Chapter 286 The Story of My Life (Part )

I was born on June 421, 6. My mother is the city owner of Debsuota City and the largest shareholder of "Ether Exploration".

My mother named me "Xiaye".

Two years later, my mother laid a second egg, and I had my own sister.

The mother named her sister "Dongzhi".

When my sister was born, I had completed a series of courses such as "Advanced Magic Dynamics", "Corporate Governance", and "Contract Design in Investment". According to my mother's plan, I will serve as a second-level company in a few months. The vice president of the subsidiary will serve a term of one to two years. If I perform well, I will rotate through the subsidiaries in various fields of "Ether Exploration" in the next few years, and finally return to the headquarters and join the company's board of directors. , preparing to take over the mother's position.

But this is not the life I want.

I told my mother that I didn’t want to be a city lord, and I wasn’t interested in the fight for power in the company. I wanted to go to the “Pibrewoseka” Islands to study and study the mysteries of the witch’s contract.

My mother didn't agree, but she didn't object either. She just said to me, wait until your sister grows up. If she is more suitable than you, I will let you go.

So, full of expectations for my sister, I entered the management of "Bafa Liya" and started the experience my mother had planned for me.

But the mother failed to fulfill her promise after all.

When Dongzhi was one year old, her mother went to the Biblvosaica Islands to attend a regular meeting once every ten years and never came back.

Moreover, according to feedback from the Secretariat of the Round Table Council of the Biblvosaica Islands, my mother did not attend that meeting at all.

Simply put, she disappeared on her way to the Islands.

The company immediately sent a large team into the Ether Sea to search, including several great witches above level 6. However, after a month-long search, they did not find any clues about the mother.

Finally, after discussion and voting by the company's board of directors, it was determined that my mother "no longer has the ability to perform the duties of city lord." According to the relevant terms of the company, I inherited all her shares and assumed the position of city lord.

My wish to go to the Piblvosaica Islands was dashed.

The directors are so anxious to promote me to the position of city leader simply because they think I am easier to control.

But they got one thing wrong. I don't want to be a city lord, not because I'm not good at it, or because I don't like it. It's just because it's too simple, so simple that it makes me bored.

Less than a year later, those directors with ulterior motives found that their good days were over. The "Ether Exploration" department and the company's subsidiaries are no longer the "fiefdoms" of the directors. They only obey the orders of one person, and that is me. Of course, directors still have the right to express their opinions - but only within the boardroom, and I will decide whether to adopt or not adopt their opinions based on whether they are reasonable.

At this point, there are only two options left for the directors: surrender to me or kill me.

About half chose the latter.

In fact, if I were put in their position, I would also think the latter is a wise choice.

I am not naturally adaptable to contracts. My mother asked me to try all the column systems owned by Debsotta, but the results were all unsatisfactory. And this is also the reason why those directors dare to take action - the law of the jungle has always been one of Debsotta's most basic rules. Although this is not as explicit in the upper city as in the lower city, when you play chess, you can't beat your opponent. When playing, smashing the chessboard onto your opponent's head is often the best option.

But unfortunately for those directors - Dongzhi's adaptability to Witch Contract is exactly the opposite to mine. She adapts well to most pillar systems, especially "Aga" with Witch Flame as its core. "Reis" column system.

Winter day is my shield and my sword.

The fighting took place on a not special night. After one night, when the sky of Debso Tower lit up again, everything was over. Those directors who tried to use violence to deal with me were transformed into each other by more powerful violence. The cup, and their bodies were reduced to ashes in the black flames.

I collected the ashes and placed them evenly in each cup. At the impromptu board meeting that morning, I placed these cups in front of the remaining directors.

I knew through those people's eyes that I finally had the board's approval.

But I'm not surprised or excited, as I said before - for me, being a city lord is a very simple thing.

I am four years old this year and Dongzhi is two years old. The next few years were so dull that they could be described as boring. Both the company and the city were running smoothly under their established rules. The only meaningful thing I could do was to let as many people as possible People are living a little better than before.

Apart from that, the only joy in life is the winter day.

Dong Zhou is a very cute sister and a person who is completely opposite to me, especially in terms of personality and talent. I often think that Dongzhou and I are like biscuits broken in half. Only when we are put together are we a complete circle.

