For wizards, magical contracts are a common and very popular means of restraint.
Old, but very effective.
In the wizarding world where there is no logic, this credit system that relies on unknown mysteries has gone through a long period of testing and gained the trust of all wizards.
According to the entry in the "Encyclopedia of the Wizarding World", a magic contract is based on magic power, with documents, magic formations, spells, witchcraft and other carriers as the intermediary, and the mysterious existence deep in the starry sky as the witness.
In the case of mutual recognition, a signed and enforceable certificate of relationship.
Different from the slavery contract, master-servant contract, punishment contract and other forms favored by ancient wizards, people-oriented equal contracts are more popular in the modern wizarding world.
Modern magical contracts focus on regulating the rights and obligations of the contracting parties, and generally prohibit damage to the personal rights of the contracting parties. To this end, the plenary meeting of the Wizards Union specifically passed the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, abolishing slavery and
Forced servitude, except as a punishment for a crime.
Therefore, in the modern context, making a magical contract is not as full of fraud and malice as most people imagine.
Therefore, the two young men, who were slightly drunk, had no psychological burden on kidnapping two drunkards to sign a magic contract.
"The magic contract will only consider whether the signer is qualified and whether both parties agree; it will not measure the alcohol concentration in the blood of the signer." Xiao Xiao grabbed the quill, sketched on the parchment roll, and finally clicked with satisfaction.
Head, handed the drafted contract to Zheng Qing for review.
But before the parchment with alterations fell into Zheng Qing's hands, Fatty Xin snatched it away.
"It's so hard to sign a contract!" The fat man wiped his nose with the greasy napkin around his neck and laughed loudly: "Not a man at all!"
As he spoke, he held the silver table knife with a white ivory handle and lightly scratched it with the tip of his thumb.
Dark red blood seeped out quickly along with the scratches, dyeing his fingers red.
Fatty Xin waved the bloody finger in front of several people as if to show off, and then pressed it directly on the end of the parchment.
"That's it! That's it!" Zhang Jixin took the parchment and pierced a hole in his finger with a table knife, leaving a bloody fingerprint at the end of the paper, and then showed it to Zheng Qing with a proud look on his face:
"Did you see it?! Signed!"
"Signed!!" Fatty Xin put his arm around the red-faced boy's shoulders and shouted.
"I signed it to prove that I am a man who wants to break the shackles!"
"I just want to prove that I am a man who can conquer the world!!"
"Arise! People who want to break the shackles!!"
"Arise! Suffering people all over the world!"
"My blood is boiling!"
"Fight for luoli!"
Two drunken strong men held hands, side by side, shouting songs, frightening all the light bugs on the dragon's blood vine.
Even though he was a little dizzy under the influence of alcohol, Zheng Qing was once again stunned and stunned.
I have never seen anyone selling themselves so neatly and with such great momentum!
And, what the hell is fighting for luoli!
He and Xiao Xiao looked at each other, feeling as if they had discovered something extraordinary.
After getting rid of the noise in his ears, Zheng Qing took the fiery red quill and signed his name on the top of the parchment.
Then Xiao Xiao, as a witness, also signed.
There was a flash of fire, and the parchment turned into a small cluster of ashes.
"Is this the end?" Zheng Qing couldn't help but ask as he watched a wisp of green smoke swirl around the small pile of ashes three times before dissipating.
"Otherwise?" Xiao Xiao put away the quill and curled his lips: "This is just an ordinary magic employment contract. Do you still expect a demon to give you a performance warning after signing the contract?"
This must be a cold joke, Zheng Qing judged in his heart, and laughed twice at the right time.
But this time the compliment only got Xiao Xiao looking like he was looking at a fool.
"Ahem...why do you still carry something like this with you?" Zheng Qing suppressed his dry smile and pinched the remaining ashes of the sheepskin contract with a curious look on his face.
"The old man said that wizards always have to sign a contract. Keep a few copies of your own terms with you so that you can feel more confident when using them." Xiao Xiao shrugged, tilted his head, and signaled that someone was coming at the door.
Zheng Qing sighed, deeply realizing that he was still far away from the true wizard mentality.
When the wandering wizard returned to the private room with the wine, Fatty Xin and Zhang Jixin had already collapsed on the sofa again.
The parchment contract had been properly stored in the gray cloth bag by Zheng Qing.
The fireflies, who were originally too lazy to shine, saw their boss coming and hurriedly puffed up their bellies again and began to spray light into the room.
Only this time, the silvery white light was mixed with many light green and dark yellow colors, giving the light in the room a slightly weird feeling.
The wandering wizard glanced at the little bugs on the dragon's blood vine, but said nothing.
He had four or five light green wine bottles in his hand, and a large notebook under his arm.
"Hurry and help these two tough guys up!" Zheng Qing greeted Xiao Xiao: "The boss is here, we are leaving!"
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry to leave." The wandering wizard quickly stopped the positive actions of the two young wizards.
While he stuffed the unopened bottles of Green Hornet into Zheng Qing's arms, he placed the large book under his arm on the table of the mini bar and spread it out.
"What is this?" Zheng Qing stuffed several bottles of wine into gray cloth bags and looked at the shopkeeper curiously.
"Deed book. It is often found in shops opened by wizards. It is often used for transactions such as accounts, mortgages, and pawns. It is an act by which the creditor attaches binding force to the creditor's rights in order to urge the debtor to perform the contract... It can be simply understood as a large stack of magic contracts.
A bound volume." Xiao Xiao stood behind him and explained without thinking.
"That crucifix is indeed worth the money." Zheng Qing sighed with a very pleased tone.
"So, you don't trust us?" He turned his head and asked the shopkeeper in a very hurt tone.
The wandering wizard took out a dark quill from his arms and chuckled: "Routine...it's just a routine. Don't think too much about it."
As he spoke, he pushed the deed in front of Zheng Qing, pointed to a blank space, and said, "Just sign here."
Zheng Qing took the thick contract book and looked at the dazzling tables, formulas and figures on it, feeling a little dizzy.
"I don't understand." He admitted honestly to the wandering wizard.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." The wandering wizard smiled extremely kindly: "It doesn't matter if you can't understand...here, just sign here!"
His skinny fingers pointed at the blank space at the end of the volume, and the brown and sharp nails rubbed against the paper, making a harsh sound.
Next to the blank signature area, there is the word "Debtor" written in black handwriting in a clumsy and thick font.
