Chapter 114 Luna, the Sword-Wielding Maid
Lin'er walked out of the village and saw the villagers carrying the corpses of goblins and other monsters. They skillfully cut off the usable parts and piled the rest of the remains on the wasteland outside the village.
If these monster corpses are left unattended, they will quickly rot, which will not only lead to plagues but also the emergence of new monsters.
Ellie has gathered adventurers skilled in fire magic and priests proficient in purification spells, preparing to deal with the pile of corpses together.
Lin Er was also seeing this method of handling things for the first time. He happened to know how to use fireball, so he joined in.
First, the priest cast a purification spell on the corpse and sprinkled holy water on it, then the adventurers all cast fire magic on the corpse.
Several tongues of fire fell upon the mountain of corpses, spreading rapidly in an instant.
The corpses of these monsters burned fiercely, the flames raging and quickly spreading to the surrounding area. Then, the flames shot up ten meters high, like a tornado, a truly spectacular sight.
A wave of heat hit them, and an adventurer who was standing too close accidentally got his hair singed. Everyone laughed when they saw this and silently took a few steps back.
Everything is mostly settled.
Ellie led Luna to Lin Er and bowed solemnly: "Lord Lin Er, I have something important to tell you."
Seeing Ellie's solemn expression, Lin Er also perked up and said, "Go ahead and speak."
Ellie replied slowly, "Lord Lin'er, you must have heard what Luna said just now."
Lin Er nodded and said, "She called you 'Young Miss'—so you're not a maid, but a young lady from the Raven family?"
Ellie sighed and said, "Lord Lin'er, I did not mean to deceive you. I am indeed a maid of the Raven family, and also the daughter of Baron Raven."
Does this mean she's an illegitimate child?
Judging from Ellie's usual behavior, she has always been very low-key, and you would never guess that she is the daughter of a baron.
Lin Er couldn't help but be curious.
Ellie seemed to sense Lin Er's confusion and said softly, "I'm not an illegitimate child either."
Lin Er felt even more puzzled upon hearing this. Could it be that Ellie was persecuted by her stepmother at home, which is why she went from being a young lady to a maid?
Ellie explained, "The Raven family of Blackrock City was originally the Earl of Raven. My father was just the Earl of Raven's cousin and had no right to inherit the title at the time."
She paused, then reminded him, "Does my lord remember when I took you to an abandoned manor in Blackrock City?"
'
Lin Er nodded and said, "You mean, that manor is Earl Raven's old residence?"
"Yes," Ellie said with a look of reminiscence. "Back then, when Stormthroat struck Blackrock City, the Count and Countess Raven died on the spot. When my father arrived at the manor, it was littered with corpses—and the real Miss Raven was nowhere to be found."
Her voice trailed off: "Back then, my father used me to impersonate Miss Raven in order to inherit the title. But as I grew older, the truth eventually came out, and the title was reduced from Earl to Baron."
Unexpectedly, the Raven family has such a past.
Lin Er asked curiously, "So, it's possible that the real Miss Raven is still alive?"
"The chances are slim," Ellie sighed. "But my father has been searching for her for many years without any news of Miss Raven. With her talent, she could have quickly distinguished herself. The fact that she's still missing means she's probably in grave danger."
She suppressed her emotions and took out a scroll of contracts: "Lord Lin'er, Luna is truly grateful to you for saving Knight Raymond. She wants to repay you by becoming your maid. This is her contract."
Lin Er's gaze fell on the contract, and a line of information appeared before his eyes:
Your junior sister from your sect wants to become your personal sword-wielding maid; she is willing to offer her soul as a token, promising to never betray you.
[By infusing a wisp of spiritual energy to complete the soul contract, the sword-wielding maid will receive a soul spirit upon her death. The soul spirit retains its strength from its previous life and can control magical artifacts that are compatible with its master.]
Although she didn't know what kind of contract it was, judging from the system's prompts, Luna had essentially entrusted her life and fortune to herself.
In fact, the sword-wielding maid was of little use to him, since Luna had no cultivation and her strength at the early stage of level two was not particularly strong.
But the power of a soul is immense; it can even control magical artifacts. If one takes her life immediately after the contract is completed, one can directly obtain a soul.
Lin Er shook his head again. He wasn't that ruthless, and besides, he didn't have any magic weapons yet.
He looked up at Luna and asked, "Luna, are you really sure about this?"
Luna replied without hesitation, "Master, my mind is made up. Please accept me."
He naturally wouldn't refuse to have someone like Luna, who could enhance his combat power, join him.
"You don't need to call me master, just call me Lin'er."
Lin Er picked up the Soul Contract and poured spiritual energy into it.
The soul contract immediately ignited a blue flame, as pure as crystal, which burned out in a moment.
In the depths of his being, Lin Er could sense that he seemed to have formed some kind of connection with Luna.
At the same time, Luna felt a warmth in her heart and inexplicably felt a sense of closeness to Lin Er.
She had thought that after the soul contract was completed, her body would undergo some kind of change, such as her soul being burned or something, but now that she looked at it, nothing had happened.
She blinked at Ellie in confusion, unsure whether she had fulfilled the contract.
Ellie watched with curiosity as the contract burned away, seemingly seeing it for the first time, her expression focused.
Lin Er coughed twice, pointed to the sky, and said, "It seems that Deacon Roseline and the others have returned."
The three of them looked up at the sky at the same time, and saw two figures, one white and one gray, coming through the clouds.
The white one was faster and quickly outpaced the gray one.
As the two figures approached, their shapes gradually became visible.
Ilulian flew over riding a white-feathered dragon eagle. Lin'er waved to her when he saw her, and soon after, Ilulian landed on the white-feathered dragon eagle.
"Lin Er, are you alright? I heard you encountered a monster of level three or higher."
Lin Er replied, "It was just a one-armed troll. We've already killed it, and the body has been burned."
Ilulian looked relieved and said, "That's good."
At this moment, Roseline also arrived. After hearing Lin Er's answer, she was first surprised.
"Lin'er, did you really kill that troll?"
Lin Er said, "It was just luck. Knight Raymond fought it for quite a while before I went over and killed it."
Upon hearing this, Butler Roslin suddenly realized that with Knight Raymond holding the line, it made sense.
At this moment, Luna suddenly spoke up: "Butler, actually it was my father who asked for a duel. He couldn't defeat the troll, and it was Master who finally intervened and killed him."
Raymond couldn't win a one-on-one fight, so Lin'er killed the troll. And you call Lin'er your master?
Deacon Roslin was stunned. There was too much information to understand, and she suddenly couldn't quite grasp it.
