"Barus!"
At that, Pelerian corrected me.
"It's not Barus, it's Baras. Why say it differently when you wrote it correctly?"
'Just felt like it, that's all.'
Though the pronunciation was Baras, I just wanted to try shouting Barus.
Rune words themselves possess magical power.
Bluebeard was bound by the contract he made with Pelerian.
Heaven Defier Magician Pelerian had made it so that he could collect the penalty with just one rune word.
It was a terrifying contract that could turn the Dwarf Mine Lord into a slave just by speaking the rune word 'Baras'.
'But why did Bluebeard agree to such a terrifying contract?'
"People are always different going into the bathroom than coming out, aren't they?"
'What a crude analogy.'
"That's how the world works. People's attitudes are different when borrowing money versus paying it back. That foolish dwarf truly believed he would never violate the contract."
