CHAPTER XXVI
It was a large and extravagant room, with white alabaster floors carved with patterns finer than a human hair, a carpet as soft as petals rendered in an unusually vivid scarlet hue, and a large round table for two in the center inlaid with countless gems that glittered in the crystal chandelier and contrasted with the indigo brown lines on the ebony wood.
Twelve high-backed chairs were opened in turn, revealing nine figures, among whom were the weak nobles who were clothed in splendid silk like flames, silky but flowing like water, and looked like a gust of wind that could be blown down; There were also majestic knights covered in armor, with their heads hidden in their helmets, and clutching the great sword that straddled their chests; A magician with a delicate wand and ten fingers covered with gemstone rings, each revealing powerful fluctuations in magic; A thief curled up in a black cloak with only slender hands, a silver coin jumping back and forth between his fingers, and even a slender elf with a pair of pointed ears, and a handsome face that is difficult to distinguish between male and female.
It's just that the bodies of these people are hidden from time to time, and they look illusory, obviously not the real body has come but I don't know what method is used to project here.
The man's voice was not loud, but it instantly silenced the room, and Qi Qi looked up at him.
"Captain, you're not kidding, the person who was able to be selected by the space to give a second chance after the mission was not completely wiped out after the mission failed is originally one in a hundred, not to mention growing to the point where he can awaken his memory and activate the spatial imprint, there are already too many of us, how can there be other reborns?"
A hot woman twisted her waist, leaned out, and looked intently at Valentin.
No leader likes to be questioned by his subordinates, but Valentine also knows that people who come out of the space are naturally wary of others, and it is only because of the common mission goal that they will get together to form a team, even if they are strong enough, it is impossible to subdue others, so he just coughed lightly and patiently explained: "This is the authority given to me by the space as a temporary captain, Sophie, don't forget that Dennis was discovered by us and joined the team because of this." β
Valentine pointed to an empty chair and raised his chin slightly, "As for the number of reborn people in this world, it is easier to explain, everyone is a veteran who has experienced at least a dozen mission worlds, and it should be seen that this world is far more advanced than the world we experienced before, and the upper limit of energy is far exceeded, otherwise it is impossible for the space to choose us to lurk in this world early." If it weren't for the suppression of the laws of this world, where would it take us so long to awaken our memories. β
Valentine looked around, opened his right hand, revealing a ball of fighting aura with violent energy fluctuations, and said lightly: "If I'm not mistaken, everyone's strength should be about to return to the level before death, and a few people should still be able to surpass it, and when we complete the task, the rewards given to us by the space will be extremely rich, maybe we can cross to the level of the top contractor in one fell swoop." β
When these words were spoken, the eyes of everyone present inevitably showed a look of longing, the top contractor is an existence that can face the gods of this world and not fall behind, and these people here are only medium contractors in their lives, and only Valentine is a high-level contractor, which is also the real reason why he can become the temporary leader of this team.
"In that case. β
The thief licked his lips and couldn't help but say, "Why should we bring this person in, one more person, and then the reward of the space will be divided into one more share, I don't think anyone here hopes that their harvest will be less than expected, right?"
"Stupid!"
As Valentine's voice raised and the momentum on his body, he slapped the balloon in his hand on this precious ebony table, Valentin got up suddenly, staring closely at the thief who pulled out a dark blue dagger out of nowhere, and waited for it, his voice was no longer the same, full of threat and contempt, " Sauron, this world is so big, and the number of strong people is so large, even if the strength of our entire team is not enough to challenge a legendary powerhouse, not to mention those demigods and gods who have lived for I don't know how many thousands of years, in this case, you don't want to enhance the strength of the team as much as possible, and you still have the heart to play these for Lao Tzu, you don't want to pull the whole team into the water. β
With his hands around his arms, looking at the expression of wariness or approval, Valentine's voice softened, and said, "Actually, I understand Sauron's thoughts, I'm afraid that any contractor instinctively does this, but,"
With a little bitterness and a hint of joy in his voice, Valentine reminded: "We are not contractors but reborns now, if the contractor can't complete the task and deduct the survival point, we may be able to avoid being wiped out by the space, but we are even reborn for the second time is a gift from the space, how can there be a survival point on the body now, if the mission fails, what do you think the space that controls our soul imprint will deal with us." β
Valentine concluded: "In short, our primary goal is to try to complete the tasks of the space and save ourselves from certain death, as for the distribution of rewards, that is a matter for later." β
Valentine was tall and condescending, and he saw everyone's expressions at a glance, knowing that these people had not completely dispelled the idea, he sighed secretly in his heart and threw out the last chip: " And if I'm not bad as expected, the time for the space to really intervene is about to come, and then we have to prevent other contractor teams from tearing down and making trouble in addition to facing the indigenous powerhouses, although everyone is also from the space, but I think everyone will not be naΓ―ve to think that the two of us will love each other, unite and love each other, only the same reborn is the existence that we can truly believe in and join forces. β
"After being reborn, except for the attribute template, the task system has been closed, how do you know that the space is about to fall, and there will definitely be other contractors coming?"
These words immediately caused an uproar, and even the two magicians who were originally old gods were there, watching Valentine with great interest, and Sophie and Sauron, couldn't help but bounce up from their seats and ask questions one after another.
