The two immediately signed the contract. Of course, the contract that Balak gave was a binding magic contract between both parties. Leon had already read it and negotiated what he wanted and prevented himself from joining the Betlam Family.

Based on the Contract, Leon could decide to end the relationship with the Betlam family even if the teaching contract was not fully completed. Leon will also be protected by the Betlam family and if he is involved in a problem involving the Betlam family and he is also involved, Balak will provide compensation for that.

This contract was completely in Leon's favor, but Balak didn't even seem to mind this.

"No, he seems to want this too. This is already a good result." Leon sighed softly. He looked up at the high ceiling, filled with carvings and paintings on the walls. This room looks like a large sky observatory with one extra bed.

I was too careless. I should have prepared myself in advance or refrained from looking at the little boy's status. But I didn't expect that it would be so excessive. Leon lay down while closing his eyes.

His mind was tired and he wanted to sleep straight away. But there are still many things he has to prepare for the future. As the new leader of the magic tower of Babel, there were many advantages he could exploit but his strength was too low and the world was too dangerous.

Even the Main Quest of the system stated something unreasonable like recruiting 5 people with Great Destiny Traits.

He had met one person who had the trait of Great Destiny. But recruiting him is another matter.

Putting aside the Quest issue, I can say that the progress of magic in the world is quite impressive. It's just that, compared to the magic tower of Babel, this world is quite backward.

There are several magics that Leon has identified in this world, especially investigation magic and the future possibility of time magic. There are even methods that can measure knowledge and artifacts related to Karma.

Leon looked back towards the ceiling. He looked around the room and there was no one but him. One of the contract clauses was that the two would not violate each other's privacy. Violations will be punished severely, resulting in death.

"It seems he complied with the agreed contract. For a while, I was worried that Balak had a method to deal with eliminating the contract for his side, but it seems that for now, he doesn't have it."

No, he couldn't be completely sure. Leon had to get rid of this magic Contract as soon as possible.

To complete this quest, Leon needed to at least break free from this contract. This was because one of the clauses in his employment contract was hindering his plans.

Under any circumstances, Leonardo Constantine is not allowed to influence, harm, or cause danger to his student Felix Betlam either externally or internally. The relationship between Leonardo Constantine and the Betlam family is only connected through a magic contract.

"Balak seems to have his own plans for his son. He is trying to give up his noble status, and move to Maple City."

Is it possible that he knows about his son Felix's innate talent? Leon thought about it for a while and agreed with this thought.

Unless Balak was an idiot, there was no way he would give up his noble status so easily considering the benefits of that status alone were enormous. Leon didn't know the exact amount, but to make him give up such a large profit, Balak must have had his plans.

"If so, what kind of organization or person would make him willing to give up the benefits that belonged to the nobles of the Pendragon kingdom? This matter is not simple."

As soon as possible I must release myself from this contract. As soon as possible. Leon already has several plans to recruit Felix.

And Leon knew where to look.

Magic Tower of Babel.

Leon opened the system panel and immediately headed to the Domain Tower section. In an instant, Leon disappeared from the room without anyone noticing.

"Leonardo Constantine, are you sure there are no archives or records regarding that person?" Balak asked the person beside him. He was one of the subordinates owned by the Betlam family. Slaves to be precise.

B-01. It was the code that the slave had.

"No. There isn't any. I even went and searched through the Maple Secret Society's network but didn't find it. There is no information about someone named Leonardo Constantine."

Balak looked at the cup of tea shadowing the ocean. Balak smiled as he poured Mana into the cup and extracted a drop of blood. He put the blood in a vial and kept it in his pocket

B-01 did not comment on what his master did. He knelt down and bowed his head to Balak. "Master, if you wish, I can take care of that person right now. As long as you say it, I won't say anything else."

Balak shook his head. "For now, there is no need to add unnecessary enemies. Until you find out the person's background, assume that he is at the 7-ring stage."

