Chapter 79 Entrusting One's Life

  The castle lord's residence, Li Xie's bedroom.

  This is a spacious and elegant room, simply decorated, if you don't count the gold-plated bed.

  Inside the bedroom, there were only Li Xie and Jack. Zayn Malik, Van Diesel, and Kano were outside the room, even Miao Miao, who was inseparable from Li Xie, was lured out by a few bottles of wine to drink.

  Call Jack into the room, Li Xie's purpose is to want Jack's loyalty!

  Jack is the only available general in Li Xie's hands, and the 150,000 troops in the future, or even more, will be controlled by this person. If he has a different mind, it will be Li Xie's biggest trouble!

  Furthermore, with Jinling War Chicken now being Jack's demonic pet, a 9th-tier Sword Saint combined with an 8th-tier demonic beast, his strength might not be inferior to Vandi Sel!

  If Jinling War Chicken is promoted to a 9th-tier demonic beast, then Jack will be the second 9th-tier summoner in the Tudor dynasty! In terms of strength, he can at least fight evenly with the 9th-tier giant dragon Zeennard.

  So Jack will actually hold half of Li Xie's power! Such an important person, just his one sentence "do my best", how can Li Xie be at ease?

  At least, I must make an oath to the gods of the earth!

  "Jack, talking alone with you, do you know why?" Li Xie sat down beside the bed, stroking his golden bed.

  In the room, it's just you and me, you sit on the edge of the bed, touching the bed, asking me why? This...

  Jack's serious face twitched slightly before he said, "The master is about to head to Manny City. Is there anything you'd like to secretly instruct me to take care of?"

  Li Xie said with a smile: "Fan Di, Ze En, Ka No, and you, you are all my trusted advisors. There's no need to speak separately about secrets! This time I'm going to Manny City, the journey is far, just walking back and forth will take half a month. During this time, all major and minor matters in Chrysanthemum City will be handled by you and Xiao An..."

  "I don't believe you!" Jack said expressionlessly.

  Clever person!

  "No, even if I were to give you the Chrysanthemum City, I wouldn't bat an eye at you. If you want it, I can immediately present it to His Majesty, this isn't a test of your intentions!" Li Xie was indeed not testing him, his eyes showed his sincerity, one city was nothing, in Li Xie's view, with people came cities! Moreover, he still had Plum Blossom City and Orchid City.

  "Sir, I'm a soldier, and my head is rather dull. I only understand straightforward talk. I hope you'll excuse me!"

  Ha ha, saying I'm being evasive?

  Li Xie smiled and said, "I can give you the city, give you money, give you power! Because I trust you! However, there is one thing, if I hand it over to you, I have to consider whether your trustworthiness is worth it! You tell me, how much trust do you deserve from me?"

  "Sir, as long as I have the ability to protect this thing for you, sir, you can trust me! It depends on what kind of thing you want to entrust to me."

  "My life." Li Xie smiled and said.

  Jack's expression turned stern, and he stared at Li Xie: "Your life is in my hands, I dare not make a reckless decision about whether you are worthy of your trust! All I can tell you, sir, is that if you lose your life, it must be because mine has already been lost!"

  "Hehe......" Li Xie smiled: "Anyone can say polite words, you don't need to say polite words to me! I'll also make it clear, I can immediately let your magic pet advance in rank and make you a 9th-tier summoner!"

  Jack's pupils contracted involuntarily, and his heart skipped a beat!

  After obtaining the Golden Feathered War Chicken, he also had his own thoughts. Now he is an official in the territory of the Evil Duke, according to the imperial law, he only needs to be responsible to the lord, that is, Li Xie is responsible, although he also has to listen to Mercedes VII, but the lord's order is the highest command.

  In other words, a lord can have private soldiers and Jack is Li Xie's private soldier!

  There is a problem here!

  If Jack's contracted beast advances to 9th rank, he will be the only 9th rank summoner in the Tudor Dynasty (Jack is unaware that Duke Rheinhardt is already a 9th rank summoner). The influence of a 9th rank summoner on the nation is crystal clear to Jack. So, he can also imagine that once he becomes a 9th rank summoner, Mercedes VII will likely take him back into the imperial roster under various pretexts.

  For him, wherever he serves, he does his best to do a good job, whether it's by Li Xie's side or Mercedes-Benz's 7th generation, so for him, it doesn't matter where.

  But in Jack's view, if he were to be summoned back to the court, Li Xie would definitely not be willing to help him, but he also couldn't disobey Mercedes VII. In this case, Jack thought that unless he pledged his loyalty to Li Xie and promised never to abandon him, Li Xie would not be able to help him, nor would he allow his demonic pet to advance in rank!

  So Li Xie said this, Jack understood, Li Xie wanted him to be loyal!

  Jack is a clever man and also a strong figure with his own pride!

  He can be a subordinate, diligent and responsible, but his loyalty is completely different, that's acknowledging a master!

  In Jack's heart, he didn't think anyone was worthy of his loyalty, worthy of serving as a master!

  Seeing him smile, he said: "The adult's intention, the lower official understands, it's just that if the adult wants to help the lower official's magical pet upgrade, they must ask for the help of Duke Aiwier. His Majesty will also know about this matter. The adult should know what a ninth-level summoner means, and His Majesty is likely to recall the lower official. And if the adult does not agree, His Majesty may not agree with Duke Aiwier helping the lower official's magical pet upgrade either. In that case, it would only make things too awkward between the adult and His Majesty, so the lower official will just accept the adult's kindness!"

