Chapter 590: Purging and Anger
"So, sign this pledge."
Under the Hydra Palace, in the claustrophobic hall, in the multi-functional hall dedicated to Mediga, work, rest, and research, with a little dim magic light, Mediga took out a black parchment roll.
On the parchment scroll, with a faint pungent smell, dozens of contract terms were written in blood-colored characters.
Writing is a strange cuneiform script, and every stroke and stroke is like a knife splitting an axe, full of a strong sense of power. Joe looked at the words, a faint vision appeared in front of him, and he heard a murmur next to his ears.
There are three strange coats of arms on the top of the parchment.
The emblem in the center, which Joe happened to know, he had seen in the Masked Cat Club in Tulum Harbor, was the black serpentine symbol of the '∞' representing 'Al'.
To the left of the El emblem is a scepter emblem coiled around two serpents. The shape of the scepter is simple, the double snake is black and white, and the simple emblem has inexplicably exerted great pressure on Joe's soul.
On the right side of the Aier emblem is an equally simple balance emblem.
On one side of the scale is a heart, and on the other side is a feather.
This balance emblem is a bit like the order balance Ram itself, the object of Joe's sacrifice.
Similarly, this Balance Emblem Seal exuded a faint soul coercion, making Qiao feel uncomfortable all over his body.
At the bottom of the parchment scroll, there are thirteen emblems that also have a faint coercion, all of which are simple in shape, but they are wonderful in their own right, giving people an extremely strange feeling.
Mediga slapped the sheepskin roll heavily in front of Joe.
"Sign it...... I think there is a high probability that you will not be able to understand this ancient 'Divine Deed Text', and I am too lazy to temporarily give you a lesson in the Divine Deed Text, this thing is too complicated, and it is difficult for a specialized paleographer to understand what these words together represent without thirty years of research. ”
"I can tell you roughly, though, that it's a constraint...... Those who take a sixth-order potion from the Imperial Imperial Family cannot pose a threat to the Imperial Family itself or the Empire. ”
"This pact is made up of the unspeakable glory of sixteen noble, exalted beings whose names have been forgotten by the world, but whose power still exists in the world...... If the signatories inflict harm on the royal family and the empire, they are bound to pay a terrible price. ”
Mediga raised her head, and under the overlapping cumbersome eyelids, a pair of small eyes shone brightly, and she looked at Qiao's round, white face plate very seriously.
"Not only you, but also the lucky little imp head you are going to give the sixth-order potion, they must also sign their names on this contract...... A transcendent sixth-order who has truly mastered all the power is a field army of one-man troops. ”
"If they erupt in full force, they can deal a devastating blow to a city of a million people."
"Once they act recklessly, they can cause great panic among the people in one of the provinces of the empire, and cause great damage to society, economy, and the ruling power of the empire."
"Therefore, the royal family is very cautious about the bestowal of sixth-order elixirs."
Mediga sighed heavily, "Do you know the cost of this sheepskin contract?" The cost of this sheepskin scroll must also be borne by you, you know? 50,000,000,000 gold marks...... This contract, 50 million gold marks. ”
Joe looked at Mediga in horror, he took a step back and exclaimed, "Ah, fifty million...... It's really quack, well done...... My brother Gorkin, and his group of guys, when they were taking the sixth-order potion, ......"
Mediga rolled her eyes at Joe, "They don't have to sign this damn contract. ”
"They are soldiers, they are soldiers who have been tested in the Imperial Army and have proven their loyalty and bravery."
"The Empire, and the Imperial Family, trust these soldiers who shed their blood on the battlefield for the Empire...... So, they got the sixth-order potion, and they didn't need to sign this damn contract. ”
"The Empire trusts them!"
"The Empire trusts the soldiers who sacrifice everything for the Empire."
"In the history of the empire, all the soldiers who have been trusted by the royal family, they have all fulfilled their oath with their own actions, with their own blood and lives, and perfectly repaid the trust of the royal family in them."
Mediga rolled her eyes at Joe, "You, Joe Jon Wittou, have also gained the trust of the Empire...... The two little guys beside you, Lan Mu Jin and Lan Kikyo, have also gained this trust after being identified by the Imperial Army's Military Intelligence Bureau. ”
"However, you asked for thirty sixth-order potions, and Salian recognized the number...... Then, there are twenty-eight sixth-order elixirs...... Aha, none of the bastards around you can be trusted, except for Lan Mu Hibiscus and Lan Kikyo! ”
"So, they have to sign this deed...... As their lord and their companions, you, Lan Mu Hibiscus, and Lan Kikyo, must sign this contract and bear joint and several liability! ”
Joe stared at Mediga fiercely: "Ah, the people around me, not trustworthy? Mr. Stans, and Uncle Tooth......"
