Chapter 24: Contract Loopholes
By the time Rocky's vision saw the outline of Blackwater City, a large city in the human kingdom of Dibes, it was already the evening of his third day away from the Lizardmen tribe, the Gucci tribe.
Blackwater City is beautiful at sunset, this city built at the confluence of the Burton and Plas rivers, is one of the eight most important port cities in the southeast region of the Kingdom of Dibes and the continent of Kadolan, and its total population once exceeded the royal capital of the Kingdom of Dubes.
Although Blackwater City is no longer at its peak, the permanent population of the city exceeds 300,000, and with the number of merchants, sailors and other people coming and going, Blackwater City is still the fifth most populous city in the Kingdom of Dubes.
Naturally, Blackwater City, with a large population, will naturally attract messengers and believers from the gods to come and preach, and Rocky learned from the gray-robed mage Zaha that there is a large temple and more than a dozen ordinary temples in Blackwater City, and there are no less than three known resident legendary powerhouses in the city.
What is certain is that as long as Rocky hides in Blackwater, the lizardmen sent by the lizardman god Symnoa to judge him will not be able to enter the city and do him the slightest harm anyway.
"So, your first task now is to think of a way that will allow me to safely enter Blackwater City and hide for a while. ”
When the gray-robed mage Hax heard Rocky's words, his heart was broken, and he wanted to shout loudly to Rocky: Master, I am just a low-level mage who has just graduated from the school, not a powerful nobleman in Blackwater City, let alone a priest of a certain temple, you have found the wrong person.
But he could also think about it, and in the face of Rocky's forced gaze, he could only put away these thoughts, bowed down honestly and replied, "Dear Excellency Rocky, please give me some time." ”
"Of course, you have...... Well, you have half a day to think about it, and you can't leave my sight. Rocky agreed to the mage's request very "generously", and then he didn't pay attention to the gray-robed mage who was scratching his ears and thinking of a way, but looked at Blackwater City more than ten miles away in a daze.
Of course, this daze was just what the gray-robed mage Hax saw in his eyes, and the real situation was that Rocky was communicating with the old dragon Sagert in his mind at the moment.
However, Rocky still overestimated his value in the eyes of the other party, no matter how he said good things and lowered his posture, the soul of the old dragon Sagert didn't bother to give him a hint of response, and that contempt could be felt by two souls.
This made him a little angry, so he turned his heart sideways, and some broken jars threatened the other party:
"Sir Sagert, there may be other ways for you to find another host after my death, but I don't think you want your soul to be discovered by a god, please don't suspect me of being alarmist, burning the blasphemer in front of the gods, has always been the favorite way of the fanatics. ”
After saying this, Rocky's heart was shocked, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly shouted in shock and anger: "Damn, you deceived me, you did something in the contract!"
Just now, he suddenly thought that in the soul contract he signed with Sagert, only the condition that he must rescue the other party's body when he becomes an adult after he gets out of trouble with the help of the other party, but it does not stipulate that the other party's soul must follow him.
In other words, the situation that he had always thought that the Sagert Split Soul had to follow him in order to continue to exist did not exist at all.
Thinking of this, Lodge also understood why Sagert didn't care about the "blasphemy" at all, because no matter how many reasons he had, it was he Lodge who did the "blasphemy", and the punishment from the lizardman god Semnua would only fall on him.
"Stupid reptile, have you finally found out?
The taunt from Sagert's distraction made Rocky's face begin to distort, this feeling of being tricked and helping others to take the blame, who knows!
The most hateful thing is that he can't fight back against the other party!
It's hard to describe how wonderful the look on Rocky's face is at the moment, shame, anger, resentment?
Anyway, Hax was taken aback when he happened to see the look on his dragon's face, and then quickly controlled his eyes not to look at the black dragon that looked like it was about to go berserk, and by the way, he pulled the distance away by dozens of meters without a trace, until he was about to leave the distance of Rocky's sight.
Half a day passed quickly, and when Hux stepped forward with a confident face and said what he had come up with, Rocky's face finally improved, but he still had a straight face, without a smile.
"It's a good plan, but for the sake of the plan, I think you should hand over something, do you know what I mean?"
The smile on Hack's face froze instantly, although he had thought in advance that Rocky could not follow his plan so easily, but when he really said this profound sentence from Rocky's mouth, his mood immediately became extremely bad.
"But Lord Rocky, I'm just a low-level mage, and contract spells are not at all something I can master now, if you don't feel at ease with me, I can swear in the name of the goddess of magic......"
After Hax finished speaking, he really made an oath in the name of Mystra, the goddess of magic, with a serious face.
However, when he finished his vow, he was confronted with Rocky's strange gaze like a fool, which made him very uncomfortable and embarrassed at the same time.
“mdzz!”
Suddenly Rocky said something that Hax didn't understand, and a dragon claw pressed against his shoulder, knocking him to the ground with one claw.
The dragon's claws pressed lightly on the frightened Hucks' chest, and Rocky's dragon head lowered his head, allowing his skeletal face to face Hucks's face, and then opened his mouth full of sharp teeth and roared, "Listen, I'm in a bad mood right now, so don't try to challenge my patience with your wits again, do you understand?"
The last roar made both of Hux's eardrums burst, and the roar that went straight into his mind gave him the illusion of being attacked by a sonic spell.
Fortunately, the mage's will was still strong, and despite the unbearable headache, he knew exactly what he should do at the moment.
Resisting the urge to cover his ears, he raised his hands and shouted, "Everything is according to your will." ”
He was afraid that if he said this slowly, the dragon claws on his chest would cut through the thin layer of skin and flesh, and pull out his heart and eat it.
No one would think there was anything wrong with a black dragon doing this, and neither would he!
