Chapter 695: Book of Laws
Chapter 695: The Law Book of the Ten Ethnic Groups
"..."
Facing Lyon's "Japanese-style negotiation", the shadow of Director Aquarius remained silent for a while, but did not refute him. Instead, he followed his words and asked:
"But the [Watching Palace], which is of the same status and more complete, has been blocked by your ability. Can the broken [Law Book of the Ten Clan] of the Slaughter King Society really restrict you?"
The Book of Laws of the Ten Kinds... Is this the full name of [The Book of Laws]?
After firmly remembering the information that Director Aquarius accidentally revealed, Leon lied calmly:
"Of course I can! Do you think that something of the level of [Watch Palace] can be forcibly blocked by just listening to a few words of intelligence from others and then making wild guesses on your own? How is that possible!
For anomalies like the [Watchtower] and [Book of Law], the price to pay for shielding them is so heavy that you can't even imagine!
If you still don't believe me after all this, then I can swear with everything I have that I absolutely do not have the ability to directly block the [Law Book] now!"
"..."
That's true...
Looking at Leon's confident expression and remembering the "Leon" written all over the walls and pillars of the Watchtower Palace, Director Aquarius nodded subconsciously.
Although he did have a precedent of blocking the Watchtower Palace, being able to block something of this level was already crazy and unimaginable, and the conditions for achieving the blocking must be extremely harsh.
In addition, although the [Law Book of the Ten Lineages] is theoretically at the same level as the [Palace of Watch], the history of the [Law Book of the Ten Lineages] is thousands or tens of thousands of years earlier than the [Palace of Watch] created by humans. The two cannot even be considered to be under the same "system".
And if these two "supreme creations" in completely different systems, each of which is almost undisputed, can be easily blocked by Leon without any burden...
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
……
"Okay! I agree!"
Relying on his existing knowledge system, he repeatedly pondered the conditions proposed by Leon and judged that there seemed to be no obvious problems. Director Aquarius agreed without hesitation, and then narrowed his eyes and said:
"I can help you get some fragments of the Ten Clan Law Book, but in exchange, after you get the Ten Clan Law Book, in addition to answering your own secrets, you must also include Nicole's safety in the terms!
Also, I don't want to hear her name from you again. If you use her to threaten me again, we will really break up!"
"Write, you can write anything!"
After thinking for a while, Leon actually agreed to it. His pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but hold his breath. Then he promised with a normal expression:
"It's not just Nicole, if you want, after she gets married and has children, all her descendants can be included... By the way."
When he said this, Leon seemed to remember something. He stared at the blurred face of Director Aquarius and smiled and asked tentatively:
"I am really shocked that someone as cruel and cold-blooded as you would give in again and again for the orphans you adopted... If I had done the same thing last time, and put a knife to Nicole's neck and forced you to give up ascending to the palace, would you have agreed?"
"You're wrong, it's not that I care about her, but I must care about her!"
Seeing that even at this moment, Leon was still secretly testing his bottom line, Director Aquarius couldn't help but snorted, and then replied expressionlessly:
“There is also a ‘compatibility’ between anomalies and their users, and the [Watch Palace] created by the first generation of Aquarius directors is an anomaly created based on emotions such as love, dedication, and sacrifice.
Therefore, even if I completely replaced everything about Joan of Arc and became another Joan of Arc, if I don't have "love" in my heart, I will not be able to fully match the Overwatch Palace. For me, Nicole is an important prop to increase the compatibility between me and the [Overwatch Palace]!
Just like the relationship between the royal families of the twelve kingdoms and the twelve people who were promoted to the palace, the emotional connection between one's offspring or lover is not only a prerequisite for becoming a person who is promoted to the palace, but also a necessary means to improve the degree of compatibility with the [Palace of Watch]. In this regard, even Joan of Arc is the same. The reason why she is so accommodating to Olivia and treating her as her own daughter is not just because of her simple love. In the final analysis, she is just looking for an anchor point for herself to enter the palace. "
"Alas……"
After listening to the Aquarius chairman's lengthy explanation, Leon, who was a little gnashing his teeth, couldn't help but sigh, and then smiled awkwardly:
"Speaking of reason, an old man like you who is over a hundred years old should stop being so tsundere, right? It's really... disgusting..."
"..."
When I go back to the past and deliver the note to you, I should take the opportunity to spit shit in your face!
Although he didn't understand what tsundere meant, he was still hurt by Leon's "disgusting" comment. After taking a few deep breaths, Director Aquarius, with veins throbbing on his forehead, gritted his teeth and said:
"Anyway, from now on, I will always keep an eye on the future. If there is a chance to obtain the fragments of the [Book of Law], I will find a way to inform you... By the way."
At this point, the shadow of Director Aquarius spoke casually:
“You cannot control all of Aquarius now, but even when you have transcended the difference between humans and gods and can call upon them perfectly, remember to keep a little bit of it and do not change all the ownership to yours, otherwise it will be a trouble for both you and me.
Because we want to have the widest field of vision and perfectly observe everything in the world, the [Watching Palace] was built in the depths of a very distant sea of stars. If there is no Aquarius Palace for positioning, it may take me several years to find you, and by then I am afraid it will be too late to remind you even if I have the chance. "
"can."
After listening to Director Aquarius's words, Leon stared at his face, then nodded with a smile:
"I will leave a small space for you. This Aquarius Palace completely belongs to me. You are always welcome to visit me with good news."
"hehe."
The two former and current Aquarius directors smiled at each other in a friendly manner with their mouths grinned and eyes squinted. The current... reserve Aquarius director Leon Ryan picked up the [Past Sign] with the future written on it, smiled and said goodbye:
"Then I'll leave... Now can I show this to others?"
"it's up to you."
Director Aquarius turned around and walked back to the depths of the Aquarius Palace, and replied without looking back:
"As long as you are not afraid of the Cleanup Bureau finding out about your cooperation with me, you can show this thing to whoever you want!"
……
"Your Excellency Taurus!"
After forcefully pushing open the tightly closed door of the Taurus Palace, Leon strode into the Taurus Palace and broke into the selection site that was like a hellish boiler.
"I just reached a cooperation with Aquarius!"