Mediga pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from the inner pocket of her cloak: "This is information from some department of the Empire that you sent before you entered, your Mr. Stanns, is suspected of being involved in three major, vicious, and heretical violent incidents, including the annihilation of a team of the Knights of the Holy Inquisition of the Church of Golden Oaks. ”
"And your Uncle Ya, well, his glorious deeds are not difficult to investigate, and he has been implicated in two hundred and seventy-eight violent and criminal cases around the port of Tulum...... He himself was an aristocrat in exile, and he suspected that it had something to do with him, which led to the disgrace of some noble ladies and the breakdown of their families, and there are as many as twenty-three cases that can be found......"
Mediga looked at Joe with rolled eyes: "And the group of family guards around you...... Tsk, those big bosses, all of them are heroes...... Aha, they are all 'simple and good people' who are 'noble in character' and 'kind'......"
"The empire doesn't mind the outflow of a part of the sixth-order potion, whether it's in exchange for resources or gold marks, or to reward meritorious heroes, the empire doesn't mind having some sixth-order transcendent beings in the outside world."
"However, these forces cannot be turned against the Empire...... This is a very reasonable thing to do! ”
Jo shrugged his shoulders and swore as he grabbed the quill pen that Mediga had handed him.
He was about to write his name on the parchment scroll, when he suddenly stopped his hand and looked at Mediga a little suspiciously: "Well, it's to restrain us from causing harm to the Empire, and the rest ...... Whatever we want to do? ”
Mediga nodded and whistled lightly, "Anything else, whatever you want to do with this power...... What you do, you take responsibility for yourself...... Even if you kill the Pope of Daba...... Do what you do, and bear all the consequences. ”
Jo looked at the blood-colored handwriting on the parchment, licked his lips, and carefully signed his name at the end of the parchment, above the thirteen emblems.
Qiao Fen clearly used black ink, and his name fell on the parchment scroll, and his name suddenly burned, and after a breath, his name turned bloody, like a soldering iron brand, deeply imprinted into the parchment scroll.
"Remember, those potions, no matter which one of your commands you give them to use, must sign this contract before using them." Mediga nodded at the parchment: "The contract itself, fifty million gold marks...... Thirty sixth-order elixirs, because they are recognized by Salian, are a reward for the merits you have established this time, so they are provided to you free of charge without all costs. ”
"However, those guys around you, the other potions they need in the process of advancement, fifth-order shadow wolf, fourth-order saber-toothed wolf, third-order gray shadow fox, etc., the cost of these potions must be borne by you, you count a number of people, tell me the type and rank of potions they have taken, and I will give you a final price."
Mediga put away the parchment scroll and continued to roll her eyes at Joe: "Remember, if they have already taken other sequences of transcendent elixirs, before the third order, they can use the purification potion to wash away the evolutionary sequence in their bodies, and let them start using it again from the first-order spotted blue lizard." ”
"However, if they have already taken the third-order or higher potions of other sequences, then they will have no chance with the Abyss Six-Eyed Corrupting Demon Wolf at all, and the sequence has penetrated deep into their bodies and souls, and there is no turning back."
Qiao nodded seriously: "Don't worry, the elite guards of the Weitu family, if they take extraordinary potions, they will all be the Imperial Army Swamp Shadow Wolf Sequence...... Many of the guards of the Rittal family were retired soldiers, and they were ...... The relationship between the Vetots and the Duke of Ross was very good. ”
Mediga rolled her eyes again.
"Then, come with me, I'll prepare a sixth-order potion for you now...... Ah, it's a shame that your Apophis Palace was destroyed by those damn abyssal creatures, and this time, we wiped out tens of thousands of damned abyssal beasts with a lot of abyssal material on them. ”
"If it weren't for them, this time, I really wouldn't have been able to make you thirty of the little babies you want."
Lady Mega grabbed a scepter that was much taller than him, and walked step by step in front of Joe, leading Joe towards another hall.
After walking for a long time in the dim, deep corridor, Mediga suddenly looked back at Joe.
"Do you still have an impression of your childhood, or rather, what happened when you were a child?"
Mediga narrowed her eyes and giggled: "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else, I just want to see if Marquis Joe von Witu, who has turned Hyderabad upside down in the past two days, is a reckless fool or a clever little clever ghost...... People say that the smarter the doll, the more it remembers what happened when it was a child. ”
Joe glared at Mediga fiercely.
He snorted coldly, and his mind suddenly flashed through the dream-like scene he had experienced in the port of Tulum a few months ago.
That, that was the day that Laplasi came to his mind. (Chapter 9)
………………
Flame.
Blood.
Smoke.
Corpse.
Heavy downpour.
Hysterical lightning.
The biting cold, the suffocating high fever, the severe headache, the fainting again and again, and the convulsions.
Who is holding himself?
That familiar face?
Lightning streaked across the sky, bringing a burst of light.
The little face that was blue from the cold, the face of the young Gorkin.
He hugged himself tightly, trembling all over, whispering something in horror and horror.
………………
Joe gently waved the killing of Black Ringer in his hand and grinned at Mediga, "I remember...... But I won't tell you! ”
Mediga's smiling face froze, and she raised the scepter in her hand angrily: "Bastard boy! ”
