Chapter 115 Force Majeure Factors (Merge chapters, please update!)

In the reception room, Trina was sitting there, looking around boredly, her eyes were constantly vigilantly passing the only way to and from here.

The servants around didn't pay much attention to it, but occasionally some less-informed ones were surprised by the elf features that were inadvertently revealed.

Some people also faintly feel that there are scales between the elf's neck, which may be the existence of a mixed-race dragon warlock or something.

"I said why the magpies are chirping in the morning. It turns out that some distinguished guests came to the door. Sister Cuihua, I finally saw your real body."

Soon after, Roland's figure appeared in Trina's field of vision, and the voice had arrived before the person arrived.

"Little brother Roland, I miss you too."

Trina also smiled and stood up.

The two cherished each other, and couldn't help it, they got closer and looked at each other, even the servants around seemed to feel each other's enthusiasm, which was as hot as a bonfire lit at night.

"Go down first." Roland instructed the servants serving beside him.

Trina couldn't wait to say: "Little brother, I have come to pay the deposit as agreed, can you let me take a look at the ring first? If it is convenient, please show its function."

"No problem, from yesterday to now, it is enough for it to recover its energy." Roland said readily.

He raised his left hand and pointed his middle finger at Trina, showing the shape of the ring generously.

When Trina saw it, her eyes lit up.

"This is the ring!"

As she spoke, she still wanted to come forward to touch her, but Roland quickly withdrew her middle finger.

"Look, I'm going to transform!"

After a reminder, Roland silently recited the spell to activate the ring in a low voice.

This kind of prop casting is essentially using specific commands as the key to stimulate energy, and it pays attention to the command spells in cryptography.

So it's generally shorter than normal mana casting spells.

After guiding with a few simple syllables, Roland's body was shrouded in golden light, his shape changed, and he became a young golden dragon standing more than two meters tall.

After Cuina saw it, she couldn't help being taken aback, but then said with a smile: "Little brother, I didn't expect you to be so handsome!"

There is definitely something wrong with this person's aesthetics...

No, she looks like a dragon!

Ah, that's all right, I have a unique vision and great taste!
Roland specially reminded: "Sister, you are very impressed, after this ring is activated, it will change like this.

Generally speaking, Transfiguration will determine the final form according to the characteristics of the user's own soul, but I don't know if you will bring some characteristics of the green dragon after you use it. "

"You don't need to worry about that." Trina said with a smile, "Anyway, I only need the transformation function."

After a while, Roland canceled the transformation and had a serious talk with Trina.

Although Trina had a keen eye for treasures, but thinking that she would get it sooner or later, she endured it.

She asked Roland: "What form do you want to pay for the reserved 1 gold coins?"

"Gems, the value of gems is relatively stable and easy to carry." Roland said.

Trina immediately took out a few gems from her pocket.

"This jasper opal is worth about 1300 gold coins, the life stone is worth about 1000 gold coins, and the flawless green diamond is worth about 800 gold coins..."

"My sister is quite rich!" Roland's eyes lit up. This green dragon definitely has a mine at home.

"It's not rich, it's not rich, all the belongings I've saved all my life are here." Trina was extremely vigilant, "I will spend a lot of effort to raise 4 gold coins later."

Having said that, she continued to dig out the gems, and in a short while accumulated a pile on the table.

The jewels are dazzling, and Roland's heart itch to see them. In the end, he chose 10 gems worth about 1000 gold coins based on the principle of convenience and ease of use.

This is for the convenience of fulfilling or casting "Limited Wishes".

"Why are you so picky?" Trina couldn't help muttering.

"I don't know if my sister has heard that some high-ranking adventurers will exchange their property for gold rings or big gold chains. Then we mages will inevitably cast spells or fight. It is reasonable to exchange some moderately priced gems."

"Little brother, it's really funny." Trina couldn't help giggling coquettishly, "But I basically agree with what you said, to tell you the truth, I used to exchange some gold bars, each one pound, worth 50 gold coins, and There are ten-pound bars of gold or one-pound bars of platinum and mithril, worth five hundred ducats."

