Age of Adepts
chapter-98

“You mean, the minimum requirement to join this competition is being an official Adept? Could it be… could it be…” Greem spoke hesitatingly, as he recalled some relevant content from the vast information about the Adept World he had stored in his mind.

“That’s right. The competition I want you to participate in is the Advancement Competition of Profound Adepts, which will be held in the Sky City in five years. As long as you can help us, the Byron family maintain our selling rights in the Sky City, when everything is over, our family will also reward you with a great gift.”

“I see what you mean now, what you need is a promise. As long as I can promise you that I’ll become an official Adept within three years and represent the Byron family to participate in that competition, you’ll provide us with three years of protection. This is a deal where both of us benefit and fulfills the usual practices of fair deals between Adepts. Hence, I accept the deal!”

“Hehe, excellent! Remember, you will only have three years. Once that Toril becomes an official Adept, the agreement between us will be voided. After all, no one is willing to had a fall out with a Bloodline Adept who is a good fighter.”

Looking at Greem’s seemingly sincere expression, Adept Angus waved his hand, and a clump of gray smoke instantly exploded in front of Greem, before condensing into a magical contract within a split second.

Greem took a step forward and seriously and detailedly read the magical contract multiple times. After making sure there weren’t any wording or style traps, he carefully inked his magical mark.

Under normal situations, when a spell caster signed a contract, they disliked leaving behind their soul mark. Though that provided a higher binding effect, it made it rather easy for an outsider to obtain his soul aura. Therefore, in order to deal with such situations, Adepts had created the magical mark. It was a special mark formed with the individual’s unique Spirit wave and the energy of their element.

With that, not only did they not have to worry about someone obtaining their aura and using it against him, it was also impossible to fake by someone else. That was why it had become accepted by all spell casters.
