Chapter 1502 Sacred Contract

"Then what does the emperor want?" Mandy raised her eyebrows, "It seems that the emperor is at a disadvantage in this contract, giving Lin Nian and Elena the right to unchain them in vain, just so that they can have a better relationship with him. Against?"

"The emperor has never been kind-hearted. If you are mocking Lin Nian for being a sophisticated altruist, then the emperor is an outright egoist, an extreme egoist that can't even be acted out. His purpose in doing anything is only for his lofty ideals. Ideals, every action, every breath, every punctuation in every sentence is paving the way for His ideals.”

The woman said lightly, "When the chains are completely untied, it will be when the emperor's ideal reaches the final step. You should be clear about this. In other words, the chains on Lin Nian's body are a countdown. When all the chains are broken, At that time, the emperor stood at the door of his ultimate goal, which was also the ultimate goal of signing this contract. "

"What if Lin Nian's chains are never untied? Then won't the emperor be unable to achieve his goal for the rest of his life?" Mandy asked with narrowed eyes.

"This is the core point of this contract." The woman said quietly, "Yelena wants Lin Nian to become stronger and herself to become stronger, then she needs power. In addition to the thrones of the four monarchs, Only the emperor has this power, so she chooses to sign a contract with the emperor. The price is that the time to unchain is forced into the emperor's hands. "

"The emperor signed a contract with Su Xiaoqiang. Due to Su Xiaoqiang's weakness and the psychological loopholes that have been designed long ago, a quarter of the exchange basically counts as when he wants to exchange, he can induce Su Xiaoqiang to agree." The woman. He gently kneaded the fragile cherry with his fingers, his eyes flat,

"Until enough power can be transferred to make Lin Nian and Yelena eligible to unlock the chains, the emperor simply does not dare to create a dangerous situation that can force Lin Nian to the cliff of death. Once this contract is reached, Lin Nian will When he was forced into danger, he would give up his power, and the breaking of the chains would become inevitable. He could then make plans unscrupulously, create dangers and conflicts, and completely control the rhythm and time of the breaking of those chains. . The initiative in the development of all things falls into His hands, He decides when the drama will begin, and He decides when the drama will end.”

"Yelena does want Lin Nian to break the chains and gain strength, but she doesn't want the process to be too fast, because she is not ready to face the emperor. After the four chains are broken, it will be her decisive battle with the emperor. , if that moment comes too soon, then the outcome will naturally be obvious.”

The woman poured water into the cup for the fourth time. The grapes rolled out of the cup along with the overflowing water, fell on the table, and also fell in the shadow at the feet of Apple. "She needed strength, but she couldn't let this The power came too quickly, so signing that contract also meant that she was betting against the emperor. "

"In order to gain the power to protect herself, she handed over the initiative of the overall situation to the enemy. What was she thinking?" Mandy frowned.

The woman retracted her hand and whispered, "Yelena is a very dangerous gambler. She is a madman with infinite desires brought about by her extreme greed for power. She can sacrifice everything for power. Maybe this deal seems to her It's worth it. As long as she can temporarily regain her power, she can completely accept the sacrifice of Su Xiaoqiang and the temporary initiative. "

"Or maybe she has calculated more things that you and I don't know yet?" Mandy asked in a low voice.

"Let's not talk about it anymore." The woman said lightly, "I have never looked down on her. After all, after the emperor, she is the most dangerous snake, but she has been covering it up with her rash and exaggerated acting skills. She’s vicious and dirty.”

"I can understand what you said, but what does this have to do with the price the emperor paid after this defeat?" Mandy did not forget the direction of their topic from the beginning.

"Have you ever thought about why Su Xiaoqiang needs to pay a quarter of the value for every exchange." The woman asked.

"I have thought about it, but there is no answer. Contracts are too mysterious for ordinary people like us." Mandy shook her head, "Is it the emperor's bad taste? Just want to torment that girl who is pushing her limits?"

"The word "excessive" is your malice and prejudice against her, right?" the woman said with a wry smile.

Mandy pouted and said she wasn't jealous, but the occasional spontaneous targeting betrayed her true thoughts in her heart.

"Throughout the ages, contracts of design power and power have a common nature." The woman said, "Whatever you want to gain, you have to lose."

"Newton's third law? What must be given up to gain something." Mandy is no stranger to this principle.

"The truth is often shared." The woman nodded, "Through the contract, the emperor has given this supreme power, so the other party in this contract always needs to pay something. This is the key to reaching the contract - not verbal The contract is a real contract with sacred meaning that is beyond the blood contract. It has no real form, but it really exists there, and it follows a set of truths quite rigidly, and 'you get what you pay'. It coincides with 'what goes up is what goes down', which is one of the unchangeable rules."

"The contract is sacred. The higher the status, the more important the contract is. Once violated, a heavy price must be paid. Yelena can only believe in transactions with the emperor under the witness of this contract. She is better than anyone else. He is jealous and afraid of the emperor, so he is cautious in everything involving the emperor," the woman said.

"In this contract, in the concept of 'you get what you pay', Su Xiaoqiang exists as the lamb who pays the price on Lin Nian's behalf. After all, Yelena doesn't want to bear the price. She just wants to get the power, the 'time' and the unchained The transfer of the 'initiative' is the biggest price she can bear. Maybe this is the truth of the contract. She seems to have paid such a price, but in general, she wants to let this go. The sacred contract has validity, so the part of giving is indispensable.”

"A quarter of the price is exchanged for a chain from Lin Nian. This is an asymmetric transaction no matter how you look at it." Mandy frowned.

