Chapter 161: Contract Trap (Part 1)
Contract magic originated from divine art. Later, after being modified by humans, contract magic will take effect even without the supervision of gods, constraining both parties to sign the contract.
This means that humans had the power to replace gods and had the advantage of not being bound by plane rules. If humans had not lost their power for no reason, they would have probably all planes adjacent to the Meles Continent had been conquered long ago.
Although contract magic is magical, it is a magic that reflects fairness. You cannot force others to sign a contract. Only when both parties are willing can the contract be completed.
The contract trap is to use loopholes in contract magic to turn the originally fair contract magic into a dangerous attack magic.
For contract magic, there are only four levels in this world.
Level 1 to 3 is a level, all are low-level professions. Level 4 to 6 is a level, these professions are the backbone of this world. Level 7 to 9 is a level, and professions at this level are strong people in this world. Level 9 or above is a level, and in this level, everyone is a guy who has the hope of gaining the same power as ancient humans.
Contract magic cannot take effect across two levels, that is, a magician cannot sign a contract with a low-level profession, and can only sign a contract with an intermediate profession. If a contract is signed with a low-level profession, the interests of the low-level profession will not be guaranteed.
Contract magic is also a relatively complete magic, with many restrictions on contract traps. Even if you are not a magician, you understand the truth. It is a bit too difficult to make the three kings fall into the magic trap.
But the more difficult it is, the greater the reward.
"I thought carefully before coming. The level of the Three Kings in this plane is limited to level 9. If the contract trap is discovered by them, there may be almost no one we will survive." Aini said seriously, and Salin listened carefully.
"But once we succeed, as long as we are together, three kings are thugs, the two level nine professions are not our opponents. If we separate, we can also deal with a level nine profession alone. Is this a big reward?"
Salin nodded. Enni continued: "Since it's very big, it's worth it to pay more, right?
"right."
"Then think about it, what is in your hands that can arouse the interest of these three kings?"
Salin had been thinking about this issue for a long time, and he didn't know what the three kings were looking for. If he had known, he would have designed a magic trap long ago and would have taken action as soon as Aini came.
"Then let's change our thinking. Which king do you think is easier to start with?"
"Diabinas... no, it's Banchagana. It's not possible. Maybe it's relatively easier to attack Judikoko." Salin was asked by Aini, and then he realized that he had observed the Three Kings for so long, but still could not judge the weaknesses of the Three Kings.
He started to say that Diabinas was because Diabinas's wisdom was obviously the lowest among the three kings. However, Diabinas's lack of wisdom was the only way to solve the problem by force. Such an existence was really difficult to deal with. No matter what conspiracy you think of, if someone slashed it with one knife, it would be all done.
Although Benchagana is not as smart as Judykoko, Benchagana's attributes are chaotic and he cannot control it himself. When the first problem arose, Benchagana almost killed Salin. The second time, Benchagana let go of the black bishop of the Holy See, which caused endless trouble to Salin.
If the Black Bishop was killed here, although the Holy See would continue to send people to investigate, it would not make up its mind to make big moves directly. Now there is news of paganism brought back here, and the Holy See would not have much time left for Salin.
For an existence that even he himself could not control himself, Salin could not think of any safe trap that would allow Benchagana to jump in.
Although Judy Koko is the smartest, he also likes to compromise the most and refuses to solve problems with violence. If the method is appropriate, Judy Koko is the one who is most easily deceived. This inference surprised Salin, but it is reasonable.
"Relatively easy? Then you have to give enough bait, right?" Enni didn't have much help with this. The Clyde family is rich, has force, and has magicians, but it is still a bit insufficient to deal with a deceased king. Enni is only responsible for the family business in this city and cannot mobilize all the power of the Clyde family.
He also wanted to take out the bait immediately, but he didn't have it, so he could only hope for Salin.
Salin knew that this is not a time to be stingy, but the most troublesome thing was that he didn't know what the three kings wanted. When a person had no desire, he had no weaknesses. The three kings must have desires, and Salin didn't know the specific content of this desire.
