Chapter 160: The Balance Contract

Chapter 160: The Balance Contract

Chapter 160

The alien creature slowly raised his palm, with five fingers extending out like a mountain. As his palm was clenched, an invisible and terrifying pressure suddenly descended.

The air seemed to solidify at this moment, the space twisted into ripples, and an invisible force abruptly ended the battle between Lin and Astrid.

Lin En felt his chest tighten, and the surging mental power in his body seemed to be locked tightly by an iron chain, unable to continue functioning.

And Estri also stopped moving in an instant, standing there like a puppet, her eyes calm and indifferent, without any intention of resistance.

It seemed that Lynn had the upper hand in this confrontation, and even forced Astrid to the point of being nearly injured, but this was not actually the case.

On the surface, this battle was an overwhelming victory for Lynn, but in essence it was unfair.

Lin En knew very well that Astrid, as a second-level wizard, had never cast any second-level magic from beginning to end.

He didn't even mobilize any of his mental energy, and was able to fight him to this point relying solely on his physical strength.

After the alien creatures forcibly intervened, Lynn's heartstrings suddenly tightened and sweat silently slid down his forehead.

He could clearly feel that the other person's gaze was as deep and cold as the abyss, as if it penetrated his soul, giving him the illusion that he had nowhere to hide.

There was a suffocating silence in the air.

Lin En's mental power quietly pulled the blue sky spirit in his body.

The faint green light appeared and disappeared in front of the chest, as if the pulse of the heart was beating slightly.

Although Lin En knew very well that the power of the Blue Sky Spirit was no match for the creatures from other worlds.

However, his purpose was not to fight back directly, but to use the Spirit of the Blue Sky to control the fragments of the scales within it and give himself a chance of survival.

Even if it was just for a moment, Lin En might be crushed to death by the alien creatures.

Therefore, in a tense mental state, he always maintained a weak connection with the spirit of the blue sky.

Once the situation gets out of control, he will activate the Spirit of the Blue Sky before he dies and completely seal off those scale fragments. With his current proficiency in using the Spirit of the Blue Sky, he can definitely do this.

A light green light quietly danced on Lin En's chest, faintly shining through his armor, making his outline hazy and strange.

He held his breath, staring at the alien creature with burning eyes, feeling the pressure as vast as the sea.

To Lynn's surprise, the alien creature did not speak or even make any sound.

He continued to stare at Lin En in silence, his eyes deep and unfathomable, impossible to understand or see through.

There was no emotion in those eyes, but they contained an indescribable sense of oppression, which made Lin En's heart beat faster suddenly. Cold sweat broke out on his back, and a layer of fine sweat beads appeared on the tip of his nose.

As for Astrid, she stood there like a wooden man, with her spear pointed at the ground and her eyes empty. She said nothing and took no action.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Lin En to leave, but the other party had no intention of speaking...

Finally, in silence.

Lin En gritted his teeth and took the initiative to break the silence.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and mobilized the mental strength in his body.

He spoke in the language of another world. His voice was somewhat discordant and some of the tones were inaccurate. After all, the knowledge of the other world that he mastered was not complete.

[There is no life-and-death hatred between us, right? If possible, I don't mind making a deal with you...]

If possible, Lin En didn't mind handing over the fragments of the golden scale and completely severing all ties with this alien creature.

As for the cooperation between the two parties, it can be completely led by the Golden Balance to conclude a truly fair contract.

However, at this time, the alien creature directly interrupted Lin En's words.

[You are very nervous, and your mental strength is a little unstable and intermittent... For me, it is easy to wipe you out the moment you lose contact with the spirit of the blue sky.]

The alien creature uttered these words coldly, causing Lin En's heart to suddenly sink.

The pressure came over him like a huge wave, and he couldn't be sure whether the other party's words were true or false.

But at this moment, he instinctively deepened his connection with the spirit of the blue sky, trying his best to stabilize the flow of mental power.

Lin En took a deep breath of cold air, forced himself to calm down, and slowly spoke: [Practitioners of the Blue Sky Meditation Method can store spiritual power in the Blue Sky Spirit.]

However, the alien creature suddenly chuckled. This was the first time he laughed since he came here.

Are you threatening me?

【I am just stating the facts.】

Lynn's voice was calm, even though his heart was pounding and adrenaline was racing through his body.

Even though Lin En's Grey Eagle Armor has a constant temperature function, he still feels hot all over and his adrenaline is surging.

Given the huge gap in strength, Lin En's pressure is indescribable.

The two sides used targeted language, and on the surface, Lynn seemed a little powerless.

However, there is an absolute gap in strength.

For Lin En, who is a weak person, "overestimating one's own capabilities" is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it will allow him to gain greater initiative in negotiations.

As the saying goes, one must be put to death before being reborn. This is exactly what it means.

【hehe.】

The alien creature laughed again, the second time he laughed since his arrival.

