Chapter 297: A New Contract Demon?
Blood Fire Island is not far from Blood Raven Island.
After Qi Lin relayed the content of his previous conversation with the Holy Crow to Andre and Dawu Zhu, Andre immediately sent someone to Blood Fire Island, and according to Qi Lin's request, he went to help him capture a fourth-rank fire demon alive overnight.
So, after a few hours of waiting, a lively fourth-order flame demon was tied up in front of the corpse of the holy crow......
"Teng!"
The fire is blazing.
A fourth-order flame demon in the shape of a big tree, bound by blood-red magic light ropes all over his body, was lying directly in front of the crow's corpse at this time, and his whole body was constantly glowing with flames, trying to burn the magic light rope on his body.
However, the set of blood-red magic light ropes on its body was reinforced by Andre's own spell, and it was almost impossible to be burned by it in a short period of time.
"Patriarch Keturu!"
Qi Lin raised his head, looked at the giant bird bone in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The fourth-order flame demon you want has arrived!" โ
"Boom!"
As soon as the words fell, the giant skull of the Holy Crow lit up with dazzling golden light, shooting out a pillar of golden light, which was violently injected into the body of the fourth-order flame demon.
Immediately after, this fourth-order flame demon began to twitch wildly.
โโฆโฆโ
Qi Lin, Irena, Catherine, Tang Haoyuan, Da Wu Zhu, and Andre formed a circle and waited quietly.
"Great Witch Wish?"
Andre glanced at the black-robed old man beside him and asked softly, "You seem to be a little excited?" โ
"Of course!"
Great Wu Zhu nodded heavily, looking at the fire demon on the ground who fell to the ground and twitched, his eyes were full of anticipation, "According to Mr. Qi Lin, the holy crow will soon descend on this fire demon, the old decay has worshiped the holy crow for almost a lifetime, and today, I can finally witness its arrival with my own eyes!" โ
"Hmmm......"
Andre's red eyes narrowed slightly, and after hesitating for a while, he still asked softly: "Great Wu Zhu, if the holy crow is actually ...... Well, it's not as 'sacred' as you think, what would you do? โ
"What do you mean?" The Great Witch Zhu glanced at Andre unhappily, "Don't slander the Holy Crow!" You are disrespectful to the crows! โ
"Dawu Zhu misunderstood, I didn't mean to slander the holy crow."
Andre lowered his head slightly and said calmly: "I was able to defeat the Blood Bear Lord before, and thanks to the Holy Crow's Holy Blood Grace, I am grateful for it, but ...... I just want to remind you that a spirit totem that can't speak is not the same as a living creature. โ
โโฆโฆโ
Da Wu Zhu frowned and did not respond.
Andre didn't say anything more, just stared at the fire demon who fell to the ground and twitched with a blank face, quietly waiting for the crow's seizure to end.
โโฆโฆโ
Ten minutes later.
The Firefiend no longer twitches.
At the same time, its tree-shaped body began to gradually change, and in the blink of an eye, it changed from a flaming tree to a flaming bird of human height.
"Teng!"
The Great Flame Bird slowly rose from the ground, and its flaming wings flew up, hovering in the mid-air of the cavern here.
"Worship, Greetings, Sacred Crows!!"
Seeing this, Da Wu Zhu was so excited that he burst into tears, and suddenly fell to his knees on the ground, constantly kowtowing and bowing.
"Meet the Crow."
Andrei also bowed his head and knelt down and bowed.
"Patriarch Keturu!"
Qi Lin raised his head, looked at the flaming bird flying back and forth in the air, and said loudly, "Did your "Demon Soul Transformation Technique" succeed?" You're a demon now?! โ
"It worked."
The Flame Bird fell from the sky, didn't even look at the Great Wu Zhu, and fell directly in front of Qi Lin, gathered the flame wings, and said: "Then, let's start, set the content of the demon contract, and then sign the demon contract, and then, I will take you to the Blood Pool Temple and kill Joshua!" โ
"Okay."
Qi Lin nodded slightly, and then said, "Then, Patriarch Kaitulu, the content of the contract is like this, you can see if it's okay."
First, after the Demon Pact is signed, you must immediately erase the Seed of Madness from my body.
Second, you can't lie to me while the demonic pact is in effect, you must be honest with me, and likewise, I will be honest with you.
Third, within three months of the signing of the Demon Pact, I must go to the Blood Pool Sanctuary, activate the control hub of the Blood Pool Seal, and kill Joshua once and for all.
