Chapter 485 Bargaining
The cost of violating the secret contract is terrible, so if you want to sign this contract, you must avoid language traps.
After consulting the diary's opinion - no opinion - Thor decided to participate in Char's action.
When Julie saw that Saul agreed to sign the contract, she hesitated for a while and expressed her willingness to participate.
In general, the interests between the three of them and Baidong College are not close.
Although Julie and Xia are both honorary instructors of Baidong College, they do not have any research projects or promotion needs that require support from Baidong College, so they can focus more on their tasks as sweepers.
This is actually the fundamental reason why Char only summoned them.
This is what Thor figured out when he began to discuss the terms of the contract with Char.
As for Jonah who didn't come today.
Although he taught students at the academy, it can be seen from the fact that he didn't care where he would do his experiments that his research mostly relied on himself and the magic crystal.
So Char wanted to invite Jonah along today as well.
It’s a pity that the latter didn’t come for some unknown reason.
It took them some time to finalize the contents of the contract.
We cannot do without constraints, but we cannot constrain too much either, which may lead to inadvertent breach of the contract.
After the content of the contract was decided and Thor and the other two signed their names on it, they actually discussed the detailed plan for finding the source of the pollution.
After making a preliminary plan, Xia sent the two back to his villa and watched them leave.
Thor walked out of the academy, but did not go home immediately. After wandering on the street for a while, he returned to Char's villa.
When Char opened the door and found it was Thor, he wasn't very surprised, just a little helpless.
"Julie just left and you came right after. I knew you were interested in that thing, but I really won't sell it."
Saul smiled and said, "I came here just because I thought Julie would leave."
Xia was stunned and curled his lips, "So I said Julie was too stupid. Her actions were easily calculated by a newcomer."
"You can listen to my quote. Even if you are not satisfied, I can check your dream again for free."
"No need, I have my own way to make sure the evil spirit has left." Although he said this, Char still opened the door to let Thor in.
The two of them stood in the living room.
"Although Julie's strength is average, she became a formal wizard twenty years earlier than you, so she still has some good things. But I became a formal wizard ten years earlier than her, so I don't like any of Julie's conditions. But Thor, you are from the Wizard Tower, and your mentor is now at the third level... So I want to hear what you have to exchange."
Sure enough, the background of the wizard tower still makes people fearful and envious.
However, although Thor is very interested in the space teleportation array, he will not lose his mind.
"Before I quote, I need to know whether you have thoroughly mastered the formula for constructing your space teleportation array, or whether you simply use some kind of witchcraft prop to directly set up the array at the designated location?"
When Xia heard this, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Sometimes I really wonder if you have set up a monitoring system here?" Xia took two steps back and looked at every blind spot in the room. "Or did you deliberately leave something in my house?"
"Of course not." Thor secretly hooked his fingers, allowing Penny, who was flying around the room, to return to her spiritual body. "This is just a reasonable guess."
Xia didn't quite believe it, so he looked around him.
But of course he found nothing.
"Well, it's actually the second one. I got a set of witchcraft scrolls with this magic circle drawn on them. I can place the space teleportation magic circle where I need it."
It is indeed so.
The reason why Thor had the above guess was that when he observed the magic array that the wizard Xia had set up, he found that the other party's talent for arrays was not particularly outstanding.
When Thor was dreaming, Char controlled his magic circle, and Thor was confident that he could easily break it. It would be difficult for Char to construct a space teleportation magic circle by himself.
So Thor guessed that maybe someone else or something else helped Char construct the magic circle.
Given Wizard Char's character, he probably wouldn't let others know his escape route.
"Okay, now you know what you want to know. So what do you want to use to exchange the magic circle with me?"
"Unless necessary, Wizard Xia should always act alone, right?" Thor suddenly said something that seemed irrelevant.
Xia was stunned, frowned and said impatiently: "Of course, I can't be sure whether my companions will betray me."
"But there are actually many inconveniences in acting alone, and there are also some simple but risky actions that you need to do by yourself. In this case, you may just give up, resulting in a direct loss of possible gains."
Char said indifferently: "Compared with life, a little profit is nothing."
"But if there is a way for you to completely control a person to do things for you, to control his life and death, without having to worry about betrayal, wouldn't that be better? He can even help you resist danger."
Xia's eyes lit up a little bit, "You, do you know any kind of mind control technique?"
"The magic of controlling people's minds can only be done by a second-level wizard. However, with parasitic magic similar to mine, the parasitic person can completely obey your command, and his life and death are in your hands."
Char was obviously moved. He put his hand on his chin and thought seriously.
"I know that Shaya Wizard always took evasive measures when he encountered danger in the past, but you can really try to actively test the danger, and then consider whether to avoid it or solve the problem."
"Char, we are wizards. If wizards only think about avoiding, they will sooner or later be attacked by the backlash of knowledge." Thor said in a low and seductive voice.
In the wizarding world, danger always lurks in the unknown. If you stand still, you will be dragged into the dangerous abyss by an invisible hand.
If you only want to be safe, don't become a wizard.
This statement applies to wizard apprentices as well as formal wizards.
After Thor persuaded him a few more times, Char finally agreed to the exchange.
However, the condition of his exchange was...
"You give me the parasitic witchcraft, and I will set up a space teleportation array at the place you specify."
The smile on Thor's face disappeared. "Do you think that if I tell you where the magic circle is set up, will it still be able to conceal you?"
"But I can't give you the scroll directly. Compared to taking the initiative to attack, I would rather master the ability to escape!" Char puffed out his chest, showing no intention of backing down.
"Looks like there's nothing to talk about." Thor turned around and pretended to walk out.
"Wait a minute!" Xia still called out to Thor.
He struggled for a moment and came up with a new idea.
"In addition to setting up a teleportation array for you, I can lend you the scroll for three hours to copy."
Thor asked directly: "Is there a concealing magic circle on the scroll?"
"Yes, but if you have a strong talent for magic arrays, you can peel off the concealing magic array yourself and calculate the original magic array."
Thor sneered. "That's easy to say, but it's hard to even transcribe accurately in three hours. Lend it to me for at least three days."
"That won't work!" Char raised his voice, but immediately lowered it again, "At most, one day at most, and you can only copy it from me. You don't need to talk about conditions, just tell me whether you agree or not?"
Thor thought about it for three minutes. "If the magic circle is drawn incorrectly, will I die if I teleport in?"
Xia nodded. "Of course, there is a high probability that it will be torn apart by the space rift, and a small probability that it will fall into an unknown place. It is almost impossible to reach the other end."
"It's really dangerous." Thor lowered his head. "Okay, I agree. I'll start transcribing now."
Xia's muscles twitched, and he suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to rise. "Well, let's go back to the room we were in last time. I'll stand in the defensive magic circle and open the scroll. You can only observe from outside and cannot come in, otherwise I'll kick you out of the room."
"Hmph!" Thor snorted with some dissatisfaction.
But his attention was on the diary in his spiritual body.
"Diary, I haven't troubled you for a long time. But you see, the space teleportation array is too dangerous. You don't want me to be torn into pieces during the teleportation, right?"
Hopefully things can get back to normal.
