Lu Yuan finally thought through the last of his concerns.
Gray-White Text had long told him that fate and prophecy could no longer control him, nor could anything make decisions for him. His destiny would be entirely in his own hands. It would be a waste not to make use of such a trait. Rather than fearing this and that, he might as well treat it as one of his trump cards.

The boy's gaze had not shown the slightest hint of retreat from beginning to end, so Rock Grand Knight Commander swallowed all the words of persuasion he had prepared.
He let out a faint sigh. "Everyone has their own path to walk. As long as you know what you're doing it for and why you're moving forward, that's enough. Besides, on the path of exploring Transcendence, who can guarantee that they'll live to the end? Since you've made your decision, let's sign the contract."
Rock Grand Knight Commander took out a contract from his robes and pushed it before Lu Yuan.
"This mission is too deeply involved and concerns the safety of the Empire's Northern Territory, so it must be signed."

Lu Yuan picked up the contract and read through it clause by clause.
It was likewise for the Northern Territory, but this contract was clearly far stricter than the one Lantern Knight had made him sign. Its terms were so cumbersome they were nearly harsh.

"Oden," Lu Yuan called out in his mind.
"I've finished reading it," Oden responded
