Chapter 49: Bargaining
The cost of breaking a secret contract is terrible, so if you want to sign this contract, you must avoid the language traps involved.
After referring to the diary's opinion, no opinion, Thor decided to participate in Char's operation.
Seeing that Thor agreed to sign the contract, Julie hesitated for a while and expressed her willingness to participate.
In general, the interests between the three of them and Baidong College are not close.
Although Julie and Char are both honorary mentors of Baidong Academy, they do not have any research projects or promotion needs to be supported by Baidong Academy, so they can focus more on their task of being cleaners.
This is actually the fundamental reason why Char only summoned them.
This is something that Thor figured out when he and Char began to discuss the contents of the contract.
As for Jonah, who didn't come today.
Although he taught students at the academy, it was clear from the fact that he didn't care where he would conduct experiments, and his research mostly relied on himself and the magic crystal.
So Char wants to call Jonah today, too.
It's a pity that the latter didn't know what the reason was and didn't come.
It took a few people a moment to determine the contents of the contract.
You can't do it without constraints, and you can't restrict it too much, so that if you are not careful, you will break the contract.
When the terms of the contract were decided, and the three of Thor signed their names on it, they actually discussed a detailed plan to find the source of the pollution.
After making an initial plan, Char sent the two back to his villa. Then watch them leave.
Thor walked out of the academy, but did not immediately return home, and after wandering the streets for a while, he returned to Char's villa.
Char opened the door and found that it was Thor, not very surprised, but a little helpless.
"Julie just left, and you came on the back foot. I knew you were interested in that thing, but I really wouldn't sell it. ”
Saul smiled and said, "I just figured that Julie should have left before I came." ”
Char was stunned for a moment and pouted, "That's why I said that Julie was too stupid, and her actions were calculated by a newcomer casually." ”
"You can listen to my quote, and even if you're not satisfied, I can check the dream again for you for free."
"No, I have my own way to make sure the evil spirit is gone." Despite saying this, Char still got out of the way and let Thor in.
The two of them stood still in the living room.
"Although Julie's strength is average, she became an official wizard twenty years earlier than you, and she still has some good things in her hands. But I became an official wizard ten years before her, so I didn't like any of Juliet's conditions. However, Thor, you are from the Wizard Tower, and the Mentor is now a third-order ...... So I'd like to hear what you have to exchange. ”
Sure enough, the background of the Wizard Tower is still feared and envied.
However, although Thor is very interested in the spatial teleportation circle, he will not lose his mind.
"Before I quote, I need to know if your spatial teleportation circle has thoroughly mastered the formula for building the circle, or is it just using some kind of sorcery prop to place the circle directly in the designated location?"
When Char heard this, she was so surprised that she couldn't keep her mouth shut.
"Sometimes I really wonder if you have a listening technique in my place?" Char took two steps back and looked at the various corners in the room, "Or did you deliberately leave something in my house?" ”
"Of course not." Thor secretly hooked his fingers to let Penny, who was flying around the room, return to his spirit body, "This is just a reasonable speculation. ”
Char didn't believe it, but still looked up around him.
But of course he couldn't find anything.
"Well, it's actually the second one. I got a set of sorcery scrolls with this circle drawn on it, and I can place the space teleportation circle where I need it. ”
And so it was.
The reason why Thor had the above guess was because when he observed the witchcraft circle that Wizard Char had arranged, he found that the other party's magic circle talent was not particularly good.
When Sol was asleep, Char controlled his magic circle, and Sol was confident that it would be easy to break. It would be difficult for Char to build a spatial teleportation circle on his own.
So Thor guessed that there might be someone else or something else helping Char build the circle.
And with Char's personality, he shouldn't let others know his escape route.
"Well, you know what you want to know. So what do you want to exchange with me for a circle? ”
"If it wasn't necessary, Wizard Char would have been acting on his own, right?" Thor suddenly said something that seemed unrelated.
Char was stunned for a moment, frowned and said impatiently, "Of course, I'm not sure if my companion will betray me." ”
"But there are a lot of inconveniences when you act alone, and there are some simple but risky actions that you need to do yourself. In this case, you may just give up, resulting in a direct loss of possible gains. ”
Char said as if he didn't care, "Compared to life, a little gain is nothing." ”
"But wouldn't it be better if there was a way for you to have complete control over someone to do things for you, to control their life and death, without worrying about betrayal? He can even help you fend off danger. ”
Char's eyes lit up a little, "You, do you know what kind of mind control technique?" ”
"The witchcraft that controls people's hearts is at least something that can only be done by second-order wizards. However, with parasitic sorcery similar to mine, the parasitic can be completely under your command, and life and death are in your hands. ”
Char was visibly moved, his hand resting on his chin, thinking earnestly.
"I know that Wizard Char used to avoid danger in the past, but you can really try to take the initiative to test the danger and then consider whether to avoid it or solve the problem."
"Char, we are wizards, if wizards only think about avoiding them, sooner or later they will be found by the backlash of knowledge." Thor said in a low voice of demism.
In the wizarding world, danger is always hidden in the unknown, and if you blindly stagnate, you will be dragged into the abyss of danger by an invisible hand.
If you only think about safety, don't be a wizard.
This phrase applies to wizard apprentices as well as to formal wizards.
After a few more words of persuasion, Char finally agreed to the exchange.
However, the terms of his exchange were......
"You give me the parasitic sorcery, and I will set up a spatial teleportation circle in the place you specified."
The smile on Thor's face disappeared, "Do you think that if I tell you where the circle is arranged, this circle can still serve a hidden role?" ”
"But I can't give you the scroll directly. I'd rather have the ability to run away than to take the initiative! Char held his chest up and didn't intend to back down in the slightest.
"That doesn't seem to be a matter of discussion." Thor turned and gestured to walk out.
"Wait a minute!" Char still stopped Thor.
He struggled for a moment and came up with a new idea.
"In addition to setting up a teleportation circle for you, I can lend you the scroll to transcribe for three hours."
Thor asked directly, "Is there a masking circle on the scroll?" ”
"Yes, but if you have a strong talent in the circle, you can calculate the original circle by peeling off the mask circle yourself."
Thor sneered, "It's easy to say, but it's hard to even make an accurate transcription in three hours." Borrow me for at least three days. ”
"That's not going to work!" Char raised her voice, but immediately lowered it, "At most, at most a day, and you can only transcribe it from me." You don't have to talk about the conditions, just say you don't agree, right? ”
Thor pondered for three minutes this time, "If the circle is drawn incorrectly, is it possible for me to die if I go in and teleport?" ”
Char nodded, "Of course, there is a high probability that it will be directly torn apart by the spatial rift, and there is a small probability of falling into some unknown place, and it is almost impossible to reach the other end." ”
"It's dangerous." Thor lowered his head, "Okay, I agreed, let's start transcribing now." ”
Char's muscles twitched, suppressing the corners of his mouth that were about to rise, "Okay, let's go to the room last time, I'll stand in the defensive circle and open the scroll, you can only observe outside, you can't come in, otherwise I'll kick you out of the room." ”
"Humph!" Thor was a little dissatisfied, and snorted lightly.
But his attention was instead on the diary in the spirit body.
"Diary man, I haven't bothered you for a long time. But you see, the spatial teleportation circle is too dangerous. You don't want me to ...... when I'm teleporting Broken up, right? ”
Hopefully, work and rest will return to normal.
