When Griffith opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Gerald's expressionless face.

"You've been in a coma for three days. Gerald's tone was a little cold, completely devoid of the joy that an apprentice should have had after escaping death. "Eat something first, I'll ask you something later. ”

Griffith looked around and saw that he was still in the restraint room, but with an extra bed underneath him. The magic runes all over the hall lit up, which meant that all the protective magic was functioning normally.

He hadn't moved anywhere for three days, and with Gerald's attitude after waking up, Griffith probably guessed the reason.

Fortunately, I got some abilities from the purple light ball, otherwise it would have been really difficult to deal with the past.

The almost transparent magical servant brought a large plate of food, and Griffith barely sat up with his limp arms on his feet, his nose just smelling the fragrance, and his stomach rumbled in protest after three days of hunger.

For unconscious patients, although there is magic and magic to hang their lives, there are no catheters and liquid food in this world, and Griffith's stomach is literally hungry for three days.

Looking at the roast chicken and roast meat with the tempting aroma, Griffiths was hungry to death, but he didn't dare to eat such a greasy thing right away. He first drank a large bowl of milk oatmeal, ate two buns, and wiped his mouth with a napkin to indicate that he had finished eating.

"Just so much?" asked Gerald in a concerned tone.

"Maybe I've slept too long and my appetite isn't good. Griffith would not say that he was afraid that his stomach would not be able to stand it, because the treatment of diseases in this world basically depends on divine magic, and real medicine cannot be developed, and ordinary people have no concept of "health preservation" at all. Those necromancers who like to fiddle with corpses should have a lot of potential, but they seem to have gone astray, and instead made themselves inhuman, ghostly.

When the magical servants removed the leftovers, there was an eerie silence between the master and the apprentice.

Thankfully, the awkward atmosphere was soon interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Lady Charlotte?" Griffith looked at the visitor in surprise.

Considering that the symbiotic contract that went wrong was provided by the gold bishop, it was only reasonable that Ms. Charlotte was invited. But in this way, things are getting bigger and bigger.

Gerald is a member of the Council of Thousand Sails, as is Charlotte. Such a big man, every move, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him all the time. When two legislators come together, it is easy to arouse unnecessary associations and even suspicions. It is estimated that it will not be long before the news of Charlotte's visit to Gerald will spread throughout the upper echelons of Thousand Sails City, and at that time, whether he can't help himself or not, Griffith, as a key person, will definitely be scrutinized by the big guys.

"It's a disaster. Griffith sighed in his heart.

"Charlotte, excuse me. Gerald nodded, and the two clearly had some kind of tacit understanding.

Without saying a word, the Gold Coin Bishop threw a magic spell at Griffith.

A faint white light lingered around Griffith's body, and then slowly dimmed, and Gerald and Charlotte's faces were a little lighter when they saw this.

"Is this a Level 1 Divine Skill - Detecting Evil?" Griffith's tone was puzzled, mixed with a little dissatisfaction. "Teacher, do you think I was lured by the devil and became a cultist?"

Detecting evil is the favorite magic used by those churches that claim to be righteous, and it is also the fuse that has been criticized by countless people and caused countless fights. The essence of this magic is that the priest asks the god if the person is evil, and then the god judges according to his own standards, and if he is determined to be evil, the recipient will glow red.

It sounds beautiful, as long as you put a few priests to guard the gates of Thousand Sails City, and when you see people, you will be able to detect evil, so that you are not afraid of bad people committing adultery.

However, the reality is skinny.

There is no uniform standard for what is good and what is evil. For example, a short pound is an absolute evil in the eyes of the god of justice, but the goddess of business is very tolerant of this. How can a businessman's business be regarded as evil if he takes advantage of his own ability?

Different standards can easily lead to quarrels, so casually throwing evil at others to detect evil is an offense in itself.

Secretly observing the expressions of the two, Griffith knew that his performance had worked.

A young man who finally escaped after suffering an accident will inevitably feel unhappy when he wakes up and finds that he is suspected by his elders. Griffith's reaction was reasonable, and even shrewd people like Gerard and Charlotte didn't feel anything out of the ordinary.

The purple ball of light said that his priesthood involved "deception", which seemed to be true, and Griffith felt that his acting skills seemed to have made some kind of breakthrough. But as soon as the thought turned, and the thought that he hadn't completely passed the test, Griffith's hanging heart couldn't help but get nervous.

"Griffith, please understand. There was a problem with the previous ritual, and it involved the devil, and we can't know what happened to you, and it is not good to say that your soul is controlled by the devil, or that the whole person is disguised by the devil. For the safety of the entire Thousand Sails City, we must be cautious. ”

Speaking of this, Gerald's tone became serious again: "Moreover, in order to prove your innocence, you must also cooperate with us. However, since the detection of evil did not react, at least the worst did not happen. "Transfiguration is a natural ability of the devil, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, but for veterans who are experienced in fighting, it is very simple, as long as there is only a level 1 divine skill, the evil aura will reveal its true face.

After confirming that Griffith had not been dropped, Gerald gave Charlotte a look, and another magic was thrown at Griffith.

"This is a lie, and you must answer honestly when Master Gerald asks you. Charlotte quipped.

"Griffith, tell me what happened to you during the ritual in its entirety, without leaving anything out. Gerald's question was waterless.

