After about an hour or so, Gnas suddenly realized something.
"Boss! I think we still being followed."
"Really?"
"I thinks its the same guy as before but he seems to alone this time"
I look at Viredeo and he seemed annoyed.
"Fine, stop the carriage" he sighed and jumped off. As we all stood behind him waiting for the warlock to show up but he just kept hiding.
"Show up you cunt." shouted Gnas. "I can spell your scent from miles away come out before its too late."
"Fine fine I am coming out but just hear me out." He comes out of his invisibility magic and continues.
"I can't go back young... Prince. Your father will just kill me knowing that I have failed. So if you will have me, I want to join your crew"
"No way. uh-uh" Gnas shakes his head "After what just happened, how can we trust you enough to have you around us?"
That's true we can't have him in crew and knowing father what he's saying is also true. I feel for him and I need as many subordinates as I can get but he needs to win our trust first?
"What's your name warlock?"
"I am called Japhet Jordan."
"Japhet, do you have any pact already with father or anybody else?"
"No, I just work as a magician soldier." he lightens up expecting acceptance and continues "Though I don't have any dark pact, I am still a warlock of Infernal Pact and can summon couple of fiends, familiars and goblins as of now."
"Great! I can offer you a dark pact with me. One that I will be in control. Do you agree?" A dark pact like this will bind him to me allowing me to use his powers and in return it will allow him to harness my powers but only with my permissions.
"Yes, I accept, my... lord!"
Suddenly I feel a connection as if I grew a new pair of limbs, eyes and ears. A surge of energy flowing through me. I quickly check my inventory.
[ Magic: 350 + 350 = 700/700 ]
[ Summoning Level: 3 + 3 = 6 ]
[ Souls claimed: 0 + 1 = 1 ]
Wow, dark pact counts to soul claimed. All my powers have doubled.
"I can see you are good at travelling fast and mostly undetected. I have a side mission for you as a chance to earn our trust. What do you think?"
"Yes, I want prove my allegiance to you. What can I do for you?"
"Ya, you are going to head east of Doherndere, survey the land there. Look for human civilizations, resources and dungeons around there as much as you can.. The more detailed survey, the better it is for us because we are going to build our dungeon there based on the info you collect."
"Understood. I will do my best"
