Section 3028: Scam

Shayna looked at Lucia with burning eyes.

Whether it was her or Wai, the guessed answers might be biased because they were not familiar with the man in the suit.

But Lucia was different. As the person in charge of the Starry 13th Block, and the man in the suit also came from the Starry Block, he obviously knew some information about the man in the suit, and he might even have guessed about his identity.

Therefore, Lucia's guess was definitely more reliable than others.

And Lucia was indeed as Shayna thought, he did think about the identity of the man in the suit. However, if this kind of information is counted, it can also be regarded as confidential. Lucia would not answer it normally.

But now it was the Black Earl who asked him a question. As the top wizard in the South Region, the Black Earl did not even dare to provoke the preacher, so how could he dare to refuse.

Lucia thought about it and decided to speak out.

As Shayna said, his answer was just a guess, and the guessed information was only ambiguous if it was really confidential. Lucia can completely control the scale by herself. As long as she does not reveal a "determined" tone in her conversation, it should not be considered a violation of the secret-keeping oath of the Starry Street District.

Thinking of this, Lucia said: "I cannot reveal the information about the man in the suit in the Starry Street District, nor will it be used as an argument for intelligence inference. What I am saying now is just some speculation based on the information I see at the moment."

"You just saw that every time the man in the suit spoke, it was like a law of existence, and he directly set a rule. This makes me think of a possibility... Word Spirit."

Shayna frowned: "Are you talking about the activation technique of the mysterious side sound system?"

The so-called Word Spirit, in Shayna's understanding, is a kind of activation technique of the mysterious side sound system, which can use sound to pry the magic source. Word Spirit can not only attack the target, but also is a high-quality medium for inflicting curses.

"Yes." Lucia nodded.

Shayna said in disbelief: "But, I have only heard that the Word Spirit can pry the source of magic, exert the power of magic, and can also be used as a medium for curses; I have never heard that the Word Spirit can make rules?"

Lucia: "What if what we see is not a rule?"

Shayna: "What do you mean?"

Lucia sighed: "You can think about it, can people abide by a certain behavior, in addition to the power of rules, what other methods are there?"

Hearing Lucia's question, Shayna reacted instantly: "It's a contract!"

Lucia nodded: "Yes, my guess is that what the man in the suit did was not to make rules, but to pry the source of magic through the Word Spirit to generate a special contract. Once you sign a contract, you must abide by the agreement in the contract."

When Lucia said this, Wai beside him also showed a look of enlightenment.

If it is the power of the contract, it can indeed make both parties abide by certain rules.

However, although Wai understood the ability and principle of the man in the suit, he was still a little confused: "As for the contract, I remember that it must be signed with the consent of both parties. Even if you use the word spirit, you should follow this principle, right?"

Lucia: "Indeed, the premise of the contract is that both parties agree and make a signing ceremony. Generally speaking, the traditional signing ceremony requires paper to assist in signing, but what if it is unusual?"

Wai looked puzzled: "What's unusual?"

At this time, Shayna gave the answer: "Verbal contract, you mean, the man in the suit used a verbal contract. If it is a verbal contract, there is no need to use other media as the carrier of the oath. As long as both parties agree, the contract is considered to be established."

Lucia nodded and looked at Shayna with admiration: "That's right. It seems that you have guessed it."

Guessed it just now? Guessed what? Wai was still confused at this time. He looked at Lucia on the left and Shayna on the right, trying to get the answer from them.

If Wai was an ordinary apprentice, no one would explain it to him. But now, Wai and the Black Earl are one, so when Wai looked over, Shayna did not hesitate and directly said what she guessed.

"He is a liar who is sensational and deceived everyone with words..."

Shayna told her guess slowly.

The man in the suit is most likely to use a verbal contract to make rules, but even if a general verbal contract makes rules, it does not have much binding force. But the man in the suit used the "Spirit of Words" to enhance the binding force of the verbal contract.

This achieved an effect that made it seem to outsiders that the man in the suit made the rules.

This was the first deception of the man in the suit. He deceived both the insiders and the outsiders. Using the "contract" as the core, he created a drama of "making rules".

