The contract Lancelot drafted included several other requirements besides demanding that the Radiant Echo Cult kill the bastard son Saerfu and those ill-intentioned collateral relatives.
For example, one can learn many Fate Art and meditation methods of the Radiant Echo. Of course, Lancelot is also in the contract, guaranteeing that he will not spread this knowledge indiscriminately.
Furthermore, Lancelot can freely command Kuliya, who must unconditionally obey his orders, even if they are not suicidal.
Most importantly, the Radiant Echo Cult must not use any means to harm Lancelot's adoptive parents.
This was to prevent Radiant Echo from resorting to any means necessary to expedite Lancelot's succession to the position of patriarch, and instead choose to prematurely end the lives of his parents, especially his father Aide Medici.
Don't doubt the integrity of the Fate Master; if Lancelot hadn't taken precautions in the contract, this kind of thing would almost certainly have happened.
Apart from the above requirements, the other requirements are insignificant, and compared to what Lancelot paid in the contract, they are negligible.
After Leimingduo took the contract, his gaze lingered for a moment on the words about Lancelot's demands on his parents; the other demands, however, completely failed to capture his attention.
After carefully putting away the contract, Leimingduo looked at Lancelot with an unprecedented gentleness, as if he were looking at his own nephew, and his tone became kind. "Lord Luoni, I sincerely admire your courage and wisdom. Your actions are absolutely groundbreaking for the future development of Light Arrow Star. If all the nobles in this world were as righteous as you, how bright the future of the Star God Realm would be!"
As expected of an elder of a large Fate Master Sect, a figure who has lived for hundreds of years, his lies, tinged with flattery, come out without any hesitation.
Unfortunately, Lancelot wasn't truly a fool. Despite Leimingduo's flattery, he remained calm and simply asked, "So, can you tell me now, were the true planners and Walker of the switch incident the Radiant Echo Cult?"
Now that things had come to this, and the contract had been signed, Leimingduo dropped the pretense and chose to lay his cards on the table, directly admitting, "Oh, this was indeed done by some arrogant fool in the sect. When I get back, I'll definitely have the leader punish him severely to vent your anger, how about that?"
"That would be best." Lancelot smiled slightly.
[The mission "Identify the mastermind" has been completed]
[The mission reward of 1 Fate Gold Coin has been issued.]
[The Fate Shop is now open. You can use Fate Gold Coin to purchase items there.]
[The Fate War Rankings and corresponding reward lists are now open; please check them out.]
"Finally, it's finished!"
Looking at the gleaming golden Fate Gold Coin that suddenly appeared in his mind, Lancelot smiled.
Leimingduo found this strange, but didn't ask any further questions. After all, in his opinion, this incredibly wasteful kid was already a bit abnormal.
"Kuliya, from now on you will stay by the young Duke's side and be responsible for teaching him how to cultivate as Fate Master. At the same time, you must unconditionally obey the young Duke's orders, understand?" Leimingduo turned his head and said to Kuliya.
"Yes!"
Faced with Elder Leimingduo, who surpassed him in both status and strength, Kuliya could only helplessly lower his head, but he didn't feel much resistance in his heart, since his job duties hadn't changed much.
The contract clearly states that he won't be asked to do anything that would lead to his death, and that's enough.
Lancelot paid no attention to the conversation between Leimingduo and Kuliya; his focus was entirely on the Fate Shop in his mind.
Lancelot didn't use his only Fate Gold Coin to buy the "Revival Badge," but instead bought a "Basic All-Region Map."
Looking at the dots appearing on the map, Lancelot smiled, scrutinizing each dot with the eyes of someone eyeing prey.
"This is much better than expected. There are still 93 participants. If we can kill them all, the reward will be..."
Thinking of this, Lancelot turned to look at Kuliya, a smile on his face, as if he were looking at a scythe that was sharp enough.
It was still that magnificent, golden palace.
After returning to the Radiant Echo Cult, Leimingduo is reporting the situation to the higher-ups and handing the contract to the Radiant leader.
The latter examined the contract in his hand. Although it was just a thin piece of paper, its meaning was far heavier than mountains, rivers, and seas. It represented the weight of all humanity on the planet Light Arrow Star.
Even though Radiant Echo has won over the Light Arrow Star, as long as the Dynasty of Stars exists, the Medici Family, with the bloodline of the founding Duke, will not tolerate being humiliated, let alone completely controlled.
Even the original plan of Radiant Echo was only intended to indirectly influence the Medici Family through the illegitimate son Saerfu; they never intended to take control of the family.
However, unexpectedly, Luoni Medici heir whom he thought was an obstacle, personally handed the family over to Radiant Echo.
"If we had known it would turn out like this, why did we bother with all this trouble in the first place?"
The leader of the Radiant Realm put away the contract, deeply moved.
The other elders nodded in agreement, laughter rising and falling, clearly delighted.
Lei Mingduo Earth Dao with Leimingduo enthusiasm, "As long as we can control the Medici Family, the entire Light Arrow Star will belong to us. At that time, with the resources and population of the entire planet, the sect's growth rate will be at least several times faster. We old guys can also greatly extend our lifespan by borrowing the blood and souls of mortals. The future is promising!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many voices echoed, "Yes, we really look forward to that day coming soon."
After a long while, the laughter subsided, and the leader of the Radiant Light looked at Leimingduo and said, "Since you've promised that young Duke, Elder, please make another trip and escort Saerfu and the Maisili lineage into the natural Samsara."
"Yes!"
Leimingduo bowed his head and responded, then asked, "Does this matter need to be kept secret?"
The leader of the Radiant Stars pondered for a moment, then said, "Killing cannot be concealed, but the reason for the killing must be kept secret, especially from Lord Aide and his wife. Their son has signed such a pact with us."
"Are you afraid that Lord Aide will make the decision to kill his own son?"
"Don't underestimate the determination of the leader of a great family that has lasted for thousands of years. Although Lord Aide values his son, the Medici Family itself is his true Achilles' heel."
"I see!"
Leimingduo bowed and withdrew. The old man was indeed a veteran Fate Master; his efficiency was extremely high. Before long, the Medici Family discovered the bodies of Saerfu and the collateral branch of Maisili Maxi family.
All of them died in the same way: without any wounds, as if they had died in their sleep.