"Good thing, my sister is really thoughtful!" Roland raised his thumb and praised, "I will also get some gem rings or mithril ingots as spares later."

This is an old world.

If any dragon slaying team came to her lair, they would definitely cry without tears.

Because there is probably nothing left in that kind of place except for a few mushrooms or moss.

It's hard to say whether she even has a lair, because since modernization, the living habits of dragons have also undergone earth-shaking changes, and many of them have kept pace with the times and changed customs.

After the transaction was completed, Roland personally sent Trina out of the door, waved her goodbye, and then returned to the manor to contact the teacher by email.

"The transfiguration technique of the other party is very good, and what is transformed is the form of a female elf.

The adventurer's costume on her doesn't seem to be anything unusual, but the cloak should be a top-quality piece of equipment, and sometimes its existence is unknowingly ignored.

There is no way to judge the professional level, but according to the usual calculation, it should be level 13~14, which is equivalent to the combat ability of a high-level mage. "

"Well, it is generally believed that the strength of the dragon clan is superb, far superior to ordinary creatures. At least a team of high-level mages with an average level of the corresponding level can be defeated. It is best to match other professionals, such as warrior priests, but even so, Still very dangerous..."

After discussing with Orvisto, Roland finally came to the conclusion that reckless fighting is not realistic.

Unless an opportunity can be found, it is possible to deal with her with the Archmage or even the Legendary Mage himself.

But the origin of this Cuina is unknown, and the equipment on her body looks quite extraordinary, so it is very likely that she can sniff out something wrong in advance and escape in time.

It would be even more troublesome if there were any legendary creatures behind her, or even the Mother of Dragons, whom all five-color dragons believed in.

And now that Roland is restricted by the contract, if he really contributed to the hunting, he still has to bear the responsibility for breach of contract.

I can only think of other ways.

……

Two days passed quickly, and it was the 20th, the scheduled return date for Roland and others.

Trina came to the door again.

"Can you raise enough money so quickly to prevent me from calling someone or running away?"

Roland realized that with the vigilance and meticulousness of the other party, he must have watched around the manor many times, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he suddenly came to the door.

With this pressing step by step, there is really a feeling that there is no way to escape.

Because I signed the transaction contract and received a deposit, I have to fulfill the obligation to complete the transaction, so I quickly teleported to a distant place with a circle, or hid myself so that people can't find it, all of which are subjective escapes.

But to say it's really unsolvable, that's not necessarily the case.

In the past two days, although he has not been able to contact the dragon slaying team, it is definitely not doing nothing.

Immediately cast the screen, sent a message to Orvisto, and then waited leisurely on the spot.

After a while, Roland's body trembled suddenly, and he felt a surge of mighty power emerge from the void.

coming!

This is……

Plane Court!

Above his head, a crack in the void opened, shining like a beam of light from a stage.

Di Castiglio Epipedon (Δικαστριοεπιπδων)!
Suddenly, a thought flooded into his mind.

"Warning! The Kingdom of God invasion camp has been detected, lawful and neutral!
The target is the court of the planes, the threat level is harmless...

Important reminder, intermediate lecturer Roland, would you like to accept the invitation of the Plane Tribunal to testify in court as the chief authoritative expert on Seres? "

"accept!"

The next moment, Roland's figure began to blur.

……

The darkness and emptiness were illuminated by light, and the kingdom of Nomos, the god of law, was once again revealed in front of Roland.

What unfolded in front of him at this moment was something he had seen before, a huge square like an ancient temple.

In the huge circular building, hazy figures appeared one after another, and the petitioners who turned into afterimages of history responded to the call of the court and showed their own figures at this end of the long river of time.

Scales, high platform, 13-member jury...

Then there was the giant-like figure that seemed to be hidden in the depths of the clouds.

"The Plane Court is currently hearing the case where the plaintiff, Orvisto Sals, sued the defendant, Exip North, for failing to fulfill the loan contract and pay the interest in time. The plaintiff, Orvisto, requested to summon relevant language experts to testify..."

The voice of the ancient gods floated, and Exip who was opposite was so excited that he slapped the table.

"I said, two, is it necessary? Is it necessary?"