  Li Xie shook his head: "You think that in the Tudor dynasty, only Duke Evie can help an eighth-level magic beast advance to a ninth-level magic beast?"

  Jack was stunned, thinking for a moment, the Tudor dynasty didn't have any eighth-level or higher priests, and the only one who could help an eighth-level demon beast advance was Saint Priestess Duchess Evie!

  "Sir, please speak more clearly, I am really stupid."

  Li Xie could roughly guess what Jack was thinking, in fact, even if Li Xie asked Duke Avril to help Jin Feng's fighting chicken advance in rank, Mercedes VII wouldn't be jealous and want someone!

  However, Li Xie didn't want to borrow Duke Aiwei's hand to help Jin Feng's fighting chicken advance in rank. This kind of great favor, Li Xie naturally wanted to do himself!

  Li Xie smiled and said, "There is still someone who can help your Golden Winged War Chicken advance in rank, not just to the 9th rank, but also to the 10th, 11th, or even 12th rank! However, Duke Elwes cannot do this for you. Even if she could, you should be clear that she would prioritize helping His Majesty's magical beasts advance in rank, and it wouldn't be your turn. Only I can help you! But the matter of advancing in rank concerns my own life. Simply put, next, you will learn a secret, and if you reveal this secret, I will die without a burial ground. So, I must know whether I can entrust my life to you!"

  "Old man, you......" Jack was more and more shocked!

  Can help Warcraft advance to the twelfth rank, isn't it a divine master? That's a semi-divine existence!

  Is it just boasting or does he really have the ability?

  If it's just bragging, then whatever, but if he can actually do it, what kind of person is the Evil Duke? Is he a demigod himself or does he know a demigod?

  Let's take a step back and ask why it would be related to life or death? And yet, he is willing to entrust me with something that could affect the evil duke's life.

  "Heh heh, don't be surprised, I naturally have a way to help your Warcraft level up. However, since it's a secret, no one can know about it. The people who can know must be those whom I can trust with my back turned towards them! Jack, let me ask you again, can I trust you, turn my back to you and entrust my life to you?"

  A duke is willing to entrust his life, what else can Jack be proud of?

  "Sir," said Jack bluntly, "I'd like to ask you a question."

  "Speak!"

  "If something happens to me, how will you treat my little sister An?"

  Li Xie's expression turned solemn: "Master Meng is above! If you unfortunately pass away, I, Li Xie, swear to treat Xiao An as if she were my own younger sister!"

  "My lord! My lord has treated me with kindness, I shouldn't be arrogant!" Jack knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists: "The God of the Earth is above! If Duke Ye doesn't abandon Jack, Jack will swear to follow Duke Ye for life! Not betraying, not abandoning!"

  "Good!"

  Jack stood up and smiled: "Sir, now you can entrust your life to Jack. As I always say, unless I die, sir's life won't be lost!"

  "Haha... This sentence is quite different from the previous one! And, you look ugly when you laugh! It's better to be cool."

  "Uh..."

  "Alright, let's get down to business." Li Xie said in a low voice: "My body is quite special, my flesh not only can heal the wounds of magical beasts, but also... it can even help them upgrade! The healing has been tested, as for upgrading, I'm not entirely sure, but I'm about 80% certain. I'll cut off one of my hands and you can feed it to the Golden Winged War Chicken right away! Wild magical beasts are all at the critical point of upgrading, I believe that if the Golden Winged War Chicken eats my flesh, it will upgrade immediately!"

  Jack stared at Li Xie with wide eyes as if looking at a monster, he really didn't dare to believe what his ears had heard! Can human flesh help demons upgrade?

  These days, Meow meowed and bit Li Xie twice for no reason. Jack knew that Li Xie's body could recover quickly, even if he lost a limb, he could regenerate it. This had made him exclaim in surprise for a long time, but he couldn't have imagined that Li Xie's flesh could also help the demon beast upgrade, this was too unbelievable!

  No wonder the adults said it's a matter of entrusting one's life! If outsiders were to find out, I'm afraid the adults would be torn to shreds in no time!

  "If my flesh leaves my body, it will burn out in about five seconds. You can feed the Golden Feathered Warfowl within five seconds, don't let it out for now, this matter, it still cannot know!"

  "Yes! Sir!"

  "Bring me the sword!"

  "Adults... I don't need a sword..."

  "Bring me the knife!"

  "Adult... I don't have a knife..."

  "Then what do you use?"

  Gun!

  Li Ye was extremely depressed and wanted to cut off his own hand, but couldn't find a sharp tool. He looked around and suddenly remembered that he himself had a sharp tool!

  The changing fingernails are as sharp as a blade, no worse than any sharp tool!

  Extend your left hand's fingernails by one foot, pointing at your right hand. Li Ya gritted his teeth: "Be careful to catch my hand, and also quickly feed the Golden Winged War Chicken."

  Li Xie steeled himself, gritted his teeth and bore the intense pain as the blade of the sword quickly sliced down. His right hand was severed at the elbow, but Jack's quick reflexes allowed him to catch Li Xie's severed arm before it hit the ground. Then, he immediately summoned the Golden Feathered War Chicken, which was still confused about what was happening, and stuffed the severed hand into its beak.
