Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 504: Conclusion, Dragon Contract! (5k3)

"..."

"……Roar."

[…I don’t think you can do such a thing, human.]

In Luo Xiu's ears, a new, deep voice of Quesanx flooded into his ears.

【But...I don't hate this.】

[You convinced me. At least before killing Fafnir, the Dragon of Destruction, we can have... a common goal.]

[We can indeed conclude a contract.]

【…】

He finished saying this.

Then, Luo Xiu saw the "ancient dragon" Quesanx, which was originally perched on the edge above the treasure cave. He then spread his huge dragon wings and flew into the treasure cave.

--boom! ! !

Rumble—Quesanx's landing was accompanied by a huge rumble, and the earth shook violently.

Thick dust and smoke also rose up, and the mountains of gold, silver and treasures then fell down like an avalanche.

Luo Xiu was still staring at the giant dragon in front of him.

Until he saw the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx slowly walking towards him, and at the same time raised and stretched out its huge dragon claws towards him.

A deep red light appeared on the tips of the dragon's claws, and then spread out in circles into the air around Luo Xiu in front of him. Ancient inscriptions floated in it. Luo Xiu could clearly feel that Quesanx had infused a large amount of surging spirituality into it.

"I swear to the First Dragon in the name of Quesanx, the Dragon of Justice."

This time, the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx no longer made a low dragon roar, but instead spoke from his huge dragon mouth in the "Dragon Language" that truly belonged to the Age of Gods.

"With the followers of this glory, I will make an unbreakable contract."

“I will walk, I will give, I will connect.”

"I will give you half my life, half my strength, and half my soul as the price for breaking your oath."

"Authority will bear witness that I have placed my oath above justice."

That is the oath of the "ancient dragon" and of [authority]!

As he recited these words in his huge dragon mouth, his overlapping three-colored dragon pupils flashed with a scorching light, and he gazed deeply at the tiny human figure in front of him.

And the dragon claw that He stretched out to Luo Xiu - the tip of the claw that was glowing red, the scorching crimson light was becoming more and more vivid and bright.

More and more red rings spread out and stayed in the air for a long time, forming a light net with ancient and complex patterns.

Luo Xiu knew that the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx had indeed agreed to his proposal to "conclude a contract" with him.

Then, it is time for him to express himself and proceed to the next step.

On the back of Luo Xiu's raised right hand, the engraved patterns of the dragon claw and the sword also flashed a deep red light at the same time. He also poured his spirituality into it, and at the same time, he chanted with the Sanskrit sound of [Glorious] -

"I swear to the Suncaster in the name of the Holy Winged Envoy, Luo Xiu Durant."

"I will make an unbreakable contract with this dragon of authority."

"I will give, I will guide, I will connect."

"I will give you half my life, half my strength, and half my soul as the price for breaking your oath."

"The Glory will bear witness to the fact that I have placed my vow above eternity."

——Buzz!!!

When Luo Xiu completed the oath to [Glory] according to the oath he made with Quesanx, the light emanating from the back of his hand suddenly turned into a bright golden color, and soon swirled and intertwined with the light emanating from Quesanx's dragon claws!
The deep red and bright golden light then continuously surges, covers and blends with each other. This is an ongoing process.

The oaths made to [Authority] and [Glory] respectively do not conflict with each other.

This is essentially just a spiritual medium that carries the "oath", and under Luo Xiu's spiritual vision - an illusory, blurred, "real" picture that does not belong to the present gradually emerges in his eyes.

It was in a huge palace that was quite old and filled with gorgeous colors everywhere.

He saw the "Ancient Dragon" - Quesanx, who was once the "Dragon of Justice", wearing a huge, red crown.

He was sitting on a huge throne, and below him were many humans and dragons in solemn and gorgeous clothes, worshiping Him.

Among them were warriors, bards, court nobles, and even kings and emperors. They were all followers of Quesanx, the "Dragon of Justice"...

Luo Xiu knew that what he saw were all blurry silhouettes of the "Age of Gods" period.

This image quickly disappeared from Luo Xiu's sight, and he saw the "real" Quesanx in front of him again. At the same time, circular patterns of bright gold and deep red appeared in the depths of his soul.

