CHAPTER 760: 597 REIGER’S NEW ATTENDANT

"......"

"......"

"......"

Silence had once again spread amongst the three people in the tomb chamber without them realizing it.

Having regained consciousness, Liz, together with Reiger, watched Yuloli, who slightly tilted her head, sitting in front of them, and they were unable to speak for a long time.

"What should we do now, Master?"

Liz could only look towards Reiger with a troubled expression.

"...I can’t make up my mind either."

Reiger frowned deeply, displaying a rare look of perplexity.

He indeed didn’t know how to deal with the situation before him.

Originally, he had resurrected Yuloli to obtain the information that both he and Liz wanted from her.

Whether it was about the dimensional cube or the Hidden Land, others might not be clear, but Yuloli, the last queen of the ancient magic civilization, definitely knew something, and should be able to unravel many of Reiger’s doubts.

With that in mind, Reiger had tried to resurrect Yuloli, simply thinking of asking the person involved to avoid further troubles.

But now, things had gotten out of hand.

Queen Yuloli had been successfully brought back, but not as a human being. Instead, she was resurrected as an undead, gaining a new identity, a new life.

It seemed as if her memory was entirely gone, only reacting to the name "Yuloli Reinnaier," appearing completely like a newborn baby in all other aspects, even unable to speak.

And, unfortunately, this reborn vampire girl was an undeniable monster, one that even Reiger, her creator, could not fully control.

Such a powerful yet ignorant vampire, if left unattended, would lead to consequences that even Reiger dared not to imagine.

The worst-case scenario would be the vampire losing control and launching attacks on anyone she sees in her desire to consume fresh blood, as she had done earlier.

If that were to happen, how many people would become victims?

Even Reiger had been injured by this vampire girl in their initial encounter; how many people could protect themselves from her if she were to go outside?

By then, Reiger feared that he might create a demon lord for this world.

So now, Reiger also didn’t know what to do except for one certainty—he absolutely could not leave this vampire girl unattended, or there would be dire consequences.

"How about... we take her with us?"

Liz cautiously made her suggestion.

"Are you sure?"

Instead of agreeing, Reiger questioned Liz, causing her to shrink back.

Truthfully, even now, Liz did not understand what had happened.

She did not know what had transpired with Yuloli and simply thought, as Reiger had said earlier, that Yuloli had been successfully resurrected, but something seemed to have gone wrong with the resurrection, making her esteemed ancestor a bit slow-witted...

Yet, she understood that her ancestor had become a very dangerous existence.

The little princess had not forgotten that upon awakening, her ancestor had plunged her into an uncontrollable state.

If not for her proficiency in the War King Sword Skill, which had developed in spiritual power, she might not have regained consciousness so easily.

The fact that she had attacked her master showed that she had become very aggressive.

Having such a dangerous person by her side, even Liz could grasp the magnitude of the problem.

"Then... let the Master decide."

The little princess could only meekly utter such words, causing Reiger to let out a bitter smile.

However, Reiger did not agonize for too long.

"Given the current situation, there are only a few ways to handle her."

Reiger sighed, then continued.

"Either let her return to dust as if she had never been resurrected."

"Or seal her away so she cannot leave."

"Or as you suggested, keep her by our side."

These were undeniably solutions of varying quality: the best, the mediocre, and the worst.

The best solution would be to execute Yuloli directly, putting an end to the matter once and for all.

The mediocre solution would be sealing, which could only provide a temporary fix.

The worst solution would be to keep her close, under strict supervision.

Although it would certainly be dangerous, it wasn’t without benefits.

Firstly, Yuloli currently showed no signs of resistance or cognition against her creator. If Reiger concentrated on controlling and training her, there’s no reason he couldn’t completely take her into his hands, adding a powerful force to his ranks.

Secondly, Yuloli may have no memory now, but who knows what the future holds?

Perhaps, her memories were not entirely lost, just yet to be restored. If she regained her memories later on, then Reiger and Liz could possibly learn from this queen about the dimensional cube, the Hidden Land, and even the secrets of the ancient magic civilization.

These matters were closely related to both Reiger and Liz. The reason they left the royal capital was to solve these mysteries. Therefore, Yuloli, who could likely help them achieve their goals, should not be recklessly discarded.

