Chapter 156: Ten Covenants

Hearing Jessica's question, Feng Xue didn't play any tricks of god turns, but nodded:

"It is undeniable that there are always some people in this world who are gifted with language, and in this team, there happens to be such a genius, who has mastered the language of most of the laborers during his labor career, and has established a good relationship with them through storytelling—you can imagine how valuable it is to have a person who can communicate and tell stories in that environment where every day is a matter of life."

Jessica nodded when she heard this, she has played wilderness survival, and she knows very well how important it is to be a person who can chat in extreme environments.

"So, what's the use of that metal plate?" Jessica was very interested in such a legendary story, so she naturally became a joker, and Feng Xue did not become a riddler, and directly gave the answer:

"This language genius was born in a merchant family in the Yan Kingdom, but because of the times, his family was in the middle of the road, and he became a laborer, but this does not change the fact that he is educated.

Relying on Lian Meng's guessing, he understood the Gu Yan language on the metal plate, although he was skeptical, but he had been reduced to a laborer, and he still took the risk of hiding the metal plate with his teammates. And this hidden metal plate is actually a contract. ”

"Contract?!" When Jessica heard this word, she almost instantly thought of the legendary demon contract, and then looked at Mr. "Deal", who didn't quite admit that he was a demon, with an expression of "I gradually understand everything".

"Well, the contract, it is impossible to determine the exact age of the contract, but it can only be confirmed that it is a 'executioner' contract, according to the contract, this contract is an appendage of a certain code, in order to maintain the balance between morality and law, and to make up for the possible loopholes in the law, the person who signs the contract will gain great power, but he must also abide by the terms of the contract and strive to maintain the balance between law and morality."

"That is, on the other side of the scale, it is not gold bars, but laws? Or rather, legal instruments? Jessica's focus was obviously a little crooked, but Feng Xue shook her head:

"Originally, on the box that contained this contract, the balance was indeed the heart and the document, representing conscience and law, but this coin is not, because the concept of this team is different from the contract."

Feng Xue tapped her index finger on the table, Jessica realized that she had interrupted the "Bard's Epic", and immediately fell silent, and Feng Xue continued to tell the story-

After the young man hid the metal plate, he began to work translation and research, fortunately, the civilization of the Yan Kingdom has not been broken, and there are still many similarities between the ancient characters and the traditional Chinese characters of the modern period, when he deciphered the above content, he learned that the core of this contract is only "maintaining balance", "upholding justice", and "based on morality" three points, on the basis of not violating these three points, the contractor can write the power he wants on the contract, and the contract will also generate new terms according to the power.

He told his teammates about the contents of the contract, and they only thought of it as a story similar to the Wishing Lamp, but even so, in an environment where work is nothing but work, they couldn't help but fantasize about what kind of power the executioner should have if the contract was true.

"In the beginning, everyone was talking about things like 'a hero or knight in the history of their own country may be an executioner', but later, everyone couldn't help but fantasize about what kind of power they wanted if they were executioners.

"Some people say that it should be like the legendary chivalrous man, killing one person in ten steps, and not leaving a thousand miles; Some people say that it should be favored by the gods, with infinite strength and invulnerability; Some people also say that there should be endless money, and only in this way can they do chivalrous deeds every day without thinking about their own life problems......

Later, the young man summed up everyone's thoughts and wrote them on the back of the metal plate with a carbon strip, and when he saw the guards with guns, he added one last one - to be able to defy guns.

"But as the writing continued, the linguistic genius found a problem, obviously the metal plate was very small, and the carbon bar was very thick, but he did not have any obstacles to writing, and even the metal plate seemed to never finish, no matter how many entries he wrote, there was still a lot of room to spare......"

"Sounds like handwriting input on a smartphone......" Jessica couldn't help but mutter, before she said:

"So he found out that the contract was real and became an executioner?"

"They're the executioners, to be exact." Feng Xue corrected Jessica's guess, "When all the expectations were written, the pitch-black characters made of carbon bars began to slowly disappear, and then transformed into the 'Traditional Yanwen' used by that linguistic genius, except for the first three, a total of seven contracts. ”

"Seven ......" Jessica immediately picked up the pen, although there was a voice recorder, she still wanted to record it all herself.

"First, the executioner must hide his identity in exchange for a means of collecting interest.

"Second, the executioner must not injure the innocent in exchange for the skill of killing.

"Thirdly, the executioner must have killed a person by commission, in exchange for an infinite amount of wealth.

"Fourth, the executioner must accept a fair commission (homomorphic revenge) in exchange for the support of mortals (not to be reported by disinterested witnesses).

"Fifth, the executioner must carefully investigate and confirm the authenticity of the commission before acting, in exchange for the ability to distinguish between right and wrong.

"Sixth, the executioner must act alone in exchange for the strength of a thousand.

"Seventh, the executioner may not use a firearm as a weapon in exchange for protection from the fear of flying arrows.

"The above seven articles, plus the three articles that must maintain the balance between law and morality, must uphold justice, and must meet moral standards, make a total of ten articles, which were later called the 'Ten Covenants' by the Libra Organization."

……

Jessica put the ten contracts on the paper, a strong sense of déjà vu appeared in her heart, she couldn't help but cast her eyes on Feng Xue, but thinking of the clause in the contract that "you must hide your identity", she still suppressed this question, and just said:

"And then?"

"And then? Then it was this team that recognized that the contract was a real supernatural force, and then according to the method of linguistic genius translation, signed the contract, relied on the magical power granted by the contract, escaped from the ruins, and then established the Libra organization with the help of endless wealth and great power, they pursued the homomorphic revenge concept of 'tooth for tooth, blood for blood', and brought justice to those who could not obtain justice through the law. ”

"Don't skip the best part!"

The coin thing is quite important, but if you explain it in detail, this chapter can't write it, so I simply opened a single chapter to introduce this thing later, don't worry, it's free
