"What you Nishizawa ancestral 'alchemists' are best at are 'trading', 'exchange', 'contract', 'oath', and similar concepts." "For example, to exchange stones for gold, for example, to exchange gems for carp's tears, for example, to exchange bronze potions for supernatural power...... This series of 'unscientific' exchanges is the embodiment of alchemy.

"But I don't know how you did it - you used to hide it too well."

That's true.

Although the social system in his previous life fell apart, the five major forces that evolved from the five major countries still formed their own systems for a long time, and the strength deduced the sentence "Daddy is still your father".

Even he had never been able to obtain the true "alchemy" inheritance of the Nishizawa lineage, and it was only after they collapsed and destroyed that he was able to get a glimpse of it.

It's a pity.

Speaking of the words of the Ryuka, however, Shikoti immediately remembered an ancient Cizai word: Vaissa.

This semantic encompasses words such as "transaction", "agreement", "buying and selling", and if placed in the transcendent realm, it may describe the essence of "alchemy"!

And through the explanation of the words and songs, Shikoti also roughly understood that the "oath" shown in the "Primordial Codex" is the "Vesa" of the alchemist.

So the "unfulfilled oath" of the ancestors, taken literally, is the "unfinished deal" of the ancestors?

According to the timing of the triggering of this "oath", nine times out of ten it is related to the destruction of the carp population.

At that moment, Scotti made a decision.

She is the eldest daughter of the Nishizawa Empire, a descendant of the Godslayer, and she was born with responsibilities and obligations.

The Nishizawa royal family has always kept her word and never broken its promises, and since she has inherited the path and legacy of her ancestors, it is only natural that she should inherit their transactions and oaths.

The decision at this moment is not only due to curiosity about the unknown, but also because of the confession of bloodline.

Shikoti imitated her own state of mind to summon and reclaim the original codex, and silently recited in her heart: Inherit the vow!

As soon as she thought about it, the words of inquiry on the page vanished.

In its place, there is a new interaction.

[On April 22, 4002, Shikoti Nishizawa succeeded Mangula Nishizawa's "unfulfilled oath", loss, -300.] 】

When she saw the bright "-300" on the page, Shi Curti's expression almost didn't stop.

You know, she has worked hard for so long, and so far, the profit point she has saved is only 302 points.

Why is this inheritance "unfulfilled oath" all deducted?!

Ancestors! You're pit me!

Shi Corti was grief-stricken and indignant, but she couldn't show it yet, she could only wail in her heart.

But it's not over yet.

Below the previous interaction item, a new record is being generated.

[On April 22, 4002, Shicotti Nishizawa entered the "Oath Narrative" ......]

What, what, what? What's going on?!

What is the "Pledge Narrative"?

Before she could react, she saw a bright golden light on the black book and spread towards her.

The golden light that only she could see was as dazzling as the sun, obscuring the figure of the young man who was close at hand, covering the array of carp undead killing, and obscuring all her vision, so that Shi Curti couldn't hold back the instinctive reaction of her body, and her eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Ritsuge discovered her anomaly at the first time.

"What do you see?" He turned his gaze and asked.

But Scotty was too late to answer.

Time seems to stand still.

Scotti enters the "Narrative of the Vows".

Her last thought was: Ah, it's exciting to do things under the nose of the big guy.

……

When she came back to her senses, she found herself standing in a palace in the twilight, with bluestone pavement, gold-painted walls, everything familiar and unfamiliar.

It is the Nishizawa Imperial Palace, where she lived since childhood...... But it doesn't seem to be.

Two seconds later, Scotty realized the source of the anomaly.

In her memory, this courtyard should be planted with red stepwood, wood hydrangea and sea tung, and April is the flowering season of red stepwood.

But now in front of her eyes, there are some completely unfamiliar garden plants...... Even Scotti wasn't sure she could take advantage of them as "plants".

A shrub with small white flowers that opens and closes and sings like wind chimes; A small tree with red fruits that shakes its head and twists its branches to the song of small white flowers.

There were several carp birds with wings attached to the branches, and a cat with two tails lay lying under the pillars.

Poetry: "......"

Was their palace once so fantastical?

"Don't panic, it's just an illusion." The voice of the song suddenly sounded in Shi Curti's head, startling her, "You can think of it as a holographic movie, and it generally doesn't hurt. ”

"Ah, you ......"

"My guess is that your bloodline connection with the Godslayer activated some kind of residual spell that made you suddenly unconscious in reality, and your five senses senses were separated from reality and perceived something else." "But I've checked it, and this spell isn't very powerful, and it will dissipate automatically after about an hour or so.

"If I use my soul power, I will be able to clear it soon......"

Poeti blurted out, "Don't! ”

"Huh?"

"Well......" Shi Curti couldn't explain that this illusion was a "pledge narrative" made up by herself, so she had to say vaguely, "This is a fantasy left by the ancestors, and I'm a little curious about what is in it." ”

"Okay, then you take your time." Yan Luge expressed understanding, "I'll help you protect your brain outside, so that the negative senses such as death and pain in the illusion will impact you. ”

"Thank you."

To be honest, Scotti felt a little guilty.

Yan Luge obviously didn't know that she had fallen into the illusion by herself, but she still kept her promise, checked her state as soon as she was unconscious, and stayed by her side every step of the way.

"It's going to pay." "This is a special addition to the agreement. ”

The corners of Shikoti's mouth twitched: "...... Good. ”

The thought of the sky-high bills that was about to come swept away her guilt.

Yan Luge's voice came again: "By the way, your body is now paralyzed on the ground, and I am helping you put on a good sleeping position like a dead pig - free." ”

Shicotti was silent for two seconds and replied politely: "...... I'm very grateful, but can you please change the way my body is posed? ”

"Swap it for what?" Yan Luge thought about it seriously, "Is it like a corpse that has been hanging from a tree for five years?" ”

“…… Is there a third option? ”

"Why are you in such trouble? Do you Nishizawa royalty even pay attention to sleeping positions? ”

“……”

No, what does this have to do with the Nishizawa royal family!

Change anyone and let them choose between "the dead pig with all corners and eight forks" and "the corpse that has been hung for five years", and it will be difficult to choose, okay?!
