Spy network (2)

once the poisoned meat was in its stomach, the lion quickly died

Scarlett arrived just after the lion's death, Alexander let her approach and observe the carnivore, after a few minutes when she was sure that the lion was dead, Alexander said:

'' do you know scarlett why am I not afraid of a level 8? because I can join any level 9 faction"

scarlett doubtfully looked at him

alexander: "ah you don't believe me, well I'll prove it to you"

''resuscitation''

suddenly under scarlett's amazed eyes the lion came back to life, he then turned to alexander and said

''master.''

alexander let scarlett observe the lion's corpse so that she would be sure that it was dead and be 100% sure that alexander was indeed a necromancer

scarlett was in shock, she never thought that alexander was a necromancer and after coming to her senses she took out her sword and got into a fighting position

she had seen how alexander had hunted the lion and knew that he was meticulous, why did he show her so much ? Was he going to do anything bad to her? Her talent was rare and maybe he wanted to steal it ? 

Alexander looked at her with a smile, he told her that even if she had 0 chances of escaping, she would still choose to try and that's what he respected about her.

he told her that now that she knew his secret, it was impossible for him to let her go, that she had to make a choice, to leave this forest as an assassin or not to leave at all.

scarlett had made a mistake, she had underestimated this young Blondie, she had no one to support her, her family had disappeared, the members of her clan who were alive hid, she was alone, pursuing her quest for revenge and this little bastard took advantage of it

she didn't think he would try to kill her, she let her guard down 

she agreed to surrender because being alive represented hope, she was also going to kill the mage in front of her when she had the chance

Alexander as if reading her thoughts presented her with an order of obedience

Scarlett's eyes widened '' of course an orb of obedience, just kill me '' she thought.

once the orb was absorbed, alexander swore on his honor that he would do everything to avenge scarlett's family, he provided her with different elemental stones and waited for her to reach level 6 in the forest

for the outside world scarlett disappeared in ugul (no one knew that scarlett had met alexander because the two met discreetly)

after a few hours, scarlett advanced to level 6, she was still dissatisfied with her situation and Alexander knew this well

he told her that all this was only temporary, that their alliance would end the day she avenged her family and he swore on his honor

he told her that when they returned to ugul, he would personally ask that oumros association to create a contract in which this would be stipulated

the bitterness that scarlett felt was reduced, the oumros contracts were created with runes and even level 9 mages could not escape their obligations without paying a hefty the price

so he only wanted her to work for him and would let her go once her revenge was over? It was too good to be true

he also assured her that it would not take more than 10,000 years

now at level 6 and having an infinite life expectancy, 10,000 years did not represent a lot of time in Scarlett's eyes, but she didn't know why, she could no longer believe this blond guy in front of her

she then asked him : "and why would you do that? ''

alexander: '' scarlett, what I value the most about you is your talent and I especially don't want to be your enemy but to work with you

I had to expose several of my secrets and without this orb of obedience, I wouldn't sleep peacefully

what I need is an ally, you have the potential to reach level 8 and that is what interests me the most

I plan to stand at the summit of Oberon and it is impossible to reach this summit without several alliances, that is why I am ready to put in so much effort

revenge may be a mountain for you but for me, it only represents a step in my conquest of this world

in my opinion you are a little too obsessed with this revenge, we are mages, the representation of logic and we must always seek our interest in what we do, if you were a level 8 mage, you could take revenge without any outside help, instead you spend your days trying to look for others 

nothing can beat true power and that's what you should search

in any case, in less than 10,000 years you will have your freedom back and at that moment, you will have to choose if you want to work with me or take another path 

This discussion was like an electric shock for Scarlett, she had forgotten how obsessed she was with power

previously, she had sacrificed so much to be able to increase her power but she had lost herself in her feelings, in her desire for revenge

Scarlett thought that if Alexander really succeeded in avenging her family, she would surely stay with this type of man but the chances were slim, she would first wait for him to sign the contract

once in ugul, alexander as promised signed the contract, scarlett couldn't believe it, he had really done it, in her mind, alexander went from a manipulative liar to a crazy mage

the contract therefore stipulated that he would help her take revenge and that he would then give her back his freedom and that he would do all this before 10,000 years

he was only level 6, how was he going to avenge her before 10,000 years ? 10,000 years represented only a nap for certain mages

maybe he had a powerful mage behind him? Alexander suddenly became more mysterious

Alexander then entrusted her with a mission, she had to continue the expansion of his spy network and above all to train the spies that he had already trained into real assassins (Alexander had tried to train assassins and he obtained some results, he understood that he did not have the necessary knowledge to train excellent assassins)

after a quick glance at alexander's training system (a lot of physical exercise, weapons handling, a lot of resources were also used to train the assassins) Scarlett managed to deduce the flaws 

for example, he needed to create regional branches because if he intended to infiltrate a certain clan, he had to have the accent that corresponded to the region

he wasted to many resources and needed to focus on the best assassins only ( because a single competent assassin can destroy a clan but a single mistake can destroy the assassin and his clan )

ensure that no one knows that Alexander was the brain of the operations (he had to manage the organization through messages or use and intermediate who himself would not know that it is Alexander who is the brain of the operations)

and so on
