Chapter 450: The Ritual of the Holy Judgment (I)

"Your Excellency Fangzheng is really too reckless."

Sitting in the auditorium, looking at the crowd in front of him, Astor frowned and sighed softly. In fact, when Lieutenant General John made this request, he knew that the situation was not good. But to Astor's surprise, Fang Zheng's reaction was faster than he imagined. Before he had time to interrupt the other party, Fang Zheng nodded in agreement.

"Hehe, don't be so anxious..."

Compared to Astor, Bishop Carl seemed very calm.

"I know Fang Zheng very well. He never does anything unprepared. I can be sure that since Your Excellency Fang Zheng has agreed to the other party's request, it means that he must be quite sure."

"That's what it says..."

Although he still felt a little uneasy, Astor still didn't say much, and just cast his eyes on the crowd in front of him.

In order to ensure the fairness of the "Rite of the Holy Order", the ceremony of the "Rite of the Holy Order" will be held in a special demiplane. This half-plane was created by the powerful existence of the Four Kingdoms using the power of arcane arts. Its essence is similar to the competitive plane that Fang Zheng once played in the White Tower, except that this half-plane is specially for the Holy Inquisitor. Those made by Zhiyi are generally not easy to open.

"It's so nostalgic."

While stroking his beard, Bishop Karl showed nostalgia.

"I remember that the last time I opened the Holy Judgment was twenty years ago..."

"At that time, it seemed that the lord of the Heavenly Sword Principality and the patriarch of the Moster family fought for a lady? Thinking about it now, I still find it interesting, especially when the lady they fought for finally fell into the arms of another woman... ...Well, now that I think about it, I think this is really too dramatic."

As if recalling the situation at that time, Bishop Carl couldn't help showing a bit of a smile on his face. That incident is quite famous in high-level circles. Two men fought to the death for a woman, but in the end they invited the woman to come on stage At the time, the other party said with a bewildered expression that I already had another sweetheart...

At that time, this incident made many people laugh out loud. You were so happy, didn't you even ask the Lord? How confident are you in yourself!

But this time, the situation is different.

At this moment, the crowd began to commotion, and then Lieutenant General John and the fat representative Cuaron walked out of it. They were smiling, full of confidence, and whispered to each other from time to time.

"It seems that the Kingdom of Flame and the Kingdom of Wealth are really well prepared this time."

Seeing Lieutenant General John's expression, Astor also looked gloomy, lowered his voice and said something to Bishop Karl, and Bishop Karl nodded slightly.

"Of course, it seems that they have planned it long ago. If His Excellency Fangzheng hadn't intervened, then these guys would have targeted us."

While the two were talking, Fang Zheng also came out from the other side. Like Lieutenant General John, he also had a slightly raised mouth and a smile on his face. The three of them walked to the center of the crowd in full view, and there stood a mage wearing a white robe. At this time, Bishop Carl tidied up his robe and came to the center of the crowd.

As the first step of the "Ritual of the Holy Judgment", they must first obtain permission before they can open the door to the holy arbitration field. Of course, before that, they must ensure that this is a fair and just duel.

"Your Excellency Fangzheng."

"Bishop Karl."

Seeing the old vampire bishop smiling at him, Fang Zheng also nodded at him. He had a good impression of the old bishop, but he didn't expect to meet him here, but think carefully, if the temple If you want to win over yourself, then it is not surprising that you will send people who are related to you to come here together.

"Then, let's begin the ceremony."

After watching the two greet each other, Douglas coughed and then spoke. Then, he looked at Lieutenant General John and Fatty's representative opposite.

"I, Douglas Wygate, on behalf of Leon, the kingdom of magic, agree to hold this sacred ceremony."

"I, Carl D. Quinn, on behalf of Seres, the Kingdom of the Holy Order, agree to the holding of this sacred ceremony."

"I, John Cliff, on behalf of Van Riel, the kingdom of flames, agree to the holding of this holy ceremony."

"I, Ante Domus, on behalf of Kalon, the country of wealth, agree to the holding of this sacred ceremony."

The representatives of the four countries finished their statement at the same time, then looked at Fang Zheng, and facing everyone's gaze, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.

"Before that, I need to confirm one thing."

"What's the matter? Your Excellency Fangzheng?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Lieutenant General John frowned slightly.

"You're not going to regret it, are you?"

"of course not."

Fangzheng waved his hand, and then he continued to speak.

"I would like to ask, I, the Kingdom of Flame and the Kingdom of Wealth are the ones participating in this sacred ceremony, right?"

"That's right."

Hearing this, the fatty representative of the country of wealth nodded.

"Then, there is one thing I need to confirm first. According to the rules of the Holy Judgment, the loser must meet the requirements of the winner. Then... if I fail, do I have to satisfy both the Kingdom of Flame and the Kingdom of Wealth?" The request of both parties?"

"This………"

Hearing this question, everyone was stunned for a moment, then they looked at each other, and had to say, this is really a question. You must know that the original proposal of the "Holy Judgment" of the Kingdom of Flame and the Kingdom of Wealth was prepared for the Kingdom of the Holy Religion and the Kingdom of Magic. So on this issue, they didn't think too much about it, but when Fang Zheng reminded them, they realized that there was still such a problem.

"Then what's your opinion, Your Excellency Fangzheng?"

Douglas looked at Fang Zheng with a grin. Obviously, he was planning to be a melon-eating crowd beside him. As for Fang Zheng, he spread his hands.

"It's very simple. If I lose, then I will grant one wish from the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wealth at the same time. But conversely, if I win, then I will ask the Kingdom of Flame and the Kingdom of Wealth to grant me one wish each." ...I think that's a very fair and reasonable request."

"This………"

Hearing this, Lieutenant General John and Fatty's representative changed their expressions slightly. They looked at each other, and each could see the uneasiness deep in the other's heart. None of the people present were fools, and of course they understood why Fangzheng made such a suggestion—on the surface, this was quite detrimental to Fangzheng, but on the other hand, it also showed that Fangzheng was absolutely sure that he would win, otherwise , it is impossible for him to make such a request that does not seem to be of any benefit to him.

But... what to do?

Bishop Carl and Master Douglas silently entered the theater mode. If this request was made by Lieutenant General John, then they would definitely object, but since it was proposed by Fang Zheng, they would not be there At this time, dismantle your own desk. Now let's see what choice Lieutenant General John and the others will make.

"...we agree with the proposal."

In the end, after discussing with his companions for a while, Lieutenant General John gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement with Fang Zheng's proposal. Although he was also very disturbed in his heart, Lieutenant General John felt relieved when he thought of the trump card prepared by himself and the country of wealth.

Even if they accidentally lose the team competition, as long as they win the individual competition, the two sides will be considered a tie and the bet will be void. But if they win the team competition and the individual competition, then they can get double the compensation!

As for losing? impossible!

Thinking of the ace in his hand, Lieutenant General John also had a smile on his face.

That's right, it is absolutely impossible to lose!

"very good."

Upon hearing Lieutenant General John's answer, Fang Zheng nodded with a playful smile.

"Then... I, Fang Zheng, on behalf of the Heavenly Dao Palace, agree to hold this sacred ceremony."
