Chapter 262: Chapter 209:
In the dark cabin, looking at the contract on the wooden table, Athir was still discussing with Korula.
However, neither Korula nor Jim showed any surprise at this scene.
This is actually the pre-process for signing a contract. Wizards are extremely sensitive and cautious about contracts, and bargaining is inevitable before signing a contract. Not to mention that most of the members of the Dark Wizard Alliance are still a group of dark wizards, who are even more resistant to the constraints of the contract.
For this kind of bargaining behavior, as long as the main terms of the contract remain unchanged, the rest of the things can be negotiated slowly as long as they do not interfere with the main content.
The discussion lasted for more than an hour before the two sides reached a preliminary agreement.
The mental force vibrated gently around him. Korula took the parchment in his hand and injected a stream of magic power into it.
A faint light slowly emanated, and under Athir's gaze, the parchment in front of him began to glow continuously. Every word on it exuded an inexplicable glow, which was extremely conspicuous in the dark wooden house.
"Put your spiritual power into it."
Placing the contract in his hand on the wooden table, Korula spoke.
Nodding slightly, Athir picked up the parchment on the wooden table and tried to inject a trace of mental power into it.
The process was completed quickly. After recording the mental frequency of the person who signed the contract, Athir's task was completed.
"In the name of the world... the contract is established." In front of him, Korula exuded a unique aura, and then an inexplicable force was lured here.
Atier felt his whole body sink. A force suddenly appeared, hovering in his sea of consciousness, and then disappeared.
This is the price of signing the contract.
Unlike the mortals in the previous life, the contracts in the wizarding world are much more important. Once violated, the consequences will be very serious.
This is also the research result of ancient wizards.
In ancient times, wizards conquered endless worlds, studied the power of different worlds, and passed them down. The contracts used in the wizard world today are one of the research results of wizards in ancient times.
The essence of this contract is actually to use the unique world power of the wizarding world, through rituals, spells and other magic, to let the world power witness the contract.
Once the contract is violated, the power of the mysterious world will backfire on the contractor, causing varying degrees of losses.
Take Athir for example. If he violates the contract now, the power contained in his spiritual sea will automatically backfire and cause varying degrees of damage to his spiritual sea.
This kind of loss depends on the power seduced when the contract is signed. The maximum loss can be that the wizard's spiritual sea is completely destroyed and he is directly reduced to a mortal.
Of course, the contract under Athir is far from this extent. Even if Athir violates the contract, the power of seduction cannot destroy his sea of consciousness. At most, it can only cause permanent damage to the solidified spell crystals, which greatly reduces the chances of Athir's promotion to a second-level wizard in the future.
But for most wizards, this consequence is serious enough.
"Although we didn't get the best result, it's pretty good to be able to get to where we are now."
Sitting on the wooden chair, feeling the extra power in his spiritual sea, Athir sighed in his heart.
The reason he came here this time was naturally to find a way out for himself.
Judging from the current situation, the Jade Hand is no longer reliable, and we naturally cannot hang ourselves on this tree.
The most ideal outcome of joining the Dark Wizards Alliance this time would naturally be to not sign any contract. However, this was not realistic. Without signing any contract, not to mention whether Athir would feel at ease, the other party would definitely not trust him.
So this time, Athir's bottom line is to add the previous conditions to the contract.
In this way, even if the contract is signed, it can be terminated at any time as long as Athir's ability to travel through time is still there.
If the other party did not agree to that condition at that time, Atier would have to find a way to shirk it, or even go directly to other worlds if necessary.
However, Athir would not take this path unless it was absolutely necessary.
Although the unknown world is rich in various resources, it lacks the most important inheritance on the path of a wizard. In a world without wizards, many things cannot be obtained, and one can only spend energy looking for substitutes, which is too time-consuming.
Fortunately, the situation did not turn out to be the worst.
Thinking this in his heart, Athir's face returned to calm, and then he was suddenly stunned, feeling a special feeling coming over him.
Deep in his soul, sensing the power emerging from his spiritual sea, a certain power in Athir began to stir and move faintly.
That is world energy, and it is also the power necessary to activate the ability to travel through time and space.
"This is···"
An inexplicable feeling surged from the depths of his soul, making Athir vaguely understand something, and he couldn't help but move according to the feeling in his heart.
At this moment, an inexplicable feeling of restlessness came from Athir.
"Unknown energy has been detected, and the energy in the world is rapidly dissipating..." The mechanical voice of the chip sounded quickly in my mind.
In Athir's spiritual sea, a force emerged, and under Athir's mental manipulation, it continued to rush towards another force.
Under the impact of world energy, the power originally generated by the signing of the contract was rapidly disappearing, and soon only half of it was left, and then it was quickly washed away.
"Does the world have this function?"
Feeling the sense of relaxation coming from his spiritual sea, Atier was stunned, then subconsciously looked at his attribute panel.
"Name: Athir Fakus. Strength: 17.8. Agility: 18.7. Constitution: 18.4. Spirit: 20.1. Spiritual power purity: 7.9%. Realm energy: 1.4."
"I still have 1.4 units of world energy left, which is just enough to teleport to the strange world once... I originally had 3.5 units of world energy left, which means that in order to expel the power in the sea of spirituality, I have consumed more than half of the world energy."
Without caring about being shocked, Athir calculated the consumption in his mind, and then he couldn't help but be speechless: "Why do I feel... like I'm losing money?"
This is something that can be solved by teleporting once, but now it is being solved by consuming world energy, which actually results in a greater consumption.
At least, in a strange world like this, if you want to teleport once, you only need less than 1.5 units of boundary energy.
"Forget it. I can slowly accumulate world energy. It's a good thing anyway."
Thinking of this, Athir couldn't help but smile.
After communicating with the two dark wizards in front of him for a while, Athir left the wooden house and walked in the direction he came from.
However, compared to when he came here, this time he had an inconspicuous black ring on his body. There was no pattern on it at all, and it seemed like a pure decoration.
