Although there were a few minor accidents during the process, the apprenticeship ceremony was completed successfully in the end.
It is said to be a ceremony, but in fact it is just that the two parties signed a master-disciple contract under the witness of Long Ma.
After all, the Witch World is still a world of spellcasters. When the God King established the eight major factions of magic, he referred to many spellcaster civilizations, because many of the current traditions in the Witch World have the shadow of the traditional mage and wizard culture.
Take this master-apprentice contract for example. According to legend, in the past, a mage or wizard would conclude a master-apprentice contract when recruiting apprentices. However, that contract was actually more like a contract of betrayal. From then on, the apprentice became the private property of the teacher. What was included in the contract was
Apprentices have a lot of obligations, but there are very few restrictions on teachers.
There is no way, after all, in the general mage civilization and wizard civilization, apprentices need to beg their teachers to give them a chance to learn, and teachers generally treat their apprentices as free servants, and will only teach them when they are in a good mood.
They have one hand.
However, the master-disciple contract in the witch world is relatively fair. The witches converted the old contract into an equal contract. The contract has constraints and requirements for both master and disciple, but these requirements are often quite loose.
It just means that apprentices should be filial and respectful to their teachers, and teachers should try their best to teach their apprentices.
Well, there is no way. After all, witches love freedom by nature. Generally speaking, they don't like to be burdened with too many restrictions, but a major event like becoming a disciple requires a sense of ritual.
What they value is the process of concluding a contract, and they don't care so much about the content of the contract.
Therefore, contract culture is very common in witch society. Basically, as long as they are doing business, witches like to sign a contract when they have nothing to do. However, if you look closely at the contents of those contracts, you will find that those contracts are basically only
Minimal constraints.
Well, basically it means that there is money to be repaid, and there is favor to be repaid.
Anyway, witches only like simple and straightforward contracts. If it is too troublesome, they may ignore you because they are too lazy to think.
And if you want to go further and use the contract to blackmail the witch...
Well, the gang of wage earners in the abyss who have now become the Demon Lord, the demons who have been 007 for a long time have something to say.
Of course, generally speaking, in addition to signing a contract, the witch's apprenticeship ceremony also depends on the individual's personality to decide whether to have a fun or something. Logically speaking, with the status of Noeurose and Euphelia, Dorothy
This apprenticeship ceremony should be very grand.
But now Teacher Spider couldn't wait any longer. She was afraid that something would happen if it dragged on any longer. Moreover, Dorothy herself didn't like excitement very much, so the two decided to keep everything simple.
Noelle Rose immediately took out a bold solid gold contract from her pocket.
As mentioned before, contracts are a manifestation of the sense of ritual for witches, so of course the more advanced the contract, the more ritualistic it will appear.
As a result, the most common parchment contract could no longer satisfy the growing need for pretentiousness of these guys. Eventually, the contract in the witch world began to inexplicably roll up, and various "skins" were introduced, such as
What kind of dragon skin contract, angel document, devil contract, etc.?
In the end, even the ink used to write the contract started to curl up. Anyway, it was just as high-end as it was.
Dorothy took the seemingly ordinary gold contract from Teacher Spider, and then looked at it carefully, her hands trembling slightly.
Well, this contract looks like a normal gold contract in terms of weight and feel.
Although gold is indeed precious and is the main currency in the witch world, pure gold contracts are somewhat limited compared to those truly high-end contracts.
Dorothy originally thought that Teacher Spider was a person who refused to be introverted and valued practicality more.
After all, gold itself is an excellent magic power storage material, so the effectiveness of gold contracts has always been very good, and it is one of the more cost-effective types of contracts.
However, when she turned the contract to the back, she saw an elegant signature in the corner of this plain gold document - Asty Moss.
Groove, the Demon King’s autograph.
The otaku witch raised her head and glanced at Mr. Spider, who had a calm expression on her face, and had to admit that she was really fooled by this.
The signatures of powerful witches are not just gimmicks like those limited editions signed by celebrities in previous lives. The signatures of such bosses convey their power, especially the signatures on things like contracts.
In other words, this contract was witnessed by the Queen of Witches.
The effectiveness of the contract is generally linked to the witness. Once someone violates the contract, the witness is obliged to maintain the effectiveness of the contract.
Currently, most of the contracts on the market in the witch world have the Great Witch as the witness. Only a few high-end contracts have the Peak Witch as the witness. As for the contract with the Witch King as the witness...
..
All I can say is that this thing has a price but no market.
Contracts of this level are usually used in alliances between powerful witch leaders. Now using this thing in this small apprenticeship ceremony is really suspected of overkill.
But Dorothy looked up and glanced at her own mother, and she quickly understood.
Okay, with her own weight it is indeed difficult to alarm the Witch King, but if you take into account the status of her mother Euphilia, then her apprenticeship is indeed equivalent to an alliance between two powerful witches, and she is barely qualified to use this.
A contract.
At that moment, she no longer hesitated, and directly forced a drop of blood to fall on the golden contract, and the bright red blood stain quickly deformed and turned into her own exclusive mark - the little witch riding a broomstick.
Later, Teacher Spider also dropped a drop of blood, and there was a mark that looked like a spider dancing with silk threads on the contract.
Finally, the contract burned automatically, and the dark fire finally formed a classic mark of the ram's horned devil, and the ram's horned devil who was originally just a mark suddenly opened his eyes and looked at everyone present.
It was just a casual glance at first, but when his eyes glanced at Dorothy, the horned devil's eyes were obviously startled, and then his eyes moved upward. When he saw the hat on Dorothy's head, the horned devil stared directly.
Eyes widened.
"The contract is made."
But soon, the horned devil returned to normal, and a particularly majestic voice sounded in Dorothy's ears.
