After bidding farewell to Shelly, Roy did not spend the next few days in seclusion to cultivate, but instead prepared to go around and get acquainted with the other elders in the vicinity.
As outsiders from the Four Divine Beast Clan, these elders seemed to be harmonious.
From their conversations, Roy learned that after joining the Four Divine Beast Clan, they had also cultivated in various high-level planes of the divine realms. However, thousands of years ago, the Four Divine Beast Clan had summoned them back, saying that the clan would soon make a big move and they needed the help of the elders. That's why they returned to the Tianji Mountain Range.
"A big move?"
Upon hearing these elders' words, Roy felt that the upcoming big move of the Four Divine Beast Clan might be related to the clan's aspirations to become the number one clan in the future.
However, he didn't know exactly what the Four Divine Beast Clan would do.
After all, besides his current understanding of Hell, he had no knowledge of other divine realms.
In fact, at just over 10,000 years old, Roy was still a novice compared to the other elders who were millions of years old. His knowledge was almost the same as that of a nursing baby.
Of course, Roy didn't mention his age, and no one knew that he was only a little over 10,000 years old.
Five days later, the attendants arranged for Roy by the Four Divine Beast Clan arrived.
But...
Roy rubbed his forehead and looked at the girl in front of him, feeling a little overwhelmed.
When Shelly told him that the Four Divine Beast Clan would arrange attendants for him, Roy knew it was an offer he couldn't refuse.
Officially, these people were arranged by the Four Divine Beast Clan to serve the elders, but everyone knew that they were the spies the Four Divine Beast Clan planted by their side. These attendants all possessed multiple divine avatars, and if the elders were to betray the Four Divine Beast Clan, they would face severe punishment from the clan immediately.
"Tell me, what's your name and why are you here?"
"Lord Roy, my name is Chris Nemo. I am seventeen years old, and I am the great-great-granddaughter of the patriarch of the Vermilion Clan. The patriarch said that Aunt Shelly did something silly and sent me here to serve you, hoping to gain your forgiveness..."
"And also, the patriarch told me to tell you that I won't come of age until next year. If you don't want me to have divine avatars, I can enter the Bloodline Awakening Pool early and become a god, just serving as your personal maid, Lord Roy."
Looking at Chris's timid appearance, Roy couldn't help but sigh.
From Chris's words, Roy could indeed feel the sincerity of the Vermilion Clan patriarch, Teya.
Chris Nemo, seventeen years old, in the early stage of the Holy Domain, comprehended the profound water system laws.
This meant that Chris didn't have any other avatars like the other maids. She wasn't just a servant, but also a surveillance officer.
The second point was that after becoming his maid, Chris could enter the Bloodline Awakening Pool early next year, and Roy could decide Chris's fate, allowing her to become a god and completely eliminate the possibility of her becoming a spy.
This was how big clans operated.
To appease any potential resentment Roy might have in the future, Chris was the one sacrificed.
"Relax, I'm not that scary."
Seeing the little girl still somewhat afraid, Roy waved his hand, "Since Patriarch Teya sent you to take care of my daily life, let me tell you my requirements. If you think you can accept them, then stay."
"If you can't accept them, I will directly talk to Patriarch Teya, and I won't make things difficult for you."
"No, no, no, Elder Roy, please just tell me your requirements. I can definitely meet them."
Upon hearing Roy's words, a flicker of fear flashed in Chris' eyes as she bowed repeatedly to Roy.
Roy didn't miss the fear in Chris's eyes.
Obviously, someone from outside is exerting pressure on Kriss.
Perhaps it is Kriss's parents who are pressuring her, or perhaps it is Kriss's parents who are pressuring her.
In any case, looking at the current situation, if Kriss cannot stay here, her outcome may not be very good.
"Well, then listen carefully."
"Uh huh."
"The first."
Roy raised his index finger: "Usually, I will practice in the room on the second floor of the castle. If there is nothing else, you must not disturb my practice."
"Uh huh."
"The second ..."
Roy raised another finger: "As my maid, if I am not practicing, you can ask me any questions about practice."
"Although I am of the Earth system, and the laws I comprehend are not the same as yours, all things have a common source, so at least in terms of practicing ideas, I can give you some directions."
"Well, thank you, Lord Roy."
"Third, since you have stepped into this palace, to some extent, you represent my face. Anyone who troubles or bullies you is hitting my face. If I don't fight back, it would make people think I am weak and can be bullied."
"So, no matter where you are, if you suffer injustice, tell me directly and I will reclaim the lost face."
"If you let people outside feel that I am easy to bully because you hide and don't report, then you don't need to stay with me."
"Ah?"
"What?"
Roy raised an eyebrow. "These are my requirements for a maid. Can you do it?"
"If you can, stay."
"If you can't, I will go to practice with Patriarch Tia and let him send other servants."
"No, no, I can, I can do it!"
Kriss clenched her fists in front of her chest and replied in her loudest voice.
"Very good."
A satisfied smile appeared on Roy's face.
"I hope you remember what you just said. If one day I feel that you cannot do it, I will replace you at any time."
"Uh huh."
"Well, I'm going to start practicing now. Find a room for yourself and settle down."
"If you have anything, just go to my practice room to find me."
"Yes, Elder Roy."
Watching Roy go upstairs and enter the room, the tense young girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed her body, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and patted her small chest: "Hmm... scared me to death."
"But, it feels like Elder Roy is not as scary as Grace and the others said, huh?"
"Elder Roy is going to practice, what should I do?"
Kriss frowned and searched her memory for what the maids usually do during these times.
"Oh, right, at this time, I should be cleaning."