Of course, there was definitely a risk involved, it just depended on whether Reiger was willing to take it.

"If you were to choose, how would you decide?"

Reiger pondered in his heart while asking Liz.

"Me, I?"

Liz was also immediately entangled.

As far as personal desires went, she definitely didn’t want to choose the best strategy.

Without mentioning the intricate connection between Yuloli and herself, Liz simply could not bring herself to decide to erase her. To say that the other party had only just been revived and hadn’t had the chance to do anything before being executed as a dangerous existence was, without a doubt, very cruel to the little princess.

Therefore, this so-called best strategy was something Liz instinctively didn’t want to choose.

The middle strategy followed the same logic.

At the very least, Liz couldn’t bring herself to unreasonably seal away an innocent person who hadn’t had the chance to do anything.

That left only the worst strategy as an option.

But this returned to the original problem.

The little princess, unable to think of anything, could only cast a pitiful look at Reiger, prompting him to chuckle.

"Alright, it would be too cruel to make you make this decision," he said.

Not that Reiger had intended to let Liz make the final decision, anyway.

After thinking for a bit, Reiger turned his gaze back to Yuloli.

"..."

The vampire girl still sat there, blinking, no longer looking at Reiger and Liz, but staring eagerly at the blood on Reiger’s hand, as if she wanted to bring her mouth close to it, yet had some reservations.

Seeing this, Reiger finally made a decision.

"Take her away," he ordered.

In the end, Reiger couldn’t bear to give up such a formidable force.

This was a servant that could potentially be even stronger than himself; anyone else creating such a strong undead would certainly be ecstatic.

For instance, Bone Sovereign—if he could use his own magic to create such a powerful undead, he would definitely not discard it, but do everything in his power to dominate her.

It was indeed the necromantic magic singer’s ultimate masterpiece, one that might not be obtainable even in exchange for a world-class item.

At the very least, within the Nasalik Underground Tomb, Lubedo—who was likely crafted from a world-class item and was the strongest single NPC—would definitely not be a match for this newly born vampire girl.

As such, both morally and rationally, Reiger had no reason to abandon her.

The fact that Reiger could create such a powerful vampire this time was probably due to the special nature of the body used as a medium, meaning, if Reiger tried again, he definitely could not create a second vampire like her.

If he let go of this opportunity, it would be as if all his leveling had been in vain.

So, Reiger squatted down in front of the vampire girl.

"?"

The vampire girl tilted her head, looking at Reiger with confusion.

"Extend your hand."

Reiger extended his hand towards the girl like before, while giving her the instructions.

"..."

The girl keenly sensed that this time’s instruction might be different from before, that something might happen.

But she didn’t refuse, or rather, the concept of refusal wasn’t in her mind.

Reiger still had some control over her, and under the influence of this control, the vampire girl obeyed her body’s instincts and extended her hand without much resistance, placing it on Reiger’s.

The next moment, Reiger began chanting magic.

It was the tenth-tier magic—[Tenth-Tier Undead Summoning]

He chanted this magic for a simple purpose: to establish a summoning connection with Yuloli the undead, to dominate Yuloli using the control of summoned creatures.

Given that he planned to take Yuloli away, Reiger naturally wanted to strengthen his control over her.

For this purpose, Reiger was ready to use a variety of magic capable of dominating undead, to intensify to the utmost extent the weak spiritual connection between himself and Yuloli, and to enhance his dominion over her as much as possible, aiming to fully control this powerful vampire girl.

It wasn’t just ’YGGDRASIL’ magic, Reiger also planned to continue strengthening his control over Yuloli using other systems of magic.

Like right now, after Reiger had invoked several types of magic capable of dominating undead, he suddenly took out a parchment.

Liz reacted to the parchment.

"Is that... a Contract Document?"

Yes, it was a contract document capable of establishing an Attendant Contract.

Reiger was preparing to enter into an Attendant Contract with Yuloli.

The terms he drafted were simple: for Yuloli to become his attendant in exchange for him providing enough fresh blood for Yuloli.

"[Contract]."

The brief incantation was sounded, and the contract document burned in Reiger’s hands, causing a magical array to appear beneath Reiger and Yuloli.

The unique connection of an attendant contract formed between Reiger and Yuloli.

Feeling this bond, Reiger finally smiled.
