While Adanis was planning how to intercept Angel and others, on the other side, the wise master had already explained clearly the issues missing from the contract in the mantra book.
The entire contract is actually relatively loose, only the punishment is very severe. However, this punishment seems to be harsh, but it is actually a method used by wise men to increase rewards in disguise.
The reason is also very clear. The first two contracts are related to the wood spirit, mainly to protect the wood spirit and respect the wishes of the wood spirit. In these two contracts, the ambiguity is very large, and many expressions are not clear. This kind of very
In a contract with clear rules, Angel has many ways to exploit loopholes. Even if he violates the contract, he can avoid punishment.
The third contract is that information about what happened in Naraku City must not be disclosed to outsiders, except for things related to the wood spirits.
If there was only the first half of the sentence, the room for ambiguity would be very small. But the wise man added the last sentence without giving a category, which is biased towards free mind realization.
As long as it is a free mind, whether you will be punished by the contract will no longer be decided by the "power of the contract", but by your own thoughts.
If you feel that you have not done enough and deserve to be punished, then the power of the contract will take effect. If you are thicker-skinned and darker-hearted, and think that you are doing the right thing, the power of the contract will not affect you.
It can be said that the restrictions of these three contracts are very loose, and there are ways to circumvent each one. Because of this, no matter how harsh the punishment is, it will be in vain.
In Jon's words, this is a typical "gentleman's treaty".
It only restrains decent people and does not restrain dishonest people and scoundrels.
On the surface, the Wise Lord gave Angel enough face. But the reason behind it was more that the Wise Lord was worried about the wood spirit.
…
Back to the issue of the contract, the wise master explained it very clearly.
The third scope of application is that Angel is not allowed to reveal anything about the "legacy" to outsiders. "Except for the wood spirit matters", this is left to Angel's own judgment.
There is no doubt that it is very broad.
Another question is that in the reward and punishment regulations, there are only punishments but no rewards. Why is this?
The answer given by the wise master is even more simple and crude: "What kind of return you want, you can decide it yourself when you sign the contract."
These words not only shocked Angel, but others also looked surprised.
Before, everyone thought that the Wise Lord left the reward column blank specifically to enlarge his move, but they didn't expect that this "ultimate move" was too amazing.
"The contract rewards are directly raised by Master Chao Dimension, and the upper limit is not even mentioned. This is too..." Vai was so surprised that he covered his slightly open mouth.
Everyone understood what Vai had left to say, and they all nodded in agreement.
However, the Black Earl was in the spiritual belt at this time, pouring cold water on the enthusiastic Vai: "It is true that there is no upper limit for the reward, but the upper limit itself already exists. If you think about it carefully, you will know that the upper limit is
where."
After being reminded by the Black Earl, Vai thought deeply for a moment and nodded with enlightenment.
Indeed, it seems that there is no upper limit. However, if you really want to make a request, you will have more worries.
Vai put himself in. If he makes a request, he must be concerned about whether my request is too much and whether it will anger the other party... and if it is too little, the other party will be happy, but he himself will feel at a loss.
Just these thoughts make Vai feel very entangled. Of course, the most important thing is that they are still in the territory dominated by wise men, angering local snakes, and even strong dragons have to stay away for a while.
If it were at Noah Manor, Vai wouldn't care about these problems. Because, he has someone behind him.
Vai only thinks this way if he has a background. For a wizard without a background, he would not dare to make excessive demands.
In addition to this reason, this blank reward actually has a hidden upper limit.
You can't make a request that the wise master can't fulfill. For example, Angel's request is: guarantee that I will become a legendary wizard, give me the city of Naraku, kill a real abyss demon, and guarantee to give me a piece of clear lost history.
treasure, or let you, the wise man, take control of your own life...etc.
These examples are extreme examples, but if you settle for the second best, the wise master may not be able to satisfy you. Just like Angel's request: Forget about the legendary wizard, I know it is difficult to achieve, but let me become a wizard of true knowledge.
This requirement is actually not too much, because from the perspective of a wise man, it is actually easy to see that Angel has stood at the threshold of the road to true knowledge, and it only takes time and accumulation to cross it.
Sounds like it’s definitely possible? Not necessarily.
