"Quick, Byron, can't wait any longer."

Hearing this familiar voice that had killed him, Andrew was so frightened that he shook his spirit on the spot, almost shaking off the bones of his whole body.

Without his reminder, Byron also locked his eyes on the black "Faustian Contract" floating next to Velasquez for the first time.

After the victory over the governor of Havana, [Entry: Why do you want to engrave your name on my pipe] has taken effect.

Theoretically, he took the ownership of the other half of the Faust Pact on the other side.

The blood-colored name at the bottom of the line, which belonged to Velasquez, had been reluctantly replaced by the golden "Byron Tudor".

Even the power of order gradually expanded around this name, causing the evil and distorted aura above to dissipate a lot.

Order and chaos, divinity and bestiality, gradually have a tendency to rebalance.

"Come here."

Byron raised his hand and grabbed the Faustian Contract.

The invisible wind immediately responded to his will, and when the air formed a hand of the wind elemental, it was about to grasp the parchment in front of him.

His other hand slowly pulled out the [White Frost] on his waist, and a layer of dazzling electric light swirled around it.

Prepare to fulfill Flint's last wish before he died:

While recovering the Faust Pact, a sword resulted in the murderous evil spirit that had fallen from it.

The thunder and lightning power of the storm weapon is a special attack on all kinds of evil spirits and undead creatures, even if the opponent has a fourth-order foundation, it will definitely be able to give it a good look.

It's just that even if those evil things no longer have brains, they still retain the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

The Evil Spirit, Contract Devil, seemed to sense the danger, and came out of the black parchment.

wanted to escape, but found that a considerable part of the contract was out of his control.

Without hesitation, he grabbed the corner of the parchment and pulled it suddenly.

Thorn ——!

The two-thirds contract was split in two, and half of the lighter black part flew into Byron's hand, making the complete two-thirds of the contract.

The remaining third, which was already black to the point of being multicolored, rushed into the nearby rift of the world like lightning along with the fleeing evil spirit.

A diamond into the tides of the Sea of Essentia vanisha vanished in an instant.

After all, part of the power to use Faust's Pact always belongs to the devil.

If Byron's nature is a free and light wind, then the [Contract Devil] belongs to a foul and foul-smelling mire.

The compatibility between the two cannot be said to be irrelevant, but can only be said to be incompatible.

Even if Byron didn't want to kill it, it couldn't serve such an incorruptible master.

Byron's hand, one third of the black and one white parchment, was reassembled into a complete yin-yang contract.

It's like cutting off a large tumor parasitic on your body.

Transcendent aura, light and lively, even intuitively conveyed a pleasant emotion when Byron held it in his hand.

made him instinctively realize that it might not be a good thing for the [Contract Devil] to take the initiative to cut off with himself and take away the "Jane Wishing Machine".

"Without this guy, I'm contaminated at least half the rate.

Wait for the anchor to be more stable in the future, and then go and recycle the full version. ”

At the same time, the logbook finally read the details of the contract in its entirety.

[First Class Relic: Faust Contract]:

"The long poem "Faust" symbolizes the spirit of the times of the Renaissance and the emancipation of the mind, and is one of the driving forces that ended the dark millennium.

Half to the Creator and half to the Devil, only a free soul can be the master who controls both.

Ability 1: Buy low and sell high.

The contract is essentially a trading platform with coercive power, which can be approximately equivalent to a powerful transcendent in the gold yuan sequence.

It can use the greed in people's hearts as a sign to project its own projection into anyone's inner world.

The owner of the contract can make a difference by signing a service contract with all kinds of human beings, buying low and selling high.

Commodities can be tangible or intangible, including but not limited to weapons and equipment, extraordinary abilities, beauty, health, love, wealth, and time (lifespan)

And six maids can do it for you, including guaranteeing contract execution, harvesting souls, cleaning, and anything like that.

Note: The closer the commodity is conceptually to the realm of the gods, the more expensive the transaction becomes, both for the person being traded and for the owner of the contract.

Be careful, maybe you'll be the next item on the shelf! ”

Byron, of course, knew the consequences of being overly greedy.

But even if he just relies on the basic ability of this contract, he is confident that he can open the "No. 8 pawnshop".

[Blood Grail] devours flesh, [Wild Hunting Legion] collects souls, [Deathwing] loots treasures, and [Pawn Contract] snatches abilities

An enemy fell into his hands, and it was immediately arranged clearly.

And with this treasure, the value of the governor of Havana, Velasketon, who had already handed over all the pawn deeds, plummeted.

"Ability 2: The Covenant of Man and God.

The long poem "Faust" serves as a successful example of mankind's struggle for power from the gods/churches, gaining the right to make covenants with the higher.

The owner of the contract can use himself as a stake, make a contract with some oversized being, and use the world itself as a medium to automatically generate a fair contract.

Just like Faust back then, one end of the contract is the Creator and the other is the Devil, so the upper limit of the covenant between man and God is: two.

At present, there is a covenant between man and god, and the previous master, Flint, made a covenant with Mammon, the worm of greed:

Treasure Island must follow the objective law of periodic cicadas, and can only appear in the material world when it is a prime number year.

