Chapter 405: Khadgar Gifts a Spellbook
With both parties agreeing to cooperate, the next step was to discuss the specifics of their collaboration.
The lengthy negotiations took place in the Royal Palace of Lyon. The talks lasted for two full days, only concluding on the afternoon of the third day of Su Yu's visit to the Lyon Empire.
However, the negotiations were ultimately successful, and both sides reached a mutually satisfactory agreement. They prepared to formalize this agreement with a signed contract.
Throughout the negotiations, Su Yu used Lyon's magical communication device to keep Alyssa, who was still in the capital of the Golden Rose Empire, informed of the proceedings. Alyssa was pleased with the terms of the agreement and authorized Su Yu to sign the contract on her behalf.
With Alyssa's authorization, Su Yu signed the contract on behalf of the Golden Rose Empire. The Lyon Emperor also solemnly signed the document, making the agreement official!
"Krypton, it's been a pleasure working with you!" Anduin, who had been standing beside Su Yu, extended his hand.
Anduin was speaking on behalf of the Lyon Emperor, who, fearing Su Yu might self-destruct, remained several dozen meters away.
"Indeed, it's been a pleasure!" Su Yu smiled and shook Anduin's hand.
...
Now that the contract was signed, Su Yu's mind was still on the details.
Overall, the contract's binding power was not very strong.
In terms of the war, both sides agreed not to form a joint army. Instead, each would use their own forces to attack the Wind Chime Kingdom, with the land they captured belonging to the first army to occupy it.
However, the agreement stipulated that both armies should work together, minimize conflicts, and resolve disputes to avoid hindering each other. They were to collaborate for the war's success.
At the end of the agreement, there was a crucial clause regarding food supplies.
Given that the Golden Rose Empire's military strength far exceeded that of the Lyon Empire, the Lyon Empire agreed to gift 60,000 tons of grain to the Golden Rose Empire, enough to sustain their 500,000 troops for four and a half months.
This was the main content of the contract, which was relatively simple overall.
It aligned well with Su Yu's expectations. Simpler contracts were easier to enforce, while more complex ones often led to difficulties.
Overall, Su Yu was quite satisfied with the agreement.
After the contract was signed, the Lyon Emperor, weakened by his age, bid Su Yu farewell and retired to his chambers.
Su Yu, accompanied by Anduin, Khadgar, and Sylvanas, traveled to the largest northeastern granary of the Lyon Empire to collect the grain.
The northeastern granary was located in the coastal city of Gold Beach, in the northeastern part of the Lyon Empire.
Gold Beach held a status in the Lyon Principality similar to that of Pearl City in the Golden Rose Empire. It was the largest coastal trade city in the nation, known for its wealth, dense population, and thriving industry and commerce.
The northeastern granary, situated in the southwestern corner of Gold Beach, was a critical asset of the empire, always heavily guarded by troops.
Outside the granary's gates, a burst of white light suddenly appeared, forming a massive silver teleportation array on the ground.
Su Yu, Anduin, Khadgar, and Sylvanas appeared at the center of the array.
Given Su Yu's abilities, he couldn't have teleported such a group of high-ranking mages over such a long distance (approximately 1,100 kilometers from the Lyon capital to the northeastern granary).
However, with Khadgar's assistance, he channeled a vast amount of mana into the array, allowing the group teleportation to barely succeed.
After the teleportation, Su Yu's mana reserves were nearly depleted, with only about 15% remaining.
He took out a bottle of Master-level Mana Potion and drank it, then threw another bottle to Khadgar.
Khadgar took the potion but hesitated to drink it.
Seeing Su Yu down the potion in one go, Khadgar sighed, "Sir Counter, this is a Master-level Mana Potion, costing 2 million Spirit Coins per bottle. Isn't it a bit wasteful to drink it now?"
A Master-level Mana Potion could restore 50% to 18% of a High Mage's mana in just 3 seconds, depending on their level. For a mana-dependent profession like a mage, it was well worth the 2 million Spirit Coins.
Su Yu drinking 2 million in one go was indeed a bit wasteful.
"No worries," Su Yu smiled warmly. "I lack many things, but Spirit Coins are one thing I have in abundance. How about I give you some potions as a token of gratitude for the magic guidance you've provided me over the past few days?"
Su Yu then took out 10 identical Master-level Mana Potions from his necklace and handed them to Khadgar.
During the negotiations, Su Yu had spent every evening with Khadgar, learning Arcane Magic. It was only right to give him something in return.
Besides, these Master-level Mana Potions were crafted by Su Yu using his Star Touch talent, with each bottle costing only 1.11 million Spirit Coins, which wasn't particularly expensive.
"Thank you!" Khadgar accepted the gift without hesitation, his mood greatly lifted. The annoyance of the past few days, spent teaching Su Yu, vanished instantly.
"He's a friend worth keeping!" Khadgar thought to himself, his eyes narrowing with satisfaction.
He then took out a magic book from his storage space and offered it to Su Yu. "Sir Counter, this is my notebook of insights and research on Arcane Magic. I'll give it to you."
"Thank you!" Su Yu extended both hands to accept the magic book.
He was naturally very interested in a magic book recorded by a legendary mage.
He also used the Insight spell to check the book's attributes:
Legendary Mage Khadgar's Magic Book
Off-hand Equipment

Item Description: A magic book used by the legendary mage Khadgar to record his insights and research, highly valuable.

Khadgar's magic book was actually a legendary weapon! While it wasn't as powerful as some of Su Yu's other equipment, such as the Lunar Deity Clan Badge, it was still a very decent piece.
Anduin watched silently as Su Yu and Khadgar exchanged gifts, saying nothing.
Once the exchange was complete, he smiled and said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go and arrange the food supplies."
"Sure," Su Yu nodded.
Anduin bid farewell to the three of them and headed to the grain depot's military command, presenting the order from Emperor Llane to General Meclon.
After confirming the order, General Meclon personally escorted Su Yu and his group.
The five of them moved smoothly into the grain depot area.
