Chapter 1212 Contract
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Xiao Jie immediately closed her eyes and concentrated, then soon opened them again and said in surprise: "There is no contract mark on my body..."
"Is that really the case? After being stripped of her power by the mysterious being, Xiao Jie, who was only at the fifth level, automatically cancelled the contract that was already incomplete. Perhaps it was precisely because the contract was incomplete that the mysterious being was able to take advantage of the situation and ultimately successfully stripped Xiao Jie of her power."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao didn't wait for Xiao Jie to finish her words, and immediately said to the latter: "Then let's get started."
"It is my great honor to be your exclusive item!"
Xiao Jie did not hesitate. Golden light flashed all around her, and she turned into a fist-sized, crystal clear, colorless, translucent gem, floating in front of Lei Xiao.
Lei Xiao was no stranger to this kind of scene.
Although he had never signed a contract with the [God's Stone], he had experienced the signing process of Sarah, Erza, and Ariel, so he was familiar with everything.
"You despicable scum from another world, don't even think about playing tricks on me!"
With an angry roar, the giant sickle of the mysterious existence shattered the space and came rushing over.
Through Lei Xiao's series of actions, he obviously realized the former's intention.
"Unfortunately, no one can hinder the signing of the contract for the God Stone."
Lei Xiao stretched out his hand and tightly grasped the flawless gem in front of him.
The moment Lei Xiao touched the gem, an extremely dazzling golden light flashed out, completely enveloping Lei Xiao.
Lei Xiao had already discovered this by observing the signing process of Ariel and others.
Before the contract is signed, the holder and the [God's Stone] will be in an unbreakable golden absolute defense barrier.
boom!
As expected, there was a loud bang of energy collision, and the sharp blade of the mysterious existence's giant sickle was blocked as soon as it touched the golden light, and it could not get close to Lei Xiao at all.
"Don't think you can stop me, you tiny ant!"
The mysterious existence's face was distorted, and his hostility suddenly surged. The giant sickle swung out countless sharp black energy waves, continuing to try to break the golden barrier that enveloped Lei Xiao.
At the same time as the mysterious being was attacking frantically, Lei Xiao felt that he was instantly standing in a wonderful world shrouded in fog.
The sky here is clear and starry, and there are all kinds of beautiful buildings everywhere. Various round, pointed and even polygonal towering spires are mixed in the huge building complex, which can be said to be boundless.
Surprised, Lei Xiao focused his mind and wanted to observe the buildings carefully, but everything was shrouded in the swirling fog around him, and he could only see vague outlines.
Lei Xiao could even hear it vaguely.
Deep and powerful bells, melodious songs and tunes, as well as waves of incomprehensible whispers came from the huge buildings, but they soon disappeared.
When Lei Xiao came back to his senses, all he saw before his eyes was the endless shining golden light and Xiao Jie who had transformed into a human form again.
Xiao Jie's fair face had a solemn expression. Although she didn't say a word, Lei Xiao felt that he had some kind of magical resonance with her and could feel that she was chanting a vow.
This wonderful feeling was very similar to the communication with the Pelican Princess just now, but it went a step further.
"…The origin of all things, the source of all laws, the root of all phenomena in the world, are all fixed rules, all can be corrected. In the name of the gods, I will conclude a sacred contract with you, dedicating my power to you, helping you pursue the truth, the truth is eternal!"
As Xiao Jie's solemn and powerful voice fell, a large amount of knowledge flooded into Lei Xiao's mind like a huge wave.
As his head swelled slightly, Lei Xiao felt a sense of sudden enlightenment, as if he had learned a skill scroll. He knew that this was the initial "divine revelation".
Through old Roy's explanation and Ariel and the other two's description of the signing of the contract, Lei Xiao was also familiar with this process.
It is worth mentioning that the hazy fairyland-like scene that I saw at the beginning was not in everyone’s description.
"Could it be that what I saw at the beginning was part of the realm of God? Why am I the only one who can see it?"
Lei Xiao had no time to think about anything else, the knowledge that had just flooded into his mind emerged one after another.
