Chapter 1283 Agreement Or Fight?
"You can call me whatever you want, the most you are comfortable with even. I don't mind," Tang Shaoyang did not care what his spirits called him. Because those calls were mostly private between him and the spirits. The others could not listen to his conversation with the spirits. He knew that each spirit had its own characteristics, but this was the first one to encounter a polite spirit. Polite was the right word to describe the skeleton in front of him despite being titled Death King.
"I shall address you Tang for now, and since you don't have that much time. Let's get to the point, what can you offer me to form a contract with you, Tang?"
"I am usually offering my spirit the chance to get resurrection, a second life. I guess that's the best I can offer unless you have a specific request for me," That was the usual and the most effective offer for the spirit, the resurrection. He assumed Vandir was the same as the other spirits.
"That's indeed a tempting offer," Vandir nodded, his finger bone still on his chin as he observed Tang Shaoyang again. The hood shook, "I am afraid you don't have enough Spirit Energy to use your Spirit Resurrection on me. It's so little that I am afraid it will take you much longer to use Spirit Resurrection on me."
"That will defeat the purpose of establishing a contract with you if I have to resurrect you right after I make the contract with you," Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow. Even if he had enough Spirit Energy, he would not prioritize Vandir even if he was Archaic Spirit. There were other spirits standing in the line ahead of him, and in fact, Vandir would be the last spirit to be resurrected.
"Hmmm.... How about this, I will make a contract with you, and the contract will go on as long as you are alive. However, in exchange, your body will be mine after you die, either you die because your time has come or get killed by your enemy. Of course, it also includes the resurrection promise, and you can borrow my power as long as you are alive," For the first time, Vandir showed a little bit of emotion. There was a vague excitement in his voice when he mentioned Tang Shaoyang's body.
Tang Shaoyang smiled instead of getting angry that Vandir wanted his body, "Since you added a clause, then I have to add a clause as well. You have to join The Tang Empire even after you get resurrected, live, and fight for the The Tang Empire. You have to take an oath for that. If you go back on your words, you will lose the right to my dead body as well. That's not a hard thing to do, right?"
"Tang Empire? Are you a Royal Knight for an empire?" Vandir sounded surprised that the Tang Empire was suddenly involved in the topic.
"No, I am the Emperor," Tang Shaoyang did not hide it from Vandir, "Please make your decision quickly, Vandir. We can chat about the empire later. Doesn't the fact that I am an Emperor of an empire make the offer better for you? I can die anytime."
"That's true, but I don't like how confident you sound. It feels like you will not die anytime soon. But it doesn't really matter if you die quickly or live longer. Your offer is really tempting, but I don't like being tied with an empire," Vandir hesitated with the empire being involved.
"We can add one more clause for you that I will fulfill one of your clauses in less than one month. That should make the offer tempting enough for you to refuse, right?"
"Huh!?" Vandir was surprised by the additional temptation. With how much Tang Shaoyang's Spirit Energy was. It was impossible for him to be resurrected in less than one month. That meant Tang Shaoyang talked about the first clause, the body, which puzzled Vandir even more. In order for him to get the body, Tang Shaoyang had to die, "Are you trying to deceive me?" His voice became much colder and more callous. The atmosphere around them suddenly changed as the black sand started to release dark smoke.
"There's no reason for me to share my secret with you unless you are on my boat. I will not tell you anything about how I am going to give you my body, not until you establish a contract with me. Make your decision, Vandir!" Tang Shaoyang was not scared in the slightest even though this was Vandir's domain. If Vandir refused the contract, then he had no choice but to fight Vandir. If he could not make a contract with Archaic Spirit, then he would kill him. He must get something from this one chance, his second Archaic Summoning.
