Teacher, Do We Really Have to Summon a Demon?

Having seen so many fair-skinned girls, it's nice to occasionally see a girl with an unusually fair complexion.

His bluish-purple skin tone wasn't bad in the Dragon Eye; he was kind of handsome.

The dragon's vertical pupils can detect the beauty of the opposite sex from all races. Who would have thought that the little girl who disguised herself as a boy would choose to become a lich.

It's normal for someone with a lich's body to have an eerie skin color.

Lance raised his hand and ruffled Princess Elsa's hair. He had never disliked this little girl, not even more than two thousand years ago.

It's still not annoying more than two thousand years later.

"If one day you no longer want to be a lich and wish to reincarnate, just tell me and I'll help you find liberation."

Princess Elsa probably has no obsession with immortality. Now that she has met him, the crisis facing her brother Andre is about to be resolved by him.

The grudges and passions from over two thousand years ago will surely come to an end today. If Princess Elsa, who has finally let go of her obsessions, wishes to be reincarnated, he can help her find liberation.

Death God Solomon, probably wouldn't mind doing him such a favor.

"I've become a lich, rejected by hell and despised by heaven. Do I still have the right to be reborn?"

"Have."

Lance smiled and patted Princess Elsa's head again, then withdrew his right hand, walked past Elsa, and headed towards Andre.

It's truly unexpected that these brother and sister would both live for over two thousand years.

Elsa chose to become an immortal lich.

Andre chose to sell his soul and make a pact with the devil to prolong his existence in the human world.

It's tough.

Poor child.

"Old Teacher"

"You're an old man over two thousand years old, stop crying. You did very well after I died. It's just that your decision to look for my remains was a bit foolish. What's even more foolish is that you sold your soul and made a pact with the devil in order to find my remains."

You don't really think demons are easy to deal with or fool, do you? The lowest level of demon that can respond to you and make a contract with you is a mid-level demon.

If the demon you've made a pact with can descend into the human world in its true form, then this mid-level demon's strength might far exceed your imagination.

However, the fact that you've been able to contend with demons for over two thousand years proves you're far more capable than I imagined. Professor Andre is very proud of you.

Lance patted Andre's shoulder a few times, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Let me see the watering can you're holding."

Andre instinctively handed the watering can, which was cast in gold, to his teacher.

This is the first time I've ever seen such a luxurious gold watering can, inlaid with gemstones, in over three thousand years. "It feels so good to the touch."

"I gave it to the teacher."

"You embezzled so much of my gold and silver jewelry, and all you gave me was a gold kettle?"

"What are you saying, teacher? Did I embezzle? It's clearly a legacy you, the teacher, left to your students."

Lance put away the golden water bottle and gave Andre a light punch.

That brat dared to embezzle his inheritance! This is outrageous!

"You actually hit me, teacher? I was just teasing you. Not only is the golden watering can yours, but this Golden Manor is yours too."

Upon meeting his teacher from over two thousand years later, Andre felt no awkwardness whatsoever; he would occasionally encounter his teacher at Historical Node.

More than two thousand years have passed. It doesn't mean much to him.

"I accept the golden water bottle, and the Golden Manor is yours. Consider it a gift from your teacher."

If Andre had given him this Golden Manor two thousand years ago, he would have accepted it without hesitation.

Forget about it now. The Golden Manor has too much yin energy, and Andre has lived here for two thousand years, so he has too many emotions attached to it.

The Golden Manor was at most a collectible to him; he only considered Black Dragon Island his home.

"Teacher, the Golden Manor was built especially for you. If you don't want to stay there..."

"It makes no difference whether you live here or I live here. Of course, if you don't want to live anymore and want to be reincarnated, then I can take this Golden Manor away. If you don't have any intention of reincarnating, then you can continue to live here. I might bring my dragon cub here for a few days from time to time in the future."

Lance beckoned to the baby dragon.

The young dragon trotted over to the evil dragon's side. Upon seeing Andre, her eyes lit up with excitement. With Princess Elsa's army pressing in, she was still able to maintain her throne. Besides having such a good teacher as the evil dragon, Andre's own talent was also outstanding.

When she returns to the capital, she will become the emperor of the Farolyn Empire by her own efforts.

