Chapter 152 - Probing
This time, Flanders was completely dumbfounded. He originally thought that the master-servant contract with the mother strange creature would have a strange creature egg attached to it.
In the end, the master-servant contract with the black-haired strange creature had a serious mistake after its birth.
The contract that originally had the initiative was modified into a symbiotic contract by the other party when the other party used the fact that it had yet to be born and the contract had yet to take effect.
From one-sided binding the other party below him, it became a two-way binding that he was forced to do with the other party.
Symbiotic for life.
And now, Flanders was surprised to find that the master-servant contract that he had originally signed with the strange mother had disappeared!
Yes, it had disappeared just like that!
Flanders summoned Sword Apophis in the s.p.a.ce of consciousness and asked, "what"s going on? Why is the master-servant contract invalid? It"s not like that woman wasn"t born. She really exists. The contract should have been effective from the beginning, right?"
Hearing Flanders"s question, Sword Apophis was stunned at first, then fell into deep thought.
This question did leave its blind spot of knowledge. It could still answer it.
"This is because the relations.h.i.+p of the mother and the newborn is much closer than the master"s. Therefore, under the premise that both parties have a symbiotic contract, master and that strange creature are seen to be the same strange creature. The close relations.h.i.+p covers the contract.
In essence, the other party is below the master, but it won"t listen to you, master."
"This is like ancient times, where the master-slave relations.h.i.+p between va.s.sals and va.s.sals without mutual obligations."
"What, how can there be such a situation?"
Hearing this, Flanders understood. At the beginning, there was indeed a master-servant contract, but after the master-servant contract with the black-haired strange creature became a symbiotic contract, the master-servant contract with the strange mother disappeared because of the strange black-haired woman.
Of course, according to Sword Apophis, this kind of situation would not really make the contract disappear. At the very least, the contract itself was dead, and it would not disappear on its own.
This situation could only happen because of black hair strange creature"s manipulation. Black hair strange creature changed the contract with Flanders, and at the same time, canceled the contract between the mother strange creature and Flanders.
As she and Flanders were symbiotic for life, from the soul, from the root, and from the essence, they could be seen as the same existence, so black hair strange creature"s manipulation was considered feasible.
Of course, this operation was based on the fact that the strange creature mother had a close relations.h.i.+p with the black hair strange creature. As the guard she was born with and her own mother, the strange creature mother was born with the label of the black hair strange creature.
Therefore, the black hair strange creature was able to adjust the contract with the strange creature mother.
If it was other contracts under Flanders, the black hair strange creature did not have the right and ability to interfere.
After understanding this, Flanders wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only say nothing.
In this situation, it seemed like he had suffered a loss, but in reality, from the perspective of the outcome, he had not suffered any losses.
The black-haired strange creature had a symbiotic relations.h.i.+p, and both sides had the same interests.
Flanders could control the black-haired strange creature by controlling the power of speech, which was slightly more troublesome than before.
And the disappearance of the contract with the mother strange creature seemed to be a loss.
But in reality, it was not. Due to the symbiotic contract with the black-haired creeper, Flanders could still enjoy the strength bonuses of the wild boar strange creature. the lady strange creature and the mother strange creature..
On the contrary, the black-haired strange creature could also enjoy the strength bonuses provided by Sword Apophis, Black, and the other strange creatures that Flanders had subdued.
From this point of view, Flanders had profited.
Because in this way, the black-haired strange creature"s strength would be much stronger than before.
If the contract with the black-haired freak was still the master-servant contract, the black-haired strange creature"s strength would definitely be much weaker than before.
This was the strength of the symbiotic contract.
Now, under the coercion of the symbiotic contract, the relations.h.i.+p between Flanders and the black-haired strange creature was closely linked, no longer separate from each other.
Although the process was unexpected and many unexpected situations happened, the overall outcome was good, and all the effects that Flanders wanted could be obtained.
Moreover, do not forget that this was a strange creature egg. If it was encountered, it would be a profit, a situation that could be encountered but not sought.
From the very beginning, Flanders had not suffered any losses.
Moreover...
Looking at the black hair strange creature that was being protected, Flanders"s originally wild and restless heart sank into a long-awaited calm.
From the moment he was born, and Flanders had started to act as a strange creature, his heart was crazy, just like an ocean that rose and fell, surging and surging without stopping for even a moment.
Constantly killing people, becoming stronger, and doing everything he could to let himself enjoy for a moment would only bring a short period of peace to Flanders"s heart.
But it was unable to transmit this peace to the depths of his heart.
It was like the deep sea. It looked very calm, but in reality, there was an undercurrent surging, filled with an invisible madness and danger.
It was the same for Flanders. He could not calm down. He wanted to release this madness, release this uneasiness that had suddenly turned into a scarecrow.
Actually... Flanders had always been very lonely.
And now, whether it was active or pa.s.sive, there was indeed a person in front of Flanders who could hope to understand him, accompany him, and be equivalent to him.
Suddenly, Flanders somewhat understood why, in many works, the protagonist could always survive the enemy"s plot.
Because, it was possible that it was not because the protagonist was powerful, but because the villain subconsciously left a way out for the protagonist in his own plot.
This was a test for the main character, a test to see if the other party could find this way, a test to see if the other party had the right to be taken seriously by him.
Besides success, the thing that every villain yearned for the most was a counterpart who could understand him.
Flanders was not a villain, at least he thought so.
In the real world, everyone and every existence was the main character in their own world.
And Flanders was doing what he thought the main character should do.
Making this empty and boring world even more wonderful.
Many people liked to dye the world with their own colors. Flanders chose black, which symbolized terror, and red, which brought madness to people.
Leaving his own mark on the world was not enough for Flanders.
What he wanted was to become his own shape.
This path was destined to be difficult from the start, and it was originally lonely.
But now, Flanders smiled. Sharp fangs appeared in front of everyone, and a twisted and crazy smile appeared on Flanders"s face.
Red light flickered in the position of his eyes, indicating the excitement in his heart.
He saw the person who could accompany him to enjoy the scenery of the journey, share the joy, and fight against difficulties together.
"Do you want to play games with me?"
Flanders took off the Sword Apophis on his back. He held the soul-devouring scythe in one hand and the hilt of the Sword Apophis in the other.
"Awoo!"
The wild boar responded to Flanders with a strange, angry, and a crazy roar.
