Chapter 627 Yrniel.
"Nawdren, cut the fingers of your right hand."
Suddenly, Riona ordered with an expressionless look on her face.
"What? Why!?" Nawdren questioned back.
Of course, he wasn't willing to do something like this, however, suddenly, a Golden Colored Chain wrapped around Nawdren's neck.
The moment his eyes fell on those chains, Nawdren's eyes widened in horror.
He quickly grabbed a sword and,
"Ugghhhh!!!"
Groaned in pain as he cut off all the fingers of his right hand.
"You…"
He glared at Riona, hatred, and anger clear in his eyes which were red. His right hand was trembling, and his face was red, clearly, he was in immense pain.
If it was a normal situation, he would have killed this bitch standing right in front of him, however…
He could not do that…
He could only swallow his anger back and clench his fist in frustration.
A quick l𝐨𝐨k at 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍．𝒄𝙤𝙢 will leave you m𝐨re fulfilled.
"Why did you order me to do it…?"
However, Nawdren still couldn't hold himself back from asking the reason.
"I just wanted to test if the Contract works or not."
Riona just shrugged.
Nawdren's expression changed.
"What… did you say?"
He questioned with a dark expression on his face.
"Do I need to repeat myself?"
Riona glanced back with a single change in her expression.
Nawdren's aura was intimidating, however, Riona had to make things clear here.
She was not just Nux's proxy that Nawdren could just ignore or underestimate, her position here was higher than Nawdren's, and she had to make sure Nawdren knew that.
"You already know everything about the Contract don't you?"
Nawdren questioned.
"Who knows? The information I received might be something you wanted to feed me. I needed to test it out just to be sure."
"Oh yeah? Then by that logic, you can even say that I am just acting and only cut my finger to make you all trust me and am not actually under your control or something."
Nawdren retorted.
He couldn't believe how ridiculous Riona sounded.
"…"
Riona glanced at Nawdren.
"What?"
Nawdren questioned as he glanced at Riona.
"…" Riona didn't say anything and continued to look at Nawdren's face.
"Wait… you are not thinking…"
"…"
Nawdren just couldn't believe it.
"Should I order him to kill himself to confirm it?"
Riona turned towards Amaya and questioned.
"We still have some questions, we can't kill him yet."
Amaya shook her head.
"That's true.
Do you have any better idea?" Riona questioned.
"We can order him to cut off his legs. I don't think he would agree to do that since that would make it impossible for him to take his revenge in the future." Amaya suggested.
Riona started considering this option.
Nawdren, on the other hand, couldn't believe what kind of merciless demons he was standing in front of. Just… Just how can they discuss something like that with such an emotionless expression on their faces?
However, Nawdren didn't have time to think about all those things.
"I am not acting! There is no way I would cut my fingers just so I could fool you. The Master-Servant Contract is the real deal!"
"And how do we know that you are not fooling us?" Riona questioned as she narrowed her eyes.
"I am not fooling you! Just what in the hell is wrong with you!?"
"I still can't trust you."
"You…!!"
Nawdren was boiling in anger but didn't have any power to do anything.
While Nawdren and Riona had this exchange, Amaya, who was standing behind Riona glanced at Nux and nodded lightly.
Nux nodded back and then, he stepped forward.
"Alright, I will trust you for now, Nawdren."
"T-Thank you!"
Nawdren quickly turned towards Nux and thanked him.
These bitches… they nearly forced him to cut off his own legs…
Nawdren sighed inwardly and while he did that, Nux spoke.
"Now I will ask you some questions, answer me as precisely as possible."
"Ask whatever you want."
Nawdren's information appeared in front of Nux again (not showing, it was there in the last chapter) and he questioned,
"What is the Sealed Continent?"
Protector of the Sealed Continent.
That was Nawdren's Occupation that the System showed. Nux had a rough idea now what this Sealed Continent actually was, however, it was still just an assumption, he still wasn't sure.
"Is there a Sealed Continent around here? Or is it a completely different land?"
Nux questioned.
Nawdren, however, shook his head and replied,
"The continent we currently are living on is the Sealed Continent."
"Explain." 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭
"The World we live in is called Yrniel."
"Yrniel…"
"I do not know much about Yrniel either, I only know what my father told me, however, what I know for sure is that this Continent is a very small part of Yrniel."
"So you are saying…
That after the Forbidden Region, this continent extends further and there's a bigger world?"
"Our continent is just a small place that is surrounded by Bloodhill Wilderness. If you cross the so-called Forbidden Region, you would understand that our continent is surrounded by an ocean from all directions, we will arrive at the mainland of Yrniel once we travel through the ocean.
My father ordered me to stop anyone who wanted to travel the ocean and explore the rest of the Yrniel."
Nawdren explained.
"Why did he say that?"
"That's the Contract my Grandfather signed with the Ancestor. I do not know the reason, but your Ancestor never wished for you people to actually leave this continent and explore Yrniel.
He wanted you all to stay in this small place for the rest of eternity."
"I don't get it, why would he wish for something like this?"
Nux frowned.
Nawdren, however, just shook his head,
"I do not know anything about that. I only know that my family has been honoring the Contract even after so much time has passed."
Suddenly, Evane frowned,
"Why are you still honoring it? Does this Contract even applies to family members?"
"Normally, it shouldn't, however, my Grandfather and the Ancestor signed a Blood Contract, one of the strongest Contracts there are and yes, it applies to everyone that carries the blood of my Grandfather."
"Wait…"
Suddenly, Astaria glanced at Nawdren and questioned,
"Are you going to stop us from exploring the rest of the world as well?"
