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.

"You are right, but I can sense an urgency within your tone of voice. You need my help as soon as possible, and I will agree to make a contract with you if you can resurrect me within a week? No, I will be understanding and kind. After you solve your crisis you can resurrect me, but again, that\'s not possible with the amount of your Spirit Energy. That\'s the only condition for me to agree if you are offering me a resurrection." Vandir declined the offer, and his voice remained emotionless.

With his face covered in a hood, it was hard for Tang Shaoyang to sense the skeleton\'s emotion. He could not tell if his offer was satisfactory but he just needed to put more benefits into it, or the skeleton did not really like the offer, at all. The Dragon Sense did not help him as well in this situation. The skeleton was completely shrouded, revealing nothing to Tang Shaoyang, no opening.

"Don\'t be disappointed, Tang. You are not the first to arrive here and not the first to be declined. You are the fifth to meet me in my realm, and I have declined the four previous offers as well, though, your offer was quite more tempting than the previous people, but that\'s still not enough. I am willing to wait for another century if that\'s the time I need to get a satisfactory offer," Vandir tried to comfort Tang Shaoyang? It was hard to tell with his toneless voice as it could be sarcastic as well.

"I also can\'t agree if you are asking me to be resurrected quickly after you make a contract with me. The contract\'s time should be at least ten years, that\'s the maximum that I am willing to offer you," Tang Shaoyang shook his head, revealing his disagreement about the early resurrection.

"That\'s made your offer less tempting than I thought, and I also can\'t agree with you," Vandir shook his head, "So what are you going to do, Tang? You don\'t have much time to discuss the contract either. Your arrival makes me excited for a moment since it\'s been a while since the last visitor came. However, I will not hold you back if you want to go back right now."

"I am not going to go back empty-handed. Tell me what do you want for at least ten years of contract?" It was a pity that he could not keep the skeleton after being resurrected with how things were going. However, ten years might be enough time for him to hunt for all the God Ranks in the God Realm.

"I am not sure if you can give me what I want…." Vandir paused, he scanned Tang Shaoyang once more.

Tang Shaoyang felt the foreign enemy and an uncomfortable gaze over him, but he let the skeleton do it. He wanted to make the contract as fast as possible, so he did not mind Vandir pried further on him.

"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.