However, in order to make this drama go on, the man in the suit had to make a second deception: deceive the elders of the tree and others into agreeing to the verbal contract.

A contract cannot be made without a contract.

And "contract" is a consensus that both parties must agree to, and "covenant" is a constraint under the consensus.

Even if it is a verbal contract, both parties must agree. A forest cannot be built by the man in a suit alone.

But if the elder tree and others saw through the man in a suit's plan, they would definitely not agree to sign the contract. So, the man in a suit started his second scam.

"This time, his scam mainly revolves around... Gaino." When talking about this, Shayna's face was a little ugly.

Wai: "Cheating Lord Zihuo? What do you mean?"

Shaina: "If I'm not wrong, the way to agree to a verbal contract is to point your finger at the challenging monster. The man in the suit said at the beginning that this is a battle between wizards and monsters, so the theme of the contract is battle, and How to start a battle is for the wizard to take the initiative to select the opponent and point at the monster, which is a standard opening action. This is also in line with the essence of the word spirit activation technique. "

"When Gaynor pointed at Desert Island Rikishi, the contract was automatically established, and that's how we are now."

When Shaina said this, Lucia suddenly said: "I would also like to add that the way to agree to the contract is not just to point to the monster. As long as someone participates in this battle, they will also be trapped in the contract. Elder Shu and Xingye The clan leader indirectly agreed to this contract because he took the initiative to join the battle... Am I right, Lord Black Earl?"

Shaina was stunned. Participating in the battle is considered a contract?

The Black Earl said calmly: "How did you see it?"

Although the Black Earl did not explicitly admit it, his words indirectly showed that Lucia's guess was correct.

Lucia: "Because you reminded me before..."

Shaina also thought about it at this time: "When Elder Shu and Chief Xingye participated in the battle, Lord Black Earl said, 'They fell into the trap,' did he mean that they also entered the contract?"

The Black Earl smiled and did not answer, but asked Vai: "Do you understand now?"

Vai nodded hesitantly, but then quickly shook his head.

"I probably understand it, but I still have a lot of doubts."

Black Earl: "What doubts?"

Vai did not express his doubts immediately, but first sorted out the whole thing from beginning to end.

To deceive Gaynor, it is definitely not just deceiving Gaynor to point his hand at the monster, but a "targeted" scam.

What is a “targeted” scam?

The man in the suit must understand Gaynor's character and know that Gaynor is very impulsive, so that he can set a targeted trap step by step.

Whether it was Gaynor's impulsive purple fire attack at the beginning, or the "no sound rule" later arranged, they all created an atmosphere for Gaynor's "angry personality", and in the end directly led to the Desert Island Warriors. The commonality with Asami Rikishi angered Gaynor, causing him to actively point at the monsters, and passively pulled the tree elders and star leaf clan leaders into the situation.

Judging from the results, it is actually not difficult to deduce the process. But there were still many things that puzzled Vai during the process.

How did the man in the suit know Gaynor's personality? If he planned to do this from the beginning, did he stay at the top of the registry just to lure Gaynor into the game?

Regarding this question, Shaina was silent for a moment and said: "Gaino's character is not a secret. Anyone who has had a little contact with it will know it... Of course, it is also possible that there is someone within us who is seeking an enemy."

As for whether it was to lure Gaynor into the game from the beginning, no one dares to give a definite answer to this question.

Vai continued: "In order for the man in the suit to make people believe that he could make the rules and lure Gaynor into the game, he did two things: the first thing was to rebound the purple fire attack; the second thing was to arrange A special realm of silence.”

"What I don't understand is how he can rebound the attack, and what is the sound-forbidden realm? If it were an ordinary sound-forbidden barrier, Elder Shu and Xingye Clan Chief would have been able to discover it."

Neither Shaina nor Lucia could give an answer to this question. They could only look at the Black Earl.

The Black Earl said lightly: "There are many rebound abilities. He most likely uses the 'Echo Reflection' in the Word Spirit. This rebound technique is very rare and requires special talents. As far as I know, there is only one in the Southern Territory. Rhine of Savage Cave can do it.”