"What do you think of the asymmetry?" the woman looked at Mandy and asked.

"Isn't it right for a quarter of an ordinary person to exchange for a terrifying power that is enough to kill the King of Bronze and Fire?" Mandy said in confusion.

"You can't look at it that way." The woman shook her head, "In the end, the right to unlock the chains is still given by the emperor. This is the underlying fact, and the true meaning of the gains and losses in this contract is: you give what you truly value, what is precious To get something equally precious and precious, I ask you, is your own health important to a normal person?”

"Important." Mandy nodded without hesitation.

She often sees mini-games like choose 3 from 5 or choose 6 from 10 on the forum. You can only choose a limited number of options, such as hundreds of millions, or a lover who will not betray you, and admission notices from prestigious universities. Books and so on, but if you choose these, you will inevitably give up other things you did not choose, such as parents who love you, friends who are sincere to you, your health and so on.

What’s very interesting is that in almost all such choice games, as long as there is an option of physical health, almost everyone must choose it, because everyone understands the truth that health is priceless, and you must first have a healthy body. Go enjoy everything you get.

"It goes without saying how important health is to a person. In the sacred contract, Su Xiaoqiang paid for this health. For her, the weight of this price is unparalleled, so it can exactly offset what the emperor has given her. The right, and that right also happens to cut off the chain that symbolizes the "Baqi". Health in exchange for health, it is a worthwhile transaction. "

The woman explained it this way, and Mandy finally understood the truth behind it. The reason why the contract is sacred is that what it really values ​​​​is "loss and gain" itself, not what is lost as much as what is gained. Simple things.

Su Xiaoqiang embraced the consciousness of losing his health, in exchange for the infinitely healthy Baqi gift to Lin Nian.

The emperor held the consciousness of losing that power in exchange for the initiative to control the next overall situation.

Yelena lost the initiative in the future and gained the right to break the chain of Baqi.

Lin Nian gained the powerful power of Baqi, but the person he tried his best to protect lost his health.

Everyone has gains and losses in this contract, and what they gain and what they lose are equally important to themselves.

"In the same way, now that you have understood the operating logic of this contract, you can naturally think of another reason." The woman said slowly, "In this exchange, Su Xiaoqiang still lost a quarter of the value, and The quarter she lost will only mean more to her than her health, or even more. And the most important thing is that this exchange was not of her own free will!"

"If we follow the normal contract process, Su Xiaoqiang should have taken the initiative to exchange a quarter, and then the emperor would pay that share, so that the giving and receiving in the sacred contract would be balanced. But in the Nibelung, it was the emperor who forced her to In exchange, the power was given to Lin Nian. In this way, the whole concept was turned upside down - a quarter of Su Xiaoqiang's forced payment became the emperor's 'get', so there were still other needs in this sacred contract. A "loss" that is enough to match the value of a quarter is balanced, and as the original sin of breaking the contract, the emperor will naturally bear the brunt of this "loss."

The emperor received a quarter of the exchange forced by Su Xiaoqiang, thereby losing something as important as that quarter.

"Enough to match a 'loss' worth more than a quarter of health." Mandy was a little stunned. She could not imagine what price the emperor paid for this.

"We'll see," the woman said with a low smile.

"Reveal a little, just reveal a little." Mandy pinched a small gap with her fingers, "Let me feel happy one last time. I at least know what kind of big thing I have done!"

The woman had a headache when she saw Mandy begging, and finally sighed, "I can only tell you that there is nothing more to say about His power to observe the branches of the world. It will affect my next plan. After all, You are not a fuel-efficient person either!”

"My loyalty to you is astonishing! There is no second intention!" Mandy raised four fingers and swore, "As long as boss you promise to give me one day a week to dream and experience the life of raising a daughter after marriage, I will Promise me to sell you my whole body, and I will never complain if you treat me like a cow or a horse in the future!”

"Let's talk about this later." The woman smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Wow, don't people even dream about it? This kind of thing is easy for you now, right?"

"I'm not looking for you just to make you dream. I'm just looking for you to happen to be in the sensing range of the mental 'cocoon'. By the way, I will arrange the subsequent work for you. Don't think too much of me."

"Isn't it awesome to be able to scheme against the emperor? This is like a heifer flying on a plane, so awesome!"

“.”

Mandy, laughing, turned her head and glanced at the speechless woman, and a deep fear passed through her. After understanding everything, she realized how long and how deep the seemingly complicated but actually more profound situation had lasted.

If we really count the past, the foreshadowing of the emperor's loss must have been buried in the contract during the Battle of Constantine. From the moment the contract was signed, the plan in the mind of this woman who witnessed everything was probably formed, right?

It was not until the document at the South Railway Station fell into Lin Nian's hands, leading to Lu Mingfei's "mistaken" entry into the doomsday world line on the eve of the hearing, to the Nibelungen's plan, that the secret implementation was linked one by one, and finally the emperor fell hard. Now that the emperor has suffered such a big loss and suffered a heavy blow, wouldn't her layout and plan be more handy after that?

Following the right person.

Such a thought flashed through Mandy's mind, but what emerged immediately afterwards was some deep fear.

Following the other party, she certainly has a good chance of being on the winning side, but who knows whether there is a place for her in the final victory, rather than the ending where this woman dominates the whole picture alone?

This thought was only fleeting, and Mandy didn't even dare to show the slightest bit of it, for fear of being noticed by the woman.

ps: You think I've canceled, but I haven't
