Chapter 473 Sword Maid

The Demon-Servant Curse is an extremely advanced seal magic, and it is also the most terrifying taboo among many seal magics.

It is different from ordinary slavery magic, but a more advanced and thorough control. It can not only forcibly bind the loyalty of the recipient, but also deeply imprint the spirit, will and even soul of the demon lord into the recipient's body, making him the most loyal shadow of the demon lord, and there is no possibility of betrayal from then on.

This kind of contract magic cannot be cast casually, it has extremely harsh conditions. First of all, it can only be effective between opposite sexes, the demon master must cast the spell personally and establish a soul bond with the recipient under the witness of the contract.

Secondly, the magic seal cannot be imposed by force, and the recipient must surrender from the heart and willingly offer everything she has. Only when she is truly willing to serve the devil and become the devil's servant, will the contract take effect, otherwise the seal cannot be engraved and the spell will end in failure.

However, even with these conditions, it is still not easy to cast the magic seal. The magic power, mental power and willpower of the demon lord are all indispensable. If any one of them is insufficient, the contract will not be stable, and even backfire on the caster. The power of the contract is extremely strong, and it will even burden the demon lord himself. Therefore, even with Xie Lin's current strength, he can only maintain this contract on three demon servants.

Once the magic servant seal takes effect, the loyalty of the magic servant will be absolutely guaranteed. The magic servant cannot lie to the devil, and all her thoughts will be presented to the devil without reservation, and any deception and concealment will become meaningless.

At the same time, the Demon Lord can communicate with the Demon Servant through telepathy at any time regardless of the distance. Without language, he can directly convey instructions or ideas to her with thoughts alone, ensuring that she always obeys the Demon Lord's will.

The most terrifying thing is that the Demon Servant will never betray her again. If she rebels, even if she has a slight thought of harming the Demon Lord, or attempts to escape the contract by self-mutilation or suicide, the Servant Demon Curse will immediately launch a punishment, causing her to suffer unbearable torture.

The excruciating pain of being cut by a thousand knives swept through her body, and every inch of her skin felt like it was being cut by a sharp blade. At the same time, an itch like thousands of ants gnawing at her bones erupted from deep in her bones, making her feel like she was dying. The pain and torture continued until she gave up all thoughts of betrayal and submitted to the will of the Demon Lord again.

After the spell is cast, the magic contract document will automatically burn, turning into a ray of light and condensing into an ancient mark. This mark is in the form of two snakes intertwined, like a symbol of bondage and belonging, deeply engraved on the neck of the demon servant. It is not only a symbol of the demon servant's loyalty to the demon lord, but also a mark of her identity. From this moment on, she will no longer belong to herself, but will completely belong to the demon lord and become an extension of the demon lord's will.

Seeing the once proud and noble Katarina kneeling on the ground in such a humble manner, Xie Ling felt a little bit of pity in his heart. He couldn't help but ask, "You really don't regret it?"

Katarina slowly raised her head, her scarlet eyes revealing a cold determination. Her voice was without hesitation, with a chilling determination: "I have no way to retreat. I am an avenger, and revenge is the only reason for my survival. For revenge, I can give up everything, even myself. If the master helps me to complete my revenge, then the master is the supreme meaning of my existence."

Her gaze was unwavering, even with an almost fanatical belief, as if the whole world had faded away, leaving only the flame of hatred burning in her heart. And Xie Ling was her only hope in this life.

Schelling stared at Katarina quietly, his eyes deep as the abyss. He could feel her soul burning, the blazing fire of revenge devouring everything, including herself. And he was the only one who could guide this flame.

Xie Lin leaned forward slightly, and lifted Katarina's chin with his slender fingers, forcing her to look at him. His eyes were as deep as the abyss, as if he could see through the obsession and pain deep in her soul.

"Very good, Katarina." His voice was deep and full of irresistible power. "I will help you get revenge. No matter who your enemies are, they will pay the price they deserve. I will give you the power to destroy those who betray you and trample on your dignity with your own hands."

His tone was unhurried but full of absolute confidence, as if everything was already predetermined and no one could defy his will.

As Xie Lin spoke, his fingers slowly slid down along her delicate jaw, across her pale and slender neck, and finally landed on the mark of two snakes entwined. The moment his fingertips touched, the magic mark seemed to sense his presence, emitting a faint magical glow, and a warm touch was transmitted back from his fingertips. The hot magic penetrated into her skin and blood along the mark, blending with her soul, making her clearly realize that she belonged to Xie Lin. "But you must remember, from today on, you are not only an avenger, but also my magic servant." Xie Lin's fingers slowly slid along the mark, as if deepening some invisible imprint, his voice was low but unquestionable: "I will let you understand that being my servant is not a humiliation, but an honor."

The corners of his lips slightly raised, that smile was evil and determined, like a king looking down at his subjects, with an irresistible charm: "One day, you will be proud of this mark, and proud to serve me."

"Get up!" Sherin stretched out his hand, helped Katarina up, and spoke slowly, with an irresistible majesty in his tone, "From today on, you are my 'Sword Maid'. You are not bound by the Malfoy clan rules or any family rules. You only obey me."

Katarina was startled for a moment, and then her eyes, which had been cold due to pain and despair, ignited with a new light. The Maid of the Sword, this is not only a title that symbolizes loyalty, but also a recognition, a new identity that belongs to her. She is no longer an exile abandoned by the family, but a direct servant of Xie Lin, and her only master is him.

Xie Lin withdrew his hand, changed his tone, and said meaningfully: "Now, I just happen to be in need of a steward to help me manage the vassal families under my command."

Katarina raised her head and frowned slightly, seeming a little surprised by this arrangement.

"You were born into one of the most powerful and prestigious pure-blood families in France. You must have received training in family management since childhood." Xie Lin continued, "You know better than anyone the open and secret struggles and power calculations among pure-blood families. You are not only good at destruction, but you should also learn how to manage - how to make the foundation of my power more solid."

Katarina was silent for a moment, then lowered her eyelids and whispered, "Yes, Master."

Xie Lin looked at her with satisfaction, a faint smile on his face.

He already had ten vassal families under his command, and they were strictly divided into different classes. Selwyn and Yaxley belonged to the first-tier senior vassal families, while the remaining Vankanda, Blackie, Quigley, Cadwallader, Higgs, Warrington, Montague and Lestrange belonged to the second-tier middle-level vassal families.

This is a rare occasion in the history of pure-blood families. Even the Malfoy family did not have more than five vassals at its peak.

Moreover, with Nymphadora's return to the family, the Black family will also be revived with his secret help. Then, the Fry family and the Slahorn family are also surging undercurrents, and sooner or later they will be taken under his command. At that time, the various administrative, financial, diplomatic and other political affairs of the vassal families will only become more complicated.

He usually asked Daphne to help manage it on a daily basis, but as the leader of the Sleeping Dragon Society and Xie Lin's personal assistant, Daphne already had enough things to do.

Xie Lin once thought about handing this matter over to Savannah, who is proficient in internal affairs and management. However, on the one hand, Savannah lacks the background to intimidate the major families. On the other hand, Savannah is proficient in foreign languages ​​and is a master of tactics. It would be a waste of her talents to use her to handle these chores.

What's more, Catarina is currently being hunted by Walpurgis, so it is most appropriate for her to hide in Ella's cabin and handle government affairs for him.
