I am a director in Ark. If I am not banned, I will be considered successful.

And when the Scavenger King took out the entity called [Royal Covenant], almost in an instant, the black mass of Sarkaz army knelt on one knee in front of that entity.

At this moment, even the three Sarkaz beside Kal'tsit, Ascalon, Logos and Scout, almost knelt down at the first opportunity - even though they were very reluctant, but under this rare holy object of the Sarkaz that symbolized "ending the fight", as fellow Sarkaz, they had to obey this tradition.

This is the only existence that can make countless brutal Sarkaz stop their killing immediately. From the moment they see this holy object, the blood of the Sarkaz will be condensed in it and resonate with the blood of the kings of the royal court who sacrificed themselves.

The Scavenger King took the initiative to hand the [Royal Covenant] in his hand to Tracys who was also kneeling on one knee. Tracys took it with both hands and slowly stood up. Then all the Sarkaz stood up together.

"...【Royal Court Covenant】, this symbolizes that the Sarkaz Royal Court will never kill each other again. Now this tradition has been broken countless times, but every time this holy object appears, all Sarkaz will still follow the tradition in front of the holy object."

Tresis held the [Royal Court Covenant] in his hand and said to everyone: "This is a symbol of Sarkaz friendship. Naturally, I will also give it to Sarkaz's friends to show Sarkaz's friendship."

"A friend who is not a Sarkaz, but has never discriminated against any Sarkaz."

"A person who is not infected, but has never been away from the infected, and a friend who still lives with the Sarkaz, who are almost all infected."

"One... believed that the Sarkaz could change, and helped the Sarkaz's cause. The reward he received was only one ten-thousandth of the favor he gave to the Sarkaz."

"Such a person is my friend, and the friend of all Sarkaz. Today, I will give this holy object to the first foreign friend of our Sarkaz."

Having said this, Tracy turned his gaze to Chen Qi beside him. Without hesitation, he held up the [Royal Court Covenant] in both hands and presented it to Chen Qi under the horrified gazes of the people from Rhodes Island.

"And you, my friend, on behalf of all Sarkaz, I call you the [Friend of Sarkaz]."

"From now on, you are the friend of all Sarkaz. You are not related to us by blood, but our friendship will transcend blood. From now on, our blood will flow for you, and our hearts will beat for you."

"I hope you can accept this friendship from the Sarkaz. From now on, we will be like a clan, like blood relatives, sharing the same hatred and enemies, helping each other, and going through fire and water without hesitation!"

——Yes, this last sentence was Tresis's purpose. In front of so many people and witnessed by so many forces, he called Chen Qi "Friend of Sarkaz" just to let everyone know that Chen Qi now stood with them.

In this way, not only will other forces and countries be wary of the Sarkaz (Zarak, the "rat" clan of Terra) before taking action against Chen Qi because of the threat from the Sarkaz, but Kal'tsit, who has a big grudge against them, will also always be wary of Chen Qi.

This vigilance is not limited to Kal'tsit's Rhodes Island side. Any force will be wary of an organization that is friends with the notorious Sarkaz.

In other words, it would be even harder for Chen Qi to find other partners besides him from now on, as they all disdained to associate with the Sarkaz. This was also a disguised way of tying Chen Qi to the Sarkaz ship.

With this testimony, this [Royal Court Covenant], Tracy will no longer have to worry that the dramas promised by Chen Qi will be empty promises - unless Chen Qi openly goes back on his word, then he will be hunted down by all the Sarkaz.

This was the method Tracys had come up with to pull Chen Qi into the Sarkaz team. For this, he was willing to pay such a price and make such a promise.

Because the Sarkaz need this friend. The Sarkaz’s future, continuation and reputation all need this friend.

To this end, Tracy is willing to do this with unprecedented commitment. Whether it is for interests, friendship or power, Tracy is willing to do so.

Everything is for the future of the Sarkaz. He thought... this is also what his sister Theresa wants to see.

Chapter 66: Mastema's Arrival, Lateran's Decision?

However, no matter what Tracy thought in his heart, it could not change what he was doing now, and how shocking it was to the eyes of other people who were not in the know.

The regent of the Sarkaz was so respectful to a Yan person, even calling him a "friend", and the friend of all the Sarkaz. Even the [Royal Court Covenant], which can be called a "holy object" for the Sarkaz, can be given to others as a symbol of friendship among the Sarkaz race.

At this moment, on Rhodes Island's side, the three Sarkaz headed by Logos all looked dumbfounded. No matter how majestic, powerful, and difficult to approach the three of them were in Rhodes Island, they all looked shocked at this moment.

