Contract magic originated from divinity and was later modified by humans. Even without the supervision of the gods, contract magic would take effect and bind the two parties who signed the contract.
This meant that humans had the power to replace the gods and had the advantage of not being bound by the plane's rules. If humans hadn't inexplicably lost their power, perhaps all the planes adjacent to Myers Continent would have been conquered long ago.
Although contract magic was magical, it was a kind of magic that reflected fairness. You couldn't force others to sign a contract. Only when both parties were willing could the contract be completed.
Contract Trap, on the other hand, exploited the loopholes in Contract Magic to turn the originally fair Contract Magic into a dangerous offensive magic.
For contract magic, there were only four levels in this world.
Level 1 to level 3 was a level, and they were all low-level professions. Level 4 to level 6 was a level, and these professions were the backbone of this world. Level 7 to level 9 was a level, and the professions of this level were the strongest in this world. Above level 9 was a level, and in this level, everyone had the hope of obtaining the same power as the ancient humans.
Contract magic couldn't take effect across two levels. In other words, a Magic Shooter couldn't sign a contract with a low-level profession, and could only sign a contract with an intermediate profession. If a contract was signed with a low-level profession, then the interests of the low-level profession wouldn't be guaranteed.
Contract magic was also a kind of relatively perfect magic, and there were many restrictions against contract traps. Even if one wasn't a mage, they would understand the truth. It was too difficult to make the three kings fall into a magic trap.
But the greater the difficulty, the greater the reward.
"I've thought about it carefully before coming here. The Three Sovereigns are restricted to Level Nine in this realm. If they see through the trap of the contract, there's almost no chance of us surviving," Ainphent said seriously. Salin listened carefully.
"But once we succeed, as long as the two of us are together, with the three kings as our fighters, two level 9 professions are not our opponents. If we separate, we can also deal with a level 9 profession alone. Isn't the reward great? "
Salin nodded. Ainphent continued: "Since it's great, it's worth it to pay a little more, right?
"Yes."
"Then think about it, what do you have in your hands that can arouse the interest of the three kings?"
Salin had thought about this for a long time. He didn't know what the three kings were looking for. If he had known, he would have set up a magic trap and waited for Ainphent to come.
"Then let's change our way of thinking. Which king do you think is easier to start with?"
"Diabinas … no, Banchagana. Maybe it would be easier to deal with Judy and Coco. " When Sarlin was questioned by Ainphent, he realized that even after observing the Three Lords for so long, he still could not determine their weaknesses.
He started talking about Diabinus because Diabinus' intelligence was obviously the lowest among the Three Monarchs. However, it was precisely because Diabinas lacked intelligence that he could only rely on force to solve problems. Such an existence was truly difficult to deal with. No matter what kind of crafty plot you came up with, a single slash from him would be all over.
Although Banchagana wasn't as smart as Judy and Koko, his attribute was chaos, which he couldn't control. The first time there was a problem, Banchagana almost killed Salin. The second time, Banchagana had released the black-robed Bishop of the Church, bringing endless trouble to Salin.
If the black-robed Bishop had been killed here, although the Church would continue to send people to investigate, they wouldn't be so determined to make a big move. Now that the black-robed Bishop had brought back news that there were heretics here, the Church didn't have much time left for Salin.
For an existence that even he couldn't control, Salin couldn't think of any reliable trap for Banchagana to jump into.
And although Judy and Koko were the smartest, they also liked to compromise and wouldn't use violence to solve problems. If the method was used appropriately, Judy and Koko would be the easiest to trick. This inference surprised Salin a little, but it was reasonable.
"Relatively easy? Then you'll have to give them enough bait, right? " Ainphent couldn't do much about this. The Clyde family had money, military force, and Mages, but it was still not enough to deal with an Undead Lord. Ainphent was only in charge of the family business in this city, and couldn't mobilize all the power of the Clyde family.
He also wanted to take out bait immediately, but he didn't have any, so he could only pin his hopes on Salin.
Salin knew that now wasn't the time to be stingy, but the most troublesome thing was that he didn't know what the Three Monarchs wanted. When a person didn't have desires, they wouldn't have weaknesses. The Three Monarchs definitely had desires, but Salin didn't know what those desires were.
