Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1452 I have read and agreed to the strange disappearance
After the communication was interrupted, Xia Duo sat quietly in the room for a long time, constantly reviewing the memory just now, and substituting himself into the situation Carano was in from time to time.

The other party's last smile made him feel that he might have missed something, but in the end he didn't find any doubts. It just made him more sure that the other party attached great importance to the mithril mine.

"I hope it's just me thinking too much!"

……

Two days later, the elders of the Moonshadow family mentioned by Carano arrived in Severton.

It's just that the other party didn't show the face of an elf, but pretended to be an ordinary-looking human being, until Xia Duo led him to a private reception room, and the other party showed his true face——

An old man with wrinkles on his face.

"I don't know what your name is?"

"Lord Xia Duo just call me Limo. I am here to sign a sacred contract with Your Excellency on behalf of the Moon Shadow Family, and to hand over Mithril compensation."

"I've prepared the contract, take a look."

Xia Duo didn't expose the little tricks in the other party's words, so he quickly signed the contract and everyone was safe.

However, when Xia Duo put the thick stack of elf paper prepared in advance in front of Limo, the expression on the other side's face couldn't hold back immediately.

"Lord Xia Duo, is this a sacred contract?"

"Yes, of course this is a sacred contract! Don't you see the holy power of order filled above it?" Xia Duo asked back.

In order to prepare this contract, he spent thousands of gold coins and found a priest from the Great Temple to pray for an afternoon.

Of course, the priest was given divine grace by the Lord of Radiance because he presided over the contract, so Xia Duo was exempted from the fee, that's another matter.

The contract is indeed full of holy power of order, and it is a whole, not composed of multiple sacred contracts.

Li Mo had no choice but to pick up the contract and read it carefully. Unlike the countless clauses he expected to be mixed together, this contract is very clear, and even the first two pages carefully refined the general content of the contract.

Which part needs to be seen, according to the previous prompts, just turn it backwards.

This contract was written entirely in Elvish language. Li Mo didn't seem to be struggling. After a while, he read it all, but after reading it, he found that the various words he had prepared in advance had completely lost their effectiveness.

The original plan of negotiating again disappeared without a trace at this moment.

It was really hard for Li Mo to imagine that the other party could extend a contract of "not actively disclosing the Mithril mine to the outside world within three years" to so many words.

It lists many possible situations. In Limo's view, almost all the possibilities have been exhausted, and many situations are almost impossible to happen.

But the other party still listed them one by one.

Looking at the contract document in front of him, which was comparable to a book, Li Mo didn't know whether to sign it or not.

After a long silence, he reached out and pressed on the contract, leaving his personal magic imprint and family emblem on the cover, and at the same time read out the standard signing words provided by Xia Duo——

"I have read and agree to the entire content of this sacred contract, in the name of the Moon Shadow family, the Lord of Radiance witnesses."

After reading it, the holy power above the contract suddenly fluctuated, and a flame that could be seen by the naked eye shrouded the contract.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo was sure that what Limo said was completely from the heart, without any coercion. The Lord of Radiance approved the signing of the other party, and then he also said the standard signing words, in his own name.

After signing the contract, all the holy power on the contract disappeared suddenly, but both parties to the contract could summon the real body of the contract by chanting the holy name of the Lord of Radiance.

As for the paper document left by the ceremony, Xia Duo was not too stingy, but gave it to Li Mo.

After that, Mithril will be handed over, which is also reflected in the contract. It is impossible for Xia Duo to leave such an obvious loophole.

A total of 1200 pounds of high-quality mithril was more than double the 500 pounds that Carano had promised before. Xia Duo guessed that it might be a slight error caused by the inconsistency of the weights and measures between the two parties.

Of course, it is also possible that Carano intended to show kindness.

After an inspection process that took longer than signing the contract, and tossing from morning to afternoon, Xia Duo confirmed that the handover was completed. Of course, the excess Mithril would not be refunded, and it was his inspection fee.

……

After Limo left, Xia Duo poured more than 1000 mithril ingots on the ground.

Looking at the high-quality mithril covered in white flowers all over the floor, he thought that he would be more or less excited, but he didn't expect that his mood at this moment was unexpectedly calm.

After careful exploration of the source of this emotion in the subconscious, it finally fell on the big secret that may exist in the Langas Plain or the Green Vine Tribe.

The expectations are too high but not realized. Now even if the harvest is good, it is difficult to be happy.

"Forget it, don't think about it, this matter is over."

But after returning to the laboratory, Xia Duo still subconsciously touched the location of the detection equipment in the laboratory, and they came all the time, without looking for it, a thorn in his heart always fell.

The previously signed contract only stipulated that Xia Duo could not take the initiative to disclose the news of the Mithril Mine in the Langas Plain for three years, but it did not stipulate that he could not discover other secrets by himself.

It's just that the result of the detection made him very surprised, which was very different from the result of the detection he conducted in the Tower of Time before.

"This--"

Xia Duo seemed to have thought of something, and quickly detected it again, and the result of the detection this time was almost exactly the same as before——

In the area where the Green Vine Tribe was originally located, there is no trace left by the Green Vine Tribe.

The traces here include not only the people of the Lvteng tribe, but also the buildings, roads, farmland, plants, and even all human-made traces of the Lvteng tribe.

In other words, the target detected by Xia Duo this time is no different from any uninhabited wilderness on the Langas Plain!
"how can that be?!"

Fortunately, the members of the "David String Properties Research Project Team" have not yet arrived, and he is not indispensable to the laboratory. Xia Duo immediately came to the teleportation room of the Austrian Law Federation.

With the help of the teleportation circle here, it is directly teleported to the high altitude near the green vine tribe.

In the bitter cold wind, Xia Duo stood out of nowhere, looking at the empty land below, he quickly lowered his altitude without giving up, and approached the green vine tribe during the descent.

As a result, after actually setting foot on the land where the Lvteng tribe is located, the large farmland that existed just a few days ago has now turned into a large area of ​​weeds.

Further inside, the place that was supposed to be a village is still the same wilderness scene as the outside.

Up to the location of the Ancestral Spirit Hall in Xia Duo's impression, there is still no change, it is still a wilderness.
