Section 2714 Requests

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.

While Adanis was planning how to stop Angel and others, on the other side, the wise master had already explained the problems omitted in the contract in the book of truth.

The entire contract is actually quite loose, only the punishment is very severe. However, this punishment is just looking harsh, but in fact it is a means for the wise master to increase the reward in disguise.

The reason is also very clear. The first two contracts are related to wood spirits, mainly to protect wood spirits and respect the wishes of wood spirits. There are very large ambiguities in these two contracts, and many expressions are not clear. For such contracts with unclear rules, Angel has many ways to find loopholes, and even if he violates the contract, he can be exempted from punishment.

The third contract is that information about what happened in Naraku City must not be disclosed to outsiders, except for those related to wood spirits.

If there is only the first half of the sentence, the vague space is very small. But the wise master added the second sentence, and did not give a scope, which is biased towards free conviction.

As long as it is free conviction, whether to be punished by the contract will no longer be decided by the "power of the contract", but by your own thoughts.

If you think you have not done enough and deserve to be punished, the power of the contract will take effect. If you are a little thick-skinned and a little black-hearted, and think that you are right to play, then the power of the contract will not involve you.

It can be said that the restrictions of these three contracts are very loose, and each one has a way to circumvent it. That is why no matter how severe the punishment is, it is just a waste.

In Jon's words, this is a typical "gentleman's treaty".

It only constrains decent people, not the low-level and rogue.

On the surface, the wise master gave Angel enough face. But the reason is more about the wise master's concern for the wood spirit.

...

Back to the issue of the contract, the wise master explained it very clearly.

The scope of application of the third article is that Angel shall not disclose to outsiders about the things in the "Legacy". And "except for the wood spirit's affairs", this is determined by Angel himself.

There is no doubt that it is very broad.

Another question is that in the reward and punishment regulations, there is only punishment but no reward. Why is this?

The answer given by the wise master was even simpler and more straightforward: "Whatever reward you want, you can decide for yourself when you sign the contract."

This not only shocked Angel, but also the others.

Before, everyone thought that the wise master deliberately left a blank in the reward column, and he must be going to use a big move, but unexpectedly, this "big move" was too amazing.

"The contract reward is directly proposed by the super-dimensional master, and he didn't even mention the upper limit. This is too..." Wai was so surprised that he covered his slightly open mouth.

Everyone understood what Wai had not said, and nodded with deep concern.

However, the black earl poured a basin of cold water on the enthusiastic Wai in the mind band at this time: "The reward does not mention the upper limit, but the upper limit itself already exists. If you think about it carefully, you will know where the upper limit is."

At the reminder of the black earl, Wai 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 concerns.

Wai put himself in the situation. If he were to make a request, he would definitely worry about whether his request was too much and would anger the other party... and if it was too little, the other party would be happy, but he would feel at a loss.

Just these thoughts made Wai feel very entangled. Of course, the most important thing is that they are still in the territory of the wise master. If they anger the local snake, even the strong dragon will have to take shelter for a while.

If it was in Noah Manor, Wai would not care about these problems. Because he has someone backing him up.

Wai would think so only if he has a background. For wizards without background, they would not dare to make excessive requests.

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 complete. For example, Angel's request is: guarantee that I will become a legendary wizard, give me Naraku City, kill a real abyss demon, guarantee to give me a clearly lost treasure, or let your wise master kill himself... and so on.

These examples are extreme, but if we settle for the next best thing, even the wise master may not be able to satisfy them. Just like Angel's request: Forget about being a legendary wizard, I know it's hard to achieve, but let me become a true wizard.

This request is not excessive, because from the perspective of the wise master, it is easy to see that Angel has already stood at the threshold of the road to true knowledge, and it only takes time and accumulation to cross it.

Does it sound like it will definitely work? Not necessarily.

Because the word "time" and "accumulation" both include the "process" that no one knows. Once the "process" is involved, variables will appear, such as Angel was suddenly killed in the process of "accumulating background", or Angel thought about it one day, which resulted in energy backlash and a mess of thinking space.

Then he may not become a true wizard in the end.

This kind of variable requirement, even if it is close at hand, is just a beautiful dream that can be shattered at any time.

Since it is a dream, it is difficult to achieve. So, the upper limit is also revealed.

First, you cannot make excessive demands, which even the wisest ruler cannot fulfill; second, the demands cannot be too empty and must be grounded in reality; finally, the demands made must comply with equality and fairness as much as possible, and you should get as much return as you pay.

This is the limitation of the blank reward column set by the wise master.

Not only can Wai analyze it, but Angel, as the party involved, can naturally analyze it.

All the cheapness you think is actually just paying the price in another way. Every "gift" you get is marked with a price. Excessive demands will only make you pay more in an invisible way.

