"What kind of ritual of worship is required?"
When Yi Chen asked this question, he was indirectly expressing his attitude.
The Duke shook his index finger, which was about the size of a normal person's thigh, and explained:
"I just mentioned it casually. After all, other guys would have some kind of ceremony before signing the oath. You should have also gone through a corresponding ceremony when you accepted this body, right?"
When the Duke mentioned this, Yi Chen immediately remembered the ceremony in the Shenpi residence.
It is through the medium of the "gentleman's skin" that a connection with the old world system is established through rituals, appropriate letters are selected and occupations are determined.
"Yes, I have been to the Old Hall through the Gentleman's Skin."
"Gentleman's Skin? Haha~ Skin is skin, and you have to give it a name that is close to humans.
However, there are indeed things worth learning from the Deep Leather Farm. The leather they produce can be directly transmitted to your human world through some channel, and it is very suitable for the human species.
There is almost no negative impact on the connection with the old world.
As long as the "skin content" is not too high and exceeds the control limit of the individual, you humans can still maintain yourselves completely.
As for me, there is no need for any complicated ceremony.
As long as you are ready, take off your clothes and I will brand you directly... It won't hurt and it won't leave any marks. The "Mark of the Transaction" will only exist between your souls. "
"good."
According to the Duke's request,
Yi Chen and Lorian took off their shirts one after another, and the Duke naturally noticed the black-haired right body that Yi Chen had temporarily constructed with the help of Little Grape.
"Does your little friend need branding as well?"
As soon as Yi Chen asked for Little Grape's opinion, the black hairy area on its back immediately opened its mouth and gave him a sincere look.
"Excuse me, Your Excellency the Duke."
When Little Grape said this, all its black fur was pointing towards the Duke, as if it would immediately follow the Duke if it didn't have Yi Chen as its master.
"Take your back to me."
Hiss~ A wisp of green smoke rises from the back.
It was not the expected pain that would scar the body, but rather a gentle touch on the soul.
The distinctive mark of the scales is struck upon the soul.
At this moment, both Yi Chen and Yue Hen could feel a vague connection with the old-world merchant, Duke Gary Rissen. Just as the other party had said, this trading oath did not have any form of restraint.
but,
The Duke's expression was a little strange. The fat on his face squeezed into a ball, and then he showed a more excited expression, and his whole face twitched.
He seemed to feel something new and strange from the branding process that he had never seen before.
"Okay, now you are my 'high-quality customers'. Shall we continue our transaction?"
Yi Chen immediately asked: "Duke, I want to ask about gambling first? If I want to gamble, what is the specific process?"
"It's very simple. First, you need to determine the odds of the gambling. I will create a gambling game and set the rules according to the odds.
As long as you can win the game in accordance with the rules or meet the fixed requirements in the game, you win the bet.
Otherwise, you will lose all points on your bet.”
"What kind of game?"
The Duke put his index finger to his mouth:
“The content of the bet needs to be kept confidential in advance.
Even if you determine the multiplier, I will make it randomly based on the difficulty corresponding to the multiplier.
It could be the simplest bet on the size of the game, or a complex maze game, or even a more comprehensive role-playing game... In short, you will only know when you enter the game.
Anyway, the difficulty is determined by the gambling odds, which is what you humans call fair.
Even with a 1:99 odds, there is still a chance of winning. Do you want to play?"
While Yi Chen was thinking, Yue Hen beside him suddenly raised his hand and said, "I want to check out the moon-related products with a price range of 500-1500."
According to his request, the Duke quickly found four items.
One of them is a female-oriented moonlight robe that can improve the wearer's floating ability and is priced at 700 points.
The second one is a jewelry ring inlaid with moonstone, which can provide moon attribute enhancement and is priced at 1,500 points.
The third one is a special moon staff, a relic from an ancient battlefield, once the exclusive weapon of a certain starlight sick wizard... Unfortunately, the end of the staff was severely damaged in the battle, and the core structure was affected and could not be driven. It can only be used as a decoration and is sold for 1,000 points.
The fourth is a pair of gloves overflowing with moonlight, which can increase the casting speed and double the effect of moonlight and starry sky spells.
However, apart from the third item which interested Yue Hen slightly, he didn't care about the rest.
"Do you have any materials to repair this staff?"
"Yes... But even if we find the best staff-maker in the Old World, the success rate of repairing it will not exceed 30%. In addition, the repair materials will require at least 2,000 points. I personally don't think it's necessary."
"Um."
Just as the Duke was picking up the goods again, perhaps because of his large size, he accidentally knocked open the collection cabinet next to him while collecting the staff.
At this moment,
Lorian suddenly felt a momentary resonance of the moonlight. A flash of moonlight flashed between his eyes, and he raised his hand and pointed at the collection cabinet that had been knocked open.
"Are there any moon-related merchandise in there?"
"Here? Let me look for it..."
The Duke's little hand under his armpit quickly reached into the collection cabinet, and after searching for a while, he seemed to have found something.
Crunch, crunch~ More arms stretched out from the armpits one after another, and finally a weapon box made of special stone was pulled out from the collection cabinet.
The ink-colored stone has a surface on which you can even see the flow of ink, forming a special seal that even the moonlight from the Moon Mark cannot penetrate at all.
The homologous induction originating from the moon comes from inside the box.
"You have a good eye... This is one of the store's treasures. Its information needs to be kept completely confidential. I can only show you its name."
As the Duke turned over the weapon case, the name engraved on the bottom was revealed:
Moonlight Great Sword
"I spent a lot of effort to get this thing, and even got slightly injured... If it gets leaked, I'll be in trouble."
"How many points are needed?"
"The original price is 15,000 points, and after the discount it's 12,000 points. My advice is to think about it later, and don't think you can get so many points from me in one go today."
At this moment, I feel lost since birth.
Lorian, who had finally arrived in the old world but was still disappointed, seemed to have found the lost signpost of life, as if he had found a new direction forward, and the Crescent Eyes Child became dazzling.
Yue Hen took a step back and motioned Yi Chen to come forward with a very elegant gentleman's manner.
"William, continue your deal with the Duke."
"good!"
Yi Chen has made a decision. "I need a third relic that is blocked from information. The discounted price should be 1,600 points. Selling the dead egg will give me 500 points. Can I customize the bet directly based on the odds between them?"
"Okay, but bets with a three-fold bet are often more difficult. Are you sure you want to gamble? Once you are sure, I will start creating the bet, and various rules and systems will be formed immediately.
You won’t be able to regret it then.”
Yi Chen has made up his mind.
Meeting the Duke on the surface of the Old World is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you want to meet him in the future, you must go to the depths of the Old World which is full of dangers, and it is only possible that you will meet him.
The possibility of searching for three-attribute relics on the surface is extremely small, otherwise there would have been a precedent in Zion.
As Mr. Zed said, since there is no precedent, we must become the first one... If we want to do this, we must take the risks involved.
Such an opportunity has come to us and we must seize it.
"I am sure."
"Get a little closer and the gambling game will be set to a certain extent based on you."
As Yi Chen approached,
The Duke's fat palm gently fell on the top of his head, and the soft layer of fat covered his scalp and penetrated into the hair follicles.
Acquiring memory components between brains, a unique gambling game is slowly being established...
