Arcane Age

Chapter 207 Styx Oath

Last year’s best-selling book sold a full 190,000 copies!

You must know that the population of the entire Kingdom of France is approximately 50 million, and the literacy rate of the entire Kingdom of France people will not exceed 15% at most!

It can be said that one out of every thirty-seven literate people has purchased this book!

In addition, books can be borrowed from each other, and 190,000 books is already an astronomical number!

"Does this mean that the standard for best-sellers is 50,000 copies? Xiwei, as long as your book can sell more than 50,000 copies in the Kingdom of France within a year, I will count as a loser!" Christine naturally heard it. She said unhappily as to the meaning of Xi Wei's question just now.

"Two hundred thousand copies!" Xi Wei stretched out his right index and middle fingers unhurriedly: "If it's less than two hundred thousand copies, I lose!"

"And this book will be sold at the normal selling price and will never be dumped at a low price!" Xiwei added.

A new author who is not well-known wants to surpass last year's sales champion in the Kingdom of France with his first book!

"Okay! That's what you said! So what's the bet?" Christine found that Xi Wei in front of her suddenly turned into the arrogant person she hated most, looking so disgusting!

"If I lose, I can agree to any request you have within my ability!" Xi Wei's words were full of confidence.

"Without any request, if you lose, this Violet Castle will be mine, how about it?" Christine smiled.

"No problem! If you lose, I hope you can serve as the tutor of Violet Academy!" Xiwei finally had the opportunity to say something to recruit Christine.

It wasn’t that he had to choose the betting method, but that Christine had been living on Violet Island for more than a month.

She is the daughter of Archduke Philip and the head of the mages on board the San Estamba. It is already a luxury to leave the country and position for a month!

During this period, although Xi Wei tried every means and Kristen was very friendly and cooperative, she still didn't speak!

Seeing that the birth day of the Holy Son was approaching, and the countdown to Christine's departure also entered, Xi Wei had no choice but to make a bet!

"No problem! If I lose, let alone the tutor of Violet Academy, I will stay with you for the rest of my life and be driven by you!" If 50,000 volumes is still a bit unsafe, 200,000 volumes is already an impossible astronomical figure. Got it!

If Xi Wei's book, which is full of mistakes, can really create miracles and sell 200,000 copies, then he is truly a miracle child!

Maybe my nightmare will end with this miracle child!

Then he must be by his side at all times to resist the erosion of nightmares. This is exactly what the bet requires!

If he wins, the Violet Castle that he fell in love with at first sight will be in his name!

Guaranteed profit without loss!

A bright smile appeared on Christine's face: "In that case, let's sign the Styx Oath!"

The Oath of the Styx is sworn by the endless River of Styx that traverses the entire multidimensional plane. If you dare to violate the oath, your soul will be thrown into the endless River of Styx and will never be able to escape.

This was originally the most standardized oath used by demons in the Endless Abyss to sign contracts. Later, it was gradually mastered by magicians and became a highly reliable oath.

Although Xi Wei's soul has been sublimated into the Dream Star Soul Diamond in the endless river of Styx, if he is exiled to the endless river of Styx, he will never be able to escape, so he cannot break this oath.

But for Xi Wei, even if he loses, it will only cost him a violet castle.

He has been promoted to a high-level magician and with Zero's help, he can build another Violet Castle in just half a month!

Once she wins the bet, this silver-haired beauty will join the Violet Academy and become a trustworthy and knowledgeable magic instructor!

Guaranteed profit without loss!

A confident smile appeared on both of their faces at the same time.

Kristine took out a piece of light green paper from the space ring.

This is a kind of sedge paper produced from the endless abyss, ground from the sedge grass. It is the best material for signing the Styx Oath.

He took out another pen. The ink at the tip of the pen was the other side ink made of the main material of the other side flower that bloomed on the bank of the endless river Styx.

The complete contract was written on the paper in devil language, and Christine handed the contract to Xi Wei.

Xi Wei didn't need to look. As soon as his thoughts came into contact, a paragraph appeared in his mind. It was the oath that the two of them had just made.

He nodded and used a secret mark to leave his unique soul imprint on the bottom of the paper.

The same was true for Christine. As soon as the imprints of their souls fell on the paper, the entire paper ignited without fire and instantly dissipated in the wind.

Xi Wei immediately felt that there was a small piece of something in his soul, and the Styx Oath had been fulfilled!

Baron Humphrey, who was left aside, was able to interject at this time: "Knight Frost, the paper used in your book is very unique, and it is much higher quality than the paper used by our chamber of commerce. If the original paper is used for printing, I'm afraid the handwriting may be blurred..."

"I can license this papermaking and printing technology to the Bonaparte Chamber of Commerce!" Xiwei waved his hand and revealed his benefits.

In fact, this was the benefit that Xi Wei planned to give to the Bonaparte family at the beginning, because he could not have driven the Bonaparte Chamber of Commerce to sell books in vain. After all, the Bonaparte family controlled a very powerful sales channel in this era!

Without the full help of the Bonaparte Chamber of Commerce, no matter how well the book was written, he would not be able to sell 10,000 copies a year on his own.

"Thank you very much for your generosity! In return, we will only keep the cost of the sales of this book, and all the profits will go to you, Knight Frost!" This is just a book, but with better paper and more advanced printing Technology is obviously more valuable!

"Give me a set too! Xi Wei, I will help you promote it in the Holy Norman Empire! If more than 200,000 copies are sold in the Holy Norman Empire within a year, I will also be considered a loser!" Christine He also extended his hand.

"Are you leaving?" Xi Wei's eyes showed a look of nostalgia.

Although Kristen seemed a little cold and difficult to get along with, she was of great help to Xi Wei during her time on Violet Island.

Whether it is the current political, economic, or military status of the Orient continent; the overt and covert struggles between the Tower of Thousand Dharma, the Kings, Nobles, and the Lord of Glory; or the general status of various magic principles, philosophies, and major schools...

Xi Wei was like a sponge, greedily absorbing all kinds of knowledge and information from Kristine, and Kristine never hid it, but told Xi Wei frankly what she knew.

"Of course! If I don't leave, the knights of the Philip family will come over and destroy the Violet Island!" Christine said angrily: "I wish you a happy Christmas! See you next year!"

"See you next time, I hope you will become a member of Violet!" Xi Wei said with a smile as he drove away the sadness of separation from his mind.

"See you next time, this castle is mine!" Christine looked back with a proud smile, and her graceful and charming body had disappeared from the Violet Castle.
