The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 209: Transformation of Contract Mark
After some bargaining, David purchased the Blue Island for 20,000 magic crystals.

This would have been an incredible price in the past. After all, this was the base of the Second Ring Wizard Organization.

With the help of the Wizarding Union, David completed the purchase procedures and signed a series of contracts to ensure the ownership of the island and related rights.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. From then on, he had his own island, a base where he could develop freely without being interfered with by the outside world.

After David successfully purchased the Blue Island and left, his actions did not escape the eyes of some people.

Some interested wizards began to discuss privately. They were shocked and jealous that David purchased an island that was once the base of a second-ring wizarding organization at such a low price.

In a dim secret room, several wizards gathered together, greed flashing in their eyes.

"Did you hear that?"

"That David actually bought the Blue Island with 20,000 magic crystals!"

Edmund, a wizard in crimson robes, spoke with obvious jealousy in his tone.

"Twenty thousand magic crystals?"

“This is a huge amount of money.”

Another wizard, Sebastian, held his staff tightly in his hand.

"Also, I heard that he bought a lot of resources at the market."

Edmund added, his eyes narrowed as if he was calculating something.

"A lot of resources?"

Sebastian narrowed his eyes. "It's obvious that he plans to do something on the Blue Island."

"He can buy an island and has a lot of resources. He is only a quasi-first-ring wizard. This is a rare big fat sheep."

Edmund nodded in agreement. "As long as we can obtain those things from this guy, it will be enough for us to break through to the second-ring wizard."

"Well, it's worth the risk."

These wizards began to formulate a plan to kill David and steal the magic crystals and resources.

They knew that David had so much financial resources and that there might be a wizarding organization behind him.

Therefore, they chose to set up an ambush on the route David must take to return to Youlan Island.

These wizards come from different schools and possess various special abilities and powerful magic items.

They believed they were strong enough to kill David without alerting anyone.

At the predetermined ambush site, the wizards set up complex magical traps and barriers to ensure that once David entered the area, he could not escape easily.

They also prepared countermeasures to David's known abilities, such as using potions that could weaken magical defenses, and special magical weapons that could penetrate physical defenses.

"The Extraordinary Tail has begun to warn."

"It seems that there is indeed a dark wizard who intends to attack me."

David narrowed his eyes slightly, but there was no worry on his face.

Before he approached the ambush site, he directly detected the abnormal energy fluctuations through his extraordinary perception.

"I hope these dark wizards aren't poor."

David muttered, and rushed forward, and a powerful energy wave appeared.

"Oh no, the other party has discovered us!"

The faces of the hidden wizards all changed. This was obviously beyond their expectations.

But now that he has been discovered, he can only kill this fat sheep head-on and hope not to alert the Alliance Law Enforcement Team.

David walked straight towards the area shrouded by dark energy without any hesitation.

As he approached, the air around him seemed to become heavier. The wizards hid in the shadows, their eyes flashing with tension and greed.

They thought their ambush plan was flawless, but David's extraordinary perception easily tore through their disguise.

"Come on, let me see what you are capable of."

David's voice was calm and powerful, and his figure seemed unusually tall in the moonlight.

The wizards looked at each other, knowing that retreating was no longer possible.

They began to chant spells, and the magical fluctuations of the ocean faction surged in the air, and energy like waves rushed towards David.

But David just waved his hand lightly, and an invisible wall of power blocked the attacks. The energy like sea water dissipated powerlessly in the face of his body's defense.

"Is that all you can do?"

David sneered, his figure suddenly blurred, and then appeared behind a wizard.

Before the wizard could react, David hit him with a punch. He flew out, fell heavily to the ground and lost consciousness.

When the other wizards saw this, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

They realized that the strength of the young wizard before them was far beyond their imagination.

But greed and desire drove them to continue fighting, and they began to use more powerful spells to try to trap David.

David was not in a hurry. His body seemed to be able to travel through space at will, and every time he appeared, a wizard fell.

His punches, kicks, and even simple energy shocks all contained amazing power, and each attack accurately hit the wizards' vital points.

But at this moment, one of the wizards suddenly rushed up, and he was also a body refining wizard.

"I finally couldn't help it."

David sneered. Through his extraordinary perception, he could tell that the wizard who concealed his body was the body refining wizard from before.

The energy in his body suddenly surged like a rushing torrent.

"Do you think you can challenge me on your own?"

David spoke in a disdainful tone, and with it came a powerful aura. His figure gradually grew taller, as if he had transformed into an unshakable mountain.

The body-refining wizard obviously did not expect David to be so powerful. He formed seals with his hands and green light surrounded his body. That was his body-refining magic circle.

However, in front of David, these defenses seemed fragile.

He shook his head slightly, looking at the opponent's uncreative attack with disdain.

At the moment when the body-refining wizard cast the magic circle, David was ready to go.

"break!"

With his low drink.

A bright light burst out from his palm and struck the opponent like lightning.

Before the body-refining wizard could react, he was hit hard by the force and was instantly knocked back several steps.

"Is this all your strength?" David said coldly, attacking once again.

At this point, he no longer showed any mercy, and the powerful wind of his fist swept towards the opponent with violent force.

The body-refining wizard tried to resist, but his defense was as weak as paper in front of David. He threw a punch and the wizard groaned and staggered back.

He had nowhere to hide and could only try to concentrate his strength to steady himself, but he was no longer able to do so.

