Obert's magical talent far exceeds that of his father. I heard that he is about to become a student of a ninth-rank magician, and his future achievements are boundless. Maybe he will take that step and enter a specialized field. When Efia mentioned Obert, Gutham, who was standing beside his brother with a cold expression, immediately said with a touch of reverence, looking at Stephen with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "His magic is much stronger than that of some magicians who only know the underhanded ways."
Stephen turned his head and glanced at Gutham: "Hehe."
Gutham: "..."
Stephen wasn't interested in the genius young magician or anything like that at the moment. But he was a little concerned that if there was any conflict with this guy, Gutum, he might cause trouble for him during his adventure in the ancient tomb.
Efia seemed to have noticed Stephen's concern and said with a smile, "Joining our adventure team will result in filling out the oath contract made by the church. If he breaks the contract during the expedition, he will be punished by the oath."
"So amazing?" Stephen had long known about the oath contract, but deep down he was eager to know what the working principle of this thing was. Was it magic or something else? It feels like this thing is very high-end.
Effia smiled and moved her hand. A folded piece of paper appeared in her hand and she handed it to Stephen: "This is our adventure contract. You and Debbie take a look. If there's no problem, just fill in your name."
Stephen took the contract, opened it and then flipped through it with Debbie.
The content of the contract is not complicated. Everyone joins this private adventure. During the adventure, partners are not allowed to frame each other; otherwise, they will be punished by oath. After the adventure ends, 30% of the treasure obtained will be obtained by the adventure initiator, Effia, and the rest will obtain 10% of the treasure.
In addition, there are several various classification clauses.
Below the terms are the signatures of all the adventure participants. The names of Efia, Asol, Balman, Damon, Bill, Gutum and Obert have all been filled in. At this moment, Stephen also accurately noticed a small line of text at the very bottom of the contract: This Oath contract is produced by the Church of the Glory of Light, quality guaranteed, cheap and affordable, priced at 1 gold coin.
When Stephen saw the last line, he immediately couldn't stay calm. The high-end and sophisticated style of the vow contract dropped significantly...
Stephen carefully studied the contract and found that it seemed no different from ordinary parchment. He began to doubt whether this thing had any so-called oath effect at all. But when he and Debbie filled in their names, Something wonderful happened - a golden light visible to the naked eye emerged from the contract and enveloped Stephen and Debbie, and Stephen also had a strange and inexplicable feeling.
Now our contract is established. Efia took the contract from Stephen's hand, glanced at the signature on it, and with a movement of her hand, the contract vanished. It must have been put into the Space ring by her. "Our adventure will start in ten days. Hammerhead, Debbie, you two need to get well prepared during this period."
"Miss Effia." At this moment, Debbie thought of something important and hurriedly asked, "Where is the ancient tomb we are going to adventure in?" Is it far?
Hearing Debbie's question, Efia couldn't help laughing. Asol Balman and the others couldn't help smiling either. Balman explained, "That ancient tomb is very far away from us, but we can enter it in an instant - it's a Doria tomb."
"Doria's Ancient Tomb?"
When Stephen and Debbie heard this name, they were both taken aback. Soon, some memories from the hammerhead flashed through Stephen's mind, making him understand what the Tomb of Doria meant -
The Doria Tomb is a type of tomb that is hidden within large spatial magic arrays and does not exist anywhere on the continent of Egendas. Therefore, Balman said that this tomb is very far away from them.
As long as one has the key to enter the ancient tomb, they can enter it in an instant at any time and anywhere.
This ancient tomb is called the Doria Tomb because it is related to a family with the surname Doria.
The Doria family existed as a huge magical family two thousand years ago. The members of this family are most skilled in spatial magic. The spatial rings, spatial necklaces or other spatial products made by their family have always been the most popular items guaranteed by the brand. At the same time, the Doria family has also been operating a series of special magical services: the funeral service.
Some famous swordsmen, mages and knights, after their death, hope that their tombs will last forever. To achieve this goal, they will build their tombs within large spatial magic arrays, opening up another space to ensure that their bodies and treasures will last forever.
The Doria family has been running this service for a thousand years. Countless knights, swordsmen and mages have built their own tombs through their spatial magic array, among whom there are many who are well-known on the continent of Egendas.
Then, just a thousand years ago, something unexpected happened all of a sudden: The Doria family suffered an unprecedented disaster. Their entire family was attacked and wiped out by another powerful family!
Meanwhile, a record book documenting the activation matrices of the magic arrays in various tombs was leaked.
Through this record of events, one can crack the core of the magic arrays in those tombs, create space keys and enter the tombs. Thus, an unprecedented wave of ancient tomb adventures began. According to statistics, within just a hundred years at that time, a total of over a thousand ancient tombs of sages were looted... Well, it should be said that due to adventure, all these ancient tombs have a unified name, which is called the Tomb of Doria.
In this grand tomb-raiding adventure, the Doria family also earned the title of "the most treacherous family in history".
It is said that there is still a small group of descendants from the Doria family trying to restore the family's reputation nowadays, but it is obviously a very difficult thing.
The ancient tomb of Doria still occasionally comes into people's view to this day. It was because of an accident that Efia obtained a "key" to the ancient tomb of Doria, which led her to organize this expedition.
The owner of that ancient tomb was a ninth-rank swordsman from 1,300 years ago. There must be many valuable treasures in his tomb. This adventure is sure to bring us a lot of gains. Effia continued with a smile. She said these words to Stephen and Debbie, "Our adventure will start in ten days, so you must be well prepared during this period!"
"I see, Miss Effia." Debbie's little face had turned red because of the upcoming adventure.
"All right." Effia smiled and nodded, glancing at Damon, Bill and Guttem again. "Let's meet again in ten days."
What she said was clearly a farewell order.
Damon, Bill, Guttem and Burton all said goodbye politely.
Stephen and Debbie were a little stunned: Oh my god, aren't you going to stay for lunch at noon? This is just too stingy. I was originally looking forward to this big meal...
Everyone left the city Lord's mansion one after another. Stephen and Debbie walked back sullen.
Bentham, along with his younger brother, watched Stephen and Debbie's figures from afar. His expression was very cold. His hair was still jet-fried and pitch-black. His appearance was rather disheveled, and the red armor of that bag was completely unwrapped.
"Brother, are we just going to let them go like this?" Burton looked at his brother's expression with some concern.
They signed the oath contract. During this period, I can't lay a hand on them. However... A cold expression flashed in Bentham's eyes. "After the adventure is over..." Humph!