In the blink of an eye, I am thirteen years old and Dongzhi is eleven years old.

This year, as the city lord, I need to complete an important task - to attend the regular roundtable meeting held every ten years on the Biblvosaica Islands.

Dongzhi was very worried about my safety during the journey and wanted to go with me, but I told her that this was impossible because she was my sister and if anything happened to me, she would need to inherit my shares. And took over the position of city lord.

Eventually, I invited Victoria to come with me to the Piblvosica Islands
In a sense, I have fulfilled my wish ten years ago, although I did not go to further my studies, but to attend the roundtable conference. But in between those boring and lengthy meetings, I still found the opportunity to enter the famous "nest tower" and read the vast research documents in it.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed, the round table meeting ended, and Victoria and I returned to Debsota successfully.

I learned a lot—not from boring meetings, of course, but from the hive tower.

Many great witches believe that the research conducted by the scholars in the nest tower is too far-fetched and unrealistic.

I also think so.

Among the documents I have read, more than 90% are gorgeous garbage, but I cannot deny that there are indeed a handful of them that are real treasures.

I was fortunate enough to read a "treasure" that gave me very meaningful inspiration on a question that I have been thinking about in recent years.

The question is - where does the power of the witch contract come from?
Regarding this question, I believe that most people in Debsota will answer: it comes from the contract itself.

But this answer is wrong.

I once visited the contract manufacturing factory of "Aether Exploration". The raw material of the contract is oil, which is a by-product of the magic drilling process to extract magic power from the depths of the etheric sea.

It is a black, viscous liquid. In its natural state, it will be like a living thing, constantly twisting and turning irregularly. Therefore, the factory must store it in a closed container, otherwise it will not be long before a bucket is full. The oil will escape until not a drop is left.

The way to create a contract is simple. You only need to inject oil into the printing machine, and the printing machine will print out the contract according to the standardized terms that have been set. Finally, the contract is encapsulated with crystal - an unsigned contract is considered complete.

When a contract is signed, the variable items in the contract terms will produce different results depending on the adaptability of the signer; in some cases, brand-new supplementary terms will also be produced in the contract, which usually occurs when the adaptability is special. good or particularly bad situations.

As long as you understand the contract manufacturing process, you can easily come to the conclusion that the power of the witch contract cannot come from the contract itself. Because the raw material for making the contract, oil, itself does not contain any magic or other mysterious power. It can only be considered a medium at best.

And this also leads to another point of view. In Debsotta, most of the great witches agree with this point of view:
The power of a witch's contract comes from the contract signer's own magic power.

This perspective can provide logical explanations for most phenomena. In short, magic is a kind of energy, and a contract is just a medium that converts this energy into various effects. At the same time, this also explains why high-level contracts consume more magic power than low-level contracts—— Because the effects they achieve are stronger, they naturally require more energy.

However, this theoretical system cannot explain other phenomena.

For example, most contracts require a large sum of mana to be signed, but require only a small amount of mana each time they are used. If magic is a kind of energy, then where does the large amount of magic used in signing the contract go? It would be too far-fetched to explain that signing the act itself requires the consumption of a large amount of energy; if it is said that this energy is stored in the contract, many scholars have confirmed through experiments that oil does not have the ability to store magic power.

There are also some contracts that are more difficult to explain, such as "Cleaning Technique", "Tiny Flame", "Witch's Hand" and most other life-type contracts, which only require a certain amount of magic power to be consumed when signing. No matter how many times you use it after signing, it will not change. No more magic power needs to be consumed. If the contract uses magic power as energy to achieve a certain effect, then when these contracts take effect, where does the energy they require come from?
Finally, there is the most special counterexample: "prayer". Theoretically, "wishing" can achieve any earth-shattering effect, such as destroying an entire city, without consuming any magic power - as long as the price paid by the wisher is heavy enough.

So, where does the energy that supports the effectiveness of "prayer" come from? This is obviously a problem that this theoretical system cannot explain at all.

The above questions are what I have been thinking about in recent years. I once thought that I was the only one who would have these ideas that were almost like castles in the air. But in the nest tower, in the document I was lucky enough to find, the author put forward almost exactly the same ideas as me. question and suggests a possible way to find the answer.

She thought that she might be able to find clues about the source of the power of the witch contract through some kind of elaborate divination.
