Chapter 784: Lightspeed Breaking the Appointment

For the first time, Blaze felt the importance of knowledge. He looked at the mural in front of him and felt confused, having no idea what it depicted.

If he was a man with a lot of knowledge, he might be able to see something from this mural, but unfortunately he was just a complete reckless man.

"It would be great if there was a skill that could make a person know all knowledge in an instant." Blaze sighed regretfully.

"Yes." The chicken raised its wings and covered one of its eyes with its feathers. "But that's not a good thing."

The chicken very vividly dressed up as an acquaintance of Blaze, who is also one of the only two people Blaze knows who has omniscience - Odin.

If it was Odin, he would definitely be able to understand this mural, but Blaze couldn't ask Odin for help. After interacting with these old guys more, Blaze gradually understood why these old guys always said some profound riddles instead of directly telling the answers.

Because that is cheating by taking shortcuts, and there will be a price to pay.

Odin paid a price to gain omniscience. He did not need to study hard or think hard to gain endless knowledge and answers to all questions. But what did he get?
Destruction, and a destruction that was almost avoidable.

Odin saw the answer, and then looked back to the beginning with the answer. There were countless possibilities in the process that could change the outcome, but Odin could not see them.

This is the truth that Odin, who calls himself Blaze's father, taught Blaze through his own actions.

Paine said nothing, probably for this reason. After getting the answer, people only see the answer and become careless about the process.

"Seeking knowledge..." Blaze put away the papyrus in his hand. He decided to go to the Golden Kingdom to seek answers to his doubts.

The next question is how to deal with the Gomorrah he summoned. He can't just say, "It's none of your business. You can go back to where you came from."
"Well... my confusion has been resolved, you can leave now."

"Do you think that this kind of thing that has nothing to do with you and that going back to where you came from will be of any use to the devil?" Gomorrah's face, which had no eyes but only a mouth, showed changes in muscles similar to frowning.

"Just in case it's useful...right." Blaze turned his head away awkwardly, wondering what to do if it was a stranger.

If it's a stranger... [Not leaving? Then let it become my experience points] [Okay, then the contract is to answer a question for me, what is 1+1?]

Blazer spent a minute thinking hard and concluded that the stranger's way of handling the matter was indeed abnormal.

"How about this, you tell me what price you want me to pay, and then I can tell you the appropriate commission, clearly mark the price, and put an end to excessive charges."

The biggest reason why demons have become a well-known symbol of evil is that they do things first and collect the price later.

They are like unscrupulous businessmen who conceal the selling price, and tell you all kinds of discounts and purchase benefits with a smile to get people to sign contracts.

The fact that demons never lie is deeply rooted in people's minds, so the contractors often ignore their right to ask further questions.

"There are two kinds of services: those who want me to take the blame, and those who don't." Gomorrah raised two fingers seriously. "If you want me to bear the consequences of your actions, the price you have to pay is your soul. Otherwise, you only need to reimburse me for the losses incurred when executing the contract, and half of the losses as my reward."

"If death occurs due to improper execution of the contract, then the contract will be considered invalid."

"Haa——" Blaze felt that the demon in front of him had become extremely pragmatic, just like a diligent businessman or mercenary.

Now Blazer knew why there were such terrible stories as "demons bewitching humans and taking away their souls in the end". It turned out that those who summoned demons chose the service of "the demons taking the blame". However, in this case, those demons who drove demons in history chose the service of "taking the blame themselves" and continued to pay some price to drive demons.

"Then you go and protect a merchant named Herby from [Hermes's Traveling Hat]."

"No, I will not accept this kind of contract that may create a triangular debt, unless the merchant named Hebi is brought with you and all her requests to me are authorized by you on the spot."

The devil's contract is very strict, which is normal. Those who always exploit loopholes in the contract to gain more know where the loopholes are better.

What if Herbie threatened Gomorrah with his own safety and asked her to do something? If Gomorrah did not do it, it would be against the contract. If she did it, Blazer could deny it by saying that it was Herbie's request and had nothing to do with his contract to protect Herbie.

"Well, then..." Blaze didn't know what contract to propose for a moment, and his eyes stayed on the mural on the wall.

It would be a good option to let Gomorrah help him decipher the mural about the perfect man Adam, but it would be more reassuring for him to do this important task by himself.

"What should I do..."

Blaze unconsciously touched the wall of the Silver City, his fingers moving along the white oval tracks, and then a chill rose from the bottom of his heart for some reason.

That is the feeling of uneasiness that comes from overlooking some important details.

"Why...why are you wandering around the territory of the Holy Cross when you are disguised as angels?"

"I don't know. When we disguised ourselves as angels, we were unconscious and our behavior was completely dependent on our instinct to fulfill the contract." Gomorrah paused and continued, "The contract between the devil and the angel is to hide the contract itself, the truth about the Golden Kingdom, and all information about the perfect man Adam to prevent any possible leaks."

"We are chasing you because we feel that the consequences of your actions will lead to the failure of the contract, and we are wandering within the borders of the Holy Cross Kingdom..."

"There is something in there that has also touched the contents of the contract." Blaze frowned, and the chill in his heart receded a little, but was replaced by a feeling of trouble.

Because there were too many coincidences in the Holy Cross, Theresa chose [Eden] as the belief to spread, and Paine also chose to make trouble in the Holy Cross and took out the bomb of the Age of Gods technology, and the angels never left the territory of the Holy Cross.

Whether it is knowing about the Golden Country or knowing about the perfect Adam... no matter which one it is, Blaze hopes to know it first.

If we ask Gomorrah to look for it, it might be too late, so...

"The devil can sense the crisis that the contract is about to expire, right?" Blaze asked.

"Yes."

"Then let's make this contract." Blaze thought of a different approach.

"[Before the ceremony of exchanging authority between Earth and Sun is completely completed, hide the truth about Perfect Adam and the Golden Country, and do not let anyone other than me and those I guide know the truth]"

"【Contract established】." Gomorrah murmured, and then immediately showed a painful expression.

"The contract has been threatened."
