Hand in Hand

Madam held her hand and moved it toward my heart.

She said while looking at my eyes "I can't believe I am trusting you kid. Whatever secrets you have, We will be in this together."

Then she chanted a spell while taking both my hands in her hands. We were like little lovers in some romantic movie but soon mana flowed from her body to and my body to her. It was two chains on both of our hearts.

The Contract was to treat each other as what we would treat oneself.

When it completed, I felt closer to her. I could see signs of mana deprivation on her face. I had learnt about mana transfer from the study in this. I tried channeling mana from my body to her.

We were still holding hands. She had about 2200 mana and only about 200 left. My mana pool was about 1/4 of her. I kept pouring mana into her till the Color regained in her face. When is pouring mana and holding her hand, her tits has stood erect.

Did she just lose her mana virginity.

"How do you know this spell. It only used by light mages who specialise as support mages."

"It was not a spell. It was visualisation"

"Did you experience it for the first time?"

"umm,.. Yeah" she said with a blush since she noticed me looking at her pokies.

"Kid, don't think we did an equals contract, so you can do rouge stuff. I am older than your mother probably. Also, I have a daughter just perfect for me." She said with a blush and then worry.

Where was this daughter. Meditating for a week seemed a very noble thing to do since ordinary people could not bear the cost of the chamber.

"I can call you Svetlana now but it would be bad if I accidentally called you by your name in public. I will just call you Madam. By the way, did you hear the rumour going on among the servants of your mansion. They look at me with very hostile stares."

Svetlana blushed hearing about this.

She wanted to say something but I added,

" Can you give me some money, I need to experiment with some stuff."

She nodded and took out 50 gold coins.

"I am giving you half of what I have. Just don't disappoint me. Don't worry, I will solve this issue as soon as possible. I will be leaving for my room and will visit the town to buy certain stuff." I told Svetlana.

"Can you show me what the life mana looks like. I have never seen what could cause such a disaster?"

Madam came to me and passed mana into my heart and I heard a ding sound. At the same time, I felt fresh like my muscles were freer.

"Stop" I said.

"Thanks. I won't disappoint you Svetlana." I said while touching the hand that was on my chest.

I could trust Svetlana but I wasn't sure about the power of this contracts and from my knowledge of animes, there were techniques to cancel these things. you only needed to be more proficient at the spell.

I finally had the start-up capital and an ally if I could Madam that. There were two main problems now. It was Earl Dunt or the worse ones were Rock and Margaret. She was actually the one who had led to this situation. Then, it was Old John with whom I had a shady deal going on.

With this thought, first I went to my room and sat on the bed.

I closed my eyes and looked at the panel.

HP - 500

MANA - 500

Skills - Elemental Sight, Earth lvl 2, Metal lvl 2, Light lvl 1, Alchemy lvl 1, Rune encryption lvl 1

Inactive Skills - Wind, fire, water, dark, plant, life, holy, charm, ice

Spells - Equals contract, Earth spike, Oath, Soul contract

Wealth - 500

So, 50 gold was 500 silver for the system.

The basic systems took 10 silver for first level up to 2nd level. It took 100 silver to get up to level 3rd. this money hungry system. I needed to think carefully.

I decided to start with alchemy since it's knowledge could lead to a change in plan.

I upgraded alchemy to level 3 with 110 silver.

Activated Life magic with 50 magic.

This one was more expensive than a normal compound magic. The mana particles like a Ying Yang symbol composed of light and dark particles.

I paid 120 and upgraded psychic magic to level 3.

My mana bar was increasing at such a quick rate and more elements were entering my body.

I needed 500 wealth to upgrade Earth to lvl 4. I would be a archmage if I could do that.

When I tried using earth spike I could control it 40 metres.

I had 220 silver left with me. I decided to upgrade runes encryption to lvl 3 since I would be released my own skills. Another 120 silver.

Finally, I decided upon my product.

I was thinking how to make money so I decided to start with the ladies. Staying around Madam had made me go crazy with hormones in my head always. I had guessed it was due to the charm mana she released without knowing did that.

So, I decided to make a pheromone perfume with water and charm mana into a glass bottle. It would be extremely diluted since I didn't want orgies to happen on the side of road.

So, I learned ice and charm magic for lvl 1.

Now, I only had 80 silver remaining.

I decided to save this silver in case I needed it later.

I walked outside the Dunt estate and walked towards the shops. I was scouting for perfumes and doing a market analysis.

Perfumes was a market dominated by the Napoli Kingdom. It was said to the fashion capital of the East. The woman were believed to be more lascivious and open unlike Augustus kingdom.

It was mainly that there were more charm attribute woman across the sea that perfumes were ridiculously expensive. I bought a perfume at the Herald Chamber of Commerce. Herald chamber of commerce worked for the king and could be believed to be the strongest if military backing was considered.

It was not the most profitable because of the Soft Chamber and their monopoly on Mag tablets which helped with long distance communication.I had wanted to buy one earlier but I only knew Madam who had one but I was always following her so did not need one.

Thinking about this, I walked back to my room in the estate since I found no other perfumes in Brown Town which did not have many rich women.

I decided to upgrade charm to lvl 2 since I remembered that better charm mana would lead to more potent smell.

It could even be used as Viagra for old people who could not find life mages or become life mages themselves.

With this thought in mind, I walked back to the Dunt Mansion.