"Axipu, don't be impatient, I invite you here this time not to pay back the money, but to remind you to pay attention to the loan contract."

"Is there anything to pay attention to, anyway, I won't be able to pay it back for the rest of my life, if I want money, I will die!"

Exip was also angry.

As the devil of hell, he felt a great insult.

Ovisto chuckled and looked at him meaningfully.

Exip shuddered suddenly, and finally recalled that Master Mage has no less means of torturing souls than devils.

After Orvisto shut him up with his eyes, he applied in a loud voice: "Honored Your Majesty Nomos, I request to re-examine the loan contract and inform the defendant of the obligations that must be fulfilled."

"Agreed, please ask expert Roland to interpret the document."

The voice of the ancient gods floated.

I do not want to hear!

Exip was going crazy.

He doesn't want others to remind him that he still owes money!
That damned rolling interest was only 10 gold coins at the beginning, but who knows how much it has rolled now.

Sure enough, the teacher and student began to torture themselves.

They are the real devils, right?

But in court, you have to listen even if you don't want to.

Roland began to explain to him word by word, even explaining the meanings word by word, as well as the meaning of the context.

If this is an oversight, if you didn't hear clearly, and you agreed in a muddleheaded way, wouldn't you be cheated to death?
Exip didn't dare to be careless at all, and listened with wide-eyed eyes as if facing an enemy.

Gradually, he seemed to feel something was wrong.

He blinked his eyes, and said with a puzzled face: "Roland, you didn't cause trouble like I did before, and you ran here to seek refuge?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Roland almost choked on his own saliva.

He waved his fist and said displeasedly.

"Why are you so innocent? Am I that kind of person?"

Exip sneered and said, "Whether he is that kind of person, I know in my heart!"

Immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Anyway, no matter what the other party said, he didn't understand, accept, or approve.

I'm illiterate, it's useless for you to tell me these things.

……

What happened after that did not exceed Exip's expectations.

Orvisto and Roland were not in a hurry at all, and did not apply to the court to correct his attitude, or enforce it.

Orvisto even took out a book in court and read it.

Roland patiently explained over and over again, but there was no progress in a few words.

Exip was listening to a lullaby.

Finally, after more than half an hour passed.

"Because the relevant legal documents are complicated, the defendant's education level is too low, and it is difficult to communicate and understand, I apply for a temporary adjournment..."

"The adjournment is allowed, and the time for the next court session will be agreed upon by both the plaintiff and the defendant.

If no agreement can be reached, the plaintiff's interests will be compelled to hold a hearing...

Now, adjourn! "

Boom!The gavel sounded, and the two parties withdrew from the plane court.

Roland's figure flashed and he returned to the room.

He went out immediately and found Skold and Yiwen.

Seeing him coming back, the two of them smiled happily and said, "Mr. Leon drove the green dragon away, good guy, he slipped so fast, he sneaked into the shadow plane and disappeared!"

It turned out that during Roland's absence, Scudder, Leon and others had already "made their own claims" to chase the dragon.

"She ran away? No injuries or anything?"

Roland was taken aback, Mr. Leon and the others were not weak.

"No, that guy seems very alert."

"She can sneak back and forth, won't she stay in the manor?"

"Mr. Leon also mentioned this possibility, they are searching everywhere, and the magic circle to prevent dreams has also been set up, and it will be running at full power in the past few days.

More importantly, Your Excellency Antonia has come here in person, so it is absolutely safe! "

Roland was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Anthony wanted His Excellency to come here specially because of his own affairs.

They still don't know about the transaction contract between themselves and Trina, but in this way, they just broke the terms.

Your Excellency Antonia is not an ally that I can easily mobilize. He came here to maintain the stability and order of the Art Rhine, and he did not invite him on his own initiative.

Soon after, Roland and others went out to meet Antonia.

Antonia smiled and said, "Roland, that's a good trick. I didn't expect you to use the power of the court of the plane to avoid the green dragon."

He was able to retrieve the records of the Arteline Mage Tower, so he naturally knew that there were traces of the court of the planes in the manor here.

After a little calculation of the cause and effect, I also understood what was going on.

"I made your Excellency laugh." Roland was a little uncertain about his position, and said cautiously.

