The magic contract is a piece of dark yellow parchment. The surface feels very smooth when you touch it, like a fine silk handkerchief. The moment you touch it, lines of magic text gradually appear. Several crooked lines of magic text form a short sentence.

.

"These conditions and requirements are quite reasonable. Basically, there is no problem. I can agree to it now." Grant looked carefully from top to bottom. After making sure that he would not be restrained, he bit his finger with his teeth and drained the blood.

Use your mental power to draw you to the six-pointed star array in the lower left corner.

"Buzz!"

The blood-stained six-pointed star array suddenly flashed with a dazzling light, and the entire paper seemed to be crushed by an invisible strong wind. The debris scattered in the air, and then a burst of golden flames passed by and turned into ashes.

"The magic contract takes effect!"

Grant closed his eyes, and after feeling a powerful and mysterious movement shrouding his body, he knew that he needed to agree to fulfill his obligations.

Contents of the contract: Bring Melio's daughter Martha from the mage colony to Melio within four years. If Melio dies, the contract will be terminated.

"Haha, this contract is very beneficial to both of us. You just need to go back to the mage cluster and call your teacher to help you activate the True Knowledge Detection Magic Eye in the Shadow Academy and search the area of ​​​​the mage cluster. This is what I want

I think your teacher can handle it easily."

Melio's wrinkled cheeks were slightly red, his eyes were full of satisfaction, and the mustache on his slightly pointed chin was becoming more and more upturned.

He elegantly picked up the crystal wine glass placed next to him, poured a glass of bright red wine from the bottle, and drank it gently. Melio had done this, and he was very happy both externally and internally.

Grant chuckled, narrowing his eyes slightly and thinking about certain issues. He knew that there were two requirements for activating the Shadow Academy's Exploration of the Great Demonic Eye of True Knowledge. One was to possess the Shadow Badge, and the other was that the strength must reach the level of a second-level mage.

Although Grant knows which city Martha is located in, the specific location is not clear. Therefore, it is necessary to start exploring the Great Magic Eye of True Knowledge. However, four years will allow him to raise his level to above level 20 and become a

As a second-level mage, Grant agreed because he was confident. Otherwise, given his character, it would be impossible for him to sign a magic contract.

After Grant and Melio briefly exchanged a few words, the entire luncheon went on in a similar manner. Melio summoned some desserts and sat down at the table to taste them slowly.

Melio gnawed on a piece of dessert that looked like peanut candy, and after making a crunching sound, he said slowly: "Mr. Grant, I heard that your baron army in Fire City has lost its territory. If necessary, we can...

My connections can help you find a better place, do you need it?"

"Oh?" Grant's eyes were crescent-shaped, and a ray of light flashed from them.

Grant knew that Melio's request was nothing more than to find a place to monitor the people who were related to him in Fire City. After all, having more confidence and weaknesses would always increase a bit of security. Creatures like mages have never been able to

Those who like to gamble too much often have back-ups.

But Grant didn't care.

"Now that Master Melio has said it, I also have a place I want. I haven't decided yet, but I can tell you that that place is Black Pine City."

"Black Pine City?" Melio was surprised and stared at Grant with doubtful eyes: "Although that place belongs to the viscount-level territory, it is far away from Bliss City and is a remote place. The large number of black pine trees growing on both sides are not

It’s perfect for stationed life. With my connections, you can boldly help them find a prosperous territory around Bliss City.”

Grant shook his head, declined, and said with a smile: "I just made a small request, and it has not been finalized in the end. I will tell the Master after I return to the manor to discuss it."

"If that's the case, then I will wait quietly." Melio smiled.

"Yeah." Grant nodded.

Grant suddenly stood up, bowed slightly and said: "I enjoyed this meal very much, so I will go back first. I will come to say hello to you before I leave Bliss City."

"Leaving so soon? It would be nice to stay a little longer and discuss some magic knowledge."

"My friends are still waiting for me." Grant smiled politely, but in his heart he was unwilling to stay in this place for a second. After all, spending more time with Melio might reveal some of his own secrets. Besides, Grant was so powerful.

Standing together with life forms that can instantly kill you will be seriously unaccustomed.

"It's hard for me to keep you now. You can leave first, but I'll give you the communication runes first. If you have anything to do in the future, you can contact me." Melio drew several red light runes in mid-air with his fingertips.

, with a clap of his hands, the rune flew to Grant's right arm and turned into a red tattoo. Melio continued to speak: "Give me yours by the way, so that we can communicate more easily."

