Chapter 244: Opportunity
Ryan and the others sat around in the study. A new table was set up in front of them, and Emma quietly withdrew after placing two glasses of water and a glass of Bordeaux wine on the table. After Ryan waited for Emma to leave, he casually arranged a few more magic enchantments to completely isolate the surroundings.
Galib took a sip of the water glass and said with a smile, "What, you have made up your mind?"
"Yes, but until then, I'd like your approval. Ryan nodded and replied, "It's all about being sure!"
Faras was confused, but she knew that Ryan would definitely tell her the specific truth when he called him, and there was no need to interject at this time, so she sat on the side and took the glass of Bordeaux wine and tasted it slowly.
Galib rubbed his nose, this action rarely appeared on his body, indicating that Galib was also a little uncertain in his heart now. After a few seconds or so, Galib spoke, "You know, I was a member of the dragon family, but for some reason I was banished and never reverted to dragon form. It was an unbearable period of time, and the adult dragon clan who had lost their strength had to dodge and retreat even if they encountered a level 6 demonic beast, hehe!"
"In order to protect myself, I still chose to integrate into the human world, and after hundreds of years of wandering, I finally slowly adapted to the current situation, and my strength has recovered to a level that is enough to protect myself. From that moment on, I was ready to find another path to power. Galib's face was covered with vicissitudes, and it was clear that he had fallen into the memories of the past.
"The old guys who sealed my power in the dragon clan, I thought to myself that it was impossible to beat them, so naturally I no longer thought about how to forcibly break this seal, then my only hope is to reach the legendary realm in human form as soon as possible. In the beginning, I tried to take some detours, hoping to use certain rituals to open up shortcuts, such as letting Adela borrow your powers, or the equal contract that you were about to use, which can indeed play a great role in certain situations and conditions, but they also have their own weaknesses. β
Galib said this, pausing, he turned his gaze to Faras, and saw a puzzled look on the latter's face, apparently Faras was pondering what this so-called equal contract meant. Galibha laughed, banged on the table and said: "The so-called equal contract is actually to combine the strength of two people into one, and then distribute them equally, in a sense, this is a means of slow suicide, because once the contract is established, any signatory who wants to increase his strength must spend twice as much effort." After stepping into the legend, it is a long process to improve the strength itself, and the legendary powerhouse who signs this contract will have to double this terrifying process! Although after stepping into the legend, his lifespan will break through the limitations of the race itself, and there will be a large increase, but the range of this improvement will not be extended several times......
When Galib said this, he stopped talking, but his meaning made Ryan and Faras next to him very clear, it was obvious that under normal circumstances, the increase in lifespan could not offset the extra time spent after signing this contract, which was equivalent to making it difficult for the legendary powerhouse after signing the contract to improve his strength, and this huge price was of course heavy, so Faras hurriedly said: "No, I am against ......"
Ryan's big hand gently covered Faraz's small mouth, blocking the next sentence she was about to say, and then Ryan's voice reached Faraz's ears: "Fani, don't refuse, this is the only thing I can do for you." As for strength, haha, Fani, have you forgotten that my strength is fundamentally different?
Farass was moved, a hazy mist appeared in his eyes, although Ryan said it soundly, but Farath still knew very well that there were about nine points in it to comfort herself, and there was only one point of hope left, although there was hope better than no hope, but Farath still didn't want to affect Ryan's future because of herself, so she gently reached out and pulled away Ryan's big hand covering herself, and said, "But ......"
"Fani, I'm not trying to comfort you with a smile, think about it, what is my biggest shortcoming right now?" Ryan smiled slightly, he had already thought of an excuse to convince Faraz for this day, and now it came in handy.
"Your shortcomings?" Faras thought sideways, wondering if it was because Ryan's decision was so shocking to her, her whole mind was completely chaotic, and she couldn't even think of anything for a while.
Seeing Faras's appearance, Ryan chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you." I've been on adventures since the day I was exposed to magic. Compared to those real great magicians, what I lack is the foundation, the foundation! Fani, although my offensive methods and protective means are very direct and effective, they are extremely single!"
Ryan said in a word, and Farass "Ah" She actually stood up from the chair, and she didn't need Ryan to continue, she had already understood what Ryan's biggest shortcoming was now, because of the lack of basic accumulation of the system, Ryan's means of fighting the enemy were very simple, and this problem had appeared from the beginning, and Ryan could always play to his own advantages, so it hadn't really been revealed until now, but looking back at the limited failures of Ryan's life, you can see this very clearly.