"After the contract was activated, I saw a huge devil. Instead of witnessing the covenant, the devil kept threatening and intimidating me into giving my soul. I remembered the stories I had heard before, that some weak devils like to use illusions to intimidate the cowards who are targeted, so I wanted to give myself a 'protection against evil'. That way, if the other person is just bluffing, I can also spell it. ”

"Clever choice. Charlotte interjected.

Protecting against evil is a level 1 magic, which is a bit unpopular, but in the face of an absolutely evil creature like a devil, it has a very good suppression effect.

"The devil seemed to have spent most of his power on creating illusions, and when he saw that I had not been fooled, he cried out to show me a good look, and then my head suddenly tingled, and I probably fainted, and I don't know what happened after that. ”

"It's all true. Charlotte's confirmation made both Gerald and Griffith secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the contract is fake, and it must be a hoax made by a little devil. A smile finally appeared on Gerald's face. Charlotte is a high-ranking priest who must be on the radar of the Lady of Fortune, and Gerald doesn't think her magic can go wrong.

It seems to have passed. Griffith was also in a good mood, and what he just said was naturally false.

That purple ball of light was not a little devil, but a real god, one of the most powerful beings in the crystal wall system at one time.

The crystal wall system where the Titania continent is located is called Dax World.

Ruling over this crystal wall system is a god named Io.

About 10,000 years ago, Io suddenly knocked the gods out of the kingdom of God and forced them to enter the main material realm in the form of saints, as if to find something extremely important. The next hundred years, known as the Year of Turmoil, saw dozens of ancient gods killed and many more new ones created, most of which was a human assassin named Shiloh.

Shiloh, like Griffith, is a time-traveler from outside the Dax Crystal Wall. In the turbulent years, he successively won the priesthood of murder, destruction, death, fraud, and illusion, and became the most powerful god in the entire crystal wall system, known as the "Lord of the Dark Sun", and his power even approached Io.

However, its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden.

Shiloh's character is arrogant and arrogant, and his various acts of death after becoming a god perfectly illustrate what it means to be "rampant once you have your will". Then, tragedy struck, not long after the end of the turbulent year, at the instigation of Io, the most powerful gods of the time joined forces to destroy the church of Shiloh, after which the kingdom of God was torn apart, the most important priesthoods were forcibly stripped away, and Shiloh himself was sealed in the astral plane, guarded by the sun god Amantana.

However, Shiloh is not stupid, although he is arrogant. After a premonition that he was about to be unlucky, he made full use of the "fraud" priesthood, leaving behind a large number of back doors, hoping to make a comeback in the future. The symbiotic contract Griffith received from Charlotte is one of them.

The effect of that paper contract is naturally not symbiosis, but a temporary communication with the Shiloh body that is sleeping in the astral plane.

Although he was caught, Griffith was a blessing in disguise, not only removing the fragments of the soul of the original owner of the body, but also being favored by Shiloh and becoming the chosen person of the god. As for the benefits, Griffith is still being stared at by Gerald and Charlotte, and has no chance to try it for the time being.

As for why Shiloh slept for 10,000 years, why did he suddenly want a voter and elect Griffith?

Could it be that this is the aura of the legendary protagonist?

The reason is actually quite simple.

Griffith, like Shiloh, has a soul that comes from outside the Dax Crystal Wall system and has a natural resistance to prophecy magic. The earth has the so-called "Laplace demon" hypothesis, and if you know the state of every atom in the universe, you can calculate the past and future of the entire universe.

Prophecy spells, in essence, are also just calculations. However, the souls from outside the crystal wall system are unknown variables, and they are naturally difficult to predict.

This trait, which once helped Shiloh fish in troubled waters during the turbulent years, and almost knocked Io to the ground, now allows Griffith to make up nonsense in front of Charlotte without any pressure without worrying about being exposed by the detection of lies - the identity of the traveler and the deceptive god that Shiloh still keeps, even Io may not be able to see through Griffith's disguise.

Next, Gerald asked Griffith a lot of questions, and Griffith responded carefully, and finally didn't show up.

"Well, looks like you've recovered. "When Gerald's goal is achieved, he doesn't want to waste any more time.

Griffith's adventure, Gerald didn't get any benefit at all, and he didn't think that his magic tower was a sanatorium, so he simply opened his mouth to drive people away: "Your servants have been waiting outside for a few days, you should hurry up and go home with them." And the baby dragon, if you don't want it now, I can deal with it for you, but because it's hatched, the price may be lower. ”

"Forget it, I'd better keep it. "Although the symbiosis contract was not signed, Griffith's original purpose was only to go further in magic. Now, although the result is very different from the original plan, the purpose has been achieved, and there are many benefits, Griffith is in the right mood, and simply decides to keep the dragon and keep it as a pet.

"This time it's my sister I'm not good, I'll apply to the church as soon as I go back, and this time I promise to give you a real symbiosis contract. Charlotte left with Griffith, and as soon as she walked out of the Magic Tower, the Cardinal of Gold smiled and apologized.

Griffiths was a little scared.

The so-called once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, no matter how guaranteed it is, the symbiosis contract is also the product of the devil, even the wealth lady does not dare to guarantee 100% safety.

"I'm not afraid of your laughter, I'm scared this time, and now that I think about it, using the Symbiosis Contract was too risky. Why don't you do me a favor?"
