“Is the discussion over?”
Seeing Bailuo and Uncle come out, Sister inquired.
“The basic issues have all been resolved.”
Bailuo indicated that this time they were entirely reliant on Uncle’s good fortune.
His reputation from years past on the Miracle Mainland would indeed serve as an excellent starting point for Yatun.
“You never mentioned these things to me, Dad.”
Hearing Bailuo’s description, Isefia looked somewhat reproachfully at Uncle, but Uncle retorted, “Girl, you’ve been so focused on enhancing your strength, how would you have time to listen to my stories?”
It was only Bailuo, with nothing better to do, who loved these extraordinary tales.
Of course, it was also because Bailuo had crossed into a new world, hellbent on acquiring Fighting Spirit and magic, so for 20 years he had never let slip any opportunity.
“However, this is good, Sigurian’s attitude will bring us no small amount of help.”
Sister felt that Bailuo could now breathe a sigh of relief seeing Sigurian concede, “So next up, do we sign a contract with Morgan?”
As long as Yatun doesn’t turn traitor and start causing trouble, the relationship between Bailuo and Morgan should essentially be free of problems.
After all, they were bound by a Miracle Contract that could constrain either party.
What is a Miracle Contract?
In simple terms, it’s like the “hostages” of the Warring States period.
Of course, it’s not about sending actual hostages, but rather taking the potential of a Miracle as a “hostage,” placed upon the contract.
If someone were to breach the contract first, their Miracle’s potential would take a nosedive.
For example, if Bailuo pledged Sherri.
If Bailuo were to break the contract, Sherri would instantly weaken, her bones would fracture, and her body would be subjected to immense pain.
In more severe cases, she could even fall back in her Awakenings, reverting to her state as if she had only had her First Awakening.
Potential can be recovered; it’s just a matter of time.
But it’s not a matter of a day or two. In severe cases, it might even take years to return to original form.
Thus, through such Miracle Contracts, a certain degree of trust and understanding can be guaranteed between two Masters of Miracles.
No one would risk the shattering of their Miracle and regression of potential to commit outrageous acts.
The cost of betrayal being so steep naturally makes one tread carefully.
“So for this Miracle Contract, what should we use as the hostage?”
Sister said, “Why not use my Avalon World? It won’t matter much even if I lose some Royal Prestige.”
Royal Prestige, or the essence of a Miracle Instrument.
It’s sort of like currency used by a Master of Miracles when signing a contract.
The Royal Prestige varies between Miracles of different hierarchies and stages of Awakening.
Generally, if a Miracle of the Lowest Tier with its First Awakening is worth 100 points of Royal Prestige,
Then with each increase in tier, the Royal Prestige doubles.
Similarly, it doubles with each advance in stage.
[Royal Prestige Chart] (As simplified as possible)
Least Tier First Awakening 100, Second Awakening 200, Third Awakening 400, Four Awakenings 800
Lower Tier: 200, 400, 800, 1600
Middle Tier: 400, 800, 1600, 3200
Upper Tier: 800, 1600, 3200, 6400
In simple terms, it’s a 4×4 grid, all based on a factor of 100, then multiplied by powers of 2.
Bailuo wasn’t clear on the principle behind this proportion of Royal Prestige, but the Miracle Contracts of the Miracle Mainland have always been forged like this, and Bailuo stated that he was okay with that.
And then, the Avalon World is a Superior Miracle.
As a Superior Miracle, the Avalon World itself is worth 100 x 2 to the power of 3, that is 800. Since it’s Second Awakening, it doubles again to 1600.
Morgan is a Lower Miracle, and even with Third Awakening, it’s just worth 800.
Just half of Sister’s.
Therefore, if Bailuo really wanted to play hardball with Morgan, he could even directly engage in a hundred-year contract with him.
Whoever reneges first, their 800 Royal Prestige would be deducted in one fell swoop.
Sister’s Avalon World might become turbulent, riddled with fissures,
But Morgan’s Abyss Gu Flute would be worse – shattered and then degrade back to the second phase (Second Awakening).
Moreover, Royal Prestige can’t be distributed evenly, but if one item is exhausted, another can be supplemented.
That is, 800 can be spread into 200, 200, and 400 like that.
“This…”
How could Bailuo bear to see his Sister endure such pain.
“Let’s choose me, after all, I’m Yatun’s Queen.”
Sister didn’t claim herself as the Queen because that was meant for outsiders to hear; in front of Bailuo, she was simply the Queen, his Queen.
“Pocket Second Awakening, merely 200.”
“Sherri Lower Tier 400, Lilith Middle Tier 800, Tree Elf Lower Tier First Awakening 200.”
As a Miracle Person, Sister naturally could sense all of Bailuo’s power. “I can’t feel the Royal Prestige of the Mysterious Dragon; it may not be usable for contracting. Xiao Bai seems to be unable as well; she can’t serve as credibility for signing a contract.”
“Thus, I am the best option.”
It wasn’t just about responsibility. Sister now possessed a substantial 1600 of Royal Prestige.
Such a weight could belong to no one other than her, Isefia!
“Then let’s decide for now, Sister, it will be up to you.”
Bailuo knew Sister was a woman who shouldered responsibilities and that she cared for Yatun’s people from the bottom of her heart; given Sister’s strength, she certainly preferred to bear this pressure herself.
“You two, stop arguing.”
Uncle said, “You talk as if Morgan could bring out 800 Royal Prestige just like that.”
“A mere ceasefire and peace treaty, how could it possibly involve so much Royal Prestige,” Uncle: “If you can get a few points, that would already be good.”
“Royal Prestige is incredibly precious; Masters of Miracles even calculate it to the second or third decimal place.”
“So, you mean 100.86?”
Bailuo: Is that even possible?!
“Yes, it is.”
Uncle said, “Don’t think we have so many Miracles on hand; other Masters of Miracles don’t have this many!”
Bailuo is wealthy, with plenty to spare.
But for others, they wish they could split one point into two for use.
And Royal Prestige cannot be used up here and then re-used elsewhere.
