Arcane Lord

The signing process using a sacred contract is simpler than using an elemental contract or the contract magic of elves. Both parties only need to copy the agreed content or cast a spell to transcribe it on the contract document. As long as the agreed content of both parties is consistent, the contract will take effect.

If you want to play word games, during the process of writing the contract, the contract will not be effective due to differences in the understanding of the contract text between the two parties.

It can be said that as long as the contract is effective, it must be the consensus of both parties.

The only signee on Shado's side was Shado himself, but on the Mairead family side, in addition to Amul Pasha, there was also Taraf's father and two brothers.

Although the subsidiary signature seems to bear unnecessary responsibilities, on the other hand, this is also the unique power of the family heir. If Amul abdicates in the future, the cooperation between the two parties can still continue and the contract will still be valid.

If it was a subsidiary signature of Taraf, then Taraf's father and brother might have doubted Amul Pasha's determination in selecting his successor.

…

Shado signed a total of three agreements in Calimshan. One was a framework agreement on the cooperation between the Great Xia Kingdom and the Mairead family. It not only covered the transfer of elemental ranch technology, but also the subsequent arcanium crystallization and elemental soul trade.

There are also research areas such as bloodline research and elemental spells, as well as consistency in dealing with the problem of demons and the Dragon Madness Mystery Lock crisis.

One is a transfer agreement on the technology and facilities related to the Element Ranch. This agreement basically has no requirements for Shado. It is mainly to determine the details of the Mairead family's establishment of an intermediate element ranch for the Tower of Time.

Finally, of course, the Mairead family attaches great importance to the agreement on the pricing and trading of arcane crystals. Arcane crystals can replace gems as the main feed of the elemental ranch, and the effect is better.

In other aspects, arcane crystals can also play an important role, such as serving as an energy buffer core, serving as an instant energy supplement for large-power spells, and so on.

The most critical thing in this agreement is not the superficial parameters such as pricing and transaction volume, but the stipulation that the Mairead family can only use these arcane crystals for their own use and cannot resell them.

Similarly, the Mairead family requires that if Shado sells arcane crystals to other parties in the future, the price must not be lower than the price quoted to the Mairead family.

With the signing of the three agreements, the relationship between Chateau and the Mairead family has reached a new level and entered a new stage of partnership.

…

In addition, outside of the agreement, the Mairead family also made a proposal regarding the pricing of Northland energy gems.

Now, Erlan in the Northland Alliance has begun to introduce elemental towers from Calimshan, not to mention that there are now a large number of elemental towers in Calimshan.

Netheril, on the other hand, has mastered the more efficient Mythra.

It is foreseeable that in the future, the energy gems in the Western Continent and even the entire main plane will be monopolized by the output of the Elemental Tower and Mythra. Then the two parties with the largest production capacity can reach an agreement on the pricing of these energy gems in advance.

Even if the Elemental Tower and Mythra spread in the future, the price alliance that has been established will not be easily broken up and can continue to dominate.

So the Mairead family, on behalf of the Grand Vizier of Calimshan, proposed an invitation to Shado for cooperation. Shado agreed, because this was what he wanted to do, but he originally only considered Myser from Netheril. Pull the holder side.

It doesn't matter if there is an extra Calimshan now. The Elemental Tower does have the potential to compete with Mythra. Maybe it is not as good as Mythra now, but who can guarantee it in the future?

Or to take a step back, Calimshan's elemental towers have been built in large numbers and are already in stable production, while Mythra in Netheril has not been fully deployed and only a few people have it.

If we really want to determine production capacity based on the total energy output per unit time, the current Netheril may not be as good as Calimshan.

Why did Erlan want to introduce the Elemental Tower? It was just to get more energy gems, and what are energy gems generally used for?

In the past, Northland's output and consumption had long been balanced. If Erlan wanted to increase output, it would be hard not to think of an arms race.

It is also foreseeable that not only the Erlan family will introduce the Elemental Tower in the future, but some countries may even obtain a stable supply of arcane crystals from Netheril through various methods.

In this case, it is equivalent to dividing the market between Calimshan and Netheril. If both parties are not prepared to fight to the end, then it is completely understandable to agree on the bottom line of competition in advance or even form a price alliance.

…

Shado stayed in Calimshan for about a week. During this period, he not only traveled in the territory of the Mairead family, but also met with many members of the Calimshan family in Calim. vizier.

As proposed by the Mairead family, the Grand Vizier also mentioned the invitation to cooperate with Shado to establish an energy gem price alliance, and mentioned that Calimshan would send representatives to Netheril to discuss the matter in the near future.

Faced with the Grand Vizier himself, Chateau did not express his position on the spot. He only said that he would convey the matter to the Sevington Parliament for discussion and decision.

…

After the Avatar returned to the territory, he continued to Everriska without any delay. During the Avatar's visit to Calimshan, news came from Everriska -

The Northland Alliance is willing to make an exception for Xia Duo, but in fact it is not entirely an exception.

Xia Duo himself will not join the Time Magic Research Lab, but will provide Lingsi Network services to the lab in the form of outsourcing. This result can be said to be beyond Xia Duo's expectations.

He originally thought that the Northern Alliance would abide by the principles, but he did not expect that they would play such tricks. Although this matter is very helpful for him to understand the progress of the Northern Alliance's Time Magic Research in a timely manner, no matter what, if he can be put in, the demons may also be put in.

The specific situation needs to be seen after joining the lab. Xia Duo only hopes that the lab can continue to study peacefully, instead of enduring the destruction of the demons every day.

...

In the Tower of Time, a week is almost a drop in the bucket for the study of the power of order, but Xia Duo is not completely without any gains, but a huge gain.

The original Langas witchcraft brought him a new perspective of perception. In terms of the study of the power of order, the biggest gain is to determine the next research direction, that is, the "tug-of-war" between the will of the caster and the rules of the power of order.

Of course, before starting formal research, Xia Duo needed to turn the power of order back into its original power, so during this week, he tried to use various methods to disintegrate the already formed order cycle.

Including but not limited to reversely promoting the order power cycle, issuing new decrees, splitting the types of order power, and so on.
