Chapter 2444: Contract with Light

Chapter 2445 Contract with Light

The black-haired coroner's eyes moved towards the card surface:

"This is the reward I promised you when I invited you to solve this matter. Without you this time, I'm afraid things will be more troublesome. I don't want [Eternal Light] to easily provoke [Gray Gloves] or [MI6] ], let alone provoke them at the same time.”

Standing under the bridge, he looked at the river flowing towards the southern ocean:

"[Eternal Light] is still very weak now. I can neither let it get involved with a big organization like [Light Worshipers Training Society] nor cause trouble in the world."

"Then do you see that there is something weird about this card?"

Shade asked again, and Mr. Albert smiled:

"Of course I can. Everyone has their own light. I can clearly see it at close range. For example, the moonlight on you is so pure and charming. The chosen one Iluna... Bayas's body was covered with the blazing sun's rays.

The light of objects is weaker than that of living things, but I can also see some. And with this card placed in front of me, my sight can even directly see the tide of spirits and elements dispersed in the world.

A coveted target for so many diviners and high level warlocks, for me it was just a matter of picking up this card. "

A few chosen ones can get special abilities from the "All Things Impermanent Card", such as Joey Barton. What he and Mr. Albert have in common seems to be that they both had wonderful experiences in the New World.

"Then why don't you keep it?"

Shade asked again, and Ptolemy Albert shook his head:

"If I say that I want to use this card to exchange for you, the God Caller, to become my friend, do you agree?"

"we are already friends."

"No, you regard me as a friend only because of Armand's existence. You and him are the so-called true friends. Our relationship is indeed friendly enough, but it is still not enough. Mr. Watson, do you want to talk to me about the Chosen One? Is that right?"

Shade glanced at him, and then looked at the Taton River flowing in the fog. There is a shoal under the bridge, and there are still ships preparing to enter the sea on the wide river. At a glance, the lights on the large ship in the distance looked like the eyes of a sea beast.

"Yes."

Shade nodded:

"The divine descending ceremony of the [Dragon Feast Order] is coming soon. Even if I am the so-called 'god caller' this time, I am not confident that I can defeat that god. Mr. Albert, I won't beat around the bush - I will be the Dragon Feast priest." The field appears again, are you ready to face your fate? The evil god is trying to gain the power of the ancient god, but the power of the ancient god should also be able to defeat him."

After sighing, the coroner asked Shade:

"Did you know that I encountered strange things in the New World?"

It didn't seem like he was deliberately changing the subject, so Shade nodded:

"I have investigated your past through other channels, and I would like to apologize to you here. Yes, I know that during your service in the New World, you encountered a dragon in the dense forest of the valley."

"That's not a dragon."

The middle-aged vampire's voice suddenly became very soft. Even if Shade was right next to him, he had to pay close attention to hear:

“It was a light and to this day I can’t describe the experience.

A beam of light that has been traveling through the material world since time immemorial hit us that day. Many of my colleagues melted into the light on the spot. I was also within the attack range, but I was strangely not assimilated by the light. "

This should be the so-called "adventure". The outsider was looking forward to this when he first came to this world, but later he stopped looking forward to it, because his adventure was behind him.

【Thanks. 】

"She" said softly.

"That ancient light was integrated into my body. It existed in the material world for too long, and the information recorded in it turned into a pure spirit and became a part of me. As a result, I gained strength, discovered my talents, and knew About the chosen one.”

He smiled:

"When I first met Armand when I was young, I was not a fortune teller. It was that incident that allowed me to see the context of history and destiny, and that made me become a fortune teller. So, I lied to you, Armand did not. You, he doesn’t know that I am a fortune teller.”

"The unknowable relic [The Diamond of Hope] is in your hands?"

Shade asked again, and Mr. Albert nodded:

"I understand the Chosen Ceremony and the Whispering Cantos. Mr. Watson, you don't need to explain these to me. But before I agree, can you answer me a question?"

"Of course, please."

"Would you sacrifice yourself if necessary?"

Shade was startled. Not long ago, the guardian also asked this question under the tree of the Forgotten Church in Randall Valley.

This time Shade's answer was still the same:

"No, I don't live alone. There are people who need me. I can't die like this."

He knew this wasn't the right answer, but outsiders didn't like to lie to such questions.

Ptolemy Albert looked at the Taton River in the fog in trance:

"But what if the dispensation of justice requires your sacrifice?"

