I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 110 If there is no soul subordination contract
After listening to Kaios' analysis, both Christina and Qing Cang Lixiao nodded in agreement.

Indeed, with the level of Earl Hummels' magic power, even if no one stops him, he is in a state of magic backlash attack, and those magics that have not been fully cast, and the spells that are not fully formed, are difficult to deal with other than himself. any substantial harm done to others.

Even if his magic power level is higher, and he can cast complete magic that endangers others, in the environment of Brilliant Manor, not to mention being killed by Christina's top-level contracted servants, but the counterattack after the monitoring of the protection array, It's hard to bear, and it's also hard to cause any harm.

And if it was only aimed at Earl Hummels, it would be the most unwise and the easiest way to expose the "curse" to let him explode in front of other nobles at this kind of banquet.

So Keos said that the onset of his curse should be an accident, and both of them thought it was reasonable.

In fact, there is still one thing that Keos didn’t say, that is, according to the results of his research on the “Curse of Chongling” with his doctor Grossman, although the curse on Earl Hummels is not the “Curse of Chongling” ", but the principle is the same, they all need to plant a curse in the initial cultivation process, and bind it to the person being cursed bit by bit.

Earl Hummels was obviously not cursed when he started practicing magic. Judging from his performance, he must have been cursed recently, so he was very unstable.It could have been inspired by a drink or dish that had a little magic tonight.

Having the ability to plant this kind of curse, and it was only recently, this naturally made Kaios think of the great magician Rudy who was not caught by the Holy Blessing Palace and is still at large.

Rudy is not only the absolute backbone and the number one person of the Yulang City Holy Law Church, mastering various methods of casting and planting curses, but also an archmage of the undead. The revised undead spells are all from his hands, and he is an absolute key figure.

He didn't even know how to cancel the soul subordination contract with Marquis Eriksson, so that neither Marquis Eriksson nor Shengyou Palace could track him down.

He is also one of the three people in the Church of the Holy Law who knew that Kaios had practiced necromancy and summoned the undead of his dead sister, Lenna Li. The other two had already been killed by Kaios, and he was the last survivor.

So when Kaios realized that the magic backlash curse on Earl Hummels was likely to be related to Rudy, he actually thought about not reminding others about the curse, and then silently arranged for people to investigate Humei first. Earl Ernes's house, to see if he can find Rudy's trace first - even if Rudy wants to cast that curse on the Earl, he must be by the Earl's side and have someone close to the Earl assist him.

But he quickly gave up this idea, and decided to do his best to help the Holy Blessing Palace and the Retribution Knights find Rudy.

Based on his understanding of the behavior style of the Punishment Knights during this period of time, the matter of the "Holy Law Church" in Yulang City is considered over, and they have no need or motivation to continue the investigation, so once Rudy is found, in order to avoid letting him Escape, no matter who makes the shot, it is unlikely to keep his hand, and he will try his best to ensure that he is killed directly.

He doesn't even need to do tricks, as long as he knows about Rudy, Marquis Eriksson will make sure that he can't speak.

Compared with his secrets, Rudy, as a contracted servant whom the Marquis Eriksson valued very much and has been in charge of for a long time, must know more secrets and more important ones.

He really didn't need to do too much by himself. Maybe Rudy didn't take his little secret seriously. Compared with him, the Holy Law Church should have more secrets about other big figures.

Of course, the most important thing is that the current him does not have the ability to find and solve Rudy quietly.

This guy is no ordinary level 11 great magician.

Christina and Qing Cang Lixiao naturally didn't know that Kaios had so many thoughts and thought about so many troubles just for a moment. After they asked the reason why Kaios discovered the curse, they didn't pay much attention to it. .

After all, to put it bluntly, this matter really has little to do with them. Even if they want to find out gossip, they don't know where to start.

Moreover, they are more interested in Kaios now.

So the topic quickly turned to Kaios himself, from his "demon refining system" to his painting style.

"Xiao Lixiao is also an artist!" Christina said suddenly.

"Oh? Miss Qian Cang also draws?" Kaios asked.

Qian Cang Lixiao said with a wry smile: "What I like is a somewhat unpopular project."

Christina said: "Baron Keos can guess, five times...well, forget it, ten chances, if you haven't guessed it ten times, just replace your fruit wine, drink this, a big glass How about drinking it?"

Kaios looked at the big glass full of 30~40% wine, and said with a wry smile: "I don't have the magic baby of Count Christina, who can cut off the influence of alcohol. If I drink this big glass, I will be drunk. This It would be very dangerous if I played drunken madness in mid-air."

Christina smiled and said: "It's okay, there is a protective circle here, and you can't fall out even if you want to."

As she spoke, she stretched out two fingers into her mouth again, and quickly took out a small white object, which seemed to cover a certain back molar from the shape: "If you don't mind, I will You can also borrow magic items!"

Kaios stared blankly, not knowing what to say for a while.

Qian Cang Lixiao couldn't help but cover her face: "Tina... pay attention to your identity, you are an earl..."