"Her name is Lucia, Amethyst Dragonling who is not yet an adult. For a long time to come, I will be busy taking care of her."

"Teacher, is she your daughter?"

"You could say that."

It's a daughter, but she was adopted.

From now on, I can't say "I found her" in front of the dragon cub. I've raised her for more than half a year, and I've grown attached to her. If I tell her in front of the dragon cub that she was found, she might feel upset.

He's still waiting for the dragon cub to call him "Dad".

There's more and more hope. In another ten, twenty, or even a hundred years, the dragon cub might voluntarily call him "Dad."

Hopefully, it won't be until the day he dies of old age that the little dragon cub will finally let go of his pride and call him "Dad."

"I understand, teacher. From now on, I will treat her like my own daughter. Oh, no, teacher, why did you hit me again?"

"You're trying to take my daughter away."

"."

Andre was both amused and exasperated. How did his teacher from over two thousand years later become such a doting father? He decided he couldn't afford to offend her and would just treat the young dragon with the Amethyst Turtle Shell on its head as a close junior.

Besides this meeting, what gift would be good to give the baby dragon? The teacher took the golden watering can. If it were still in his possession, giving the golden watering can as a gift to the baby dragon would be a good idea.

I really can't think of a gift to give to the baby dragon.

"Lucia"

"King Andre, you may call me Little Dragon Highness."

"I'll call you Little Dragon Highness, sure, sure Little Dragon Highness, don't you have a saw? Go and wander around the manor. If you see something you like, just take it. If you come across a piece of gold that suits your taste, you can saw it off and take it with you."

Let the Little Dragon Highness raised by the teacher choose a gift that suits her taste. Even if she empties the entire Golden Manor, he won't feel bad.

This Golden Manor was originally built for teachers. Although not all parts of the manor are made of gold, gold accounts for a significant proportion of its structure.

Many of the exquisite decorations are made of pure gold; His Little Dragon Highness should like them.

The young dragon instinctively looked up at the evil dragon.

"Go ahead, don't be polite with him. From now on, when you're here, just treat it like your own home."

"Can I invite Meredith the Rabbit-Ear Girl, as well as Louis, Bazel, and Dalton?"

"You want to empty this place out?"

"No. It's not just fear. I just want to find a few people to give me courage."

"."

Lance sighed, wondering when the little dragon would realize she was a fierce yet adorable Amethyst Dragonling.

How can someone so timid do this?

Oh, he's so timid at his age. Never mind then.

The young dragon grinned and called out to the Rabbit-Ear Girl Meredith, as well as Louis, Bazel, Dalton.

They had collaborated once when they were making money by setting up a stall in Lionheart City, the Norton Kingdom.

Meredith, Louis, Dalton, and Bazel came to Little Dragon Highness's side. Meredith looked at the old man in front of her with disbelief in her eyes. The old man was not a reincarnation, but Andre's teacher back then. If that's what he said, then the old man has lived for more than two thousand years.

Is Old Man Lance has lived this long, still human?

"Old man."

"What's wrong?"

Can I ask you a question?

"Ask away."

Meredith hesitated for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Grandpa, you've lived from the Ander Kingdom until now?"

"Well, I've been telling you all that my life is coming to an end, but you didn't believe me. I'm over two thousand years old. How much longer do you think I can live?"

"No, sir, are you sure you're still human? A normal person couldn't live this long. Have you turned yourself into a lich or some kind of corpse demon?"

"You're overthinking it. The reason I've lived this long is because I've cultivated a legendary divine skill called the ' Nine Deaths Undying Nirvana Rebirth Divine Art.' Simply put, this technique is like the legendary Phoenix. After reaching a certain level, you die once and are reborn through fire. If you can comprehend the true essence of the 'Nine Deaths Undying Rebirth Through Fire Technique,' theoretically you can achieve immortality. In reality, this legendary divine skill can only extend your lifespan. To achieve true immortality, you still need to condense a divine spark and ignite the Divine Fire."

Meredith nodded as if she understood, but she had never heard of the Nine Deaths Undying Nirvana Rebirth Divine Art before, and she didn't know if the divine skill was really as miraculous as Old Man Lance had said.

