Section 126 Partners with Different Hearts (II)
"I think there are a lot of fish that smell it. Solomon sighed.
From Leonis's rambling description, Solomon knew more information, after all, Leonis successfully infiltrated the mission of the Mogul merchant group before the three of them, and the ones in front of him were also earlier than him, and there was also Titania Military Minister Jismo behind her to provide her with advance information.
The Mogul Merchants' exploration of the Fadel Plane this time not only attracted the attention of the Rose Bank, but also the vampires used some means to spy on the true purpose of the Mogul Merchants, thus suspecting that it was related to the Black Rock Vein.
Count Jismo, the military undersecretary of Titania, was also suspicious because the Mogur Merchant Group ordered a large number of weapons and armor from military-related suppliers in order to expand the private army, so he sent Leonis to recruit the Mogul Merchant Group to spy on the recruitment of high-level professionals.
It only needs to be confirmed that the Fadell plane that the Mogul merchant group is developing is indeed rich in black rock reserves, and Jismo and even His Royal Highness Tristan, the great prince behind him, will unceremoniously make a proposal to His Majesty the Emperor Xià and take over the development of the Fadell plane in the name of the empire.
And this is exactly what the Mogul merchant group wants to avoid, at first the Mogul merchant group must have wanted to be alone, but with the development, as the Fadelmana Temple appeared invaders and attacked, the Mogul merchant group quickly realized that this was not a black iron plane, it was not something they could eat with just one merchant group, and not everyone had the same luck as Solomon.
So they quickly caught up with the second prince Garon, who coincided with them and was willing to support the Mogul merchant group to gain a foothold in Fadel.
Garon and Gismo's plan for the Fadel plane is to take control of an area where the Black Rock Veins have been explored through the hands of the Mogul merchants. For example, the area near the current fort. Then His Royal Highness the Second Prince took the initiative to report to the emperor. The Titanian Empire was fully involved in the development of Fadel.
In this way, as the Empire monopolized the development of Fadel, and the development continued to succeed, Garon's merit and prestige would rise, and he would be favored by the Emperor.
It stands to reason that even if he can't be in charge of the affairs of the empire to Fadell alone, but if he takes the initiative to report and develop in advance, His Royal Highness Garon will get a great deal of power and influence in the development, and the Mogul merchant group is an important participant in the early development. With the advantage of being first, it is impossible for the empire not to make good use of it, and it also avoids the danger of being kicked out, and can share part of the dividends of development.
However, if the empire wants to intervene directly, it must be able to confirm that the Fadel plane is really worthy of the value of the empire's royal power, and it is best to have some evidence, otherwise all countries are now encouraging trade, and the status of merchants has been significantly improved, and rashly depriving merchants of their rights and interests by power will cause extremely adverse effects. So be very cautious.
That's why Leonis was sent to infiltrate, hoping to confirm that the Fadell plane was indeed rich in black rock. In this way, the eldest prince can act as a direct witness, and the empire can intervene on the grounds that it is related to the interests of the empire, so as to avoid causing a backlash from the Mogul merchant group and a general panic among the merchants.
And it was not only Titania that became interested in the development of the Mogul merchant group this time, just as the Rose Bank provided information to its allies, which attracted Solomon's personal investigation, and other countries also took action.
Solomon had suspicions about Giffres, but could not confirm it, and Leonis also suspected that this man had come to spy on Mordo.
Compared to Giffres, he can only suspect that the dead Cherki has been seen through by Leonis, and he is in the service of the Aurora Empire.
After Asturias first began to use black rock, other countries also became interested in black rock and began to study it.
Except for the Saxon kingdom, which was too deeply influenced by the Church of Light and had greater constraints on investment in this area, the other countries were very active, but they were limited by the reserves of Black Rock, unlike the Asturians who had found rich reserves, which could support the current exhibition while conducting more in-depth research.
Cherky had a similar purpose to Leonis, and after arriving in Fadel, she couldn't wait to take action, and was noticed by Leonis, so she kept spying on Cherki.
It is about the rougher style of the Aurora Kingdom, which is said to have not only a royal family with some orc blood, but even a quarter of the country's people have orc blood.
Cherki was also aware that there was no way to get useful clues in the fortress without attracting the attention of the Mogul merchants, and he took the method that Solomon had thought of but was prepared to use only as a last resort.
Before finding this vein, Cherki took it by surprise and attacked the auxiliary camp of the Fadel coalition army, where many of the nearby natives who were willing to serve the coalition army and defeat the invaders were gathered.
Cherki attacked one of them directly, and although he alarmed the aboriginal army, he managed to escape and abduct several villagers.
Cherki's luck was quite good, two of the villagers he robbed were father and son, and it just so happened that the father of the father and son had been forced to mine by the guards of the Mogul merchant group, but later escaped with the arrival of the temple coalition army, but now he was caught by Cherki.
