The secret letter of the monk Yanqiu:

Dear Lord Gekett, thank you for your sponsorship and hosting of me. Yanqiu has nothing to repay, only to offer you loyalty and wisdom. During my time in Tanganes, I have truly experienced your sincerity. I recently heard that you are preparing for a war, and I hope you will give me this opportunity to offer your loyalty.

General Prapi Bolton has been stealthy as I suggested, and I have entered the Zamir territory in disguise to gather intelligence and prepare a strategic 'spell', the specific effect of which is to cover up the flow and perception of the so-called mana of the caster in this land on a large scale. General Bolton told me that you have other plans, but I can ensure that with my 'technique', part of your army will be able to strike directly into the heart of the Zamir.

If our plan is successful, our troops can be transported directly to Fort Longtala. I've heard that the advisor of the Zamir Territory is a shrewd wizard, but I have a strong sense of confidence that my 'magic' will not be discovered - the way the cultivators of the Qin'a Empire use 'magic' is not the same as the way they use mana in this land, and I think the way of cultivators is more sophisticated. Please await good news from me and Mr. Burton. In addition, I would like to remind you of the movement of Griffonheart, which is one of the objects we need to guard against in addition to running wolf.

There is a saying in our Qin'a Empire - "If the lips die, the teeth will be cold", which means that without lips, the teeth will feel cold. If we swallow most of the Running Wolves, the Griffons will not stand by, knowing that without the Running Wolves' control, the executioners will march from the Blood Plains to the Eagle's Nest and slit their throats.

Gekitt's reply:

Yanqiu Daoist, your loyalty is valuable, and I look forward to your 'technique' being successful. If you win this war, you will gain more status and power than ordinary people in Tangennes. Of course, I know that you are not obsessed with power. I promise you'll get a piece of territory and I'll pay for the lab to be built for you. You will be allowed to conduct research on 'that thing' and I will provide you with 100 slaves a year to use as your research materials.

But you don't need to worry too much about old Griffinhardt's movements, our spies in the Eagle's Nest have already reported to me about the physical condition of old Griffinhardt, the old guy is paralyzed, his time is short, little Griffinhardt will be attending this royal meeting, so you don't need to worry about Griffinhardt's movements at all, you just need to help Prapi defeat the running wolf. And I'd like to give you one more exciting news - I've secretly made a deal with Lady Brand, the Image-Dreaded Summoner, that you'll have the opportunity to work on 'that thing' with Miss Brand, but you want to promise me that it won't be leaked. Ms. Brand has transformed some of the 'angels' that Prapi will use in this war... Well, the scary soldier. 'Angels' seem to have some particular influence on women, and Ms. Brand can't avoid it, so I hope to get your attention.

"Miss Sindra, you're not comforting me, are you? What you say is true? Titas excitedly stood up from his chair and anxiously inquired to Camille.

"Mr. Dietas, I swear to the spirits of the ancestors that what I have said is true, and if there is any deception, I will be turned into a stone sculpture and sleep forever in the land of Elsa." Camille solemnly swore an oath.

"Miss Sindra, I trust you, but I can't use mana, can you tell me a little bit more about this soulmate?" Dietas unconsciously grabbed Ms. Stella's paw, and Stella let out an affectionate "purr" before licking the back of Dietas' hand.

"That's no problem at all, Mr. Dietas. The spirit of contract created by the magic of soul mate is not exactly the same as the spirit of contract of a normal wizard. Communication between ordinary contract spirits and the caster's master is mostly mana-driven. If the caster dies, her contract spirit will gradually degenerate into an animal spirit, although she will not lose the memory of the original owner, but the contract spirit whose master dies will lose most of its abilities, and can only maintain one or two boxes of special abilities, no different from a monster. The spirit of contract produced by the soulmate is more deeply bound to the master, and your communication can actually be completely independent of mana. ”

"However, Miss Sindra, Stella has not yet shown any strange abilities - except that she seems to have a long lifespan, but as far as I know, there are some rare species of powerful beasts or monsters, and they can also have a long lifespan." Titas asked, confused.

"Mr. Dietas, please don't be in a hurry, listen to me slowly. There is something special about the spirit of contract created by soul mates, and this spirit of contract needs to be activated. Camille threw out a new term, which Dietas had not heard, so he repeated the awkward term several times before pronouncing it.

"Gathering fire?"

"Activate."

"Rags?"

"Activate."

"Activate?"

"That's right, yes, activated. The spirit of contract produced by the soul mate is in a dormant state until it is activated, and its abilities are completely silent, and only a small part of its intelligence is revealed. The way to activate it is to find a specific event or scene. The scene of the caster and the castee's innermost desires will be the key to activation. However, the circumstances vary from person to person, but in general, the spirit of contract can be activated when the owner's wish is fulfilled or when he experiences an event that strongly stimulates him. So, can you tell me what your strongest desires and long-cherished desires are? Camille asked.

"Is it a long-cherished wish? . . . Dietas muttered, "My long-cherished wish, and perhaps to this day I will never forget my companions, I only hope that Brand can pay for it with blood." ”

Camille's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she realized that this was the perfect opportunity to befriend this brilliant hunter, and perhaps convince the mighty warrior to serve Zamir. However, Camille did not want to use deception, so she thought for a moment and said to Dietas: "Mr. Dietas, I don't want to deceive you, but if you want to hunt down Brand, I really can't help it, but the Donavan advisor of the Zmir Leader has pursued Brand three times, and although he did not catch the madman, the Donavan adviser thwarted Brand's plot three times, destroyed her laboratory, and injured the woman. If you are interested, you can come back to Zammir with me to meet with Donavan Advisors, and I can introduce you. ”

"Thank you for your candor, Miss Sindra, I have heard a small part of the story of Advisor Donawan, and I am honored to be there."
