Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

Ned and Vesey's castle, inside the living room.

After a suffocating silence, Wei Xi spoke to Alai as if he couldn't feel the stagnant air in the room, easily breaking the embarrassment.

"Then Alai, would you mind chatting with me? Actually, this is the first time I've met someone who is also a 'partner' of the Dragon Clan. How did you and Ned decide to sign the contract?"

The so-called reliable adult men are talking about people like Wei Xi, what a sense of peace of mind!It was a world of difference from Ned, who didn't even tell him he had an older brother.

"To be honest, I don't know how Ned and I signed the contract." Alai recalled the process of signing the contract with Ned, and couldn't figure out how they signed the contract successfully.

Thinking of this, Alai finally couldn't help asking Weixi in doubt. "Actually, I have long wanted to ask, what is the so-called dragon contract?"

Although Ned always talks about 'partner' and 'contract', he really doesn't know what kind of existence this is. Why does Ned have to be tied to him after signing the contract?

"Didn't I tell you? A contract is the way the Dragon Clan signs a 'partner'." Ned said to Ah Lai from the side.

Isn't a contract just a contract?What is there to say about this kind of topic? After all, it's because the elder brother asked about the ceremony just now, and he knew that every time he came to him, there would be no good.

"I'm not asking this. I want to ask about the origin, history, and specific content of the contract. For example: Why did the Dragon Clan sign the contract? What exactly does the 'partner' do? Every time I ask you these questions, you will only know Shake your head."

Now that the contract has been signed, at least you have to figure out what you are signing.Now that such a great opportunity is in front of him, of course he has to ask clearly.

"That's because I really don't know." Ned said aggrievedly, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but Alai quickly glared at him, and he obediently closed his mouth again.

"Sorry, I interrupted the conversation just now. I want to ask what is the contract with the Dragon Clan." Seeing that Ned had finally calmed down, Alai turned around and asked Wei Xi again.

Seriously, since this so-called 'contract' is so important, at least write a manual!

"It's okay." Wei Xi took a sip of tea, and laughed while watching the interaction between Alai and Ned. "Before I answer your question, I want to know, how much do you know about the contract of the Dragon Clan?" Weixi asked Alai.

"In fact, there are almost none. I also tried to inquire through other channels, but I don't know why I couldn't find it at all. Ned only told me that the contract is a very important tradition of the Dragon Clan, and every Dragon Clan who is about to grow up will look for one." "Partner" is bound, and once the "partner" is confirmed, it cannot be changed." A Lai replied hesitantly.

Thinking about it this way, this ceremony is simply an overlord clause. It binds the two races together and cannot be replaced. What is the benefit?

"What he said is basically correct. It's just that Ned didn't tell you that the reason why the Dragon Clan is looking for a 'partner' may not be clear to him himself."

Having said that, Weixi put down the teacup and glanced at Ned who was obediently sitting next to him.

"As we all know, the dragon race is a very powerful race. They are inherently stronger than most creatures, whether it is magic, physical attack, physique, or even memory."

Nino, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help sitting up straight when he heard this, with a slight smile in his eyes inadvertently.

"But at the same time, they are not invincible. In fact, the spiritual power of all dragons is unstable. The stronger the dragon, the more unstable it is, and this instability will become more and more obvious as the dragon itself grows. Therefore , all dragons who are about to grow up will look for 'partners' to sign a contract to stabilize their spiritual power."

"Is it like the 'magic wand' used by some magicians? Something like sorting out one's own spiritual power?" Alai gave an example.

"No, it's not." Weixi shook her head, trying to explain this complicated relationship.

"In fact, this is more like a 'symbiotic relationship'. The 'partners' will help the Dragon Clan by sharing their spiritual power, so your spirits are connected. Once either of you dies, the other will die too."

"Because our spiritual power is linked together?" Alai asked.

"Yes! Of course, this is not the unilateral contribution of the 'partner'. Most dragons will promise to share their life, strength, wealth, etc. with their 'partner' when signing the contract." Weixi spread his hands, Pointing to himself and Nino said.

This sounds too unreliable, it's basically a joke about my 'Long Sheng', if the 'partner' I find is a scumbag, wouldn't it be game over in the future?

"Then what if we don't make a contract with a 'partner'?" Alai asked, instead of looking for the head office, didn't Ned say from the beginning that he didn't plan to find a 'partner'?

"Hmm... As far as I know, if the contract is not made, the dragons will stay in their infancy for self-protection. After that, their magic and body will gradually weaken, and they will probably return to 1/10 of their original strength." Wei Xi thought for a while and replied.

"Sounds like it's okay? I mean, at least it's not life-threatening."

"That's not true. After all, most of the dragons are more... straightforward." Weixi glanced at Ned, then glanced at Nino from the corner of her eye, smiled and continued.

