Chapter 374 Three Wishes
The pale golden figure showed some surprise when he saw Luke, as if he was surprised that it was not the “Mysterious Queen” Bernadette Gustave who summoned him this time.

He looked at Luke for a moment, and the surprise in his eyes not only did not decrease, but became more and more intense.

After a moment, the extremely majestic voice of the pale golden figure echoed in the room.

“There is a strange aura about you, which is difficult to understand and has rules that are different from this world.”

Among the items snatched from Bernadette, the biggest gain, compared to the two extraordinary characteristics, is the Sealed Object 0-05 “Wishing Magic Lamp” in her hand.

Although it is only a “Miracle Master” extraordinary characteristic of the “Fortune Teller” path sequence two, the “Lamp Spirit” inside is the “Son of Chaos” who was tricked and sealed by Tianzun, and possesses the old status, soul, consciousness and some extraordinary characteristics.

There was a gleam in Lu Ke’s eyes, and he also began to observe the pale golden figure of the “Lamp God”.

It is the product of distorted and disordered rules transformed into concepts, formed under the shell of a “miracle worker”.

He praised: “Although you have lost your power and are trapped in the lamp, you still retain the vision and standards of your old level.”

Compared to the old “Uncertain Fog” in the starry sky, the “Lamp God” in front of him is extremely weak, but closer to the complete “Son of Chaos”.

Theoretically speaking, He is the real entity.

The Genie looked up. “I sense a false ‘Old One’ in you. Are you one of us?”

Luke nodded slowly, “Yes.”

The reason why it is a “false” Old One is that the “aggregation” symbol of the “original hunger” can regard the original body and the clone as a whole. Once the original body is devoured, other clones with mystical connections will also be devoured at the same time.

The “One Who Returns All Things” who controls “aggregation” and “repulsion” can be exempted to a certain extent, allowing Lu Ke’s clone to maintain contact with the original body, but it also needs to control the density of the connection to prevent the connection from being too close and completely losing the chance of resurrection after being caught up.

Otherwise, Luke’s promotion would be even faster than it is now, whether it is the digestion of the potion or the borrowing of the “symbol”.

Lu Ke smiled faintly, “Although I don’t agree with this identity, in theory I should call you brother.”

The lamp god’s voice was calm and unperturbed. “Are you the ‘last son’?”

The declaration of the original creator spread through the spiritual world, the cosmic information library, to all beings that could receive it. The “Lamp God” was naturally no exception, even though He had the seal of the Heavenly Lord on Him.

After a brief moment of surprise, the “Lamp Spirit” regained his composure and shook his head.

“For beings of our level, there is no need to discuss these superficial family ties, especially for someone like you who joined in midway.”

He paused, “However, we can cooperate to a certain extent.”

Luke sat in the chair, leaning back in a relaxed, leisurely posture.

“Well, tell me?”

“You are quite good. You sneaked into the barrier in such a short time and returned to the level of a demigod. You defeated Bernadette and snatched me away.”

The golden blurry figure of the “Djinn” swayed slightly:
“Since you called me out, that means you need me, or the ‘Wishing Lamp’, right?”

Luke was noncommittal. “Indeed.”

“I can let you use the ‘Wishing Lamp’ normally.”

“The ability of the ‘Wishing Magic Lamp’ is to grant the holder ten wishes. With my blessing, most wishes that do not involve the true God can be realized.”

“I can fully cooperate with you to fulfill your wish and try my best to prevent the first three wishes from being distorted and alienated. In return, you need to release me and send me back to the starry sky before 1368 of this century.”

The “genie” spoke with a confident voice, but he didn’t come off as tough.

When the negotiating partner is a being of the same level, He shows a certain respect.

Lu Ke didn’t seem to be tempted. “You can only guarantee the first three out of ten wishes?”

The Lamp God coughed lightly and lowered his voice, “This is already a very lenient condition. Forcibly fulfilling a wish that is difficult to fulfill will cause the wish to be terribly distorted, and it will go against the wishes of the wisher.”

“If I don’t cooperate, you will need to carefully consider the first three wishes, and the upper limit will be limited, so they won’t be of much use. On the contrary, as long as they don’t involve the level of True God, your wishes can basically be realized.”

After the golden figure finished speaking, he chuckled in a mocking voice.

“Of course, although you will start to suffer backlash after making the third wish, you have a fake ‘Old One’ personality, so perhaps you can make a few more wishes.”

“But I need to remind you that the further you go in the future, the more distorted your wishes will become, and the more horrific the consequences will be.”

