Chapter 118 – Oath
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
"This… this…" Billy couldn't help himself, this was so strange… and so cool!
he asked excitedly, "Can you tell me more about the oath tablet?"
Robin nodded, "The oath will stay active until the time limit in the oath is overdue, or when the tablet is destroyed. this is why I chose hard metal tablets as a medium so that they would not be easy to destroy with the passing of time and thus lose the imprint, but nevertheless, the tablets are still vulnerable to destruction if they fall into the hands of an average level knight,
If a certain amount of damage is done to the tablet then the oath will be of no importance anymore… so I advise that after the completion of the oath swearing process hide the tablet In an extremely safe place, throw it into a sea or dig a hall in a mountain and throw it there… let it disappears forever.
The death penalty is only one option, you can choose any other punishment that the soul may cause, for example going insane or losing memory for a specific thing… But of course, for something important as an allegiance oath for a period of a thousand years, the death penalty is the most appropriate for it, and if one of them dies then you make another elder take the oath, always have ten of them under the oath!
Each tablet can take ten different oaths, the same person can swear for ten different things or ten different people swear upon it… The important thing is that there are 10 empty slots to store the oath with the soulprint in it.
As I told you, you should make ten elders from each family that wants to be subordinate to us to swear an oath for allegiance and several other things, and I said ten people *at least* because in the beginning very few will believe what you say about the oath and a good number of them will probably die before they are come to their senses and know with Who are they dealing with.
When you choose a family to be one of our new nobles and make ten of them swear allegiance, don't make them swear an oath on the same tablet, but each on a different tablet, so that if something happens to one of the slates we don't lose control over the entire family…
Another important thing… Make sure that the oath they have to say is perfect in a way that there is no room for loopholes!
the tablet has no eye to see what a person does then decide for itself whether the person has betrayed the oath and deserves punishment or not.
Rather, it is activated when the person himself believes in his heart He is about to betray the oath… This feeling is an involuntary thing and no one can control it, but if the oath is full of loopholes, the person will do the thing with a reassuring self and therefore the punishment may not activate…
Meaning, if you make someone swear not to *tell* someone something, they may go and write that thing! that way he might not think he is betraying the oath and the punishment may or may not be activated… Therefore, the oath should be more careful, for example, make her swear not to leak that thing to anyone… This word is more comprehensive and the chance of activating the punishment will be much greater,
of course, all this talk about the tablet destruction and the loopholes must stay a secret until they find it themselves one day, you should only say that the oath is eternal and unpreachable.. that kind of bullshit.. is everything is clear so far?"
"clear … clear …" Billy nodded very slowly, His mind was still racing at the things that are now possible with this tablet.
Rather, his thinking swam a little farther to extend to the needs of the rest of the families around the world, no doubt all of them would pay anything to get a tablet like this!
Even Mila on the side was sitting with both hands on her mouth and her eyes wide open from the shock of what she heard, everything said now.. it will change a lot around the world!
Leaving aside all of Robin's other innovations, the oath tablet alone could make the Burton family one of the richest in the world!!
When Robin found Billy absent-minded and his mouth started to run dry from drooling as he chuckled as if he was dreaming, Robin got up from a seat, took two steps, and then with a slap, he smacked him at the back of the head, "Where did you go, clown, come back to reality!"
"Ouch!!" Billy quickly wiped his mouth and looked at Robin with furrowed eyebrows
"Hehehe." Robin chuckled at the scene, then went back to his seat and asked, "What's up with the three boys? Anything new?"
"Tsk~ I know I'm a few months younger than you but at least respect the fact that I'm a saint now! … nevermind, the three of them broke into the knighthood together two months ago, their abilities took a huge leap in every aspect, the reports say that they dueled with knights of the 14th level and were not defeated by them! What little monsters you trained for us, Robin…
Uncle David says that after their breakthrough, he had the whole army on the defense… except for those three! you wanted to train them there, so the saints there are treating them differently in this matter for you…
they would go out every day to find and exterminate the rebellion gathering spots, Most of the time these operations are done secretly between Peon and Theo, But when the rebel gathering is more than a certain number, the loud boy would join them in the party and a have the barbecue begins, while Peon fanning the flames.. literally! haha, I would pay to see that.
what I'm trying to say is that they are the spearheads for us there, they even killed three enemy knights so far in their raids, and their respect among the army reached heights that can only be compared to saints."
Robin nodded with a smile, everything is going well and according to his plan for them so far.
Billy continued, "Robin… can't you train others like the three of them? If you have the ability, it would be a shame if you don't… If we had a bunch of knights this strong, what would we be afraid of?"
"… I've been thinking about it for a while already but I was afraid that my law techniques would leak, I took that risk with Peon and Theo because I had no other choice, But I honestly was nervous as hell doing so!
I was even planning to make a few more little Generals like the three, but I didn't want to take that risk again… and I also got interrupted repeatedly because I had to make the talismans for the Bradleys, and everything that followed…
But I think the oath tablets will make everything easier from now on, I will give it more thoughts…" Robin nodded repeatedly, then he remembered something and raised his head to look at Billy strangely, "What are you still doing here? Go to the new lands and do your thing!!"
"Haha, okay, okay." Billy laughed loudly, then stood up and walked over to the tablets, picked up the nine of them from the floor, and was about to leave…
Then Robin shouted, "Wait!! Why are you taking the Nine tablets?! How many families have reached out to us so far and are fit enough to receive the technique?"
"Hmmm.. 14 families contacted us, but there are only 7 who have real weight in the new lands, they have thousands of members and many cultivators between the 6~10 levels, they will have a good future with a little push from us, the rest are just useless…"
"Take five tablets then!! tell you what…Take six, leave the rest to me, I need them here."
"But more families may come!" protest billy
"Then I'll make more tablets for you then!! Listen, I just got out of my seclusion and I don't intend to go back for a few days, leave me three boards and get lost!!"
Billy sighed, "You stubborn bastard… alright! If I need more I'll send a message to the patriarch via Uncle David's Ring."
Robin was astonished, "I gave you two pairs of rings, a pair of them with the Patriarch and Uncle David, how about the other pair? Why don't you have it?"
Billy shrugged, " The other pair is with the Patriarch and Duke Galan, our Patriarch has become so cute with two rings on his finger haha."
"With Galan?" Robin said it as if he understood something and looked at Mila
Mila finally came out of their initial shock with this look and exclaimed, "Why are you looking at me like that!!"
