The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 281: I’m a Bit Different (Third Update)
After listening to Sarlin’s words, Fang Ka not only shifted his gaze through the Dark Eye Magic Array Carrier’s image but also focused on Ored beside her.
After hesitating for a moment, Fang Ka continued to ask, "So, Ored is one of the children you saved back then, is that right?"
Hearing Fang Ka’s question, Sarlin was slightly silent, then glanced at Ored beside her and nodded gently, "Yes, that’s right."
Ored’s gaze lingered on Sarlin’s face for a while, then he slowly spoke, "When you and Lord Rykai rescued us, you never told us about your past, I really didn’t expect..."
Upon hearing Ored’s words, Sarlin gently shook her head, "It’s all in the past, nothing worth mentioning. The decisions made back then, Rykai and I have never regretted."
"To end up like this now, perhaps it’s all destined."
And through the Dark Eye Magic Array Carrier’s image, Fang Ka looked at the half of Sarlin’s face that was exposed, and then looked at the still unconscious Rykai.
Judging by appearance alone, they didn’t seem much older than Ored.
Like two eighteen-year-old girls.
However, as per Fang Ka’s knowledge, many kinds of magic possess maintenance effects, allowing a person’s skin to remain youthful and not show age.
It seems likely that either Rykai or Sarlin knows this magic.
Of course, as Sarlin mentioned, even if they’re older, they probably aren’t more than thirty or forty years old, which isn’t exactly old.
Fang Ka chuckled softly, "Very well."
While Sarlin was saying these words, Fang Ka had been carefully observing her subtle movements and micro-expressions.
Based on his judgment, Sarlin probably wasn’t lying.
Of course, it wouldn’t matter even if she were lying.
Because one thing could be verified.
From Ored’s reaction on the side, it was clear that Sarlin and the others entered the Chaotic Sea Domain to survive after saving Ored and those Southern Beastmen.
They were once able to abandon a promising life as normal mages for the sake of those Southern Beastmen and hide in a corner of the Chaotic Sea Domain for survival.
So Fang Ka was not worried that they wouldn’t care about the lives of the Southern Beastmen.
After all, putting aside the cost of saving them back then, after living together for so many years, a deep bond was formed, not just with people but even with animals.
And that was enough.
So, after pondering for a moment, Fang Ka continued, "I know, perhaps in your eyes, necromancers are seen as vile beings."
"After all, the various factions of the East and West Continents have been doing their best to spread this narrative."
"Of course, it can’t be denied that most of what they say is true. But there are always exceptions."
"I believe you understand this point."
"And you’re fortunate, I am one such exception. I don’t belong to the vile necromancer category."
"Now let’s discuss a deal."
"I can ensure those Southern Beastmen continue to live peacefully and even provide them protection and the opportunity to communicate with my subordinates."
"But as a bargaining chip, I need the knights and mages among your Southern Beastmen to serve me unconditionally, following my orders and completing the tasks I assign."
"What are your thoughts on this?"
Upon hearing Fang Ka’s words, Sarlin thought she misheard: "What did you say? You mean you won’t kill us, and you’ll also provide our kin protection? And all you require is for us to serve you? Did I mishear? Are you really a necromancer?"
Fang Ka chuckled softly, "The one currently gripping your throat, do you think they’re an undead creature? And the merfolk standing beside you, why do you think they’re standing peacefully with these undead creatures?"
Upon hearing Fang Ka’s rhetorical question, Sarlin suddenly realized and immediately spoke, "Honorable Necromancer, how should I address you? If you are willing not to kill us and also provide my kin protection, then I am more than willing to provide you with anything you need and faithfully serve you."
For Sarlin, this was undoubtedly an unexpected delight.
She initially thought she was doomed, or at best, would have a hard time. But she never imagined the other party would say such things.
Upon Sarlin’s favorable response, Fang Ka immediately said, "You may address me as Fang Ka."
After these words, Fang Ka spoke again, "Now, Ored, what about you?"
Upon hearing Fang Ka’s words, Ored immediately replied, "Lord Fang Ka, I am very happy to be able to serve you."
Upon hearing Ored’s response, Fang Ka then spoke to the players, "Release them."
After hearing Fang Ka’s words, the players couldn’t help but smile.
It seems that after a simple negotiation, these bosses have been subdued by Mage Fang Ka. They practically idolize him.
Just by verbal communication, these bosses were made to completely submit.
Surely, there must be some hidden talent or skill involved, the charm is absolutely explosive.
They surely couldn’t imagine that their Mage Fang Ka used threats and inducements to deal with these Southern Beastmen.
After being released, Sarlin immediately got up from the ground and continued to speak, "Lord Fang Ka, once Rykai wakes up, I will inform her of this matter. I believe she will also happily agree and will be delighted to serve you."
Upon hearing Sarlin’s words, Fang Ka immediately replied, "Very good, now I need to tell you one thing."
"Under my protection, there are many merfolk. In the coming days, I hope you three stay at the Merfolk Islands."
"You don’t need to worry about your kin; my subordinates will arrange it."
"Every month, I can allow you to visit the island where your kin reside and see them."
"Of course, among the three of you, only one person can go each time, and it’s up to you to decide who goes."
"Regarding this, do you have any questions?"
After hearing Fang Ka’s words, Sarlin pondered for a moment, then gently shook her head, "Lord Fang Ka, I have no objections regarding this. I am willing to follow your instructions."
Seeing Sarlin so sensible, Fang Ka couldn’t help but feel more satisfied the more he looked at her.