"This is a secret that only high-level contractors can know, if you want to know, you must ensure that you try to listen to my command in the next few days, and you can't deliberately drag the whole team back. β
Seeing everyone like this, Valentine calmed down, sat back in his chair, and said word by word: "With everyone's strength and identity, you should also know that the promises made by the words spoken in this world will be followed by fate and cannot be easily broken, I happen to have such a magic contract in my hand, although the grade is not too high, but it can barely be used as proof, if everyone is willing to sign, I will naturally share what I know with you." β
"It turns out that this is the purpose of your fight. β
Sophie patted her lips and suddenly realized: "The goddess of fate in this world has long fallen, although the power of this contract can continue to take effect, but it is said that the binding force is also limited, and it cannot endanger people's lives, I can sign a contract with you, but you must promise to explain these things to me clearly." β
"And it must be stated in the contract that you can't deliberately arrange us to be cannon fodder, we have the right to refuse those dangerous things, and if we lose the interests we deserve, as the captain you must make up for us in other aspects. β
Sauron the Thief also sat back in his seat, his dagger flying nimbly between the fingers of his hand as he spoke.
"Although it is not uncommon for contractors to intrigue and kill each other in the space, but now everyone is in the same boat, and the benefits of this world are enough for everyone to share the profits, I am now single, and when I return to the space again after completing this mission, I will have to re-form the team, and everyone can rest assured in this regard. β
Seeing everyone's projections signing their names on the contract scroll, Valentine was overjoyed, patted his chest and reassured, then turned his head to look at the middle-aged man wearing a golden badge that looked like a gold coin on his chest and said, "Pastor Green, just now Sophie said that when the goddess of fate fell, you are the only one among us who chose to join the church, why don't you explain to everyone what happened." β
Hearing Valentine's request, Green looked embarrassed, subconsciously looked up at the sky, and said in a low voice: "The gods of this world are manifested, and I'm afraid it's not too good to say these things, especially most of the content about these is taboo, either destroyed by the church or strictly forbidden to spread outside, and the preservation is not as complete as the aristocracy, with my current status in the church, I can't touch too many secrets." β
Seeing that everyone's eyes turned in unison, the more Green spoke, the lower his voice became, for the contractor, digging for clues in the task is already almost instinctive, the more secretive it is, the more likely it is to make a big gain, these companions will definitely not believe his so-called ignorant prevarication before, in this case, something must be really come up.
"The world has gold, silver, bronze and the current age of black iron. β
Seeing that everyone was listening, Green said slowly: " The essence of the gods has transcended the mundane, just as the legend of the top contractors has been able to get out of the control of space and no longer have the limit of life, but in the long history of the gods, there are still gods from time to time completely disappear or change the name of the gods, the most frequent period is the time when the two eras are replaced, the most recorded in the temple during that period is the battle, even the gods can not continue to stay in the kingdom of God but are forced to walk in the world in the form of a saint in the lower realm, and the gods at this time are not only the strength of the great drop but also imprisoned in the human body, can be completely killed, there are records of such a period of as many as four times, even the rumored goddess of fate, who controls the power of fate, can't see the trajectory of her fate at this time, and has since disappeared. That's why the last one was called the Battle of the Gods, could it be that the captain thought that the next War of the Gods would break out again?"
Speaking of this, Green's voice couldn't help but tremble, not to mention participating in this level of battle, I'm afraid that even if it is just unfortunate to be implicated in the aftermath, there will be no second result.
"Not bad. β
Valentine nodded, confirming his guess without hesitation, "I've carefully calculated that from the Golden Age to the Age of Black Iron, each era lasts slightly shorter than the previous era, and now that the Age of Black Iron has lasted long enough, it's almost time for the next War of the Gods." And you should have found out more or less when you were a contractor that every time you send someone to perform a mission in the mission world, it is on the eve or in the process of a major event in the mission world, according to the predecessors of those contractors, it may be because the luck in the mission world is the most intense at this time, and it is more suitable for space to start, these two are combined, plus so many of our reborn people have been arranged to this world one after another, if I can't guess it, then I can't live in the space for so long. β
"But that doesn't mean there are other contractors coming?"
After listening to the analysis, in fact, everyone had already believed Valentine's speculation in their hearts, but Sauron's face changed, and he still continued to say hard.
"The level of this world is too high, and I have not found any signs that the space has sent contractors to carry out tasks here, that is to say, the space does not know enough about this world, and the possibility of us people wanting to grow to be able to shake those legends and even gods is too small, and the time is too long, if the space wants to take advantage of the war of the gods to achieve its goal, it will definitely not forget to send the contractor, and I am sure that the number and strength of the contractors are definitely not low, and it is very possible even above us. β
"Sending the Reborn to settle down and take root first, and then working with the Contractor is the usual practice of the space for such a high-level world, I was fortunate enough to meet a Reborn back then, these are his personal experiences, exactly the same as our current situation. β
Seeing that Sauron and the others' faces inevitably became solemn, Valentine nodded and spit out the last sentence: "Do you still have any objections to helping this companion awaken quickly?"
There were nine people at a table, except for Valentine, Sophie, Green, and Sauron either frowned and pondered, or passed on the sound to discuss, and after a long time, they looked at each other and said in unison: "This time it will be according to what you say." β
So everyone stretched out their hands in unison, some revealing their rings, some wearing watches, and some holding up the pendant badges, each emitting an unstable light that rushed towards Valentine, who was the leader, and then gathered into a brilliant light that quickly spread away in the direction that Valentine sensed.
"Poof!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the mana barrier laid in the room broke one after another, Chen Fusheng rose into the air, looked at it with his eyes, and muttered to himself: "There are people similar to Claudia in this world, I didn't expect this." β
