The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 345 Little Monkey Squeak
Digging into the topaz stone has caused such a huge mess, yet the divination of fortune shows only minor good fortune.

The art of divination always has its own way of making judgments, and so far, as long as the result has been predicted, it has never been wrong.

I just don't know where this auspicious sign is!
Moran can only take it one step at a time now.

The old golden-armed ape took the wine from the cat-carried vessel and eagerly grabbed a small peach pit cup, pouring himself a little.

Seeing the long-haired giant ape staring longingly at him, he reluctantly poured it a little more.

The two monkeys drank the wine and excitedly made "oh oh" noises, their previous cleverness completely gone.

Moran coughed lightly: "You all enjoy your drinks, I'll be going now!"

Upon hearing this, the old golden-armed ape immediately gave the white-haired giant ape a wink.

The white-haired giant ape quietly blocked the only entrance to the cave.

Moran frowned, gripping his wand in his left hand and several cards appearing in his right: "What do you mean by this?"

"Don't rush, don't rush!" the old golden-armed ape hurriedly said, "Could I exchange some of that wine that looked like water for some more?"

Moran relaxed a little: "Sure! As long as you can offer something useful to me, we can trade."

"Yes, yes, yes!" said the old golden-armed ape. "I'll take you to see it!"

Moran hasn't even said what he wants yet, and this old golden-armed ape is already so confident?

This piqued her curiosity.

Following the old golden-armed ape out of the wine cave, we saw many other golden-armed apes guarding the place, all of whom showed submission to the old golden-armed ape.

It seems that this old golden-armed ape is the monkey king.

This group of golden-armed apes includes at least two mid-level magical beasts, and even two high-level magical beasts.

With the addition of the intelligent old monkey king, who is on par with other intelligent species, this group of monkeys is likely to be a considerable force in the outer regions.

Moran was somewhat relieved that she hadn't acted rashly, but instead had first eased tensions.

Otherwise, being chased by such a group of monkeys would be quite difficult.

Following the old monkey king, we arrived at a large wooden stake covered with animal hides.

Lifting the animal hide, a small round hole was revealed at the bottom of the wooden stake.

The old monkey king called out to the white-haired giant ape, "Go and call a little monkey over here!"

Before long, a group of golden-haired monkeys surrounded the old monkey king and hurriedly clung to him.

This forced the old monkey king to revert to his giant form.

In less than three seconds, the old monkey king's body was covered with round-headed little monkeys.

The little monkeys climbed the old monkey king as if it were a monkey mountain.

Moran looked at the group of adorable little monkeys and felt a surge of excitement.

Just then, the white-haired giant ape stretched out a little finger and pushed a small white-haired monkey, which was a head shorter than the other monkeys, toward Moran.

Moran: "(⊙_⊙)?"

White-haired giant ape: "(`)"

The little white monkey hugged Moran's leg, tilting its head back:

By the time Moran realized what was happening, she had already squatted down and was patting the little monkey's head.

As she touched it, something felt off. Then, glancing at the white-haired giant ape smirking beside her, Moran thought, "..."

Damn it, I got tricked!
Moran resisted the temptation, stood up, and used telepathy to say to the white-haired giant ape, "I don't deal in monkey food! It's impossible for me to exchange it for wine!"

"I won't change the wine."

The white-haired giant ape cried out hastily. He couldn't speak human language, but he knew the witch had a way of understanding him:
"I've heard that you witches all like to collect magical pets... What do you think of my little grandson?"
It's small, eats little, is obedient and well-behaved, and just as smart as me. It's a low-level magical beast, so it can't go to the other side of the hedge, but it has white fur and looks different from the other little monkeys..."

Moran was genuinely surprised: "You want it to acknowledge me as its master?"

The white-haired giant ape nodded.

Is this illusion spell working so well today?

Were even the giant white apes fooled?
By the way, it's not a monster, just a powerful beast.

At most, they are just exceptionally intelligent, reminiscent of the gibbons in the inner area's high peach grove who could slide on their knees at incredible speeds.

Aside from not being able to speak the common language, this white-haired giant ape is probably just as intelligent as the old monkey king. No wonder it's just an ordinary wild beast, yet it has such a good relationship with the old monkey king.

Suddenly, the white-furred monkey clinging to Moran's leg also let out a soft whimper.

The meaning was very clear: "Zhizhi is willing to follow its master, obey its master's orders, and fight for its master!"

The little monkey's name is Zhizhi.

Moran had long wanted to find some allies or magical pets to study summoning magic.

Currently, among the various schools of witch magic, there are only two spells: Summon Allies and Summon Familiars. She has not had the opportunity to practice them.

When all I can do is send letters, I practice the Golden Bird Technique.

With magical pets practically delivered to his doorstep, how could Moran possibly give up?
The Summoning Spell does not require a contract. When Moran uses the Blank Summoning Spell, what appears is the Summoning Contract Terms outlined by the power of magic converted into contract power.

Summoning magical creatures and allies are contractual summoning abilities that witches and sorceresses are born with.

She maintained the summoning spell, then picked up Zizi: "Let me tell you about the contents of this pet contract... Huh?"

Squeaky had accidentally pricked her fingertip, and as soon as she got close to the contract magic, she pressed the blood from her fingertip onto the pet contract.

The power of the contract quickly entered Zizi's mind.

The spellcaster Moran was not ready when the contract was formed.

A normal pet contract is a spiritual contract established after the pet acknowledges it. This blood contract is generally only used for pets with very low intelligence who cannot understand spiritual contracts.

Squeak is clearly not like that.

For Moran, the binding force of the spiritual contract and the blood pact is the same.

For magical pets, however, the situation is different; the constraints of a blood pact are much more domineering.

Under the spiritual contract, if Moran, the master, encounters mortal danger, she can take the initiative to break the contract and let her magical pet leave safely.

Under the blood pact, Moran voluntarily broke the contract, leaving his magical pet with only one option: death. It truly entrusted its life to its master.

It lives when its master lives, and dies when its master dies.

But its safety will not harm its owner.

Moran never intended to rely on magical pets as her main fighting force, like a typical summoning witch, so she never considered using a blood pact to form a contract.

Now she can't break the contract and start a new one.

Squeaky had curled up into a ball, nestled in her arms, accepting the transformation of the power of the contract.

Moran couldn't help but look at the white-haired giant ape beside her with dissatisfaction.

How could such a small monkey know about the witch's contract? It even pricked its finger beforehand.

It could only have been taught by some old white-haired monkey!

"How can you treat your granddaughter like this?"

She had just discovered that it was a baby female monkey.

Even if it's because it looks different from the other monkeys and might have a hard time surviving in the group, there's no need to be so eager to get involved!