"I'm lying to you! This prop is custom-made, and only I can use it! And I put it in my mouth, how could I lend it to other people, haha!" Clix Tina laughed happily, "Kao Baron Si, you are blushing! Did you just hesitate to take it over?"

Kaios simply didn't answer, and directly began to guess Qian Cangxiao's art field: "Since the Earl said so, then the art field that Miss Qian Cang is good at is definitely not the common items such as painting, singing, dancing, and sculpture."

His eyes fell on Qian Cang Lixiao, staring at her wrist: "The magic bracelet worn by Miss Qian Cang is obviously a module without pre-stored magic power. If you want to use it, you must be able to cast magic power yourself. That is to say, Miss Qian Cang He must be a magician. Aristocrats usually practice magic for a specific purpose. Ms. Qiancang’s artistic field may require the use of active magic, could it be... magic cooking?!"

Originally, Christina and Qing Cang Lixiao were a little surprised when they heard the previous analysis of Keos, and thought it was very accurate, but they didn't expect to launch a "magic cooking" in the end?
Christina laughed and coughed: "Art! Can magic cooking be called an art field?"

"Why can't cooking be called an art... Hey, since it's not an art, then this isn't a one-off."

"That's not okay, you still have nine guesses left." Christina said, wiping away her tears from laughing.

Kaios started staring at Qian Cang Lixiao again, touched his chin, and said: "Although I guessed wrong, when I said it just now, Miss Qian Cang's expression told me that my thinking was correct. It has to do with active use of magic."

Christina couldn't help looking at Qian Cang Lixiao: "Are you giving him a hint?"

Qian Cang Lixiao stared wide-eyed: "Of course not!"

Kaios laughed and said, "The earl gave as many hints as Miss Qiancang."

Christina smiled and said, "I gave you so many hints, did you get the result?"

"Is this art performed live?" Keos asked suddenly.

Neither Christina nor Qing Cang Dawn answered, but Kais could see the answer from the expressions on their faces: "Understood, it's a performance that requires magic. Could it be... to create certain light and shadows?" Effects? For example, using water elements, wind elements, fire elements, etc..."

Christina was surprised: "Baron Keos, are you sure you didn't know Lixiao before?"

"This is the third time I've seen Miss Qian Cang today, but I really didn't know her before. I don't even know what Miss Qian Cang's name is, let alone what her art field is." Kaios said with a smile, " So, I guess I guessed right?"

Qian Cang Lixiao nodded and said: "It's not too bad, it's indeed a live performance of controlling the production of magic elements. If you guess this step, you've guessed it right. Hmm... I'm a fan of... magic explosions."

She originally wanted to talk about an explosion artist, but after thinking about it, she still didn't feel like saying it. After all, she was too unpopular and not well-known.

However, Kaios became interested: "So, Ms. Cang can master fire or thunder magic?"

Qian Cang Lixiao nodded, raised his right hand, condensed a ball of fire in the palm of his hand, and then waved towards the floating pavilion where they were, a piece of fire shone like a flower blooming in the sky.

Kaios widened his eyes and couldn't help applauding: "Amazing..."

The magic fluctuation just created is actually only between level 1 and level 2, very weak, not even comparable to the unfinished magic of Earl Hummels before, so naturally it will not trigger the protection circle.

But the flames that exploded were almost as big as the floating pavilion they were in. Normally, this visual explosion should be caused by spells of at least level 7 or 8 magic power.

This shows that Qian Cang Dawn's control over the fire magic, its own magic power, and the corresponding magic elements has reached a level of proficiency.

Christina gently shook the goblet in her hand and said, "Yes, it's pretty good. It's a pity that this kind of performance is not easy to perform in the theater, and Xiao Lixiao's magic power level is too low now, so she can't perform too much. So I also advised her that her explosion art, combined with the phantom, is a perfect match. Recording it with phantom and watching it on the big screen in the theater will definitely have a much greater influence than it does now. But before she I've been refusing to..."

Kaios said: "I can understand Ms. Cang's thoughts. After being recorded by the magic shadow, I definitely can't feel the shock of the scene. Moreover, every explosion and every flame is exactly the same as when I used magic at that time. Strictly speaking, there is no exactly the same explosion, so the live experience and the phantom record are quite different."

He watched a lot of blockbuster movies in his previous life, and naturally he saw violent explosions, but even in a movie theater, wearing 3D glasses, the strongest explosion he had ever seen was not as good as the overall explosion brought by the flame flower just now. The sensory impact is strong.

Christina smiled and looked at Qing Cang Dawn: "Baron Keos is really your confidant, and your reasons are exactly the same."

Qian Cang Lixiao said: "I did think so before, but now I decided to combine with the phantom to show the... art of magic explosion to more people."

Keos nodded: "Well, this is what it should be. Unpopular art needs more exposure and let more people know before it can develop... Oh shit..."

Kaios, who was in the middle of talking, suddenly found a face next to him, almost bouncing up in fright, but when he took a closer look, he found that it was Christina's contracted servant, the top-ranking Holy Spirit Wemila.

