Chapter 449: The Rite of Judgment (I)
"Your Excellency Fang Zheng is really reckless."
Sitting in the audience, looking at the crowd in front of him, Astor frowned and sighed in a low voice. In fact, when Lieutenant General John made this request, he knew that the situation was not good. But what Yaster didn't expect was that Fang Zheng's reaction was faster than he imagined, and before he could interrupt the other party's speech, Fang Zheng nodded directly in agreement.
"Hehe, don't be in such a hurry........."
Compared to Aster, Bishop Karl seemed calm.
"I know Fang Zheng very well, he never does anything unprepared, I can be sure that since His Excellency Fang Zheng agreed to the other party's request, then it means that he must be quite sure."
"That's what I said........."
Although he still felt a little uneasy, Yaster still didn't say much, just looked at the crowd in front of him.
In order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the "Rite of Judgment", the ceremony of the Rite of Judgment will be held in a special half-plane. This half-plane was created by the powerful existence of the Four Kingdoms using the power of the arcane, and its essence is similar to the competitive plane where Fang Zheng once fought the ladder in the White Tower, but this half-plane was specially created for the ritual of the Holy Judgment, and it is generally not easy to open.
"It's so nostalgic."
While rubbing his beard, Bishop Karl looked nostalgic.
"I remember the last time I opened the Rite of Judgment was twenty years ago........."
"At that time, it seemed that the lord of the Principality of Heavenly Sword was fighting with the patriarch of the Moster family for a lady? It's funny when I think about it now, especially when the lady they fought over ended up throwing herself into the arms of another woman......... Well, when I think about it now, I think it was so dramatic. β
As if recalling the situation at the time, Bishop Carl couldn't help but show a little amusement on his face, that incident is also quite famous in high-level circles, two men fought to the death for a woman, but in the end when they invited the woman to the stage, the other party said with a confused face that I already have another sweetheart.........
At that time, this incident made many people laugh off their big teeth, you were so happy, didn't you even ask the main owner? How confident you are in yourself!
This time, however, things are different.
At this moment the crowd began to stir, and then Lieutenant General John and the fat representative of Caron walked out of it, smiling and full of confidence, and whispering something to each other from time to time.
"It seems that this time the Flame Nation and the Wealth Nation have really come prepared."
Looking at Lieutenant General John's expression, Astor also had a gloomy face, and said a word to Bishop Karl in a low voice, and Bishop Karl also nodded slightly.
"Of course, it seems that they have a plan, if it weren't for the intervention of His Excellency Fangzheng, then the target of these guys would be us."
Just as the two were talking, Fang Zheng also walked out from the other side, and like Lieutenant General John, he also had a slight upturn on the corners of his mouth and a smile. I saw the three of them walk to the center of the crowd in full view of everyone, and there, there stood a mage in a white robe, and Bishop Karl also tidied up his robe at this time and came to the center of the crowd.
As the first step of the "Rite of the Holy Judgment", it is necessary to obtain permission to open the door to the Holy Arbitration, and of course, before that, they must ensure that it is a fair and just duel.
"Your Excellency Fangzheng."
"Bishop Karl."
Seeing the vampire old bishop smiling at him, Fang Zheng also nodded at him, he had a good impression of this old bishop, but he didn't expect that he would actually meet him here, but if you think about it carefully, if the temple wants to win over you, then it is not surprising that it will send people related to him to come here.
"So, let's start the ritual."
Watching the two say hello, Douglas coughed and then spoke. Then, he looked at Lieutenant General John and the fat man representative opposite.
"I, Douglas. Wygert, on behalf of Leon, the land of wizards, agreed to the holding of this ritual of the Holy Judgment. β
"I, Carl. D. Quinn, on behalf of the Holy Church nation of Serres, agreed to the holding of this rite of judgment. β
"I, John. Cliff, representing Van Riel of the Land of Flames, consented to the ceremony of the Holy Judgment. β
"I, Ante. Domus, representing the land of wealth, Caron, agreed to the ceremony. β
The representatives of the four countries finished their statements at the same time, and then looked at Fang Zheng, and in the face of everyone's eyes, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.
"Before I do that, I have one thing to confirm."
"What's the matter? Your Excellency Founder? β
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Lieutenant General John raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You're not going to go back."
"Of course not."
Fang Zheng waved his hand, and then he continued.
"I want to ask, this ritual of the Holy Judgment is attended by me, the Flame Nation and the Wealth Nation, right?"
"That's right."
Hearing this, the fat representative of the country of wealth nodded.
"Well, one thing I want to make sure is that according to the rules of the Rite of Judgment, the loser must satisfy the winner's demands, then......... If I fail, will I have to meet the requirements of both the Fire Nation and the Wealth Nation? β
"This ........."
Hearing this question, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they looked at each other, and I have to say, this is really a problem. You must know that the original proposal of the "Ritual of Divine Judgment" of the Land of Flames and the Land of Wealth was intended for the Land of Holy Religion and the Land of Magic. So on this issue, they didn't think too much about it, but now that they were reminded by Fang Zhengyi, they found out that there was still such a problem.
"And what about your opinion, Your Excellency Fangzheng?"
Douglas looked at Fang Zheng with a grin, obviously he was planning to be a melon eater next to him, and Fang Zheng spread his hands.
"Quite simply, if I lose, then I will fulfill one wish each of the Flame Nation and the Wealth Nation at the same time. But on the other hand, if I win, then I ask the Land of Fire and the Land of Wealth to grant me a wish each......... I think that's a very fair and reasonable request. β
"This ........."
Hearing this, Lieutenant General John and Representative Fat Man changed their faces slightly, and they glanced at each other, and each saw the deep uneasiness in each other's hearts. The people present were not stupid, of course they understood why Fang Zheng would make such a suggestionβββ on the surface, this was quite unfavorable to Fang Zheng, but on the contrary, it also showed that Fang Zheng was absolutely sure that he would win, otherwise, he would not have been able to make such a request that did not seem to benefit him at all.
But......... What to do?
Bishop Carl and Master Douglas silently entered the theater mode, if this request was put forward by Lieutenant General John, then they would definitely oppose it, but since it was put forward by Fang Zheng, then it is reasonable, they will not dismantle their own stage at this time. Now it's up to Lieutenant General John what choice they will make.
ββ¦β¦β¦ We agree with this suggestion. β
Eventually, after discussing with his companions for a while, Lieutenant General John gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement to Fangzheng's proposal. Although his heart was also uneasy, Lieutenant General John was relieved when he thought of the killer plan prepared by himself and the country of wealth.
Even if they accidentally lose the team competition, as long as they win the individual competition, then the two sides will be considered a tie and the bet will be void. But if they win the team event and then they win the individual event, then they can get double the compensation!
As for losing? Impossible!
Thinking of the trump card in his hand, Lieutenant General John also had a smile on his face.
That's right, it's absolutely impossible to lose!
"Good."
Hearing Lieutenant General John's answer, Fang Zheng nodded with a playful smile.
"So......... I, Fang Zheng, on behalf of the Heavenly Dao Palace, agree to the holding of this holy judgment ceremony. β
