According to common sense, the departure of the wood spirit was initiated by Angel, so to a certain extent, he was obliged to protect the wood spirit.
If you start from this perspective, it is acceptable to leave the reward column blank in the signed contract.
However, the contract drawn up by the wise master is different.
He added contract terms and penalties for violating these terms, and the penalties were very severe, involving the spiritual sea and the land of souls.
Of the three extraordinary faculties possessed by wizards, only the thinking space has not been mentioned. However, this does not mean that the thinking space will not be affected. Any damage to any of these three faculties will affect the others to a greater or lesser extent.
function.
For example, the punishments mentioned by the Wise Lord are - if you violate the terms, the spiritual sea will suffer backlash, and the level of backlash is provided by the power of the contract.
The power of the contract clearly states that it is the second-level backlash given by the will of the world. The level of this backlash is already very high, which is equivalent to half of Angel's mental tentacles being broken at the same time. This time, the spiritual sea suffered a great deal of damage.
Once the spiritual sea is severely damaged, Angel will probably be in the same situation as "Blooded Shadow Thorn" Yurika, going insane and losing control of her magic power. The extent to which she loses control depends on whether the magic whirlpool in the thinking space is stable.
Once it is unstable, the backlash of the magic whirlpool will also damage the thinking space.
Not to mention the damage to the place of the soul. The soul is the most subtle existence. Whether it is injured or contaminated, it will cause a series of consequences. Moreover, it will cause comprehensive damage from the body to the spirit.
However, Angel's soul is different and may be able to resist a certain degree of contract power, but this is still an unknown result. Even if the Soul Land can really resist the contract power, the backlash of the unprotected spiritual sea is enough to make
Angel was hit hard.
Therefore, the punishment is quite severe, exceeding that of most contracts. Once violated, you will not die, but at least you will experience a long period of life worse than death.
Such a large punishment would become a joke if there is no matching logical chain of interests.
Why did Angel sign the contract with this kind of unilateral oppression?
Even if the wise master uses the threat of strength to force Angel to sign the contract, how can he guarantee that Angel will not bear the price and violate the contract after leaving?
What's more, Angel has already revealed his identity and background. Unless the wise master kills him here, otherwise once Angel is allowed to leave, the squeeze contract will definitely bring disaster to Naraku City.
Therefore, this kind of unilaterally exploitative contract against Angel had no value from the beginning.
However, since the wise master dared to write the punishment so big, it is impossible for him not to understand the key point.
Angel pondered for a moment and did not immediately raise any doubts. Instead, he first looked at the specific terms of the contract.
He believed that the wise man would have an explanation later.
If there is no explanation, it is equivalent to showing a knife and overturning the table.
The wood spirit is still in Angor's hands, and with the wise man controlling its attitude, it should not lead to a fierce confrontation at this time.
Angel temporarily put aside his doubts, looked up, and read the terms of the contract.
The terms of the contract are not too many, there are three in total.
Angel looked at them one by one, his eyes slowly calming down.
"First, make sure you don't have any intention of harming the wood spirit, and you can't intentionally harm the wood spirit."
This article actually corresponds to Angel's previous thoughts. The wise master cares about the wood spirit very much. Since the wood spirit has decided to leave and is already in Angel's hands, if the wise master releases an squeeze contract,
It will only be counterproductive.
Moreover, the Wise Lord did not completely favor the wood spirits in the wording of the terms drawn up.
Just like "You cannot intentionally harm wood spirits", this clause actually has obvious loopholes. "You cannot intentionally harm", what about "unintentional harm"? What is the scope of "unintentional harm"?
Is it considered intentional harm if the harm is caused when the act is involuntary due to the influence of law?
These loopholes are very obvious and can be exploited, and the wise master must also understand that he did this on purpose.
The wise master obviously understands that the more restrictions he imposes, the more he will rebel. Giving too many restrictions will only make Angel restrained and alienate him from the wood spirit. He wants Angel to sincerely protect the wood spirit and grow up with the young eagle.
