The Magic Contract is a dark yellow piece of parchment that feels smooth to the touch, like a fine silk handkerchief. At the moment of touching, lines of magical words gradually appeared, and a few lines of crooked magical words formed short words.

"The conditions and the demands paid are quite reasonable, basically there is no problem, and I can agree to it now." Grant looked down from above seriously, and after making sure that he would not be clamped, he bit his fingers with his teeth and pulled the blood to the six-pointed star angle array in the lower left corner through his mental power.

"Buzz!"

The blood-stained six-pointed star horn array suddenly flashed with a dazzling light, and the entire paper seemed to be shredded by an invisible wind, and the debris was scattered in the air, and then a burst of golden flames swept by and turned into ashes and annihilated.

"The Magic Pact is in effect!"

Grant closed his eyes and felt a powerful wave enveloping him, knowing that he needed to fulfill his obligations.

Contents of the contract: Bring Melio's daughter Martha from the mage cluster to Melio's side within four years, and if Melio dies, the contract will be terminated.

"Hehe, this contract is good for both of us. All you need to do is go back to the mage cluster and call your teacher, help you go to the Shadow Academy to activate the True Detection Eye, and search for the area of the mage cluster, I think your teacher can easily handle this request. ”

Melio's wrinkled cheeks were slightly reddened, his eyes were filled with a look of satisfaction, and the circle of horns on his slightly pointed chin was more and more upturned.

He gracefully picked up the crystal wine glass placed next to him, poured a glass of bright red wine from the bottle, and drank it gently. Melio got it done. I am happy both on the outside and on the inside.

Grant chuckled, his eyes narrowing slightly in thought of something. He knew that the requirements for activating the Shadow Academy's exploration of the Great Demon Eye of True Knowledge were divided into two points. One is to have a shadow badge, and the other is to have the strength to reach a second-order mage.

Although Grant knows which city Martha's location is in. But the exact location is not clear. Therefore, it is necessary to start the exploration of the Great Magic Eye of True Knowledge. However, four years can allow him to raise his level to level above twenty and become a second-order mage, and it is precisely because he is sure that Grant will agree. Otherwise, with his character, it would naturally be impossible to sign a magic contract.

After a brief exchange of words between Grant and Melio, the whole luncheon went about the same. Melio summoned some dessert and sat down at the table to savor it.

Melio nibbled on a piece of dessert that looked like peanut candy, and after making a crunchy sound, he said slowly, "Master Grant." I've heard that your Baron of Wanghuo City has lost its territory, and if you need it, I can help you find a good place with my connections, do you need it? ”

"Oh?" Grant's eyes were crescent-shaped, and a ray of essence flashed through them.

Grant knew that Melio's request was nothing more than to find a place to monitor the group of people who had a relationship with him in Wanghuo City, after all, more certainty and weakness would always add a little security. Creatures like mages have always disliked gambling too much, and tend to have back-ups.

But Grant doesn't care.

"Since Master Melio said it. Then I also have a place I want, which I haven't decided yet, but I can say that that place is Black Pine City. ”

"Black Pine City?" Melio was surprised. His eyes stared at Grant suspiciously: "Although that place belongs to the territory of the viscount level, it is far away from Bliss City, and it is a remote place. The abundance of black pine trees growing on both sides is not very suitable for settlement. With my connections, you can be bold enough to help them find a thriving territory around Briss City. ”

Grant shook his head. said that he politely refused, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "I'm just a small request." In the end, it was not decided, and I will tell His Excellency the Mage when I return to the manor to discuss. ”

"If that's the case, then I'll wait quietly." Melio smiled.

"Yes." Grande head.

Grant stood up suddenly, bowed slightly, and said, "I had a good meal, so I'll go back first, and I'll come to say hello to you before I leave Bliss City." ”

"Gone so soon? It's also a good idea to stop a little longer and talk about some magical knowledge. ”

"My friends are still waiting for me." Grant smiled politely, but in his heart he didn't want to stay in this place for a second longer, after all, if he got along with Melio for a long time, he might reveal some of his details. Besides, Grant will be seriously unaccustomed to standing with a lifeform that is so strong that it can kill him in seconds.

"In this way, I can't keep you, you can go first, but I'll give you the communication charm first, and you can contact me if you have something in the future." Melio drew a few red light runes with his fingertips in mid-air, and with a clapping of his hands, the runes flew to Grant's right arm, turning into a red tattoo, and Melio continued to speak: "Give me yours by the way, so that we can communicate conveniently." ”

The corners of Grant's mouth twitched twice, the void rune, this method is only available to formal mages and above, and this kind of transmission and communication consumes the energy of the body very much, and the original scavengers used communication crystals for short-distance communication.

