"I only want you to join my forces after the upcoming assessment," Dorothy explained in detail her request. "You are too weak now to be of any use to me. I need to properly mentor you and strive to make you stronger."
"Of course, don’t worry, you won’t have to serve me forever, just for about fifty years. I have a battle scheduled against a lord in fifty years. After that fight, you will be free. How does that sound?"
Dorothy opened her mouth to elaborate on her demands.
Although her relationship with Mother Superior had significantly improved, the fifty-year agreement still stood. If possible, she still wanted to give Mother Superior a huge surprise by demonstrating the true power of the younger generation.
Unfortunately, dreams are often far from reality.
At present, Dorothy could not see a glimmer of hope for victory. Relying solely on her efforts, it seemed far too forced to envision herself defeating the fully-staffed witch army in fifty years.
Besides, although Mother Superior currently commanded five full fleets, it’s not as if her power would cease to grow over the next fifty years.
After all, Mother Superior has just become the newly-appointed Prince of the Dragon Kingdom. As a prince’s privilege, the entire Dragon Kingdom will soon become her support, with an enormous allocation of resources going to her territory. The Shining Territory is on the brink of a period of explosive growth. Who knows how many fleets Mother Superior will command by the time of the lord’s battle in fifty years?
In short, Dorothy knew she couldn’t close the gap by herself. Therefore, she needed more allies, more support.
Now, trading this Tablet Forbidden Spell for a promise from the future leader of the Wild Hunt Legion, the Princess of the Wild Hunt – was definitely a lucrative deal.
After all, the tablet originally belonged to them. Dorothy had merely translated it, so aside from some mental exertion, it was essentially a profit made without any investment.
She had scored an Eleven-Ring Forbidden Curse for free, secured a subordinate for the next fifty years, and found a top-tier battle group ally for the upcoming battle. This was a win on all sides.
"Is that all?"
The Frost Snow Lady, hearing the Phantom King’s request, sounded slightly disappointed yet more puzzled.
Was this even a demand? Wasn’t it practically a giveaway?
After all, she was bound to choose a faction after joining the Judgment Court. Now, by joining the ranks of the Clown Grand Inquisitor, it was as if, upon entry to the company, she’d already caught the eye of senior management. Wasn’t that the sort of opportunity one could only hope for?
Moreover, the management thought she was too inexperienced and had decided to personally take her under wing for guidance to foster her growth, an opportunity many could only dream of. How could this be considered a costly price?
As for the battle against a lord in fifty years, that was even less of an issue. After all, the Wild Hunt Legion was set to compete by that time. Collaborating with Lord Clown’s team meant having a powerful ally on her side, which was definitely a major advantage. Enjoy exclusive content from novelbuddy
She knew that if Lord Clown, being so powerful, was this cautious about his opponent, that opponent must be one of the top-ranked lords.
To be honest, even though the Wild Hunt Legion was not weak in combat, they were too fixated on warfare and had serious deficiencies in other areas, making them unable to compare with those top-tier lords. Normally, they wouldn’t even qualify to face those top-tier lords and would be eliminated midway through the lord’s battle. But now, with the help of a strong figure, wouldn’t they have a chance to confront the top-tier lords?
```
You should know that for a battle-centric army like the Wild Hunt Legion, which is crazy about warfare, having a big battle against strong opponents is a great thing. If you can entertain them, then it’s fine to have them spend a little on admission and even pay for their own military expenses.
After all, they just want to fight to their heart’s content, and they don’t really care much about rankings.
Well, come to think of it, this isn’t Lord Clown asking her for a reward at all; it’s clearly the boss coming up with ways to give her a welfare boost.
Loved it, loved it. Isn’t this just the standard fantasy plot where the overbearing Sage falls in love with me? I never thought that what’s written in novels could actually be true.
At that moment, if Frost Snow Lady wasn’t very self-aware, she might have really started to wonder if Lord Clown had actually taken a fancy to her.
She felt a bit embarrassed taking advantage of him like this; she made a killing off this deal, while Lord Clown suffered a huge loss.
"Lord Clown, is this really all that you’re asking for? You can be a bit more unreasonable," she said, feeling awkward.
However, her attitude made Phantom King a bit wary.
"Has this child gone daft? I’ve already won three times and she still wants me to be more unreasonable? Damn, does she really have a thing for me? Otherwise, why would she be bending over backward for me like this?"
Dorothy, feeling like she’s already gotten a bargain out of nothing, genuinely didn’t dare to ask for more, otherwise, it would be a bit too greedy. Besides, the Princess of the Wild Hunt was being too forward and if this continued, she feared she wouldn’t be able to control herself and might actually take her person.
After all, she had seen the unveiled face of the current Duel Star on the Magic Network, a big car that could compete with Senior Mia, which really made her adrenaline rush.
If Senior Mia represents a kind of deluxe, comfortable RV suited for drivers with delicate stomachs, then the Princess of the Wild Hunt is like a powerful off-road truck. Although it’s a bit difficult to handle at first, once you get used to it, it can bring you a completely different kind of thrill, making it the favorite of drivers who seek wild adventure.
"Get lost, don’t even think about using this as a test for the officials. Which Grand Inquisitor from the Judgment Court couldn’t stand this kind of test?"
Dorothy slapped Frost Snow Lady on the back, knocking her down the mountain while also implanting the legacy of the End Spear into her body.
Alas, it was indeed an Eleven-Ring Forbidden Curse, and with only two minutes to learn it, even she couldn’t achieve Saint-level mastery right away. So this time, the spell slot she crafted for the Clown only contained Mastery-level proficiency, which was indeed somewhat tarnishing her reputation.
But no matter, the other party would be under her command soon enough. Dorothy decided that after a month or two, once Frost Snow Lady had fully comprehended the End Spear, reached Saint-level, and could cast it instantly, she would update her spell slot.
"Next, please."
Having dealt with the third candidate, Phantom King glanced at the other participants waiting nearby and said so.
After the Frost Snow Lady, she suddenly realized that these new recruits might each be a treasure. Do you guys still have more unidentified treasures from another world? I’ll appraise them for you for free.
...Dorothy rubbing her hands in eagerness...
