"His Excellency Fangzheng is too rash."
Sitting in the audience, Yast frowned and sighed as he looked at the crowd in front of him. In fact, when Lieutenant General John made this request, he knew that the situation was not good. But what Yast did not expect was that Fangzheng's reaction was faster than he expected. Before he could interrupt John, Fangzheng had already nodded in agreement.
"Haha, don't be so anxious …."
Compared to Yast, Bishop Karl was much calmer.
"I know Fangzheng very well. He never does anything unprepared. I'm sure that since Sir Fangzheng agreed to the other party's request, it means that he must be quite confident."
"That's true …."
Although Yast was still a little worried, he did not say much. He just looked at the crowd in front of him.
In order to ensure the fairness of the "Rite of Holy Judgment", the ceremony of the Rite of Holy Judgment would be held in a special half-plane. This half-plane was created by the powerful existences of the four nations using the power of arcane magic. Its nature was similar to the competition plane that Fangzheng once fought in the White Tower. However, this half-plane was specially made for the Rite of Holy Judgment, so it was not usually opened.
"How nostalgic."
While stroking his beard, Bishop Karl showed a nostalgic expression.
"I remember the last time the Rite of Holy Judgment was opened was 20 years ago …."
"At that time, the lord of the Sky Sword Duchy and the patriarch of the Monster Family were fighting over a lady? Now that I think about it, it's quite interesting, especially when the lady they were fighting over ended up in the arms of another woman …. Hmm, it's so dramatic now that I think about it. "
As if recalling the situation at that time, Bishop Karl could not help but smile. That incident was quite famous among the higher-ups. Two men fought to the death for a woman. In the end, when they invited the woman to the stage, she said with a confused expression that she already had someone else in her heart ….
At that time, many people laughed their heads off. You guys were having so much fun, but you didn't even ask the person in question? How confident are you guys!?
But this time, the situation was different.
At that moment, there was a commotion in the crowd. Lieutenant General John and the fat representative, Karon, walked out with confident smiles and whispered to each other from time to time.
"It seems like the Country of Fire and Country of Wealth came prepared."
Looking at Lieutenant General John's expression, Yast's face was also gloomy. He lowered his voice and said to Bishop Karl, who nodded slightly.
"Of course. It seems like they have planned this from the start. If it weren't for Sir Fangzheng's interference, we would have been their target."
Just as the two of them were conversing, Fangzheng also walked out from the other side. Just like Lieutenant General John, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and there was a smile on his face. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the trio walked to the center of the crowd, where a mage in a white robe stood. Bishop Karl tidied up his robe and walked to the center of the crowd.
As the first step of the 'Ritual of Holy Judgment', they had to first obtain permission to open the door to the Holy Tribunal. Of course, before that, they had to ensure that this was a fair and just duel.
"Your Excellency Fangzheng."
"Bishop Karl."
Looking at the smiling elderly vampire bishop, Fangzheng nodded at him. He had a good impression of this elderly bishop, but he didn't expect to meet him here. But come to think of it, if the Holy Cathedral wanted to rope him in, it wasn't strange for them to send someone related to him here.
"Alright then, let's begin the ceremony."
After the two greeted each other, Douglas coughed and spoke. Then, he turned to Lieutenant General John and the fat representative.
"I, Douglas Wygart, on behalf of Leon, the Country of Magic, agree to the holding of this Ritual of Holy Judgment."
"I, Karl D. Quinn, on behalf of Seres, the Country of Saint, agree to the holding of this Ritual of Holy Judgment."
"I, John Clive, on behalf of Verrell, the Country of Fire, agree to the holding of this Ritual of Holy Judgment."
"I, Ante Domes, on behalf of Karon, the Country of Wealth, agree to the holding of this Ritual of Holy Judgment."
After the representatives of the four countries finished their statements, they turned to Fangzheng. Facing everyone's gaze, Fangzheng smiled.
"Before that, there's something I need to confirm."
"What is it? Your Excellency Fangzheng? "
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Lieutenant General John twitched his brows slightly.
"Don't tell me you intend to go back on your word."
"Of course not."
Fangzheng waved his hand and continued.
"I would like to ask. This Ritual of Holy Judgment will be attended by me, the Country of Fire, and the Country of Wealth, right?"
"That's right."
Hearing this, the fat representative of the Country of Wealth nodded.
"Then, I have to confirm something first. According to the rules of the Ritual of Holy Judgment, the loser has to fulfill the requirements of the winner. So … If I lose, do I have to fulfill the requirements of both the Country of Fire and the Country of Wealth?"
"This …"
Hearing this question, everyone was stunned for a moment. They looked at each other. They had to admit that this was really a problem. Originally, the proposal of the "Ritual of Holy Judgment" between the Country of Fire and the Country of Wealth was prepared for the Country of Saint and the Country of Magic. Therefore, they didn't think too much about this problem. But now that Fangzheng reminded them, they realized that there was such a problem.
"What do you think, Your Excellency Fangzheng?"
Douglas looked at Fangzheng with a smile. He was obviously planning to be a bystander. As for Fangzheng, he spread his hands.
"It's very simple. If I lose, then I will fulfill one wish each of the Country of Fire and the Country of Wealth. But on the other hand, if I win, then I will ask the Country of Fire and the Country of Wealth to fulfill one wish each … I think this is a very fair and reasonable request. "
"This …"
Hearing this, the expressions of Lieutenant General John and the fat representative changed slightly. They looked at each other and saw the uneasiness in each other's hearts. The people present were not fools. Of course, they understood why Fangzheng would make such a proposal. On the surface, this was quite disadvantageous to Fangzheng, but on the other hand, it also showed that Fangzheng had absolute confidence that he would win. Otherwise, he would not have made such a request that did not seem to have any benefits to him.
But … what should they do?
Bishop Karl and Wizard Douglas silently entered into their spectator mode. If this request was made by Lieutenant General John, they would definitely oppose it, but since it was made by Fangzheng, they would not undermine their own people at this time. Now, it all depended on what choice Lieutenant General John would make.
"… We agree with this proposal."
In the end, after a moment of discussion with his companions, Lieutenant General John gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement to Fangzheng's proposal. Although he was also very uneasy, when he thought of the trump card that he and the Country of Wealth had prepared, Lieutenant General John was relieved.
Even if they accidentally lost the team match, as long as they won the individual match, the two sides would be considered a draw, and the bet would be invalid. But if they won both the team match and the individual match, they could get double the compensation!
As for losing? Impossible!
Thinking of the trump card in his hands, a smile appeared on Lieutenant General John's face.
That's right, it was absolutely impossible to lose!
"Very well."
Hearing Lieutenant General John's answer, Fangzheng nodded with a playful smile.