She knew about the Phoenix.

Because the Phoenix, like the dragon, is a real entity.

The Phoenix is called the Phoenix because it can be reborn from fire. Could it be that Old Man Lance has the blood of Phoenix flowing through his veins? "Hehe, Old Man Lance, can I cultivate this legendary and miraculous technique?"

Dalton rubbed his hands together, making no attempt to hide his thoughts. Such a magical technique—it would be great to have the chance to experience it.

"Don't even think about it. This technique could kill you if you're not careful. When you're reborn from the ashes, the terrifying flames might burn your soul to ashes."

"That's too dangerous, then forget it."

The old man wasn't a stingy person. If this legendary skill wasn't dangerous, he certainly wouldn't mind passing it on to them. This shows that the skill might actually kill them.

After overhearing the conversation between Meredith and Lance, Andre and Princess Elsa finally understood why Lance had been able to be resurrected.

It wasn't a faked death as they imagined, but rather the so-called "Nine Deaths Undying Nirvana Rebirth Divine Art, which allows one to be reborn from the ashes. "Old man, how many times have you died?"

"Including the one from a while ago, that makes it eight times."

"???"

Alright, alright. So it turns out he didn't live a second life, but an eighth Old Man Lance has deceived them so much. Meredith was taken away by the baby dragon, and the Rabbit-Ear Girl was almost driven mad by the evil dragon's deception. What Nine Deaths Undying Nirvana Rebirth Divine Art is that? He can live so long because he's not human at all.

It is an evil dragon.

The dragon has only recently come of age. If nothing unexpected happens, he can not only send away this fake baby dragon he picked up, but also send everyone here away. Listening to the dragon's stories is not as good as going on an adventure and searching for treasure. "Andre, wait a minute, Elsa, come here."

Elsa obediently came to Andre's side.

"Andre, Elsa, do you two want to be reincarnated? Or do you want to continue living as you are now? If you want to be reincarnated, after we finish dealing with the Golden City, I will arrange for you to be reincarnated in Hell. There is one advantage to living a long time: you will make more friends."

If you don't want to be reincarnated Andre, I'll ask my friend to see if he can remove the wanted bounty on you from the underworld.

As for you, Elsa, my friend said Hell is short-staffed lately. If you don't reincarnate, I'll have my friend ask the Grim Reapers in Hell if they can give you a position as an "Trainee Death God Reaper," making you an unofficial Grim Reaper in Hell.

"???"

Is this outrageous?

They even have resources from Hell. According to Lance, his friend holds a fairly high position in Hell. He can get the bounty on Andre removed from Hell and make her an unofficial "Trainee Death God". You can't do that without a certain status and position.

"Teacher, what I did might be quite serious. Things might not be so easy to talk to in hell."

"Don't worry about these things. Just tell me your wishes, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Two thousand years have passed, and I've gotten used to this kind of life teacher. If I could, I wouldn't want to be reincarnated."

"Understood."

"Go and ask the soldiers who follow you if they wish to be reincarnated. If they do, I will arrange it."

"Understood, teacher."

Andre left, relaying Lance's words: if these loyal and brave soldiers who had followed him for over two thousand years were willing to be reincarnated, he would ask his teacher to allow them to be reborn into families with better conditions.

"And you Elsa, will you choose reincarnation? Or become an unofficial Trainee Death God in Hell?"

Do I look really handsome like this?

"Yeah, he's handsome."

"Then I want to become an unofficial Trainee Death God in Hell. I've been a human, and a princess at that. It seems interesting to Trainee Death God as Trainee Death God."

"That's good. I can give it a try. If I ever find Trainee Death God boring, I can always reincarnate."

"Teacher, the soldiers do not wish to be reincarnated."

"Then let them continue to follow you. I will try to make them official soldiers of Hell, still under your command."

Next, let's resolve the demon contract you signed. Can you summon the demon you made the contract with here?

"I'll try to see if I can get this demon to voluntarily break the soul contract it made with you."

Andre might not be aware of it, but he could see that there were densely packed demonic runes flowing across Andre's soul.

Occasionally, those words would transform into demonic phantoms, clinging to Andre's soul and drawing upon it.
