Chapter 20: The Covenant Curse
"You read! This is obviously a defensive spell of our Adventurer's Guild, and it will only protect our guild staff. Alex held on.
Raven had a playful expression on his face: "Ah! Ordinary people really can't pronounce it. The God of Contracts created this rule with good intentions. It's a pity that due to the changes of the times, the Celestial Realm script, which was used as a lingua franca, is now unknown to the vast majority of mages. Not to mention a large group of ordinary adventurers who don't even know a word. Except for a very small number of learned mages who are loyal to the god of knowledge, there are really not many people who can read it. ”
When Raven told this allusion, Alex's heart really pounded a few times. Alex was gambling, gambling that Raven would not be able to pronounce this Celestial text.
Alex was doomed to miscalculate.
The seventeen languages that Raven learned from the treasury of Ogmar, the god of knowledge, included, of course, the Celestial Language. Not only the Celestial Language, but even many anecdotes in the Celestial Realm Raven knew that he was bored and hurt at the beginning, and he regarded these as reading novels.
At this point, even players who are not on the right path with Raven know that he is playing games and playing lonely......
Now, that insistence on playing high has paid off for Raven.
Celestial language happens to be Raven's strong point!
An obscure language that all the adventurers present could not understand began to float out of Raven's mouth, and the pronunciation of the high and low was ethereal and illusory, with an indescribable ethereal sense of sacredness.
But there was an old man in the guild who understood the celestial language of the song.
"Of all the things in the world, only the scales are the most just. On one end of the scale is the weight, and on the other side is my toil. I pray here, O Lord of the scales, to open your eyes and punish the false priest who blasphemes your name of justice. ”
At the end of Raven's voice, almost everyone had a feeling of soul sublimation.
Except for one person - Alex.
His face was bloodless. After looking at the dazzling light of the celestial text on both sides above the counter, he knew that it meant that he was finished.
The text above is actually divided into three parts.
The shortest and simplest section is a defensive spell that will protect any adventurer's guild staff who are attacked.
The second paragraph is generally only used by the priest of the God of Prophecy, and is used to ask the divine envoy of the God of Prophecy to come down and adjudicate the authenticity of the object or event.
The third paragraph is a complaint against the God of Contract. Not only should you read out that passage in the Celestial Language, but it is also best to add reasons and reasons, and the more detailed it is, the more advanced the oracle sent by the God of Contract.
The three parts are more difficult than the other. At the beginning, Alex learned that there were only eighteen syllables, and the first stanza took half a year. Alex never thought he would be planted in the third paragraph.
Even if he didn't believe that anyone could recite the third paragraph, he would never dare to play tricks on any of them. As long as he wears a robe, even if he is an apprentice, he will not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
But Raven is dressed in linen! Obviously a poor kid who died in a stinky ditch, why would such a person understand the Heavenly Realm script!?
Alex cried, literally, tears and snot gushing out of his mouth and nostrils in an instant. He crawled out of the counter like crazy, stumbling on the ground, still kneeling down and kowtowing to Raven in defiance.
"I was wrong! It was me who was wrong! I didn't know you were Your Excellency the Venerable Mage! I'm willing to give up all my fortune to appease your wrath! I...... I'm willing to sell myself to be your slave! Please! Please don't read on! ”
Raven ignored Alex's pleas for mercy and continued to chant the incantation while sneering. In fact, when he pronounced the first sentence, there was already an extra protective shield around him, which was the protection of the God of Contract. In the shield, he reads Alex's crimes aloud, sending all the complaints to the God of Contract.
The last syllable falls.
The oracle appeared, and there were two.
A translucent, two-size-tall golden giant emerges out of thin air and steps into the Adventurer's Guild. In his left hand, he held a stack of dossiers symbolizing the contract, and in his right hand he held a golden scale.
The other was dressed in a gold-rimmed pure white mage robe, holding a crystal ball containing multiple eyes in his right hand.
Both of the two oracles had a soft light on their faces, and others couldn't see their faces clearly.
Alex's face was bloody, his lips were dark blue, he trembled and turned his head to look at Raven, but his eyes were full of resentment: "You withdrew the lawsuit!" Otherwise, you will wait to accept the endless revenge of the Marcelo family! ”
"Huh! Get you back? Raven smiled.
At this moment, several big men suddenly broke into the gate, opened their mouths and shouted: "Which Warlock's Excellency is the Golem outside?" We were wrong! We shouldn't be teasing your people. Let the golem spare our companions! ”
Huo Di remembered that he had told him to protect Karin, and Raven shouted a few words in Neras outside, only to see the huge rope carrying Karin on his shoulder, and dragging a big man wrapped in rice dumplings with a desperate face dragging in with his huge arms in.
