Chapter 485: Bargaining

Chapter 485 Bargaining
The price of breaking a secret language contract is terrible, then if one is to sign this contract, one must avoid mixing language traps in it.

After referring to the diary’s opinion – no opinion – Saul was the one who decided that he wanted to participate in Shia’s actions.

And Julie, seeing that Saul agreed to sign the pact, hesitated for a while before also expressing her willingness to participate.

Overall, the interests between the three of them and Baidong Academy were not close.

Although both Julie and Shia were honorary tutors of the Baidong Academy, they didn’t have any research projects or promotion needs that required the support of the Baidong Academy, so they could put more energy into doing sweeper missions.

This was actually the fundamental reason why Shia only summoned them.

This was something that Saul had only figured out when he and Shaya started discussing the contents of the contract.

As for Jonah, who didn’t come today.

Although he did teach students at the academy, it was clear from the fact that he didn’t care about where he would be experimenting that he mostly relied on himself and magic crystals for his research.

That’s why Shia wanted to call on Yona today as well.

It was only a pity that the latter didn’t come over for some unknown reason.

A few people spent some time finalizing the contents of the contract.

It couldn’t be left unchecked, nor could it be too much of a constraint, resulting in a breach of the contract if one wasn’t careful.

Once the content of the contract was decided and the three of them, Saul, signed their names on it, only then did they actually discuss the detailed plan to find the source of the contamination in concrete terms.

After the initial plan was made, Shia sent the two back to his villa. Then watched them leave.

Thor walked out of the academy but didn’t go home immediately, wandering the streets for a while before returning to Shia’s villa.

Shia opened the door and realized it was Saul, not really surprised, just a little helpless.

“Julie just left and you’re here on the back foot. I knew you guys were interested in that thing, but I really won’t sell it.”

Saul smiled, “I just figured Julie should be gone before I came over.”

Shia froze and bristled, “That’s why I said Julie was so stupid, her actions were casually calculated by a newcomer.”

“You can listen to my offer, and even if you’re not satisfied, I’ll check your dreams again for free.”

“No need, I have my own way of making sure the evil spirit has left.” Despite his words, Shia still stepped aside to allow Saul to enter.

The two of them then stood in the living room.

“Although Julie’s strength is average, she became an official sorcerer twenty years earlier than you and still has some good things in her hands. But I became an official wizard even ten years earlier than her, so I can’t see any of the conditions Julie mentioned. But Saul you come from the Sorcerer Tower, and your mentor is now a third order …… so I want to hear what you have to offer in exchange.”

As expected, the background of the Sorcerer’s Tower was still scary and enviable.

However, although Saul was very interested in the Spatial Teleportation Spell Formation, he wouldn’t lose his mind.

“Before I make an offer, I need to know if your spatial teleportation spell formation has thoroughly mastered the formula for constructing the spell formation, or is it just using some sort of sorcery prop used to directly set up the spell formation at a designated location?”

Shaya was so surprised to hear this that she couldn’t close her mouth.

“There are times when I really do wonder if you’ve set up a listening spell in my place?” Shaya took two steps back and looked at the various dead ends in the room, “Or did you leave something in my home on purpose?”

“Of course not.” Saul secretly hooked his finger to bring Penny, who was flying around the room, back to his mental body, “It’s just a reasonable speculation.”

Not quite convinced, Shia looked up and around herself anyway.

But naturally he couldn’t find anything.

“Well, it’s actually the second one. I got a set of sorcery scrolls with this spell drawn on it, which allows me to set up a spatial teleportation spell in the desired location.”

Sure enough.

The reason why Saul had the above guess was because he had realized that the other party’s spell formation talent wasn’t particularly outstanding when he observed the sorcery spell formations that the Shia sorcerer had once set up.

At that time, when Saul entered his dream, Shia controlled his spell formation, and Saul was confident that he could easily break it. It was very difficult for such a Shia to construct a spatial teleportation spell formation by himself alone.

So Saul guessed that there might have been someone else or something else that helped Shia construct the spell formation.

