Chapter 459: Victory by Contract

"Sinclair..."

When Cyrus saw the person behind him, he remained calm on the surface but was actually shocked in his heart.

This is Andre's secret safe house, and not many people should know about it.

Could it be Fernando? No... Fernando has his own safe house nearby and there is no way he would come to someone else's safe house. This is very unsafe.

So, Sinclair came here alone...

He deliberately followed Andre and hid his body. What did he want to do?

The scene of me being resurrected from Andre's body just now should have been seen by the other party.

Cyrus said calmly: "Did you see what happened just now?"

Sinclair nodded and said with a smile: "Yeah, after watching it from beginning to end, I have to say that the leader is really amazing. He was able to survive under the siege of seven domain wizards. It's really amazing."

"And he can be resurrected from the bodies of his own men. I just don't know if Andre knows this. If he doesn't, it's such a pity."

When Cyrus heard what Sinclair said, he knew that Sinclair had come with bad intentions today, because from the words of the man in front of him, he could tell that the other party should have known about the issue of the Justice Contract.

However, Cyrus still argued: "I did not erase Andre's soul. When I regain my strength, I can get out of this body."

There was a strange light flashing in Li Daoxian's narrowed eyes.

He clapped his hands and said with a smile, "As expected of the leader, he can speak half-truths without changing his expression, and he can even avoid violating the contract at all."

"You did not erase Andre's soul, but Andre's consciousness has been eaten away, and your soul is attached to it. It doesn't matter whether he is erased or not, he is dead anyway."

"Once your strength is restored, the leader will naturally leave the host's body."

"Nothing in the world is everlasting. The so-called eternal life brought by jade is nothing more than a more subtle possession."

Cyrus' eyes narrowed.

I really underestimated him. It seems that Sinclair is not an ordinary person either.

When Fernando said he wanted to recruit him, he only considered him a temporary member. Now it seems that Fernando probably had other plans.

Now he was in a bad state, his soul was damaged, and his strength was greatly reduced. Facing Sinclair, he was far less confident than before.

The other party chose this time to launch the attack, which really showed that they had found the right opportunity.

Cyrus kept his expression calm and said, "Even if you know all this, what does it matter? Do you want to fight me?"

Li Daoxian smiled and said, "Captain, what are you talking about?"

"Haven't we already been enemies for a long time? It was already destined the moment you tried to attack me. How can the hunter and the prey coexist peacefully?"

Li Daoxian snapped his fingers, and runes circulated in the safe house, almost forming several magic circles for confinement and restriction.

Countless black tentacles spread out from Li Daoxian's body. These vine-like tentacles quickly formed a new barrier along the barrier formation.

Li Daoxian said in a leisurely tone: "I didn't expect that an independently constructed domain would be so attractive to you. It even made you eager to use magic tools to test me."

"Is it because at that time, you already wanted to prepare for what would happen six months later?"

Cyrus's expression did not change at all.

But he was extremely shocked: Sinclair could actually detect that his desire to spar was guided by the magic weapon? Moreover, he had not told anyone about his subsequent plans, so why did Sinclair know this?

How did Sinclair know this?

But... these are no longer important now. Once I get out of the postponement situation, I will have plenty of time to investigate.

Cyrus showed a sneer on his face: "So what if you know? Let me remind you that you are a member of the Emerald Thieves, and I am the leader of the Emerald Thieves. As long as the contract witnessed by justice still exists, you will never be able to do anything to me."

"You should have realized that justice is a concept and a rule. Even a domain wizard cannot violate justice."

"You can't do anything to me."

At this point, Cyrus' tone softened, and his handsome face showed his usual calmness:

"I'll give you a choice. No matter what Fernando said to you, it doesn't matter. If you help me get through this difficult time, I can not only sign a non-aggression agreement with you under the witness of justice, but also provide you with a large amount of rare resources and information."

"Your previous words have already proved that you don't understand the scarcity of the domain you have built. Do you know why people like us want to build our own domain? There are many things involved behind this, and it took me a long time to sort it out... As long as you help me, I can share it with you."

"Besides that, I can also make some introductions for you. I have someone in the Wizarding Association..."

Li Daoxian paused, an interested look on his face: "Since you have connections in the Wizard Association, why did it become like this today? The Emerald Thieves were almost wiped out."

When Cyrus saw Sinclair take over the conversation, he immediately realized that he was interested in this aspect, so he didn't mind saying a few more words here:

"This incident was just an accident, but as long as I'm alive, their plans are doomed to fail. In other words, the initiative is now in my hands. If those guys want to stay in their positions, they have no choice but to listen to us."

Li Daoxian also understood: "It seems that you have the leverage over many people."

Cyrus said noncommittally: "Otherwise, how could the Emerald Thieves have been active for so long... This is just a means of self-preservation."

At this point, Cyrus seemed to be expressing his true feelings, and sighed: "The Wizard Association is like a sky curtain. As long as you want to grow upward, you will definitely touch them, whether you like it or not."

"My approach is the best outcome after weighing all the options."

"I have to say, Sinclair, your perception is very sharp. You have not been blinded by the gift and are able to keenly perceive the essence of the Justice Contract. This is what makes you different."

"You have great talent and a bright future. If you are given enough support, you can soar to the sky. I can see unlimited possibilities in you. Accept my help, and you can greatly shorten the time it takes to realize your talent."

"Dealing with the Wizarding Association is not an easy task. It took me a lot of time to find the right person..."

Cyrus looked at Sinclair and continued, "Well, now that I've said so much, it's time for you to make your decision, Sinclair."

