The Bald Monk in the City

Chapter 685: The Final Scythe and the Contract (Two Updates!)

In a room in Isabella's palace, Yi Qiu was sitting cross-legged on the floor.

There is still some time before the start of the game, and he has already rested.

This is due to his deeper meditation skills, which can make him maintain vigorous vitality in a shorter period of time.

Moreover, the acquisition of an immortal body seemed to make his need for sleep even less.

Yi Qiu stretched out his right hand, and under the gaze of the golden eyes, there was a thin silver thread around his wrist:

This is a variant of the Alliance Pledge, which is not much different from the alliance contract in terms of function.

But in terms of its binding power, there is a very big difference.

Conventional alliance oaths all use some powerful gods or some great beings with the same nature as the witnesses of the oath, but this kind of contract is determined by the will of both parties.

Generally speaking, this kind of oath does not have much binding force.

For Yi Qiu, the contractual constraints he needs to bear come from Isabella's will to abide by the contract.

If she kept the contract, the oath would be able to guarantee its certain binding force.

But if she tried to violate it, then her contract with Yi Qiu would be weakened, and then completely destroyed.

However, this will not cause the oath on her body to disappear, she needs to fully bear the backlash from the power of the oath on her body.

The content of the oath signed by Yi Qiu and Isabella is not complicated, it simply limits the camps of both parties to be at least neutral.

After one party has committed an act of hostility against the other, the contract is terminated.

In addition to this, its greatest value may be that every other natural day, allies can be summoned once.

In a sense, Yi Qiu felt that this contract was somewhat similar to the Dragon Clan Covenant.

But Yi Qiu doesn't need jewelry or gold, and there are no relevant restrictions in the contract.

In other words, Yi Qiu can choose to respond to the call, or refuse.

Isabella said that if she needed it, she would reward Yi Qiu for his extraordinary knowledge.

As a royal descendant of an empire, she has enough resources in this regard.

She knew that what Yi Qiu needed was not those magic equipment or other materials, but he cared more about those more profound and powerful skills.

Yi Qiu touched his bald head, although there was a subtle sense of immediacy.

However, the insight into fate gave him some premonitions, so he finally agreed.

Of course, Isabella's final proposal was for the entire Extraordinary Empire, which was obviously directly rejected by Yi Qiu.

He does not deny that a powerful empire can indeed help him to some extent, but obviously it will bring more troubles.

In fact, as his spiritual world became deeper, he had no interest in the existence of such forces, organizations, or kingdoms at all.

What he cares more about is his own will and strength.

And sometimes, after these things are mixed with power, they will start to become muddy.

Maybe it will become more shining, but for Yi Qiu, it is still not worth the loss.

Forming a kingdom that compounded one's own will certainly seemed great and fun.

But for Yi Qiu, that is not his path, nor is it his favorite.

Just like encountering a half-cut log on the road, people walking alone can go straight through, and people riding bicycles can easily bypass it, but people driving cars need to pay more effort.

This is just a simple and not so precise metaphor, but to a certain extent, it can already reflect the inevitable contradiction.

Benefits and risks, authority and responsibility, have always been hand in hand.

When they appear independently and fragmented, often in the dark place behind them, there are scarlet eyes staring at everything...

…………

Welcome to the Finals of the Extraordinary Division of the Canyon Tournament, I am the host Anna!

In an oval-shaped half-plane, a human female located in the center of the plane: Starry Sky Singer-Anna Gillam is looking forward with a charming smile.

With the help of magical powers, her face and voice are perfectly conveyed to any audience who gazes at her.

As a grand event of the multiverse, although the qualifications for participation in the final auditorium are limited to a certain extent.

But at this moment, the entire demiplane is still filled with dense crowds of spectators.

There are even more viewers who are watching remotely through various channels on the integrated network.

The audience is located on the outer circle of the oval half-plane, and at the core of the entire half-plane, there is a huge area shrouded in a golden light curtain.

There is the battlefield where the contestants of the finals will duel!

The location of the singer of the stars, Anna Gillam, is on a suspended platform above the battlefield.

In addition to her as the host, there were several referees in robes on the entire platform.

They were all sent by the Church of the Final Scythe, and one of them was the chief judge who had reached the legendary level.

The Final Scythe is a neutral church with judgment and judgment as its main teachings.

There were rumors that they had some relationship with the goddess of wealth, but it was later confirmed to be rumors.

And this has finally created the current status of the final scythe, of course, this is naturally inseparable from the god system that held the Canyon Tournament.

After all, the god believed by the ultimate sickle belongs to one of them.

Today, eight teams will decide the final winner here...

With the voice of the star singer-Anna Gillam, the images of all the teams were projected on the sky of the demiplane.

And when the audience focuses on any team image, they will get the team's game record and current hero information.

At this time, all the contestants have entered the completely enclosed waiting area.

In order to prevent the emergence of certain special ability people from causing some unspecified influence, the finals of the Canyon Tournament did not have the agenda for contestants to speak.

After all the games are over, the final winner will have the opportunity to talk to all the audience.

This is an unprecedented opportunity for some players who can gain power through fame and recognition.

But so far, among the teams that can stand out in the finals of the Canyon Tournament and win the final victory, there are very few players in this regard.

The competition system for the finals of the Canyon Tournament is not exquisite. All teams will choose the final winner through a maximum of three matches.

It is said that the God of Judgment once expressed dissatisfaction with this, and he believed that such a rough method could not guarantee complete fairness.

However, considering that luck is also a powerful force and after negotiating with the related gods in several god systems, this rough competition system will continue in the end.

And with the cheers of the crowd resounding throughout the plane, the finals of the Canyon Tournament began...