Those who violate the above agreement will collapse and die! โ
When Qi Lin said this, he looked at the Flame Bird in front of him and smiled, "Patriarch Kaitulu, you see, this is feasible?" โ
"Three months is too long!" The Raven shook his head.
"Two months, then." Qi Lin changed his words.
"A month!" The Holy Crow said in a deep voice.
"That's not going to work."
Qi Lin spread his hands and said helplessly: "I killed tens of thousands of navies of the Holy See before, and now the Holy See has listed me at the top of the must-kill list, once I leave Blood Raven Island now, I will be assassinated or attacked by the Holy See in turn."
And it's quite a waste of time.
The main reason is that if I encounter any particularly strong Holy See troops, maybe I will have to hide for a few days to avoid the limelight, so a month is too tight, and for the sake of insurance, it will take at least two months.
Besides, Patriarch Keturu, you don't want to have me killed by the Demon Pact just because I don't have time, and then you lose the chance to take revenge, right?
That's ridiculous, isn't it?
There is no need to be too tight at all when it comes to arriving at the Blood Pool Temple, as long as we can arrive at the Blood Pool Temple before your soul is completely worn and cracked. โ
โโฆโฆโ
The Holy Crow was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "The Blood Pool Temple is actually not far from here, it is located in the deepest part of the Demon Sea, but what you said is right, there is no need to stretch the time too tightly, okay, then to be on the safe side, two months, within two months, you must follow me to the Blood Pool Temple, and let Joshua's soul fly away!" โ
"Okay."
Qi Lin nodded and stretched out his right hand, "Then begin, Patriarch Ketulu." โ
"Teng!"
The crow then spread its flaming wings, and a flaming feather flew out of it, landing on the back of Qi Lin's right hand, gradually outlining a strange flame rune.
"Humโ"
Immediately after, the flame runes lit up, condensing a volume of purple-black pages in front of Qi Lin, exuding an extremely strong aura of the hellish plane.
This is the "Book of Contracts"!
The former World Tree of the Hanhai Realm is the embodiment of the world origin of the Hanhai Realm.
The Book of Contracts is the embodiment of the world origin of the hell world, with unimaginable infinite power!
The Holy Crow had told Qi Lin before that when the Blood Demon Lord left the Hanhai Realm, he deliberately cast a spell to manipulate the spatial barrier of this world, causing the teleportation path between the Hanhai Realm and Hell to be cut off, so that any means of teleportation towards Hell, including the Demon Summoning Technique, could not take effect in the Hanhai Realm.
But it turns out that the Blood Demon Lord's methods can't stop the arrival of the Book of Contracts, after all, this thing is the embodiment of the world origin of hell.
As the embodiment of the source of hell, the Book of Contracts is unfathomable.
However, for Qi Lin and the Holy Crow at this moment, the book of contracts that was summoned on the page in front of them was basically used to write the content of the contract.
"Buzz!"
Qi Lin stretched out his right hand, the tips of his index finger lit up with a purple faint light, and using his finger as a pen, he began to write one demon rune after another on the page, describing the content of the contract he had just made with the Holy Crow.
The demon contract is said to be a contract, but in fact, in most cases, the demon envoy rarely agrees with the demon about the specific content of the contract.
Or, it's an equal contract, there is no specific contract content, the effect of the contract is mainly a variety of functions, such as translation function, positioning sensing function, demon possession function or something, and the equality contract is not compulsory, no matter which party is unhappy, you can cancel the contract at any time.
Or, it is a master-servant contract, and the servant is unconditionally obedient to the master, in this case, there is naturally no need to describe any specific contract content.
These two situations are the safest.
Qi Lin's previous demon contracts were all in these two situations.
But not now.
The contract that Qi Lin is about to sign now is a kind of equality contract, but it is slightly different, it is a kind of equality contract with a more complex situation.
This type of equal contract is also known as the "content contract".
As the name suggests, the content contract has detailed contents, and the demon envoy and the demon can agree on various matters, as well as various punishments for violating them.
Under normal circumstances, the content contract is initiated by the demon, and then the demon envoy writes the content, and finally the two parties sign and confirm.
This is a relatively standard signing process.
As for the situation where the demon initiates a contract and the demon writes the content himself, eleven out of ten are prepared to trap people.
After all, if you sign a contract with a demon and let the demon write the content of the contract yourself, the demon doesn't know how he died in the end.
Therefore, over time, it is impossible for regular demon envoys with formal inheritance to be handed over to the demons to write the content, and only those demon envoys who are born in the wild and don't understand anything will hand over the power of this writing content to the demons.
