Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 233: Chapter 131: The Contract Book That Must Never Be Broken!

David furrowed his brow; the Spirit Contract indeed seems to only work on Magical Beasts, and the process is more complex and dangerous than anticipated.

...

Inside the City Hall.

David and Reina were discussing their next move.

The words of this Knight should largely be true, David could discern that.

Moreover, the information he held could generally determine which Lords this Knight had already swayed.

It’s just uncertain if there are any hidden agendas in his words.

If among his ten sentences there was one deception, it would be hard to notice.

Ultimately, they decided to wait a bit longer.

"Have someone disguise him, so the Silver Moon Royal Family doesn’t find out this Knight is dead."

David instructed, wanting to see what the Silver Moon Kingdom’s next move would be to avoid alerting them too soon.

"Okay." Reina nodded and immediately set off to make arrangements.

Time was pressing, and as David watched Reina’s departing figure, he could only let this little white rabbit go for now.

Then he stood up.

The situation was urgent, he felt he needed to do something too.

Leaving a note on the table saying he would go ahead, David left the City Hall for the Wizard Castle.

...

Inside the study of the Wizard Castle.

Annie was reading the contents of the Summoning Book.

Her strength had now reached Tier Four, allowing her to learn new Summoning Arrays.

Seeing Lord Duke return early, Annie was a bit surprised, then quickly went to greet him.

"Lord Duke, why have you come back?" she inquired softly.

"Nothing, just missed you." David said.

Annie’s face flushed, as she let Lord Duke lead her to the desk.

David did not immediately begin his Cultivation but discussed the matter of the Spirit Contract with Annie.

How to use the Spirit Contract Ability to form contracts between people was a topic they had recently been discussing.

If he could master this Spirit Contract Ability, David could directly perform Spirit Contracts with those Lords who did not yet pledge loyalty to him.

In this way, he could completely control them without resorting to force.

"Perhaps, we need to elevate the Spirit Contract to the Extraordinary Level first."

David thought to himself, as he lifted Annie and placed her on the desk.

"Now, do as I say." he whispered.

Annie blushed but obediently allowed Lord Duke to position her in a peculiar manner.

[You’ve completed a Cultivation session, Spirit Contract Talent +586]

And so, time passed little by little.

Through small and steady progress, his Spirit Contract Talent finally met the breakthrough requirement.

"Phew."

David exhaled a breath of satisfaction.

Seeing this, Annie quickly asked, "Did you break through?"

This period, for the sake of practicing with Annie more often, David had mentioned his efforts to break through his Spirit Contract Talent.

"Yes, it’s broken through."

David nodded.

Annie breathed a sigh of relief; any more of that, and she truly would have been unable to keep up.

Although she herself gained a lot over this time, she still hoped to take things gradually and steadily.

David told Annie to rest well, and he walked to sit by the window.

Then he opened the system panel, and with a thought, began the breakthrough for the Spirit Contract Talent directly.

David felt a powerful Spiritual Power surge from within, crashing against his Spiritual World.

His whole body tightened, his face turning pale instantly, but he grit his teeth, guiding this power step-by-step to circulate and converge within.

Every surge of spiritual power seemed to engrave marks deep within his soul, making his consciousness sharper and more resilient.

Gradually, he entered a wondrous state, akin to Meditation, sensing his spiritual power infinitely expanding, with his Spiritual World expanding alongside it.

[Spirit Contract Talent: Extraordinary (125/1000000), gained Talent Ability: Heart of Contract]

With the breakthrough of the Spirit Contract Talent, countless pieces of information flooded into his mind like a tide.

This information included methods of more efficiently conducting Spirit Contracts, and a deeper understanding of the essence behind Soul Contracts, and so on.

Heart of Contract: Establish a deep Soul Link through forming a contract with the target.

David opened his eyes, recalling the information within his mind, a gleam suddenly appearing in his eyes.

"Lord Duke, how was it?" Annie asked expectantly.

David, upon hearing this, suddenly lifted Annie, spinning her around in a circle.

"It’s great."

He put Annie down, unable to suppress a smile across his face.

The Heart of Contract actually allowed him to form a direct Soul Link through making an agreement with a target!

This made him think of a thing used by Wizards called the Contract Book.

It is said that the ancient and mysterious Wizards could bind souls and enforce unbreakable terms by writing agreements in the Contract Book.

"It’s just like the Contract Book used by Wizards."

David murmured to himself.

He realized that if he could apply this ability properly, he could not only enhance his strength but also form an incredibly loyal and powerful team!

"Lord Duke, does this mean we can expand our territories more safely?"

Annie evidently also realized the immense potential of this ability, her eyes gleaming with hope and excitement.

"That’s right." David nodded.

Thinking of this, he decided to start experimenting immediately.

Then, he walked to the desk, thought for a while, and directly wrote a contract.