Grant smiled speechlessly, and said with a smile: "No, anyway, it's okay to have yours, and mine is also redundant, after all, this kind of rune is only twenty positions for everyone, and it's not a good habit to waste more often." ”

"Whatever. Someone will take you back to the manor below. Melio didn't notice Grant's stiff pause for a moment, and after laughing absently, he put away the dishes on the long table.

"Gone." Grant put his hands back into his robes, and he left the mage building in a black robe.

…………

Tranquil manor, warm sunlight shining on the emerald green lawn.

Two soldiers in gray leather armor were snuggling together, clutching their cross-swords and dozing off. They hadn't felt a quiet and warm environment for a long time, and they had been exhausted from fighting in Wanghuo City before, and they hadn't fully adapted to it even in the past two days.

Their hearts are like a string tightened, always on alert.

"Crunch ~~~"

The black iron fence suddenly sounded, and the sound of metal creaking and grinding was transmitted to all around.

"Who?"

The two soldiers woke up instantly, suddenly opened their eyes, and a chill spread on both sides, and their whole bodies were tense as if they reflexively picked up their long swords and stared at the door, but when they saw the two figures clearly, their faces changed suddenly, and they knelt on the ground excitedly and respectfully, and said loudly: "See the baron, participate in the mage." ”

"Looks like you're doing well." The man with messy blond hair said, his eyes sunken deeply, a blood-red scar on the left side of his emaciated cheek, and a silver shiny armor all over his body was badly damaged, and many of the chains had broken a hole.

An old man in a white robe stood next to him, his narrow and tired eyes looked around the scene in the manor, his golden blue eyes showed a hint of relief, and the corners of his lips quietly hooked an upward arc.

They were the scavengers and Alberts who rushed to Briss City, and after a long time of fighting and fighting, they finally brought the remaining refugees from Prosperous Fire City to the outside of Briss City. It's just that the city rules of Briss City can't accommodate a large number of refugees, so they can only provide some food and drink.

Now they need to find another territory, and then after a little rest and preparation, they need to rush there.

"What about Corion? Why is there no one in this whole estate? Albert asked in a nervous tone, he was afraid that the loss of manpower this time would be too large, and the vitality of the city would be greatly damaged.

The frightened soldier realized that the baron had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "They just went out to buy a batch of things, this time Miss Emir, the little master, and the two mages are all fine, and we have come to the steel barrier (Briss City) in relatively good condition." ”

Albert nodded reassuringly.

"Calling for someone to assemble, I need to quickly make a territorial plan. Call Mage Hyland, Mage Grant and my daughter, and Corion, I think you should know where they are. ”

"Yes, Baron. We're up to the task. The two soldiers bent down and gave a soldier's salute, and quickly opened their calves and ran out of the manor, today the Emir and Fran and the important high-ranking people went out, and they seemed to have their own goals, only they stayed in the manor, in charge of guarding.

The scavenger glanced sideways at the departing soldiers, and said worriedly: "Albert, your money is not enough to buy the original territory, I know that the reserve funds of the Hanmo family have become more and more abundant in the past few decades, and even found an iron vein." But this time, more than 10,000 refugees died, nearly 2,000 soldiers also lost a lot, and their families needed to be resettled. ”

"Yes, but there is no way. I can only take one step at a time, it doesn't matter if this territory is smaller, I can develop it slowly, but what do you plan to do in the future, master? ”

"Me?" The scavenger shook his head helplessly and as if relieved: "This battle has made it clear to me that I enjoy the stability of ordinary people too much, and the qualities that some mages must have have long since faded. I've lived for nearly a hundred years, and I'm not too far from death, so I'm just going to join you. If you have time, you can travel to other kingdoms of humanity and see different human geographies and cultures. ”

Albert smiled, pointed to the pale yellow two-storey building, and said, "Let's go to the room and rest for a while, and when they are all close, we will find a way to ask them what they think of this territory." ”

…………

On a gray street filled with people, rows of poplar trees grow on both sides.

A red carriage was particularly attractive, with a flaming red badge emblazoned on either side of the cart, a small flaming bird with a symbol in the bird's eye, representing the most powerful mage in Bliss City.

Many people's eyes were on the carriage, but Grant didn't feel anything, he looked through the curtain in the direction of the slave city from afar, and his eyes flashed with a fiery look.

The corners of his mouth smiled lightly: "Half-dragon man Lei Fei, you must be mine!" (To be continued.) )
