Dawn of the Grey Tower

"Cost ..." The cheese whispered after listening to the elder witch. This vocabulary has been with the life of the mage since he began to be exposed to magic, and has been helped and paid for. This has almost become the default rule of the cheese. But the more you understand this exchange rule, the clearer the cheese is, and the price to be paid for the help that is enough to solve the immediate difficulties must be very painful.

"Are you hesitating?" Green asked with a smile.

"Shouldn't I hesitate?" If the average person is asked by the witch in this way, he will definitely understand this question as that the other party is not satisfied with his indecision. But the cheese didn't worry about losing Ge Lin's support, and the mage even asked through the other party's question.

"Your hesitation is naturally necessary. After all, for those of us, it is always good to be cautious when facing the unknown cost." Green looked at the cheese, and the smile on the witch's face was stronger. , Seems very satisfied with the mage's reaction. Too arbitrary and too cowardly are taboos for the caster, but after all, the caster is still thinking with the logic of normal creatures, and in many cases they will also make irrational judgments for various reasons. And in this case, hesitation, the phenomenon itself means that the brain is thinking and weighing the pros and cons quickly, even if the final result of the thinker is still not the best answer, but it is better than those who give up thinking completely. It is much better to deliver actions to instinctive people.

"Okay, but since that's the case, can you tell me something about the price I have to pay to stop this plague?" The cheese naturally can see that the witch recognizes her answer very well, and the mage hopes to use This momentum gets more information from the other party.

"Oh, you must also use or know someone who uses prophetic spells? Then you should also be aware that some things will happen naturally when it should happen. Knowing fate prematurely is not a happiness Thing. "Greene replied. The witch in the red dress shook her head gently, motioning to the cheese, she would not reveal more information.

"However, you do n’t have to worry too much. Although it does n’t sound so credible, I really stand on your side in this matter. To help you save this country, I can still provide you with some More help. But ... "Gallen's words came to a halt here, and the witch poured herself another cup of tea, and watched the cheese slowly said," If you want this gift, you must also Give something. "

The expression of the cheese did not change much. From the beginning, the mage did not intend to get the witch's help for nothing. Although he has the same interests as the witch, as a door-to-door helper, it is understandable to pay the witch some remuneration. So the cheese has made some psychological preparations for this.

"Okay, I'm willing to discuss your cooperation with you carefully." The mage said that the terms between the casters are sometimes very cautious, especially when dealing with powerful casters such as witches. Even more so. A rigorous and well-recognized treaty will not only make traders feel disgusted, but will show their meticulous thinking, which is a very good opportunity to display in the caster group.

Since the cheese expressed no opinion, soon a long parchment scroll with some texts appeared on the table in front of them. Apparently, Greene has made a general framework for the cooperation between the two parties. This made the mage realize that perhaps in this transaction, the witch side also had a strong appeal. Read the text on the parchment carefully. This special text will only be used on the most serious contract. Once the contract is signed by both parties, everything in this world will be witnessed. The coercive force of this contract is so strong that even the devil does not like to use it. He will write the contract in this text, which shows that the witches attach great importance to the content of the contract.

"Ah ... Are you sure you have written the right part of the remuneration on the contract?" After careful reading, the cheese can be sure that the contract is quite fair. Even the fair is not like a transaction, and since this contract was made by an ancient witch, the details and clauses in it are also added in place. Except for some items that must be added by the mage himself, almost the entire contract has no problems in the part of the responsibility that the two parties have to bear. What really confuses the cheese is the remuneration part of the contract. To be precise, the remuneration part that the cheese should pay the witches.

"Yes, I'm pretty sure I didn't make a mistake. And I believe you read it right. That's indeed the clause we asked for, and it can even be said to be the most important clause." Greene pointed to the clause where the cheese was puzzled. Said.

"Hoo ... you should know that I will not be the best person to implement this clause. There are many people who will be better than me." The Master is still struggling.

"Really? But in my opinion, no one is more suitable to implement this clause than you." Greene still looked at the cheese with a smile, and from her smile, the cheese knew very well if he wanted to get the other party. Help, then you must accept this clause.

"Okay, then skip this clause and don't talk about it. I think these details can be changed ..." Shaking his head like a fate, the mage began to focus on the rest of the contract, trying to get as much as possible for himself Resources.

For a long time ... When the time had slowly flowed into the middle of the night, there was a not-so-strong magic fluctuation flashing in the reception room where the cheese and Greene talked. However, this magic power did not dissipate into the surrounding environment as it should after normal cast. Instead, it gradually expanded, like an invisible ripple, sweeping a huge area at a very fast speed. Those who perceive this magical power are not sure where this magical power comes from, but they all feel in the dark that something unquestionable and changeable has been established.

"Click." The door of the reception room opened again. Koranti, who had gone out to put the dragon's blood before, walked into the room indifferently. The room seemed to be the same as when she left, and the flame in the fireplace still exudes warmth. But this heat can no longer restore the temperature of the dead body.

"She left after signing the contract." The cheese was drinking hot tea in the cup and her eyes were talking to the front ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ On the other side of the long table in front of him, Greene had stopped Breathe. The age-unaccountable witch ended her life. After her death, her body quickly withered and deformed, and the original appearance had turned into a dark brown substance with only a fuzzy human shape.

"She has long known that today is her last day. She is just waiting for you." She calmly picked up Greene's remains. Coranti's face did not seem to have much sadness, but the cheese was still keenly aware. By the tears on her face that were obviously wiped off.

"Will you bury her? Or pay for the flames? I can help. Although I don't get along for long, she is a good lady who deserves respect." The cheese said.

"No need, we have been around the soup pot all our life, and it should naturally become the raw material in the soup pot after death." Coranti carefully wrapped the body of his grandmother with the satin that was prepared earlier, "Drink contains The decoction of the body of the previous generation of witches, we have inherited their wisdom and will. This is a ritual that must be completed. "

"Really ... Then I hope she can make the soup taste better." The mage replied silently. There are many ethnic groups in the world that have their own special and grotesque rituals and customs that look strange to outsiders. In fact, This phenomenon occurs in all human races. In the face of such things, the principle of cheese is to respect the will of the deceased. Since everyone has a different understanding of the meaning of life, why should he care where he should go?

"Yes." Coranti showed a reluctant smile when he heard the cheese. "You will rest here tonight. My mother and I will start fulfilling the contract with you tomorrow morning."

The mage nodded silently, listening to the sound of Coranti closing the door and making a long sigh.
