Arcane Lord

The Lord of Glory has the priesthood of law, contract, etc., and many of the Lord of Glory's servants will gain the ability to witness contracts.

The so-called sacred contract is actually the embodiment of this ability, similar to how mages turn spells into magic scrolls.

However, unlike magic scrolls, sacred contracts can be written jointly by the people who make the contract. In the end, the contract is established by simply saying "witnessed by the Lord of Glory".

As for breach of contract, the Lord of Glory will not deliberately punish the defaulter, but will give a mark. The next time he comes into contact with the sacred contract, it will be displayed, so that people will know at a glance that this guy has breached the contract.

The cost of breach of contract is not low. Generally speaking, being able to sign a sacred contract shows that you are quite sincere.

The form of the signing is also very interesting. It only requires both parties to copy the agreed content, and there is no need to leave names or emblems.

If there is too much content in the agreement, the contract will be automatically expanded, so there will be no situation where one contract cannot be written.

…

After the butler delivered the deed, a servant moved the writing table and placed it between Chateau and Mrs. Patty. Mrs. Patty wrote first, and then the butler handed it over to Chateau.

Xia Duo took a brief look at the contract and found that it was no different from the previous agreement between the two, and then began to copy Mrs. Patty's handwriting.

By the time Chateau finished copying it, the housekeeper had already left, and Mrs. Patty had also come to his side. Chateau knew the process and stood up. He picked up the copied contract and put half of it in Mrs. Patty's hand.

At the same time, Mrs. Patty could not wait to shout: "Witness the Lord of Glory!"

Before Xia Duo had time to shout, this did not affect the final result. A holy light flashed on the contract, and then the contract was split into two.

He and Mrs. Patty each obtained the contents copied by the other party, but the size of the contract did not change, as if an extra sheet appeared out of thin air.

Seeing this magical scene, Xia Duo couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Lord of Glory. With just one sentence, he could witness the conclusion of the contract and supervise its fulfillment.

After signing the contract, Mrs. Patty seemed very happy, her cheeks were rosy, and she looked very charming. Chateau couldn't help but joke:

"you're so beautiful!"

Unexpectedly, just this sentence made Mrs. Patty's face instantly cool down. Xia Duo realized that he had made a mistake, so he changed the topic and said seriously:

"Now that the contract has been established, the manpower and materials on Madam's side can be prepared. The materials can be replaced first. We must seize the manpower and open up the Saville Territory. We cannot have no one available by then."

When it came to business, Mrs. Patty's face became warmer and asked: "Do you have a specific development plan? When will it start? Where will it start? How will it start? Only after knowing this can I prepare to recruit people."

Territory development is a matter of detail. It has only been a few days since Xia Duo obtained the new territory. Coupled with the influence of the elf mage, the development time is still uncertain, so there is no specific plan.

When Mrs. Patty asked, Shado had no choice but to take out the [Map of Daxia Territory] that Lord Saville had transcribed with magic yesterday and handed it to Mrs. Patty:

"This is a map of the vicinity of the territory. The territory is about 20 miles south of Savile Town. If you have any plans, Madam, please help me think about it."

One person is planning the shortcomings, and two people are planning the strengths. Besides, Mrs. Patty must have a group of subordinates. Xia Duo is ready to see how the plan here is going. If he thinks it is feasible, he will use it. If he thinks it is not feasible, he will change it.

After signing the contract, Xia Duo suddenly felt that he had become Party A's father. He always spent money in advance and did not panic. If Mrs. Patty had already invested a lot, then he would not panic even more.

After making up his mind to squeeze Mrs. Patty, Sha Duo's mentality instantly became much calmer, and the troubles of pioneering that had been weighing on his heart were almost completely gone.

He was even considering whether to become a hands-off shopkeeper.

As long as he holds the title with one hand and magic with the other, he is not afraid of the other party's evil intentions. With this thought, Xia Duo immediately made up his mind:

"Mrs. Patty, I still have things to deal with at the Mage Tower. I will leave the map with Madam for now. I will come back in two days and discuss the specific development plan then."

After saying that, he left directly without giving Mrs. Patty a chance to refuse, leaving Mrs. Patty standing thoughtfully.

…

On the way back, Shado walked slowly. He carefully considered his cooperation with Mrs. Patty, or rather with the Liaton Chamber of Commerce.

First of all, there are common interests between both parties. The shopkeeper can also do it without hand, but he must take the initiative——

The other party must do what he asks the other party to do; rather than the other party making decisions for him.

It's okay to give advice, but he doesn't have to listen either.

Xia Duo used his brain to think about the traps and loopholes that might appear here. Although there was a contract and the identity of the mage and pioneer was guaranteed, people's hearts were unpredictable, and no one could guarantee that the other party would not cheat him.

"You still have to have your own confidants!"

In the end, Xia Duo found that what he lacked was not a collaborator, but someone he could trust and have the most direct contact with the pioneers.

In Sha Duo's opinion, Mrs. Patty is relatively trustworthy, but trustworthiness does not mean that you must trust her or only her.

Checks and balances are valuable experiences left behind by Xia Duo's ancestors for countless years, but Xia Duo is the one who lacks the most trusted confidants. With few cronies at hand, how dare he act like a hands-off boss.

Edrich and the others may be counted as confidants, but this is only limited to within the organization, and the organization does not actually have any actual binding force.

Once they are asked to leave the mage tower and develop their own territory, Sha Duo cannot guarantee that they will agree to such a practical issue.

There are currently no confidants, but Xia Duo can still find a lot of more trustworthy acquaintances. Perhaps he can invite them to join the territory development plan, and then turn them into cronies during the development!

In Xia Duo's view, confidants and confidants, in addition to closeness and trust, are more important - distinguishing superiors and inferiors, priorities, and kings and ministers!

Suddenly, Xia Duo had a hint of the consciousness of a lord.

…

Unknowingly, Xia Duo had arrived at the Mage Tower. It was just the beginning of the month, and the nearly full moon looked particularly bright.

The mage tower in the night seemed to be covered with gauze, cold and mysterious. The blue timing runes on the top of the tower were spinning endlessly. It was close to 8 o'clock at this moment.

Calling the tower spirit to open the door, Xia Duo felt relaxed after returning to the mage tower.

Compared to being busy outside and developing territory, staying in the mage tower to study magic is the most comfortable life. Of course, if there is another Internet to play around with, then this kind of life will really not be changed even by a god.

In the evening, as usual, I made scrolls. Compared with yesterday, I only made four times today, but all four times were successful, which is worthy of encouragement!