The laughter echoed over the desolate frozen wasteland, seeming somewhat lonely.

Lin En frowned, his fingers trembling slightly. This was the most dangerous situation he had faced since he came to this world.

Even when he was in [Landscape], facing the oppression of the Crucible Stone and Aquila, he had never felt so passive.

At that time, at least there was the maple tree's will to accompany him, which could freeze the opponent's strength.

But now, he was alone, facing alien creatures in their peak state.

Its level is at least at the Morning Star Wizard level, far beyond him!

The laughter finally faded away, and the eyes of the alien creature were as cold as the abyss.

[But there is one thing you said that is right - there is indeed no hatred between us. ]

As soon as the words fell, the originally tense atmosphere seemed to change quietly, and the deadlock in the negotiations seemed to have loosened a little.

Hearing this, Lin En raised his eyebrows slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then tried to speak: [The only conflict between us is the scale fragments. ]

Of course, the "we" here does not include the causal relationship of Maple Tree. Lin En directly removed Maple Tree from the conversation.

After all, the alien creature in front of him was taking over Maple Tree’s body.

Therefore, it is obviously misleading to simply say that the contradiction is only the fragments of the scales.

But under this circumstance, even if Fengshu was still awake at this moment, he probably would not have any objection to Lin En's statement.

What's more, Fengshu was now in a deep sleep and couldn't utter a word in rebuttal.

【good.】

The alien creature responded calmly, then waved his hand gently, as if casually brushing away a wisp of dust.

However, in just this raising of his hand, the surrounding world seemed to have undergone drastic changes.

A faint golden light appeared out of nowhere, spreading in the air like ripples, instantly covering the entire area.

Originally, the sky and the earth were all blue and white. In the sky, the sky formed by the interweaving of blue sky and white clouds was boundless; above the earth, there was frozen soil, with blue and white interweaving, as if you were in a blue and white wasteland world.

However, the moment the golden light appeared, the color between heaven and earth suddenly changed, and the surroundings suddenly became golden, like a golden torrent sweeping in all directions.

In the open space between Lin En and the alien creature, a beam of extremely dazzling golden light slowly spread out and turned into a golden scale suspended in the air.

The scale was not big, only about twenty centimeters long.

But its entire body is made of a mysterious and extraordinary substance similar to gold, emitting a pure and deep light.

The shape of the balance is elegant and mysterious, as if it were created naturally without any flaws, as if it has existed since the beginning of the world.

As the scales emerged, an indescribable sense of equality quietly spread within the area covered by the golden light.

It seems as if an invisible force permeates the air, filling every inch of space with a sense of balance.

In this golden light, Lin En could even feel the tranquility and stability deep in his soul.

It’s as if the scales themselves are the embodiment of equality.

Lin En took a deep breath and tried to calm the throbbing in his heart.

He calmed himself down and spoke slowly:

[I have no idea about the Libra, and I can give you these Libra fragments. But I need your protection, and I need to protect my personal safety.]

His voice was calm, yet with a hint of caution and tentativeness.

What Lin En said was not without reason. What if he handed over the fragments of the golden scale, and the alien creatures got them and turned their backs on him?

At that time, the alien creature would slap him to death, and no one would defend Lin En.

And the fact that Lin En specifically said this at this moment, the meaning was very clear, and it was naturally the golden balance between the two of them.

However, the alien creature shook its head and uttered a word that made Lin En's face darken slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his expression became more solemn.

[No, I don't need those now... Keeping them in you is just what I want.]

Lin En opened his mouth slightly and was about to say something, but unexpectedly the alien creature took the lead and continued:

【Sign the contract. 】

[What contract?! ]

Lin En was stunned when he heard this, and his brows suddenly frowned.

He wanted to sign a contract with the alien creatures in exchange for the contract of the golden scale.

And now, the other party has said that he doesn't want the scale fragments, so how come the issue of a contract suddenly popped up?

This sudden change made him feel very alarmed.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Just as he was doubtful, the alien creature raised its hand slightly, and its slender white fingers gently stretched out, as if breaking through the void, drawing a dazzling golden light in the air.

The golden light was brilliant and dazzling, as if the scorching sun was condensing here.

The golden light gathered and slowly expanded in the air, condensing into a huge curtain of light.

Above the light curtain, dense and strange characters emerged, interweaving into flowing runes and complex patterns.

The handwriting was twisted and obscure, as if it contained the will of an ancient alien world. Just staring at it for a moment made Lin En's heart slightly shaken, and his mental strength suffered a considerable impact.

[Is this... a foreign language? ]

Lin En was secretly surprised and concentrated on identifying the runes.

However, these alien languages ​​were extremely complex, and Lin En could only understand a small part of the content, and most of the content was completely incomprehensible to him.

This is understandable.

After all, even in the wizarding world, verbal language is rarely used when signing contracts.