Again, letting go is the best way.
But letting go doesn't mean completely ignoring it.
It is under this premise that the first clause was promoted.
"Second, after the wood spirit returns to its original owner, try its best to maintain the relationship between the wood spirit and the original owner. If the wood spirit chooses to come back because it is not adaptable, it needs to be protected to return to Naraku City."
This article is also the protection of the wood spirit by the wise master. However, I am more worried about Sanders' attitude.
All Angel has to do is mediate, which is not too difficult.
However, Wise Master still deliberately left some spaces unclear in the terms.
The so-called "unadaptation" is a very broad condition. Moreover, only when you are alive can you be unfit. If you are dead, what is the point of being unfit?
Therefore, the wise master also wanted Angel to ensure the safety of the wood spirit's life while it was still its original owner.
It’s just that I didn’t write out the condition.
Because it is not written down, if something goes wrong, the will of the world will decide whether it violates the contract or not. This situation is very common in contracts, and free conscience is the criterion.
If Angel had a clear conscience and protected him as much as possible, but the wood spirit still died in the end, then it would not be considered a breach of the contract.
But Angel had a way to calm down the wooden spirit and support it in returning to Naraku City, but he just watched with cold eyes, which was a violation of the contract.
Of course, as long as it is a free heart, it is a time to test human nature.
As long as Angel's character is inferior and he can look on coldly but still have a clear conscience, then it doesn't count as a breach of the contract.
Therefore, this one is also more biased towards Angel.
In this way, the wise master implicitly told Angel: I believe in your morality and character.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the real situation, it is difficult to say whether the wise master trusts Angel’s morality. However, in the contract, the wise man expressed his position like this, which at least made Angel
The pressure in the contract will not be that heavy.
"Third, do not mention anything about what happened in Naraku City to Savage Cave and its stakeholders in any way, either expressly or implicitly. Except for the case of Kodama."
This item is not entirely related to the wood spirit. Angel guessed that the wise master proposed this item more to maintain the secret of Naraku City?
It would be best not to let anyone, especially a behemoth like Savage Cave, become interested in Naraku Castle?
If this is the case, Angel thinks... the wise master may have miscalculated.
The high-level officials of Savage Cave are so busy with everything around them, how can they have any free time to become interested in Naraku City? Even if they really know what the secrets of Naraku City are, they probably just send out some tasks in the mission hall for those who have time to come and try them out.
Luck. Other than that, no big moves.
However, although Angel knew the thoughts of the higher-ups in the Savage Cave, he could not tell the wise master.
Obviously, among the three contract terms ruled by the wise man, this last one is the most stringent.
If you really want to see the severity of the contract and make the wise ruler willingly pay for the benefits to seal it, you have to look at this one.
…
No one knows what Angel thinks about this contract; however, from the perspective of an outsider like Earl Black, the terms of this contract are very broad.
The thoughts dominated by wise men are clearly revealed.
What he wants is not to use terms to force Angel to protect the Wood Spirit, but to use emotional bonds to make Angel take the initiative to protect the Wood Spirit.
If this kind of contract is signed with the Black Earl, it will definitely not succeed. It is very difficult to get the Black Earl to give up emotional ties.
Because I have lived longer and seen more, my defenses have become higher and higher.
Without experiencing life and death or great sorrow and joy together, it is very difficult to break through this mental defense.
But young people are different.
The younger you are, the easier it is to be emotional. This kind of emotion is not limited to love, but also various emotions. Once these emotions are connected, as long as they do not experience betrayal, they will inevitably become newer over time.
Just like Vai and Doakes, they met when they were young, had some common experiences of quarrels, and became close friends.
And their personalities are actually two extremes. Vai is a homebody, while Doakes is a wanderer. If they didn't meet each other when they were young, it would be difficult for them to become close friends.
Once a bond is formed, many realistic rules will be erased. For example, even if Doakes is promoted to an official wizard, Vai has never respected him.
