Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

It could even be said that Cao Le's strength alone is no match for Apas.

This little girl's strength must be at least at the level of a mid-level monarch!

It's even possible that he's approaching the strength of a Grand Monarch. In that case, Cao Le might not be a match for him. Of course, with the help of the Shadow King, Apas might not be a match for him.

"Little snake woman, I advise you to stop thinking about those things. Unless I want to let you go, you'll have no choice but to become my contracted beast. Besides, after the contract is formed, I will know your thoughts clearly. If you can't be my fighting partner, then being my seduce partner isn't out of the question."

He had no intention of indulging Apas.

Otherwise, wouldn't my summoning skills become just decorations?

After hearing what Cao Le said, Apas wanted nothing more than to bite him to death...

However, Apas herself knew that, not to mention that she didn't have the strength now, even if she did, she would have absolutely no defense against the contract mark.

"I can help you fight, but what's in it for me?" Apas knew that if she didn't agree, her future would only be more difficult.

"Isn't this your duty? Besides, you're strong enough now, there's no need to waste any more resources," Cao Le replied with a smile.

The main reason he hasn't made a contract is that he doesn't want to waste resources on contracted beasts, right?

While those you train yourself may be more perfect, perfection doesn't equate to strength, does it?

Among mortals with high bloodlines, there are very few in this world besides the elemental beings of heaven and earth who can compare to Medusa's bloodline. Even the sub-dragons are far inferior to the orthodox Medusa.

So, under these circumstances, she still wants benefits?

Are you kidding me...?

Upon hearing this, Apas immediately understood that this dead man wanted to freeload off her!

She wasn't lacking in resources; she had connections with humans and even her own personal savings. However, the fact that she was being asked to help in battle for free without any benefit in return greatly displeased Apas.

"Do you have any objections?" Cao Le raised his arm, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Apas gritted her teeth, suppressing the urge to die with him, and finally said, "I will help you at most once a week. I will not help unless it is a matter of life and death."

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Also, bring me some of your tears," Cao Le added.

"My tears??" Apas looked at Cao Le with some curiosity.

“That’s right, it’s your tears. My friends are cursed by your snake clan, and now they need your tears to break the spell.”

After hearing Cao Le's words, Apas curled her lip: "Why would I need to shed tears for that kind of curse? I can easily remove it for them."

"That's not the point. The point is, there's a bounty pool outside. As long as I get some of your tears, I can reap a huge amount of resources."

He didn't mean to hide anything; the little girl was already his private property.

What else could she possibly want to fool?

Are you afraid she'll dare to rebel?

"You bastard..."

However, as soon as Cao Le finished speaking, Apas became furious.

Are you kidding me?

Cao Le actually said she would use her noble Medusa Tears to exchange for some human money?

"What's wrong?" Cao Le asked, puzzled as to why Apas was suddenly so angry.

"I will not give my tears to those inferior humans, nor will I let you use them to exchange for any resources."

Although Cao Le could be a bit assertive, if he acted like this over such a small matter, who knows what kind of revenge he might take if he angered this little tsundere one day?

So he could only soften his tone slightly and say, "Let's discuss it!"

"No discussion!"

Apas refused in a very defiant tone.

"Well then, I think there should be another Medusa around here, right?" Cao Le suddenly thought of something and then said.

If he remembered correctly, there was indeed a Medusa here.

Since there are other Medusas, why can't I use this Medusa to exchange for some money?

"no..."

Apas still refused, but this time the refusal wasn't as strong, and there seemed to be room for negotiation.

"Just state your conditions."

Upon hearing Cao Le's words, Apas's eyes lit up. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I want half of the income you earn."

Upon hearing Apas's words, Cao Le was completely dumbfounded...

Just now, Apas looked down on people of lower bloodlines?

Just now, Apas looked so disdainful?

At this moment, he has revealed the true colors of a cunning businessman!

Asking for half of your income?

“What? I’m going to live with you in the human world from now on, but you don’t want to provide me with the resources I need. Can’t I make some preparations myself?” Apas said to Cao Le with a reasonable and logical argument.

...

404. Safe Evacuation

Cao Le eventually agreed.

However, everyone split it equally.

Actually, Cao Le had some ulterior motives behind this. It was clearly impossible not to promote Apas. He was just saying it casually...

After agreeing to Apas's request, Apas summoned her maid Medusa, made her shed tears, and also forced Cao Le to drink a bottle.

The tears of the maid Medusa do not actually have as many effects as described. The effects that Mo Fan saw before were only effective because it was the genuine Medusa, or rather, the next generation of the genuine Medusa.

