Chapter 115: Chapter115-Ten Treasures
"What request?"
"The monster's level can be at fifty, the number of branded sets can be just twenty, and I can even provide you with the materials for free, as long as you agree to one request of mine.
If one day I find myself in need, I ask that John lend me a hand to overcome any difficulties."
Facing Barry's sincere gaze, John suddenly smiled.
"How about this, Barry? We'll make a contract. For the next thirty years, whenever you come to me, as long as your request doesn't involve my interests or those of anyone related to me, I will help you to the best of my ability. Does that work?"
"Then let's wish for a pleasant cooperation."
Barry extended his hand, looking sincerely at John. John also extended his hand, grasping Barry's in a firm handshake.
But in fact, John was making a small calculation.
After all, he had less than two years left, so a thirty-year promise was nonsense.
However, to accomplish the task at hand, John had no qualms about making big promises.
"Summoning the monster requires offerings, usually the corpses of monsters.
The higher the level and the greater the number, the stronger the summoned monster will be.
With my current strength, it's best to summon a level 60 monster. Barry, you can start collecting monster corpses now."
"That's no problem. I can provide them to Master John right now.
The auction house deals in monster corpses, as many customers want to auction complete monster corpses for collections or for forging materials.
I'll have someone bring them over immediately."
"No problem. As soon as the offerings arrive, we can start the summoning ritual.
Also, here is a list of materials needed for forging the branded weapons and armor.
Please collect them according to the quantity for twenty sets. It should take about two days to complete."
"Thank you, Master John."
Barry bowed respectfully, then looked at the maids behind him and coughed lightly, prompting them to step forward.
"Master John, these maids have been well-trained and are very obedient. If you like, consider them a gift to celebrate our cooperation."
"No, thank—"
Before John could finish, three small hands pinched his waist simultaneously, causing him to gasp in pain.
Facing the resentful gazes of the three women, John forced a smile and had to reluctantly refuse the offer.
"It's not appropriate, Barry. I appreciate the offer, but please keep the maids."
As a businessman, Barry excelled at reading people. Noticing the hostility from Elaria and the others toward the maids, Barry quickly understood.
Each of the three women beside John was a stunning beauty. The only thing they might feel insecure about was their body size.
"I understand. It seems I was being inconsiderate, Master John. I'll go hurry up my subordinates to speed things along. Please, take a rest here in the meantime."
"Of course! My service is all about customization. Whether you prefer a specific type or species of monster, feel free to ask."
"Well... I do have a particular request."
Barry rubbed his hands and cautiously leaned in to whisper in John's ear. John smiled knowingly.
"Barry... you've got some hidden depths, don't you?"
"Not at all... Can you make it happen, Master John?"
"Of course... not! A monster is a monster; I can't fulfill that particular desire. But since you want a contract monster like a fox, I can help you with that.
Now, let's get started. Bring over all the monster corpses."
With that, a dazzling light suddenly emanated from the six-pointed star formation under John's feet.
As more monster corpses were added, Barry could clearly feel the increasingly powerful aura hidden beneath the star formation.
"I have offered the sacrifices, respond to my summons!"
A strong light flashed, causing Barry to hurriedly cover his eyes with his hands.
Through the gaps between his fingers, he could vaguely see a multi-tailed fox emerging from the magic circle.
"Frost fox, level 54. The quality of your sacrifices was ultimately lacking, so this is the best I could do."
Looking at the immaculate frost fox, its fur smooth like silk, Barry was instantly captivated.
Although John couldn't fulfill his little wish, seeing the frost fox in its entirety made any lingering disappointment vanish completely.
It was simply a work of art!
With its slender body, six fluffy tails, alluring eyes, and the touch of azure between its brows, Barry couldn't be more satisfied.
"Barry, you can't approach it yet."
Seeing Barry itching to move closer, John quickly stopped him and explained, "The contract hasn't been signed yet."
"What do I need to do?"
"It's simple. Just give me a drop of your blood."
"That's easy!"
Barry nodded heavily, took a dining knife from the tray, and swiftly cut his finger.
Blood flowed like a spring, and with a thought from John, the frost fox stepped forward and swallowed Barry's blood.
"Finally, sign your name on the contract scroll."
"Got it! Let me see... here! Barry, done!"
"It's finished. It's yours now."
With these words, Barry beamed with joy. Ignoring the presence of John and the others, he lunged at the frost fox!
In response, the frost fox stepped forward, ice spreading from its paws, freezing Barry in place.
Its enchanting eyes seemed to say, "Who the heck are you? I'm a male!"