Si asked Vai to call him by his honorific, but Vai got tired of saying it once or twice, and Doakes didn't feel relieved.
Therefore, bondage is something unique and rare for everyone.
Angel was still young, and he was most likely to be emotionally bound at this time, so the wise master would use this method to Angel.
It's both a clear plan and a show of goodwill.
Therefore, when the Black Earl sees this contract, he will think that the wise master is a sensible person.
Of course, the Black Earl also saw the severe punishment and the blank reward. He did not analyze it like Angel did. He could see almost at a glance that the wise master must have other explanations.
Otherwise, the wise master would not have to draw up the "reward" column.
However, not everything about this contract was clear to Earl Black. He felt a little confused about the last one.
"Nothing related to Naraku City is allowed, except for the situation of Kodama." This is very confusing. To tell the emotions of Kodama, many things need to be said in the underground water.
The wise master must have considered it, but he didn't write it clearly. Why?
Supplementary terms?
When the Black Earl was wondering about the third clause, Angel also felt a little subtle about the third clause.
He doesn't care about the situation of Mu Ling, nor does he care whether he talks about Naraku City or not. What he cares about is... He has revealed various things about Naraku City in the Wilderness of Dreams. If this is also included in the terms, then
Wouldn't it be true that as soon as he signed the contract, he would be immediately affected by the contract's backlash?
This is not good.
"Do you have any doubts about this contract?" The wise master saw Angel retracting his gaze and knew that he had finished reading the contract, so he asked.
Angel didn't reveal his emotions, so the wise master asked if he had any doubts, obviously presupposing the premise: you must have doubts.
The soul of the Bar Spirit infected by Doakes suddenly ignited, and Angel wanted to do the opposite to the wise master, saying that he had no doubts. But... he still swallowed the words.
The reward column is still blank. If he said he had no doubts, wouldn't it be a blank slate?
Angel: "I am indeed a little confused."
The wise master remained silent and signaled Angel to continue.
Angel pointed to the third contract clause: "I can try my best to do the first two clauses. But this one, I think is slightly inappropriate."
"What's wrong?"
Angel: "When I came to the Garden Maze, I already reported my whereabouts to my mentor. If this can be considered a disclosure, then I have already disclosed it."
Angel's words, leaving aside the reaction of the wise master, Doakes and others looked at Angel in surprise.
When did Angel report his whereabouts to Sanders? How could they not know?
Although Doakes and others were only confused for a moment, they were still captured by the wise master.
However, before the wise master could ask, Angel took the initiative and said, "I have a mini signal tower."
The mini signal tower sounded familiar to the wise master. He had heard of signal towers, but he didn't know what a mini signal tower was.
At this time, the Black Earl gave an explanation.
The Black Earl briefly told the history of the invention of the signal tower, and also pointed out that not everyone has a mini signal tower, including many leaders of wizard organizations.
Angel has it because he is a member of the R&D Institute.
In other words, Angel's other identity has also been exposed.
However, Angel himself didn't care. The more important his background was, the higher his level of security became.
The Wise Lord has always had channels to communicate with the outside world, so he naturally understands the importance of the R&D Institute.
Although he didn't express anything on his face, in his heart he really paid more attention to him as Angel had guessed. But his old habit of being suspicious came back... Mainly because Angel's ability and age were too great.
It doesn’t match anymore.
However, the wise master has not lost his mind after all, and the wood spirit still relies on Angel. Moreover, the more important Angel's identity is, the more secure the wood spirit's safety is.
The Wise Lord is very fortunate that he chose the path of bonding the wood spirit and Angel instead of taking advantage of each other.
If it finally happens, the wood spirit will be in the true lap. For the wood spirit, this will only have advantages and no disadvantages.
Thoughts were flowing rapidly in the mind of the wise man, but his expression remained calm: "No need to worry, the previously disclosed whereabouts are not within the scope of the contract. The moment the contract is generated will be used as the standard."