Although he did not understand the language, under the threat of torture and his son's life, the aboriginal father "understood" Cherki's meaning in fear and pain, and pointed him out the general direction of the vein, and then the abducted villagers were all killed by Cherki.
Although Cherki was arrogant, he found the location of the vein before Solomon.
Leonis has been paying attention to Cherki's actions, seeing that Cherki succeeded, and realized that he was a spy sent by another country, she simply attacked him ruthlessly, but she was also overconfident, and was counterattacked by Cherki, and almost capsized in the gutter.
In fact, if it weren't for Solomon's subsequent appearance and killing Cherki, Cherki would have been severely injured by Leonis, but with the success of the counterattack, he would still have won the final victory, leaving Leonis to die a humiliating death.
In addition to giving information about Cherki, Leonis also provides a lot of useful information, such as suspicions about Giffres.
Others. Leonis had also secretly noticed. With her "professional" eye and extensive experience. Itir, Chebman, and Elaine seem to have a simple purpose, as if they really just accepted the employment of the Mogul merchant group.
Solomon and Leonis were also slightly suspicious, but due to the short time for the three to join in, Solomon brought another Agatha, who came purely with the hope of a romantic trip, but instead alleviated Leonis's suspicion of the three of them on a certain number of Cheng dù, at least the important Cheng dù was listed after Cherki.
To stay alive. For the information on the side of the Grand Prince of Titania, Leonis also explained a lot, although it cannot be verified for a while, but there will always be opportunities in the future.
However, she doesn't know much, because she is just a pawn of Gismo, but she has a certain amount of sex by relying on the skills of a high-level professional, but she is still only a high-level role, and she can't really get in touch with the core of the great prince Tristan.
After saying all this, Leonis's breath became weaker and weaker. Cherki's counterattack is very dangerous for the mage and shooters like Leonis, who are a little better. Being able to become a high-level mage with a magic touch on his body is an effective means of saving his life when attacked by enemies of the same level, and a shooter like Leonis can rely on agility the most, followed by fighting spirit that is good for offense but not for defense.
But she was too careless when she was attacked, and when she identified the Black Rock Vein, the location was the entrance to the mine, the place was too narrow, and the agility that she was usually proud of was greatly limited, and after the fighting spirit was broken, if she hadn't blocked her in front of her with her own weapon in time, she might have been killed on the spot.
Even so, her legendary weapon, the Burst Bar, has been deformed, and without some repair, its power will drop a lot.
"I have nothing to hide from you, and I am willing to serve you in the future, please do not leave me here. Leonis smiled, her current state, even if Solomon doesn't kill her, she is in a certain danger, this is the wilderness, she can't even move under the heavy blow, and there is a great hidden danger, Cherky directly attacked the aborigines' auxiliary barracks in a very brutal way, which will definitely cause the aborigines to search, in case they find here, the aborigines don't know anything about Black Rock, but Leonis will definitely be caught.
"Serve me?" Solomon smiled meaningfully, then took out a magic contract from his hand and said leisurely: "You sue me, and you yourself do have a little value, but if you want to live, then sign this contract." ”
The contract fell in front of Leonis, and after she saw the contents and constraints on it, her face couldn't help but turn pale again.
It was a magical contract comparable to a servant-nature summoning beast, with the only difference being that she didn't need to stay in Solomon's summoning seal.
But the terms in it, if she agreed, would be to sell herself to the point where she was inferior to a meat urinal, and dedicate her whole body and mind to Solomon.
Although she can still maintain a certain amount of self, she must not disobey her master's requirements at all, otherwise she will be subjected to extremely terrible backlash and punishment.
This kind of servant-type magic contract is slightly different from the summoning contract, which is the surrender from the body to the mind after subduing the demonic beasts, and the summoning contract not only controls them, but also strengthens the spiritual connection between the summoned beast and the summoner.
Magical contracts, on the other hand, rely on a certain amount of strong deterrence or backlash. Punishment to make the slave obey the master's orders, magic contracts are more suitable for highly intelligent creatures, they are not easy to surrender completely, always want to keep spiritual, using summoning contracts is counterproductive, even if the coercion is successful, it will damage their spirituality, resulting in a decrease in combat effectiveness, but with magic contracts, you can maintain the most complete combat power of high-level professionals like Leonis, as long as she can't resist the deterrence in the contract, or the cost of resistance is too big for her to bear, she can only give in.
As long as the magic contract is not invalidated or broken, Solomon in the position of the master can torture and even kill Leonis by both mental and physical means, and this effect and deterrence depends on the most critical "justice" in the contract, which can be the owner of the contract himself, or more a god or an extremely powerful magical beast.