Luke smiled and shook his head, standing up and looking down at the golden figure, showing a contemptuous, natural, and condescending attitude.

“You tried to lead me to argue on the terms of the negotiation, but I did not forget that the choice of whether to cooperate with you was mine.”

“You are right. Existences at our level will not be affected by superficial emotions. So what do you think will happen to you when the end of the world comes in 1368?”

“Your ‘Land of Disorder’ is the embodiment of order and rules. More than one Ancient is interested in this source. As the original owner, you happen to be sealed. What will happen to you who are extremely weak?”

The “Lamp God” was silent for a while, and then a magnificent voice rang out.

“‘Uncertain Mist’ will come to take back the ‘Land of Disorder’, take back the remaining uniqueness and Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics, take me back, and become a complete ‘Son of Chaos’.”

The smile on Luke’s face deepened. “This brings us to the second question.”

“You put all your hopes on the ‘Uncertain Mist’. Have you ever thought whether it can win over the other old days? Have you ever thought whether the ‘Uncertain Mist’ still longs for your consciousness to return?”

“You have been separated for too long. Even though He still longs for you to return, you used to be the real body of the Son of Chaos, but now… hehe.”

“I believe that it is important for the Uncertain Mist to become a complete ‘Child of Chaos’…”

The pale golden figure swayed twice, and his mind automatically completed the next words.

But it doesn’t matter who becomes the complete “Son of Chaos”!

The “Lamp God” had thoughts racing through his mind, but he remained indifferent.

“The Uncertain Mist and I are one, and we long for each other. I am not the complete Son of Chaos, and neither is He. We may have more or less consciousness, but only when we are together can the Son of Chaos be reborn.”

Lu Ke could neither say that he did not believe this statement nor that he believed it completely.

Not all beings can be like Luke and his companions, who can completely trust and accept each other without any grudges.

Especially in the mysterious world, among the outer gods where all things have the instinct to gather together.

Without a “middleman” of sufficient weight, the law of the dark forest will appear, and every being will be both a hunter and a prey.

“You believe in the ‘Uncertain Fog’, but the ‘Uncertain Fog’ may not believe in you.”

Lu Ke added calmly that he himself did not expect to create a rift between the “Lamp God” and the “Uncertain Mist” with just a few words, but there was no harm in creating a possible chain of suspicion.

The Lamp God’s face gradually darkened. “What do you want to say?”

Luke had an extremely friendly smile on his face. “I can let you out earlier than the end of the world in 1368. This way you will have plenty of time to prepare.”

“Not only that, I can also help you hunt the ‘Uncertain Mist’, suppress its consciousness, and help you merge with it as the main body.”

The tone of the “Djinn” remained steady:

“So, what’s the price?”

Luke held up two fingers and smiled sheepishly.

“I want the uniqueness of your ‘Arbiter’ and ‘Black Emperor’, as well as the corresponding Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics.”

“No way!”

The pale golden figure of the “Lamp God” quickly changed into various shapes, as if it was in a state of rage.

“I didn’t ask you for the most precious ‘Land of Disorder’, which is enough to show my goodwill.” Lu Ke persuaded shyly, “And you know that these things are in the outside world, and you can’t decide whether they stay or go. Even if you don’t agree, I can find them.”

The “genie”‘s condition was slightly stable, but his complexion was still not looking good.

“The uniqueness of the Arbiter and the Black Emperor is the foundation of who I am. I cannot give it to you.”

“It’s just a temporary solution.”

Luke explained slowly, “I can only help you remove the seal when I recover enough strength, but my promotion will inevitably be hindered by the true gods on Earth, so I need your help.”

“If you agree to my terms, when you become a ‘Child of Chaos’ and obtain the uniqueness and Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics of other paths, you can also exchange them from me. How about that?”

The “Lamp God” fell into a long silence again.

Lu Ke immediately struck while the iron was hot, “Brother, you don’t want to be locked in the light all the time, do you?”

“The Genie”: …

“If you still don’t agree, then we have nothing to talk about.”

Lu Ke spread his hands and pretended to take back the “Wishing Lamp”.

The light-golden figure of the “Lamp God” swayed as if blown by the wind, and then the magnificent voice sounded:

“I agree to your request.”

His voice suddenly took on an indescribable majesty.

In Lu Ke’s eyes, the conceptual rules contained in the “Lamp Spirit” began to exert their power, and a highly binding contract was taking shape.