If all the magicians on Srieg Island are here, of course there is no problem, just solve them with force. Now Salin only has two level 4 mages and two level 5 mages around him. The rest of the people couldn't even bear the three kings in one breath. Including Salin and Aini, there were only six people in total who could survive in front of the three kings for more than ten seconds.
When the power reaches a certain level, the strategy is useless.
The shipwreck of the Second Dynasty? Of course, the three kings could enter the deep sea to explore, but this did not require a contract and could not set up a trap. After thinking for a while, Salin suddenly remembered that there was a ruin of the Second Dynasty in the chaotic swamp, and that ruin was probably occupied by the Holy See.
From the perspective of contract, Salin is now unable to determine whether there is the power of the Holy See in the ruins. When signing the contract, there is no need to ask this question. However, when the Three Kings meet people from the Holy See, they may not take action or even escape. If there are white-clothed bishop-level figures in the ruins, the Three Kings will definitely do this.
If this happens again, you can set up magic traps for this problem.
"Ani, I thought of it."
Salin said, releasing the cloud movement technique, and clouds filled the room. Everything in the room could no longer be seen or heard outside. He was cautious this time because if the next words were known by the three kings, even if they knew a little clue, not only would the matter not be completed, but he and Aini would also face the anger of the three kings directly.
"Your magic... is very strange." Aini's necromancer flame expanded again, illuminating a world in the clouds. He and Salin were safer in the clouds and mists than the silent barrier.
"Remember the first time we met?"
"Remember, you brought two beautiful girls to me to sell gems."
"I passed through the chaotic swamp. In the chaotic swamp, I met a white deacon from the Holy See. Although this man was just a deacon, I think even now I may not be his opponent." Salin thought of Picasso's spirit and felt that this white deacon was a little different, at least much stronger than the two black deacons he met.
"The magical remains of the Second Dynasty?" Eni heard Salin's story and felt that this thing could attract the three kings to the bait.
"I have never been to the ruins, I only know the location of the map. I cannot be sure whether the people in the Holy See are still there. Can such conditions constitute a contract trap?"
"Enough, as long as you are sure, the three kings will not attack the people of the Holy See."
"Absolutely, they are hiding from something, maybe they are afraid of the revenge of the Lord of Glory. Sooner or later, the Lord of Glory may be able to descend to that plane in person." Salin simply analyzed the worries of the three kings and guessed it was almost completely correct.
"But it's very dangerous for the two of us to go there in person."
"Can you fly now?"
"Yes." Aini did not hide it. There was also a flying undead parasitized on his plant undead, which could take him to fly like a level 6 magician.
"I can do it too, my speed is no slower than a level 6 mage. As long as there are no people above the Holy See's Bishop in that ruin, we will not be killed instantly. Will your contract trap take effect?"
"Absolutely, even gods will be bound by this contract as long as they are on the plane of the Meers continent."
"How many people have you brought here this time?"
"Two Level 3 Mages, Five Hundred Swordsmen."
Salin took a breath of air conditioning, and the Clyde family really invested a lot, including 50 swordsmen, of which there were fifty swordsmen. It might be one hundred swordsmen. This should be the most powerful force that can be mobilized to Aini. With these 500 people, the city base is much safer.
The Clyde family also gave two third-level mages to Aini. The third-level mage is nothing in Alchemy City, but in fact it is a powerful helper in ordinary cities. Especially when defending the city, the lethality of the third-level magic to warriors is not much worse than that of intermediate-level magic. The only flaw is that the number of magic strings of the third-level mage is too low and does not have lasting combat power.
"Leave these people, I still have a group of available people, but I'm not very loyal. Let's take them to the chaotic swamp this time." Salin was naturally talking about the subjugated pirates. Now these pirates have been divided into two parts, and there are probably less than a hundred people who are already devoted to Salin, while the other one hundred are still hesitating.
Salin no longer intends to continue observing these more than a hundred people. Those who refuse to follow him have to be sacrificed. When they go to the chaotic swamp with the Three Kings, they will inevitably encounter some enemies. Even if the Three Kings disguised as Daniel's summoning creatures, they do not like to take action in person. Most of the time, Salin's people still need to take action to solve the forest and monsters in the swamp.
