Chapter 404 Turning misfortune into blessing, reversing the good and the bad!

After Green agreed, Nico sent Green to a small villa he arranged for Green in this manor to reflect.

At this time, only Nico and Linn were left in the room.

Nico looked at Lin En as if he were looking at his junior. He smiled gently and said, "Don't be so formal, Lin En. The magic in me is just the accumulation of time. That's not my pride. On the contrary, It is a shame that proves that I am lingering in this world."

After hearing Nico's words, Lin En quickly said: "Master, don't say that. Your contribution to the field of alchemy is obvious to all in the magic world. Even legendary objects like the Magic Stone were refined by you. Make it! You deserve these, Master!"

Nico nodded noncommittally.

With a flick of the wand in his hand, the two figures disappeared immediately and appeared in the square training ground where Lin En had been when he was learning to refine the Forbidden Fire four years ago.

Nico handed a roll of parchment to Linn and said, "Lynn, please draw a magic contract on this roll of parchment. The most common magic contract will do."

Linn agreed. He did not pull out his wand. He lightly scratched the parchment with his left hand, and golden words floated on the surface of the parchment.

At the same time that the words on the parchment appeared, Linn was also whispering something in his mouth, which was the incantation of contract magic.

As the content of the contract is formed, and contract magic is also injected, this magical contract is finally completed.

Linn handed the parchment back to Nico and explained: "This is the most common magic contract. Party A of the contract is me, and Party B is the object of the contract. The contract requires Party B to provide Party A with a quill within one day. Party A will pay Party B a copper nat, and the penalty for breach of contract is a dense purple pustule forming the word 'liar' on the defaulter's face!"

The first half of this magic contract is the most common business contract in the magic world, but the second half changes suddenly when it comes to penalties for breach of contract.

In fact, when Lin was drawing this point, he suddenly thought of the magical contract that Hermione had set on the D.A. Army's list, and the punishment of making the defaulter's face covered with purple pustules with the word "snitch". .

This made him unable to resist using the same penalty for breach of contract on this magical contract.

Different from the basic elements of Muggle contracts, the magical contract in the wizarding world is very simple. It only needs to include the two parties, events and penalties for breach of contract to be established.

Nico took the parchment. After reading the contents of the magic contract, he smiled and said to Linn: "I think, after learning contract magic, you should also understand that almost all magic contracts are composed of two parties, It consists of events and breach of contract penalties, right?”

Linn nodded and said: "In the Muggle world, the legal relationship of a contract is composed of subject, object and content. In the magical world, magic contracts are not executed by law, but by magic! And in the magic contract, The object and content are merged into one event, and there is an additional necessary penalty for breach of contract, which is inevitable when magic execution replaces legal execution."

Nico clapped his hands happily and stroked his beard and said: "Yes, that's right! The combination of alchemy and contract magic is to replace the penalty for breach of contract in the magic contract with the alchemy circle!"

"The reason Wallison thinks this is a complicated matter is because almost every kind of contract magic has a different proportion of the penalty for breach of contract in its constituent elements. For example, the one you gave me This magic contract is the simplest magic contract, and the proportion of breach of contract in it is one-third."

"However, if we summarize all magic contracts into three elements: subject, event and penalty for breach of contract, then the combination of alchemy and contract magic is the simplest way to replace the penalty for breach of contract with an alchemical circle. This is almost There is no difficulty or complexity at all! It’s just a very simple one-for-one process!”

Nico said so.

Just like Irina's new arbitrary door key, the entry method of entering thousands of coordinates into the door key is replaced by a simpler and more convenient phantom transformation spell.

This method of unifying the countless possibilities of a magical contract into subjects, events, and penalties for breach of contract, and then replacing the penalties for breach of contract with an alchemical circle, has the same effect.

After hearing what Nico said, Linn roughly understood the method of combining alchemy with contract magic.

"Look carefully, I will only demonstrate this once!"

Nico said to Lynn.

Linn quickly came over and watched the movements in Nico's hands attentively.

I saw Nico lightly touching the parchment with his left hand, and the words about the punishment for breach of contract were immediately erased and turned into glittering golden light and disappeared into the air.

Nico flicked the parchment with his left hand, and hundreds of golden threads intertwined and turned into an alchemy circle, replacing the previous golden words and appearing on the parchment.

"This is the alchemy circle that I refined with the main attribute of 'flame'. If one of the subjects of the magic contract defaults, then the power of this alchemy circle will be activated and act on the defaulter. And it will finally appear The effect is that a flame ignites out of thin air on the defaulter, and this flame will not be extinguished in any way until the magic power stored in the alchemy circle is exhausted!"

Nico said in a deep voice.

Use the alchemical array to replace the penalty for breach of contract. The alchemical array is automatically activated after the defaulter voluntarily breaches the contract. The alchemical array acts on the defaulter...

Listening to Nico's explanation, Linn's eyes lit up.

This method of combining alchemy with contract magic seems to have opened a door to a new world for him!

Lin En asked impatiently: "Master, what if the alchemy circle refined on the magic contract has a positive effect? ​​For example, the amplification type alchemy with 'strength', 'strengthening' and 'speed' as its main attributes The magic circle.”

"If I refine these positive amplifying alchemical arrays into a magic contract, and then intentionally violate the contract, then if the alchemical array is activated, won't these positive amplifications automatically be added to me?!"

Lynn asked expectantly.

Hearing Lin En say such a theory, Nico had a smile in his eyes. He nodded and said, "That's right! Transforming the originally negative penalty for breach of contract into a positive amplification effect is also the art of alchemy and contract magic. The greatest meaning of union!”

"Otherwise, since the negative alchemy circle and the penalty for breach of contract written on parchment can achieve the same effect, then why should we go to the trouble of replacing the golden text with the alchemy circle?"

Nico said so.

Turning misfortunes into blessings, reversing positives and negatives, this is the meaning of alchemy combined with contract magic! (End of chapter)
