Book 3: Chapter 57: Talk Again and Punishment
Lone immediately retrieved a piece of parchment, a bucket of blood, and a goose feather quill. He got to writing as swiftly as he could before he laid the parchment on the floor in front of Master Mezro'nan.
"Read it and sign it," he more ordered than requested.
The X-ranked looked confused but not angered. Sensing Lone's urgency, he glanced down and scanned the contract that had just been prepared for him.
A range of emotions crossed the Restodian Iglaform's scaly expression, two of which were most prominent; disbelief and a simply yet pure kind of greed.
"Interesssting. And you can guarantee I will obtain thessse benefitsss if I fulfil my end of thisss bargain?" Master Mezro'nan inquired.
Lone nodded. "It's born of a unique skill. It's powerful enough to bind an Arch Devil, so I have no choice but to fulfil the terms. Sign with your blood. I'm in a hurry."
"It ssseemsss I, too, have no choice in thisss matter. Though I sssee no reassson to try to decline given the offered rewardsss." Master Mezro'nan put one of his clawed limbs in his mouth then chomped down on it before pressing his now blood-soaked foot onto the parchment.
The contract floated up into the air and erupted into a plume of yellow flames, signifying the binding of a level-1 contract. With that sorted out, Lone walked up to Breena and gently grabbed her shoulders.
"Master Mezro'nan will take you to get enlightenment on the quest you were supposed to do with Soph and I. He'll also be looking after you for the next two months. The latter applies to you guys as well," he said, turning towards Hazel's group at the end.
