Ryan and the other three people sat around in the study, and a new table was placed in front of them. After Emma placed two glasses of water and a glass of Bordeaux wine on the table, she quietly left. Ryan After Emma left, he casually set up a few more magic barriers to completely isolate the surroundings.
Jialib took a sip from the water glass and said with a smile: "Why, you have made up your mind."
"Yes, but before that, I still hope to get your approval." Ryan nodded and replied: "It must be absolutely foolproof."
Faras was confused, but she knew that if Ryan called her, he would definitely tell her the specific truth. There was no need to interrupt and ask questions at this time, so she sat aside and held the glass of Bordeaux wine. Taste it slowly,
Jialibu rubbed his nose. This action rarely appeared on him, which showed that Jialibu was also a little uncertain now. After about a few seconds, Jialibu said: "You know, I am The members of the dragon clan were later exiled for some reasons and were not allowed to return to the form of dragons for the rest of their lives. It was an unbearable time to look back. The adult dragons who lost their power had to avoid giving in even if they encountered a mere level 6 monster, hehe. .”
"In order to protect myself, I chose to integrate into the human world. After hundreds of years of wandering, I finally slowly adapted to my current appearance, and my strength recovered to a level sufficient to protect myself. From that moment on, I I have spent my time preparing to find another way to pursue strength." Ghalib's face was covered with vicissitudes of life, and it was obvious that he had fallen into memories of the past.
"Those old guys from the Dragon Clan who sealed my power, I asked myself that I couldn't beat them, so naturally I no longer considered how to forcibly break the seal. Then my only hope was to aspire to the legendary realm in human form as soon as possible. At the beginning, I tried to take some detours, hoping to use certain rituals to open up shortcuts, such as letting Adela and the others borrow your power, or the equal contract you are about to use. These methods can be used in certain situations and under certain conditions. They can indeed play a huge role, but they also have their own weaknesses."
When Ghalib said this, he paused. He turned his eyes to Farasi and saw a puzzled expression on the latter's face. It was obvious that Farasi was pondering what this so-called equal contract meant. Haha, Ghalib With a smile, he knocked on the table and said: "The so-called equal contract is actually to combine the power of two people into one and then distribute it equally to each. In a sense, this is a means of slow suicide, because once the contract Established, any signer who wants to increase his strength must spend twice as much effort. After entering the legend, it is a long process to increase his strength, and the legendary strongman who signs this contract must also put this The terrifyingly long process will be doubled again. Although after entering the legend, your lifespan will break through the limitations of the race itself and will be greatly improved, the extent of this improvement will not be extended several times... "
When Ghalib said this, he stopped talking, but his meaning made it clear to Ryan and Farasi next to him. Obviously, the increase in life span under normal circumstances cannot offset the extra time spent after signing this contract, that is, It is equivalent to making it difficult for the legendary strong man to improve his strength after signing the contract. This huge price is of course heavy, so Farasi quickly said: "No, I object..."
Ryan's big hand gently covered Farasi's small mouth, blocking the next words she was about to say. Then Ryan's voice reached Farasi's ears: "Fanny, don't refuse, this is the only thing I can do for you." What you did, as for strength, haha, Fani, have you forgotten that my strength is completely different, there may not be any chance."
Faras was moved, and a hazy mist appeared in her eyes. Although Ryan said it nicely, Faras still knew that about nine percent of it was to comfort herself, leaving only the only hope. Although it is better to have hope than no hope, Farasi still does not want to affect Ryan's future because of herself, so she gently reaches out and pulls away Ryan's big hand covering her, and said: "But..."
"Fani, I'm not forcing a smile to comfort you. Think about it carefully, what is my biggest shortcoming now." Ryan smiled slightly. He had already thought of an excuse to persuade Farasi for this day, and it just came in handy now. ,
"Your shortcomings." Farasi thought sideways for a moment. She didn't know if it was because Ryan's decision shocked her so much. Her whole mind was in complete confusion, and she couldn't remember anything for a moment.
Seeing Faras's appearance, Ryan chuckled and said, "Okay, let me tell you, I have been taking risks since the day I came into contact with magic. Compared with those real great magicians, I lack It’s the foundation, the foundation, Fani, my offensive methods and protective methods, although very direct and effective, are extremely single.”