According to the principles of magic, part of the essence of the magical contract is the formation of non-eternal and unchanging laws between the master, the slave and the "just", and this temporary legal relationship gives the master the power to suppress the slave (simply put, if water overcomes fire, after the contract takes effect, the nature of any power of the slave becomes fire in the face of the master). And the master any power is water. Produces a unilateral natural pressing effect. But this effect does not occur outside the owner, which is the law effect of the contract).
In the legal relationship formed by the most powerful magical contract, in addition to the favorable conditions for the master and the formation of a restrained power advantage, the more important thing is the deterrence of the just.
In the formation of this law, the contrast of power between master and slave is only a secondary influence, and the main thing is that the power of the just will be the key in the relationship between the law. If the master thinks of himself as the just, some of the privileges of the master and the just in the legal relationship will coincide. For example, when a slave tries to rebel against the fundamental relationship of the contract (a slight rebellion against the master is not a rebellion against the contract itself, unless the contract stipulates that the slave cannot rebel against the master in any way, and the fundamental relationship of rebellion against the contract refers to the fact that the slave has a specific action to break the magical contract, that is, to destroy the contract law relationship).
The just person in the contract will be formed by the contract, and the power of the just person can appear around the slave in any space that the just person has been to or is known. This means that if the slave does not have the absolute power to resist the just, he will be judged justly.
What really binds the slave is the power and consequences of these kinds of law relationships, and most magical contracts have a god who is much more powerful than themselves or a powerful creature comparable to a god as the justice of it, and it really goes to this point. and how to resist those who have won justice.
Therefore, it is conceivable how difficult it is to crack the magic contract, and the more advanced the magic contract. To completely crack it, it is almost equivalent to confronting the righteous gods in the contract.
Powerful gods or creatures are often willing to act as justice, and when a contract is signed, it is equivalent to a "master" and a "slave" Contribute two equal parts of the faith power of the pan-believer (but the contractor will not become a believer in the god or creature because of this), the greater benefit is that if the slave needs to accept the judgment of the just person and die because he rebels against the fundamental relationship of the contract, his life energy belongs to the just person as the fair person should be rewarded, in addition to this, there are additional benefits that are not stipulated in the contract, such as if the just person pursues an unknown plane or territory because he wants to rule on the slave who violates the contract, then the slave is equivalent to a locator, although this pursuit may be disturbed by the powerful plane law and is a temporary plane channel, but it can also help the god or creature speed up the process of breaking down the barrier to the plane.
And any unknown plane falling into the eyes of a god who needs to be believed in is like a salesperson seeing a big market that has not yet opened.
The contract that Solomon gave to Leonis is already a high contract, and the low contract only gives the master the natural power to suppress, and the high contract has a just one. The god of justice in this contract is the most common in Keos, but the most common is not the same as the big road character, but the lord of order and justice among the gods of the heavenly realm, Iglesias.
If Leonis signs this contract, she has almost no chance of turning over, because no matter how strong she is, she cannot be a match for the Lord of Order and Justice.
But she didn't have a choice, because the threat of death was imminent, and if she didn't sign this magic contract, Solomon couldn't take her with him with confidence, so she had to send her to see Cherki now.
"I am willing to be your slave. Leonis heard her own bitter voice, and she tried to put her finger to her mouth, trying to bite it, but I don't know if it was because of fear, or because she was so weak that she couldn't bite it for a while.
"I'll help you. Seeing her wolf bèi, Solomon took out an intermediate healing scroll from her body, this kind of magic scroll is more precious than the intermediate healing scroll, because in addition to the effect of healing injuries, it also has the effect of calming the mind and helping the spirit and magic to recover, Solomon also has the opportunity to buy it because of the closer relationship with the Magicians Guild now, the magic academy only has intermediate healing scrolls, and there is no such scroll, this adventure, of course, Solomon needs to bring some on his body, in case of emergency.
A strong aura of life enveloped Leonis, and the injuries on her body were immediately relieved, and although they did not get better immediately, they did not deteriorate any longer, and then began to recover in a slow manner.
This made her regain some strength, no longer hesitate to bite her fingers, under the guidance of the spirit, her spiritual seal fused with the blood, a drop of blood containing her spiritual will dripped on the magic contract, instantly like water vapor, but at the same time condensed a lifelike biological imprint on it.
After Solomon completed this series of actions, the magic contract burst into light and began to take effect.
"Okay, you'll be your own person from now on. Solomon was satisfied, saying that such a result was much more cost-effective than killing Leonis.
Leonis smiled wryly, with this magical contract, it meant that she had completely betrayed Gismo and the Grand Prince Tristan, unless they had a way to help her suffer the consequences of breaking the contract, but even if they did have this power, it was impossible to consume it for her.
"Master, what shall I call you?"
Solomon glanced at her and understood the meaning of her words, not only by title, but also by disguised desire to know who the person who had accused her now was, and who she would serve in the future.
"I'm from Asturias and I'm Solomon. (To be continued!)