Instead, they prefer complex and sophisticated written runes to ensure the strictness and tamper-proofness of the contract.

However, even though Lin En had studied some alien languages, he still could not fully understand the profound meaning of the contract runes in front of him, let alone carefully distinguish the terms and conditions.

Even the meaning of the combination of words was extremely confusing to him, as if he was in a fog and had no idea where to go.

【What is written on it? 】

Lynn asked with a frown, trying to get some information out of the other person.

The alien creature smiled slowly and said calmly:

[Just sign it. With the contract in place, I can rest assured, and you can rest assured too. Besides, in this situation, do you have any other choice? ]

These words were indifferent and strong, as if they were certain that Lin En had no room for refusal, and he was not even in the mood to explain.

At this point, the thoughts of the alien creatures were completely exposed, and the contents of the contract were densely packed.

And Lynn didn't know anything about it.

Once signed, if there is some messy content hidden in the contract, he will be selling himself to alien creatures.

By then, I would be sending myself to die...

However, Lin En just smiled coldly and said nothing.

In the current situation, if you stick your head out, you will be killed; if you hide your head, you will also be killed.

Even though the threat of alien creatures is right in front of us, there are only two possible situations.

Either refuse now and be killed.

There were all kinds of traps in the contract, and Lin En would still die, just a little later.

Besides, Lin En had encountered all kinds of contract troubles when he was in the Spirit Eye Furnace in the past, and he didn't want to get into that situation again.

The alien creature possessed a terrifying power like that of heaven and earth, and slowly pressed towards Lin En, as if it would only ask Lin En to say no.

Then, what awaits him will be the same fate as those members of the Star Hunting Society before.

However, between signing and rejecting, Lin En had a third option...

The Ifgrid in his mind slowly came back to life, and there was some connection between him and the Spirit of the Blue Sky.

Just as the will of the maple tree could survive by hiding in the extraordinary plants, Lin En could also hide in Ifgrid! However, if the maple tree did this, it could wait until Lin En came to rescue him.

If Lin En did the same, even if the final result was not death, it would probably be no better than death...

Therefore, whether to make this decision or not, even Lin En was still a little uncertain...

[That kind of trick again? ]

At this time, the alien creature's eyes narrowed slightly, as if it had guessed what Lin En wanted to do.

After all, he had experienced this move on Maple Tree Will countless years ago, and obviously remembered it.

“Bang!”

The alien creature suddenly snapped its fingers, almost scaring Lin En into attacking him, but fortunately he reacted in time and the golden scale suddenly showed changes.

In the last few lines of the contract, there appeared lines of text, which included both alien languages ​​and wizard languages.

Lin En looked at the wizard language and was slightly stunned, because it was written on the wizard language:

"In signing the above contract, both parties have maintained fairness and equality. The above text does not cause any harm to either party..."

Lin En has some understanding of the golden scale.

Not only do they know how terrifying the golden scale is, but they also know how sacred this thing is to creatures from other worlds.

Therefore, these last few sentences are sufficient to ensure the security of the contract.

but……

Lin En still didn't understand. He thought for a moment and asked, "So, this contract is why you came here? Why didn't you take it out at the beginning?"

However, the alien creature spoke solemnly and answered Lin En's question: [I am observing, observing, and considering... to see if you are qualified to sign... After all, no matter from which angle you look at it, you are the most suitable... If you cannot pass my assessment, then...]

This was the first time that the alien creature spoke in a serious tone, and was even worried that Lin En might not understand, so his tone and speed were very slow, with some pauses.

The purpose was to make Lin En understand what he was talking about.

"Consideration?"

Lin En heard this, his expression remained unchanged.

But in his heart, he was thinking back to this encounter with the other party. As soon as the other party appeared, he killed the members of the Star Hunter Society, and then it was Astrid...

"Is Astrid a test? She suppressed me to the level of a first-level wizard and fought me. Is she testing me? But isn't this a bit too ridiculous?"

Lin En didn't understand and was about to ask again.

However, creatures from other worlds are not good-tempered or easy to get along with after all.

[Sign the contract. I don’t have the patience to answer your questions. ]

These words immediately killed Lin En's question.

Indeed, the other party is at least a Morning Star Wizard. It is really a "waste of time" for him to ask questions to a first-level wizard like himself.

Faced with the alien creatures that he had to guard against day and night, Lin En thought about relying on the powerful wizards in the wizarding world to kill them.

He thought about being slapped to death by the other party, or even a worse fate...

But I never expected that the final result would be such a good one.

No matter how you look at it, this angle is not bad.

At least it is much better than entering Ifgrid and living in the spirit of the blue sky.

Therefore, it seemed that Lynn had no reason to refuse...

On the scale, two names with soulful aura were finally imprinted on it, one on one side was "Lynn Cole".

On the other side, there is a text from another world.

Coincidentally, Lin En knew this alien language, and when translated, it meant "Qi".
