Chapter 311 Goodbye

Amber Xiu really didn't expect that the inspection of tieflings is so strict now. He also lamented that he hadn't been back for hundreds of years and couldn't even recognize the appearance of his hometown.

Amber Xiu explained to the tiefling: "I haven't been back to Red River Town for many years. Maybe it has changed a lot, but I won't make it difficult for you. Just tell me how to inspect it."

The tiefling wizard breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Amber Xiu: "It's not a big deal. Here is a contract that lists all the terms that are not allowed. Just sign the contract."

Amber Xiu took the magic contract and checked it carefully.

The terms are not excessive. It is not allowed to violate the laws of the kingdom and do anything that endangers the security of the kingdom. Once violated, the punishment is not serious. A red light column will be generated above the head, which can be seen from a long distance.

This is actually a protective measure. The lawbreakers can be found at the first time and then caught to reduce losses.

This seems reasonable, if there is no such special pattern.

Amber pointed at the strange patterns on the contract and asked, "What are these?"

The tiefling explained, "These are anti-counterfeiting labels, so that no one can forge our contract and cause trouble for us."

"Really?"

Amber laughed and performed mind detection on the tiefling.

The result was that the tiefling was consistent in his words and thought that these patterns were anti-counterfeiting labels. It was probably his superior who told him.

Amber sighed. This kingdom was indeed in trouble. The soldiers below didn't know that these patterns were the words of the devil in hell.

The original reasonable contract was completely changed after adding these devil words.

The content of the contract became that every day in the Kingdom of Unholy Songs, one illegal act must be stopped, otherwise it would violate the contract and the soul would be taken away by the devil.

This rule is outrageous. You have to maintain law and order when you come to travel, and what if you don't encounter any illegal acts?

The devil's contract doesn't care about that. It has a strong coercive force. If Amber Xiu signed his name, when the contract came into effect, he would at most have a chance to struggle. If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely go to hell.

"How long has this contract been in effect?" Amber Xiu asked.

The tiefling replied, "It's only been a few months, but the inspection has been strict recently, and there are fewer and fewer outsiders, so it's rarely used."

"If you don't sign it, you can't enter, right?"

"Sorry, this is the rule."

"Okay, I'll sign it."

Amber Xiu picked up the pen and left a flowing signature on the contract.

The tiefling took a look and said respectfully, "Thank you for your cooperation, Master Arthas."

Amber Xiu nodded and left the teleportation array smoothly.

Signing a pseudonym on the devil's contract doesn't make much sense, because the contract only requires you to sign actively, not your real name. The devils in hell only care about their real names, but don't care about the names of the victims.

Therefore, Amber Xiu did not sign a false name. He used an illusion to make others think that he signed his name, but in fact, he did not write anything.

I don’t know if it is an illusion, but after Lady Mist became a god, the effect of this real illusion spell of Leila seemed to be a little stronger. Amber Xiu did not spend much magic power to make all the tieflings present fall into illusions.

"I heard that after sleeping with the goddess of magic, all the spells you master will become stronger. According to the same principle, if you sleep with Lady Mist... Tsk, it’s okay to sacrifice yourself when necessary."

Putting aside the idea of ​​sacrificing yourself for the time being, Amber Xiu walked into the border city of Black Gate.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, which seemed a bit depressed. Amber Xiu went straight to the tavern and walked in, and found that there were few adventurers inside.

Recalling the previous devil contract, Amber Xiu laughed.

"It seems that many people have been fooled. Hell has made a lot of money this time."

Amber Xiu came to the bar and said to the bartender: "Give me a glass of Midnight Fire."

The bartender asked in confusion: "Guest, I have never heard of this kind of wine. Is it a specialty of other places?"

He has worked here for almost ten years, and he has never heard of this name of wine.

The tiefling bartender looked at Amber Xiu in confusion. This guest looked very young. Could it be that he was the first time to come to the bar, so he made up a random name for the wine to show off?

Amber Xiu was about to explain, and an old man next to him said: "One portion of blackthorn wine and malt beer, add devil pepper powder and stir, this is Midnight Fire, this wine is only liked by antiques hundreds of years ago."

The bartender was stunned for a moment. The old man next to him was a frequent visitor to the tavern, and he should not join hands with this young man to deceive him. The bartender followed the old man's instructions and began to mix this glass of "Midnight Fire".

Amber Xiu stretched out his hand and quietly opened the soundproof barrier, then turned his head and said to the old man: "Vladimir?"

The old man was Mr. Doom, and it seemed that he had been waiting for Amber Xiu here for a long time.

Mr. Doom said indifferently: "I haven't heard this name for many years."

Amber Xiu comforted him, "It's okay. I can call you a few more times these days. Come to me next time if you want to hear it. Just call my name. I won't charge you."

Mr. Doom glared at Amber Xiu. This lich always speaks so irritatingly!

"Didn't I tell you it would be two months later? It's only been half a month and you're here?! You bastard, will you never keep your promise?"

