In ancient prophecies, there would always be such a scenario.
Gods and Demons with evil intentions were sealed in bottles, but they were picked up by passersby. In order to escape, the Gods and Demons made many beautiful promises. In the end, when the passersby really opened the seal, they usually didn't receive a good reward.
"Why did you take so long to open the seal? I've already waited several hundred years."
"Insignificant mortal, you actually dare to negotiate with the great XX? You actually dare to threaten XX?"
"Human, you actually dare to summon me!"
These lines didn't need to be repeated. In this day and age, even if you wanted to repay kindness with enmity, you would still need to find a reasonable excuse. But if you looked closely, such an outcome would either be foolishness or greed.
Since you already know that he's a sealed God, then there's probably a reason why he was sealed. Since none of his friends or friends came to save him, then the most likely explanation is that he's no good at all.
Even if you're unsure, you should at least communicate with him and understand his past and personality before you make a decision.
Wisely, if you discover that he can't be trusted, you can first sign a contract with him or make a promise with special benefits. If you really feel that the risk is too great and unreliable, then you can just toss the bottle aside and go your separate ways.
Anyone who casually opens the bottle either doesn't have a brain, or was blinded by the promised rewards.
In that case, if at a critical moment in the story, the deceived passerby has already taken the bait and is about to open the box … then an outsider jumps out, slaps the box away, and even says, "Are you an idiot? Can't you see that he has evil intentions? Open the box and you'll die."
Alright then, the passerby was saved. Perhaps he would thank the outsider profusely, but from the perspective of the sealed God, this outsider …
"Little brat, give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you."
Right now, this God who was about to successfully escape but failed was smiling and threatening the outsider with death.
Rorschach's talent for honesty which had dragged him to this desperate situation told him once again that this Titan was serious. If he couldn't give a good enough reason to convince Titan, he would die here, and nobody would be able to take revenge for him.
The chill rose from his heels to his spine, and the malicious gaze was fixed on him. The giant hand that was holding the "small teacup" could flip over at any time.
"Wait, something's not right. There's a problem. Since he has the ability to separate me from my surroundings so easily, if he really wanted to kill me, he could have just done it. Why did he have to talk about compensation before?"
However, perhaps it was the instinctive sense of danger that stimulated Rorschach's survival instinct, or perhaps it really was the so-called quick-wittedness, Rorschach was silent for a moment and grasped the key of life and death.
"You want me to help you get that thing, don't you? That Eagle's Crown promised me but didn't bring it. I can help. "
Yep, Titan would only be willing to communicate with you if he needed your help. Otherwise, he would have slapped you to death long ago. What Titan bloodline? What Roland's shadow? Those were all just excuses.
"No, those aren't excuses. You do indeed have the purest Order bloodline in your body. Direct, pure Order origin power. Although it's very weak, so weak that it seems like a huge waste, it's very pure. It's so pure that Finn and I suspect that your ancestors were direct descendants of the Mother Goddess. As for the fact that you have Wood's shadow … You should have met him not long ago. He's also a Titan, and your bloodline is enough to awaken him. That's why he also left his own shadow on you. He's able to observe you through that shadow. "
Rorschach, who had always used his talent for honesty to read minds to gain the upper hand in a conversation, was now being manipulated by Rorschach as if his mind was being read. But while his honesty once again warned him of the truth of Roland's words, the meaning behind Roland's words made Rorschach's scalp tingle.
"You're saying that I was the one who awakened Titan two years ago? That he even did something to my body to keep an eye on me? Heh heh, this joke isn't funny at all … "
Roland forced out a fake laugh. If he continued, he would be insulting both his intelligence and sincerity.
"Boring mosquitoes will only wake you up from your sleep. Only the footsteps of your own kind will wake you up. Also, don't worry that Finn is lying to you. Even Finn won't be able to bypass your abilities. Finn wasn't angry at all that those little brats left. Finn has been observing you ever since you entered the volcano area … You're much more useful than any of them in retrieving that item. Yes, much more useful. "
Rorschach returned to the airship in a daze. He couldn't even remember what he had agreed to or said in the end.
However, there were some things that he would never forget.
At this moment, a volcano tattoo was burning slightly on Rorschach's back. According to Roland, not only could this tattoo establish a connection with him, it could also block the other Titan's gaze.
"… Little brat, you're still far too weak. You're so weak that you'll disappear the moment you approach our target. It'll be impossible for you to complete my mission, so I'll give you some rewards in advance. Yep, I'll also give you some small gifts. When the time is right, everything will be … "
[Rorschach! Rorschach! What happened? Why did we lose contact!!?]
However, Lori's exclamation caused the muttering in his ears to instantly vanish.
When he turned around, everything seemed like a dream. Only the heavy bag in his hand, as well as the large amount of magical gemstones in the bag, including the Phoenix Agate, repeatedly reminded Rorschach that everything was real.
He estimated that these magical gemstones were all super high-grade goods. Even the Phoenix Agate wasn't considered the most precious. This far exceeded the value of the goods he had thrown at the market.
"… This money is so difficult to take. An employer who pays you in advance but doesn't even need to sign a contract. While showing his generosity, he's also showing that he's not afraid of you taking the money and not doing the job."
But now that he was in this situation, Rorschach didn't seem to have any other choice.
Finnstrand was the self-proclaimed name of the Titan sealed under the volcano. At the same time, Finnstrand also claimed that he had been sealed here because of a small conflict between him and his fellow Titan.
However, Rorschach didn't have the ability to tell the truth, and he knew that he wouldn't be able to fool anyone.
What was a Titan? He was the Eldest Son of Order, the creator and protector of the world. He would casually seal his fellow Titan underground because of a small conflict, and he didn't intend to release him even after so many years.
"… Listen to me, Lori. This time, we've met with a huge problem. Perhaps it's also a huge opportunity. That's right, the Titan, the most ancient and powerful creature of Order in the legends …"