“My condition is that you lift the seal before reaching 1368 and help me suppress the consciousness of the ‘Uncertain Mist’ and ‘merge’ it with me as the main body.”

A bright light suddenly shone in Lu Ke’s eyes, and another binding contract also began to bear witness!
“My condition is that you do your best to fulfill my three wishes and transfer the uniqueness of the Arbiter and the Black Emperor and the ownership of the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics to me. When the Son of Chaos finds the uniqueness of other paths and the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics, you can redeem them.”

An invisible bond was imposed on the two people, and the contract was reached.

The “genie” who tried to bend the rules and make some small moves had a deep look in his eyes.

“Do you have the authority related to the ‘contract’?”

“You can’t compare to the ‘Son of Chaos’ who controls the rules. Fortunately, you are weak enough now.”

Luke smiled and replied slowly, “It’s safer to have two copies of a contract, isn’t it?”

The “genie” said nothing more.

Although there were some differences in the process, he felt an incomparable sense of comfort when the contract was signed.

It has been so long since the First Age, and He will finally be able to return to the starry sky in the near future.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a little more excited, and restrained himself from asking:

“What do you wish for now?”

Luke looked towards the Joward area far away from Queens, towards the apartment where he had been staying before, which was a little small but still warm.

He smiled and sighed, “So fate is something very strange even at our level.”

To be honest, becoming a lover with Hugh was purely accidental.

It was simply that she happened to be the first “acquaintance” he “gathered”, a beautiful, outstanding woman who happened to meet his preferences in some aspects, so he tricked her into bed.

However, after spending some time together, watching her study legal regulations at night just to better complete the arbitration, watching her worry about the future of the country, watching her care and indulgence in him in some aspects, Lu Ke couldn’t help but feel touched.

Xiu is indeed a very good girl, hardworking, kind, serious, and has firm beliefs, and most importantly, the determination to change the world.

Therefore, it is only right to give more preferential treatment to such good girls.

A few rays of light flashed in Lu Ke’s eyes, and a deep voice sounded.

“My first wish is, that Hugh Dilchar should be able to accommodate the ‘Trunsost Brass Book.’

The level involved in this wish is actually very high, and it was bound to result in an irreversible change for the worse.

Fortunately, the “Brass Book of Trunsost”, that is, the uniqueness of the “Arbitrator”, happens to be within the jurisdiction of the “Djinn”, and it only requires accommodation, which invisibly reduces the cost.

But, the first wish isn’t for myself?
The “Lamp Spirit” looked at Lu Ke in surprise, without showing any major emotional fluctuations.

The contract has been signed, and He must abide by the rules and fulfill His wishes.

“Remember your promise. If you break it, both you and your original body will perish.”

……

In a secluded apartment in Cherwood District.

Xio, wearing a trainee knight’s uniform with several stains on it, sat on the sofa in the living room. She was flipping through a book, but she couldn’t concentrate on the complicated text and felt quite irritated.

Four days had passed since Luke and Fors were driven away. Although there was nothing wrong with living alone, I still felt empty.

Xio walked to the mirror, which reflected her increasingly smooth and fair face and graceful figure.

She touched the delicate hairpin in her hair and the brooch on her chest, looked at the room which was neater and cleaner than ever before, and sighed angrily and helplessly.

It was clearly those two guys who were at fault first, and yet they haven’t come back to apologize yet!
If you just apologize…

No, even an apology cannot be forgiven so easily!
dong dong dong-

There was a sudden knock on the door. Xiu was stunned for a second, and a look of joy appeared on her face. She took a few steps outside and then stopped.

Then, Xio took a deep breath, replaced joy with dignity, put on an angry expression with a stern face, and walked over to open the door.

“It’s too late to apologize now…”

The voice stopped.

The person in front of him was not Luke or Fors, but an old man with a clean-shaven face, deep eyes, and wearing a black and red archbishop’s robe.

“Hello, Saint Anthony.”

Xio pursed her lips and politely greeted the Archbishop of the Church of Darkness.

The last time she went to the Church of the Goddess of Night to pray, she met a friend with whom she had a good chat. On the way home, the archbishop stopped her and asked if she wanted a “coronation”.

But before she could ask in detail, the archbishop disappeared.

“We meet again, ma’am.”

The archbishop smiled gently and kindly, “The coronation ceremony is about to begin.”

“The coronation ceremony?”

“Yes.”

Saint Anthony smiled and pointed to a certain place, “We will go to the Feysac Empire to prepare a crown for your coronation.”

“Yeah, the shape isn’t quite right though.”
