Chapter 63: Sequelae

Accompanied by the harsh sirens, Adam opened his eyes with difficulty. At first glance, he saw a huge head looking at him. He opened his mouth and wanted to salute the Master Victor, but because it was not normal for a long time. After eating, and decisively cutting off most of his own cell tissue just now, he was actually too weak to make a sound.
　　Mage Victor didn't care, stretched out his hand, a bottle of nutrient solution flew in front of Adam, Adam killed it in one bite, and the gentle and high energy began to slowly repair his broken body.
　　 "It's smart, but it's not free this time. You have to give me at least five years of income before you can offset the value of your use of me." Victor muttered.
　　 Adam regained some strength, and then climbed up from the ground and said, "Of course, it's reasonable, respectable Master Victor."
Adam looked at the surrounding environment and knew that he should be in the laboratory of a higher-privileged owner. Obviously, this person is the dean. This is also why he and the devil were not eliminated by the tower law enforcement in the first time. the reason.
　　 Adam politely asked for instructions, and Master Victor motioned to Adam to continue doing his own thing.
The energy digestion of the devil on the ground is about to be completed. Although the negative energy of the official level has not promoted the devil, it has also greatly enhanced its strength. Adam can see that the chaotic form of the devil has mass, and is no longer a pure will. Life, it's just that the devil cannot show its power because it is in front of the wizard, but Adam can feel from the energy escaping from it that this power has equaled or even surpassed the weak Adam.
　　唰.
The devil opened his'eyes'. From the parts of its irregular body that resemble eyes, two gray energy rays were emitted. The devil almost instantly forgot the pain he had just endured, and changed into a human form with joy, constantly I patted myself and then I saw Adam standing in front of me.
　　 "Master, I seem to be really stronger, Lord..., eh?"
　　 After the devil returned to his mind, he suddenly found that the chain that was bound to his soul had disappeared, and his sense of existence had never been as real as it is now. It was not sure to issue a weak energy attack on Adam.
　　 This energy is very weak, that is, the target in the mission has no lethality, and Adam simply has no resistance.
The devil watched as the energy hit Adam, his expression turned into ecstasy, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha, I am free, Adam, you tyrant, I will turn you into my slave and torture you for ten thousand years. !"
"a thousand years?"
　　 "Yes, ten thousand years, you have to pay for your actions!"
　　 "Will you sign a master-servant contract?"
　　 The devil was dumbfounded, it seems that it really doesn’t, but it still insists: "I...I can learn it sooner or later."
　　 "Well, do you know where you are now?"
　　 "Of course I know, I'm..." The devil's face turned pale, Mage Continent, it was in Mage Continent, not a small country plane.
　　 "It seems that you know, do you know what kind of energy is running in your body now?"
　　 The devil's face is paler.
　　 "Do you know that there will be any consequences for a masterless alien creature with a whole body of negative energy to appear in the Mage Continent?"
　　 The devil's face turned pale. Imagine it with its knees. It knew what kind of tragic ending it would face.
　　 Adam made the last cut gently: "You look back."
　　 The devil turned his head stiffly, his neck creaked, and then he saw the Victor Mage behind him.
The devil's body collapsed suddenly, and he rushed back behind Adam with a swish, and said with a trembling voice: "Lord, master, I was just joking. I will always be your most loyal servant. How dare I betray you? Let me sign a contract!"
The devil is very acquainted, and after the head dazzled by joy recovers, it immediately recognizes reality, knowing that in this world, it cannot survive without Adam's side. Of course, it can also choose to sign contracts with other mages, but I am afraid Adam will not give it this opportunity.
　　 Even now Adam looks weak enough to be blown away by a gust of wind, but he still chooses Adam in a sensible way. He knows the horror of this boy more than anyone else.
　　 Adam was familiar with the outline of the rune of the master and servant contract. The devil did not resist at all. With tears in his eyes, he felt freedom once again leaving it, and then plunged into Adam's mind and refused to come out.
　　 After all this was done, Adam formally expressed his gratitude to Master Victor: "Thank you for your help, respect Master Victor."
　　 "Well, this is a fair deal. Everything that happens in your soul is valuable knowledge. As for the end, you need to give me the cost. Of course, you are allowed to pay in installments."
