Chapter 128 Ancient God Contract
"Are you still keeping secrets from me?"
Looking at Jia Na's evasive expression, Vivian pursed her lips and held Jia Na's arm stubbornly, refusing to let go.
"The Principal wants me to perform well, saying that in the future he might recommend me to participate in the Dordogne-White Tower Trial."
"White Tower Trial?"
Hearing Jia Na's answer, Vivian's expression suddenly froze.
"If you pass, does that mean you'll have to go to Dordogne for further studies?"
"Sort of, but you have to pass the trial first, otherwise it's just wishful thinking—"
At this moment, Vivian's ears seemed to have activated a white noise filter. Except for the first half of Jia Na's sentence, the rest of the sounds went into Vivian's ears without even pausing, and then floated out directly through the other ear.
"That means—we're going to be separated?" "Vivian?"
"Ah, I'm fine."
Looking at Vivian's slightly flustered expression, Jia Na, who had guessed a few things, couldn't help but smile.
"What's wrong? Are you reluctant to part with me?"
"Yes, I'm reluctant to part with you."
Hearing Vivian's undisguised and direct answer, Jia Na was slightly taken aback, and her playful smile gradually faded a little.
The two stood silently at the entrance of the Magic Tower for several seconds. It was Jia Na who first broke the silence between them, looking directly at Vivian and saying seriously:
"Since that's the case, let's both participate in the trial together."
"I'm not you, I can't—"
"Then give it a try."
Her hands were gently held, and feeling the slightly cold touch from Jia Na's palms, Vivian, with her eyes lowered, couldn't help but sigh.
"Then you have to wait for me—even if you can't wait, I hope—you can also look back at me in the future."
"I won't wait for you."
Hearing Jia Na's quiet answer, Vivian, who didn't see the other party's expression, felt a sudden jolt in her heart.
"Because I know that you will be the friend who fights alongside me."
【Voice of Nature: Reduces the listener's guardedness, thus achieving a degree of spiritual comfort.】
"Jia Na—"
For some reason, every time Vivian heard Jia Na's voice, her originally gloomy mood was like a dark cloud pierced by sunlight, as if her entire heart was fiercely kneaded by an invisible hand.
Without any resistance, her defenses were easily broken.
"It's getting late, let's go back."
"Okay—let's go back together!"
Holding Jia Na's arm tightly, as Vivian's lips curved into a smile, a flame called "urgency" had already ignited fiercely in her heart.
Two years, she only had two years.
If she couldn't reach that level, Vivian would have to re-accept her ordinariness and the fact that they would eventually separate one day.
Although she didn't want to face it, the path of a Wizard was destined to be cruel and lonely.
It would never open its doors to you out of pity. It would always favor the one blessed by talent and effort.
Just like—. She was like that.
"I'm leaving now, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
After saying goodbye to Vivian, Jia Na also took the elevator back to the dormitory.
"On the path to eternal life and transcendence, loneliness, perhaps, is the main theme for most—but, I hope I'm not."
Taking off her wizard robe and placing the magic scroll on the experimental table, Jia Na sighed silently and sat quietly on the chair.
It wasn't until a moment later that Jia Na, who had been slightly lost in thought, refocused her attention on the magic scroll she had spread out before her.
"Ancient God Contract—"
Softly reading the name of the Magic written in Mithris Language on the scroll, Jia Na couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"Ancient God Contract—Is this a new field of Contract Studies? Why has the Principal never mentioned it before?"
When Jia Na first attended the 【Contract Studies】 course, Anthony-Black Sparrow had roughly introduced the types of Contract Witchcraft to the apprentices taking the course.
Based on the contract object and summoning ritual, the field of Contract Studies can be divided into two types:
The first type, which is also more common, is 【Contract Summoning】 and 【Elf Summoning】;
The second type, which is relatively special, includes 【Shadow Summoning】, 【Undead Summoning】, 【Ghost Summoning】, 【Sacrifice Summoning】, 【Prayer Summoning】, etc.
What Jia Na currently mastered were the low-level summoning rituals in 【Contract Summoning】 and 【Elf Summoning】.
In addition, Jia Na had also witnessed Bell-Moonshadow's 【Shadow Summoning】, Anthony-Black Sparrow's 【Undead Summoning】, and Pading-Green, the Ghost Child of Black Bone Forest,'s 【Ghost Summoning】.
As for 【Sacrifice Summoning】 and 【Prayer Summoning】, they belonged to the relatively advanced and high-level summoning rituals in "Contract Studies" that required certain summoning conditions.
The minimum mental power threshold for learning the getting Started was at least the level of a Three-level Wizard Apprentice, and even then, it might not meet the requirements...
"【Ancient God Contract】, at the most yin and darkest time, under the blessing of a time ritual, using mental power as a link,
Using soul perception to connect with the coordinates of the Ancient Gods hidden outside the river of time and space, and using this as a contract medium, to complete the final ritual—"
Looking at the ambiguous description on the introduction page of the scroll, Jia Na's brows gradually furrowed. Even after reading the last word, Jia Na still couldn't figure out what kind of species the seemingly profound 【Ancient God Contract Studies】 referred to as the contract group.
"Could the Ancient Gods be ancient extraordinary species? But why would these species be outside the river of time and space?
Could it be that they are really ancient gods?"
After thinking for a moment, Jia Na shook her head.
Although she hadn't finished reading the entire content, a summoning group that could be "equally contracted" by a Three-level Wizard Apprentice could absolutely not be the so-called "gods."
After all, Jia Na was someone who had glimpsed the "God War" through the "Seed Dream."
Even if the combatants were native Wizards and foreign gods, an existence that could be called a "god" had at least reached the level of a First-Level Wizard or above in terms of combat power.
And such an existence would absolutely not condescend to sign an equal contract with a Three-level Wizard Apprentice.
"Swish—"
After quickly signing the "Permanent Confidentiality Contract" on the title page of the scroll, the main text of the scroll gradually unfolded before Jia Na.
But after only a moment, Jia Na, whose mental power was rapidly depleting and whose eyes were tearing up from the stinging pain, had to close the scroll again.
"There's actually a mental power Curse on this scroll—"
Rubbing her sore and swollen eyes, Jia Na finally understood why the Principal had advised her to wait until she reached the Three-level Apprentice stage before studying the scroll.
It wasn't because the content of 【Ancient God Contract】 was too complex and profound, but because anyone who had studied the knowledge in this scroll would be branded with a temporary mental power "Curse," which would forcibly drain the mental power of the person reading the scroll.
And for Jia Na to read the entire content of the scroll, she would need at least thirty points of mental power—
