Chapter 1914: Tension
Chapter 1914: Tension
"Unfair?" The woman glared at Nathan. "From our perspective, you’re trying to invade our world. Do you think this is unfair?"
Nathan chuckled. "In that case, please explain that to all the living beings that are living on the nearby planets. Haven’t you done the same thing to them?"
"They’re empty planets!"
"Do you think they are really empty?" Nathan smiled. "No planets in this universe are empty, so I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"You—" She gritted her teeth. "Do you think I’m scared of you?"
"I guess this is the end of our conversation." Nathan sighed. He summoned Mae, Garuda, and Xolotl at the same time.
"!!!" The woman rose from her seat as if she were ready to fight, but the blond man hurriedly said, "We’re not going to fight. I apologize for her behavior. We couldn’t determine whether you’re trying to harm this world or not. After all, we don’t know if you’re lying or not."
The woman glared at Nathan, but the blond man suddenly turned cold. "Saintess Meia, please cease your rude actions."
"He’s the one being rude."
"Can’t you see the two beings behind him?"
The woman’s body shook. He definitely meant Xolotl and Garuda. She could feel the enormous divine power in them, similar to the gods living in the upper realm.
She knew that these two were similar to that being, but their power was sealed.
While she didn’t know the reason why their power was sealed, the fact that they would face gods meant a lot of things. First of all, how many beings could Nathan summon? If he could summon enough gods to face them, the world would be destroyed.
At the same time, Nathan came to this place with other people. Could they summon the same thing? If that was the case, Nathan had practically brought a force that could destroy their world.
"Playing good cop, bad cop?" Nathan smiled.
"I don’t know what you’re talking about, but allow me to respectfully welcome you to this world. As you said, it’s unfair for us to be receiving all the time. However, we don’t know how to confirm your intentions, especially with the forces you’ve brought to this world."
"There is a way. I don’t know if you dare to try it or not." Nathan summoned his Soul Contract once again. "This is a contract that will bind your soul. This contract can prevent both parties from lying."
The woman gritted her teeth, wanting to tell them that the contract was highly suspicious.
"We can—" The blond man thought about using the maids in the castle to test it, but suddenly, the man with the glasses broke his silence. "Let me test it. How do you intend to test it?"
"!!!" The blond man looked surprised. He forgot that the man next to him was a researcher. He was obsessed with researching new transmutations. This contract was something new, so he wanted to figure it out.
Nathan simply nodded. "Very well. I will need your real name."
"My name is Tesfelone Animeon."
Nathan took out another contract before writing them down at the same time. For the first contract, he wrote it in their language. It was a contract that prevented both parties from lying.
However, the other contract was actually a contract with this world. He wanted to access the information about the person before him. If he actually lied about his name, he would have to be extra careful.
Normally, if the contract used a false name, the name on the contract and the one who signed it would cancel each other out, making the contract invalid.
So, no one was supposed to be able to cheat. Still, this world seemed to have received a lot of visitors from other worlds, so he needed to be extra careful.
"This is for me, that is for you." Nathan nodded calmly. "If you’re unsure whether it’s safe or not, then I will sign the contract first."
Nathan bit his thumb and signed the contract. The contract would then burst into flames and disappear.
Unlike his world, this world didn’t provide much information.
[Name: Tesfelone Animeon]
[Rank: Transmutation Saint]
[Title: Divine Analyst]
[Transmutation: Fire, Water, Earth, and Plant]
Tesfelone signed the contract after Nathan. "You can try to lie if you don’t believe me. The contract will prevent you."
Tesfelone adjusted his glasses before saying something absurd, "Meia is an annoying girl."
"This is interesting." Tesfelone looked surprised.
"What did you say?" Meia gritted her teeth.
"I wanted to say you are a beautiful girl. I guess the contract has prevented me from saying things that please your ears." Tesfelone nodded in understanding.
"Hoho? And now, you’re going to tell me everything you’ve been hiding all this time?"
"I don’t see any need for that. At least I’ve confirmed that the contract is working." Tesfelone nodded. "So, can we start with the ’talk?’"
"It’s important!" Meia clenched her fists.
Tesfelone acted as if she didn’t exist. He continued, "How about we ask each other a question? However, I need proof that you’re not lying either. Please tell me about everything you’ve said from the beginning, such as the fact that there are six of you coming to this world up to your intention."
"I don’t mind." Nathan smiled calmly as though he had never lied. "I came here with three wives, one assistant, and one disciple. The knight captain, Elright, invited us to this castle, and the lord of this castle accepted us. I went to the library earlier to figure out a way to meet the beings in the other realm. I came in peace, but I’m not exactly afraid of problems. It would be great if I could get information about my goals here. This world is just a stop for me."
Tesfelone was quite clever. He used this chance to prove whether Nathan was lying or not. It looked like Nathan hadn’t told them a single lie. He might not tell them everything, but he definitely didn’t lie.
"I understand. I’ve confirmed the contract. Let’s begin with introductions."
