The magic stones kept accumulating, soon forming a small pile.
The Flame Giant halted its steps as a wave of mental fluctuation was sent toward Richard.
"A penalty of 10,000 magic stones for breach of contract, 5,000 magic stones to establish the contract, and 100 magic stones each month, with a minimum contract duration of twenty years. Throughout the contract period, all of my magic power consumption is your responsibility, and I may opt not to execute orders that would lead to certain death."
10,000 magic stones?
Richard's expression stiffened, the figure was a bit beyond his acceptance range.
But he immediately thought of a method.
"I won't pay you the breach-of-contract penalty, but I can spend a thousand magic stones to hire you to go easy in the upcoming battle, and then use this condition to hire you."
The Flame Giant pondered for a few seconds, during which time Holder kept issuing mental commands for it to attack, making it somewhat irritated.
