Chapter 385 Carp: Narrative of the Oath
"What you Nishizawa ancestral 'alchemists' are best at are 'trade', 'exchange', 'contract', 'oath' and similar concepts." Yan Luge said truthfully, "For example, exchanging stones for gold
, such as exchanging gems for tears of carps, or exchanging bronze potions for extraordinary power... This series of 'unscientific' exchanges are all manifestations of alchemy.
"But I don't know how you did it - you hid it so well before."
This is quite true.
Although the social system in his previous life fell apart, the five major forces that evolved from the five major kingdoms still formed their own systems for a long time and were incompatible with others, and their strength demonstrated the saying "your dad is still your dad".
Even he was unable to obtain the true "alchemy" inheritance of Nishizawa's lineage, and only got a glimpse of it after their collapse.
It's quite a pity.
As for the words of Rhythm, Shikoti immediately thought of an ancient Spanish word: Vesa.
This semantics covers words with the meanings of "transaction", "agreement", "buying and selling", etc. If placed in the extraordinary realm, it may describe the essence of "alchemy"!
Through the explanation of the rhyme, Shikoti also roughly understood that the "oath" shown in the "Original Code" is most likely the alchemist's "Visa".
So the "unfulfilled vows" of the ancestors, taken literally, are the "unfinished transactions" of the ancestors?
And judging from the time point when this "oath" was triggered, it was most likely related to the destruction of the carp group.
In that moment, Scotty made a decision.
She is the eldest daughter of the emperor of the Xize Empire and a descendant of the Godslayer. She was born with responsibilities and obligations.
The Nishizawa royal family has always kept their word and has never broken their promises. Since she has inherited the path and inheritance of her ancestors, it is natural that she should also inherit their deals and vows.
The decision made at this moment is not only due to curiosity about the unknown, but also due to the explanation of blood.
Shikodi imitated his own mood of summoning and withdrawing the "Original Code", and silently recited in his heart: Inherit the oath!
When she thought about it, the words of inquiry on the page disappeared.
Instead, there is a new interaction item.
[On April 22, 4002, Shikodi Nishizawa inherited Mangula Nishizawa's "Unfulfilled Oath", losing -300. 】
When she saw the bright "-300" on the page, Shikodi's expression almost became tense.
You know, she has worked hard for so long, and so far, she has only saved 302 profit points.
How come all the "unfulfilled vows" of this inheritance were deducted?!
Ancestor! You tricked me!
Shikodi was filled with grief and anger, but couldn't express it yet, so 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, Shikodi Caesar entered the "Oath Narrative"...]
What what what? What is going on?!
What is a “pledge narrative”?
Before Shikodi could react, she saw a bright golden light shining on the black book and moving towards her.
The golden light in the sky that only she could see was as dazzling as the sun, covering the figure of the young man close at hand, covering the killing array of carp and undead souls, and covering her entire field of vision, which made Shikodi unable to bear it.
The body's instinctive reaction was to narrow his eyes involuntarily.
Lu Ge discovered her abnormality right away.
"What did you see?" He turned his gaze and asked.
But Shikodi had no time to answer.
Time seems to stand still.
Shikodi enters the "Oath Narrative".
Her last thought was: Ah, it's so exciting to do things under the boss's nose.
…
When he came back to his senses, Shikodi found that he was standing in a palace at dusk, with bluestone pavement and golden paint walls, everything was familiar yet unfamiliar.
It was the Nishizawa Palace where she had lived since she was a child...but it didn't seem to be the case.
Two seconds later, Shikodi realized the source of the abnormality.
In her memory, the courtyard should be planted with red cassia, hydrangea and pittosporum, and April is the flowering season of cassia.
But now, in front of her, were some completely unfamiliar garden plants... Even Shikodi wasn't sure she could use them as "plants".
A shrub with small white flowers will open and close its buds and sing like wind chimes; a small tree with red fruits will shake its head and twist its branches to the singing of small white flowers.
There were several carp birds with wings attached to the branches, and a cat with two tails was lying under the pillar.
Shikodi: "..."
Was their palace ever so fantastic?
"Don't panic, this is just an illusion." Yan Luge's voice suddenly sounded in Shikodi's mind, startling her. "You can watch it as a holographic movie. Generally speaking, it's nothing.
harm."
"Ah, you..."
"My guess is that the blood connection between you and the God Killer activated some residual spell, causing you to suddenly become comatose in reality, and your five senses separated from reality and perceived something else." Yan Lüge said, "But I checked.
For a moment, this spell is not very powerful and will dissipate automatically after about an hour.
"If I use the power of my soul, I can clear it soon..."
Shikodi blurted out: "No!"
"Um?"
"Well..." Shikodi couldn't explain that this illusion was a "sworn narrative" created by himself, so he could only say vaguely, "This is an illusion left by the ancestors. I'm a little curious about what's in it."
"Okay, then you take your time and watch." Yan Lüge expressed understanding, "I'll help you protect your brain outside to prevent death, pain and other negative senses in the illusion from impacting you."
"Thanks."
To be honest, Shikodi felt a little guilty.
Yan Lüge obviously didn't know that it was him who caused her to fall into the illusion, but he still kept his promise and checked her condition as soon as she was unconscious and stayed by her side.
"You have to pay." Yan Lüge added, "This is a special addition outside the agreement."
The corner of Shikodi's mouth twitched: "...Okay."
When she thought about the upcoming sky-high bill, her guilt disappeared.
Yan Lüge's voice came again: "By the way, your body is paralyzed on the ground now, and I'm helping you get into a good sleeping position like a dead pig - for free."
Shikodi was silent for two seconds and replied politely: "...Thank you very much, but could you please change the arrangement of my body?"
"Replace it with what?" Yan Lüge thought seriously, "Place it like a corpse that has been hanging on a tree for five years?"
"...Is there a third option?"
"Why are you so troublesome? Are your Xizawa royal family even so particular about sleeping positions?"
"..."
No, what does this have to do with the Caesar royal family!
If anyone were to choose between "a dead pig lying stretched out" and "a corpse that has been hanging for five years", they would choose the difficult one, right?!