Shade shook his head:

"I never think that I am righteous, Mr. Albert. I only do what I want to do. I don't believe in the nonsense that with great power comes great responsibility."

"But it seems to me that you just don't want to bear the pressure of the word 'justice.'"

He finally looked at Shade again. The vampire's special eyes looked directly into Shade's eyes. The middle-aged man was very serious at this moment:

"【Eternal Light】 also needs me. Do you know what your invitation means to me?"

"Of course I know. You have to complete the trial at the scene of the God's Descent Ceremony, hold the ceremony of the ancient god, and then face an evil god. Yes, it's very dangerous."

The coroner nodded gently:

"Then do you think I should agree to you?"

This time Shade finally did not answer immediately. He was unwilling to sacrifice himself, and naturally could not force others to sacrifice themselves:

"I don't know."

"Well, let's make a contract. No, not the kind of contract you and Marquis Mossen have, but my contract."

The six-ring life ring behind him slowly emerged. This close contact allowed Shade to see Ptolemy Albert's four core spirit runes clearly: Enlightenment【Blood】, Enlightenment【Thorns】, Enlightenment【Newborn Light】, Enlightenment【Monster】.

As the core spirit rune - [First Light] lit up, his hand also lit up with a faint light.

It was not the special light diffused in the fog, nor was it the four-color spiritual light. It was the purest and most primitive light. Just by looking at this light, Shade almost felt that his skin had a tendency to transform into the form of light.

He held his hand up, and "she" beside his ear gently reminded him:

[Stranger, you have touched the first era light left by the ancient god "Dragon of Shining Light", and you have felt a miracle. ]

[Stranger, your magic "Ancient Sound" is triggered:]

[In the first era, the ancient dragon god used his own scales, the first light, the courage of mortals, the violence of the first fire and the hope for a new world to create the world's first dragon. He hoped that his eldest son would help him sort out the light of the world and manage the dragon clan, but the eldest son eventually went astray because of his greed for power and was deprived of "light" and name by the dragon god. This is the "nameless eldest son". 】

"So, Mr. Albert's beam of light is"

[It's just one of the thousands of rays of light. 】

[Outsider, you have come into contact with the power of the ancient gods. Are you willing to make a pact with the chosen one in the name of the light of the God of Light? 】

Ptolemy Albert, who was shaking hands with Shade, asked seriously:

"What is your real name in the name of light?"

Most contract abilities require real names, so Shade was not surprised:

"Shade Sulen Hamilton."

The coroner was startled, he obviously knew this name. Even though it was a very serious occasion, he still asked:

"What? Hamilton? You are the one from Tobesk, sorry, this is really... ahem, in the name of light, Shad Hamilton, are you willing to make a promise with me:

If I, Ptolemy Justice Albert, become the chosen one and sacrifice in the Battle of Moon Bay, you will give up part of your power and merge into the [Eternal Light];

If you, Shad Sulen Hamilton, sacrifice in the Battle of Moon Bay for protecting, I will give part of my own light to your closest person;

If we both survive the next war, we will exchange the power we need most."

Shad raised his eyebrows and easily understood his intention:

"You are interested in my moonlight? You want to use your participation in the war to exchange for my moonlight?"

"I just want one of the rays of light. This is not a disadvantage for you, after all, I am taking out the light of the ancient gods."

The coroner replied, and while Shad was hesitating, "she" in his ear said:

[Promise him. 】

"Okay, I agree to this agreement."

Then the ancient light in Mr. Albert's hand wrapped around Shade's hand. The ancient light only partially merged into Shade's body, making him feel that his strength had been slightly improved.

When this simple but unbreakable agreement ended, Xia De asked curiously:

"What is Eternal Light? I thought it was just the name of the organization."

"After I met the [Eternal Light] organization in Yuewan, it was a new name for the light I held. If I die, the light I met in the New World will leave again. Although the ancient God of Justice has left, His light is still running in the world, and I will not be the last person chosen by the light. Just like justice lasts forever, we just don't notice it."

The coroner drew the holy emblem of the ancient god on his chest very piously, and Xia De didn't dwell on this:

"So how much do you know about the Chosen Ceremony now? I mean the content of the ceremony?"

"The location is [Dragon Feast Sacrifice Field], and the content of the ceremony is to draw the sword, or to say, to forge the sword. This requires five ancient relics and the seven dragon scales passed down by the seven local families. No, this is not the reason why I chose to stay in Yuewan after retiring and returning to the Old World. When I came here, the light had not given me this knowledge."
