Volume 3: The Land of Mist Chapter 60: The Whereabouts of Judgment Three
"In the real world, it can open up an absolute magic-forbidden area for you that isolates all magic. As long as you are within the range of the area, all spells that violate the iron laws of reality will no longer exist, and only the laws of the real world will be effective... But this is not its most important function."
Seeing William take the heart, Air said.
“So what is its most important function?”
William asked subconsciously.
"You don't want to use it."
Aire answered thus, but continued:
"The Iron Stone Covenant will be your insurance policy. It will seal your last hope when you fall into the deepest despair."
As for why he fell into the deepest despair and how to seal the last hope, the other party did not mention it at all.
Don’t ask. If you ask, you can’t tell me. You have to figure it out yourself.
It was as if some mysterious being was watching their every move, and once a keyword was detected, the police would be dispatched at the speed of light.
never mind……
William sighed slightly, then looked at the dry stone heart in his hand.
Because the production team did not delete the waste, the "Iron Stone Covenant" deep in William's treasure hall did not have any item description. Before, he had always regarded the heart-shaped thing as a decoration, and placed it together with other strange-shaped things. If it weren't for what El did to him now, he might not have remembered that he had such a thing.
So, this thing is essentially the same as the "Seed of Hope", and is a necessary ritual material for being promoted to become the King of Nothingness?
No, William immediately rejected the idea.
As the "first born", the Ironhearted Widow is a void king that has existed since the beginning of the world, and there is no possibility of her needing a ceremony to be promoted.
Or is this a manifestation of the authority of a virtual king?
No... these are not the crux of the matter.
No matter what, this thing is definitely very important to the Void King. In a way, it is like handing over part of his power to William.
But why did she go to this extent?
Could it be that the other party really believed that he had become the dead husband? And the other party also sincerely hoped that he would kill her?
Let me make it clear first that William did not believe even a single punctuation mark in what Air said before. William asked himself if he could do such a stupid thing as to entrust the fate of himself, the Wick Continent, and even the entire future of the world to the promise of a nonexistent king.
But now, after the other party showed his "sincerity", William was really shaken.
The Seed of Hope can accomplish something that even the greatest miracles cannot accomplish—resurrecting the dead. It can even allow William to glimpse something that theoretically shouldn’t have happened in history. In a sense, this is an operation that transcends the content of this single archive and changes the game framework.
Then I think that the "Iron and Stone Contract" which is also the [Source of the Moon] should be able to do things to the same extent.
Thinking of this, William held the iron heart in his hand, and was a little impatient to go back to the treasure hall to compare it with the "Iron Stone Contract" in his collection to see if the two were the same.
And it seems that there is more than just the "Iron and Stone Covenant".
William thought.
In my treasure hall, there seem to be several items with the [Origin of the Moon] entry? I found them all from the developer's discarded items through the console. However, because those items were just models, I just put them in the treasure hall as accessories.
Thinking of this, William resisted the urge to go back to the treasure house to check and turned his gaze back to Air.
After handing this iron heart to William, the aura that had previously emanated from her, which was enough to affect William's spell chanting, had completely disappeared. At this moment, she was like an image projected in the air by a low-quality projector, blurry and unclear, as if she could disappear at any time.
Holding the other person's cold heart in his hand, William didn't know what to say before the other person disappeared.
Could it be that he held the heart and said, "Aier, I have sensed your obsession, and I have understood your determination?"
I feel like the whole style of painting has become more Hong Kong-style.
"So what other preparations are needed besides sitting on the throne?"
If I were to kill you.
Unable to think of a suitable farewell line for the current atmosphere, William simply asked a more practical question.
Ai'er's face was still the same icy expression that had never changed for thousands of years, but her voice had begun to distort, and it sounded as if there was serious signal interference.
"Judgment Three... the weapon I once forged... you need to find it back, so that you can..."
The intermittent voice floated into William's ears, and he immediately asked:
"Then do you know where it is?"
"After Neh was killed... Judgment III was kept as a trophy at the headquarters of the Takma Cult..."
The last sound of Air before he disappeared echoed in William's ears.
"After Neh was killed?"
William was stunned as he watched the silhouette of the other person slowly dissipate in mid-air .
Neh was... killed?
How could Nihil, the Frost Witch, the third seat of the Tribunal, who was the theoretical pinnacle of the three spells of frost, necromancy and life, and possessed the dual identities of a Druid and a Lich, be killed?
As far as William knew, the only member of the Tribunal who might be alive today, besides the long-lived dragon Dua Jinn, was Neh Mur, who had become a high-level lich.
Although dragons have long lives, when they reach a certain age, most of them will choose to return to the Dragonbone Islands in the far north and become so-called Dragonbone Elders, becoming one with the rocks of the mountains.
Therefore, sometimes William would even pessimistically believe that the only member of the Tribunal who might still be alive was Neh.
But now, Air told him that the other person was dead.
Killed by someone.
Who killed him?
William recalled the second half of what Air said before he disappeared.
Judgment III was kept as a trophy at the headquarters of the Takma Order.
William turned around and looked at the old man, the member of the Takma sect whose registered name was "Hill".
After Air left, the effects on him were also lifted.
But it seemed that the other party still hadn't recovered from the blow he had just suffered.
Part of it was the blow caused by Air's power acting on his body - to be honest, for an old and physically untrained academic mage, he should generally thank fate for being able to survive after being tortured for so long by a Void King.
But the physical blow is only a small part; the bigger blow comes from the mental side.
Although he was suffering physically, Hill's mind was always very, very clear - if possible, he really hoped that he had just lost consciousness.
The Takma Cult has always signed a contract with the Ironheart Widow, in exchange for helping to complete the Eighth Holy Spirit in exchange for the return of Judgment Three to her hands. Over the years, Ai'er has been helping the Takma Cult, the Eighth Cult, and the Imperial Family to continuously advance the establishment of the throne.
However, just now, the contract was broken by the other party. Although she didn't know what price the other party would have to pay, she resolutely terminated it.
Then she even told the man in front of her about the "Judgment Three" in the Takma Cult.
I was cheated...
They were all deceived. What Air was pursuing was not a cold world where everything was empty... nor was it worthwhile for him to die.
In fact , the cause and effect are reversed.
All she really seeks is her own death, to gain eternal peace.
And for this, she was willing to destroy the world.
If there is no one in the world whom she recognizes, then the only way for her to commit suicide is to destroy the present world.
And now, there was someone she could acknowledge.
And at this moment, that person was staring at him with a cold gaze.
"Tell me everything you know about Judgment Three, and I can guarantee that you will have a less painful death..."
After a long time, the man said softly.
