What can a mortal give to a powerful magician?

Money? Beauty? Power? Status?

Well, although these things are also what Mr. Magician wants and are necessary to maintain his carefree life, it is easy for Xing Ke himself to obtain these things, so these things are of great value to Xing Ke.

Low.

It’s not enough to pay for the labor value that makes Xingxing get up and take two steps.

It can be said that if a piece of gold falls to the ground, I am too lazy to pick it up. Because I can get it more easily.

What about the others?

Items that often appear in fairy tales and are traded between demons and humans.

youth?

Sorry, I have so many of them that I can't use them all. I don't want you to give them to me. Instead, I want to give you some of my youth.

life?

Same as youth, won’t repeat it again.

soul?

A pure soul is indeed a good alchemy tool. Not only can it give the tool spirituality and increase its intelligence, but the purified potion can also replenish the spiritual sea and increase magic power.

Voldemort tried to do this, but failed...

It's just that it's also useless for Star Carving, so I reject it.

Kou Kou is not a stupid person. She also vaguely guessed that the gap between Xing Ke and herself is too big. She has all the Xing Ke she has, and maybe even more.

There is no equivalent transaction between myself and Xingke.

"But, since you took the initiative to bring up the [warehousing function] as bait to lure me into taking the bait.

You should have what you want... Haha, I have no choice at all, right?

Tell me! What do you want?"

Originally, the most taboo thing about doing business was not having the means to restrict sellers, which would put you in a disadvantageous position of being "monopolized".

But now Kou Kou has to give in, because magic technology is really a technology monopolized by one person in Xingke.

For this reason, although the smile on the corner of Xingke's mouth did not change, it became extremely dark due to his aura.

"Koko, I wonder if you have heard of some scandalous scandals between the Queen of England and Blackbeard..."

…………

To put it simply, this is a meme, a baseless joke made by netizens.

It is said that Edward Teach, the notorious and ferocious pirate Blackbeard in history, was actually a knight loyal to Queen Anne of England in private. He secretly did some dirty work for Queen Anne that was not visible on the stage, cutting off party members and organizing things.

Navy, collect money, and consolidate Queen Anne's unstable dominance...

There are rumors that Blackbeard is the queen's heartthrob and that he secretly has a romantic relationship.

Although there is no basis for ridicule by netizens, it is not groundless. The biggest basis is the name of Blackbeard's ship, which is as famous as his own - the Queen Anne's Revenge.

Of course, these are all insignificant things to Xingke. The past history is of greatest practical benefit to the present and is used as material to change the story.

The reason why Xingke uses this as a metaphor now is that——

The price I ask for is that I use my technology and labor to invest in this ship. This ship has my shares, 51% of which belongs to me, and I have the first authority.

You are just a user, a person with secondary authority.

The above and that’s it.

Your contract seems short and simple, but it is the greediest contract.

Xingke obtained everything from Kou Kou, including the [loyal ministers], and squeezed Kou Kou's value completely.

Isn't it? Because after signing this contract, as long as Kou Kou does not want to give up the authority and use rights on the ship, she will not be able to refuse any request from Xing Ke.

Get whatever you want, as long as it doesn't touch Kou Kou's bottom line, Kou Kou will willingly let Xing Ke squeeze her.

On the day of Koko's death, if she chooses to hand over the authority to her heir, the heir will continue to be squeezed. If she chooses to give up her authority, the ship itself will only belong to Xingke.

How about it? Is this a [I want it all] method?

"I really can't think of what I need, but I am really interested in building a ship, so I will symbolically accept... all your belongings, including your future permanent belongings."

Putting away the signed parchment in his hand, Xingji explained his thoughts to Kou Kou.

But the other party looked unbelieving.

"Even if it is all my future permanent possessions, you may not be able to appreciate it, right?

It is true that you want to build a ship, but the ship after you build it may be invincible to the fleet of a beautiful and strong country, but to you it is just a toy model.

Your purpose is neither the ship nor me.

So……"

However, Kou Kou has already seen through everything:

"There is only one reason why you drafted this contract, and that is to restrict me.

You don't want me to use this power that doesn't belong to this world to make trouble in this world.

You are warning me invisibly - [As long as you restrain yourself from now on, the boat will be yours. I don't like a toy. There is no first right to restrict the second permission of the contract. It is no different from the first permission, but if something happens

Damn it, I’ll make you lose everything right away.】

Right?"

Xing Mo said nothing, taking it as a default.

Then he raised his wand and opened a space door leading to the diving spot on the shore.

"Stop talking nonsense, you go out first and take your people to find a place to sign for your new merchant ship."

"Huh? A while?! How long is a while?"

"[A while] means more than fifteen minutes and no more than half an hour.

How long do you think it will take to assemble a model ocean liner? Besides, I still have the skills to speed up the time..."

Without waiting for Kou Kou to be surprised, Xing Ke directly pushed him into the space door.

"Huh... In this case, there will only be two of us left in this space, right?

[Demon of Fire] Sir? Or Madam?"

In the silent space, no one responded to the call of the stars, and the huge skeleton still emitted a faint golden light.

"Huh? That's not right. Did I reason wrongly? Do you actually have no self-awareness?

So what is this nagging soul whispering in my ears?”

It's a normal thing. Since this space is used to seal the devil's corpse, doesn't it mean that the person who set the seal thinks this corpse is dangerous?

From the moment he entered this place, Xingke felt the long-dead soul's will attached to the corpse.

This is a privilege that Koko, as Muggles, do not have, and it is also called "inspiration".

But the skeleton showed no intention of responding to the greeting Xingke just said. That is to say, the reasoning is that "the skeleton just met himself with powerful magic power, but did not talk to him because there were Muggles around."

Incorrect.

"In other words, there is only the soul and will attached to the bones, but there is no wisdom or spirituality at all?"

"That's much easier. [Legilimency]!"