If all the Mages on Seriger Island were here, then it wouldn't be a problem, and they could use force to solve it. But now, Salin only had two Level-4 Mages and two Level-5 Mages. The rest couldn't even take a breath from the Three Monarchs. Including Salin and Ainphent, there were only six people who could survive more than ten seconds in front of the Three Monarchs.
When one's strength reached a certain level, schemes became useless.
The shipwreck of the Second Dynasty? Of course, the Three Monarchs could go deep into the sea to investigate, but that didn't require a contract, so they couldn't set up a trap. After thinking for a while, Salin suddenly remembered that there was a ruin of the Second Dynasty in the Chaos Swamp, and that ruin was likely to be occupied by the Church.
From the perspective of a contract, Salin couldn't be sure if there was any power of the Church in that ruin, so there was no need to mention this when signing the contract. But if the Three Monarchs encountered someone from the Church, they might not attack, and might even run away. If there was someone at the level of a Bishop in the ruin, the Three Monarchs would definitely do that.
If there was a similar situation again, they could set up a magic trap to deal with this problem.
"Ainphent, I got it."
As Salin spoke, he released the Cloud Walking Spell. Clouds filled the room, and everything in the room could no longer be seen or heard from the outside. He was very cautious this time, because if the Three Monarchs found out what he was going to say, even if there was a small clue, not only would he fail to complete the task, but he and Ainphent would also have to face the wrath of the Three Monarchs.
"Your magic … is very strange." Ainphent's Undead Flames expanded again, illuminating the world within the clouds. He and Salin conversed in the clouds, which was even safer than the Soundproofing Enchantment.
"Do you remember the first time we met?"
"I do. You brought two beautiful girls to sell gemstones at my place."
"I went through the Chaos Swamp. In the Chaos Swamp, I met a White Deacon of the Church. Although he was only a deacon, I think that even the current me might not be his match." Salin recalled Picasso's expression, and felt that this White Deacon was different. At least, he was much stronger than the two Black Deacons he met.
"The magic ruin of the Second Dynasty?" Hearing Salin's description, Ainphent felt that this thing could attract the Three Monarchs.
"I have never been to the ruin, but I know the location marked on the map. I also can't be sure if the people of the Church are still there. Can such conditions constitute a contract trap? "
"It's enough, as long as you are sure that the Three Monarchs won't lay their hands on the people of the Church."
"Absolutely not. They are hiding from something, maybe they are afraid of the God of Light's revenge. Sooner or later, they will return to the Undead Plane, and the God of Light may personally come to that plane. "Salin simply analyzed the worries of the Three Monarchs, and his guess was almost completely correct.
"But this requires the two of us to personally go, and it is very dangerous."
"Can you fly now?"
"Yes." Ainphent did not hide anything. His plant undead had an undead that could fly, and this undead could carry him to fly like a Level Six Magician.
"I can too, and my speed is not slower than a Level Six Magician. As long as there is no one above the rank of Bishop of the Church in that ruin, we will not be killed instantly. Your contract trap will definitely work, right? "
"Definitely, as long as it is in the Myers Continent plane, even the gods will be bound by this contract."
"How many people did you bring this time?"
"Two Level Three Magicians, 500 Swordsmen."
Salin took a deep breath. The Clyde Family had really put in a lot of effort. 500 Swordsmen, 50 of which were Swordsmen. There might even be 100 Swordsmen. This was probably the most power that could be mobilized for Ainphent. With these 500 people, the city base would be much safer.
The Clyde Family also gave Ainphent two Level Three Magicians. Level Three Magicians were not much in Alchemy City, but in an ordinary city, they would be of great help. Especially when defending a city, the lethality of a Level Three Magician to a Warrior was not that much lower than that of an intermediate spell. The only drawback was that the number of Magic Strings of a Level Three Magician was too low, and they did not have long-term combat power.
"Leave these people here. I still have a group of people that I can use, but they are not very loyal. This time, I will bring them to the Chaos Swamp." Naturally, Salin was talking about the subdued pirates. Now, these pirates had already been divided into two groups. Less than 100 of them were already dead set on Salin, while the other 100 were still hesitating.
Salin did not plan to continue observing these 100 people. Those who were unwilling to follow him could only be sacrificed. If he went to the Chaos Swamp with the three Lords, he would definitely encounter some enemies. Even if the three Lords disguised themselves as Daniel's summoned creatures, they did not like to fight personally. Most of the time, it was still Salin's people who dealt with the magical beasts in the forest and swamp.