"Whether you cooperate with me or face death is up to you."

Cyrus placed the chips on the table one by one. The benefits of cooperation between the two would far outweigh killing each other. He was sure that Sinclair would make the right choice, just like... he had done with those members before.

Cyrus sneered in his heart. The figure of Sinclair in front of him overlapped with those members in his memory.

Cotillard, Celine, Fernando and the Killer...

They all had glimpses of the truth, but they made the right decision in the face of common interests.

Cyrus believed that the people in front of him were no exception. Although they seemed to have the initiative to choose, in fact, they only had one path, the path they had drawn for themselves. The atmosphere froze in an instant.

Li Daoxian raised his head and looked at the sky. After a long silence, he said, "What a confident statement. He is clearly a bird in a cage, but he has an unusual confidence, as if he is a king in a palace."

Cyrus frowned and was about to say something when he heard the man in front of him continue:

"It's just that I'm particularly hungry today."

As the last word fell, Cyrus felt something was wrong.

The murderous intent around him was barely concealed. He was shocked and angry, and shouted loudly: "Sinclair, you are crazy. You will violate the contract if you do this."

Li Daoxian smiled and said, "Really? Then how did the captain get around the contractual punishment when he attacked his own members?"

Cyrus' pupils contracted, and he immediately thought of the problem.

He was the first person to sign a contract with "justice", that is, the first contractor.

His authority is far greater than that of others.

He tried to call upon the Contract of Justice, but found that his authority had been reduced without any notice.

There is only one situation...

Li Daoxian looked at the contract that appeared in front of him, then confirmed it with a smile.

Then, the same information appeared in front of Cyrus.

[The contract decision is in progress. Two contractors are competing for the identity of "Anchor of Justice". The winner will represent the initial core and carrier of "Justice". 】

Cyrus smiled and said, "I see. Is this what you rely on? Do you think you are the only one who discovered this function? Fernando and the others discovered it a long time ago, but do you know why they didn't try it?"

"Because the loser will be sacrificed in this ceremony."

"That's because I am the embodiment of justice. As a low-level wizard, I signed a contract with the concept of justice. No one understands justice better than me!"

When his family was destroyed, Cyrus drifted to Abisowol and lived a miserable life.

The turning point is the contract of justice.

He was struggling to survive, but in the chaotic night, as a low-level wizard, he made an incredible contract with "justice" by virtue of his interpretation and perfect fit with justice, and thus rose rapidly.

Cyrus originally thought that Sinclair had prepared some means to tear up the contract, but he didn't expect it to be this way.

As he spoke, he stared at Sinclair, trying to read panic on his face, but he saw no clues.

Just seeing the other person's smiling expression, for some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

No, I can't doubt myself, he is just pretending to be calm.

Cyrus snorted.

No matter what Cyrus thought, the contract decisive battle that had already been launched was slowly unfolding between the two of them.

As the original first arbitrator, the Anchor of Justice, he could only accept the contract decision initiated by other contractors.

They were clearly inside a safe house, and the roof was clearly pitch black, but at this moment it seemed as if all the starlight in the sky had gathered above their heads, forming a supreme dome, from which faint gazes could be seen.

This is the real rule, an existence at a higher level than the domain, the true law governing the operation of all things in the world - a concept of pure "justice", majestic, indifferent and inviolable, appearing above the two of them, watching this duel.

The power of the familiar contract interweaves the wills of the two people.

At the moment of the collision, Li Daoxian seemed to hear an ancient and profound bell ringing, and the surrounding space began to collapse, replaced by a solemn and magnificent temple.

The stone pillar in the center of the hall is engraved with dense text, recording the signing and implementation of countless just contracts.

Countless reliefs appeared, all of which were records of all those who were judged under the concept of justice. Just by looking at these reliefs, one could vaguely feel that the actions of all living beings were being measured and recorded under the gaze of "justice".

[The first one is a sense of justice.]

[Candidates' justice concept, purity of will, soul compatibility and other factors will be evaluated. Only those who meet the original intention of "justice" can continue with the subsequent tests. ]

In the center of this hall of justice, a pure white light fell from the sky, forming a blazing ring, like the sun, emitting a dazzling light that was impossible to look directly at.

This light echoed the contract between the two people and gradually merged into their bodies. The fusion of each ray of light would collide and splash countless white spots of light, as if sparks were burning.

Cyrus opened his arms. Even though his current body was not his own and his soul was not complete, his soul was still burning quietly in the white light, illuminating his entire body and emitting a pure white glow.

With a soul like a firefly, he carries justice like a torch, which is enough to show that Cyrus's adaptability to justice has reached an astonishing level.

This is also the reason why Cyrus has always been the "spokesperson for justice".

Sinclair thought that he could defeat me because his soul was damaged and his body was destroyed, but he didn't know that the so-called justice is a competition of the essence of the soul. Even with a broken soul, I can show perfect adaptability.

Cyrus felt that his soul had reached its limit, so he slowly opened his eyes and looked to the other side.

Just by looking at it, he exclaimed: "How is it possible?"

Li Daoxian's soul was transformed in the white light. The white light that was originally used to carry the power of justice now bloomed with gorgeous and dazzling colors.

Cyrus couldn't believe it: "How is it possible? Doesn't this guy have any selfish motives? How could there be such a person?"

Of course he knew what the scene before him meant...

Because he once possessed such a magnificent glow, which is of extremely high purity, a halo that can only be born when the soul holds on to firm and pure beliefs.

of course……

It is also the best food for justice...