Amber Xiu laughed and said, "Don't be so excited. You're already old. I don't want to make you a lich. However, you can predict that I will appear here, and I don't have any sense... Brother, you are finally better than me."

Mr. Doom snorted coldly and said angrily, "I have always been better than you! That time you cheated, otherwise I would have won!"

"Okay, you win. I'm here to help you save world. The Tiefling Kingdom seems to be in big trouble. "

Amber Xiu told Mr. Doom what he encountered at the teleportation array, and said with emotion: "Signing a contract with the devil, these tieflings are really courting death. Are they really not afraid of the punishment of the gods?"

Mr. Doom was helpless: "Yes, that's what I'm worried about."

"Such a big decision cannot be completed by one person. Can most of the members of the Injustice Council agree?"

Amber Xiu remembered that their Injustice Council had thirteen seats. It's impossible that more than half of them agreed to this method, right?

Mr. Doom said helplessly: "I don't know. I have been away from the court for a long time. They didn't trust me from the beginning, so it was difficult for me to get accurate information. "

When a prophet says that he can't get accurate information, it means that the goddess of fate does not allow him to spy on these, otherwise he can get the result by divination.

Amber Xiu naturally understood this truth and immediately felt very troublesome.

"If fate does not allow us to get the answer easily, it means that the impact of this answer is very great. Brother, let me ask a question first. Who proposed this extreme measure in the first place?"

"Domino Lawley, she is the oldest member of the Unjust Council and a Hell Knight who once returned from Hell. But in the past few hundred years, she changed her career and became an alchemist."

"Domino Lawley? I know this name. She is a famous person. She was on the list of famous scholars in the Alchemy City at the time, and she was ranked very high. A Hell Knight became an unclean and also changed his job to an alchemist? This sounds a bit wrong."

Mr. Doom shook his head and said, "I don't know. I can't sense any relevant information."

Amber sighed and said, "Vladimir, you have indeed gone further than me on the road of fate, but you rely too much on this power. Can't you use your brain to think?"

Mr. Doom was silent. Perhaps this is the price of the prophecy mage.

When you face a difficult problem, if the correct answer automatically appears in front of you, what else can you do besides copying it?

Mr. Doom had tried to solve the problem in another way, but he often found that his method was far less simple and direct than what fate had revealed. After hundreds of years, this became a habit. Once the goddess of fate no longer gave him an answer, he was confused.

Amber Xiu did not continue to mock his senior brother, but continued to ask: "What do you mean by two months later?"

Mr. Doom said calmly: "I predicted the day when Ryan attacked."

Amber Xiu nodded, and his guess was almost the same. These two months were the time he delayed, but it was only that long at most. With Mr. Doom's confirmation, it seemed that Ryan's invasion was a foregone conclusion and a future that could not be changed.

"Okay, then let me solve the problem of tieflings in this month or so. At least before the war, we don't need to worry about the tiefling kingdom falling into hell."

Mr. Doom frowned and said, "Just you? The goddess of fate doesn't let me see the future of the kingdom. Do you think you can do it?"

"Look at you, always thinking about copying answers. I have my own way."

Perhaps it has something to do with his origin. Nobles like Mr. Doom don't need to think too much since childhood. After getting the power of fate, they have been using it all the time, and it has always been easy to use without any pressure.

Amber Xiu was born in poverty and encountered countless troubles. He understood that he might encounter any troubles when taking risks, so it is better to have more skills and know a little about everything. It is safer to have different solutions to the same problem.

Mr. Doom had no other choice but to ask Amber to come, and asked, "What do you need?"

"First, I need all the information about Domino Lawley, and second, I need you to introduce me to the Unjust Council."

Mr. Doom nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow, I can do both for you."

"That's it."

Amber smiled and picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and had a long-lost spicy taste. Although the effect of using the soul perception is completely different, it still reminds him of the past.

Mr. Doom asked, "Why did you light Midnight Flowing Fire? Didn't you say that this wine is so spicy?"

"Because you were the first one to buy me a drink. Wasn't it just to tease me? After so many years, I still miss it." Amber Xiu finished the wine in the glass, and then said to Mr. Doom, "Thank you, brother."

Mr. Doom asked curiously, "Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for saving Harvey. If you hadn't been waiting for him here, he wouldn't have been able to return within a day and would have gone to hell long ago." Amber Xiu said.

Since everyone who enters the city has to sign a contract, Harvey must have signed it. This kid probably didn't understand the devil's words on it and was cheated. Thanks to Mr. Doom, otherwise Harvey would have gone to hell if he stayed here for more than a day.

After listening to Mr. Doom, he was silent for a long time, and then said, "I haven't found a suitable apprentice in my life, but you, a bastard, can find such a genius apprentice. I can't bear to see such a genius die like this."

Mr. Doom said with a little sadness, "It seems that no matter how hard I try, the goddess of fate loves you the most."