Inside the land ship, Kal'tsit was worried that Tracy would launch an attack regardless of the consequences, while Amiya, who stayed inside the land ship, narrowed her eyes and looked at Chen Qi with an expression of great surprise and wonder.

Even the knowledgeable Kal'tsit opened her mouth slightly, as if she could not understand the scene in front of her. Her eyes were fixed on the [Royal Covenant] that Tracy handed to Chen Qi, and she fell into a brief brain storm.

...What happened just now?

Others may not know, but Kal'tsit knows too well the importance of the holy relic [Royal Court Covenant] to the Sarkaz race. This is the only holy relic that can stop all the brutal Sarkaz from fighting as soon as it appears. It can be said that holding the [Royal Court Covenant] is equivalent to a person being protected by the entire Sarkaz race.

From now on, no matter where this person walks on this land and shows this holy object, all the local Sarkaz will not attack him, and will even protect the safety of the holder when necessary!

It can be said that if Tracys really handed over the [Royal Court Covenant] to Chen Qi now, Chen Qi would be equivalent to gaining the friendship of all the Sarkaz on this land - when necessary, even if Chen Qi ordered the Sarkaz of Rhodes Island to do things for him, they would have to obey.

But the problem is that the backbone of the entire Rhodes Island today is supported by the Sarkaz veterans from the Tower of Babel era!

Instantly, Kal'tsit realized the seriousness of the matter - if Chen Qi had really been bribed by Tracys, then now that he had control of the [Royal Court Covenant], if he moved into Rhodes Island, wouldn't Rhodes Island fall apart in an instant?

However, Kal'tsit wanted to stop it, but found that she couldn't do it at all - first of all, Askalon and Logos, the two most powerful fighters on your side, were both Sarkaz. If you let them attack the holy relics of Sarkaz, you might as well order them to commit suicide.

As for Kal'tsit taking action herself, or letting Outcast, who was a Sakota... that was impossible. Kal'tsit clearly saw that the Blood Demon Lord and the Scavenger King were still staring at them.

Moreover, if they take action at this time, there is no doubt that Kal'tsit and his companions will be torn to pieces by the angry Sarkaz. Kal'tsit herself can be reborn, but the problem is that others cannot!

So, Kal'tsit was at a loss for a moment and could only watch Tracy hand the [Royal Court Covenant] to Chen Qi.

At this moment, Chen Qi came to his senses and understood what Tracy meant.

"You're planning to use this thing to pull me onto the Sarkaz's ship... and you're talking about mutual benefit and assistance. I'm afraid you're both the beneficiary and the beneficiary, right?"

"But now it seems that we have no choice but to take this thing. Otherwise, it will be a problem to leave here safely."

Chen Qi was also thinking in his mind that under the current situation, it would not be bad if the crew had the protection of the Sarkaz. At least with the protection of the Sarkaz, no one would dare to mess with the crew wherever they went.

After all, the only people running around Terra right now, apart from Rhodes Island, are the Sarkaz mercenaries. With this, it is almost equivalent to gaining the friendship of all the Sarkaz, and the crew can continue to walk sideways on Terra from now on.

But if this is the case... the reputation of the crew will be somewhat bad. After all, the Sarkaz are generally despised by other species on Terra. If they accept this, it will not be easy to find publicity and promotion in various countries in the future. I am afraid that they will not be able to encounter such publicity as Syracuse last time and Londinium this time, which almost involves the whole country's efforts.

However, Chen Qi also has a way to deal with this situation. Now it would be better to take this big baby over first and ensure the safety of everyone in the crew.

"——I feel extremely honored to have the friendship, trust and support of a race, Your Highness the Regent."

In full view of everyone, Chen Qi took the [Royal Court Covenant] from Tracys's hand, and at this moment, the voice from the system suddenly emerged in Chen Qi's mind.

[Detected that the host has obtained the rare item "Royal Court Covenant", congratulations to the host for activating the system's new "Treasure House" function! ]

[Collect rare items in the Terra world to obtain corresponding rewards and reputation points. The more "rare items" the host collects, the more benefits he can get.]

[Currently, the host has obtained the rare item, the King's Covenant. Do you want to check the amplification effect of the "King's Covenant"? ]

"Sure." Chen Qi answered in his mind without hesitation, and soon, in front of him appeared a row of glass cabinets filled with figurines that only he could see, as if they were from before the time travel. In one of them, there appeared the shape of "Royal Court Covenant".

[Royal Court Covenant]: The sacred object of the Sarkaz clan. The holder of this object will be equivalent to gaining the friendship of the Sarkaz clan. It can permanently increase the affinity of the Sarkaz clan by 50%, and will not receive any damage from the Sarkaz clan. For any work shot by the host, the reputation value of all Sarkaz clan members will increase by 1.5 times.