"Lord Earl, Earl Phoenix has something to ask you to go over there." Mira said, then turned to look at Kaios: "Sorry, Lord Baron, did I scare you?"

"It's okay." Kaios smiled wryly and shook his head. He couldn't help feeling that the Holy Spirit Guard bounces really well. I don't know if his Salveira can jump so high...

The floating pavilion was lowered back to the roof, and Christina had something to leave. She originally asked Kaios and Qian Cangming to continue sitting in the floating pavilion to watch the night view and drink, but they both refused.

Even if they don't know how to calculate, they also know that the floating pavilion will inevitably consume a lot of magic sticks. If the owner is not here, the two of them will feel uncomfortable sitting on it.

However, the two of them didn't go back to the guest room to rest immediately, and chatted directly on the roof. Even if they didn't go to the floating pavilion, the environment here is very good, neither hot nor cold, the air is good, the view is good, and it is very comfortable.

After knowing that the team that made the "Magic Shadow Screening Box" was actually funded by Kaios' magic coupons, so after rejecting her, Qing Cang Dawn once again had the idea that Kaios was a reborn person like her, so she again Couldn't help but probed:

"Baron Keos, what do you think of the soul subordination contract?"

Keos gave her a strange look, and said, "This... is nothing to look at. The soul subordination contract is the cornerstone of the existence of the Holy Bless Alliance. As nobles, lords, and vested interests, we can only say that it is a a low-cost, efficient tool of governance."

"Don't you think that because of the existence of the soul subordination contract, the noble lords are too comfortable and degraded? You know, the nobles used to be those with the talent for cultivation and the strongest blood, but now everyone is engaged in art. Even if I practice magic and aura, it is for art, just like I do explosion art..."

"Shengyou Palace doesn't restrict the nobles from practicing magic and aura. It's just that from a practical point of view, the nobles control more powerhouses, which is more efficient and easy than becoming a powerhouse themselves. If there is no soul attachment Contracts, many nobles also have no way to keep enough good magicians and auras to appear in each generation, and can always suppress the people." Kaios said, looked at Qian Cang Dawn, and said softly:
"Miss Qiancang, do you think the soul subordination contract is too unfair?"

Qian Cang Lixiao was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and took a sip of fruit wine, and said with a smile: "That's not true, I'm also a nobleman, how can I be so good at being cheap. I'm just worried that the cultivation talent of the nobles will gradually degenerate in the future. One day... the effect of the soul subordination contract will disappear, without the restriction of the contract, what will we become, what will the nobles become?"

Keos said: "Miss Qiancang, do you think the nobles will end badly after the soul subordination contract disappears?"

"Isn't it?"

"Miss Qiancang, assuming that starting from tomorrow, all soul slave contracts will be invalidated, how many of your contracted servants will swing a knife at you, how many will leave you, and how many will continue to guard you, Follow your orders?"

"This..." Qian Cang Lixiao thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I'm not sure how many people will leave, but there shouldn't be anyone waving their knives at me, because I'm sure most of them will stay by my side, So even if there are a few who are dissatisfied with me, I dare not do anything."

"What do you think would be the choice of those powerful contract servants who left the lord without the shackles of the soul subordination contract? Establish an alliance where everyone is equal and no one is subordinate to anyone, or will they find a new soul subordination contract and go to Subdue your own contract servants, occupy your own territory, and become a new nobleman, a new lord?
"After the old order collapsed, most people would instinctively want to rebuild the old order, but they would just want to improve their ecological niche. At this time, the only rule is the law of the jungle, and the weak will only swing their knives to attack more the weak.

"Perhaps there will be a group of old nobles and lords who will perish with the collapse of order, but as long as new soul subordination contracts will appear, the ecological niche of nobles and lords will still exist, and even the existing form will be more powerful than it is now. Stronger, more intense.

"So, if the soul subordination contract fails, it will not bring about the subversion of the order, but only a lot of fighting and death, and then the old order will be re-established in the hands of new or old people.

"If no new soul subordination contract can be found, then this kind of struggle will continue, just like the situation before the 'Three Kings' created the Blessed Alliance.

"The only possible exception is when there is a big, shared threat, or all are driven by shared emotions. Then, there could be a different outcome..."

Qian Cang Lixiao was dumbfounded when she heard this, and couldn't help thinking of many things she saw in her previous life.

She originally just wanted to use the topic of "soul subordination contract" to test again whether Kaios was a reborn person.

But what Keos said gave her a strange feeling. It felt like she was on the floating pavilion just now, watching Kais speculate bit by bit which art field she was good at.

But she still couldn't judge whether Kaios was a reborn or not.

"Miss Qian Cang, have you seen some ideas that preach 'As long as the soul subordination contract is abolished, the world will become a better place'? It came from the Western Realm?" Kaios suddenly asked.

He could clearly feel that Qian Cang Lixiao's words of "soul subordination contract" didn't seem to have said all that she really wanted to express, and she always kept it a bit hidden and concealed.

So he was going to be more direct and see if Qian Cang Lixiao would reveal more information.

He has an intuition that Qian Cang Lixiao has a special understanding of the "soul subordination contract".
