Chapter 311 Goodbye

Amber Xiu had never expected that the Tieflings' scrutiny would be so strict now. He also lamented that he had not been back for hundreds of years and could not even recognize the appearance of his hometown.

Amber 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 conduct the investigation."

The tiefling wizard breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Amber, "It's not a big deal. Here's a contract that lists all the terms that you're not allowed to do. All you have to do is sign the contract."

Amber took the magic contract and examined it carefully.

The terms are not excessive. They simply prohibit violating the laws of the kingdom and doing anything that endangers the security of the kingdom. Once violated, the punishment is not severe. A red beam of light will be generated above the head, which can be seen from a long distance.

This is actually a protective measure. Criminals can be discovered and caught at the first time to reduce losses.

This would seem reasonable, if the pattern wasn't so unusual.

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

The tiefling explained, "This is an anti-counterfeiting label to prevent someone from forging our contract and causing trouble for us."

"Yeah?"

Amber laughed and used mind detection on the tiefling.

It turned out that the tiefling was speaking his mind and he really believed that the patterns were anti-counterfeiting labels, probably because his superiors told him so.

Amber Xiu sighed. There was indeed something wrong with this kingdom. The soldiers below didn't know that these patterns were the words of the devil from hell.

The originally reasonable contract completely changed its nature after these devilish words were added.

The content of the contract becomes that every day in the Kingdom of Unholy Hymns, one illegal act must be stopped, otherwise the contract will be violated and the soul will be taken away by the devil.

This rule is outrageous. You have to maintain law and order when you come to travel. What if you don't encounter any illegal behavior? The devil's contract doesn't care about that. The coercive force is extremely strong. If Amber Xiu signs his name, when the contract takes effect, he will 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?" asked Amber Xiu.

The tiefling replied, "Only a few months, but the inspections have been stricter recently, and there are fewer and fewer outsiders, so it is rarely used."

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

"Sorry, that's the rule."

"Okay, I'll sign it."

Amber 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 nodded and left the teleportation array smoothly.

Signing a fictitious name on a devil's contract is meaningless, because the contract only requires your active signature, not your real name. The devils in hell only care about their own real names, not the names of their victims.

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

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

"I heard that after sleeping with the Goddess of Magic, all the spells you master will become stronger. By the same token, if you sleep with Lady Mist... Tsk, it's not impossible to make sacrifices when necessary."

Putting aside the idea of ​​self-sacrifice for the moment, Amberxiu walked into the border city of Black Gate.

There were not many people on the road, which seemed a bit desolate. Amberxiu went straight to the tavern and walked in, only to discover that there were few adventurers inside.

Recalling the previous devil's contract, Amber Xiu laughed.

"It seems that quite a few people have already fallen for it. This time, Hell must have made a lot of money."

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

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

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

The tiefling bartender looked at Amber Xiu in confusion. This customer looked very young. Could it be that he was the kind of person who came to the bar for the first time, so he just made up a random name for the drink to show off? Amber Xiu was about to explain, but an old man next to him said, "One portion of Blackthorn wine and one portion of malt beer, add devil pepper powder and stir, this is Midnight Flowing 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 pub. He would not team up with the young man to cheat him. The bartender followed the old man's instructions and began to mix this cup of "Midnight Fire".

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

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

Mr. Fortune said indifferently, "I haven't heard this name in 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. It's just a name. I won't charge you."

Mr. Doom glared at Amber. This lich always spoke in such an irritating way!

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

Amber Xiu laughed and said, "Don't be so excited. You are already old, and I don't want to turn you into 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. Luck snorted and said angrily, "I have always been better than you! You cheated that time, otherwise I would have won!"

"Well, you win. I'm here to help you save the world. The Tiefling Kingdom looks like it's in big trouble."

Amber 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. Aren't they afraid of the punishment of the gods?"

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

"Such a big decision cannot be made by one person. Can most of the members of the Unjust Council agree to it?"

Amber remembered that their Unjust Council had thirteen seats. It was impossible that more than half of them would agree to this method? 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 cannot get definite news, it means that the goddess of fate does not allow him to spy on these things, otherwise he can get the result by divination.

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

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

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

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

"Domino Lawley? I know this name. She's a famous person. She was on the list of famous scholars in the Alchemy City, and she was ranked very high. A Hell Knight became an Unclean One and changed his job to an alchemist? This doesn't sound right."

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

Amber sighed and said, "Uladimir, you have indeed gone further than me on the road of destiny, but you are too dependent on this power. Can't you use your brain to think?"

Mr. Doom was silent. Perhaps this was the price of being a prophet.

When you are faced with a difficult problem, if the correct answer automatically appears in front of you, what else can you do except copy it?

Mr. Doom has tried to solve the problem in another way, but he often finds that his method is far less simple and direct than the one revealed by fate. After hundreds of years, this has become a habit. Once the goddess of fate no longer gives him the answer, he is confused.

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

Mr. Doom said calmly, "It was the day I predicted, the day Ryan would attack."

Amber nodded. His guess was almost the same. These two months was the time he had 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 Tiefling problem within this month. At least before the war starts, we don't need to worry about the Tiefling Kingdom falling into hell."

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

"Look at you, you always want to copy the answers. I have my own way."

Perhaps it has something to do with his birth, aristocrats like Mr. Fortune don't need to think too much since childhood, and they have been using the power of destiny since they got it, and it has always been useful without any pressure.

Amberxiu was born in a poor family and encountered countless troubles. He understood that when taking risks, he might encounter all kinds of troubles, so it is always better to have more skills and know a little bit about everything. It is safer to have different solutions to the same problem.

Mr. Fortune had no other choice but to ask Amber to come, so he asked, "What do you need?"

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

Mr. Fortune nodded and said, "Sure, tomorrow will do it for you. I can do both of these things for you."

"That's all right."

Amber smiled and picked up the wine glass, taking a sip. He had a long-lost spicy taste. Although the effect of using the soul to perceive was completely different, he still couldn't help but think of the past.

"Why did you light Midnight Fire? Didn't you say it was deadly spicy?" asked Mr. Luck.

"Because it was the first glass of wine you invited me to 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: "Brother, thank you."

Mr. Fortune 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." said Amber Xiu.

Since everyone entering the city had to sign a contract, Harvey must have signed it as well. This guy probably didn't understand the devil's words on it and got cheated. Thanks to Mr. Doom, otherwise Harvey would have gone to hell if he stayed here for more than a day.

After hearing this, Mr. Doom was silent for a long time, and then he said, "I have never found a suitable apprentice in my life, but a bastard like you managed to find such a talented apprentice. I can't bear to see such a genius die like this."

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