And with Shia’s character as a sorcerer, he shouldn’t let other people know about his escape route. “Alright, you know what you want to know. Then what do you want to use to exchange the spell formation with me?”

“If it’s not necessary, Sorcerer Shia has always acted on his own, right?” Sol suddenly said something that seemed irrelevant.

Shia froze and frowned impatiently, “Of course, I can’t be sure if my companion will betray me.”

“But there are actually a lot of inconveniences in acting alone, and there are also simple but risky actions that you need to do on your own. This is a situation where you might just give up, resulting in a direct loss of possible gains.”

Shia said as if she didn’t care, “Compared to a life, a little gain is nothing.”

“But if there’s a way for you to completely control a person to work for you, to control his life and death without having to worry about betrayal, wouldn’t that be better? He could even help you fend off danger as well.”

The bottom of Shia’s eyes lit up a little, “Do you, by any chance, know any kind of mind control technique?”

“Sorcery that controls the heart is at least something a second-ranked sorcerer can do. However, there is my similar parasitic sorcery, which can make the person being parasitized completely listen to your command, and life and death are also in your hands.”

Shaya was visibly moved, his hand resting against his chin as he thought hard.

“I know that Shia wizards used to take evasive means when they encountered danger, but you can really try actively testing the danger before considering whether to evade or solve the problem.”

“Shia, we are witches, and witches who only think about evasion will sooner or later be approached by the backlash of knowledge.” Sol said in a low, compelling voice.

In the world of wizards, danger was always hidden in the unknown, and if one remained stagnant, one would be dragged towards the abyss of danger by an unseen hand.

Don’t become a sorcerer if you only think about safety.

This saying applies to sorcerer apprentices as well as full-fledged sorcerers.

After Sol persuaded him a few more times, Shia finally agreed to the exchange.

However, the conditions of his exchange were ……

“You give me the Parasitic Sorcery, and I will set up a spatial teleportation spell formation at the place you specify.”

The smile on Saul’s face disappeared, “Do you think that if I tell you the place where I set up the spell formation, the spell formation will still be able to serve as a concealment?”

“But it is impossible for me to give you the scroll directly. Compared to taking the initiative, I’d rather master the ability to escape!” Xiaya puffed out his chest, not intending to back down in the slightest.

“Then it seems there’s no point in talking.” Sol turned around and made a move to walk out.

“Wait!” Shia, however, still called out to Sol.

He dwelled on it for a moment and proposed a new idea.

“In addition to setting up a teleportation spell for you once, I can lend you the scroll to transcribe for three hours.”

Sol asked directly, “Is there a masking spell formation on the scroll?”

“There is, but if your spell formation talent is strong, it is possible to calculate the original spell formation by stripping the masking spell formation yourself.”

Sol sneered, “Easy to say, but three hours would be hard to even make an accurate transcription. Lend me at least three days.”

“That won’t do!” Shia raised his voice, but immediately lowered it again, “At most, one day at most, and you can only transcribe from me. You don’t need to make conditions, just say yes or no?”

Sol’s thought for three minutes this time, “If the spell is drawn incorrectly and I go in and teleport, isn’t it possible that I’ll die because of it?”

Shia nodded, “Of course, high probability of being directly torn apart by a spatial rift, small probability of falling into some unknown place, almost impossible to reach the other end.”

“It’s really dangerous to the extreme.” Sol lowered his head, “Alright, I agree, let’s start transcribing now.”

Shia’s muscles twitched, suppressing the corners of his mouth that were about to rise, “Alright then, let’s go to the room we were in last time, I’ll stand in the defense spell and open the scroll, you can only observe from outside, you can’t come in, or I’ll kick you out of the room.”

“Hmph!” Saul was a bit dissatisfied and grunted lightly.

However, his attention was on the diary in his mental body.

“Diary buddy, it’s been a long time since I’ve troubled you. But you see, the space teleportation spell is really too dangerous. You wouldn’t want me to be …… torn apart while I’m performing the teleportation, would you?”

Hopefully, the routine will return to normal.
