Safest Option

Ralakia pondered a bit. Normally, you would never take such a gamble. However, Gian had something that they could use to be sure Rean's group would fulfill their word. "Gian, do you still have those Soul Binding Contracts you got with the Inquisition Hall back then?"

Gian nodded, also intending to use the same thing. "That I have."

He flipped his hand, and two contracts of the Second Stratum appeared. No, they seemed different from even that. "This is a Soul Binding Contract of Third Stratum, used for experts between the Void Tempering and Space-Time Realm levels. I believe you know how the contracts work, right?"

Rean smiled in response. "But of course! Even outside, we use them all the time. They are expensive, sure. But for high-level experts, the extra cost is worth the safety."
