Wearing a simple white tunic and grey pants, Adrian stood by the large door of Ravenshade's estate, waiting quietly. After some time, he turned his gaze toward the mansion, as if trying to spot someone. But the one he was looking for was nowhere to be seen.
He turned away with a sigh.
"Alisardarc, I have a question."
The moment that low whisper escaped his lips, mana began condensing above his shoulder and materialized into a black bird.
A deep abyssal voice entered his ear.
[Feeble one, you have a lot of questions. Just why are you so curious?]
Adrian ignored the small jab from the bird and asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time.
"Why do Eternarchs make contracts? How does it benefit them?"
The concept of a contract seemed like a deal of mutual benefit for both parties, but that wasn't actually the case. The only one really benefiting seemed to be the summoner.
