Chapter 196: The Oath That Can't Be Resisted
Looking at the mysterious light cluster floating in the spiritual sea, Joan even had a feeling of being closely connected to it in the depths of her soul......
It's ridiculous. He felt that everything in front of him was more like a dream than reality, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
...... No, it's just that I don't want to believe it.
Joan sighed inwardly, finally regaining her composure and perking up.
First of all, it is necessary to understand what kind of impact this glittering thing floating in the "palace of knowledge" in the mind will have on your life.
Of course, Joan understands that there is not much point in doing so.
He did not know what effect the treaty had until it entered into force. It's just that as a high-ranking member of the Holy See, Joan can understand the meaning of the oath better than most extraordinary people.
Nothing in this world is reliable and unchanging, both tangible and intangible; Everyone agrees with this, which is why the extraordinary seek transcendence of life forms;
But there is only one thing, which has been an exception since the very beginning, and that is the oathβ
Any kind of spell has a corresponding counter-spell, any kind of contract will always have a way to exploit loopholes, any kind of covenant will have traitors, and even those with eternal existence will have a fall.
It alone will accompany both parties from the moment it is signed, until the end of life, and the gods cannot break it.
Even the "primordial god", the Mayan goddess who created the world, created all things by making a vow with Chaos.
The birth of the Oath-Taker often means unprecedented changes that are impossible for ordinary people to touch. After all, it rarely appears in front of the world, and every time it appears, it will be worthy of special mention by historians.
Some would even compare it to "fate" because both have meanings that cannot be escaped and bind everyone.
Joan is very disgusted with the word "fate", and also respects the "oath"; But he knew better that the only way to reach the same position as his father was to become a "saint". This means that as long as you want to continue climbing, at least one oath is absolutely unavoidable.
The so-called "stigma" is an imprint that can never fade -
However, what he didn't expect was that before he wore the laurel wreath, his neck would be shackled by someone else.
Moreover, the other end of this chain is also in the hands of a black tower wizard.
What is desperate is that he may not be able to get rid of this person for the rest of his life - it is clear that the other party is a wizard, a wizard leader who is likely to stand on the opposite side of the Holy See!
This is naturally a heavy blow to Joan Bolgia with a bright future and lofty ideals.
A deep confusion ensued: how exactly did this person do it?
"Oath...... Could it be ......?"
The young bishop's brain, dulled by shock, was finally working. The previous things were quickly connected one by one, and finally formed a complete clue:
"What you asked me to sign is a knightly oath in the Rhine Kingdom?"
"Not bad."
"I see, for this reason, you made this request to Luther VII...... No, this was actually the answer that should have come to mind at first, but few people realized it at the time. β
Joan shook her head.
"In other words, Mr. Raspuchin, you know that you have what it takes to make such an oath with someone else, do you?"
In the face of problems, Richard seemed very calm, and had patience that was unexpected by Joan himself.
"Definitely. I've had this intention from the very beginning. β
β...... IMHO, are you a descendant of the Lion King? β
"It's not."
"Why...... Forget it, I believe that a legendary wizard will always have a way to bypass the restrictions of this bloodline. Before that, there is a more important question. β
The young bishop straightened up, staring at the black-robed wizard with a fierce gaze.
"How did you get me to sign this vow? Any kind of oath must be made on the basis of the sincere agreement of both parties, and there is no way to circumvent this restriction in this world, so it cannot be coercive deception, and I have no impression of it...... Could it be that you used mind control on me? β
*
The reason how Richard bypassed Joan Borgia himself was simple, he had been thinking about how to make better use of it since he knew the authority that Miss Real Name had.
At the necessary moment, "real name plunder" can be an opportunity to reverse the victory: as long as the genetic information of the opponent's body - whether it is blood or hair - can make the opponent lose the proof of existence in a short period of time, no matter how powerful and extraordinary he is, without his own corresponding rank in the spirit world, he cannot be an opponent.
But the problem is that the dead have no consciousness, but the living do; Even if they don't touch the secrets of the central system, as the original owner, they can still "log in" again after a certain amount of time.
However, what if, during this time, they used their identity to do something that changed their lives and could not be erased? It's best to also let things go in your best direction.
In the Mayan world, the best answer to how to do it speaks for itself.
In short, Richard landed Joan Borgia in the central system and made an oath with himself in a matter of minutes.
The so-called "mind control" never existed, but it was only because Qiong'an was still in a coma at that time that the truth was not discovered.
β¦β¦
Richard could not tell the truth, but only maintained an unfathomable attitude.
The other man did not seem to care about Richard's answer, he had long expected that such a secret could not be told to an enemy.
What Joan really wants to know now is the fate she will face......
"Mr. Rasputchin, I don't want to provoke you. So can you take the initiative to tell me what the effect of the oath is? β
This time, the black-robed wizard finally spoke:
"I believe that the history of the Rhine Kingdom is more familiar to Mr. Borgia than I am. Especially about the man who claims to be the 'greatest king since the High King' - the legend of the lion king and the knights who serve him should be familiar to those who live in the Holy League, right? β
Joan was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
β...... Are you saying that I will be your servant like the Lionheart Knights who serve as the White Lion King? β
"It's not 'becoming,' it's already becoming."
The black-robed wizard raised his hand and suddenly reached out towards the blonde knight - and only then did Joan find out to her horror that he couldn't move! A legendary knight, but at this moment, he can't even control his own body!
