Chapter 0449: The Rite of the Holy Judgement (I)



"Mr. Fang Zheng is so reckless."

Sitting in the audience, looking at the crowd in front of him, Astor frowned and sighed softly. In fact, when Lieutenant General John made this request, he knew that the situation was not good. But what Astor didn't expect was that Fang Zheng's reaction was faster than he thought. Before he could interrupt the other party, Fang Zheng nodded and agreed.

"Haha, don't be so anxious..."

Compared to Astor, Bishop Karl seemed very calm.

"I know Fang Zheng very well. He never does anything without preparation. I am sure that since Mr. Fang Zheng agreed to the other party's request, it means that he must be quite confident."

"That being said..."

Although he still felt a little uneasy, Aster didn't say much, but just looked at the crowd in front of him.

In order to ensure the fairness of the "Ceremony of Holy Judgment", the ceremony of the Holy Judgment will be held in a special demiplane. This demiplane was created by the powerful beings of the four countries using the power of arcane. Its essence is similar to the competitive plane where Fang Zheng played the ladder in the White Tower, but this demiplane was specially created for the Holy Judgment Ceremony and is generally not easily opened.

“It really makes me miss it.”

While stroking his beard, Bishop Karl showed a nostalgic expression.

"I remember the last time the Holy Judgment Ceremony was held was about twenty years ago..."

"It seemed that the Lord of the Principality of Heavenly Sword and the Patriarch of the Moster Family were fighting for a lady? It's still interesting to think about it now, especially when the lady they were fighting for actually fell into the arms of another woman... Well, it's really too dramatic when I think about it now."

As if recalling the situation at that time, Bishop Karl couldn't help but show a bit of amusement on his face. That incident was also quite famous in the high-level circle. Two men fought to the death for a woman. In the end, when they invited the woman to the stage, the other party said in a confused look that I already have someone else in my heart...

At that time, this incident made many people laugh. You guys were having so much fun fighting, but you didn't even ask the real owner? How confident are you!

But this time, the situation is different.

At this moment, the crowd began to stir, and then Lieutenant General John and the fat representative Caron walked out of the crowd. They had smiles on their faces, full of confidence, and whispered something to each other from time to time.

"It seems that the Fire Nation and the Wealth Nation are well prepared this time."

Looking at Lieutenant General John's expression, Astor also had a gloomy face. He lowered his voice and said something to Bishop Karl, and Bishop Karl nodded slightly.

"Of course, it seems that they have already made plans. If it weren't for the intervention of Mr. Fang Zheng, these guys would have targeted us."

While the two were talking, Fang Zheng also walked out from the other side. Like Lieutenant General John, he also had a smile on his face. The three of them walked to the center of the crowd in full view of everyone. There stood a mage in a white robe. Bishop Karl also straightened his robe and walked to the center of the crowd.

The first step of the "Ceremony of Holy Judgment" is to obtain permission before opening the door to the Holy Arbitration Field. Of course, before that, they must ensure that this is a fair and just duel.

"Mr. Fang Zheng."

"Bishop Karl."

Seeing the old vampire bishop smiling at him, Fang Zheng nodded at him. He had a good impression of the old bishop, but he didn't expect to meet him here. However, if the temple wanted to win him over, it would not be strange to send someone related to him here.

"Well, let's begin the ceremony."

After watching the two of them greet each other, Douglas coughed and then spoke. He then looked at Lieutenant General John and the fat representative opposite him.

"I, Douglas Whitegate, on behalf of the Magic Country of Leon, agree to the holding of this Holy Judgment Ceremony."

"I, Carl D. Quinn, on behalf of the Holy Kingdom of Ceres, agree to the holding of this Holy Judgment Ceremony."

"I, John Cliff, on behalf of the Fire Nation Vanir, agree to the holding of this Holy Judgment Ceremony."

"I, Ant Domus, on behalf of the country of wealth, Kalon, agree to the holding of this Holy Judgment Ceremony."

The representatives of the four countries finished their statements at the same time and then looked at Fang Zheng. Facing the gazes of the crowd, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.

"Before that, there is one thing I need to confirm."

"What is it? Mr. Fang Zheng?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Lieutenant General John raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You are not going to regret it, are you?"

"Of course not."

Fang Zheng waved his hand and continued speaking.

"I want to ask, this Holy Judgment Ceremony is attended by me, the Fire Nation, and the Wealth Nation, right?"

"That's right."

Hearing this, the fat representative from the country of wealth nodded.

"Well, there is one thing I need to confirm first. According to the rules of the Holy Judgment Ceremony, the loser must satisfy the requirements of the winner. So...if I fail, do I have to satisfy the requirements of both the Fire Nation and the Wealth Nation at the same time?"

"this……"

Hearing this question, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they looked at each other. It must be said that this is indeed a problem. You know, the "Holy Judgment Ceremony" proposed by the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wealth was originally prepared for the Kingdom of Holy Religion and the Kingdom of Magic. So they didn't think too much about this issue, but now that Fang Zheng reminded them, they realized that there is such a problem.

"So what is your opinion, Mr. Fang Zheng?"

Douglas looked at Fang Zheng with a smile, and it was obvious that he was going to be a spectator watching from the side. As for Fang Zheng, he spread his hands.

"It's very simple. If I lose, I will fulfill one wish each from the Fire Nation and the Wealth Nation. But on the other hand, if I win, I will ask the Fire Nation and the Wealth Nation to each fulfill one wish of mine... I think this is a very fair and reasonable request."

"this……"

Hearing this, Lieutenant General John and the fat representative's faces changed slightly. They looked at each other and saw the uneasiness in each other's hearts. The people present were not fools. They certainly understood why Fang Zheng would make such a suggestion. On the surface, this was quite disadvantageous to Fang Zheng, but on the other hand, it also showed that Fang Zheng was absolutely sure that he would win. Otherwise, he would never have made such a request that seemed to have no benefit to him.

But…what to do?

Bishop Karl and Master Douglas quietly watched the show. If this request was made by Lieutenant General John and his men, they would definitely object. But since it was proposed by Fang Zheng, they would not tear down their own people at this time. Now it depends on what choice Lieutenant General John and his men will make.

“…We agree with this suggestion.”

Finally, after discussing with his companions for a while, Lieutenant General John gritted his teeth and nodded to agree to Fang Zheng's proposal. Although he was also very uneasy, he felt relieved when he thought of the trump card that he and the Kingdom of Wealth had prepared.

Even if they accidentally lose the team competition, as long as they win the individual competition, the two sides will be considered a tie and the bet will be invalid. But if they win the team competition and the individual competition, then they can get double compensation!

As for losing? Impossible!

Thinking of the trump card in his hand, Lieutenant General John smiled.

That’s right, losing is absolutely impossible!

"very good."

After hearing Lieutenant General John's answer, Fang Zheng nodded with a playful smile.

"Then... I, Fang Zheng, on behalf of the Tiandao Palace, agree to the holding of this Holy Judgment Ceremony."