This deficiency was not very obvious before, and even now it is not obvious, as long as Ryan stays in this plane, basically any enemy can use an unlimited number of low-level magic to forcibly destroy, but what if Ryan encounters a more powerful existence? For example, the demigod lich hiding in the other world, or the Eye Demon Tyrant who is so powerful that even the demigod lich is afraid of it, the Mother of Herest, Prince Mossalzfeller and other characters, now that the Tiflin have invaded here, the Naga people are also ready to move in the distance, and the undead legion is even more in the shadows, if Ryan doesn't quickly solve the problems caused by his rapid increase in strength, maybe the next legendary duel will be when he falls, from this point of view, Ryan's intention to sign an equal contract with Faraz may not be pure giving, he can also take this opportunity to wait from Faraz to what he currently lacks the most, and what he dreams of the mostγ
Thinking of this, Faraz's heart no longer resisted Ryan's proposal, although she still knew very well that the benefits she had obtained in this contract far exceeded Ryan's, because the latter's benefits were only expected, unlike Faras's almost certain achievement, and the difficulty gap between the two could be easily discerned by a human with mental growth.
"Fani, you've inherited Teacher Dranay's Guardian of the Earth, and you've acquired almost all of the magical foundations under the legend, which I lack the most at the moment. Aside from that, Fani, you were willing to inherit this power for my sake, giving up your qualifications to advance to the Legend in the future, and now that I have the ability to change all this, do you rarely want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life because of this matter?" Ryan said softly, "Fani, don't reject me, as if you didn't reject my marriage proposal in the first place. β
"Nasty!" Although she has been married to Ryan for a long time, Farath's face is still a little shy, she pinched Ryan's ribs a few times, and then lowered her head with a red face, which was considered to be a tacit approval of Ryan's words. Seeing Faras's shy appearance, Ryan reached out and grabbed her little hand, and the two fingers intersected, silently experiencing the warm feeling.
After a while, the two of them remembered that there was another person next to them, so they quickly parted their intertwined fingers, but saw that Galib had hidden in the corner of the study at some point, and he was looking at an old book in his hand, and he was reading it with relish. After feeling Ryan and Faras set their eyes on him together, Galib stretched comfortably, and then pointed to the book in his hand and said, "I thought I could finish reading it, why don't you continue?"
Galib's ridicule suddenly made Ryan and Faraz's faces fly red, and the two of them lowered their heads embarrassedly, seeing the appearance of Ryan and his wife, Galib laughed a few times, and then said with a straight face: "Okay, don't joke anymore, since you have made up your mind, then you can start." Come, let me explain the whole process of the ritual in detail, you also have to remember the incantation you have to recite during the ritual, this ritual is permanent, even if you have the opportunity to become a new god in the future, this contract will also be valid......."
As Galib said, the signing ceremony of this equal contract was indeed very long, and the magic spells to be used in it made Ryan and Farath spend a lot of effort to memorize them, and some of the most critical magic spells were very awkward, which did not sound like the language of any race in this plane, Ryan asked casually, but was gently brought by Galib, so he didn't ask anymore.
For seven days in a row, neither Ryan nor Faras stepped out of the study, during which only Galib came out, and hurried back with a few casual commands. Alendor had long known Ryan's determination, and he decisively took on the task of becoming the acting lord of Cassano once again during Ryan's absence.
The Tiflin people's attacks are intermittent, but they have not really stopped, in the more than half a month after Ryan returned to Cassano, the legendary powerhouses of the Tieflin people will appear on the battlefield of Cassano every few days, but because the number of people who appear each time is very small, it cannot cause devastating damage to Cassano, but gives Allendo and others more opportunities to fight. Barbara's tacit understanding between them and their contract companions has become more and more proficient, even the worst Barbara, with the magic dagger "Snake Kiss" made for her by her teacher Ryan, personally killed a seriously injured Tieflin powerhouse, the terrifying poison hidden in the dagger from the human-faced spider queen actually made the body of the strong Tieflin legendary powerhouse rot into a pile of green water in just a few minutes, and Wallace and other dragon clan members were also jealous.