As expected, the first explanation that appeared among them was the [God's Stone].
[God's Stone] is a necessary item for pursuing the truth of the world and is hidden in various places in the world.
The truth of the world, the truth of the era forgotten by all races three thousand years ago, the root of destruction, oblivion, emptiness, distance, and disorder.
The "Relics of the Old Contract", the remains of all races scattered in the blank era, are the "Key to Truth" that opens the "Gate of Truth" and are the cornerstone to the truth.
The "Gate of Truth", where the "Stone of God" is hidden, is unpredictable and elusive, with both danger and opportunity. It is a holy place for the wise and a burial place for the foolish.
Lei Xiao felt these already familiar secret knowledge one by one, and then he was surprised to find out.
Behind this knowledge, there is actually a series of place names, regions, and even names that I am not familiar with or even completely unfamiliar with.
These appear to be the locations where other Keys of Truth are buried, as well as the holders of other parts of the God's Stone.
"Is this a new 'divine revelation'? Is it because my subordinates and I have collected a certain number of 'divine stones' that we have received a new hint?"
"After all, judging from the content of the contract that just came to my mind, the contract signed with the [God's Stone] is almost the same as the master-servant contract signed by the subordinate. As the master, I am naturally the master of the subordinate servant."
Lei Xiao had just thought of this in his mind when the scene around him changed again in an instant. This time, in addition to Xiao Jie in front of him, what caught Lei Xiao's eyes was an endless pure white space.
Lei Xiao had also heard of this scene. It was the place where the [God's Stone] was chosen to form the secret technique.
Through his understanding of the [God's Stone] over this period of time, Lei Xiao has already learned about it.
Although the stone elves master more than one magic, and can use it freely according to the situation on the battlefield, it often requires the consumption of more energy, and like ordinary strong people, they need to chant and prepare before casting.
However, the secret method of forming the God's Stone consumes very little energy and is activated instantly like a magic scroll. It does not require chanting or other preparations. This is the magic of the secret method.
Furthermore, the formation of the secret method can bring out the maximum power of the [God's Stone], which is often the key to victory on the battlefield.
For example, Xiao Huan's illusion army and Xiao Zhao's summoning army have won us many advantages and even reversed the situation.
According to Erza's description of constructing the secret technique, although she felt that it took a lot of time to construct it, in fact, from the outside world's perspective, it was just a moment.
So, even though time is tight at the moment, I still have enough time to complete all of this.
"Master, I am good at creating various types of magic barriers, but I am best at absolute defense barriers and absolute confinement barriers. Please set up a special secret method for me. This is the last step in signing the contract."
Xiao Jie's cheeks were slightly red, and she touched her chest and saluted Lei Xiao and said, "Then, I will be the master's exclusive property."
“That’s a rather ambiguous way of expressing it.”
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and then his expression became serious again.
Needless to say, Xiaojie's ability to construct barriers is something I have seen many times since I met her.
What's more, the other controlled stone elves are currently able to suppress all our members except themselves.
Although the energy blessing of the forbidden tree is indispensable, the fact that they were able to hold off the three old men, who were blessed with sixth-level equipment, sixth-level potions, and enhancement scrolls, is already extremely impressive.
What he needed to do now was to choose whether to form an absolute defense barrier to resist attacks, or an absolute confinement barrier to restrain the opponent.
"The absolute defense barrier is very useful. It can protect me, my subordinates, and even more people to the greatest extent possible, and turn it into a powerful attack for the opponent. It can be called a life-saving trump card."
"Through this series of battles, it is not difficult to see that the cage-like absolute confinement barrier can also trap the opponent in many cases, providing us with a great strategic advantage. Coupled with the gravity suppression and force unloading effects, it can make it even more difficult for the opponent to break free."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao frowned slightly.
From this, it is not difficult to see that whether it is the absolute defense barrier or the absolute confinement barrier, it will be of great help to oneself, and it is really difficult to make a decision for a while.
Just when Lei Xiao was hesitating, Xiao Jie's clear voice rang out again.
