After careful consideration, Angel decided to sign a contract with Shadow.
Contracts are more suitable for constraining behavior than swearing by the will of the world. Swearing by the will of the world is very noble, but this is only between formal wizards. They swear by will and spirit, so when swearing, they want to deceive the will of the world through language loopholes. Basically,
Doesn't work.
But wizard apprentices cannot do this, because the apprentice's will and spirit are not enough to spy on the world's will from afar, and the result of forcibly spying is likely to be a mental breakdown. Therefore, wizard apprentices can only swear by the world's will through language, and language itself
It is a communication symbol that is most easily deceived. A double entendre or a vague statement... may bypass the surveillance of the world's will.
Angel is very aware of the loopholes in the will of the world. He does not challenge whether he or Shadow has better language skills. He chooses a satisfactory contract, which is the safest.
There may also be tricks in written contracts. But the contract Angel wants to use was found in a wizard magazine. It has been passed down from generation to generation and has been drafted and altered countless times. It is almost flawless.
contract.
"The contract drafted by Khulna in front of the tomb of the desperate tyrant".
This is an equal contract drawn up between a wizard apprentice named Kuerna and another wizard apprentice before he was about to explore the tomb of the ancient wizard "Desperate Tyrant", in the hope that they could restrain each other while exploring the tomb.
The content of this contract has been very complete a long time ago. After nearly ten thousand years of inheritance, some minor loopholes have been modified by later generations. Now, it is almost flawless. It is just right to use it at this time.
Drawing up a binding contract requires paper that can hold magic.
Angel rummaged around in the bracelet for a long time, but couldn't find any suitable paper. In the end, he could only take out a piece of Chaos Drum animal skin paper with a pained look on his face. This was the 700 magic piece he had taken on the Twilight Shooter.
There are only 50 pieces of crystal. It is a kind of leather paper that can carry magic energy array and is very precious.
Because it was so precious, he had never used it himself. Unexpectedly, the first time he used it, it was not used to carry the magic energy array, but used to draft a contract!
This is completely overkill. But Angel can't help it, he has no other paper that can carry magic power.
With heartache, flesh pain, and liver pain, Angel quickly drew up the contract and threw it into the mist.
When the drafted written contract was placed in front of Shadow, Shadow was stunned for a moment.
"Kulna's draft contract... Hehe, you are indeed not a wild person." If you don't choose the will of the world to swear, the contract also uses ancient clauses, which clearly shows that Angel's identity comes from the orthodox wizard organization.
After reading the contract, Shadow felt a little settled. Since the other party was willing to sign the contract, he didn't need to reveal the final trump card. After all, this was related to his chances of promotion, so he didn't need to use it if he could.
This is an equal contract. Basically, the content is that each other must not harm, harm, or frame each other, and they can communicate with each other on an equal footing. The time limit is: 1 year.
Shadow held on to his weak body and read it, confirming that it was correct.
He raised his head and glanced at the seabirds wearing tuxedo jackets staring at the sky, as well as the colorful dragonflies flashing next to them. Shadow sighed, "I admit defeat."
Shadow said that, using his own magic power as a guide, he dripped his own blood essence on the contract. The blood essence slowly rolled on the paper with the magic power, and finally at the lower right, the blood essence melted into the paper and turned into a
circular mark.
"So round? No smudge at all? The power of essence and blood also locks the magic power tightly, and the magic power doesn't leak out at all... This paper is quite high-end, isn't it?" Shadow flipped open the back of the paper.
When he looked at the circles of patterns that looked like chaotic clouds, he was stunned.
"Are you kidding me? This is chaos drum animal skin paper?!"
Angel didn't reply, and his heart ached at the moment. He signaled Toby to take the contract back. After Angel confirmed that the contract was valid, he also dripped his own blood onto it.
In an instant, a huge and majestic aura surrounded the two people. The witness of this contract is the will of the world, so there is no doubt that this aura also comes from the will of the world.
When the contract slowly lifted into the sky, Angel canceled the misty illusion and released the shadow.
This is the last step. Those who sign the contract will witness the establishment of the contract together.
Shadow covered his wound and limped towards Angel. Looking at the contract floating and burning in mid-air, his face felt distressed.
"Is this really Chaos Drum animal hide paper?", "Really?", "Look at the pattern, it's basically Chaos Drum animal hide that has been carefully tanned!"
Shadow kept asking questions. The more Angel listened, the more he felt heartbroken. That was expensive, a piece of paper with at least 10 magic crystals! Even if he is very rich now, he has also burned money with energy stabilizers.
But that was on the edge of the knife...and today, he was really "burning" money!
The contract signed on the chaos drum animal skin slowly burned in the air and finally turned into ashes.
Immediately afterwards, two rays of light penetrated into the bodies of Shadow and Angel... The contract was completed!
