Chapter 803: Chapter 619: Leap to the Future (Part 3)
He retrieved Yuanchan and looked at the Fire Technique Holy Domain surrounded by Igula, Harvey, and Black Crow.
In the blink of an eye, his companions were all dead or injured, leaving him alone to face three Holy Domains and a Black Crow. The highs and lows of life are truly exhilarating.
Moreover, running away was useless — Silver Lamp’s glance at him already made it clear. If he hid alone in the Dead City, he’d be waiting to follow in his companions’ footsteps, found by Silver Lamp, and made into fragments frozen in time.
Although he could always use the Holy Domain to escape death, utilizing the Holy Domain itself consumes Magic Power. Now, their Magic Power recovery speed is only 1/31536000 of the original, if the Fire Technique Holy Domain wanted to guard against thieves for a thousand days, he would eventually run out of Magic Power, becoming a lamb to be slaughtered.
The Fire Technique Holy Domain also realized he was doomed no matter what, and straightforwardly dispersed the Holy Domain, pulled out a piece of paper from his chest, and handed it over: “I actually vaguely felt there’s a hidden space in the Dead City, I can take you there.”
Harvey had Alice take the paper, glanced at it and showed a strange expression, then passed it to Igula.
Igula also raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise, “Senluo shouldn’t have this kind of Contract paper?”
“Got it from Dream Bubble Shadow.”
“Why didn’t you use this paper to enslave others, but instead write it as your own slave contract to take out anytime for survival?”
Indeed, the paper the Fire Technique Holy Domain took out was surprisingly his own slave contract, complete with his signature and mark. The clauses inside could be summarized into two: the Fire Technique Holy Domain will obey the master’s orders; the master must not intentionally lead the Fire Technique Holy Domain to death.
A Holy Sanctuary Mage actually carries something , making one wonder if he has some special inclination.
The Fire Technique Holy Domain’s expression was somewhat sullen; he looked at the Black Crow: “Have you recognized me?”
Black Crow said, “I have a bit of an impression, but I’m not sure — did you use to wear a helmet?”
The Fire Technique Holy Domain nodded and explained to them: “There used to be a team of Ya Sha Jin chasing my people within the Holy Temple’s range, so I stepped in and repelled them…”
“You almost burned Tanomu to death that time. She sustained severe burns all over and took half a year to recover.” Black Crow said calmly, “I used to be very angry, but now I just feel it’s a bit unfortunate.”
Igula pinched that Contract paper, half-smiling: “So you originally intended to hand this Contract over to Mercury Wooden Horse to get a living path in return?”
Now Ash and the others realized, the story of Mercury Wooden Horse is practically following the route of a revenge plot. The Ya Sha Jin faction isn’t welcomed by other sects in Senluo, and Mercury Wooden Horse had suffered many dangers because of this identity; now that she became the tactile sense of the Four Pillars God Sect, she has destroyed those sects that once offended her along the way. Those mighty figures who once acted almighty can only humbly beg for her forgiveness.
Ash then asked, “Have those two people also had any grudges with Mercury Wooden Horse or the Ya Sha Jin sect?”
The Fire Technique Holy Domain froze and then his face looked extremely ugly, gritting his teeth he said: “That Holy Sanctuary Mage who left early, actually never had any contact with Ya Sha Jin before…”
Black Crow was not surprised at all: “Tanomu surely holds grudges.”
A Holy Domain combat power for free, it’s better not to waste it, especially since he’s a former bishop of the Four Pillars God Sect. If he can leave the Dead City, he could certainly be exploited for more value.
Igula exchanged glances with the others, Ash shook his head first, eyes showing deep disgust — because of his twisted relationship with Hanna, he felt extremely abhorrent to this kind of relationship.
Black Crow was interested, but he was rejected by the Void Realm, he couldn’t be the main body for the Contract Miracle.
Igula actually had some interest, but seeing Ash’s deep disgust, he didn’t have further thoughts.
Harvey, however, suddenly thought of something and took the Contract paper. The Fire Technique Holy Domain’s eyes widened, watching Harvey place the Contract paper into Alice’s hands and teaching the Necromancer to sign the Contract hand-in-hand.
When the Contract paper turned into light smoke and solidified in the air, Harvey said: “Okay, from now on, you will be Alice’s coffin bearer; in the future, Alice’s coffin will be your responsibility. I actually don’t want Alice to always lie in the Space Card.”
Everyone had no objection to this — the Fire Technique Holy Domain was originally an enemy, and he just tried to assassinate Ash; letting Harvey knock him down a peg was more than reasonable.
The Fire Technique Holy Domain was furious: “I am the former bishop of the Tribulation Fire Holy Temple, a regional bishop of the Four Pillars God Sect, and a Fire Technique Holy Sanctuary Mage, yet I have to be a coffin bearer for a Necromancer? And you clearly have better transportation means, but just to give the Necromancer a better living experience, you’re making me do such menial work?”
“Good. As expected of my new master’s master!” He walked over with head held high and chest out, proudly lifting the coffin with a look of honor.