After Chen Qi slowly accepted the "Royal Court Covenant", the system determined that he had obtained this rare item. At this moment, Tresis also showed a rare look of success, but still said loudly:

"All Sarkaz, salute our friends!"

"Bang!"

Almost as Tracys finished speaking, all the Sarkaz who witnessed it all stretched out their right hands and slammed them heavily on their chests, performing a wild yet solemn ceremony, and bowed slightly in the direction of Chen Qi.

At this moment, even the Blood Demon Lord, the Scavenger King, Scout, Logos and Ascalon from Rhodes Island, and even Tracys himself, put their hands on their chests and bowed slightly to Chen Qi, whether they were reluctant or not.

And now, on Chen Qi’s small map, a large area of ​​gray dots that originally belonged to the Sarkaz almost instantly turned into blue, symbolizing friendly forces!

Such a change also made Chen Qi feel relieved. He knew that his bet that Theresa would let him go was right. The advice Theresa gave him was really useful. He gained the friendship of the Sarkaz clan!

——Although he might have been plotted against by the brother and sister, this result might be the best now. At least it could save everyone in the art troupe, and he would be safer walking around the Terra continent in the future.

After doing all this, Tracy turned his gaze to the five internal guards who had witnessed all this, and then he spoke lightly:

"Now, Director Chen Qi is a friend of our Sarkaz and is under the protection of the Sarkaz."

"So, you still want to insist on your own ideas and meaninglessly splatter your lives on this land? Of course, if you are still considered a life."

There was a hint of threat in Tracy's tone, but this time, even the five inner guards seemed a little hesitant. They could never have imagined that Tracy would tie the fate of an entire tribe to Chen Qi in order to keep him alive!

And if they really continue to insist on their mission...then they will be besieged by all the Sarkaz here, and their death will be meaningless.

"...You are just making trouble for yourself, Sarkaz."

However, the battle still cannot be lost, the inner guards took out their last deterrent, which is also their confidence - Ursus Empire. They immediately spoke:

"You can now do evil in Londinium, but you are only taking advantage of Victoria's weakness and the vacancy of the throne."

"But our great Ursus Empire is different. With your current strength, we only need two armies to razed Londinium to the ground - even if you have a so-called royal court."

"...Do you think you can threaten the Sarkaz like this?"

"It seems that you are not only arrogant, but also stupid. You are ruthless and brainless, Ursus."

However, when Tracy heard this, his eyes cooled down slightly. At this moment, the atmosphere that had just relaxed a little suddenly became tense again.

Abrana also hurriedly led the team of [Deep Pool] to retreat. She knew very well that if a war broke out here, then with the current overall quality of [Deep Pool], they would not be able to fight against the brutal Sarkaz Legion.

It would be better to look for another opportunity, wait until they are almost done fighting each other, then take action, use your Originium skills to hit the morale of the Ursus Legion, and try to kidnap Chen Qi in the chaos.

"Everyone, improvise and be prepared to deal with the attack from the inner guards."

Kal'tsit also reacted immediately. She now saw the situation clearly. The Sarkaz and Chen Qi were now bound together, even if she did not admit it.

Instead of becoming an enemy of Chen Qi and undermining the morale of several Sarkaz mainstays in Rhodes Island, it would be better to temporarily form a united front with the Sarkaz... Kal'tsit no longer has any way to harm Chen Qi.

"Ah, everyone, it looks like we're a little late. I didn't expect there's a grand ceremony going on here."

"But now is not the time to take action. How about giving me some face and laying down your weapons for the time being?"

But at this moment, a teasing female voice suddenly sounded slowly in everyone's ears. However, in a trance, they only saw a blue-haired Sakota with a dark halo on his head, who was obviously the "fallen angel", and a red-haired Liberi, who came to the center of the impending explosion.

"Latlan's messenger of all nations, Mostima."

"Acting as the Lateran notary, Fiammetta."

"In the name of the Lord, stop your wars. We have come here not to join the war, but to stop it. We are not enemies of any of you, but only to proclaim the blessings of the Lateran's holy teachings."

Following the declaration of Liberi, who called herself "Fiammetta", two people representing Lateran appeared in the center of what was about to become a battlefield. They came with Lateran's instructions and were only there to announce an important decision of Lateran.

“…Why are the people from Lateran here?” Kal’tsit didn’t know why the people from Lateran were here. She subconsciously looked at Outcast, who was also from the Sakota tribe, and asked:

"Outcast, I remember that your Sakota clan has the ability of 'empathy'. Can you sense the thoughts of the fallen Sakota?"

"…I can't do that. Fallen angels don't have the effect of 'empathy'. I can't read her thoughts."