That is the pattern of the final casting and manifestation of the "contract" -

[You have signed a contract with the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx]

The following words immediately appeared on Luo Xiu's panel.

At the same time, Luo Xiu felt a tremendous force pouring into him. In addition to the golden light that continued to spread, the edges of his body also showed deep red, just like peeling off silk threads from a cocoon.

That was the power of the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx, which was continuously pouring into his body!
In front of Luo Xiu, the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx, which originally emitted a deep red light from its outline, also showed a bright golden color on its surface.

Luo Xiu's power was also flowing into Him, and the spirituality of [authority] and [glory] had truly been reconciled and integrated!

"..."

"……Roar."

[…Our ‘contract’ has been concluded, Luo Xiu.]

Quesanx let out a low roar, and at the same time, his voice flooded into Luo Xiu's ears—

[You are actually willing to pay half of your life, half of your strength and soul as the price for breaking your oath.]

[Human... I recognize you now. ]

【But I hope you won’t let me down. 】

"..."

"You will witness it, 'Dragon of Justice' Quesanx."

"I promise you that."

The contract was completed, and Luo Xiu smiled and said to the Ancient Dragon Quesanx:
"Now, there's just one problem."

"Can you, be smaller?"

——He is so huge!
With his current size, he could not bring back the Lost Royal Court of the Holy Abyss. Moreover, the players could easily see that he had to be made smaller before he could be disguised.

"..."

"……Roar."

[…This is not difficult, Luo Xiu.]

The voice of Quesanx came into Luo Xiu's ears.

Then, Luo Xiu saw that the "Ancient Dragon" in front of him was glowing with a deep red light, and layers of dark red mist surged out, and its size continued to shrink under Luo Xiu's gaze.

The giant dragon that was perched on the pile of gold and silver, like a majestic mountain, gradually shrank to the size of a two-story manor building.

The pitch-black base color of His body had begun to show signs of flowing crimson like ripples. Compared to His previous huge size, He had shrunk by dozens or even hundreds of times.

He is completely different from before - the current "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx, He looks like a red dragon with a darker color and a more fiery and rich spiritual aura.

Even if He appeared directly in the field of vision of the players of "Holy Abyss", the players would not be able to truly recognize Him.

Luo Xiu looked at Him with satisfaction—now, he could indeed take Him away.

Then, Luo Xiu first took out the black-patterned puppet mask that symbolized the identity of "Lord of the Holy Abyss" from his storage bracelet. Then, strands of black mist emerged from his body, interweaving to form a new cloak that completely covered his original figure.

"Ancient Dragon" Quesanx was also watching the changes in Luo Xiu.

At this point, He could already see that the "Holy Winged Messenger" in front of him... Luo Xiu Durant, did not only have the identity of [Glory].

He was not shy about revealing the subtle forbidden aura in himself, which shocked Quesanx a little, but he could accept it.

And then, in the dragon pupils of the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx, he saw several rings of deep red magic circles quickly appearing on the ground where he was perched.

That was a teleportation array with the same aura as [Authority] - Quesanx knew that Luo Xiu was going to teleport him and himself to another place.

Teleported to the secret place called "The Lost Royal Court of Isol" that Luo Xiu had mentioned before. ...

After a while.

"Holy Abyss", the abandoned royal court of Isol.

When Luo Xiu deployed a teleportation array under the feet of himself and the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx, their figures in reality quickly became blurred.

And when their vision became clear again, Luo Xiu and the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx had already arrived above the "Holy Abyss", and came to the magnificent hall belonging to the "Lord of the Holy Abyss".

"Welcome to my kingdom - 'Dragon of Justice' Quesanx."

Luo Xiu opened his arms towards Quesanx.

"……Roar."

[…I feel it. This place…does have a very strong ‘authoritarian’ atmosphere.]

The Ancient Dragon, Quesanx, said to Luo Xiu:

[Here... there are many people with different destinies. ]

[I believe it. This is indeed your 'country', Luo Xiu Durant.]

【…】

"I told you this is a perfect place for you to 'recuperate', Quesanx."