The corners of Grant's mouth twitched twice. Void Rune Pattern. This method is only available to formal mages and above, and this kind of transmission and communication consumes the energy of the body. At the beginning, scavengers used communication crystals for short-distance communication.

Grant smiled speechlessly and said with a smile: "No, yours is enough anyway. Mine is superfluous. After all, each person only has twenty positions for this kind of rune. It is not a good habit to waste too much."

"Whatever. Someone will take you back to the manor below." Melio didn't notice that Grant stopped stiffly for a moment. After laughing nonchalantly, he put away the tableware on the long table.

"Let's go." Grant put his hands back into his robe, and he left the wizard's building wearing a black robe.

…………

Beside the quiet manor, the warm sunshine shines on the emerald green lawn.

Two soldiers wearing gray leather armor were cuddling together, hugging their cross swords and dozing off. They had not experienced a quiet and warm environment for a long time. They had fought in Wanghuo City before, and the fighting all the way made them mentally exhausted.

I haven't fully adapted to it in the past two days.

Their hearts are like a tight string, always on alert.

"Crunch~~~"

The black iron fence suddenly sounded, and the sound of metal creaking and rubbing spread to the surroundings.

"who?"

The two soldiers suddenly woke up and opened their eyes suddenly. A chill spread on both sides. With their bodies tense, they raised their swords and stared at the door like a conditioned reflex. But when they saw the two figures coming clearly, their faces suddenly changed.

He changed, half-kneeling on the ground with excitement and respect, and loudly said: "See the Baron, join the Master."

"It looks like you are living well." The man with messy blond hair said. His eye sockets were deeply sunken. There was a blood-red scar on the left side of his thin cheek. The silver armor all over his body was severely damaged.

Many chains had holes broken into them.

An old man in white robes stood next to him. His long and tired eyes looked around the scene in the manor. There was a hint of relief in his golden-blue eyes, and the corners of his lips quietly curved upward.

They were the scavengers and Albert who rushed to Bliss City. After a long period of fighting and fighting, they finally brought the remaining refugees from Wanghuo City to the outside of Bliss City. However, the city regulations of Bliss City could not accommodate large numbers.

The refugees can only be provided with some food and drink.

Now they need to find another territory, and then take a short rest and preparation before rushing there.

"Where are Corian and the others? Why is there no one in this entire manor?" Albert asked with a nervous tone. He was afraid that the loss of manpower this time would be too great, and the vitality of the city of Fire would be greatly damaged.

The uneasy soldier realized that the baron had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "They just went out to buy a batch of things. This time, Miss Emile, the young master, and the two master mages are all fine. We have come here to preserve the relatively intact ones."

Steel Barrier (Breeth City).”

Albert nodded reassuringly.

"Get people ready to gather. I need to quickly formulate a territory plan. Call Master Hailan, Master Grant, my daughter, and Corian all here. I think you should know their location."

"Yes, Baron. We will definitely complete the mission." The two soldiers bent down and gave a soldier's salute, then quickly ran out of the manor with their calves. Today, Emil, Fran, and important senior officials all went out. It seemed that everyone

They have their own goals, and they are the only ones who stay in the manor and are responsible for guarding it.

The scavenger glanced sideways at the leaving soldiers and said worriedly: "Albert, your money is not enough to buy the original territory. I know that the Hanmo family's reserve funds have become more and more abundant in the past few decades.

An iron vein was even found. But this time, nearly 2,000 of the more than 10,000 refugees died, the soldiers also lost a lot, and their families need to be resettled."

"Yes, but there is no other way. We can only take it one step at a time. It doesn't matter if we buy a smaller territory. I can develop it slowly. But what are your plans for the future, master?"

"Me?" The scavenger shook his head helplessly and with relief: "This battle has made me see clearly that I enjoy the stability of ordinary people too much, and some of the qualities that a mage must have have long been worn away. I have lived for nearly

A hundred years is not too far away from death, so I might as well join you. If you have time, travel to other human kingdoms and see different humanities, geography and cultures."

Albert smiled, pointed to the light yellow double-story building and said: "Let's go to the room to take a rest first, and after they all get closer, we can find a way to ask them what they think about this territory."

…………

On a gray street crowded with people, rows of poplar trees grow on both sides.

A red carriage is particularly attractive. There is a fiery red badge mark on both sides of the golden-framed carriage. It is a small flaming giant bird. There is a symbol in the giant bird's eye, which represents the strongest in Bliss City.

**division.

Many people's eyes were on the carriage, but Grant didn't feel anything. He looked through the curtain in the direction of the slave city from a distance, with a fiery look flashing in his eyes.