　　 After the Master Victor finished speaking, he signaled Adam to leave on his own, not only because he did not have time to talk nonsense with Adam, but also because after losing the isolation and restraint of the laboratory, Adam's weak body was again in danger of being assimilated by the wizard's will.
　　 Adam slowly walked down the tower. He did not rush back to the laboratory, but walked in the academy step by step. There is no change in the architecture, but the people who change.
　　 Adam has the ability to remember. Although he is not interested in interacting with people before, he will not forget, but now he finds that the academy is full of new apprentices he has never seen before.
　　 "How long has it been?"
　　 The devil replied in Adam’s mind, "It's almost two years."
　　 Adam fell silent. Has it been so long?
The apprentices walking among the trainees also looked at Adam with surprise. The previous two enrollments were in special circumstances. One was an emergency supplement after the failure of the tower war, and the other was the extra opportunity given to Adam, a normal college. Enrollment is based on ten years, and it is still far from here. It stands to reason that there should not be talents who have not seen it in the college.
　　 But before they came forward to ask, they heard the last group of apprentices stunned: "Adam?!"
　　 Adam? Very familiar?
Adam ignored them, did not even look back, and continued to walk towards the academy. Those familiar with his character did not care about his attitude, but the surprise in his heart still could not be reduced. What happened to Adam, no one thought he could survive, but now Adam actually appeared in front of them again, even though it didn’t seem to be in good condition, but—
　　 Did Adam die?
　　 Everyone in the laboratory is still silently practicing meditation, no one speaks, because the problems encountered have no way to get answers through discussion.
　　 Suddenly William opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, I..."
　　 Click, the door of the laboratory automatically opened, interrupting William's words, and suddenly the thinking of James and Frank went blank.
　　 "Adam, Adam?!"
　　 Adam walked into the laboratory with a rare smile, threw the devil out of his mind, and whispered, "I'm back."
　　......
Early the next morning, James who was the first to come to the laboratory opened the door. I wonder if it was because of an illusion. He felt that the laboratory was full of vitality. It was a way of the future and was no longer at a loss. feel.
Among the three, he was under the most pressure. Because of his short life span, he had already exhibited an uncontrollable oldness. If not for the recent relationship with Eliot, he could get good quality medicine at a low price from him, Zhan. Mush probably couldn't even maintain his current state.
　　 He said to Adam who was sweeping the floor: "Hello, Mr. Devil."
　　The sweeping Adam was made by the devil. James knew that Adam would never do these chores with his own hands. The devil looked up at him and was too lazy to speak, then lowered his head to continue mumbling curses at Adam.
　　James knocked on the door of Adam's room and was startled to see Adam sitting in a chair silently.
　　 He did not disturb Adam, but stood by and waited. After nearly an hour, Adam's voice came: "Good morning, James. Is there anything wrong?"
　　 James brought all the questions he had accumulated for more than a year~EbookFREE.me~ He wanted to ask Adam for advice, but after seeing the scene just now, he asked worriedly: "Is the situation bad?"
Adam nodded and said indifferently: "It looks very bad now. The first is the physical damage. It probably takes a long recovery period. During this time, I need to continue to consume high-quality energy potions. But the most serious is the soul damage. ."
Although Adam defeated the mutated soul tearing magic, the sequelae caused by forcibly interrupting the promotion and forcibly separating the energy caused him a headache. Like the body, Adam is equivalent to tearing up part of his soul, but it is different from the body. The damage to the soul is more difficult to recover. According to Adam’s calculations,
　　 "It is estimated that it will take more than ten years to recover."
James was speechless. For ordinary apprentices like them, ten years was just a short period of time. Perhaps it was only enough for them to grasp the idea of ​​name, understand some necessary knowledge, and learn some common magic, but it was Adam’s progress. Speed, he has no doubt that Adam can be promoted within ten years.
　　 Of course, he still doesn't know that Adam had been promoted, but he was given up.
　　 But Adam didn't pay much attention to it. After this incident, the concept of abandonment was completely abandoned in his logic and emotions.
　　 is nothing more than more time, nothing compared to death.
　　 Just as James wanted to ask questions, the devil walked in in the image of Eliot, and said without any anger, "Master, Eliot has come to you."
　　 James smiled bitterly and put away his question. He knew that there was probably no chance today, but it didn't matter, it would be nice if Adam came back, and there is still a lot of time in the future.
