Chapter 157 Ten Covenants
Hearing Jessica's question, Feng Xue didn't play any tricks, but nodded:

"It is undeniable that there are always some guys with language talents in this world. In this team, there happens to be such a genius. During his labor career, he has mastered most of the languages ​​​​used by laborers, and Through storytelling, I established a good relationship with them—you should be able to imagine how valuable a person who can communicate and tell stories is in an environment where you work hard every day."

Jessica nodded when she heard the words. Having played Survival in the Wilderness, she knows exactly how important a person who can chat is in an extreme environment.

"So, what's the use of that metal plate?" Jessica was very interested in such legendary stories, so she naturally became a joker. Feng Xue didn't act as a riddle, and gave the answer directly:
"This language genius was born in a merchant family from the Yan Kingdom, but because of the times, his family fell into poverty and he himself became a laborer, but this does not change the fact that he is educated.

"Relying on guesswork, he understood the ancient Yan language on the metal plate. Although he was dubious, he, who had been reduced to a laborer, took the risk to hide the metal plate with his teammates. And this hidden one The sheet metal is actually a contract."

"Contract?!" Hearing this word, Jessica almost instantly thought of the legendary devil's contract, and then looked at Mr. "Deal" who didn't admit that he was a devil, with a look of "I gradually understand everything" expression.

"Well, the contract, it is impossible to determine exactly when it came from. It can only be confirmed that it is a contract of the 'executor'. According to the contract, this contract is an appendage of a certain code, in order to maintain morality and law. The balance exists to make up for the loopholes that may exist in the law, and the person who signs the contract will gain great power, but he must also abide by the terms of the contract and strive to maintain the balance between law and morality."

"That is to say, what is placed on the other side of the balance is not gold bars, but the law? Or, legal documents?" Jessica's focus is obviously a bit skewed, but Feng Xue shook her head:
"On the box that originally contained this contract, the balance is indeed a heart and a document, representing conscience and law, but this coin is not like this, because there is a certain difference between the philosophy of this team and the contract."

Feng Xue tapped the table with her index finger, and Jessica realized that she had interrupted "The Bard's Epic", and immediately fell silent, while Feng Xue continued to tell the story——

"After the young man hid the metal plate, he began to translate and research hard. Fortunately, the civilization of the Yan Kingdom has not been broken down. There are still many similarities between the ancient characters and the traditional characters of the modern period. When he deciphered the above After reading the content, he learned that the core of this contract is only three points: "maintaining balance", "maintaining justice", and "based on morality". On the basis of not violating these three points, the contractor can write The power you want, and the contract will also generate new terms based on the power.

"He told the contents of the contract to his teammates, and everyone just regarded it as a story similar to a wishing magic lamp, but even so, in an environment where nothing but work is work, they couldn't help but imagine that if the contract was real , What kind of power should the executioner have.

"At the very beginning, everyone's discussions were topics like 'a certain hero or knight in the history of our country may be the executioner', but later on, everyone couldn't help but start to fantasize about what they would like if they were the executioner. Such power.

"Some people say that it should be like the legendary chivalrous man who kills a man in ten steps and never stays behind for thousands of miles; Only in this way can we act chivalrously every day without having to think about our own life problems...

"Later, the young man summed up everyone's thoughts, and wrote them on the back of the metal plate with carbon strips, and when he saw the guards with guns, he added the last one - to be able to not be afraid of guns. gun.

"However, as the writing continued, the language genius discovered the problem. Although the metal plate was very small and the carbon strip was very thick, there was no obstacle in his writing. It was even as if the metal plate could never finish writing. No matter how many entries he writes, there's still a lot of room left..."

"It sounds like the handwriting input of a smart phone..." Jessica couldn't help muttering, and then said:

"So he found out that the contract was real and became the executioner?"

"To be precise, they became the executioners." Feng Xue corrected Jessica's guess, "When all the expectations were written, the black characters made of carbon strips began to disappear slowly, and then transformed into the words used by the language genius. The 'Traditional Yanwen', in addition to the first three, there are a total of seven contracts."

"Seven..." Jessica immediately picked up the pen when she heard the words. Although she had a recording pen, she still wanted to record it all by herself.

"First, the executioner must hide his identity in exchange for a means of collecting interest.

"Second, the executioner must not injure the innocent in exchange for skill in killing.

"Third, the murder of the executioner must come from a commission, in exchange for endless wealth.

"Fourth, the commission accepted by the executioner must be fair (homogeneous revenge), in exchange for the support of mortals (will not be reported by witnesses who have no interest in it).

"Fifth, the executioner must conduct a careful investigation before acting to confirm the authenticity of the entrustment, in exchange for the ability to distinguish right from wrong.

"Sixth, the executioner must act alone, in exchange for the physical strength of a thousand enemies.

"Seventh, the executioner must not use firearms as weapons in exchange for the protection of being free from fear of flying arrows.

"The above seven items, plus the three items that must maintain the balance between law and morality, must maintain justice, and must comply with moral standards, make a total of ten items, which were later called the 'Ten Covenants' by the Libra organization."

……

Jessica put down the ten contracts on the paper, and a strong sense of déjà vu emerged in her mind. She couldn't help but cast her gaze on Feng Xue, but thinking of the clause "the identity must be concealed" in the contract, she still suppressed this question. Go down, just say:

"and then?"

"Then? Then this team realized that the contract is a real supernatural power, and then signed the contract according to the translation method of the language genius, and escaped from the ruins relying on the magical power given by the contract, and then borrowed endless wealth and powerful power Founded the Libra organization, they pursue the homogeneous revenge concept of 'eye for an eye, blood for blood' to bring justice to those who cannot obtain justice through the law."

"Don't write off the best part!"

 Coins are quite important, but I can’t write this chapter if I explain them in detail, so I just created a single chapter to introduce this thing later, don’t worry, it’s free
