After Fishing For 10 Years, I Became A Saint Without Knowing How To Raise Beasts-Chapter 449 - 449 Contract
449 Contract
The area where the library was located was very peaceful. Citizens were living happy, carefree lives. However, at some point, the passersby stopped talking.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, trying to find the reason for all of this. All of these reasons finally gathered in the library.
The library was bathed in the morning sun, and the entrance of the library was already illuminated with a golden and resplendent light.
However, despite this, the entire library seemed to be very peaceful.
After checking things out, everyone realized that there were countless fifth-level alchemists in the library. Having so many of them gather in one place was unheard of.
What were these fifth-level alchemists discussing in the library?
No one knew. However, the respect borne out of their hearts inclined them to remain silent around the library.
At the same time.
In the library, after Yuchi’s last sentence, the fifth-level alchemists understood where he was coming from.
Yuchi was of course very kind. He did not want to see these people make a hasty decision to leave the Alchemist Valley and then end up dying in droves.
Sure, to them, this place was a cage. However, to most of the myriad races in the outside world, this place would be considered paradise.
There was no lack of food, water, or medicinal herbs here. The only thing that was lacking was the weather and sunlight. However, this problem could be dealt with using pills, so it was not a big deal.
The most important thing was that they did not have to worry about anyone suddenly attacking them in this place.
One person’s poison was another person’s medicine. It all depended on how one looked at it.
Therefore, these fifth-level alchemists did not dare to make a hasty decision, as the ramifications would be immense and far-reaching. They might have pills and medicines for most things, but there was no medicine for regret.
If they made the wrong choice, it was not only their dignity on the line, but the lives of everyone in the Alchemist Valley.
Then…
Another long period of time passed as they discussed matters. A full six hours passed as they brainstormed and argued.
There was no clear answer or conclusion.
Finally, at some point, they came to an understanding and decision.
One of the fifth-level alchemists said to Yuchi sincerely, “Senior, our Alchemist Valley has a presumptuous request. We hope that you can take away one of our most talented people.”
“Allow this child to live in the outside world for many years, so that when this child returns many years later, we will have a deeper understanding of the outside world.”
Then, before Yuchi could give an answer, the other fifth-level alchemists chimed in, “Senior, don’t worry. We’re not asking you to do this for free. We’ll give you the most precious pills we have.”
“These pills should be of some use to you.”
“And if you want anything from the Alchemist Valley, you can just ask. We will definitely provide them.”
“This is the best way for us to solve this problem right now. We need to send out an emissary to the outside world to take a look. If the outside world is suitable and conducive for our survival and growth, we will attempt the migration after proper preparation.”
“However, if staying in the Alchemist Valley is better, then we’ll stay put.”
“All of this can only be clearly understood after we gain a clear picture of the situation outside.”
“Ask for anything, and it will be given to you.”
“You are like a god to us; a god from the outside world. If you had not visited our valley, we would still be living in confusion. This has been a long-standing conundrum for the people of the Alchemist Valley.”
“We want to seek the truth.”
Yuchi was also quite surprised.
He did not expect the people to ask him to bring someone out with him.
Of course, this kind of thing was something that Yuchi could do casually. However, bringing that person out was easy, but it was rather troublesome to send the person back to the Alchemist Valley after that many years. After all, who knew what he would be doing at the time.
Yuchi did not want to get himself involved in such a thing. Also, taking someone out meant being responsible for that person. It was a cruel world out there, so what would happen to that person if Yuchi left him or her alone?
The answer was most likely death. This was a very complicated and cumbersome matter.
Just as Yuchi was about to refuse, the fifth-level alchemists started to kneel down, expressing their sincerity and respect.
After Yuchi saw this, he could sigh.
When he opened his eyes, he said, “Alright, all of you write up a contract. Of course, the contract doesn’t really mean anything, but it will help you understand what you are getting into. The responsibility for this matter is all on you. I’m just an agent helping you to accomplish your request.”
“No matter what happens in the end, you will have to bear the consequences.”
“If you’re willing to accept this, then this matter can be considered. Otherwise, forget it.”
Actually, Yuchi was not bothered about the contract. All he wanted to do was gauge the other party’s sincerity.
Were they serious about this?
The answer was yes.
They immediately began to write up the contract. In a short five minutes, all of the signatures of the fifth-level alchemists were engraved on the contract.
They were serious!