Medusa, the maidservant beside Apas, is clearly not from the modern era.

If it were truly a modern era, it wouldn't have become Apas's handmaid.

It's important to understand that the situation for Apas within the Medusa clan is currently dire...

Because she was born late, she received no support whatsoever, especially now that Medusa's mother is nearing her end, and she needs to continue growing rapidly. Otherwise, she would definitely be the first person her two older sisters would have to deal with.

After obtaining the tears, Apas had her maid Medusa summon all the nearby snake guards to this place. With no obstacles in sight, Cao Le took Apas into his contract space and then left.

When he returned, people from European universities gathered around him.

"These silver snakes have suddenly all come out for some reason. Could it be that they've discovered us?" Vani asked.

Faced with so many silver snakes and the presence of Medusa, even though he was a high-level mage, he was extremely flustered.

If they get surrounded, the outcome will definitely be tragic...

Even if he doesn't die, what about his students?

If he couldn't safely bring these students back, his life would truly be over. This was definitely not the outcome Vani wanted...

“I’ve already obtained the Tears of Medusa,” Cao Le said, gesturing for the others to reach out.

Seeing this, Mo Fan and the others reached out without saying a word.

Cao Le dripped a drop of liquid onto each of them.

After receiving Cao Le's tears, they immediately experienced a strange feeling.

They didn't actually feel anything particularly special, but at least the hallucination seemed to vanish in an instant...

In short, the group was saved.

After being rescued, Wani and the others looked at Cao Le and began to express their gratitude repeatedly.

Cao Le simply waved his hand, and then they left. Because the silver snake was no longer there to obstruct them, they left safely...

...

Before long, they left Sunset Slope, and it was about 40 kilometers away from safely returning to Cairo.

Once you reach the outskirts of Cairo, you'll encounter the Scorpion Demon race. The Scorpion Demons have extremely strong senses, and since most of the outskirts of Cairo are sand and mud, high-level Scorpion Demons can definitely hear the sound of people's footsteps clearly. Therefore, this section of the journey must be traveled by camel-drawn beasts.

On the way to Sunset Long Slope, everyone prepared camels to wait there. Chad was indeed an expert in this regard. He arranged the camels at the bottom of a sand dune pit and sprinkled some white salt on them. The scorpion demons would not be interested in the camels there. When everyone arrived at the location, the camels were still there waiting.

In the wild, it is not easy to keep a group of riding beasts settled like this for several days.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Once we reach the Changgou defense line, we'll be safe," Benz said, somewhat excitedly and nervously.

The group boarded the camel, but the camel's speed was not as fast as expected. Of course, the magician could not use all his magic power to travel, otherwise he would get into trouble.

"Cao Le, tell me, how did you obtain the Tears of Medusa?" Mo Fan asked curiously.

What puzzled him most was that it seemed he already knew when he came out that there were no more Silver Serpent Guards outside.

"Brother has tamed a genuine Medusa," Cao Le said with a smile as he turned around.

He had no intention of deceiving these people. And there was absolutely no need for it.

After all, they've always been together, and even if he doesn't say anything now, they'll find out eventually. So, Cao Le has no reason to hide anything.

It's completely unnecessary...

"Pshaw, how could that be? Every summoner in the world would want to capture a Medusa as a contracted beast. Let alone a rare creature like a Medusa with high intelligence and high racial lineage, very few can even capture a giant female snake and successfully form a contract. Don't even dream about it. Let me tell you, don't even think about it. Even if you kill a Medusa, it won't accept a contract. In their eyes, we are the inferior species. For example, would you be willing to be a pet dog?"

Before Mo Fan could say anything, Zhao Manyan interjected, "I bet you'd rather die than accept that, right? That's right, there's no way anyone would believe that. Even for Mo Fan, getting a Flame Maiden is a stroke of luck, especially since he raised her from a kitten. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to dream of it..."

Mo Fan listened and nodded, finding it quite reasonable.

"You'll find out when we get back. As for the Tears of Medusa, they were originally going to be split equally among the five of us, but now there are six of us."

Upon hearing Cao Le's words, not only were Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan puzzled, but even Mu Bai asked with curiosity, "Who else?"

"You'll find out when you get back," Cao Le said without a word.

Heidi looked at the group with curiosity, then asked Cao Le, "What are you talking about? I don't understand a word of it."

"The bounty for Medusa's Tears should be over 3.7 to 3.8 billion by now. We'll split it equally when we get back, 600 million each."

Cao Le didn't deliberately lower his voice; he had been like that the whole way.

Nothing else...
