My Farm System: Reaching The Top In The Parallel Earth!

Chapter 288 288: Vow

?

Once again, fortune aura showed its usefulness to Rezen. He knew that it was the reason why Rezen got this potion. It influences the black snake to hit the table with its tail causing the reveal of the door

If not for the fortune fruit then Rezen would be no different than the black snake. He might use this room for months or even years without ever discovering the secret room

When Rezen finished reading, the letter on the scrolls turned into flames that burned it into ashes

He stored the box and potion on his farm intending to use it when he returned to the dormitory

After looting the room, Rezen went out and the door broke down once again turning into the old wooden table of before. It seems like the other secret room would not vanish even after he obtained the treasure

When Rezen returned to the first room he saw the snake waiting patiently for him. He doesn't know why but he felt like the snake was smiling at him as it was trying to gain some good points

"Now then what should I do with this snake?" Rezen asked himself

He intended to take this secret room for himself. Naturally, the snake could not continue staying here. However, since it did help Rezen discover a great treasure he decided to be benevolent and let it go

"Go and never come back here again. If I see you here again I'll kill you" Rezen said coldly and the snake almost cried

"H-human! D-don't kick me out! Do you know how dangerous the desert is? And even if I try to migrate to a safer place I can't! There are many humans outside the desert and all of them want to kill me! I can only find safety while hiding here! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

The snake dramatically banged its head into the ground. It looks like a kid throwing a tantrum causing Rezen to roll his eyes

"What do you want me to do then? I can't let you stay here since I don't trust you. If you don't go now I won't show mercy again and just kill you directly" Rezen heartlessly said

He could be kindhearted and show kindness but that is only if it would not negatively affect his own interest if not then he would turn as cruel as the most devilish demon

"T-trust? T-then l-let's vow in the name of darkness! With the vow, I can't harm you and you also can't harm me. W-won't you trust me if you know that I can't hurt you?" The snake suggested and Rezen knitted his brows

"A vow? What's that?" He asked

eaglesnov?1,?o? Rezen knows that there are spells that could enslave magic beasts. Unfortunately, he hasn't learned those spells and he cannot use them to this snake

"It's an ability of mine and I could only use it once! With the bond, we will form a special connection and neither of us couldn't harm the other!" The snake explained and Rezen knitted his brows

"I don't like the sound of that. What if I want to kill you or maybe use you as bait to save my life?" Rezen muttered while rubbing his chin

If possible he wants to gain a slave rather than an equal partnership with this snake

"H-human you are evil! I'm planning to devote myself to you but you actually have such evil thoughts!" The snake was in disbelief at Rezen's words but in the end, the latter still agreed on the premise that the snake must obey him as long as the order was not something that would kill it

In fear that Rezen would change his mind, the snake immediately used its ability as a black magic circle formed below it

The black magic circle covered the area where the snake is and also the ground that Rezen was standing on

Soon, the entire room suddenly started to be covered with dark fog that brought a chill down to one's spine

The darkness could affect one's senses and Rezen felt like he was plunged into a dark cold sea. His body cannot help but shudder as a result of this bone-chilling darkness

He even thought that the snake actually fooled him and he was about to try to control his mana to attack when he heard the snake speak

"In the name of the Great Darkness, I vow to serve this human as my Master. I cannot harm my Master in any way and I must always obey his orders as long as his orders would not cause my death. I cannot betray my Master or else the Darkness will come and take my soul"

The snake made its vow and all Rezen has to do was agree with the vow's contents and after that the darkness in the room condensed

Rezen looked down at his stomach where some sort of black line could be seen. This line not only reaches his physical body but also his soul

It was a connection between him and the black snake. Rezen can instinctively feel that if the snake were to betray him this connection would cause it to die

After the vow was completed the magic circle dissipated and only then did the snake relax. At the very least its life is now safe

"Master, it's done. You can go and return to your home, I, your faithful servant will guard this secret room in your place"

In other words, the snake wants Rezen to vanish and continue staying in this room peacefully. But now that Rezen gained a 3rd cycle magic beast as a servant why would he let this snake continue staying here?

"There's no need to do that. Since not just anyone can discover and enter this room there's no need to guard it. You will come with me" Rezen said with an evil grin and the snake hurriedly shook its head

"I-I would just be a burden to Master. I-it is better if I stay here!"

"No, no, no, you need to come with me. Hurry, I heard that mages could register their beast subordinates to the staff of the resource points. We need to register you and then you could start working for me"

It was not uncommon for foragers to enter a resource point alone just to come out with magic beasts that they enslaved

Since there are magic beasts that are intelligent and powerful enough to bring great chaos to the City of Hope, the subordinated magic beasts should be registered and inspected to avoid any mishaps

If the magic beast was not registered then that magic beast could not enter the city or exit the resource points. The human might even be suspected to be under the magic beast's control

With Rezen making the decision, the two searched for more resources in the desert and when the time was up only then did they exited

——

Dormitory

"M-master, humans greatly dislike us magic beasts. I think it's better if you return me to the desert" the snake that is named Belazark riding on Rezen's shoulder said to him

It still wanted to continue living peacefully inside the secret room and it didn't give up trying to convince its new master

"Shut up now or I'll turn you into a roasted snake" Rezen said irritably. This snake just doesn't want to stop pestering him

"Evil!" The snake complained and in annoyance, Rezen fired a magic missile at its forehead

Rezen didn't even bother resting after returning to the dormitory building. Instead, he went to the room he usually use to practice alchemy and he sat down

"Belazark, get out of my shoulder and guard me and I really mean to guard me. If you let anyone hurt me without doing anything that would be considered as betrayal and you know what will happen if you betray me, right?"

Rezen grabbed the snake and threw it out of his shoulder and like a kid, the snake threw a tantrum once more

The snake continuously hit its head on the floor while complaining. "Ahh!! I knew that this would happen! Why do I have to do something dangerous? I just want to live peacefully!"

Rezen decided to ignore the snake's tantrum as his spirit entered his farm. The first thing he did was inspect the shelves at the side of his farm that stored various seeds

Most are seeds of Spirit Plants but there were also a few fruits or vegetables in times that Rezen wanted to eat something good. Not to mention, the things he grows on his farm have far less impurities compared to normal food he could get anywhere else

His cycle is still too low and he can ignore the impurities that his body accumulates after breaking through to the Junior Rank but if he wants to reach the middle cycles he once again has to cleanse his impurities