Magus- 7 Rings. That was the level of the current leader of the Betlam family. Even so, the combat power and magic he possessed were at the same level as an 8-ring Magus. This level is quite high in Maple City and is one of the best Magus

in the city.

"You continue to watch and look after Felix. Don't let him get hurt or attacked by other parties. Also, tell the other slaves hiding in Maple City to find as much information as possible about Leonardo Constantine. Not only in the underworld, but also on the surface." Balak gave the order.

"As you wish, master." B-01 walks out leaving Balak alone.

He took out a white silkworm from his pocket and ate it. For a moment, an uncomfortable feeling appeared and disappeared after that. The magic contract binding him slowly lost power but did not completely disappear.

Balak threw up a white silkworm that had changed its color to black. He took out another silkworm and ate it. This process is repeated until the magic contract binding him is completely removed.

Leon's guess was correct. Balak did have a method to remove magic contracts. With this, he wouldn't be in danger if one day he had to fight Leon.

Balak recalled Leon's reaction when he looked at Felix. His shocked expression immediately caught Balak's attention and raised hundreds of questions. After thinking, the only thing he could conclude was that it was about Felix's eyes.

"He seems to be able to see Felix's eyes which can see the future. In just one glance, without even using the slightest magic power."

Even he couldn't do that. Balak could assume that he was not on par with Leon. The knowledge that Leon possessed alone was enough to make him feel inferior to Leon, but this did not make him feel afraid.

"But I can't let my guard down."

His gaze turned to Felix who was sleeping soundly. His gaze immediately softened and a small smile formed on his face.

"Let's observe for a moment. If he doesn't have evil intentions, I won't bother him. But if he has, I will drag him to death even if it means I have to sacrifice everything."

Meanwhile, Leon had moved to one of the strange places. The System called it the Babel Domain, a special space where the Babel magic tower was located.

Leon was immediately amazed by the spiral tower that rose high into the sky. In the sky filled with thick clouds, a ray of light penetrated the clouds like pieces of glass falling from the sky. There is not just one color, there are 7 different colors spread throughout this domain.

"So this is the magic tower that I will lead." Leon felt his heartbeat speed up and admiration filled his entire heart. The black tower in front of him, outside of which seemed to flow several strange liquids of the same 7 colors, forming lines that looked like circuits.

He didn't know what it was, but it gave off a great and majestic feel to the magic tower of Babel.

Leon slowly knelt on the ground and clenched his fists on his chest. "I pay my respects to the 7 supreme leaders who founded the tower of Babel. The pioneer of magic and the pioneer of the advancement of magic throughout the universe, the place where all knowledge is gathered be it past, present, and future. No one can rival them and no one can oppose their power."

After saying that, Leon was silent for several minutes. He closed his eyes while lowering himself before the magic tower of Babel. Compared to the tower of Babel itself, Leon couldn't compare and knew his current position was only because he was selected as a candidate for the inheritance.

Once he had enough, Leon got up and entered the magic tower of Babel. There was nothing strange that disturbed him, as the leader of this tower, it would be strange if anyone could disturb him in this domain.

The only thing that could disturb him in this domain were the rules of Babel itself.

"It's a shame, I'm prohibited from training here for now. But this place can be a temporary escape if the situation is urgent." Leon looked around while feeling something disconnect from within him.

With this, the Obscuring karma immediately activates and breaks the contract completely while destroying the other party's results. Balak's actions were immediately discovered by Leon who was checking Babel's system.

"So he actually has a way to get rid of the contract. With this, I can assume that not only Balak can do it."

"He acted pretty quickly. It seems he is still wary of me." Leon immediately left this matter behind and didn't care too much about it.

Balak was now helping him, he didn't need to bother speeding up the process of eliminating the contract between the two. After all, he had expected this result ever since he chose the Nightmare difficulty.

"I should immediately start training and become a Tier 1 magus." Leon immediately moved towards the most important place in the magic tower of Babel.
