Chapter 24 The Temple Contract, The Gods of Naroa【For further reading】

When mentioning the contract, Rebecca couldn't help thinking of the fear of being dominated by Chen Xuan.

You must know that the soul contract has absolute authority in the Naloa continent.

It is a rule handed down from ancient times in the Naloa continent.

Affected by this, the use of soul information in this world is quite mature.

The face can be disguised or changed, but the soul is always unique.

Previously, when Chen Xuan became a naturalized adventurer, the soul imprint left by dripping blood was also based on this principle of application.

The role of the imprint is similar to the copy of the ID card in Blue Star, it will not affect the main body, but it is enough to prove the identity.

But such a law that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and cannot be reversed in the hearts of every Naloa aborigine has changed in Chen Xuan.

This kind of impact on the inherent cognition made the cat girl Rebecca very impressed.

When the contract was first mentioned, she didn't react right away because she said it fluently.

After all, things like contracts are like eating and drinking in this world.

At this time, Chen Xuan, who was standing by and listening carefully, also came back to his senses.

He suddenly remembered the scene where Goldfinger revised the terms of the slave contract after [Crossover] to ensure that his soul was not subject to any restrictions.

Perhaps, this is Goldfinger's protection of his independence of soul.

If all contracts rely on the soul as a pledge or credit guarantee.

Then this feature will undoubtedly allow him to take advantage of the contract.

This is a unilateral non-responsible breach of contract...

It doesn't matter how harsh the terms are!
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan looked at Rebecca's beautiful red eyes with piercing eyes.

"contract?"

"Tell me in detail, I am very interested."

The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing an inscrutable smile.

On the spot, Rebecca Miri trembled, as if she had foreseen the future.

"Gudong..."

Subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Yes... it is an exchange contract or wish contract concluded in various temples."

"Different from the terms and conditions agreed upon by both parties."

"The conclusion of the temple contract is the god!"

"Of course, this kind of contract is still based on the information of the soul."

Rebecca lowered her volume, almost speaking next to his ear.

Obviously this topic is sensitive.

Hearing her words, Chen Xuan frowned slightly.

"God!"

"Then why don't the gods solve the monster burrow once and for all?"

This question is enough to expose his identity as an "outsider".

However, Rebecca already knew something about it, so she was not surprised by the question of her cheap master.

She brushed the ends of her silver-white hair, took out a piece of mint-flavored chewing gum from the waist pocket of the leather armor, stuffed it into her mouth and started to chew, pondering to organize the words in her heart.

Ever since eating chewing gum at Blue Star, she has fallen in love with this little candy that promotes concentration.

Chen Xuan was not stingy either, and gave her several belts without hindering her movements.

After thinking for a while, she brought her head closer and said in a low voice.

The fresh scent of mint sprayed out from the pink mouth, blowing his cheeks.

"Owner…"

"The gods of Naloa are not some kind of specific existence."

"People worship learning, so they built the Temple of Knowledge, they prayed for health, and they prayed for the Temple of Life, and they admired brave warriors, so the Temple of Heroes was born..."

"In addition, each ethnic group has different totems or beliefs."

The gum managed to relax her quite a bit.

At this time, Chen Xuan couldn't help asking.

"Then God is just a symbol?"

"Represents just the yearning for beautiful things in the minds of all living beings?"

"But what do you mean that the temple can be contracted?"

He was full of curiosity.

If the gods of the Naloa continent are just a feedback of symbols of faith, then he can feel at ease.

If the god belonged to the legendary high-dimensional creature or the controller of some rules, Goldfinger's behavior of modifying the contract, even if it was not restricted by the soul level, would still attract the attention of the god and cause unnecessary trouble.

So it is very important for him to figure this out.

"Longing for beautiful things?!"

"Very apt metaphor!"

"You are right. God is indeed a symbol transformed from belief and worship."

"But the power of gods does exist. Every few years, there are always a few lucky people who get favored by gods and become the darlings of gods that are unique in thousands."

"Concluding a contract is naturally true. Different temples can exchange for different things through contracts."

"Wealth, power, some kind of ancient knowledge, talent, magic skills, secrets..."

"Anything imaginable or unimaginable can become a contract object."

"It's just that the more expensive the exchange, the more unaffordable it is to pay."

"Such as lifespan, vitality, learned knowledge, mastered power, past, future, soul, and even a specific torture curse, all may become the price to pay."

"No one can figure out the rules, but in general, the temple contract is not cost-effective, it is the last choice of many desperadoes."

"And the upper limit that each creature can request for exchange is completely different. Before the previous contract is fulfilled, a new temple contract cannot be concluded."

"Each creature can only sign three temple contracts in its lifetime."

"The further you go, the less things you can exchange."

"God will take away all bargaining chips for the contract after the performance deadline."

Rebecca was chewing gum, the white jelly contrasted sharply with the pale pink tongue.

This explanation also made Chen Xuan understand what the contract between Naroja's gods and the temple was all about.

First of all, the speculation that the gods are high-dimensional creatures can be ruled out.

The god here is a kind of feedback body condensed by worship, belief and the power of rules itself.

In other words, these so-called gods are part of the Naloa world!

Although it is not possible to discover the deep-seated secrets immediately.

But at least this is the established rule on the surface.

The concept of gods has existed in the Naloa continent for a long time, and countless people have signed contracts.

This thing sounds like a pawn shop that exchanges itself for some kind of power.

"I probably understand."

"Then suppose I can modify the temple contract?"

"Like...your slave bond..."

"Will you be retaliated by the gods?"

"What if the contracting party dies during the performance of the contract?"

Chen Xuan had many questions, and he didn't shy away from them, so he raised them directly.

Rebecca was stunned, surprised at his brain hole.

Then patiently explained.

"Punishment and price are determined by the terms of the contract."

"As long as everything is carried out according to the terms, there is no such thing as retaliation."

"As for the death during the performance of the contract, if it is homicide, the soul will be taken away."

"And suicide is impossible, you underestimate the limitations of the soul!"

"Just like me now, even if I have the slightest thought of being disrespectful to you, I will be punished and accompanied by instinctive guilt!"
