Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The First Contractor, The Returning Loki Family

It was the first time Kevin used the [Contract] ability, and he didn't know what would happen.

It's a good opportunity to test it out with the dwarf girl in front of me.

While exerting his ability, a golden light shone in Kevin's eyes.

As if frightened, Lily, who had just shown fear on her face, gradually became confused.

[One of the following conditions must be met to conclude a contract]

[①: Target voluntarily concludes a contract]

[②: The target is in a dying state]

A few lines of hints appeared in front of Kevin, and he suddenly understood.

"I see."

"The contract has not been completed yet, which means Lily still has some resistance in her heart."

Kevin snorted coldly and pressed his weapon against Lily's neck.

"If you continue to resist, I will throw you into the pile of goblins below."

Thinking of the fate of being bitten and torn to pieces by the monster, Lily shuddered and had to accept Kevin's contract.

At the moment the contract was completed, a large amount of information flooded into the minds of both people at the same time.

[You have successfully completed a contract]

[You can now view the status of contractors and manage them]

[The contractor will absolutely obey you and will never betray you]

After digesting the new information, Kevin nodded with satisfaction.

He was originally a little worried that Lily would tell others what happened today.

I didn't expect that the contract comes with the effects of "absolute obedience" and "never betrayal."

Doesn't this mean that as long as the contract is successfully concluded, you can do whatever you want to the contractor?

Thinking of this, Kevin couldn't help but look at Lily's petite body.

Then he realized that the wound caused by the shuriken was still bleeding.

"Forget it, we are one now anyway, just use this."

Kevin took out a bottle of light red potion from the inventory without thinking.

Like the Cloud in a Bottle, this is also an item that comes from a treasure chest!

[Weak Healing Potion (white): Instantly restores 50 HP and grants "Drug Resistance" status, which lasts for 60 seconds]

This is the lowest level healing potion in Terraria.

Kevin was not sure about the effect of the healing potion in the wrong world.

However, this potion can instantly heal about half of the health in the early stage.

The effect should be similar when used on low-level adventurers.

And it recovers instantly, no waiting required.

Kevin opened 4 bottles of weak healing potions from the treasure chest and didn't feel bad about using them.

Because this thing, like a torch, is a cheap consumable that can be purchased.

However, even if you have enough healing potions, you cannot use them infinitely.

While the "Drug Resistance" status persists, health potions will not take effect.

This time can be reduced by the effects of some accessories, but that is another matter.

"T-This is... a potion?"

Lily took the bottle of red liquid from Kevin with some disbelief.

"Can I really use something this precious?"

Just like the fine equipment made by Hephaestus's Familia.

Magic potions such as "magic potions" and "elixirs" with special effects.

It is also a very popular and in-demand item in the Adventurer Market of Babel Tower.

A bottle of magic potion that can quickly restore physical strength and replenish status, and sometimes even reverse the situation of the battle and save the adventurer's life!

Because they are consumables, the price of potions is not as expensive as equipment.

But it is not a luxury that every adventurer can afford.

Lily looked at the life potion in her hand with a complicated expression.

"If I let you use it, just use it with confidence. There's no need to question my words."

Kevin squatted down and pinched the soft cheeks of the little human girl.

"Heal your injuries quickly and don't waste time."

"I, I understand!"

Lily nodded vigorously and mustered up the courage to drink the potion in her hand.

In a few moments, the wound on his leg healed at an astonishing speed.

The pain disappeared almost in the blink of an eye, and even Lily herself didn't react.

"I'm afraid the effect of this potion is better than the elixir produced by the Mihe clan, right?"

"Yeah."

Hearing this, Kevin asked curiously.

"Have you tried any other potions?"

"No..." Lily waved her hands quickly, "I've only heard about the potion."

How could a low-level supporter like her afford potions?

In the following time, Kevin patiently used shuriken to clear out the group of goblins.

Lily also worked very hard to clean up the battlefield - after all, these enemies were deliberately attracted by her.

"That's all for today's exploration. It's time to go back."

After killing all the monsters, Kevin wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at the system interface.

In another half an hour, the death penalty will disappear and you can explore Terraria again.

"Okay, then..."

After putting the last piece of magic stone fragment into her backpack, Lily seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What plans does the captain have after we leave the dungeon?"

"First, don't call me 'Master'."

Kevin glanced at her and corrected her.

Although this name is correct, it is too conspicuous in the world of Earth.

A Soma Familia referring to a member of the Hestia Familia as "Master".

If this gets out, there might be a "war" between the clans!

"Just like before, just call me Captain."

"Also... do you have a place to stay in Orario?"

Lily lowered her head and answered sheepishly.

"No, I used to be able to pay for cheap hotels, but I'm really broke lately, so..."

That's why he attacked Kevin, but was counterattacked by the latter and signed the contract.

"That's perfect. You can live with me from now on, even though there's only a storage room available right now."

"Once we move to a bigger house, I'll consider allocating you a separate room."

"Besides... huh?"

Kevin suddenly frowned, as if he realized something.

From the depths of the maze, near the entrance to the second floor, came the sound of rhythmic footsteps.

Then, a team of high-level adventurers, all exuding a powerful aura, appeared in their sight.

Seeing the appearance of several of the adventurers, Lily suddenly became nervous and whispered a reminder.

"Captain, they are..."

"I know, these people are 'Loki's Familia'."

Kevin reached out and touched Lily's head, his eyes meeting the many gazes directed at him.

The blond dwarf adventurer walking in front is Finn, the leader of the "Loki Family".

The elven magician who followed closely behind was the city's strongest magician, deputy leader Livilia, also known as the "Nine Magic Princesses".

Next is "Zhongjie", the dwarf Grace, the Amazon sisters, the fierce wolf Bert, and...

Just as this group of adventurers, who seemed to have just returned from an expedition to the dungeon, were about to pass by Kevin.

The latter suddenly raised his voice and spoke loudly.

"Ms. Ais Wallenstein, are you interested in visiting the Molten Fire Festival in two days?"
