Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 4)

Chapter 707 - NPC Follower

Yallop's gaze seemed to cut through Sampur. He looked like he wanted to tear Sampur's throat out.

"Kneel!" A guard ruthlessly stomped the back of Yallop's knee.

Yallop nearly collapsed to the ground, but he forcefully regained his footing.

"Sampur, a warrior of the Kavannas will never kneel before anyone!" Yallop said in a deep tone, his eyes shining with an unyielding light.

Sampur's eyes flashed with killing intent. However, he still maintained his calm. "Yallop, you're free."

"Cut your bullshit, Sampur. What are you planning. You think I'll fall for your trickery so easily?" Yallop sneered.

"The Great Prophet is the new lord of the Abernathy Great Grasslands. He's decided to absolve you of your crimes. So, you're free. But from now on, you're no longer a warrior of the Kavannas. You're hereby banished from the tribe," Sampur coldly said.

Yallop was stunned. He slowly turned his head to Nie Yan. Only now did he understand why Sampur would suddenly let him go. I'm saved... A spark of hope illuminated his heart, lifting him up from the pits of despair. He clenched his fists until his veins bulged out, revealing the turbulent emotions in his heart.

Yallop was like a beast. He wished for nothing more than to tear Sampur apart limb by limb. But after this fierce internal struggle, he calmed his agitated self. He relaxed his grip, as the bulging veins on his arms slowly receded. If he attacked Sampur, not only would he fail to kill him, but he would also be throwing his life away and betraying Nie Yan's kindness.

Yallop no longer paid attention to Sampur. He faced Nie Yan properly, placed his hand over his chest, and kneeled down on one leg.

"Yallop, didn't you say a warrior of the Kavannas will never kneel to anyone?" Sampur coldly chuckled.

"You banished me from the Kavannas. I'm no longer a warrior of yours. From now on, I'm the slave of the Great Prophet!" Yallop raised his head and gazed at Nie Yan with firm resolve. "Please, let me serve you. In the name of the God of the Grasslands Bekepein, I swear my undying loyalty to you!"

Nie Yan was caught off guard by this development. A notification suddenly popped up.

Are you willing to accept Great Berserker Yallop as your slave?

Seeing this notification, Nie Yan couldn't hold back his excitement. He didn't expect to obtain such a harvest today. However, he wasn't sure about taking in Yallop as a slave. After all, it was the lowest position in society.

Nie Yan suddenly thought of something and hit no on the prompt.

"I'm sorry, Yallop. I can't accept you as a slave." Nie Yan shook his head.

Yallop's face crumpled. "G-great Prophet, am I not even worthy of being your slave...? I-" Even if he left this place himself, he would be hunted down by Sampur's men. The only safe way out he saw, was to put aside his ego and submit to Nie Yan. Who would've thought he would be rejected?

"Let me finish. Yallop, being branded a slave is a stain for a brave warrior like you. I hereby free you of your status as a slave. If you're willing, you can join me as my follower," Nie Yan said.

Yallop's face lit back up. He gave Nie Yan a grateful look.

Nie Yan could tell Yallop's feelings were sincere. What he wanted wasn't an obedient slave but rather a loyal servant!

Normally, a player could have up to three followers after becoming the leader of a Level 8 guild; something Asskickers United was still a ways off from reaching. However, Nie Yan as a Great Prophet had no such restriction. At present, he could recruit up to five servants. When Asskickers United rose to a Level 8 guilld, he could have another three slots.