"Is this Chaos Drum Beast Skin Paper?" Shadow was still asking from the side.
Angel's face was expressionless: "Don't you see it?"
Shadow: "I still can't believe that you actually used the Chaos Drum Skin paper to make the contract paper. Which organization did you come from? You actually spent so much money? If you had known earlier, you would have given me the Chaos Drum Skin paper. What do you think?"
Whatever news I know, I’ll tell you!”
Angel didn't say anything. He gently raised his hand to cancel the extremely luxurious nightmare realm.
Now that he has signed a contract, Shadow will never dare to harm him within the scope of the rules. Otherwise, the end will be a disaster.
With the cancellation of the extremely luxurious nightmare, they returned to the narrow and cramped small room again.
The puppet strings emerged from the ten fingers of the shadow and began to control the previously unconscious puppets, slowly returning to their seats.
Everyone, everyone, there are ten seats in the entire round table, nine of them are currently occupied, and there is one seat that was originally occupied by the shadow, which is currently vacant.
Shadow glanced at the vacant position, a cold light flashed in his eyes, slowly turned his head away, and healed his wounds.
Angel asked: "Aren't you going to sit down?"
Shadow: "I'll take care of the wound first."
Angel saw that Shadow was not sitting down, so he sat down. Looking at the apprentices opposite with dull faces and strange smiles, Angel asked curiously: "Why do you want to control them?"
When Shadow saw Angel sitting down, he secretly sneered at the corner of his mouth. Then he stood up, controlled one of the puppets to stand up, and sat opposite Angel.
"Although we have signed an equal contract, I don't need to explain to you what I do, right?"
"It's up to you." Angel said nonchalantly. He didn't care about the shadow. He just asked casually.
Shadow: "At least we have signed a contract. Let's get to know each other?"
"You can call me Mask." Angel said.
Shadow used a cleaning technique to shake off the dust and blood on the surface of his skin, revealing a handsome face with an extremely sharp temperament: "Mask? Okay, you don't want to say the name, then we will all use code names."
Angel nodded, and the place fell into silence. Whether it was him or Shadow, they were adjusting their emotions. They were fiercely hostile one moment, and it was not easy to talk to each other calmly the next moment. So, this
There was silence, both of them knowing what to do.
Shadow recovered his limited magic power and completely healed the exposed wounds. He seemed to be mentally adjusted, and then he said: "It's really bad luck. I didn't expect that I have been in this area for so many years, but I almost fell into the trap at the critical moment.
It's overturned. Alas, now that I've signed the contract, I won't lie about it. Now let's fulfill my previous promise. I can tell you whatever you want to know."
Angel, who became the "gutter", did not argue with this, and said calmly: "I followed the magician to this party for two purposes. First, I want to leave the fairy tale world, so I need the map here." After a pause.
After a pause: "It would be best if there were maps of other areas of Fan Continent."
"I can give you the map of the fairy tale world, but Fan Continent is too big. Don't say I don't have a map. Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to give it to you directly. But where are you going after you leave the fairy tale world? If I know the way, I
I can tell you." Shadow said bluntly.
Angel thought for a while. He was actually not very familiar with the Southern Territory. Since coming to Fan Continent, he had learned about many places from books, but he had never been to any of them. He had basically been there this year.
I stayed in the Savage Cave and never traveled far.
Which place is better? Barbaric Cave? Or Sky Mechanical City?
If we return to the Savage Cave from the Fairy Tale World and then go to the Sky Mechanical City, will we be able to catch up with the opening of the Purification Garden? Angel doesn’t know this question. Because he doesn’t even know where the Fairy Tale World is, how far away is it from the Sky Mechanical City and the Savage Cave?
He didn't even know how far away it was.
"Put this issue aside for now and talk about it later." Angel continued: "The second purpose of my coming to this party is to exchange some materials."
"Materials? What materials do you need? If I have them, I can exchange them with you." Shadow asked.
Angel directly took out a list and threw it to Shadow.
"37 standard quantities of Wushu silk, 20 standard cups of Maolan gravel, 1 standard quantity of Wushu soft gel..." Shadow looked at this list. He didn't say anything about the top ones because they were all very common.
It is also a commonly used material, but as he went to the back, he also showed a strange expression: "High copper 9 kilograms, meteorite iron standard density 1 cubic meter, dark wood..."
"These are non-level materials, and the price is not expensive. But the quantity you want is too much, and I don't have it here at the moment." Shadow paused, and asked curiously: "You want so many non-level materials?
What are the materials used for? Do you also want to be an alchemist?"
"Why use the word 'ye'?"
"Because I know many of my peers, and all of them want to be alchemists." Shadow replied.
Angel: "Including you?"
Shadow shook his head: "Not included. I have no talent, and I have no interest in sitting in the laboratory every day to come up with this or that idea."