Because "time" and "accumulation", the parts of speech of these two words, include the "process" that no one knows. And once the "process" is involved, variables will appear. For example, Angel's "accumulation of heritage"
In the process, he was suddenly killed. For example, Angel was thinking all over the place one day, which resulted in a backlash of energy and a mess in his thinking space.
Then you may not become a true wizard in the end.
This kind of requirement full of variables, even if it is close at hand, is just a dream that can be shattered at any time.
Since it is a dream, it is difficult to realize. Therefore, the upper limit is also set.
First of all, you can’t make excessive demands that even a wise man can’t realize; secondly, your demands can’t be too frivolous and need to be grounded in reality; finally, the demands you make must comply with equality and justice as much as possible. Whatever the price you pay, you’d better get it.
return.
This is the limit of the Wise Master setting a blank reward column.
Not only Vai can analyze it, Angel, as a person involved, can naturally analyze it.
Everything you think is cheap is actually just another way of paying the price. Every "gift" you get has a price tag, and asking for too much will only make you pay the price in an invisible way.
of more.
For example, in this contract, if Angel made excessive demands, the wise master would definitely agree to it. It is estimated that the wise master would be happy to see Angel make such excessive demands.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because Angel will pay a greater price to make the originally vague contract terms gradually clear.
Originally, the wise master only wanted Angel to form a bond with the wood spirit, and through the emotional bond, the safety of the wood spirit could be protected to the greatest extent.
And 'hope' is not 'certain'. Angel can completely ignore it and laugh it off. But after he made excessive demands, he may not be able to do it if he wants to ignore it.
This is like an ups and downs on the road ahead. In a normal equal contract, it is just a small arc and will not affect anything.
But if you want to sign an unequal contract, then this is not an ups and downs, but a big pit. The more you push it too much, the deeper the pit will be. In turn, you will be pitted yourself, and in the end you may never even be able to climb out.
Get out of this pit.
After understanding this truth, how could Angel not understand that this was the deliberate blankness left by the wise master?
Seeing that Angel was silent for a long time, the wise master said, "How about it, if you think about it, we will sign a contract."
The contract... Angel will definitely sign it.
This contract is not harsh, and after signing the contract, it means that the wise master is on their side.
"A wise man is not stupid" prophesied by Dodolo reminds Angel that if you want to go to the legacy, you must avoid the wise man. If the wise man is on their side, the advantages will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
However, Angel needs to think about what kind of return should be drawn up.
The best request is definitely knowledge. However, the wise master has already agreed and handed over his collection of alchemy manuscripts and his own original manuscripts from his early years to Angel.
Therefore, in terms of pure knowledge, Angel has gained a lot. As a "smart man", there is no doubt that the wise master must have other knowledge reserves, but these are not necessarily what Angel needs. The only attraction is
He had already obtained the powerful alchemy handbook, and Angel either looked down on other knowledge or felt that he would not need it in a short time.
Moreover, the background of the Savage Cave is only higher than that of Naluo City. So far, the Cloud Library has been adding a large number of new books every day, many of which are unique, because they are basically written by Shu Lao.
In terms of knowledge, Angel is not too worried at the moment.
So what reward should be given?
After Angel thought for a moment, he said: "I can sign this contract, but I hope the wise master will tell me some... past things."
"What happened in the past?" The wise master raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to know the past of Naraku City?"
Angel: "I am not interested in the destruction or rebirth of Naraku City. There are other things I want to know."
The wise man ruled: "Oh? Then you might as well ask and let me see if I know."
Angel did not speak, but quietly stared at the wise master.
The wise master immediately understood what Angel meant. What he wanted to know did not want to be made public, not even to his teammates.
What could it be? Is it related to Angellai's underground sewer?
The curiosity in the mind of the wise ruler has aroused, and without hesitation, he directly cast a psychic tether to connect him and Angel.
It is said to be a spiritual belt, but in fact it is somewhat different from an ordinary spiritual belt. Its energy source does not rely on the body dominated by the wise man, but relies on the magic energy array under its feet.
In other words, if you want to eavesdrop on the conversation in the psychic belt, what you will face is not the wise master alone, but the magic energy array of the entire underground waterway, which will overturn you.
