Chapter 1098: Truth Oath! Hundred Flowers Joins the Team! (5)

“Lord, are you here to discuss the path of knights with me?” Levi asked.
“That’s right. When I reached the end of the path of knights, I was already a legendary peak knight in the human world. I searched everywhere for a way to break through the shackles, but in the end, I found nothing. In the end, I came to the Wizard World, but I realized that… there was also no place for a knight there, and no one would study that small path of knights. I can only say that there’s a silver lining. My talent as a wizard was not bad in the end, so I embarked on the journey of a wizard.” Elena sighed.
“It’s also because of some coincidences that I occasionally obtained a way to break through the shackles of a knight. Actually, with your primordial soul-level knowledge, you might be able to break through the shackles yourself soon,” Levi said.
“Perhaps… I don’t like to beat around the bush. I want your technique to break through the shackles. I wonder what the price is? Aether Stone, Wizard Tool, rare materials, feel free to name them. I can satisfy any request that’s not too much!” Elena’s expression was calm and serious.
In fact, with her primordial soul-level strength, she could have taken it by force, but she wasn’t that kind of person. Besides, Levi was Sister Triss’s person.
Levi thought for a moment and said, “Lord Elena, I can teach you the technique. I have some requests, but I don’t know if I should tell you…”
“Cut the crap,” Elena said. “If you have something to say, say it.”
Levi said, “After I obtained the method to break through the shackles of legendary, I established a knight organization to open a path for knights. I also set some goals. If I want to obtain this method, I have to join the knight organization and swear that for the safety of my organization and myself, the method can’t be easily passed down. I hope you understand… As a wizard with a primordial soul, perhaps my request is a little too much for you.”
“That’s it?” Elena asked with amusement, looking at Levi.
“Ah… that’s it.” Levi felt uneasy.
The power that the primordial soul unintentionally emitted made him feel suffocated.
“How about this, show me the contents of the oath. If it’s not too much, I’m willing to swear the Truth Oath!” Elena said.
“The Truth Oath?” Levi was shocked.
Even if he had not entered the primordial soul, he had heard of this oath.
There were several types of oaths in the Wizard World.
One was the most commonly used contract slate in the Wizard World. It relied on a Legendary Wizard Tool similar to the Heart of Skynet as a supervisor. This Wizard Tool was the Sauron Codex, also known as the Contract Codex.
The principle of the Contract Codex was that anyone who possessed the contract slate could use the spiritual force imprint as a signature. Then, the contract ability and spiritual force imprint would be monitored by the Contract Codex. If one party violated the contract, they would be punished by the Contract Codex. The strength of the punishment would be determined according to the seriousness of the violation of the contract terms. The most serious punishment would be to directly destroy the soul through the spiritual force imprint and achieve the death penalty!
The advantage of the contract law was that it had a wide audience and could be used by countless people in the Wizard World. However, as the wizard realm increased, the binding power would become weaker and weaker. Basically, it was mainly targeted at low-level and Intermediate Wizards.
After the primordial soul, this binding effect was already formal and meaningless.
In addition to the legendary Contract Wizard Tool of the official congress, some powerful wizards and organizations would have their own Contract Wizard Tool to strengthen the binding power. Levi’s Excalibur was also based on the same principle.
The second way was to use the extremely cautious Truth Oath between primordial soul wizards.
He swore to the unfathomable truth that could never be touched!
This was an oath that could not be violated. To wizards, this was tantamount to violating the truth!
At best, it would hinder the pursuit of the truth. At worst, it would die. Even a primordial soul wizard would not be spared!
Levi did not expect Elena to value the path of knights so much.
He thought for a moment, then imprinted the contents of the oath on the slate and handed it to Elena.
Elena read it calmly and said, “It’s alright, but there are some clauses that I need to modify. I’ll modify them once. Take a look again. As the price of modifying the clauses, I’ll pay you an additional million Aether Stones.”
“Will do.”
This scene made Levi feel as if he had returned to the business negotiation table in his previous life. Both sides were in a tug of war.
Elena edited it seriously. Levi didn’t dare keep quiet.
In the end, Elena handed the modified version and a million Aether Stones to Levi.
Levi looked at the contents of the oath. The parts that Elena had modified did not have much of an impact. She did not modify the core clauses to protect himself and the organization. She only removed some of the overlord clauses and format clauses that Levi used to manage ordinary members. It was reasonable. It was already good enough that a primordial soul wizard was willing to swear. How could she agree to Levi’s overlord clauses?
“I agree, but I don’t want the Aether Stones anymore. I can already feel your sincerity, Lord!” Levi returned the Aether Stones to her.
Elena glared at him and said, “Are you asking me, a primordial soul wizard, to take it back? Don’t I care about my reputation?”
Levi took it back resentfully.
Elena began to swear by the oath.
“Upon the truth, the knowledge is appraised…”
After swearing, she extended her hand and said, “Give it to me. Hmph, if not for Triss’ sake, you brat… Forget it, let’s not talk about it. I still have to rely on you to bring me into the Nightmare World in the future.”