For example, if Angel made excessive demands in this contract, the wise master would definitely agree. It is estimated that the wise master would be happy to see Angel make such excessive demands.

Because Angel will pay a greater price to make the originally vague contract terms gradually clear.

Originally, the wise master just hoped that Angel and the wood spirit would have a bond, and through emotional bonds, the safety of the wood spirit would 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 ignore it if he wants to.

This is like an ups and downs on the road ahead. In a normal equal contract, he is just a small arc that 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 ask for, the deeper the pit will be, and in turn it will be you who will be pitted, and in the end you may never climb out of this deep pit.

After understanding this truth, how could Angel not understand that this is the intentional blank left by the wise master.

Seeing that Angel was silent for a long time, the wise master said: "How about it, if you think it through, we will sign the contract."

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.

Dodolo's prediction that "the wise are not stupid" reminds Angel that he must go to the legacy land without the wise. If the wise stand on their side, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

It's just that what kind of reward should be proposed, this is what Angel needs to think about.

The best requirement is definitely knowledge. However, the wise master has already agreed to hand over his collection of alchemical notes and his own early notes to Angel.

Therefore, purely from the knowledge point of view, Angel has already gained a lot. As a "wise man", the wise master undoubtedly has other knowledge reserves, but these are not necessarily what Angel needs. He has already obtained the only attractive alchemy notebook. It's not that Angel doesn't like other knowledge, but he thinks it can't be used in a short time.

Moreover, the foundation of the Savage Cave is higher than that of Naraku City. So far, the Cloud Library has been adding a large number of books every day, many of which are unique copies, because they are basically written by the old book.

In terms of knowledge, Angel is not too worried at present.

What reward should I ask for?

After thinking for a moment, Angel said: "I can sign this contract, but I hope the wise master will tell me something... about the past."

"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 and rebirth of Naraku City. There are other things I want to know."

Wise master: "Oh? Then you might as well ask it out, let me see if I know it."

Angel did not speak, but quietly stared at the wise master.

The wise master immediately understood what Angel meant. He didn't want to make what he wanted to know public, and even his teammates couldn't hear it.

What could it be? Could it be related to Angel's coming to the underground waterway?

The curiosity in the mind of the wise master had risen. Without hesitation, he directly cast a mind tie to connect him and Angel.

It's called a mind tie, but it's actually a little different from an ordinary mind tie. Its energy source is not based on the body of the wise master, but on the magic array under his feet.

In other words, if you want to eavesdrop on the conversation in the mind tie, you will not face the wise master alone, but the magic array of the entire underground waterway, which will overturn you.

Even if the black earl's body came, he couldn't eavesdrop.

It can be said that this is the exclusive ability of the wise master. After all, the actual controller of the magic array in the underground waterway is the wise master. Only he has such confidence to control the magic array as a support.

"You can talk now. No one will interrupt you. What news do you want to know?"

Angel pondered for a moment: "What I want to know is what experiments were conducted in Naraku City ten thousand years ago, and all the information related to the 'Snake Cone'."

Along the way, Angel has encountered several experimental areas, which basically proves that Naraku City is conducting human experiments.

Human experiments are not new in the wizarding world, but almost all of these experimental tools have the logo of the snake cone. Angel had always believed that the snake cone was the symbol of the giant snake country in the fairy tale world, but after coming to the underground waterway, he found that the snake cone had appeared ten thousand years ago.

The Black Earl also told Angel a secret that the snake cone was related to the Baiyuan people.

Angel had asked Xixia before, and Xixia's answer was either that she didn't know or that she couldn't say it because of the contract restrictions.

So, perhaps the only one who could tell him about the snake cone was the wise master.

After hearing Angel's question, the wise master was silent for a long time. He originally thought that Angel might ask about Naraku Castle, Augustine, or even about 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."

Angel's explanation, let alone the wise master, didn't believe it. If he said it, no one present would believe it.

However, Angel's explanation at least revealed one thing. He didn't 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: "Naraku City conducted many experiments at the beginning. 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 the snake-wrapped cone."

Hearing this, Angel was slightly relieved, 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 these 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 what you mentioned as 'related' to snake-wrapped cones is too large. Are you sure you don't want to narrow it down a bit?"

Angel was silent for a moment and said: "All 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. Doesn't necessarily have practical meaning.

But if it has something to do with a source worshiper, it's different.

You must know that the logo of Snake and Cone itself comes from the Baiyuan people.

Angel inquired about the source worshiper because he wanted to know? Or is it that Sicia is instigating her behind her back? Also, could the experiment to explore the Baiyuan people and Naraku City be the reason why Angel came to the underground sewer this time?

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 master took the lead in imprinting his own energy on the contract.

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.

Still...the right hand.
