healing them, there will be two people dying right now. However, there is another problem that I need to face. I look at her and say.
"Can you tell him to get away from ?"
"Nope~"
Altrouge answers with a teasing tone.
"Primate Murder loves a dragon, and it's been a while since he saw it. Don't worry. He only wants to play and have a mock battle."
I release a sigh once again as the Primate Murder licks my face. Adult-Fou might act cute like this and want to play, but I am still part of Primate, not Full Dragon. 'Playing' with a beast that is known to be a killing machine that can kill primate species with a sneeze is not good for my health.
'Then let play with that puppy.'
'Are you sure, Grandeeney?'
'Yes. It's been a while since I stretched my wings. Also, he is only effective against Primate, right?'
'That is true. However, please don't underestimate him.'
'I will not'
With a deep breath, I let out a massive amount of mana and created a massive portal for Grandeeney. A second later, a massive white dragon cos out of the portal, and Primate Murder looks at her with joy before leaping at her.
The two of them fly to the sky and start to 'fight,' and I an by that, they start to fight. I can feel shockwave after shockwave happening in the air. Yup. I am glad I am not the one 'playing' with Adult-Fou.
"Oh my~ You have a strong dragon over there."
"Thank you. She is my stepmother."
"Really? Interesting."
She takes a sip and continues.
"You are the most interesting 'human' I have ever seen. Your soul is the soul of a dragon, your heart is that of a dragon, your lungs are that of a dragon, your bone is that of a dragon, and your blood is that of a dragon, but your nature is that of a human. You are a human, but most of your body is that of a dragon. Don't get to the small portion of divinity in your body. A blessing, maybe? There are three of them. Storm, Sun, and Moon."
"What is it? Please get to the point."
"My point is…"
She appears next to and licks my neck.
"You have the most delicious sll I've ever slled in a while. I wonder if you are willing to let suck so of that."
"Nah. I don't like soone sucking my blood or playing with it."
"What a sha. How about this? Let's make a contract. I will not do anything to your blood other than drink it; in return, I will give you sothing very good. Don't worry. I will also make sure to write that the compensation will not hurt you physically, ntally, magically, or spiritually. What do you think?"
I look at her for a few seconds and say.
"Let's wait for Zelretch to return. I cannot promise you anything before he returns."
Altrouge is known as Master of Blood and Contract because she has never once broken her contract when offered. Not only that, the contract she creates is sothing that binds it to their essence instead of their magic or souls—making the contract sothing that cannot be broken, even when you are a God.
"What is it, Ryan?"
I snap from my thoughts when I see Zelretch walk out of the rainbow portal. He looks at for a second before his eyes land on Altrouge, and sighs.
"What do you want, Altrouge?"
"Fufufufu~ I am here not because I want to cause trouble, Zelretch. I co here on the order of Gaia itself. It wants to protect him from anyone and anything. However, I don't think he needs any protection."
She looks to the sky and sees Primate Murder and Grandeeney still in an intense battle with each other. They look like they are fighting, but I know she is not going into serious mode, and I have the sa feeling as Primate Murder. Their attacks do not reach us, showing that they are holding back quite a lot.
"He is also strong. Strong enough to fight against the higher-ranking magus in the world. He might lose against the Top fifty or even the top seventy if he is not careful, but under that? He can fight them and co out a victor."
"That still does not answer my previous question. What do you want? You can protect him in the shadows without causing this much chaos."
"And where's the fun in that? Unlike my sister, I know how to have fun. Watching them running away like that brings amusent for . Don't lecture on this because I know you also find it amusing."
Zelretch stays silent for a few seconds before saying.
"Write your needs in the contract, and I will read it before Ryan signs the contract."
Altrouge lights up and snaps her finger. Zelretch takes the parchnt and reads the content. After a few seconds, he looks at Altrouge and says,
"Are you sure you want to give this? It is one of your most beloved treasures, after all. I know you, Altrouge. You hoard your treasure like a dragon. You never give sothing as valuable as this one."
"What can I say? His blood slls so delicious that I know it is worth the price. I also don't write the second part that makes that treasure valuable, does it?"
"And you know I can show him that."
"Then good for him!"
Zelretch looks at her for a few seconds and releases a sigh. He turns to and says,
"Alright, Ryan. This contract requires you to give her a liter of blood. That's it. In return, she will not use your blood in anything other than drinking it. She wants it to be like wine. Drink it every now and then."
"That is easy enough."
"Not only that, he will also give you the key to the Treasury of the King. It is key to give access to the Gate of Babylon of Gilgash."
