Chapter 828: A Mutual Engagement Pact
"In that case, what do I get by winning this bet?" asked Lelouch unhurriedly in response to Yunokia's sudden request.
Yunokia sneered: "What do you want to get?Let me be your servant?Find out your own situation Black Dragon, no matter how much information you have, I am now willing to accept the plan you put forward is already the greatest tolerance, you must know that I have a way to turn you into a corpse and extract all the secrets directly from your mind." โ
"Indeed, but this is obviously too much for me, so I might as well bet on something. If I win, I hope Miss Yunokia can give me a construct figure, okay?"
Yunokia was slightly stunned, what is the other party's request?
Originally, the constructing figure was already going on sale, and it was something that could be bought with money in the market in the future, but now the other party proposed it as a bargaining chip for the gambling contractโโWhat is this for?
"Yes!"
"But Miss Yunogia, I'm not interested in asking for something that can be bought on the market, but a particular model from your previous product launch. โ
"You know a lot. โ
"People have a lot of mouths, and it's human nature to show off the secrets they have, so are you willing to accept it?"
Yunokia was silent for a while, but Leluxiu's indifferent sentence "As long as you win, won't it be fine?" made Yunozia grit her teeth and promise, if she loses, she will lose the gem left by the son of the star, so why care about a constructed body puppet, as the black dragon in front of him said, as long as you win!
You can't lose!
For this, Yunokia is still confident, in addition to the manpower of the entire free city, the huge intelligence network of the blood clan is also used for herself, the upper district is almost in her own hands, and the various large and small gangs in the lower level are also like dogs can obey their own dispatch at any time, and the most important thing is that the ornament left by the son of the star has resonated with the gem, as long as he is at the right distance, he can detect the location of the gem, even if the boy hides his body with the help of the master, it is useless, and the demon lord cannot overcome the power that does not belong to the rules of this worldใ
"In that case, I'm going to join this bet too!" Suddenly, Crossed, who was in charge of mediation, suddenly said.
Yunokia glared at Crossside behind the curtain, as if questioning why he was involved.
"I'm a little interested in the power of this gem and want to study it. โ
"You're going to get lost~ Crossside! I advise you not to get involved, I'm now able to tolerate this bet to the limit of patience. โ
"I'm not trying to covet it, I'll give you the gem afterwards. Crossside said directly with a smile: "Besides, Yunozia~ Everyone who sat down again today knows the power of this gem, even if they choose to stay out of the matter verbally, but in private, do you think I will honestly ignore this matter?"
For a moment, Yunozia was silent for a moment: "โI like to work with transcendents like you, Crossed! But sometimes I have to say that transcendents are indeed too straightforward. โ
"It's better than a mortal who likes to beat around the bush, and wastes a lot of time on polite words every time. โ
Crossside smiled and nodded with satisfaction, Yunokia should know this very well, as a transcendent, it is impossible for her own side to stand idly by in the face of this kind of thing, sometimes human beings always like this kind of intrigue game, like to put on a coat of so-called elegance, justice, and fairness, but he feels that since the problem has been put on the surface, it is better to open the skylight directly and say something, why waste each other's time and energy in beating around the bush.
"Rather than keep us from acting in the shadows, let's get involved directly on the surface, and I propose that we make this bet without interfering with each other while always excluding other transcendents who covet gems, do you agree?" Klossard continued.
"I agree!" said Lelouch.
Anyway, the transcendents who are eyeing the soul stone plus Yunokia, Klosed and the blood clan are followed by demons from the twisted void, and I don't know how many other transcendents lurking in the city have been attracted in the game the night before, anyway, there are many lice now, so it is not bad to unite with Clossid and others to find the soul stone and clear out the other competitors at the same time.
"Also as a bet, if I win, then Zero you and your companion become my subordinates, as for Yunokia, because now we are in a cooperative relationship, so we don't have to pay anything. โ
It's better than being a servant before.
"Then if I winโโYour Highness Crossside, do you have to give something?"
"Of course, what do you want?"
