Chapter 15: The Devil's Contract
Duke of Oran?
When this old man, who looked a little tasteful at first glance and looked a little obscene, said this title for the first time, this group of people who had a vague idea of the title only knew that it was a nobleman with a high position in the empire. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I don't know if I was not satisfied with the lack of sound in the slap I made, the once famous Duke deliberately mentioned his title again, and added the word "founding" in front of him by the way.
In this way, even the dullest person should feel something.
Founding? The European Empire has been around for more than 300 years, where to find the founding duke?
"The Founding of the Country? Do you want to rebel? Alice's mind did spin quickly, but her mouth was quick, "But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with us, so why do you have to find a killer to assassinate us?" Although we are a race of light, we are not saviors, so if you want to seize power or something, we will not interfere. ”
Alice's out-of-tune remarks succeeded in adding to the already chaotic situation. But in Pidger's eyes, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Now there are many mysteries in their hearts, and they have to be solved one by one.
"Looks like we've got a bit of a misunderstanding between us......" The Duke of Oran touched his forehead and gestured with his hand to a woman next to him. The servant changed his massage position and took a sip of water before continuing, "Actually, the goblin stalkers sent out from me didn't mean to kill you. I have only one purpose, and that is to get the cat in your arms that glows with the light of purification. If I'm not mistaken, it's the missing Candle of Light in Atlantis. ”
In the astonished eyes of the two girls, the Count of Oran, who claimed to have lived for hundreds of years, told a strange story.
At the beginning of the creation of the universe, the three planes were actually united. However, because their attributes are different, they gradually diverge, forming the first plane of order, the second plane of chaos, and the third plane of void.
Before Godfall, due to the balance of many powerful forces, the structure of the three planes was very stable and did not interfere with each other.
But nothing is immune to booms and falls. The origin power that has lasted for millions of years from the era of creation has been very thin, and it is difficult to support many god-level existences in the second plane, so the high-level gods have fallen, and the lower-level gods have begun to try to break the boundary between the three planes in order to find a way out.
The Saints who believe in the Light work together to break the boundaries of the Third Plane.
The power of the Night Camp tried to open the boundaries of the first plane, and almost succeeded at the last moment. Unfortunately, however, their power was exhausted the moment they broke through the boundaries of the plane, and they fell in the weakest place of the two planes.
"As a Night Camp Sanctuary-level archmage, it took me nearly a hundred years to finally find this position and break the boundaries between the planes to get here. In the War of the Seven Kingdoms, I defeated countless enemies. Duke Oran's eyes flashed with a frenzied light, "Originally, the position of the emperor could be mine, and the entire continent could be mine. But the forces of order in this plane did not allow me to do so, and I was forced to abandon my plans to conquer the entire plane. ”
O Sanctuary-level archmage! Piger's ears turned upwards and he began to take a real interest in the senpai.
It is precisely the power of order that differentiates from the primordial power into the primordial plane. Oran's conquest of the entire plane is against the normal order, and it will inevitably be suppressed endlessly.
"You're the Night Race?" Alice began to feel uneasy again, and hit the nail on the head, "There must be a big conspiracy for you to bring us light races - forget it, listen to you finish the story first." ”
“……”
"The reason why I chose to enter the Primordial Plane in the first place was because I was tired of the endless struggle between the Light Race and the Night Race. Although he has become a mage at the level of the Holy Domain, he has to beware of the joint assassination of the Light Race every day, and he is really fed up with those days. ”
Duke Oran's expression became painful: "But now I've had enough of these days!" He has lived in the primordial plane for hundreds of years, and after the establishment of the empire, the power of order has calmed the entire plane, there is no war, nothing can make people's blood boil. Rather than survive like this without end, it is better to move on to the next life sooner. ”
Anne listened for a long time with a slight frown, and only then finally said, "Even a Sanctuary-level mage has lost his energy in the primordial plane, and it is simply not enough to maintain his survival for so many years. ”
"That's right, if I were on my own, I wouldn't have survived for hundreds of years." Speaking of this, the color on Duke Oran's face suddenly darkened a lot, "But I made a pact with the devil. I can live forever until the end of the world as long as I want. ”
The Devil's Contract?
"At what cost?" Anne felt that she should have guessed something, "The price of the devil's contract is very high. To be able to sign such a harsh contract, the price to pay must not be small. ”
"It's really not small...... Duke of Oran, who had always behaved calmly, suddenly held his forehead with his hand, and the flesh on his wrinkled face trembled slightly, as if he recalled something terrible.
After a long time, a slightly hoarse voice came: "The price of the contract is the souls of my family and more than 3,000 Night Knights who have entrusted life and death to me. And, if one day I don't want to live anymore, my life will be surrendered to the devil. ”
"Crazy." Alice gritted her teeth.
Pije licked his nose, but he sighed in his heart for something else.
As a Sanctuary-level archmage, Oran's mind was pitifully simple. You must know that the devil's contract is also a part of the approval of order, but everything that has anything to do with order has very strict rules. When Oran signed a contract with the devil, he only stipulated that he could live forever, but he did not stipulate that he would be young forever.
Looking at the old man in front of me now, it's disgusting. It is estimated that the physique is also extremely poor, and even if you don't die, you will suffer from illness every day.
The most important thing is that it probably won't work, otherwise there are two scantily dressed women around. Servant clothes, small body ********. The girl is here, can this guy be willing to let them beat their legs and pinch their backs?
Thinking about it this way, Pijeco really felt worthless for the contract signed by Oran. It is estimated that the goblins who are nimble and proficient in business raised by the old man have already scolded SB countless times in their hearts after knowing that their master had made such a loss-making transaction.
