In other words, even if Netta left the dream wasteland right now, he would still remain in the dream wasteland. He would only enter the southern wizarding region as a wisp of his consciousness, instead of being pulled into a blank soul.
Unless the Deep Lord brought Netta's blank soul from the Abyss to the southern wizarding region.
Not to mention whether the Deep Lord would do such a thankless task, even if he did, as long as the consciousness of the Zenith Tower did not leave the dream wasteland, there was no need to worry about being discovered.
Even if the Deep Lord did find the dream wasteland and wanted to invade, he would have to come to the southern wizarding region in person first. Once the Deep Lord came to the southern wizarding region, what awaited him would be a miracle.
"What are you talking about, sir?" Netta's head was full of question marks. What wisp of consciousness? What dream wasteland? It had to have something to do with the Deep Lord. But why couldn't he understand anything?
He asked Netta to sit down first.
"I know you have a lot of questions, and I'll think about it. However, there is one thing you must do before you can answer the questions you want to know. "
Under Netta's puzzled gaze, Freud took out three leather scrolls tied together with beast tendons and placed them in front of Netta.
Netta glanced at the scrolls. With his experience in the wizarding world, he already knew what was inside without even opening them.
They were three different contracts.
The first one had a square inscription plate engraved on it. It was called "Oath of Tarot", or "Tarot's Secret Treaty". It was an ancient sorcerer-apprentice named Tarot who had drafted a confidentiality agreement. After so many years of inheritance, the later generations had constantly modified the language loopholes that could be picked out by others. In the end, it had formed such a nearly perfect contract clause.
The scope of application of the contract was to protect the common secrets between superhumans.
The second scroll had a white feather drawn on it. It was called "Oath of Winged Men". Hundreds of years ago, a young winged man from the Parmigi Winged Men clan signed a vow of loyalty to the wizard who saved him.
The content of the contract was basically that under the condition of not harming the other party, the swearing party would submit to the other party and treat them as their master.
The third scroll had a double-helix symbol that looked like the number "88" on it, which represented the harshest type of vow. Its full name was "Oath of Tarot's Follower on Blue Plain".
It was a very restrictive contract. Once the vow was made, one's body, mind, and soul would belong to the master. Apart from not being able to kill the person who made the vow, the master could do anything else.
The three scrolls represented three different types of contracts. The vow, however, was more restrictive.
Oath, as a secret, meant that both parties were equal. Oath, however, meant that both parties were master and master. Luojiang, on the other hand, had an even harsher master-servant relationship.
Angor didn't say anything, but Freta already knew what he meant when she saw the scrolls.
Angor asked him to choose one of the three contracts.
Looking at the three scrolls, a trace of hesitation flashed across Ruta's eyes.
"Although I saved you because Huahua asked me to, I had my own considerations. Angor considered. "If you make your choice, I'll answer your question according to your choice."
Angor's intention was clear enough. To know the truth, one had to sign a contract. The deeper the problem was, the more powerful the binding of the contract would be.
"Tell me when you've made up your mind." Angor didn't urge Freta to make up his mind.
Netta already received some hints from Angor. For example, Netta's sister, Flower, asked Angor to save him. But that was not enough to answer all his questions. How did Angor save him? What was the dream wasteland? … Why did everything here feel so strange?
Of course, Wanuta could choose not to ask, but regardless of whether he asked or not, he still planned to sign the contract.
It was a way to show his gratitude to Angor for saving him, as well as to redeem himself for his wrongdoings in the past.
Now that he had decided to sign the contract, Netta was still hesitating. Which one should he choose?
The first thing Netta did not consider was an oath. What was the difference between signing an oath and not signing a contract?
Since he wanted to repay Angor's kindness, Netta was hesitating between the Oath of Tarot and the Oath of Featherman.
In the past, Netta would never consider signing a contract with someone else. But now, he no longer had a future. He no longer cared about his pride.
Netta pondered for a moment and chose the Oath of Featherman.
To him, the two oaths did not make much of a difference. However, the Oath of Featherman stated that his master would not harm him. In other words, as long as he did not run into any unforeseen circumstances, he would be able to live for a while. The closer he was to death, the more he knew how precious it was to stay alive. Besides, he wanted to see his sister again. He wanted to see what the future of the Reverends would be like.
After careful consideration, he made his choice.
Angor wasn't surprised at all. The Oath of Featherman was more than enough. It was not as strict as the Oath of Tarot, but Netta would not betray him again.
Following Freud's instruction, Netta took out the Oath of Featherman scroll and signed the contract with Angor without hesitation.
When everything was settled, Angor no longer looked at Netta as unfriendly as before.
"Since you've signed the Oath of Featherman, you do have the right to know some secrets about the dream wasteland." Angor did not hide anything from Netta this time.
Of course, he did not tell Netta anything. For example, he did not tell Netta about the Dream Whelk. If necessary, he would tell Netta about it in the future. However, there was no need to go into such details right now.
Also, he did tell Netta about the Authority, but he did not tell Netta anything about the Nightmare Domain. He would not tell Netta about this either. Unless Netta changed the Oath of Featherman to the Oath of Tarot.
Netta was completely dumbfounded by Angor's words.
It wasn't that he was dumbfounded, but that he was stunned by such a novel and huge world.
This was a new world related to the Dream Realm? It was based on reality, but also beyond it?!
As a former wizard, Netta knew all too well how valuable the dream wasteland was. Not only was it convenient for communication, but it was also an irreplaceable way to extend one's life.
Entering the dream wasteland when one was on the brink of death meant that one's consciousness existed on a whole new level.
There was a famous philosophical question in the human world: What makes a human a human?
Of all the philosophers' answers, Letta's favorite one was: "Man is human not because of his skin, but because he has his own thoughts." What were thoughts? They were the combination of memories, emotions, and logical behaviors.
From this point of view, the light of consciousness had already encompassed all the characteristics of 'why humans are humans' that Zenith Tower understood.
Memories, emotions, logical behaviors, and the ability to think were all contained in a person's consciousness.
In this case, the Netta in the dream wasteland was the real Netta.
Keeping the light of consciousness alive also meant that he was still alive.
If his consciousness could stay in the dream wasteland without being harmed, did it mean that he had gained another form of immortality?!
And this was what shocked Fantaiga the most!