Antonia smiled and said: "We mages have never been afraid of fighting dragons, and your ability to use the power of fallen gods is also a manifestation of wisdom.

However, these evil dragons are always very vindictive, this time you have completely offended her, so be careful. "

"That's no way, who asked her to pull me into the dream and force me to sign the contract?"

Roland sighed, and then asked.

"Do you know this green dragon?"

Antonia said: "This is a green dragon with an adventure. When Tinyara was forced to move out of the Kingdom of Lena, he obtained part of his divine power, and thus mastered the Dragon Ball dreamland Wallis."

Tinyara was once the holy tree of elves in the world where the kingdom of Leinar was located, which is also the legendary tree of the world.

The growth process of this kind of tree species is extremely long, but once it grows up smoothly, it will spread the root system throughout the world, as powerful as a god.

The world tree often has an unusually developed root system, and a single plant can spread all over the world, and then grow forests and branches where the magic energy is rich.

The elves like to rely on it to build their own habitats and achieve a special symbiotic relationship.

Green dragons are also forest dwellers, and often compete with elves and goblins for territory, and even enjoy hunting or corrupting each other.

Although there are occasional green dragons that are influenced or tamed by the elves, most of the time, the relationship between the two is hostile.

But the world tree is neutral, it does not have the distinction of good and evil in the usual sense, it just respects nature and protects the forest.

This green dragon named Trina was born just a hundred years ago, when Tinyara abandoned her homeland and moved to another world in order to protect the elves.

The background of this historical event is the large-scale invasion of Alteraine, which completely captured the world and colonized the Kingdom of Lena.

Feeling deeply regretful, Tinyara blessed the land with her last strength, and as a result, the divine power was gathered together through the veins of the earth, and was just absorbed by a dragon egg hidden in a certain cave, thus creating the green dragon Trina.

"This is a green dragon born with a legendary destiny, but her legendary destiny is not to complete tasks such as protecting the Kingdom of Reiner or saving those half-elves, but to survive...

Live well and keep growing!
Hehe, sometimes it's ironic when I think about it, the evil green dragon, who lives in the forest and often fights against the elves, is blessed by the holy tree of elves, and he doesn't know that those Tinyaras who ran away What kind of expression will the tribe make when they learn about this. "

"This is really... jealous!"

Roland admired it.

What is air luck?

What is the Chosen Daughter?
This is great luck, this is the chosen daughter!

The World Tree is a world-class god, and its divine power is infinitely useful to ordinary creatures.

She is also a member of the Green Dragon Clan, with extraordinary potential for growth.

Some of these secrets are not within the scope of public information. Hearing Antonia's introduction of these causes and consequences, Roland instantly understood many things.

For example, the Reiner Kingdom is actually an abandoned people, and the half-blooded half-elf has never been recognized by Tinyara.

Another example is that there are magic crystal mines in low-magic areas, and the leaves of the world tree are produced. It really is a remnant of the past.

"Sister Cuihua, the road is narrow! 』

"Such a good destiny, what are you doing with the Tinyara Restoration Army? Gou Dao Changsheng is king. 』

Roland shook his head and asked about Wallis, the Dragon Ball dream.

Antonia continued: "That is part of Tinyara's spiritual power, which belongs to the power of the plant spirit.

To prevent it, there must be no plants within a certain range to form a magic transmission path.

The effective isolation distance we calculated is 50 to 100 feet. For the sake of safety, it is enough to reserve it in Dali. "

Roland nodded after hearing this, and quickly remembered the information in his mind.

"Also, the operation of mechanical rune arrays will produce special magic radiation, which can interfere with it to a certain extent. Natural environments such as deserts, Gobi, and oceans, where plants are difficult to survive, can also suppress it."

"So that's it. This kind of thing can be called a kind of divine kingdom in essence."

"Yes, the characteristics of the rules are very obvious."

Some things become arcane after disenchantment.

What Arcanists like most is to explain some phenomena that are originally difficult to understand clearly, so as to summarize them and effectively use or prevent them.

At first Roland hid in the villa and was still involved in the dream, feeling quite flustered, but now he is not panicked at all.

