"Minerva? Real or fake." Vivian looked at Nuo Ling in surprise.
This ancient god has not appeared for several eras. The traces she left in history only stay in the second era, and there will be no content after that.
In Wei Wei'an's understanding, this old god should be dead.
"Of course it is true, otherwise it would not be so natural for me to absorb the divine power from the piece of paper just now."
After finishing swallowing the parchment, Nuo Ling exhaled a breath of gray and turbid breath. The turbid breath weaved in the air, forming a blank piece of paper.
The smell of this paper is very similar to that of the parchment just now.
"I have a question to ask you. You said that the parchment just now was the fragment of the taboo item 017 'Contract'. So where is this 017 now?" Nuo Ling asked Vivian.
Even though he has absorbed several fragments of divinity, Nuo Ling's state at this time is still much worse than in his heyday in the Second Age.
In this broken page, Nuo Ling absorbed a lot of divine power.
Nuo Ling had a hunch that if he absorbed the entire 017, he would be able to recover almost half of his strength.
After Vivian saw Nuo Ling once again create a paper with a similar smell to the parchment just now, she was willing to believe it even if she didn't believe it.
She answered truthfully to Nuo Ling: "017 was originally supposed to be in the hands of the East China Sea Pirate King Qinglong, but since the last Four Seas Council, Qinglong seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with Adam, the fallen prophet, and 017 is now handed over to Adam. With Vlad’s hands.”
"The body of 017 is a blank book. Every page in the book has a separate contract effect. The two parties who signed the contract cannot violate the content of the agreement. Adam and Vlad used 017 to interact with Ouroboros. A cooperation agreement was signed.”
"Of course, 017 has also played a significant role in the advancement of the Eden Project, such as attracting forces and further providing reliable protection for Eden members."
"The number of pages on 017 is limited, and I only have this one. Vlad originally planned for me to cooperate with other pirate forces in the South China Sea, but I didn't use it, so I just used it on your side. "
Nuo Ling nodded, "Is that so? It seems that I have to prepare well."
Nuo Ling raised his finger slightly, and the dense contract rules suddenly appeared on the blank page in front of him.
“Both parties entering into a contract must jointly complete the contract objectives, share intelligence in real time, and must not conceal key information.”
"Both parties entering into the contract each perform their duties and must do their best to complete the part they are responsible for."
"Both parties entering into a contract must not violate the contract. Once violated, life-threatening consequences will result."
"According to the regulations I mentioned, please take a look at the contents of the contract written above. They are all written according to the rules you just mentioned. After confirming that there are no problems, you can take the initiative to put your name on the contract."
Vivian carefully looked at the contents marked on the contract paper, and after confirming that all the rules were very detailed and not biased, she nodded, "I have no problem."
As the main executor of the contract, Plisson also glanced at the contract compiled by Lingzi. After confirming that there was no problem, he also nodded.
The two parties went one after another and signed their names on the respective contract papers.
This name was signed voluntarily, which means that both parties recognized the terms of the contract, so the corresponding imprint of the contract will also be engraved deep in the souls of both parties.
This mark will remain until the purpose of the contract is completed.
After Vivian and Pleasant signed the contract, they repeatedly confirmed the specific details of the plan several times.
Pleasant gave the Nether Key to Vivian, and Vivian also gave her blood to Pleasant, establishing a blood connection with Pleasant so that he could remind Pleasant to absorb the ancestor's blood four days later. Pool of blood.
After talking about this, Vivian and Klein left the alchemy workshop.
In the alchemy workshop, several people except Plissen all focused on Nuo Ling.
In particular, Luojia, the chief scholar of the Secret Law Society, not only stared at Nuo Ling with two eyes, but the secret magic runes around her appeared actively, as if even her unfolded secret magic eyes were observing Nuo Ling.
"Why are you all looking at me like this? My divinity is incomplete now, and it is difficult for a saint to tolerate it." Nuo Ling looked at the people around him, and suddenly felt like a sheep falling into a wolf's den.
"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards your old god's identity, I'm just a little curious. After all, for so many years, except for the 'God of Chaos' and the alien Prince Isas, I really haven't had any serious dealings with the other old gods. I have dealt with the Eight Classics, let alone an old god who is as famous as the 'Pillar of Oath' in the history of the second era." Luojia looked at Nuo Ling with all his attention, his deep eyes full of desire for knowledge.
"Ah, am I famous in the history of the Second Age?" After Luojia said this, Nuo Ling was a little curious about how he would be evaluated in the eyes of future generations of humans.
"One of the original four pillars, even if it is not as good as the nine ancient gods born in the first era, it is still much more famous than the ordinary gods." Luojia spoke slowly, the secret runes floating around him As he opened his mouth, it slowly condensed in the air, eventually forming the shape of the contract lines.
This method stunned Nuo Ling and Plissen who were standing by.
"Secret magic, secret magic, we mystics explore the hidden corners and knowledge in history, borrow secret magic runes to imitate the divine power structure of the old gods, and thus establish one secret magic system after another."
"In short, the secret method is a means for humans to imitate the power of divine power through the arrangement and combination of secret method runes and various researches. Therefore, within our secret method society, we have additional knowledge about the secret history of the Second Age and the information about the old gods. interest of".
"As the chief bachelor of the Mystery Society, I am naturally one of the mystics who knows the old gods best. I also master several secret techniques related to the Pillar of Oath. For example, the pattern of the contract in front of me is an imitation of the pillar of oath. Built with the divine power of the pillar, it is a weakened version of the contract pattern and can only establish telepathic connections with other individuals."
Nuo Ling looked at the contract lines composed of secret runes floating in the air, and sighed in his heart that the construction of the secret technique was so magical.
"This secret technique is really magical. I don't know what kind of existence the sage who created the secret technique is."
Listening to Nuo Ling's sighing words, Luojia's expression changed slightly.
What kind of existence is the sage who created the secret method? This question is also what Luojia has been thinking about.
It's just that it's different from the thoughts of the Sage faction within the Secret Law Society. The Sage he thinks is not an omniscient and omnipotent god.
Secrets were created by people, and people continued to explore the hidden history and created secrets and spells with magical power one after another.
The sage who was the believer of the Mystery Society and who founded the original secret system should also be a human being, a mystic who was exploring the hidden history like them.
It was precisely because of this thought that she agreed to the invitation of Selemila and Klein to come here after the war in Beicanglan ended.
She wanted to find an answer from Joshua, the former chief maester who voluntarily left the Arcanum after meeting the Sage.
