Chapter 21 Contractor

Contractor. A human being capable of creating a connection with the Abyss.

Since the empire's research on this connection is not thorough enough, there is no too detailed division.

Just from the strength of ability alone, it can be roughly divided into four stages.

The first stage is the most common contractor. Most of the people who have just passed the canonization ceremony are of this level, accounting for 80% of all contractors. The contract demon is summoned.

And the second level, accounting for 15% of the total number of contractors, at this stage, the contractors have already established some kind of inexplicable symbiotic relationship with their own demons.

The general performance is that the contractor has some demonic abilities.

Just like the old priest, he can slightly control people's thinking through his sight, while Deacon Badr has extremely strong physical strength.At the same time, if a person or a demon is injured, it will also affect each other.

And ordinary second-tier contractors can become priests of the Holy See. After all, their combat power is already beyond that of human beings.

As for the contractors in the third stage, there are only 5% left.

These contractors are actually similar to the second-tier contractors in that they can summon demons and have some abilities from the abyss of hell.

The only difference is that they can summon 'large demons', and at the same time, the strength of their symbiotic ability is far beyond the second level.

Take the dead Deacon Badr as an example; if he reaches the third stage, then his contract demon can probably evolve to more than ten meters, a single collision can easily destroy half of the street, and his physical strength, It is estimated that the Knights of the Protector can stand and fight for several hours in turn without fighting back.

Fortunately, due to the shroud of the Holy See [Holy Light], large void cracks cannot be opened in the empire, and those demons controlled by the third-tier contractors are also under the control of the Holy See.

Otherwise, if a few large demons get together, it is estimated that a city can be demolished.

The contractors in the above three stages already accounted for all the contractors.

As for the fourth stage, it was actually only divided about 35 years ago.

It was the era of great chaos when the demons invaded for the second time. War and killing became the main theme of the world, and the survival of human beings had reached the verge of jeopardy.

Then the man who was like a god of death appeared
Monsieur Dante Alighieri
A poor man who came out of the lower city, with an extremely rare surname, a strange name, and a body full of brilliance, countless honors, stood alone in front of the gate of hell, slaughtered tens of thousands of demons, and stepped into another world, After one year and seven months, he returned to the human world, confronted the most terrifying evil god of the abyss with the willpower of a mortal, and killed him, ending the five-year war of demon invasion. The hero of the empire was enshrined as a god by humans General.

His deeds have been recorded in the textbooks of all schools for decades. Although he has already shed his heavy power armor and returned to his hometown to live in his hometown, he is still admired most by the entire empire.

He is the only contractor who has evolved to the fourth stage.

However, it is precisely because he is so radiant that no organization dares to study what kind of power he possesses, not even the Holy See, and he himself does not seem to be interested in explaining it clearly.

As a result, no one knows how powerful the contractors in the fourth stage are.

Sherlock has actually heard a little about the division of these four stages, after all, he has read a lot of books.

After hearing the old priest's proposal, he was first startled, then surprised, and finally turned into a slight hesitation.

Become a contractor.
As a member of this world, no matter how unique Sherlock is, he will definitely not resist becoming a contractor. But his yearning for this is not at all due to the pursuit of power, power or social status.

It's because of his curiosity...and thirst for knowledge.

Sherlock is a detective, so the exploration of those unknown areas is really very attractive to him; at the same time, he is a mortal, so he will naturally wonder what the contractor feels like;
Of course he also knows that the Holy See already has a way to make a mortal become a contractor, but that is a gift that only the most devout believers can get. son', isn't it kind of. unworthy
The old priest should have seen Sherlock's thoughts, and smiled: "You don't need to care too much, you saved the lives of two priests of the Holy See, and dozens of brave soldiers of the Guardian Knights, the most important thing is It is the ability you have shown that has already won my admiration and recognition that you are worthy of this gift."

He was very sincere, but Sherlock still looked suspicious.

After more than ten seconds, the old priest felt a little embarrassed. He looked at the door of the tent to make sure that there were no guards passing by, and finally whispered:

"You saved Catherine, and her family's status in the Holy See is very high."

"High?"

"Well, it's much higher than you imagined, but I can't go into details. In short, it's just a canonization ceremony for the contractor. It's really nothing. If you are a member of the Holy See, maybe you can be promoted several times directly. Personality."

"Um~"

This was really beyond Sherlock's expectations. He didn't expect that he offended not only a trial nun, but also a higher identity behind it; good news.

As for the old priest, seeing that Sherlock hadn't agreed, he was a little anxious; just ask who has received such a reward, and he hastened to thank Dade for kneeling down and bowing to the Holy See.

Why does this guy still have hesitation on his face, is it possible that he has to let himself beg him?
So, he didn't wait for the other party's response, and asked directly as if forcibly inserting:
"So, have you ever had that strange dream?"

"Dream??
What dream? ! "

So far, this whole day, the detective finally, like a commoner, showed a bit of surprise that he should have!
