Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 221

Chapter 221: Contract Scrolls
“Did something happen?” Samuel asked as he sheathed his sword back.

“You don’t have to look like you’re seeing an enemy, Sam.” Stephen looked at his friend helplessly. “I just want to ask what do you know about beast master.”

“Beast master?” Samuel arched his eyebrows. “Are you worried about Murin? Don’t worry, if he still wanted to stay in the Magic Association, he had to learn to curb himself and did not cross the lines anymore.”

Because if Murin dared to do that again, it was estimated that there would be more and more people who would protest against the Magic Association. At this stage, Magic Association and Martial Arts Association needed to recruit more people first.

After all, they needed to collect resources and without members to help them, they couldn’t really do anything effectively.

Murin should also understand that since he was not the only person who returned from that world, he was not the strongest. The greatest advantage of a beast master was the fact that they could fight together with their magic beasts. But at the same time, their greatest weakness was their own bodies.

There might be some magic beasts who were also relatively strong but most of the time, the beast masters were not very strong.

After all, the magic contract would make their abilities rely more on their magic beasts.

Unless they could modify those contracts, then it would be possible for them to become much stronger. But from what Samuel knew, it was hard for them to modify those contracts.

Though, he didn’t know the exact details.

After all, Samuel was not a beast master.

“No, it’s not about him.” Stephen shook his head. Being friends with Samuel for a long time, he also understood that Samuel’s strength was far above Murin. If there was anyone who should worry, that would be Murin.

Because if Murin dared to come here again, it was estimated that Samuel would greet him with his sword.

“It’s about my sister. She formed a magic contract with Melly… in case you forget, she’s our family’s dog.”

Samuel was stunned and then asked, “How did you form the contract?”

“A magic scroll?” Stephen replied, his tone was not entirely sure. “She said that Riya gave her a magic scroll that would allow her to establish an equal contact with magic beasts. If she wanted to use it, she just have to tore it apart.”

Sophia didn’t have any mana before.

Now that she had formed contract with Melly, Stephen could faintly feel that both Sophia’s physical strength and mana had grown tremendously. It might not be comparable to him yet, but if Melly continued to get stronger, she might even surpass him.

Moreover, Sophia would not assume the position of a frontline fighter or warrior.

She would stay at the back and command Melly to do things that she wanted to do. In this way, Sophia’s strength was actually enough.

“Magic scroll… ah, the contract scroll…” Samuel’s lips twitched.

He felt that the more he knew Riya, the more he felt that there was nothing that Riya didn’t know.

Oh wrong, she didn’t know how to practice to become warrior.

Because her path was not that of a warrior.

Samuel knew very well that beast master had to learn the contract formation if they wanted to form a contract with magic beasts. But for some people who had no talent to become magician at all, they would have to buy the contract scroll.

If Samuel was not wrong, there were two types of contract scroll. First was the master and slave contract and the other one was the equal contract.

The master and slave contract was cheaper but the chance of failure was also greater.

Because it was basically forcing the magic beast to submit to them. And those who used the contract scrolls were usually ordinary people.

Magic beasts might not have that much intelligence, but they have their own pride or perhaps arrogance would be more accurate. How could they be willing to submit to someone weaker than them?

Thus, the chance of failure was usually higher than 90%.

The other one was the equal contract, which was the magic contract that formed equal relationship between the magic beast and their master. This contract required them to communicate with the magic beast and if they couldn’t convince the magic beast to form the contract, it would end up in failure.

Most of the time, it would be easier for them to form an equal contract with a magic beast that they had emotional bonds with.

For example, Sophia and Melly.

The two of them were close because Sophia basically raised Melly and always played with her dog during vacation. In this way, it would be easier for Sophia to form a contract with Melly.

Of course, not all beast master would use that contract scrolls.

Those who had learned meditation and has mana would prefer to form their own contract through making the formation themselves. The formation was not difficult and even for rune master and formation master, they could learn it at rank 1.

So if they wanted to do it themselves, all they have to do was to make sure their mana reached the rank 1 standard and then studied the formation.

And then they had to make the contract.

There were also many magic tools and potions that could help them to forcefully reach rank 1. Even if those things were also quite expensive, but for those with low to nonexistent talent, it was also an option.

Otherwise, they would have to buy these contract scrolls.

And those contract scrolls were not cheap either.

“I see…” Samuel nodded thoughtfully.

If Riya knew how to make those contract scrolls, she could basically sold them to allow many people to become beast master.

When Samuel thought about this, his expression turned strange.

It seemed that if Riya wanted to, she could absolutely promote magic in the entire world singlehandedly.