Ryan revealed the secret, and Faras stood up from the chair with a "Ah" sound. There was no need for Ryan to continue talking. She already understood what Ryan's biggest shortcoming was now. Because of the lack of systematic foundation accumulation, Ryan was The change of methods when facing the enemy is very simple. This problem has appeared from the beginning, and Ryan can always give full play to his own advantages, so it has not really been revealed until now. However, looking back at the limited failures of Ryan's life, You can see this very clearly,
This shortcoming was not very obvious in the past, and it is not obvious even now. As long as Ryan stays in this plane, he can basically use an unlimited number of low-level magic to forcibly destroy any enemy, but if Ryan encounters a more powerful As for existences, such as the demigod lich hiding in another world, or the beholder tyrant who is so powerful that even the demigod lich is afraid of it, Mistress Herest, Prince Mosatzphele and other characters, Now that the tieflings have invaded here, the Nagas are also preparing to move in the distance, and the undead army is watching in the dark. If Ryan does not quickly solve the problems caused by his rapid improvement in strength, maybe the next legendary showdown will be When he fell, from this point of view, Ryan's plan to sign an equal contract with Faras was not necessarily a pure sacrifice. He could also use this opportunity to get what he lacked most and dreamed of most from Faras.
After thinking about this, Faras no longer resisted Ryan's proposal in her heart, although she still knew that the benefits she gained from this contract far exceeded that of Ryan, because the latter's benefits were only expected, unlike Faras. It is almost certain to obtain it. The difficulty gap between the two can be easily distinguished by a human being with a grown mind.
"Fani, you inherited Teacher Delanai's Earth Guardian, and you also gained almost all the magical foundations under the legend. These are what I lack most at the moment. Apart from this, Fani, you It was because of me that I was willing to inherit this power and gave up the qualification to advance to legend in the future. Now I have the ability to change everything. Do you hope that I will feel guilty for the rest of my life because of this matter?" Ryan said softly: "Fanny , don’t reject me, just like you didn’t reject my proposal.”
"Disgusting." Although she had been married to Ryan for a long time, Farasi was still a little shy. She squeezed Ryan's ribs a few times, then blushed and lowered her head, which was regarded as acquiescing to Ryan's words. Ryan saw With a shy look, Faras reached out and grabbed her little hand. The two of them intertwined their fingers, silently experiencing the warm feeling.
After a while, the two of them remembered that there was another person next to them, so they quickly separated their intertwined fingers, only to see that Jialib had hidden in the corner of the study at some point, with a hand in his hand. He was looking through an ancient book with great interest. When he felt Ryan and Faras turning their eyes on him, Jialib stretched out comfortably, then pointed to the book in his hand and said : "I thought I could finish it, how about you continue."
Ghalib's teasing immediately caused a blush to fly on the faces of Ryan and Farasi. The two of them lowered their heads in embarrassment. Seeing the appearance of Ryan and his wife, Ghalib laughed a few times, and then said seriously Said: "Okay, no more joking. Now that you have made up your mind, you can start. Come on, let me explain the entire ceremony in detail. You must also remember what you want during the ceremony. The incantation recited, this ritual is permanent, even if you, Ryan, have the opportunity to become a new god in the future, this contract will still be effective..."
As Ghalib said, the signing ceremony of this equal contract was indeed very long, and the magic spells to be used in it took a lot of effort to memorize by Ryan and Farasi. Some of the most critical magic spells were very important. It was difficult to pronounce, and it didn't sound like the language of any race in this plane. Ryan asked casually, but was gently led away by Jialib, so he stopped asking.
For seven consecutive days, neither Ryan nor Faras stepped out of the study door. During this period, only Jialibu came out, gave a few casual instructions and hurried back. Allen had known Ryan's determination for a long time. During the period when Ryan did not appear, he decisively took up the important task and once again became Cassano's acting lord.
The tieflings' attacks were intermittent, but they never really stopped. In the more than half a month after Ryan returned to Cassano, several legendary strongmen of the tieflings would appear every few days. On the battlefield of Cassano, however, due to the small number of manpower appearing each time, it could not cause devastating damage to Cassano. Instead, it gave Allendo and others more opportunities for actual combat. After experiencing many high-level battles, After the baptism of intense and dangerous battles, Seres, Barbara, and their tacit understanding with their contracted companions have become more and more skilled. Even Barbara, who is the weakest, can rely on the skills made by her teacher Ryan. The magic dagger "Snake's Kiss" personally killed a seriously injured Tiefling strongman. The terrible poison hidden in the dagger from the Spider Queen actually caused the body of the strong Tiefling legendary strongman to In just a few minutes, it rotted into a puddle of green water, which made Wallace and other members of the Dragon Clan fearful.