Because today is the day they will return to the mage's tower, after they go back, living in the building is not so easy to be invaded.

Then Roland cheekily issued a request, and under the care of Antonia, he went to the teleportation array in the center of the city and returned to the Orvisto Mage Tower as scheduled.

As expected, the whole process was uneventful. Trina did not dare to show her face from the beginning to the end, nor did she have the opportunity to launch any real or dream attacks.

Just after Roland returned to the Mage Tower, he was reminded by Tower Ling and was contacted by the plane court again.

"...to accuse Roland of breaching the contract..."

Familiar scene, familiar picture.

Standing on the opposite side of the scale is no longer the devil from hell, but the green dragon Trina.

"Boy, you are asking for trouble, deliberately avoiding me, and not completing the transaction is also a breach of the contract!"

She showed her anger unabashedly, the body of the female elf trembled slightly, and the ominous omen also trembled angrily.

At the moment, a lawsuit was filed against Nomos, demanding that Roland be punished and the transaction be compelled to be completed.

After she finished speaking, she turned to Roland with a look of pride in her calculations, with her wisdom in her hands.

The contract contains relatively strict patch clauses. In most cases, failure to complete the transaction will be considered as deliberate evasion.

The fact is that Roland disappeared at a critical moment, causing her to be hunted down by Leon and others. There is every reason to suspect that Roland deliberately dealt with her.

As a result, Nomos said: "Roland failed to complete the transaction due to force majeure, and there was no subjective and deliberate evasion."

"What?" Trina was shocked.

what's the problem?

The ancient gods did not give her an explanation, and quickly moved on to the next topic: "According to the usual practice, both parties can re-sign the agreement through friendly negotiation and continue the transaction."

"I refuse!" Roland announced loudly, "Since the opportunity has been missed, let's just cancel the transaction!"

"I also refuse! The deadline for fulfilling the contract has not yet expired. I demand that the original contract be fulfilled immediately, and the transaction will be made in court!" Trina said through gritted teeth.

"Contract, what contract?" Roland immediately widened his eyes, and said innocently, "Oh, you said that you forced me to sign the forced purchase and forced sale contract in the dream, it seems to be ambiguous and disputed, I request It voids."

"Please give your reason."

Said the ancient gods.

Roland said: "In Seres, although the pronunciation of deposit and deposit are the same, they are completely different legal concepts. At that time, we were in a dream, and everything was based on spiritual communication, so we didn't distinguish it very well.

The text of the contract, the oral agreement, and even the comparative texts in other languages, there are deviations between them, logically they should be cancelled..."

"The reason is valid, and the court ruled to cancel the contract!"

While Trina was stunned, the ancient gods immediately accepted Roland's statement without leaving any room for it.

"This, how is this possible?" Trina trembled angrily, pointing at Roland, in disbelief, "He said it was different, why?"

"The party involved is the chief authoritative expert on the Selis language system, and the only authoritative expert in the world today. His explanation is authoritative. After serious consideration, this court decided to accept his statement.

All of the above are based on honesty, and there is no evidence to overthrow it after the lie detector and true seeing skills..."

Trina's thoughts were confused, and she was almost unable to hear the words of the ancient gods.

"What about the money I've paid him? What about my jewel?"

"Please submit sufficient evidence to show that you have paid, the law is about evidence!"

Roland stood on the dock and spoke sternly.

"I claim that it's a reward for giving you a 'look' at the ring. Didn't I already give you a look at the effect of the transformation ring at your request?
As for whether you think it is reasonable or not, I think it is very reasonable. If you are not convinced, go back and find a good lawyer, and we will take this lawsuit slowly.

When you find a good lawyer, or spend tens of thousands of gold coins to prove your claim with spells such as wish and time reversal, and His Majesty Nomos agrees, I will definitely obey the judgment.

However, I am very poor, idealistic, and generous. I may impulsively donate all my personal intellectual property rights and wealth to charitable funds. Wait until I have enough money to pay back slowly. "

Trina just felt angry.

The whole body was shivering with cold.

"That's okay too?"

The long-gone ancient gods stared down silently, as if they were also silent about it.