"Master, since I am at the sixth level, I can master one more skill than the fifth-level stone elves. In other words, I can learn two secret techniques!"
Lei Xiao's dark eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Then what is there to hesitate about? Just build one absolute defense barrier and one absolute confinement barrier!"
After saying that, Lei Xiao closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to form his own absolute defense barrier.
For a moment, Lei Xiao was like observing from the top of the Tower of Vision, and instantly switched to the third perspective, looking down at the entire pure white space.
"Xiao Jie, adjust the scale of your absolute defense barrier to the maximum."
Under Lei Xiao's command, a giant absolute defense barrier large enough to cover a large city instantly condensed and took shape in the pure white space. This was obviously a preview of a special skill.
"Xiao Jie, in addition to the normal functions of the absolute defense barrier, can you add other functions to it?"
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then asked again.
"Master, I can add many effects, but each secret method can only take effect on three additional effects."
Xiao Jie's respectful voice immediately sounded and began to introduce in detail.
Lei Xiao learned about it through Xiao Jie's introduction.
Among these special effects that can be added, there is not only a built-in energy supply array that allows other strong people on our side to participate in the energy supply, further improving the strength of the absolute defense barrier.
It also has the energy-gathering effect of speeding up the energy recovery of our personnel within the barrier, the cohesion effect of strengthening the attack power of our personnel within the barrier, and even the recovery effect of speeding up the healing of injuries of our personnel within the barrier and the purification effect to a certain extent.
In addition to these enhanced effects, there are also special additional effects such as the ability to become instantly invisible as if in a place favored by God. There are so many varieties that it is dazzling.
After careful consideration, Lei Xiao finally chose to build in hundreds of energy-supply arrays to further enhance the strength of the barrier, the large-scale healing and purification effects within the barrier, and the invisibility function.
Needless to say, the first one, enhancing the strength of the barrier, is the key to resisting powerful enemies.
The second is the large-scale healing effect, which is also our current shortcoming.
The third invisibility effect is equally important.
Although the Land of God's Favor also has similar functions, in some special areas such as narrow terrains and caves that the Land of God's Favor cannot reach, combined with our illusions, it may be able to achieve unexpected results.
As for those skills with buff effects, I can completely replace them with bulk potions and magic scrolls, so they are relatively not that important.
After all three effects are added, the first secret method is completed.
As for the name of the secret technique, Lei Xiao adopted Xiao Jie's suggestion and called it "Lord's Protection".
After that, Lei Xiao started to construct the second secret method without stopping.
Based on Xiaojie's introduction, Lei Xiao learned more.
The absolute confinement barrier can also add three additional effects. Lei Xiao finally chose gravity, force unloading and external energy supply array to increase strength.
After suffering many losses from the confinement magic array, Lei Xiao naturally knew which combination was the most powerful.
It is worth mentioning that the effective range of the confinement array does not need to be specified by Lei Xiao.
Xiao Jie will automatically adjust according to the number of imprisoned targets. It is not impossible to trap up to a dozen enemy legions.
"The name of the absolute confinement array should be "Lord's Binding"."
After arranging everything, Lei Xiao nodded to Xiao Jie.
"As you command, Lord, the contract has been signed. From this moment on, I, no, I, am your property."
Xiaojie's fair face was full of excitement, and a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from her slender body.
In another blink of an eye, Lei Xiao noticed it.
He was standing on the battlefield again, surrounded by golden light, and the [God's Stone] that he had been controlling in his hand began to tremble slowly.
As the shaking intensified, the movements of the other nine puppet stone elves not far away suddenly stopped, and thick black mist began to sizzle out of their bodies, as if they were being purified.
When the black fog completely dissipated, the nine puppet stone elves seemed to be summoned. They turned into a bright golden light and quickly gathered towards the [God's Stone] in Lei Xiao's hand. In just a moment, they merged into one with the [God's Stone] again.
Since all this happened in a flash, by the time everyone present reacted.
All the absolute confinement barriers and absolute defense barriers on the battlefield have disappeared, and the [God's Stone] in Lei Xiao's hand is emitting an even more dazzling light.
