Chapter 365: Kurna’s Temporary Covenant
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After careful consideration, Angor decided to make a covenant with Shadow.
Compared to swearing to the world’s consciousness, a written magic covenant was better and more convenient for restricting apprentices.
To apprentices, who didn’t know how to check the “integrity” of a contract by communicating with the world’s consciousness, it was easy to leave “bugs” by using tricky words. This was why Angor chose to use a weaker but safer approach with Shadow.
Of course, Shadow could also attempt to leave defects when writing down a covenant. To prevent this, Angor was going to copy something he saw from a wizard magazine before, which had been proved to be almost perfect.
[Kurna’s Agreement, Signed at the Crypt of the Tyrant of Despair]
With the hope of regulating each others’ actions, an apprentice named Kurna created this contract with his companion before they explored the catacomb of an ancient wizard “Tyrant of Despair”.
It was already relatively complete when it was created thousands of years ago. After that, more and more people did all kinds of revisions to it, making it better and better.
Shadow managed to recover some mana and stopped all heavy bleeding. He adjusted his mood and finally chose to talk. “Tough luck, me. I’ve been at my plan freely in these parts for all these years, and something happened at the most critical point. Well, I can’t say no to our agreement so… tell me what you want to know.”
“I have two reasons for following Magician here. First, I need to get out of Fairy World, so I need a map,” Angor said. He then paused and considered for a moment before he said, “A map of the other areas of Fey Continent would be better.”
“I can give you the map of Fairy World, but I don’t have the other one. It’s not like I can just give you the map of Fey Continent for free anyway. Where do you want to go by the way? I might be able to just tell you the direction.”
Angor thought about his options. He didn’t know many places on Fey Continent. He had been staying inside Brute Cavern for a year without traveling around much.
Should he say Brute Cavern? Or Floating Mech City?
Angor wasn’t sure if he could make it to the purification garden on time since he had no idea how far he was from Floating Mech City.
“I’ll tell you later. My second goal today is to exchange for some materials.”
“Materials, huh? I can trade with you if you need something from me.” Shadow nodded.
Angor handed Shadow a list.
“Mystic Fog Strings, 37 standard units. Hairy Orchid Gravel, 20 cups. Mystic Fog Gel, 1 unit…” Shadow slowly read through the list as his expression turned from neutral to surprise. “High Bronze, 9 kilograms. Standard density Meteorite, 1 cubic. Glum Wood…
“These are nontiered, but you need too much. I don’t have enough right now. Why do you need them anyway? You trying to become an alchemist too?”
“‘Too’?”
“Well, I know many people who want to do that stuff.”
“You included?”
Shadow shook his head. “Nah, I’m not talented. And I don’t feel like shutting myself in a lab room to imagine things all day.”