The reason why the Black Earl knew the technique of 'Echo Reflection' was because he and Rhine were very familiar with each other. They were old friends for thousands of years and knew each other very well.

But others may not know.

It is precisely because this ability is rare and rare that Elder Shu and Xingye have never seen it before, which is normal.

"As for the ability to ban sounds, although many systems can do it, the leader among them is undoubtedly the Music Wizard. The Music Wizard can create a large area of ​​banned sounds without any fluctuations, without attracting anyone's attention. field."

Through Lucia's speculation, it is basically certain that the man in the suit is a wizard of the music system. Otherwise, he would not be able to use the spirit of speech so skillfully.

Since he is a music wizard, it is normal to create a forbidden sound field that does not attract attention.

Vai: "If you put it this way, it is reasonable. However, the more reasonable it is, the deeper I feel that his layout is deeper. From this point of view, his appearance here is not accidental, he is here to target Master Zihuo."

"Now it seems he has succeeded."

Through deception, he created an atmosphere and got Gaynor into the game. Because Gaynor entered the game, he also dragged Elder Shu and the Star Leaf Clan leader into the game.

This step after step was obviously planned by him.

Lucia: "Actually, that's not necessarily the case. It's also possible that we are overthinking..."

Lucia's words were a kind of comfort, but they did not comfort Shaina. Even Vai didn't agree with Lucia's words.

Vai: "Have we thought too much? We will find out after reading this. If even Elder Shu and Xingye Clan Chief can't deal with the man in the suit when they join the battle, then our guess is right."

Wasn't the man in the suit planning for so long just to draw them into the water and participate in this melee?

Moreover, in this melee, the man in the suit must have a great chance of winning.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted so much time.

Everyone looked at the battlefield again. After a while, even Lucia couldn't say a word of comfort.

This was simply... a crushing victory.

Not to mention the man in the suit, even the desert island warrior was difficult for the three to deal with.

The strength of the desert island warrior was extremely terrifying, and the power of the earth it displayed far exceeded everyone's imagination.

Among them, although the natural power of the tree elder restrained the power of the earth, his power level was too low and he couldn't break through the shell of the power of the earth at all.

In theory, Gainor's purple fire could restrain the desert island warrior. But what made Gainor vomit blood was... the desert island warrior could not only cover his whole body with hard rocks, but also turn the rocks into scorched earth.

When facing Gainor, the desert island warrior directly transformed into a "scorched earth warrior", and the effect of the fire power was halved. In addition, Geno's strength is not as good as that of the Desert Island Warrior, which leads to a sharp decrease in effective attacks.

Only the Star Leaf Chief can cause damage to the Desert Island Warrior, but it is still difficult for him to defeat the Desert Island Warrior alone.

This led to the fact that the Desert Island Warrior had an extremely huge advantage in this battle, and the crushing momentum was unstoppable.

Of course, the Tree Elder and the Star Leaf Chief also tried to attack the suit man.

But they had already signed a "contract" and had no way to attack the "referee".

They also tried to stay away from the Desert Island Warrior, but every time the distance was far, the suit man said lightly: "Exceeding the combat range is considered a violation. Violators will no longer be protected by the melee rules."

This sentence sounds like nothing, but don't forget that there is a crocodile-headed monster named Amit behind the suit man.

Once everyone is away, Amit will start chasing.

Amit's ability is not inferior to the Desert Island Warrior. Not only is he fast, but Amit can also split himself. With the cooperation of the Desert Island Warrior, it is not too easy to chase three people.

Three to one, it is difficult for them to win. One-on-one, even more crushing.

So, you can't run away, you can't fight, and the rules limit your external means. This is the situation on the battlefield.

It's even more miserable than Wai imagined.

Seeing this, Lucia no longer said "overthinking"... There is no doubt that the man in the suit set up a trap to lure them in, and his trap was successful.

According to this situation, it won't be long before the three elders of the tree will be severely damaged.

Seeing that the battle situation is getting worse and worse, Shayna thought of the whispers that the elder of the tree said to her before he left.

She was silent for a moment, and turned to look at the black earl.

"Lord Black Earl, I hope you can help us."

"Regarding the distribution of the garden maze ruins, we agree with your first plan..."
