Chapter 128 A "bribery" (Thanks to the book friend Death and Life Contract for providing cheating inspiration)
Being in this strange space, Gray Lint had neither the perception of time nor the perception of distance. After a few words with Trunsoest, he suddenly remembered that he had promised to give him the "balancer"
The promise of features.
"Trunsoest."
"Your Highness, I am here."
"What exactly is going on with you now?"
He was referring to the matter of becoming a sealed object but retaining the consciousness of his life.
Since he regained consciousness, Trunsoest no longer held the sword in one hand and the opened code in the other. Instead, he used the right hand to hold the sword and the left hand to stand naturally.
Regarding his transformation, Gray Linte was thoughtful.
That code should be the "Judge"'s unique "Trunsoest Brass Book", but now its ownership no longer belongs to the "Night King", and he is no longer qualified to speak in "Chaos".
"Son" holds this uniqueness in front of him.
Trunsoest leaned slightly and explained:
"I wonder if Your Highness has some understanding of the 'Bound One' path."
"I borrowed the power of the 'ancient evil object' from sequence two of this pathway to make this bronze bell create a blank consciousness out of thin air, and then transferred my memory and consciousness to it."
Generating blank consciousness out of thin air? This sounds a bit like the ability of the "audience" pathway.
Grayling nodded and asked:
"Is the power of the 'ancient evil' still under your control? In what form does it exist?" This should be the so-called "God of Curses" who responded to Alister's prayer.
Trunsoest nodded and replied:
"He was affected in the 'War of the Four Emperors', and his consciousness was defeated by more than 90%. He is still an angel now, but he is restrained by me in an independent area of the Bronze Bell of Order, and can only respond unconsciously
Some simple rituals for believers.”
It’s an angel again…
Gray Linte almost regards himself as the real "son of chaos". His angelic power comes from four sources!
"What are the powers you can call upon now?"
"Your Highness, in my current state, the power of the 'ancient evil object' cannot be used at all... I can only simply release it.
I can use the power belonging to the 'Hand of Order' unlimited times, but if I am not in a special state such as 'High Level Secret', once I use extraordinary abilities in the real world, I will be attacked by the other two 'Hands of Order'.
Hands' locked."
What kind of combat help can this provide for yourself? Do you just want to be an "automated spell production machine" in this strange space?
"What about after completing the missing 'balancer' and below?"
He continued to ask.
Trunsoest thought for a moment, then said:
"This... I'm not sure yet, but as long as it doesn't disturb the order of the real world too much, I should be able to hide it from those two."
Another very troublesome question is how to carry such a big copper bell around... The difficulty is not in the weight!
As if seeing his troubles, Trunsoest added:
"The space I simulated in the 'Land of Disorder' inside the 'Bronze Bell of Order' has a certain connection with this source of matter.
After your highness senses stable source of matter again, you can use it to pull me to this area.
Similarly, only after it becomes stable again can you peel off the 'balancer' characteristics in the person of the 'Duke of Entropy' under the natural radiation of its power. But I have a suggestion for your reference."
After regaining some of his consciousness, Gray Lint accepted His reverence very naturally:
"you say."
…
Trunsoest organized his words a little and offered his advice:
"You can 'sacrifice' it directly to me in the real world, which will greatly help you digest the 'briber' potion in the real world."
Gray Linte opened his eyes slightly and asked strangely:
"Is this considered a 'bribery'?"
His awakened new consciousness does not include things like digestion potions and acting codes - because they have no meaning to the activated "Uncertain Mist" consciousness, which is the source of matter itself and does not need to be digested at all.
"In my opinion, the meaning of 'bribery' should be a behavior given by a lower-ranking person to a higher-ranking person without complying with the 'rules' in order to obtain more illegitimate benefits?"
He made his guess based solely on the word "bribery" and was not sure whether it fully met the accurate definition of "bribery".
Trunsoest was once a Sequence 1 "Sequencer Prince" of the same path. He is very familiar with the performance of this path and is very professional.
He kept his usual smile and explained:
“The core of the role of ‘bribery’ is ‘giving things’ and ‘obtaining more illegitimate benefits’, but we must be careful not to get used to ‘bribery’ and ‘take shortcuts to achieve the goal’.
Also, you are absolutely right about those who are high and those who are low.
Normally, if you don't know that sacrificing items to me can be regarded as a 'bribery', then this behavior is regarded as a standard bribe, because you who do this behavior are a low-level existence. On the other hand, when you know this
It can be regarded as a 'bribery', so this bribery is not valid because your essential personality is much higher than mine."
"this……"
Gray Linte was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what the meaning of his chatter was. Did it ultimately prove that he couldn't complete the role by "bribing" him with this "balancer" characteristic? Then it would be better to do it from the beginning.
If you don't say this directly, there is at least half a chance that you will not realize that this is a "bribery" and complete the role.
Trunsoest seems to enjoy this process of imparting knowledge very much. It is not known whether he enjoys simply "transferring knowledge" or whether he enjoys the process of "teaching new children of chaos".
The smile on His handsome face became brighter:
“This is in general, but it does not apply to a majestic and domineering ‘Black Emperor’.
For a ‘Black Emperor’ who bends the rules to serve himself:
Anything given is a bribe!"
…
Gray Linte's breathing was stagnant, and he still couldn't guess the power of the gods with an ordinary person's personality. And when he was shocked by the tyranny of the "Black Emperor", he heard Dao Trunsoest added.
:
“This is still a distorted understanding of ‘bribery’ without invoking the ‘sefirot’.
If you fully master the 'World of Order', you can completely set up the underlying rules of this world in a regional manner, for example: 'Gods can remain sane without anchors', 'There is no madness here, and you are allowed to take magic potions at will'
'...Of course, this can only be effective if you maintain your strength.
If you want to permanently modify a certain underlying rule of the world, at least it is not easy for the 'Judge' to do it. It will take a certain amount of time and can only be modified within certain limits.
For example, I once added a bottom-level rule of the world: 'Trunsoest never dies.'
As long as there is no new 'Judge' to erase it and no 'Black Emperor' to distort it, it will be difficult for me to be truly killed, at least not with the power of the old days."
…
Trunsoest's description of the "rules" shocked Grallint, but at the same time, it gave him an initial understanding of the essential meaning of "Disorder" or "Children of Chaos".
They are completely unreasonable and do not talk about the existence of basic logic, because they are the rules and logic itself!
————————————————————————
PS: In fact, the explanation of "the rules themselves" here is still not quite adequate. Because these descriptions are still in line with our understanding of the world, they are "reasonable" in our opinion, and they do not ignore the underlying basic rules of the world.
The real "Old Day" should be an existence that is completely incomprehensible to human logic.