"In short, there are quite a lot of races that don't like dragons. In addition, dragons are actually quite valuable. Blood, scales, skin, meat, and bones can all be sold at high prices. If they become weaker, basically they can only be sold in order to save their lives. The dragons gather to live in hiding. So the dragons will start looking for 'partners' before they reach adulthood."

When Wei Xi said this, he raised his index finger and made a 'shh' gesture. "That's why you can't find relevant information in other places. After all, it's about the survival of the race. It's the secret of the Dragon Clan."

If this is the case, once he unbinds with Ned, wouldn't Ned have to be cool if he can't find someone to bind him again?

"Then what will happen after the contract? I mean, even if the contract is concluded, you should be able to leave the 'partner'. Everyone lives their own lives, right?" Alai asked again.

"There are indeed such examples, but I don't recommend them very much. Take you and Ned as an example. The contract will make you closely connected, share each other's spirit, and even affect each other's emotions. If you are too far away , one party is attacked, it is easy to affect the safety of the other party. And the "partners" of the Dragon Clan are not so easy to find, don't you think that anyone can successfully contract with the Dragon Clan?"? ? ?

"Isn't it?" Isn't he just bound to Ned casually?

"Of course not. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for the Dragon Clan to find a suitable 'partner'. First of all, the other party must have the same spiritual power as the Dragon Clan. Second, after all, this is a matter of life, and both parties must have extreme trust. Only the other party will do. Some Dragon Clan will never even find a 'partner' who can make a contract."

As Weixi said, he pointedly glanced at Nino who was sitting on the sofa without saying a word.

"But even so, this so-called 'ceremony' is too casual! I met Ned for the first time, and we were contracted out of nowhere." Since it is such an important ceremony, it should be more reliable and confirm several times Will you die?

"But the situation you mentioned is absolutely impossible." Wei Xi said firmly.

"First of all, the contract ceremony requires the blood of both parties to blend, and the dragons will basically not be injured, so it is difficult for accidents to happen in this part."

Ah, but accidents just happened - thanks to a certain dragon.

"Secondly, even if the blood of the two parties is accidentally fused, the following ceremony also requires both parties to make a promise and agree to share everything. As far as I know, the Dragon Clan is not a race that likes to share."

Yeah, I don't like sharing much.Hearing this, Alai closed his eyes in despair.

"The most important thing is that the contract is very unstable when it is first established. It will take about 3 days to stabilize. During this process, if one of the two parties repents, it can be terminated at any time."

Hmm, you are right, it can be lifted...

"Wait, did you just say that the contract can be terminated at any time after three days?" What is this, he has never heard of it!In those three days, apart from eating and drinking at his house, this guy didn't even mention anything that could be resolved!

"—Ned!" This guy must have done it on purpose!

"Wait, Lai! This is the first time I've heard of this." Ned swallowed the cake in his mouth and explained in a panic.

He had no intention of finding a 'partner' at all, how could he know so much.And at that time, there were so many delicious foods in Alai's house, Alai... Alai didn't know why he was so kind to him at the time, he didn't even have the idea of ​​getting rid of it, so why would he find a way to get rid of it.

"Really?" Alai narrowed his eyes, carefully observing Ned's expression.

But according to this guy's usual performance, it's not surprising that he doesn't know.And after he concluded the contract, he didn't particularly reject it for some reason.But to be on the safe side, it's better to ask.

"Then can we still cancel the contract now?" Alai just asked Weixi when he saw Ned froze.

There's nothing to be nervous about. After signing the contract, he never once said that he would cancel it.

"It's not impossible, but the dragon clan can only make a contract once in a lifetime... so." Wei Xi couldn't help but put down the tea cup he had been holding all the time, and he hesitated.

"That is to say, once the contract is lifted, Ned can't make a contract with other people, and can only face the end of gradually weakening, right?" On the stranger, who obviously has a chance to get rid of it but doesn't know how to ask, should Ned be called stupid?

"...Alai." Ned looked at Alai who was lost in thought, and called out hesitantly.

Alai looked up at Ned. This guy looked like a cub trapped in a maze, not sure which way to run to find the exit.

It turned out that he would still show such an expression...

"I'm just asking, who said they're going to terminate the contract with you." Alai said awkwardly.

Although this silly dragon is really annoying sometimes, it has thick lines, only knows how to eat and eat, and always looks stupid...

"Don't forget, we plan to start a company together. You have been eating and drinking at my house for so long. I won't let you go before I earn back my money." But in fact, living with him is not that bad .

"—Alai!" Did Alai mean what he understood?Can he take this as a promise?

Ned reacted on the spot for a while, then rushed towards Alai excitedly, turned into a dragon, picked him up in one mouthful, and rushed out of the window.

The author has something to say:

The great magician Alai VS the childish Dragon Clan, they still have a long way to go :)