When there are [Lantern Men] with free souls stationed on the island, only the low-rank cicada dependents are allowed to pass through the second-level rift, and the middle sequence is not allowed to enter the material world.

And the range of activities of the cicada people cannot go beyond the scope of Treasure Island.

In exchange, Flint needs to use his fame to attract other humans to the island, and follow a series of rules such as 'equivalent exchange' and 'weight cap' to provide Mammon with rations.

Once both parties violate the contract, it will usher in a crackdown at the level of rules.

When the Lanternman is replaced, the prime number year is reset to zero, and the calculation starts again: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17.

With blood as a contract, the new lantern bearer puts a drop of blood on the contract, and the new contract takes effect. ”

Byron glanced at his dead uncle.

According to this contract, when he arrived 11 years ago, Flint's status eight had begun to deviate significantly, and he no longer fully qualified for the Lanternman, resulting in a loophole in the contract.

Although he decisively began to run away when the cicadas chirped, he did not escape his life after all.

"Got it~Got it~"

At this time, the sound of cicadas on the opposite side became more and more rapid.

The mirrored islands on the other side of the rift are all cicada adults.

Ordinary instances are flesh-colored cicadas with six human hands, a human face, and needle-like mouthparts.

Transcendent individuals are adorned with gold masks, jeweled red eyes, and a series of gold and silver jewelry.

The body of the middle sequence individual is directly inlaid with a different number of high-quality sage stones, shining and dazzling.

These cicadas are not completely irrational grotesque, but more like alien beings with humanoid intelligence, and even have their own social structure.

Finally, the first low-ranking cicada man flew out of the crack and lay down in the lake of blood and gulped sucking the juice.

Then the second one, the third one, until the black pressed one, gathered into a dark cloud, which could not be counted.

Byron was in no hurry to fulfill his duties as a lantern bearer.

Instead, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Click!

As the bright light of the lighter box bloomed, a group of six beautiful maids dressed in black and white maid costumes appeared from it.

In the eyes of others, they are still the same.

But in Byron's eyes, the six maids had devil's horns on their heads, and on their backs they had bat wings and angel wings.

The face is becoming more and more holy and beautiful, and the body is becoming more and more explosive and hot.

Half angels, half demons, is what they are.

Byron made his request to the first maid named Shirley, who wore a gold plaque on her chest:

"Do you have a way to hide our own people from the cicadas first?"

The brunette maid saluted respectfully:

"My esteemed master, it's simple."

He took out the silver lighter, and the bright white light of the fire swung in a circle of light, enveloping everyone under Byron's command.

Protected by the power of the contract.

The cicadas who swarmed through the rift immediately ignored them, some sucking the lake of blood out little by little, and some of them rushed out of the third layer and towards the rest of the labyrinth.

Byron, the Lantern-bearer, after protecting his own people, let the adults swarm into Treasure Island.

According to the covenant between the two parties, the rules were inherently ineffective against those low-level cicadas, and Byron didn't think of resisting this level of insect tide on his own.

He had another purpose.

When the cicadas chirp, most of the island's treasure hunters are still fighting bloodily.

After all, there is at least one day left before the third rainbow disappears, and there are still ten days before Treasure Island sinks again.

I didn't realize that the disaster came so suddenly.

"What is this? Run! ”

"Ah, help——!"

“”

Some of the treasure hunters on the island were sucked dry and crushed into dregs on the spot, while others broke the rules because they did not forget their treasures when they fled, and their flesh and blood flowed into the lake of blood.

Byron's eyes were fixed behind the crack.

"This time, thousands of people have come to the island, and even the 'nest' has been laid.

If you don't take the opportunity to throw a shot, how can you be worthy of these bait? And fishing guys like us?

I don't believe that last time, you cicadas in the middle sequence didn't hold back, but this time there are more sacrifices, but you can endure it?

The angler will never be an air force! ”

Obviously, his target was not those low-level cicadas, but the mid-order insects who were themselves equivalent to the "Stone Mine of the Living Sage".

As soon as the words fell.

A cicada in the middle sequence couldn't help but fly out of the crack.

Now that the new Lanternmen are missing, they are theoretically unfettered and can freely enter and exit the cracks.

"Got it~Got it~"

After discovering that he was fine, he immediately called his friends and prepared to enter the labyrinth to join this gluttonous feast that only happens once in ten years.

One, two, three

Soaring with wings, rushing into the passage like arrows.

Looking at these cicadas, especially the pieces of philosopher's stones inlaid on their bodies, Byron's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Wait, wait, we can't fish as hard as we can, and we can't give them a chance to run back again."

Although he himself has not yet reached the level of merging the Philosopher's Stone without damage in a short period of time.

But these cicadas can!

It's not just a one-time deal in front of you.

If you can put this island to good use, every few years you will release a batch of treasure maps to give to those enemies who are not easy to deal with.

Not only can you kill one of them, but you can also borrow the mouth of the cicada to get an endless stream of [Philosopher's Stones]!

Cut leeks one stubble after another, and the children and grandchildren will be endless.

"When someone catches a cicada, they think they've caught it all summer.

And this old man caught a cicada, but it is equivalent to catching the wealth of the sky. ”
