Chapter 158 How can a soul contract be signed on your behalf?!
Is it related to the overall development of wizards?
How can a topic involving a group of half-grown children have such critical significance? Is this a young hero movie?
Oh, I almost forgot, according to the long-lasting memory that I don’t know who gave him, this is really a world of children’s literature.
Erwin grinned.
"Excuse me, Professor, what kind of contract is it?" Angela asked boldly.
"There is only one thing. Before the entire project process is completed, you are not allowed to pass on information about the content of the project in any way to anyone other than internal personnel."
This is a clear statement of the content of the contract, with no loopholes to be exploited, which reflects the professionalism of Professor Suouene.
"If you are unwilling to accept it, you can choose to withdraw immediately. Professor Twelve Trees will arrange for someone to send you back to your original school."
No one directly refused to sign the contract because it sounded like a very legitimate and reasonable request.
"If there is no objection, let's start now." Suuene's wand appeared in his hand at some point. The wand was straight and the tip was very sharp.
Erwin suddenly felt some throbbing in Riddle's soul. "That wand... gave me a very familiar feeling." He said to Erwin.
Erwin was a little surprised. It seemed like there was something strange about the wand or it had some special history, but you couldn't tell just by looking at it.
The golden beam of light shot out from the tip of Suuene's staff, forming a pattern of multiple rings nested inside each other. This is not the first time Erwin has seen this pattern. The last time was in the Novena space, when Dumbledore
When Lido helped him establish a family contract with Melanie.
Dumbledore used a special word to call this type of magic, "the law", the golden law.
Conventional oath-type magic also exists, but the binding force of the oaths and contracts formed are determined by the magic level of the concluding wizard, which is unfair to wizards with relatively low strength. At the same time, magic has developed to this point.
In this era, there are already too many ways to break or even counter the magic of oaths.
But the "law" seems to be completely different, and both Dumbledore and Suuene seem to recognize its effect.
The difference between ordinary oath-type magic and law is like the difference between a private notary and a government judicial agency.
"Sign your names," Professor Suuene said.
Everyone was a little hesitant. Although they were all outstanding young people, they were essentially newcomers to the magical world. "Law" was basically an unheard-of system for them.
The first rule of wizards is to remain cautious and reverent towards the unknown.
"Since you want to be my assistant, you should come first." Suuene said to Erwin.
"There's something wrong..." Erwin was about to say something when Carlius on the other side suddenly snorted coldly, and then immediately wrote his name in the air with his wand.
Erwin shrugged, it seemed that there was no way to break up with this guy.
The name written by Carlius was also made of translucent golden thread, but Erwin noticed that as a bystander, he could not see the name clearly, and just after Carlius wrote the name, a faint light came from the circle.
It was emitted from the ring and hit his forehead.
"Real name test." Riddle said quietly.
Only people who have never been exposed to magic would think that a name is just a meaningless code name, but in fact every soul has a corresponding name. Erwin himself is the fusion of two souls, resulting in some names based on his real name.
It is difficult for soul magic to have an effect on him.
This should be regarded as an advantage, but the first impact it brought to Erwin was that if it weren't for luck and some special measures, he would probably have no chance of being in the magical world, and the pen of acceptance would not be written on the Book of Access.
his name.
His fused soul also proved the authenticity of his special memory... At first, Erwin was scared and doubtful about the whole world, but now he doesn't care much about it. There is no other reason than the system.
After studying magic in depth, he found that there were too many things he didn't understand.
The more you know, the more you will feel your ignorance, and you will not think so much. Even if you want to doubt the authenticity of the world, you must at least have enough knowledge and experience to be qualified to doubt it.
After checking that Carlius's real name was correct, one section of the Ring of Law became a little brighter.
Erwin looked very interested, and following the habit of a good researcher, he took out a small notebook and began to record the pattern of the golden ring - naturally using Riddle's diary that he carried with him.
No one noticed anything strange about this diary.
"Professor Suuene, are you personally responsible for ensuring the execution of this legal contract?" Erwin asked.