"But... I can vaguely guess that the feelings of the other Sakotas are being conveyed, and I roughly know the decision of the Pope."

Outcast also activated "Empathy" at the first moment, but after she heard the feelings of the other Sakotas who knew about it, she showed an extremely surprised expression and muttered to herself:

“Does the Pope’s Office really know what they are doing? It would be fine if they arrived earlier, but now Director Chen Qi has already accepted the token from the Sarkaz clan…”

"If he really does this, then...from now on, who in this world can stop him?"

Chapter 67: Two races that are incompatible with each other, mutual friends?

"…Why did Sakota from Lateran appear here for no reason?"

However, when seeing Mostima and Fiammetta coming here on behalf of Lateran, Tresis, as a Sarkaz, immediately asked the army behind him to suppress their almost natural aggression against Sakta, and asked lightly:

"This is not the place for you to spread your doctrine. This is a battlefield that is about to break out. Are you coming here to wade into this muddy water?"

If we were to say who the Sarkaz hate the most, the first one would be the "monster" standing in front of them, who calls herself "Kal'tsit"; the other one would be the Sakta people, who have halos on their heads and wings behind them, and are naturally in conflict with them.

However, even Tresis did not know why the Sarkaz and the Sakota were so hostile to each other. I am afraid that some of the older kings in the royal court could not explain this clearly. It was as if they hated each other by nature. The territories of the two tribes were located on the east and west sides of the Terra continent, but they just looked down on each other.

As everyone knows, Lateran has strict restrictions on the sale and outflow of firearms. Except for the Sakota who almost every one of them has a guardian gun, and even some Archangels who dream of having eight submachine guns, other races can only use small-caliber firearms unless specially approved by the Lateran officials.

For example, the grenade launcher in Fiammetta's hand was specially approved. But this rule has no effect on the Sarkaz.

Sarkaz mercenaries, in order to survive in a cruel environment, almost every Sarkaz has the habit of collecting useful weapons, especially firearms.

This also led to many Sarkaz having many firearms of unknown origin, most of which were not small-caliber. And who did they take these weapons from? It seemed that only the Sakta tribe.

This is also one of the reasons why the Shakota and the Sarkaz have always hated each other. The Sarkaz have never taken the so-called "laws" and "doctrines" seriously. The two tribes have had a long-standing grudge. Even if many Sarkaz have encountered the Shakota for the first time, they still have a deep-rooted, natural "hatred".

"Don't be so angry, Regent of the Sarkaz."

As the "Fallen Angel" of Sakota and the messenger of all nations, Mostima did not have much hostility towards the Sarkaz, and he smiled and said:

"We are here only on behalf of Lateran to announce two new laws. Don't worry, it won't have any impact on you and the Sarkaz. After we make the announcement, if you still want to continue fighting, please feel free to do so."

"The Sarkaz will never be bound by the laws of any country or race." Upon hearing this, Tracy immediately stated his position. He had no plans to offend Lateran for the time being, but he would not lose to Sakota in momentum. This was a must for the Sarkaz king.

"Don't be like that. One of the laws here is related to your Sarkaz friends."

However, Mostima smiled slightly and cast his gaze towards Chen Qi who was standing aside. For a moment, everyone's eyes subconsciously looked towards Chen Qi, including Chen Qi himself, who asked in surprise;

"Related to me? But I don't remember any acquaintance between me and Rutland."

Although Chen Qi and Exiah had a good relationship because of The Godfather, Exiah probably hadn't met Mostima yet, right? Moreover, Exiah was just an ordinary Sakota in Lateran, with no special status.

"Well... you will know later, Director Chen Qi."

Mostima smiled slightly, and then took a scroll from Fiammetta's hand. However, this time, she turned around and looked in the direction of Vina. After confirming Vina's race and appearance, she announced to everyone:

"Everyone in Victoria, Evangelista XI greets you. Just yesterday, we made a difficult decision through several meetings in the Church Hall."

"A few days ago, I watched the episode of Yes, Prime Minister. I, the cardinals in office, and almost all the citizens of Lateran were amazed by the show. However, the episode about the Lateran diocese in Victoria made us think."

"We spent several days investigating our dioceses in other countries and the diocese in Victoria. I regret to tell you that in our diocese in Victoria, I do not see the doctrine bringing salvation to believers, nor do I see piety and faith. There is only the smell of money manipulated by politics."

"Such teachings go against our Lateran creed, and I feel sorry for it."

"The Laterans once fought for the war that engulfed the continent. The messengers who traveled through the wilderness and to the royal court earned Lateran credibility and reputation. But now, all of this has been corrupted by politics, turning the devout believers into profit-seeking political animals."