Even if the Black Earl's true form comes, he can't eavesdrop.
It can be said that this is the exclusive ability of the Wise Lord. After all, the actual controller of the magic energy array in the underground waterway is the Wise Lord. Only he has the confidence to control the magic energy array as a basis.
"You can tell me now, no one will disturb you. What news do you want to know?"
Angel pondered for a moment: "What I want to know is what the experiment was done in Narok City ten thousand years ago, and all the information related to the 'Snake Wrapping Cone'."
Along the way, Angel has encountered several experimental areas, which can basically prove that Naraku City is conducting human experiments.
Human experimentation is nothing new in the wizarding world, but the equipment used in these experiments almost all has the logo of the snake entangled cone. Angel had always believed that the snake entangled cone was the symbol of the country of giant snakes in the fairy tale world, but when it came to
After going underground, I discovered that snake-wrapped cones had appeared thousands of years ago.
The Black Earl also told Angel a secret, that the snake-wrapped cone was related to the Source Worshipers.
Angel had asked Xicia before, and Xicia's answer was either that she didn't know, or that she couldn't tell due to contract restrictions.
Therefore, perhaps only the wise man can tell him about the snake entwining the cone.
The wise master was silent for a long time after hearing Angel's question. He originally thought that Angel might ask about Narok City, Augustine, or even Franklin and Margaret.
But unexpectedly, Angel asked a question that the wise master thought had nothing to do with him.
In a daze, it seemed that the person standing in front of him was not Angel, but Sisia, who was sitting on the throne with her legs crossed, looking down at him from a high position.
"Are you interested in this?"
Angel: "What the Lord wants to ask is, why am I interested in this? The answer is simple. I have seen the symbol of a snake entwined with a cone in other places."
Don't say that the wise master doesn't believe Angel's explanation. If he said it, no one present would believe it.
However, Angel's explanation at least revealed one piece of information. He did not want to talk about the snake-wrapped cone with anyone else, even the wise master.
The wise master did not expose the obvious lie, but pondered for a moment and said: "There were many experiments done in Narok City. I can't tell you the core experiments. I can pick a few other experiments that I can talk about."
Seeing Angel frowning, the wise master added: "Don't worry, the experiments I mentioned are all related to snake entwining cones."
Hearing this, Angel breathed a sigh of relief, but a new doubt arose: "Is the core experiment related to the snake-wrapped cone?"
The wise master shook his head slightly: "Whether it's relevant or not, I can't tell you. Because this is a contract signed with the major masters ten thousand years ago, and this experimental information cannot be leaked."
Angel could only nod.
"As for the snake wrapped around the awl, I can tell you. But if you can't talk about it, I will still avoid it."
There was actually no need for the wise master to say the second half of the sentence, but by saying the second half, he reminded Angel in disguise that the snake-wrapped cone was probably really related to the core experiment of Naraku City.
"Also, the scope of the things you mentioned about being 'related' to snakes and cones is too large. Are you sure you don't want to narrow the scope?"
Angel was silent for a moment and said: "All the information related to the snake entangled awl and... the source worshipers."
The wise ruler squinted his eyes and thought to himself: Sure enough.
He had previously wondered why Angel suddenly mentioned the Snake Cone. It was just a logo on the experimental equipment. To put it bluntly, it was almost like a trademark. It might not have any actual meaning.
But if it is related to the source worshiper, it will be different.
You must know that the logo of Snake and Cone itself comes from the Baiyuan people.
When Angel inquired about the source worshipers, did he want to know for himself? Or was Sicia instigating it behind his back? Also, could the experiment to explore the source worshipers and Naraku City be the reason why Angel came to the underground sewer this time?
reason?
The wise master closed his eyes and thought for a moment, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and nodded to Angel: "Okay."
Angel: "Then sign the contract."
The wise master smiled and controlled the energy to write a row of words on the reward column of the mantra book contract: intelligence information.
Then, the wise man took the lead in marking the contract with his own energy.
The contract in the mantra book records the energy you release, and its binding force is stronger than the mere restriction of your name.
Angel saw that the wise master had signed the contract. He hesitated for a moment and then extended his hand.