A group of people found that Raven was the main master, and hurriedly came over and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
Raven ignored them, instead turned his face and smiled at Alex, "What did you just say?" Are you Marcelos going to war against my family? ”
Alex collapsed instantly.
Maybe he's still a bit of a character in the City of Gold. But if a small nobleman wants to compete with a family of warlocks, it is like an ant competing with an elephant, and the picture is too beautiful.
A warlock will gradually awaken the power in the bloodline with age, and a warlock with a strong bloodline power will rarely fall below the gold level when he becomes an adult. Wherever a gold-level warlock goes, he is a guest of honor of the major forces. Not to mention a family of warlocks.
A family of warlocks often represents a behemoth that spans several geographies.
From that point on, Alex isn't even a fart.
So, he just collapsed to the ground.
"Who is going to appeal to the God of Contract?" The Covenant Divine Envoy spoke clearly in the Celestial Language, but his words directly entered everyone's minds and became a lingua franca that everyone could understand.
"Honorable Covenant Oracle, I am calling for your just judgment." Raven stepped forward and bowed to the Old God, and if he didn't count his sackcloth clothes, his etiquette would be impeccable even for the most demanding ceremonial officer.
Raven then complained directly in lingua franca, saying that Alex had withheld the bounty he was entitled to, and accused him of blaspheming the God of Contract, describing the three-in-one spell as a protective charm designed to favor the staff of the Adventurers' Guild, cutting off the adventurers' avenues of appeal, and enriching himself with it.
With the presence of the divine angel of the God of prophecy who determines the truth or falsehood, the matter is very simple.
The Covenant Envoy quickly made a judgment, only to see him raise the golden balance in his hand and read the verdict aloud: "Alex Marcelo, you have violated the teachings of the God of Contract, and your greed and shamelessness have desecrated the just glory of the God of Contract. Now according to your vows of initiation, collect your soul. Your soul will be scorched by the Flame of the Contract for a hundred years. ”
As the words fell, Alex's body burst into golden flames. What time was it at first, and in a blink of an eye, it continued to form a piece, enveloping his whole person.
The heatless fiery golden flame soared out of the three-story building, and it had broken through the floor of the two-story adventurer's hall, but it didn't burn anything. Alex was the only one who suffered.
"Ahhhh His convulsive body made it clear that he was in excruciating pain.
Unfortunately, no one cast a sympathetic eye on him. Everyone watched with schadenfreude as he gradually turned to ashes.
For Alex, his ordeal has only just begun, and unless the God of Contracts falls, he will be tormented in the Covenant God's prison for a full hundred years before it is up to the God of Contracts to allow him to return to the River Styx.
After dealing with Alex, the prophecy god made the first to leave, and disappeared into thin air with a flicker. The Covenant Envoy turned to Raven and said, "O wise man! This time it was indeed our poor supervision. You can compensate us with a request not to exceed three times the value of the contract. ”
Raven's eyes rolled, and a lot of things came to his mind, but unfortunately he finally gave up and demanded instead: "I ask for the loss of this time in the gold coins of the gods." ”
"Your request is reasonable, and it will be fulfilled for you right away." With a wave of his hand, the 2,000 gold bounty that had just been swept under the counter disappeared, and six more semi-illusory gold coins with a rainbow glow were in Raven's hand.
After all of this was done, the Covenant Oracles vanished.
All the adventurers in the audience looked at Raven with envious eyes. Everyone knows that Raven has made a fortune.
In the concept of gods, the exchange rate between the gold coins of the gods and the gold coins of wealth used throughout the continent is 1:1000. In fact, as a god gold coin that is common to all gods and churches, it is definitely the hard currency of hard currency. What can be bought with gold coins of wealth, you can also buy gold coins for gods. But there are many more things that can be bought with god gold than gold for wealth.
In many black markets, the exchange rate between God Gold and Fortune Gold is 1:2000 or even higher. And the god gold coins are easy to carry. You don't need to transport 2,000 gold coins in a horse-drawn cart in a big box, can you take them with you?
Therefore, in the bulk trade, all the gold coins used by the gods are used.
Raven could only get a bounty of about 2,000 gold coins, but now it has more than six times more.
Of course, no one dared to mumble about Raven's actions.
This is the richest and most peaceful gold city in the whole continent, and it is also the novice area in the game back then.
Now, no matter how Raven argues, others will only regard him as a silver-level warlock who has just awakened his bloodline, and no one will regard him as a small black iron-level wanderer.
There is only awe in people's eyes.
