Shiro: The Secret Hero
185. Slave Contract

The demon instantly vanished with just a single blow of Shiro Gigantification mode.

"Ehhh..." Shiro was surprised by his own strength.

Not only Shiro, the other Murlocs who watched Shiro kill the Devil with a single blow, were no less astonished.

Especially when looking at Shiro's human appearance. Only by himself, he could kill Devils that the Four strongest people of their Race could not kill. Even Shiro defeated him in one hit.

Shiro rubbed his eyes, making sure the Devil was completely gone. Then he glanced at his fists, was his strength that was indeed this strong? Or is the devil really that weak?

Shiro did not know, maybe the first, could also be the second. Even a combination of the two can happen.

He then canceled the Gigantification skill, his hand then felt a little tingling. Maybe this is a side effect after using the Gigantification skill.

Shiro looked at his clenched hand for a long time. Then he came to a realization as the four powerful Murlocs slowly approached him.

Shiro immediately put on a look of caution in the face of Murloc's fourth arrival. He was prepared to accept an attack that might be inflicted on him.

The four Murlocs saw that the defensive stance Shiro had put out immediately stopped on the spot. They know what the Human (Shiro) is worried about.

The King took a few steps forward and placed his right hand on his left chest. He then lowered his head slightly towards Shiro. "Thank you humans for your help. We know what it means to come here!"

Shiro could see Murloc Crocodile who was like paying his respects to him. And when those words from Murloc came out, Shiro frowned, he did not relax his vigilance.

"What do they know? Did they foresee my arrival? or did they know I killed Murloc Orca before?" many questions came to Shiro's mind.

Shiro looked at the four Murlocs and said: "So, what do you want to do?"

The ambiguous sentence the King uttered, Shiro replied with an ambiguous question as well.

"Calm down, we're not hostile to you. In fact, we are very grateful for killing the Devil. It is very detrimental to our nation. He kidnapped our newborn babies, and a few hours ago, he killed one of our Murloc Guards just like that!" clearly The King.

"True, he killed my sister!" connect Captain Orcain.

Hearing the sentence from the two, Shiro was a bit confused. Could there be a misunderstanding here?

Looking at the figure of Captain Orcain, perhaps Shiro knew the Murloc Guard he was referring to, was none other than the Murloc Orca he had killed before. Due to a coincidence, the behavior of the Devil was revealed along with the murder incident that Shiro committed.

But Shiro did not bother to explain. Everything that happens, let it happen. This misunderstanding seems pretty good too.

"Then, what do you want?" asked Shiro who was still on guard.

The King looked to the left and to the right then said: "We'll talk more about it in the Palace!"

Hearing the King's words, Shiro nodded. He followed the King and three other Murlocs to the Murloc court.

During the journey, Shiro still did not relax his vigilance. During his journey, nothing happened, everything seemed normal, without the slightest whiff of conspiracy. Finally he arrived and entered the Murloc Palace.

There were also quite a number of dishes served, but Shiro had no intention of eating them at this time. Not afraid of poison, but not much time. If it's a poison problem, he has Antidote that can detect and neutralize the poison that enters his body, so he doesn't have to worry about poisoning.

"Ehem... Since you already know my purpose, so let's just talk about it right here. My time is not much!"

Shiro immediately opened the topic, making the four Murlocs who were about to eat a meal, undo their intentions.

They looked at each other, then nodded, The King immediately declared his intention.

"OK, here. We have long sought the existence of you Humans. Especially the indigenous people who live in this world. We'd like to make an offer to you!"

The King's words initially made Shiro speechless. An offer? what offer does he mean? But soon afterwards, Shiro came to his senses. He knew what the Murloc wanted to offer.

"You want the salvation of your tribe at the price of your life?" ask Shiro directly.

Shiro guessed it after recalling the incident inside the Gate Lizardman. They might also be the same, after knowing his strength, they might only be able to give up and offer special Requirements so that he would not act arbitrarily to the Murloc Nation.

"No, it's not like that!"

The answer from the King surprised Shiro. Then he asked: "So what deal do you want to offer me?"

"We knew we were inside a Dimensional Gate. And to overcome this, either we conquer you, or you kill me. Of course after seeing Master's strength, the first choice was impossible. In addition, we Murlocs have a relationship with Humans." explained the King.

Listening to the King's words, Shiro frowned, puzzled: "So, what do you mean?"

"Actually in addition to those two ways, there is one more way that can overcome this contradiction."

Hearing those words, Shiro became interested: "What is that?"

The King took a heavy breath before replying: "Master-Servant Contract or it could also be referred to as Slave Contract!"

Listening to the solution the King said, Shiro was shocked. The Slave Contract is nothing new to Shiro. He often heard it in fantasy stories.

He knew the function of the Slave Contract was based on these fantasy stories. This Slave Contract was used to establish a Contract between the Master and the Slave so that the Slave would not be able to betray its Master and would continue to carry out what his master ordered.

Moreover, the Slave Contract was nothing new. In this world there is also a so-called Slave Contract. But the concept is somewhat different from that in fantasy stories.

Slave Contracts in this world are similar to forced labor contracts. The slave would perform the duties of his master only in exchange for food or a penny, not even at all just for the sake of paying the family debt.

Shiro did not know what kind of Slave Contract was in question. Is it the first? Or the second one? Although Shiro was more optimistic to the first. But it did not demand the possibility of any discrepancy between the Slave Contract that King Murloc meant and the Slave Contract that he knew from the fantasy story.

Moreover, what does the Slave Contract have to do with the Gate settlement? Shiro did not understand at all.

"Wait, I don't understand! Can you explain it to me slowly?" shiro said confusedly to the four Murlocs.

They nodded and began to tell Shiro everything they knew about the Slave Contract.
