"What you just said was a bit too heavy, Your Highness, Roland seems to have been hit too hard by you. ”

After walking out of the stone room, Constantine suddenly smiled bitterly. "I don't want a mentally disturbed Sanctuary powerhouse to be my servant. ”

Diana said lightly, "I said this on purpose, besides, there is no need to be polite to people like him, if you don't destroy Roland's inner obsession, you won't be able to control him, the greater his loss and hesitation now, the more beneficial it will be for you to tame him." ”

Constantine's body stiffened, and he had to admit that Diana's approach was indeed quite clever.

When the pillars of faith that sustained a person for the first ten years crumble and fall into a whirlpool of fear and self-blame, he is powerless to refuse the slightest hope from the outside world, just as a man who has fallen into the water has to desperately grasp even a straw.

It's just that this kind of ruthless approach of putting bloody facts in front of him and crushing the will of man alive is completely inconsistent with Diana's style in the past, and for a moment, Constantine felt that the woman standing next to him and the girl by the campfire in Springs more than a year ago seemed to be two people.

Forget it, why should I ask too much, Constantine thought to himself, no matter what, Diana has done him a great favor, and he will have to repay this favor in the future, but he doesn't know what year and month he will have to wait.

"The teacher has been in poor health in recent years, and some chores are inconvenient to participate in, so the church and cardinal have a lot of things left for me to do now, so I will leave first. After a few brief explanations, Diana hurried away.

She's really busy right now.

As a disciple of the Pope, the Holy Maiden of the Church, and the new generation of Holy See of the Church, her status in the Church has been tied with that of the Cardinal Archbishop, and she has to deal with many times more affairs than before.

When Constantine walked into the stone chamber again, he saw the lifeless Roland, the paladin pulled his head, and the confidence and demeanor in his eyes were gone.

In front of him was the scroll, which was lined with countless mystical and intricate runes, and the exquisite spells reflected a faint golden-red light.

This magical contract stipulates Roland's responsibilities and obligations as a vassal, and if he violates it, he will be punished by the destruction of his soul.

Seeing this scroll, Constantine once again sighed that the Templar was indeed extraordinary, this kind of magic contract scroll with the strongest binding force was priceless in the entire continent, and it was much more valuable than the high-level magic scrolls of the same grade, but Diana casually picked one out of the Templar's warehouse.

If it weren't for this soul contract scroll, Constantine really wouldn't have the confidence to let Roland, who was a powerhouse in the Sanctuary, be his servant.

"Are you willing to be my servant and fight for the sole heir of the House of Elliott from now on?" Constantine said in a solemn tone, full of the aura of the descendants of the Grand Duke of Azeroria.

"Do you want me to give up my life's freedom and follow you to do such an immeasurable act of recovering the country?"

Roland raised his head and glanced at Constantine, his eyes full of mockery, "Reality and knights are two different things, do you have a soldier under you? Do you think that if you win the championship of the Imperial Martial Arts Conference, you will have the capital to fight against the Dragon Lance Dynasty that has been established for more than a thousand years and has nine dragon knights? Wake up." ”

"Not yet. "But don't forget, now that you have lost your freedom and are confined to the Templar dungeon for the rest of your life, you should follow me to complete the great restoration of the country before and become a legend in the minds of countless people in the future, you can choose the same." ”

Roland looked at Constantine like a madman, "Who do you think you are? Paladin reborn? Nibelungen possession? ”

Constantine was tempted to say: My ancestor who founded the World Tree Council does not know how tall he is from the two men you speak.

But after thinking about it, he still resisted the urge to show off, and felt that it was really meaningless to explain his life experience now, not to mention that Roland, who was a knight, knew St. Faust, a legendary mage who existed in the Middle Ages, if he knew, maybe he would really treat Constantine as a madman.

It's better to keep a low profile.

Constantine said calmly: "Since you have accepted the hope that Meron has given you, why are you not accepting the hope I have given you now?"

"Because your ideal is not hope, but stupidity. Roland said coldly, "You can be martyred for your father and your country, but I am a citizen of the Empire, and there is no reason for you to die with the Azerotans." ”

Constantine sighed and shook his head, "It seems that His Royal Highness Diana is right, you are really a coward in your bones. ”

The corners of Roland's eyes twitched, but he surprisingly didn't refute.

Constantine picked up the scroll from the ground, "Since you don't want to be my servant and serve me, then I have no choice but to take my leave, and I don't like to have a bloodless knight my companion, even if it's a sanctuary." ”

Just as Constantine was about to walk out of the stone chamber, Roland suddenly said, "Wait..."

"Have you changed your mind?" Constantine looked back and raised an eyebrow.

Roland looked at Constantine with a complicated gaze, and finally sighed, "It seems that I have no better choice. ”

"Yes, you don't. Constantine looked at him and said, "If you don't become my valet knight, Her Highness Diana will not let you go, she is now the master of the templar, her status is completely different from before, if she doesn't want you to go, even His Majesty the Emperor can't order her, let alone Dean Morgan." ”

"Now, you have one last chance, swear by your soul, become my servant knight, never betray me, obey all my orders, and you can leave here. ”

"It sounds cruel to trade the freedom of the soul for the freedom of the body, but you should know that nothing seems to come without a price, and besides, when your body is imprisoned here, the freedom of the soul means nothing to you. ”

Constantine's face was expressionless, "The most regrettable thing is that you don't have room to bargain with me now, I'll give you another five minutes." ”

Roland folded his fingers together and closed his eyes, a look of hesitation and struggle appeared on his face.

Constantine was not in a hurry, his expression was very relaxed, and he seemed to have the chance to win.

When Constantine counted in silence for more than three hundred seconds, Roland opened his eyes, and his eyes had regained their calm and indifference, "I accept your request, descendant of Eliotgard. ”

Constantine secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a wave of his hand, a sword scabbard appeared in his hand, and a strange smile mixed with angelic warmth and demonic cunning appeared on his delicate face, "Then, prepare to give me your soul, Your Excellency Paladin, one day, I will give you back a bright starry sky." ”
