Chapter 516: Contract Knot

Hearing the system’s answer, Blaine was not surprised, but instead felt relieved. He did not know why, but Blaine seemed to feel at ease after being tricked by the system. If it had really been free, Blaine would not have been able to sit still. Was this persecution paranoia?

However, even though the system charged, this time, the prices of the two plans were the same, which was beyond Blaine’s expectations. He remembered that in the past, whenever Blaine asked questions to the end, the system would try its best to exploit loopholes and then do everything it could to trick Blaine. Moreover, Blaine did not seem to have asked the price just now, but the system had stated it all on its own. This time, it was so straightforward. Could there be some fraud hidden in it?

"Speak quickly."

"What kind of plans?"

"Dormammu is still waiting."

It did not matter. In any case, Blaine would not be able to come up with a good idea for a while. Besides, was it not just one billion dollars? On the property panel balance, there were more than five billion, and Blaine could afford it. Even if it was a trap, Blaine accepted it calmly.

"Option One."

"Release Dormammu at your own risk."

"Aha?"

"What kind of plan is this?"

"Are you deciding for me?"

If this was really worth one billion, then the system made money too easily. This was obviously a solution Blaine had already thought of. The current situation was like a person buying a lottery ticket. When faced with two choices and unable to decide, someone suddenly walked by and said categorically, "Just buy this one." After saying that, the person also added, "I don’t care whether you win the lottery or not." Still at his own risk. The system was a bit unreliable this time.

"You are thinking too much..."

"The one-billion-dollar fee is not for purchasing the plan."

"It is for the solution to the solution."

Perhaps it knew about Blaine’s complaints in his heart, so the system could not help teasing him a little. Blaine could even feel a face rolling its eyes through the attribute panel.

"Uh..."

"Come on, don’t play dumb."

"What’s going on? Tell me quickly."

In order to cover up his embarrassment, Blaine seemed to have to speak a little more forcefully. At this time, it was even more necessary to show the majesty of a born person, although it was useless.

"One billion buys a solution for after Dormammu is released."

"That is, a method to make it temporarily unable to act."

"However, it is only temporary."

"As for what happens after the host escapes..."

"That is unpredictable."

Hey, it would have been better to tell Blaine directly that this method was useless. After going around in circles, not only did it not explain what the method was, but in the end, it only meant temporarily suppressing Dormammu first, and then letting Blaine escape. What kind of idea was this?

"What about the second one?"

There was no need for the system to continue saying what the method was. Even if it did say it, it was estimated that Blaine would first have to take out the one billion dollars. So Blaine resolutely gave up the first solution.

"Option Two."

"Form a Knot Contract with Dormammu."

"Knot Contract?"

"What does that mean?"

Hearing a new term come from the system’s mouth, to be honest, Blaine was really looking forward to it.

"The Covenant of Knots."

"As the name suggests, it uses an ancient trick."

"And with each other, forges a certain connection."

"The connection can be life-or-death, or it can be..."

"For example, there is a kind of ceremony."

"Blood is used to form an alliance, sworn brothers are made, and then when one is honored, both are honored; when one dies, both die together."

"It can also be an interrelated type."

"After making the contract,"

"The destinies of the two parties are linked, dependent on each other."

"No matter where one party is, the other party can feel it."

"Finally, there is a solution suitable for the current situation that needs to be mentioned."

"That is the master-servant type."

"For example..."

"Don’t ’for example’ me."

"I know this."

"Didn’t you mean to say,"

"Let me make this pact with Dormammu?"

"Then, I am the master, and Dormammu is the servant."

"From now on, Dormammu cannot go against my will and must obey me."

"Right?"

When the system mentioned the master-servant relationship, Blaine immediately thought of it. It was not as if Blaine had never seen a maid outfit. Well, do not think too much. No matter what the contract was, anyway, the result should at least be similar to what Blaine had said. After all, Blaine was also someone who had watched TV dramas. Wasn’t this how some bloody plots developed?

"What the host said is basically consistent with this type of setting."

At this moment, it was estimated that the Hunter system was confused. It clearly had not introduced it just now, so how did the host know it so well? He even knew what a master-servant contract was, yet he still asked it for a solution. Was this not just for fun?

"And then?"

"Be specific."

"What comes next, doesn’t the host already know?"

"Hmm?"

"What do I know?"

"I only know what master and servant are."

For some reason, when Blaine said the words "master and servant," he always felt as if he were driving. Was it because Blaine’s thoughts were too dirty, or because those two words themselves were not pure?

"Next, do I need to pay one billion dollars?"

"And then what kind of contract is purchased, or how to conclude this contract, right?"

Feeling that the system was still pretending to be innocent, Blaine simply pointed it out. After so many transactions, Blaine already knew the system’s routines. Anyway, he knew that this one billion would not be able to escape, so it was better to be honest.

"Contract Knot Magic, price: one billion. Yes/No."

"..."

Perhaps because Blaine was a little impatient now, the system did not make any detours. Anyway, it had earned one billion dollars, so there was no need for nonsense.

After the payment was successful, the balance on the property panel also had a string of numbers crossed out, and then it disappeared in front of Blaine along with the system’s sound.

Looking at the screen of Dormammu restored in front of him again, Blaine only saw that the balance was missing a few zeroes, and the system did not seem to have given him anything.

In the next second, Blaine felt his head grow dizzy. Suddenly, something of unknown power filled Blaine’s brain. Blaine did not resist either, because this thing should be the Contract Knot Magic the system had mentioned.

After a while, when Blaine opened his eyes, he had already understood the magic of this contract.

"Dormammu."

"I need you to do one thing."

"If you agree,"

"I can let you out immediately."

After Blaine turned on the sound switch, he spoke to Dormammu, who was still running around.

In fact, just now, when Blaine mastered the Contract Knot Magic, he learned about the loopholes in this magic, and the loopholes that were not clearly stated by the system were not small.