"Come again!"

David's eyes flashed with arrogance and he rushed forward again.

This time, he did not hold back, and went all out, with each move containing the ultimate power. In just a few moves, the body-refining wizard had been severely injured one after another, and kept retreating, unable to fight back.

"Is this how strong you are? How disappointing."

David's last words pierced the wizard's heart like a sharp sword.

He finally realized that he was no match for David and could only watch himself being suppressed and crushed.

In desperation, he tried to escape, but it was too late.

David punched out, and the body-refining wizard flew out like a kite with a broken string, fell to the ground powerlessly, and was unable to stand up again.

At this point, the battle is over.

David stood in the midst of the mess, his breathing still steady.

The wizards were lying on the ground, either unconscious or groaning in pain.

The wizards lying on the ground were no longer just groaning in pain, but began to feel shock and fear deep in their bones.

They originally thought that David was just a quasi-first-ring wizard.

However, the result of the battle made them realize that the young man's strength was far beyond their imagination.

"He...he is actually a second-ring wizard!"

One of the dark wizards was struggling to sit up, disbelief written all over his face.

Having just experienced the battle, he witnessed David's extraordinary strength, the strength that could easily crush a quasi-first-ring wizard, which made him feel extremely uneasy and fearful.

David stood up and looked around, his eyes falling on the suffering dark wizards.

A sneer flashed across his lips. Although they looked miserable in the battle, it did not prevent him from using these people to serve himself.

David closed his eyes and began to activate the contract mark in his body.

"Give up resistance and you will become my servant."

David murmured quietly, his voice echoing in their hearts like a low thunder.

Irresistible mental waves spread out from his consciousness and poured into the minds of those unconscious and painful dark wizards like a tide.

At this moment, the dark wizards felt an irresistible force eroding them.

In the endless nothingness and fear, they heard a voice, a voice that guided them and controlled the depths of their consciousness.

"You will submit to me."

This is the core content of David's spiritual contract.

Under the strong willpower and mental oppression, those small characters who should have been proud and insidious had to accept such a fate at this moment.

After a while, they began to regain consciousness, with confusion and bewilderment in their eyes.

But when they tried to resist, they found that their bodies were restrained by a powerful force.

No matter how angry you are inside, you cannot break free from the invisible yet unbreakable shackles.

"Now, you have become my servants."

David said coldly, "You need to follow my orders and obey unconditionally."

Those who were controlled looked at each other in bewilderment. A new reality that was unspeakable but had to be accepted quietly arrived.

Although the resentment in their hearts lingered for a long time, the reality made them understand that resistance would only bring greater pain, while obedience might allow them to survive.

A strange and complex new emotion was intertwined among these dark wizards, including fear, despair, and a slight unwillingness, but more of it was the survival instinct's unwilling acceptance of an unknown fate.

They nodded slowly in response, which meant that they had been completely captured and signed an irreversible, eternal contract.

"very good."

David nodded in satisfaction.

Possessing the power of the contract rules contained in the contract mark, he is not afraid of the betrayal of these wizards.

In addition, he discovered that the contract mark was also undergoing some kind of transformation after continuously absorbing the spiritual marks of these wizards.

With the continuous absorption of the contract marks, the spiritual marks of these dark wizards gradually integrated into David's spiritual world, forming a wonderful and complex resonance.

During this process, David could feel a powerful energy gathering, as if a deep connection had been established between his soul and these wizards.

"The transformation of the seal of the contract?"

A flash of surprise flashed through David's mind.

He noticed that as the spiritual imprint continued to be absorbed.

He began to appreciate the power and knowledge that those dark wizards had accumulated.

The souls that were once defeated by him and gradually succumbed to him are now being integrated into his body through this invisible chain.

During this process, he felt his consciousness begin to expand, like a blooming flower, taking in everything around him.

The secrets, skills and experiences hidden deep in the heart of every dark wizard were exposed to him at this moment.

It was an unprecedented feeling, as if he had become a new being that knew everything and could do everything.

“My strength is growing.”

David realized that he was not only controlling these people, he was also drawing magic from them.

The mark of the contract began to become stronger, covered with complex runes, which contained more complex and powerful rules.

These rules allowed him to further mobilize and utilize everything those dark wizards once had, including some of the special magic and techniques they mastered.

At the same time, he felt a long-lost and strong new power awakening from deep within his heart.

It is a new ability that can connect with others and control their will. With this ability, he will be able to more accurately command the dark wizards who have surrendered to him.

As the transformation of the contract mark was completed, David's consciousness gradually became clearer, and he began to have a deeper understanding of the identities of these dark wizards.

"You are not dark wizards?"

David frowned slightly and looked at them.

Through the spiritual contract, he already knew the identities of these wizards.

"We are from the Wizarding Fair."

One of the wizards, who looked older and had a stubble on his face, sat up with difficulty, with a look of reluctance and respect on his face.

David hesitated for a moment.

If he could make good use of these people and have them return to the market to collect resources for him, it would undoubtedly provide great help to his plan.

"Now, I need you to return to the Wizard Market."

"I need your help gathering some special materials."

David gave a direct order that under the spiritual contract, these people had no right to refuse.

"As ordered."

The wizards spoke in unison.

David nodded and his eyes fell on the only female wizard with the strength of a first-ring wizard in the team.

"You stay, the others can leave."