Luo Xiu responded with a smile, but his expression quickly turned serious as he said:
"Please feel free to do as you please. There is no need to be restrained. There is only one thing - do not show your real image to any of my 'Apostles' here. That will bring unnecessary trouble to you and me."

"..."

"……Roar."

[…I already know. You don’t need to worry about this.]

In Luo Xiu's ears, the voice of Quesanx's response came into his ears.

Then, Luo Xiu saw that the miniature version of the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx had turned to the outside of the hall, then spread its pair of dragon wings that were burning with flames, raised its neck and let out a loud dragon roar, then flew towards the sky outside the hall!
"--Roar!"

A violent storm arose from the place where He flew up, which fluttered the cloak worn by Luo Xiu violently.

Then, under Luo Xiu's gaze, the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx flew out of the hall and soared above the sky of the "Holy Abyss"!

Luo Xiu also walked out of the hall at the same time.

He looked up and saw that the figure of the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx was indeed becoming fainter very quickly. It was difficult to see him with the naked eye. One could only see a residual image left behind by his swift flight.

He should be happy—

The spirituality transmitted back from the newly concluded "contract" allowed Luo Xiu to indeed feel the emotional fluctuations of Quesanx. He may have regarded this secret realm of "Holy Abyss" as his new territory, and Luo Xiu did not object to this.

And when the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx actually came to the Lost Royal Court of the "Holy Abyss", Luo Xiu actually felt that the edge of this entire secret realm seemed to have expanded outward by a considerable amount -

It was as if Quesanx had been made the new "core" of the secret realm, and the concentration of spirituality in the entire Royal Court secret realm had also increased slightly.

This actually has the benefit of mutually nourishing benefits for the "Holy Abyss" royal court secret realm and the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx.

"..."

Luo Xiu was thinking about this.

He is in a pretty good mood now.

While looking up at the "ancient dragon" Quesanx that had become invisible, Luo Xiu had also opened his panel.

Now, he finally has some free time to pay attention to the changes in his own panel.

The successful conclusion of a contract with the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx did add a lot of things to the panel.

In his "Status" column, there is an additional "Contract" status -

[Ancient Dragon Contract·Quesanx (stable, permanent, unremovable)]

[You have signed a contract with the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx. ]

[He grants you new power—your all attributes gain an additional 0.1 times increase. ]

[Under the joint witness of [Authority] and [Glory], this contract cannot be violated - if it is determined that either party has voluntarily broken the oath, they will be punished for breaking the oath, and the upper limits of "Health Value", "Mana Value", "Physical Attack" and "Spell Attack" will be reduced by half, and the penalty value will be restored by 1%~2% year by year. ]

【…】

The price of breaking your promise is quite high...

Luo Xiu's eyes had become deep at this moment, and this was actually the first time he swore an oath using his "real name".

The "contract status" shown on the panel was within Luo Xiu's expectations.

As for the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx, He actually also obtained such restrictions. For Luo Xiu, this can also be regarded as the source of trust that he and the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx can build together.

but.

In fact, no matter what the price of "breaking the oath" is, just by signing a contract with the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx, you can get an additional 0.1 times increase in all attributes, which is actually sweet enough.

And if the extreme situation that requires "breaking the oath" really happens, then we can think of other ways at that time... In the knowledge reserves of "God's Destiny" that Luo Xiu possessed in his previous life, it is not that there is no way to circumvent it, it's just more troublesome.

And this is only a guarantee of a retreat. At least for now, he has no intention of "breaking his oath".

"..."

Luo Xiu was thinking about this.

He browsed through his own panel from beginning to end again, then closed it and opened the panel of the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx instead.

After signing a contract with Him, there was no longer any room for hiding the Ancient Dragon Quesanx's faceplate from Him.

The specific values ​​of the "Constitution" and "Wisdom" attributes that were previously invisible, as well as the various abilities possessed by the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx, can now be seen.

Compared to the numerical changes on his panel, Luo Xiu is actually more concerned about the strength of the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx, with whom he had just signed a contract.

He could not wait to start carefully browsing the panel of the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx that appeared before him.
