This chapter is an extra update in thanks for "Dreaming Back to Ancient Jiangnan"'s ten-thousand reward.
An elf contract could be regarded as a strange contact-based magic. The primary point of contact was the elf's mouth—so long as it bit any part of a human's body, an unbreakable contract could be formed.
There was no need to break the skin; firm contact was enough.
Liszt did not know the underlying principle, and neither did the countless magicians and knights who had studied elves. Many magicians had published their views on elf contracts in magical books, but few possessed any real evidence or insight.
Still, a conjecture Chris Truth had previously offered had inspired some deductions of his own.
Back then, Liszt had handed Elf Bug Amber to her for study, hoping to give her ideas for breaking through to become a Grand Magician. Chris had indeed made some discoveries. She believed that an Elf Bug itself was a complex magic array, perhaps formed from magic power in the shape of a more advanced magic array.
Magic arrays ranged from basic magic arrays to ordinary magic arrays, then dynamic magic arrays, each level more complex than the last.
Beyond those, there had to be even higher-level magic arrays. But that already involved the realm of Magisters, and Chris had no clue where to begin.
All she could do was speculate that perhaps the end of magic arrays was elves—or even dragons.
Liszt rather believed this line of reasoning. The triangular theory of magic power, matter, and spirit was perfectly compatible with the structural theory of magic arrays. Especially the entire process through which he had nurtured little Fire Dragon Rio—it was simply the finest proof of the triangular theory.
An elf might be a touch-triggered magic array. A slight touch
