Lord of Arcane

Chapter 210
The Lord of Radiance has priesthoods such as laws and contracts, and many servants of the Lord of Radiance will gain the ability to witness the contract because of this.

The so-called sacred contract is actually the realization of this ability, similar to how mages make spells into magic scrolls.

However, unlike the magic scroll, the sacred contract can be written by the person who signed the contract, and at the end, just say "the witness of the lord of glory" to complete the contract.

As for the breach of the contract, the Lord of Radiance will not deliberately punish the breacher, but will give a mark, and the next time he comes into contact with the sacred contract, it will be displayed, so that people can know that this guy has breached the contract at a glance.

The cost of breaking the contract is not low. Generally speaking, being able to sign a sacred contract shows that you are quite sincere.

The form of signing the contract is also very interesting. Both parties only need to copy the content of the agreement, and there is no need to leave their names or emblems.

If the content of the agreement is too much, the contract will be automatically extended, and there will be no situation where one contract cannot be written.

……

After the steward delivered the contract, another servant moved the writing table and placed it between Xiaduo and Mrs. Patty. Mrs. Patty wrote first, and then the steward handed it over to Xiaduo.

Xia Duo finally took a look at the contract, and found that it was not different from the agreement between the two before, and then began to copy Mrs. Patty's handwriting.

After Xia Duo finished copying, the housekeeper had already left, and Mrs. Patty had come to him. Knowing the process, Xia Duo also stood up, picked up the copied contract, and put half of it in Mrs. Patty's hands.

At the same time, Mrs. Patty couldn't wait to shout: "The Lord of Radiance witnesses!"

Xia Duo hadn't had time to shout, but this did not affect the final result. A holy light flashed on the contract, and then the contract was split into two.

He and Mrs. Patty each got the content copied by the other party, but the size of the contract did not change, as if an extra copy had been created out of thin air.

Seeing this miraculous scene, Xia Duo couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Lord of Radiance, who could witness the conclusion of the contract and supervise the fulfillment of the contract with just one sentence.

After signing the contract, Mrs. Patty seemed very happy, her cheeks were flushed, and she had a special style. Xia Duo couldn't help but tease:
"you're so beautiful!"

Unexpectedly, just this one sentence made Mrs. Patty's face turn cold instantly. Xia Duo felt that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she changed the subject and said seriously:
"Now that the contract has been established, the madam's manpower and supplies can be prepared. The supplies can be exchanged first. The manpower must be paid close attention to, and the Savile collar must also be developed. No one will be available at that time."

When it came to the business, Mrs. Patty's face turned warmer, and she asked: "Does your lord have any specific development plans? When will it start? Where will it start? How will it start? Knowing these, I will be ready to recruit people."

Territory development is not a big deal. It has only been a few days since Xia Duo acquired the new territory. Coupled with the influence of the elf mage, the time for the development is still uncertain, so there is no specific plan.

When Mrs. Patty asked, Xia Duo had no choice but to take out the [Map of the Great Xia Territory] transcribed by Lord Savile with spells yesterday, and handed it to Mrs. Patty:

"This is a map of the vicinity of the territory. The territory is about 20 miles south of Savile Town. Please help me think about the plan."

One person counts short, two counts long, and Mrs. Patty must have a group of people. Xia Duo is going to see how the plan here is, if he thinks it is feasible, he will use it, and if he thinks it is not, he will change it.

After signing the contract, Xia Duo suddenly felt that he had become the father of Party A. After all, he was spending ahead of time, so he didn't panic, and if Mrs. Patty had already invested a lot, then he didn't panic.

After making up his mind to squeeze Mrs. Patty, Xia Duo's mentality instantly calmed down a lot, and the development troubles that had been pressing on his mind were almost wiped away.

He was even thinking about whether to be the shopkeeper or not.

As long as he holds the fame and position with one hand and magic with the other hand, he is not afraid of the other party's twisted thoughts. Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo immediately made up his mind:
"Mrs. Patty, I still have something to do at the Mage Tower. I will put the map here with Madam. I will come back in two days, and then we will discuss the specific development plan."

After finishing speaking, he didn't give Mrs. Patty a chance to refuse, and left directly, leaving Mrs. Patty standing thoughtfully.

……

On the way back, Xia Duo walked slowly. He carefully considered the cooperation with Mrs. Patty, or the Liaton Chamber of Commerce.

First of all, there are common interests between the two parties, and the shopkeeper can also do it, but he must take the initiative——

The other party can only do what he asks the other party to do; instead of the other party making up his mind for him.

It's okay to make suggestions, but he doesn't have to listen.

Xia Duo used his brain to ponder the possible pitfalls and loopholes. Although there are contracts and the identity guarantees of mages and pioneers, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can guarantee that the other party will not cheat him.

"You still have to have your own cronies!"

Thinking of the end, Xia Duo found that what he lacked was not a collaborator, but a trustworthy person who had the most direct contact with development.

In Xia Duo's opinion, Mrs. Patty is relatively credible, but being credible does not mean that she must be trusted, only her.

Checking and balancing is the valuable experience left by Xia Duo's ancestors for countless years, but Xia Duo lacks cronies the most. With few cronies in hand, how dare he play with the shopkeeper.

Edric and the others may be counted as cronies, but this is only limited within the organization, and the organization has no actual binding force.

Once they are asked to leave the mage tower and open up the territory by themselves, Xia Duo can't guarantee that they will agree to such a realistic problem.

There are no trusted acquaintances for the time being, but Xia Duo can still find a lot of reliable acquaintances. Maybe he can invite them to join the territory development plan, and then turn them into trusted acquaintances during the development!

Confidants, confidantes, in Xia Duo's view, apart from intimacy and trust, what is more important is to distinguish between superior and inferior, primary and secondary, and monarch and minister!
Suddenly, Xia Duo had a sense of being a lord.

……

Before he knew it, Xia Duo had already reached the mage's tower. It was just the beginning of the month, and the nearly full moon looked extraordinarily bright.

The mage's tower under the night seems to be covered with tulle, cold and mysterious, and the faint blue timing runes on the top of the tower are spinning endlessly, and it is close to 8 o'clock at this moment.

Calling Tower Spirit opened the door, and after returning to the mage tower, Xia Duo felt a burst of relief.

Compared to being busy outside to develop territories, staying in the mage tower and studying magic is the most comfortable life. Of course, if there is an Internet to play around with, then this kind of life is really not even for a god.

In the evening, I made the scroll as usual. Compared with yesterday, I only made four times today, but all four times were successful, which is worthy of encouragement!