And the inheritance of the Demon Envoy of the Blue Star Federation is formal and complete, so Qi Lin, who has attended the Federation High School in the Eight Classics, naturally will not make such a low-level mistake.
In fact, the crow is also very "acquainted".
The Holy Crow had seen all of Joshua's memories, so he was also very aware of this unwritten "rule", and just now it was natural to hand over the power to write the contract to Qi Lin's side, and let him, the demon envoy, write the content of the contract.
What's more, the validity of this content contract comes from the entire hellish plane.
Even a ninth-order Hell King couldn't forcibly erase this kind of contract.
And once the contract is violated, it is no one else who imposes the punishment, it is the hell itself, which is equivalent to the entire hell world imposing punishment on you, and the hell world is extremely powerful, even the ninth-order hell king cannot easily resist the power of this world, so in most cases, the content contract is quite reliable.
However, the key to the content contract is the content, and these contents are all described in demonic runes, which are equivalent to written records.
Transcripts, on the other hand, are destined to have loopholes.
Commonly known as: playing with words.
And sometimes, in addition to demons, there are also demon envoys who will play tricks on the demon contract......
โฆโฆ
"Alright."
A few minutes later,
Qi Lin finished writing the contents of the contract.
At this time, on the purple-black page between him and the Holy Crow, there were already five more elements of demonic runes that flashed with purple light.
The crow looked closely.
The basic gist of these demon runes translated is as follows:
โโ
(1) After the Demon Contract is signed, the Contract Demon must immediately erase the [Mad Fire Seed] from the Demon Messenger's body.
(2) Within two months after the Demon Contract is signed, the Demon Envoy must completely kill [Joshua] and let [Joshua] be scattered.
(3) During the period when the Demon Contract is in effect, both parties must be honest with each other and not lie to each other.
(4) Those who violate the above agreements will have their souls collapse and die.
(5) The contract can be terminated only after the agreement in (1) and (2) has been completed, and the demon and the demon have made both parties.
โโ
โโฆโฆโ
Tang Haoyuan stood beside him, looking at the second article of the contract, his eyebrows raised slightly.
"I'll confirm."
The crow nodded slightly, spread its flapping wings, and a wisp of flame flew out of it, touching the words "Mad Fire Seed" and "Joshua" on the purple and black pages.
This kind of noun and personal name involving the specified object requires the demon and the demon to make both parties confirm twice.
This second confirmation is actually not complicated.
The demon envoy only needs to concentrate on a certain object when writing down the noun, then the corresponding information will naturally appear in this noun, and the demon can confirm it according to this information.
Like what
When Qi Lin wrote [Mad Fire Seed], he was concentrating on the Mad Fire Seed spell that Joshua had applied to him, and when he wrote [Joshua], he was naturally thinking about the remnant soul of the great demon, and when the Holy Crow made a second confirmation, he would also see the corresponding thing, and if the confirmation was correct, he could confirm it.
In general, since the Book of Contracts is the embodiment of the origin of the world in Hell, it is actually quite intelligent, and there will never be any nonsense such as "the Joshua I wrote is not the Joshua you think".
The Book of Contracts will of course be looped and played with words, but it definitely does not include such absurd situations.
"Okay, no problem."
At this moment, the crow nodded slightly, and then placed one of his flaming wings on the left side of the purple and black page.
"I wish us a happy cooperation."
Qi Lin smiled slightly, and also put his right hand on the right side of the purple and black page.
"Buzz!"
The purple-black pages then erupted with dazzling purple light, splitting in two, and retreating into the crow's wings and the back of Qi Lin's right hand.
"Whew!"
On the surface of the crow's wings, bursts of purple smoke rose from it, forming a rune mark similar to [ยง], and then quickly disappeared and disappeared.
The back of Qi Lin's right hand also emitted green smoke, and an identical [ยง] mark appeared, and then quickly disappeared.
This is the contract brand.
The brand has been completed, and the contract has been signed!
"Buzz!"
At this time, a purple-black light suddenly appeared in front of the holy crow, recondensed into a purple-black page, and the first clause on it was flickering purple flickering wildly at this time, as if reminding the holy crow.
โโ
(1) After the Demon Contract is signed, the Contract Demon must "immediately" erase the [Mad Fire Seed] from the Demon Messenger's body.
โโ
"It's time to fulfill the promise, Patriarch Keturu."
Qi Lin looked at the holy crow and said with a chuckle.