"Of course not. In that case, this is not a legal contract, but my unilateral control over you." Professor Suouene said.
"Then what is the source of reliability of legal contracts?" Erwin continued to ask calmly.
"The golden tree."
"Golden tree? What is that?" This is a completely new concept for Erwin.
"have no idea."
"Don't know?" This is another unexpected answer.
"Because so far, we have never found any plant or other existence in this world that fits the concept of a 'golden tree'. All descriptions of it come from ancient magic texts."
"Doesn't it exist in reality?" Erwin thought thoughtfully.
"It may not exist physically, it may exist in a special plane or subspace, or it may not be a tree itself." Suouene said: "Even for the top wizards
, there are too many things in this world that we cannot understand.”
"Is the Golden Tree an unknowable existence?" Viktor Krum frowned slightly.
"Although the entity cannot be found, there are ways to infer that it does exist, and the functionality of the legal contract at its core has also been strictly confirmed, and as long as the scope of the contract is strictly determined, safety can be ensured
sex."
"Is it really okay to not even know what the other person is?" Krum still frowned.
Suuene sneered, "Classmate Viktor Krum, how much do you think you know about this magical world? Do you know how your magic power is converted into magical effects? Do you know that thousands of years ago, numbers
What form did magic take thousands of years ago, even before humans appeared?"
Krum was speechless.
"I hope you understand something." Suwuene glanced at the students majestically, "Research on magic theory is necessary, but this does not mean that nothing needs to be done before the theory is thoroughly studied. If
If a method has been confirmed to work thousands of times, then it works, even if you don’t know why.”
Erwin thought it was quite interesting. Such words would not be said to ordinary students, because they would not think about principles.
"What's more, although we have never been able to find the actual existence of the golden tree, it does not mean that we know nothing about the legal contract itself. You are not the only smart person in this world." Suuene looked at it again.
Eye Krum.
The corners of Krum's mouth twitched.
"I am not the creator of this contract, so I can ensure its fairness and validity." Suuene said to everyone this time, "I am also subject to this contract and cannot violate it.
content."
Probably to set a demonstration and reassure the students, Professor Suuene wrote his own name.
Erwin found that he still couldn't see the golden name clearly.
Erwin thought, does it mean that everyone's name is invisible to other contract participants?
This is interesting.
Virginio, Ogg, Angela, and Lyudmila signed their names one by one, and then took the real name test.
Everything is fine.
Then it was Erwin's turn.
He pulled out his wand and quickly wrote three words: "Tom Marvolo Riddle."
Then the faint light representing the true name test came over, and Erwin quietly lifted the diary in his hand a little.
He had just been pretending that this was his notebook, and he was recording what Professor Suuene said in it.
Then he heard Riddle express his feelings using a very vulgar word. Of course, this was on a conscious level and only Erwin could hear it.
"you……"
"Help me." Erwin said.
There is something wrong with his own soul's true name, and he doesn't want to expose this situation.
The disappearance of the beam of the True Name Test should mean that it was passed.
"Anyway, you and this diary are extremely stable. Even if you violate the contract, there won't be any problem, right?" Erwin said to Riddle.
Riddle snorted, he was definitely unhappy.
"There shouldn't be any problem with the terms of the contract, right?" Erwin continued to ask.
"No." Riddle replied coldly.
The golden ring carrying the true names of all souls slowly dissipated, and a strange feeling lingered in everyone's hearts, except of course Erwin.
"What will happen if the contract is violated?" Virginio raised his hand and asked.
"Your soul will become nourishment for the golden tree."
"Wow." Virginio sighed, "Did the Golden Tree come directly to extract our souls? Can we determine the true location of the Golden Tree based on this?"
"Do you think you will be the first to think of this?" Suuene glanced at him lightly.
Virginio immediately shrank his neck.
"Now that the contract has been signed, it's time to take you to understand the exact content of our subject." Professor Suouene walked towards the door.
Everyone was a little surprised. Did they come to this basement just to sign a legal contract?
Professor Suuene opened the door, and Erwin discovered the abnormality almost instantly.
