Chapter XIV Covenants

Richard vaguely felt that most of the words of this mysterious Faceless Rider might be true, but he couldn't believe them all. He decided to figure out the most important part of the Chosen Guardian again, and shouted, "Faceless, kneel!"

This order is a mandatory order in the Divine Grace Statement, and the contents of the order will be carried out immediately by the Chosen Guardians, whether they want it or not. This is determined by the power of time core in the body of the Chosen Guardian, and if it is not transferred by their will, ordinary Chosen Guardians are powerless to resist at all, even if they want to self-destruct, they can't do it.

Richard shouted, but the Faceless Rider didn't react, just looked at Richard with a sneer.

Richard suddenly had an alarm in his heart, and he was so shocked that he flashed back without thinking about it!

Several bands of time flew from the altar, binding Richard firmly in the air. No matter how much force he used, Richard would be mercilessly knocked back by the light of time. The collision between the two forces was completely unequal, and the power of time was so vast that Richard felt as if he was hitting a complete dimensional crystal wall!

After several attempts in a row, Richard was certainly not simply resisting with force, he took turns using several force propulsion methods, while also trying to trace the source of the opponent's power from the trajectory that was bounced back. The true talent showed its power at this time, and gradually tracked the fluctuations of the power of time, and Richard suddenly found that he was actually fighting against the entire altar space!

During the ceremony, the Altar of Eternity and the Dragon of Time was completely in another mysterious time and space, and the power of time accumulated over countless years was not known how strong it was, how could Richard shake it?

At this time, Faceless's words also verified Richard's thoughts: "In the Altar of Time, the power of time can be temporarily invoked by me, no matter how powerful you are, don't want to fight against me here." ”

She stretched out her hand to Richard again, and the time that bound Richard retreated back to the altar, and Richard was free again.

Faceless said lightly: "The drinking order just now is the last offense I can tolerate. If there is a next time, you are welcome. I repeat, don't try to give orders to me. ”

Richard's feelings didn't fluctuate much, he just stared at Faceless and said, "But you just said that because I summoned you into this world, you will help me in battle." ”

"Of course. ”

Richard questioned unceremoniously, saying, "But how can you help me if you don't obey my orders? On the battlefield, a knight acting on his own is by no means helping me, but interfering with me. ”

Faceless was a little surprised, she didn't expect that after showing the disparity in power, Richard would show such a tough attitude, as if he could give up such a powerful help of her at any time for the sake of this question, and the help of two top-level sacrifices could be reached at a single surface.

The pale golden power of time flowing in her deep pupils had not yet fully subsided, and it brushed over Richard, as if trying to discern the truth in his words. Richard frowned, holding back an instinctive counterattack, the glance just now gave him the feeling that his soul had been directly touched by insight magic.

Faceless smiled again and said, "It seems that you are very confident in yourself! This is a knight's duty. ”

Richard frowned slightly and asked, "Faceless, if you can not be bound by the Chosen Guardian, why do you still follow me? Summoning you to this world is nothing in your eyes, right?"

"You're smart. Actually, to put it bluntly, my level cap needs to get Divine Grace to increase, and I've heard that you are very good at getting Sacrificial Divine Grace. So I want to make a deal with you, I'll help you fight, and in return, you'll need to give me a share of the Divine Grace so that I can level up. Of course, the higher my rank, the more it will help you. ”

Richard pointed at Faceless and said, "The deal itself is not a problem, but what do you do with this?"

Richard was referring to one of the Frontrider's equipment.

The faceless slight strength stimulated all the attributes of the equipment in the whole body, and then said in a natural tone: "Take a good look, if it wasn't for me to do it myself, do you think that with that little power of time, you can create these things? With these equipment, how much of a bonus does it have to my combat power, I don't need to say more." So these gears, of course, outside of the trade, are what you should give me. In fact, you have taken a big advantage. ”

After taking a closer look at the attributes of those equipment one by one, Richard was suddenly shocked, this mysterious Faceless Horseman was actually a legendary level in all his equipment! And with the little time power she consumed, it was a little reluctant to even redeem the most ordinary legendary equipment in the normal sacrifice.

Richard thought about it and decided to compromise with reality, so he stretched out his hand to Faceless and said, "Then I hope that the cooperation will be happy in the future!" The handshake is the etiquette of the alliance between partners, which means equality rather than master-slave.

