The candle flame flickered.

The crowd was solemn and silent, and among them, only Qi Lu was at the forefront.

He was half-kneeling on the ground and reached out to tap the mirror.

In the next second, the dark mirror surface rippled like water waves.

When he saw that the mirror began to fluctuate slightly, Qi Lu raised his hand and respectfully placed something in his hand in front of the mirror.

After doing all this, he slowly walked backwards.

And the place where he stood happened to be the same point where he stood when he first met the Lord of Truth.

"The Great Lord of Truth."

Qi Lu recited, "Your most loyal devotees, the people who are willing to drive you, ask for your attention at this time. ”

With his voice.

The surrounding Qi family members dressed in black and white clothes all folded their hands at the same moment, reciting the sacrificial text that Qi Lu racked his brains to come up with.

"A traveler whose eyes have reached the boundaries of time."

"The All-Knowing, who has all knowledge."

"The God of Contracts who rules the scales."

"Listen to the prayers of your humble ones, follow the doctrine of 'equivalent exchange', pluck the threads of time, and give truth to your believers!"

This is a sacrificial text that Qi Lu pondered based on the word of the Lord of Truth and His authority.

Although he didn't know what it was for.

After all, the previous sacrifice to the "Taifu" god ended up with a strange great existence......

But, good things have to be said, don't they?

They can't say something stupid like "Lao Deng, give me some more gold coins", and they can't put their posture too low.

When a person's posture is low to the dust, then his value is at most the same as clay.

It is easy to take, easy to use, and not cherished.

Qi Lu didn't want to be "dirt".

But he also knew that if they were to gain long-term support from the Lord of Truth, they needed to show their worth.

Aren't all great beings like that? To them, human beings are nothing more than small as gravel. But if the sand is as beautiful as a jewel, then they will be somewhat interested.

And what Qi Lu wants to do now is to make him look as simple as the original stone, but it is also worth looking forward to after prying the shell into the exquisite!

"I need to make the Lord of Truth aware of something."

That is to choose him, Qi Lu, as the contractor of the transaction......

It is a very valuable option!

This is an arrogant idea.

But this is Qi Lu's ambition. Or rather, part of ambition.

And with what Qi Lu thought in his heart.

In the midst of the rituals recited in unison, a slight contamination quietly spread at this moment.

Along with the pollution, there is also the hazy figure that gradually reappears in the mirror.

When everyone's voices stopped.

A voice distorted to the point of distortion came from the mirror: "Oh? ”

"It turned out to be you."

Qi Lu, who heard this, was overjoyed.

He could clearly feel that he seemed to have some impression in the mind of the Lord of Truth.

This is a good sign.

Suppressing the joy in his heart to the deepest depth, Qi Lu had a solemn face: "Yes, the great Lord of Truth. ”

He bowed his head towards the mirror and said sincerely, "Thank you for the knowledge that we have managed to take out a group of Nightkin and seize their goods. ”

Pointing to the various materials piled up in the distance as high as a hill, Qi Lu looked at the mirror: "In order to express our sincere gratitude to you for your mercy, please allow me to offer sacrifices. ”

Hearing this, the person in the mirror was silent for a moment.

After a moment, the distorted voice came again: "It's better than nothing." ”

However, equivalent exchange is the most constant law in the world. You have paid the price for the answers you prayed for, and that is enough, not more. ”

Hearing this, Qi Lu was stunned for three seconds.

He looked in the mirror in disbelief.

…… Does this mean that He doesn't need any additional sacrifices of His own?

It's hard to describe the feeling in Qi Lu's heart at this moment.

But one thing is certain.

That is.

"This Lord of Truth is too ...... Observe order, huh?! ”

said "equivalent exchange", but he really strictly abided by the rules he said, and he didn't intend to violate it.

Such a great being is really ......

That's cool!

"The great existence of abiding by order is definitely the most precious opportunity in this world!"

Qi Lu's heart was excited again: "Compared to the legendary existence of destroying a city without a word, or having no desires and not even wanting to deal with people, the communication with the Lord of Truth is simply perfect!" ”

You don't have to worry about the other person's possible mood repetition, and you don't have to think hard about how to attract the other person's attention. You only need to propose a transaction, pay the value, and be able to exchange knowledge from the other party......

Peace of mind, so worry-free!

And the forbidden knowledge of the other party is genuine.

You know, they just used that forbidden knowledge to break up a group of Nightcrawlers, which is enough to prove what a valuable treasure the knowledge of the Lord of Truth is, if used properly!

Thinking of this, Qi Lu's mood became more and more firm: "We must take the line of the Lord of Truth." ”

The future of the Qi family is very likely to fall on the relationship with the Lord of Truth!

Therefore, he bowed his head more and more humbly: "Thank you for your generosity. ”

"But please be sure to accept the sincerity from us, this is not an addition to the commodity, but our praise for you."

Looking at the mirror, Qi Lu's attitude was extremely sincere: "When the Qi family is in trouble, it is you who appear in front of us. And it is you who have given us the secret to defeat the enemy, and it is you who have given us hope and a future. ”

"So, this is the 'repay' I am waiting for. It's a thank you for your willingness to be there for us, in addition to trading. ”

said.

Qi Lu half-knelt down, his eyes firm.

His voice was sonorous and powerful: "Please give me a chance to repay your kindness!" As I said before, the Qi family is willing to hand over all their souls to you, and is willing to turn them into blades in your hands. ”

"We'll show you that this knife has its rightful value!"

The voice fell.

In the mirror, the Lord of Truth looked at Qi Lu silently.

After a long time.

A chuckle came from inside the mirror.

The laughter was distorted and distorted, as if an intermittent murmur echoed in everyone's ears, and like a dense cobweb twisting and entwining.

In the midst of that laughter, there was undisguised interest.

"Interesting."

The Lord of Truth smiled lightly and said, "As a blade? You're more ambitious than I thought. ”

"Well, since it's a thanks, that's part of the deal. I have rightly and deservedly given you the opportunity to 'express yourself'. ”

In everyone's ears, the distorted sound suddenly became grandiose.

He solemnly addressed everyone: "Then I will give you a task. ”

"Go and investigate the cataclysm of thousands of years ago! Use what you see and hear as bargaining chips for future transactions. ”

"To uncover the dusty past, to bury the history."

"When you know everything, you will know that the lost past of humanity will also reveal the future of humanity's destiny!"
