Chapter 1352: Contract
It's just that......
Richard looked at the Alliance Emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, are you sure that you will cash in within five days......?" What if I can't cash it in?"
This is simply a naked suspicion of the Emperor of the Alliance, if it is put on the grumpy Emperor, the next moment Bacheng will be furious, but Pyotr Romanov was just stunned, and then laughed: "Haha, it seems that you really can't trust me." After all, you did help the alliance complete the task beyond the specifications, and I should indeed guarantee that you can really get the reward, so how about I'll sign a contract for you?"
As he spoke, Pyotr Romanov walked to the side and walked to a stone table.
From the table top of the stone table, he took out a piece of parchment, grabbed a large quill pen with his huge hand, dipped it in ink, brushed and wrote on the parchment, and showed it to Richard when he was finished.
Richard glanced at it and saw that the content on it was the words promised by the other party just now, but what made him raise his eyebrows was the last line, which was the penalty given by Pyotr Romanov for breach of contract - "If you lose your word, everything in the Soma Alliance, whoever holds this contract, can take it." β
This can be regarded as a very heavy punishment, not simply using a person's identity or reputation as collateral, but directly using a country as collateral - if the person holding the contract is an ordinary person, it is just a joke that there is no price for breach of contract, but the person holding the contract is Richard, which is different. Richard is the first hero of the Truth Destroying Society, and with his strong strength to obtain this contract, he is really a strong threat to the Alliance.
From this point of view, Pyotr Romanov really had no intention of breaking his promise, so he dared to sign this contract.
Stretching out his hand to hand over the contract, Pyotr Romanov said half-seriously and half-jokingly: "With this thing, if I can't give you what you want in five days, then on the sixth day you can take everything from the alliance, well, including those women in my palace - as long as you don't dislike it." β
Richard: "......" really can't be answered, to be honest, he's really a little worried that the Alliance Emperor will stuff a few women over as compensation, and then offset the reward - then he will lose a lot.
"Are you satisfied?" said Emperor Pyotr Romanov with a smile as he shoved the contract into Richard's hand.
Richard didn't answer, thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there is actually a small matter that wants to trouble you." β
"Huh?"
"There's something missing from this contract. β
"What?"
"Your signature. Richard said seriously.
As we all know, a contract must have a signature to be considered a complete contract, otherwise it is just a paragraph without a beginning or end, which is not binding and may even be taken out and regarded as a forgery at that time.
I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, the Alliance Emperor forgot this small detail, so Richard did not politely give a reminder.
"Hmm......"
For a moment, Pyotr Romanoff's expression was a little stiff, and Oscar couldn't help but turn his head away.
"Hahaha!"
But the next moment, Pyotr Romanoff burst out laughing, patted Richard on the shoulder with a bear's paw-like hand, and said, "Yes, yes, I have to say, I like you more and more, Richard!"
As the words fell, Pyotr Romanov raised his right hand, and a ruby ring on the middle finger of his right hand lit up, close to parchment.
As soon as the ring face and the parchment touched, there was a "stab" sound, emitting the smell of burnt fur, and when the ring face was raised, I saw that at the bottom right of the contract, a miniature flame burned mark appeared. If you look closely, you can see the handwriting of "Pete Romanoff" written in the center of the seal - this is a spell seal, which is more difficult to forge than an autograph.
After doing this, Pyotr Romanoff stuffed the parchment back into Richard's hand and asked, "Are these all right?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Richard said, without hesitation, taking the parchment and putting it away.
"Alright, you can leave first, and I'm going to talk to Oscar about some more things next. β
"Yes, then I won't bother Your Majesty. "After Richard got what he wanted, he didn't want to stay longer, after all, the new "Medium and Long-term Research Plan" had not yet been formulated, and he was waiting to go back and continue to complete it. He said goodbye politely, turned around and quickly left the underground hall.
After Richard left, looking in the direction Richard left, Peter Romanoff looked at it for several seconds, and after a while, he turned his head to look at Oscar and said: "Oscar, I now find that I really appreciate you as a young friend more and more, but it's a pity......"
"What a pity, Your Majesty?"
"It's a pity that I don't have such a son. Pyotr Romanov shook his head with a look of regret.
Oscar: "......", he couldn't answer it.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about something important. Pyotr Romanov waved his hand and changed the subject, "I want you ...... next."
"Yes. Oscar replied, listening earnestly, nodding his head as he listened.
......
Time is running out quickly.
It didn't take long for night to come.
In a gorgeous mansion, a man dressed in black sat in his study, looking at the door from time to time, as if waiting for something.
"Click......
After a while, hurried footsteps sounded, and a short subordinate pushed the door in, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Highness, the investigation has been clear, the previous information is true, we can do it directly." β
"Really?!" The man in black was overjoyed when he heard it, and couldn't help but order, "Okay, ...... immediately"
As a result, before the words were finished, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded again, and the second subordinate ran in, also kneeling down on one knee and reporting: "Your Highness, the latest news, there is some movement in the garrison outside the city, and the private soldiers of the two mansions in the south, three mansions in the north, and one mansion in the west are also mobilizing, and the situation is not good." β
"This ......," the man in black frowned deeply, "what is the situation? Could it be that my brothers also want to do it......?" I'm going to do it, I'm afraid I won't be able to take advantage of it, but ......"
In the end, the man in black hesitated.
"Da, da, da......"
At this time, the sound of steady footsteps sounded and approached from a small cubicle in the study, and then an old man with a detached temperament walked out.
The old man had white hair and wore a light gray robe with many moon phases printed on itβa full moon and a waning moonβand it looked mysterious.
The most eye-catching thing is the other party's eyes, there is nothing special at first glance, after looking at it for a long time, you can vaguely see that the other party's eyes have a faint red luster, like two blood-red full moons.
After the old man walked out, he said slowly: "Actually, now is a good time to do it. β
"Well, why, teacher?" the man in black turned his head in confusion and looked at the old man.
