Chapter 008: A Second Chance

Although none of the sorcery Jia Fang had collected could deal with a dragon, some of the spells greatly broadened Wang Bo's horizons. This was the first time Wang Bo had come into contact with such a mysterious power.

Compared to groping alone by himself, it was as if a broad road to the heavens had been opened, and he lay prostrate at Wang Bo's feet.

Holy shit, so magic can actually be used like this.

I've broadened my horizons, truly broadened my horizons.

For a moment, Wang Bo even cast aside the thought of dealing with the giant dragon, losing himself in witchcraft and unable to extricate himself.

Time slipped away unnoticed.

The sun rose high, hanging in the sky.

But Wang Bo remained absorbed in sorcery, deaf to all outside affairs.

Just then, a parrot suddenly flew in from outside and said to Wang Bo, "Great trouble is afoot, great trouble is afoot."

Wang Bo was startled from his obsession and looked up at the parrot. This parrot, named Aige, was Jia Fang's pet; it could not only talk but also possessed a certain intelligence.

Wang Bo heard the other say that something was very wrong, and couldn't help asking, "What happened?"

The parrot said, "Guard, guard, harmed, harmed."

Wang Bo's heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly, his door was forcefully pushed open, and the Sultan's guard, Hajin, walked in, his eyes blazing as he looked at Wang Bo, and said bluntly, "Minister, the Sultan summons you!"

Wang Bo asked, "What's the matter?"

Hajin said, "Minister, you will know when you get there. Do not keep the Sultan waiting."

Wang Bo did not refuse, nodded and said, "All right."

A little over ten minutes later, the two of them passed through corridor after corridor and entered the main hall of the palace.

The Sultan sat on his throne, looking down at Wang Bo from on high. On the ground before him lay three withered corpses, each still dressed in the clothes of a palace guard.

For a moment, Wang Bo seemed to understand something.

The Sultan said bluntly, "Jafar, what on earth is going on here?"

Wang Bo said politely, "As you can see, Your Majesty, a new victim has appeared."

The Sultan rose angrily from the throne and descended the steps. "Of course I know there's a new victim, and it's a palace guard who died. What I want to ask is, why was a palace guard murdered!"

“Jia Fang, you should have caught the murderer yesterday, but you failed to do so. You have betrayed my trust!!!”

Wang Bo said flatly, "Yes, that was my dereliction of duty."

"Jia Fang!!" The Sultan grew even more furious, deeply dissatisfied with Wang Bo's attitude.

Hajin looked at Wang Bo with a hostile expression.

Wang Bo said, “Forgive my dereliction of duty, Sultan. I will do everything in my power to catch this murderer and give an account to the deceased.”

The Sultan said bluntly, "Do you think I will still trust you, Jia Fang? Last night a palace guard was murdered, and you were nowhere to be found. You have already betrayed my trust."

Wang Bo said, "Yes, I have already betrayed your trust, but I think you should trust me."

"Trust you?" The Sultan looked into Wang Bo's eyes, his gaze growing vacant. "Yes, trust you, yes, I should trust you."

Wang Bo's pupils emitted a faint, eerie gaze. "Yes, Sultan, you should trust me. I am your minister. Besides me, who else can you trust?"

"That's right, you are my minister, I should trust you," the Sultan said, enunciating each word.

What Wang Bo was now performing was the hypnotic sorcery. In the storyline, Jafar had once used it on the Sultan. It was not some remarkable sorcery, merely a minor trick.

When Wang Bo was leafing through Jia Fang's collection just now, he had seen this sorcery.

Now, on a whim, he suddenly used it.

What surprised Wang Bo was that he actually succeeded.

Although it was only a minor spell, succeeding on the first attempt was enough to prove Wang Bo's talent in this area. Of course, Wang Bo was not so arrogant as to think this was his own ability.

In fact, Wang Bo believed that the reason he could succeed in casting witchcraft on his first attempt was very likely due to the Spartan bloodline within him, which granted him such talent.

Hajin, standing behind the Sultan, couldn't help but frown. He sensed that something was off—the Sultan's accent and demeanor had become very strange.

"Your Majesty the Sultan," he couldn't help but step forward and call out softly.

The Sultan king instantly broke free from this hypnotic sorcery, his gaze gradually becoming clear.

"No, I cannot forgive you." He spoke subconsciously: "You have disappointed me greatly, Jia Fang!"

Wang Bo saw this scene and was not overly disappointed. This hypnotic sorcery was originally a minor spell, easily interrupted; in fact, being able to hypnotize someone with a gaze was already quite remarkable.

The vast majority of hypnotists in the world cannot do this.

When Hajin saw the Sultan come back to his senses, he felt even more that something was wrong, and couldn't help but scold, "Minister, what have you done to His Majesty the Sultan?"

Wang Bo sighed, took something out of his four-dimensional pocket, and displayed it before the two of them.

"Actually, I did nothing. Can you forgive me?"

The Sultan and Hakim nodded and said, "Yes, we forgive you."

Wang Bo spoke again: "Your Majesty the Sultan, last night was my dereliction of duty. Can you forgive me?"

"Yes, I forgive you."

"Very good!"

Wang Bo smiled with satisfaction. The item he had just taken out was a treasure from the previous world: the Demon Passport, which grants forgiveness for any misdeed.

In fact, when he was in the Miracle Treasure Cave, Wang Bo had wanted to take out the Demon Passport and have the giant dragon forgive him for disturbing it.

But, considering that the dragon's mental resistance might be extremely high, Wang Bo dismissed the idea.

After all, no one knew whether the Demon Passport would work on the giant dragon.

If it didn't work, he might very well expose the four-dimensional pocket.

But for ordinary people, the Devil Passport is definitely a sharp tool. Once Wang Bo took it out, he easily handled Sultan and Hajin.

After that, Wang Bo put away the passport and said, "King Sudan, leave the matter of the murderer to me. I will catch him in the shortest time possible."

The original work never mentioned whether the Demon Passport would lose its effect when not in sight, but Wang Bo reckoned that this thing could either permanently control a person's mind or make them lose their previous memories.

Otherwise, Dora wouldn't have repeatedly mentioned that this is a very terrifying passport.

And the demon passport would not become a forbidden item.

"All right, I'll give you one more chance, Jia Fang."

In fact, it proves that even when this thing is not in sight, it can still take effect.

The Sultan ultimately forgave Wang Bo's negligence and decided to give Wang Bo another chance.
