Chapter 13 The Contract of the Tower

Are you the roundworm in my belly? Li Yuan thought to himself.

He was worried that if he took the initiative to bring it up, he might arouse Zhenna's wariness. It was just right for Shitou to throw out this proposal at this time.

But he didn't understand what Shitou meant by "contract", and it sounded like letting Zhenna live there would also help with the repair of the tower?

Many questions emerged in his mind, but he still took advantage of this opportunity to seize the topic.

"That's what I think about it too." He turned his gaze to Zhenna, "How about you stay here first and at least heal your injuries?"

"But, won't this bring you trouble?" Zhenna hesitated.

Unknowingly, she no longer doubted the other party's intentions.

She doesn't have much power to resist now. If this red dragon had evil intentions, he would have taken action long ago.

"I have already waded into this muddy water. It doesn't make much difference whether you leave or not. On the contrary, if you stay here, we can take care of each other - just like today, I think we are working together quite well. ." Li Yuan pointed back and forth at Zhenna and himself.

"And guest, the Endless Tower has a fairly complete defense system. If you stay here as a guest, you can also let the Endless Tower provide more protection for the owner and you. By signing a membership contract with us, it can be said that you will make a sure profit without losing money."

Shitou echoed like a salesman at this time.

You actually have the nerve to mention this?

Li Yuan complained in his heart.

"So what is that contract?" Zhenna blinked at Li Yuan with some confusion.

I want to know too.

Li Yuan, who knew nothing about it, had no way of answering this question, but he still pretended to be nonchalant and ordered Shitou: "Come and explain it to her."

"OK."

Shitou replied respectfully, and then began to explain to Zhenna:

"Simply put, you can sign a contract with this Endless Tower, and you will be recognized as a member of the Endless Tower, and some of the residents' permissions will be opened to you. If you are within the influence of the tower's power , Endless Tower will try its best to ensure your safety.

Correspondingly, when the Endless Tower encounters threats from foreign enemies, you must also protect the safety of the tower. During your stay in the tower, the Endless Tower will also extract part of your magic power and store it for use in the Endless Tower. The operation of the tower."

Does it turn out that this tower operates by extracting the magic power from the members?

This was the first time Li Yuan knew about this.

According to this logic, the more or more powerful people live in the tower, the function of the tower will also increase?

"Did this ruins turn out to be a mage tower?" Zhenna asked.

"The Endless Tower is not just a 'mage' tower, but if it is easier for you to understand, you can also identify it as such." Shitou replied.

"Then the contract you just mentioned, is it similar to...a devil's contract?" Zhenna became a little wary again.

The devil's contract often offers very tempting conditions, but the terms often contain many literal traps, and the final price is the soul of the person who signed the contract.

"Don't worry, it's just a simple contract. It doesn't have any twisted word games, and it doesn't require you to pledge anything important. And except for emergencies that require you to fulfill your obligations, you can choose to terminate the contract at any time."

After Shitou finished speaking, he turned to Li Yuan: "My lord, please invoke the authority of [Member Contract] and let the guests check the contents of the contract!"

Permissions?

It took Li Yuan a second to react. This time, he directly summoned the permission book in his mind, and then flipped through it in his mind.

After understanding that he and the Book of Authority had become one, he actually no longer needed to summon the entity of the Contract Book to check its contents in his consciousness.

Then he discovered that in the permission book, there were two more entries on the page with the permission list:

【Member Contract】

【Prisoner's Contract】

Two permissions were suddenly added because someone who could sign the contract appeared in front of me?

By the way, what is this prisoner's contract?

As he thought about it, the contents of the "Prisoner's Contract" emerged in his mind:

From the moment the contract is signed, the person who signed the contract (hereinafter referred to as the contractor) will be taken into custody by the Endless Tower as a prisoner. His soul, body and all valuable existences attached to him will become the subsidiary assets of the Endless Tower.

The holder of the book, that is, the owner of the Endless Tower (hereinafter referred to as the tower owner), has full authority to manage it, and the contractor has no right to interfere without the permission of the tower owner;

The contractor cannot disobey the tower owner's orders, and must execute the tower owner's orders with the highest priority in this contract;

The contractor will be continuously monitored within the scope of [Watcher], and the contractor cannot leave the scope of [Watcher] without permission, regardless of whether [Watcher] is operating normally;

The contractor must not take any action that will adversely affect the tower owner or the Endless Tower;

Contractors must safeguard the interests and safety of the Endless Tower and the tower owner at all costs at all times;

On the premise of not affecting the operation of body functions, within the extraction range of the Endless Tower, the contractor must provide the magic power or vitality that it can bear for the operation of the Endless Tower;

Under the premise of not violating the above contract, the contractor will receive minimum protection within the scope of influence of the Endless Tower;

The tower owner has the right to change and adjust the contents of this contract and retains all rights of interpretation.

This is basically a slave's contract of sale... Li Yuan thought to himself after reading it.

The so-called prisoner contract actually makes the contractor the property of the owner of the Endless Tower. The contractor is a prisoner imprisoned in the tower and the slave of the tower owner.

In Helganon's memory, there was indeed a dungeon-like room beneath the tower.

With such a design, the past owner of this tower was probably a ruthless character.

If such a contract was thrown out, Zhenna would probably risk her life with him.

He tried to check the [Member Contract] again.

In contrast, the content of the "Member Contract" is much more normal, and the content is basically the same as what Shitou explained before.

Signing the membership contract means becoming a member of the Endless Tower and you will obtain the right of residence in the Endless Tower. On the premise of ensuring the safety of the tower owner, the Endless Tower will also try its best to ensure the safety of its members.

Members will also be assigned to a limited private space and enjoy the right to privacy in this space. On the premise of not violating the contract, they can make the private space invisible to [Watchers].

There are several rights protections like this, and members can even order [Butlers] to serve them.

At the same time, members will also have the obligation to protect the Endless Tower and the tower owner with all their strength, and they need to provide energy for the Endless Tower.

Once a member violates the contract, or refuses to perform his obligations despite the ability, all rights and interests will be revoked, and the Endless Tower will also draw a large amount of the contractor's magic power and vitality as punishment.

Modifying the content of the contract requires the agreement of both the tower owner and the members. Both the tower owner and the members can terminate the contract at the appropriate time.

It can be said that the relationship between tower owners and "members" is a bit like landlords and tenants, and a bit like employees and bodyguards, with relatively equal status.

After reading it, Li Yuan tried to retrieve the [Member Contract] with Zhenna as the target.