Lelou Xiu thought for a moment: "I hope to form a mercenary group to take root in this city, and with the influence of Your Highness Crossside, your Black Stone Ring Chamber of Commerce and Black Yao Mercenaries, can you provide me with a little help when the time comes?"
"You want to grow in this city?"
"I just want to try to change it, and if I can, I hope that this mission will be the last, and it will obviously be easier to develop in the human world. โ
Crossside smiled with an appreciative look, "Yes, if you win, I can provide you with the necessary support." โ
"In that case, then the deal, Your Highness!"
"And is this bet a contract that has been contracted?" said Closed as he looked at Yunokia.
โ As always. โ
Yunozia seemed a little afraid to look at Crossside directly, and was suddenly reluctant to say anything more on the subject.
In addition to the cooperation between the transcendents, the contract is usually an optional means, just like the real name contract signed between the Demon Lord and the boy Claire before.
However, the power of the real name contract is very terrifying, with the power of indelible and enforceable, usually the transcendent will not choose the real name contract without absolute certainty, because signing it is equivalent to pushing life to the gambling table, and a powerful transcendent like the king of the white dragon is unlikely to sign this kind of contract with a person who has just stepped into the transcendent realm that does not conform to the identity of the two parties, such as the cooperation with Crossside, the two sides only use a piece of paper to guarantee cooperation without any mandatory contract, and rely on each other's needsใ
The transcendent is not above board, on the contrary, because the power that has reached different levels is not bound by the laws and rules of the world, the treachery between the transcendent is more common than that of ordinary mortals, after all, the most power-seeking transcendent will never be stingy in using power to deal with disputes.
Originally, Lelouch was mentally prepared, but Yunozia refused to sign the contract, not because she didn't know how to sign the real name contract, but because she seemed to have another hidden meaning
"So Zero, your plan has been adopted, and it's time to tell us what you have, right?"
At this point, Clossard slowly turned to Lelouch and said, and at the same time, Yunokia's gaze shifted as well, and Lelouch could even feel the gaze coming from behind the curtain even more dazzling than when he first mentioned the plan.
"A new son of the stars has arrivedโโ"
Half an hour later!
On the way back, Lelouch thought back to the harvest of participating in the invitation, on the whole, although he was not satisfied, but his goal was also achieved, temporarily resolving the struggle with the transcendental, especially Yunogia and Closed, these two are now any of them can not afford to provoke existence, in fact, the threat to Yunojia is also a risky move, if Yunojia is not afraid of threatening herself, it is helpless, attracting the attention of the Holy See and the gods here, it is undoubtedly equivalent to losing the opportunity to find the soul stone, fortunately, Yunozia is obviously more scruples than herselfใ
Now there's the boy's story!
Lelouch couldn't help but think, where would Claire flee after being so badly injured after fleeing that night?
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
After a night of chaos, Claire was seriously injured but still escaped with the power of the demon master, the city security team and the forces of Yunozia have launched a dragnet search throughout the city, and launched a close search of every corner, especially the underground waterways, warehouses, garbage dumps, slums, including the upper districts, many places where people can hide, the boy is so badly injured that even with the help of the power of gems, he will not be able to recover for a while, and now he must be hiding somewhere to recuperate.
If you don't find the cunning fox before it recovers, it will be even more difficult to catch him afterwards!
However, today, a consciousness that has been silent in the dark has slowly awakened
Where the hell is โโ?
Claire slowly wakes up, and is greeted by a dark room and an unfamiliar ceiling, and she seems to be lying asleep in a bed somewhere. The body seems to be painless, but there are still some confusions in the mind, and some broken memories are constantly rolling up from the depths of the mind.
"Hmmโโ"
With a groan, Claire slowly tried to sit up, but suddenly found that her legs could not move a bit, and she was holding her slightly aching forehead with some uncertainty, and her memory seemed to be stuck in that night, and she seemed to pass out the moment she retrieved the gem.
Now that I'm there, what's wrong with me?
In the mind of the demon Misty, who is also the fallen lord Belismi, the voice slowly sounded. (To be continued.) )