Faceless reached out and shook Richard's hand and said, "You're really smart." ”

"You've ever heard of me?" Richard remembered a detail.

"It's a message from Nayu. Faceless said.

Richard suddenly said: "Naiyou said that she also has a sister, it turned out to be you!"

"That woman actually wants to come ......" Faceless paused, his tone changed suddenly, and he said, "But after I persuaded her, she gave me this opportunity." ”

Richard was speechless, and he didn't need to think about it to know how Faceless "persuaded". He looked at the empty altar and said, "The sacrifice is over, let's go out." ”

"Wait a minute. Faceless stopped Richard and reached out and pulled out a finger-sized emerald seed from Richard's pocket.

This seed was actually a high-level sacrifice, and it was also the last sacrifice that Richard was preparing for emergencies. When Faceless took the sacrifice from Richard, Richard fell into that immobile state again. It seems that as Faceless said, within the Altar of Time, no matter what she wants to do, Richard has no room for resistance, and Richard's power is not completely defenseless.

Richard didn't resist or protest, just quietly watched the faceless next move. After all, this high-level sacrifice was not enough to raise the level cap of Faceless. And even if it is used without face, Richard does not necessarily suffer.

Faceless tossed the seed directly onto the altar, instantly turning it into pure time power. She looked at the rich Cheng dΓΉ of the power of time, and suddenly reached out and grabbed it in the void, and actually grabbed a large amount of time power out of thin air!

At this moment, Richard seemed to hear Nolan's exclamation, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Most of the power of time was inhaled by Faceless as if absorbing water, and her breath also rose steadily, from level fourteen to level sixteen in the blink of an eye! The power of time inhaled by Faceless was not at the level of a top-level sacrifice, and it was only equivalent to the divine grace of the Torrent of Life for ten years, but it was actually enough for her to break through the level cap once. It seems that as she said, although the power of time has been used by her, the efficiency of using it far exceeds that of normal sacrifices, and Richard is not at a loss.

There was still a little bit of time power left in the air, and he didn't let go of a trace of it, he grabbed it all in his hand, pinched it a few times, and pinched it out, and threw it to Richard, saying, "This thing is for you, it's cheap for you!"

Richard subconsciously caught the golden seed, and a simple message immediately appeared in his consciousness: "Divine grace: Golden Heart." This seed will create a new heart or core in the recipient's body. ”

Seeing this explanation, Richard, who had just had a second heart, was stunned on the spot! He had heard of this divine grace, but like all options that can directly increase one's strength, the probability of appearance can only rely on the favor of Lady Luck. An extra heart doesn't just mean extra strength. With three hearts, most of Richard's obstacles to the legend were removed. In this way, the value of the golden heart that appears at this time is difficult to measure. But Richard clearly saw that just now, Faceless just used the power of time equivalent to a primary sacrifice to pinch out a golden heart!

Seeing that Richard was still stunned, he said facelessly: "If you don't eat it yet, do you plan to give it away?" This thing is a cut version, it is only useful for you, and it may have some side effects. What do you want to do with all this bit of time?"

Richard silently swallowed the seed, and then left the altar with Faceless.

At the entrance of the temple, Nolan was thinking about something in a daze, she looked very weak and tired, and her breath was even weaker than that of the few trainee priests on the side.

Seeing the faceless who was silently following Richard, Nolan perked up and asked, "Succeeded?"

Richard nodded, "Well, it's faceless. It must have come from that place. What's wrong with you?"

Nolan smiled with relief and said, "It's good if it succeeds." There's only so much I can do to help you. Don't worry about me, since you have decided to do this, you will definitely have to pay a price. Luckily, the price paid this time was much smaller than I expected. ”

Richard looked at Nolan, but didn't know what to say, and finally only said, "Thank you!"

Nolan glanced at Faceless. At this time, Faceless stood quietly a step and a half behind Richard, not moving, and he couldn't see any difference from ordinary Chosen Guards.

However, Nolan noticed her level and a piece of equipment, and his eyes showed a slight surprise, and he said to Richard: "In the future, try to tilt your resources towards the Chosen Guardian and increase her level as much as possible." But she should be able to help you by now. Okay, you go back, I need ...... Rested. Speaking of which, Nolan was exhausted.

Richard said goodbye to Nolan and walked outside the Eternal Dragon Palace.
