Constructing-Style Wizard - Chapter 493

Chapter 493: 161. “Sacred Position Achievement”_2

Noland Lee rummaged around in the Blood Haven, taking out a barrel-shaped sheepskin parchment.

Soul contracts are widespread in the Realm of Wizards.

As long as during the drafting of the contract, the words “soul contract” are written in the title, the contract will automatically become a soul contract.

Why is it that simply writing “soul contract” in the title can turn a contract into a soul contract?

This is a very mysterious extraordinary phenomenon. Its history can be traced back to ancient times, several eras before the present-day wizard kingdom of Ulnas Circle.

All wizards researching this extraordinary phenomenon eventually gave up because nothing could be learned. This extraordinary phenomenon has thoroughly merged with the natural world, becoming an indivisible part of it.

Over time, soul contracts became one of the natural phenomena.

The soul contract that Noland Lee is holding now was written by himself.

He is the client, and Mabel is Party B.

The client sells knowledge, Party B pays gold coins. Both parties keep this transaction confidential. Whistleblowers will be punished, including but not limited to amnesia, degradation of sensory abilities, forced magic knowledge erasing, spiritual ocean decline, and so on.

In the contract, Noland Lee emphasized one point: he only wants gold coins and nothing else. Even if extremely valuable magical items were in front of him, he would firmly refuse.

The reason is simple:

Things other than gold coins are too easy to be traced, and they are also difficult to liquidate. Moreover, sometimes expensive magical items have unclear origins, easily attracting the attention of Wizard Enforcers.

Noland Lee doesn’t want to become a channel for others to dispose of stolen goods.

So, what kind of knowledge can Noland Lee sell?

Death-related spells? Psychic spells? Or spells from the Night Spirit Branch?

None of them.

Directly selling spell blueprints is akin to courting death.

Imagine if a buyer knew that Noland Lee could sell spell blueprints, what would she think?

She would definitely worry if her own wizard force’s spells would appear on Noland Lee’s product list, which would hinder the transaction and create a rift between her and Noland Lee.

In an extreme case, the buyer may pretend to trade but secretly collect evidence of Noland’s crimes to report to the Wizard Enforcement Department.

Such action would amount to betraying Noland Lee and be punished by the soul contract.

However, as long as the rewards given by the Wizard Enforcement Department and their own wizard forces can compensate for the punishment of the soul contract, some people will certainly do it.

In order to minimize the possibility of betrayal by the buyer and indirectly increase the cost of intentionally violating the soul contract, Noland Lee decides:

Currently, only knowledge skills will be sold.

Once the buyer reaches a certain level of spending with him, Noland Lee will sell magic array blueprints to the buyer.

For this purpose, Noland Lee has designed a membership system.

This membership system will gradually improve with the expansion of the number of buyers.

Now, there is no need for Noland Lee to include the membership system in the contract since he currently only has Mabel as a customer.

“Mabel, in the soul contract, I only mentioned that I can sell magical knowledge not involving magic array blueprints, but I didn’t elaborate on what those knowledge items are.”

Noland Lee said calmly:

“After you sign this contract, I will show you the selectable knowledge. If you’re unsatisfied with the knowledge I provide, our transaction will be terminated. According to Article 3 of the contract, ‘if the parties do not reach a transaction, the buyer does not need to pay any fees but must keep the seller’s provided knowledge list confidential. Otherwise, the buyer shall be punished according to the terms of Article 4.’ The knowledge list itself is also protected by the soul contract. I hope you understand this, ma’am.”

Mabel stared at the contract and nodded thoughtfully:

“Alright, Ray Lee. I see that clause. In addition to that clause, I also noticed a particular contract term.”

Mabel held the soul contract and read it word by word:

“The parties cannot use this soul contract as a threat to force the other party or someone closely related to the other party to work for them.”

Mabel put down the soul contract:

“It’s clear that you’ve thought things through, considering all sorts of obscure situations. I’m willing to sign this soul contract.”

“I’m glad you can accept it.” Noland Lee raised his hand, pointed at a clause in the contract, and said:

“But I have to remind you, did you notice Article 1, section 3? This article is about the transaction process. The way I provide you knowledge will also be protected by the contract. If you accidentally reveal the way I provide knowledge, you will also be punished by the contract.”

Mabel glanced at the contract:

“Yes, I noticed. I’m curious about how special your way of providing knowledge is. You can’t really transfer knowledge like a professor, can you?”

Noland Lee smiled mysteriously and said nothing.

Without saying anything else, Mabel grabbed the magic pen and wrote her name on the contract.

The contract turned into a white light, split into two, and shot into their heads.

Accompanied by a message from the system, the transaction contract between Noland Lee and Mabel officially took effect.
