Chapter 6 at the cost

The strange and beautiful body, painted with various magic patterns, fell weakly on the white jade platform. The fine and dense beads of sweat reflected the magic lights, revealing the charming halo of stars. The long light golden hair was like a flowing poem, slowly spreading on the white jade platform. The starry eyes were like two bays of lake water, and the water surface was covered with faint misty clouds.

She lay on the white jade platform with her eyes slightly closed and no more strength. The body of the elf who lost her strength was very weak, and the short storm had already made her unable to bear it.

A scarf gently wiped away the sweat beads from her forehead and the tears that had already flowed unconsciously. Then the hand gently brushed her eyes. After a moment, a little cold fell on her forehead.

This is the dark emblem, this is the curse from the demon of the abyss.

When it is finished, it is the end of everything.

Roger's last stroke finally fell. He looked at the calm Feng Butterfly in surprise, as if the curse power contained in the dark emblem had no effect on her. He took out another black crystal bottle and poured out several drops of liquid as thick as glue. As soon as the crystal bottle was opened, the disgustingly bloody smell spread throughout the room, as if the room itself was a huge pool of blood.

The blood-like potion quickly penetrated Feng Die's body without any traces.

When the majestic sound of Roger chanting the spell sounded, the wind butterfly was as calm as the corner of the windless lake, a drop of crystal water fell quietly.

When everything is over, can the lily in the night shed such clear tears again?

Is there a future you want ahead of you?

...

When it was late at night, the lights were still on in Elder Xius' room. The elf elder was in high spirits. At such a late night, he was still reading books and drinking tea alone.

His room was as simple and spotless as ever, making every visitor feel a clear and spiritual aura coming to his face.

At this moment, the water on the stove was just boiling, and the heat was just right. Seus put down the book in his hand and focused on preparing a cup of good tea for himself. It was rare for Froya to come and have no chance of scrambling him for tea, which made him feel very happy, but he was also confused.

After drinking this small cup of tea, Xius was excited. He lifted the kettle again and injected a cup of boiling water into an empty tea cup. The water vapor on the tea cup was filled with mist and it was not dispersed. In the blink of an eye, a volatile mass of air condensed into a volatile mass. The center of the mass suddenly became dark, and in the blink of an eye, a window leading to the distance opened in the water vapor.

The water vapor showed a large and deep room. More than a dozen mysterious figures wearing dark black robes and completely unobstructed faces sat around a wide round table, as if waiting for something. Their eyes suddenly looked at Seus on the water vapor side, all stood up, saluted them together, and then sat down.

"Dear Shadow of Nothingness." A mysterious man spoke, his voice sounded very old: "You must have seen the business of Shadow in the past three months. We have successfully snatched a lot of Prince Rog from the Dark Night Dancer. In the past three months, Prince Rog has provided us with at least 700,000 gold coins and became our most important guest. For this reason, the past three months have also been the three months with the largest income of Shadow. In order to further fight against the Dark Night Dancer, I propose to lower the price of providing services. After all, we still have a lot of room for profit now, so that we can completely fight him out of the Dark Night Dancer."

"I object!" Another old voice sounded: "The latest information shows that Prince Roger's treasury is empty, and he can no longer have the energy to buy our services. Now, it is time for us to cancel his VIP treatment and consider accepting a mission against Prince Roger."

"Can the 'shadow'' look be so short?" The previous spokesperson said in a deep voice: "It took Prince Rog to go from having nothing to winning the world. His financial difficulties are now in a good time for us to help and fight for him. I even think we should consider providing services first and then collecting funds to win such a client."

"He started his business by relying on the elves as cannon fodder and making money in war. Now he is the prince of the Aslofik Empire, how could he have such an easy war in war in war?"

For a moment, the elders present 'shadow' quarreled in two sides. In contrast, there were more voices opposing continued support for Roger.

Xius coughed, and the elders who were quarreling finally calmed down.

"Let's talk about it first. Have you ever had any recent missions for Prince Rog?" Sius said slowly. When his voice passed through the space window in the water vapor to the dark room, it had become a floating, empty and vague voice.

The mysterious person who opposes continuing to support Roger said: "My subordinates have recently received two tasks in the Empire. One is to investigate the information of a mysterious strong man around Prince Roger. The information provided by the guest only says that when the strong man appeared, he wore dark black full-body armor. He suspected that he was a woman, and there was no other information. The other task is to thoroughly investigate the secrets of the "Eye of Wisdom" church, especially who is their goddess Audreh, and who is still in the church. The client of both tasks said that remuneration is not a problem, as long as we can complete the task. According to my investigation, the real client behind these two tasks is likely to be the prime minister of the Empire, Straw. In all aspects, he is much more valuable than Prince Roger. However, our "shadow" has always ruled that we do not accept any tasks for VIPs, so I suggest canceling the treatment of VIPs. However, whether we can complete these two tasks must be decided by the respected Shadow of Nothingness."

Sius pondered for a long time and finally said, "The rules are not constant. Now the era of great turmoil is coming. This is the best time for us to take the opportunity to grow and surpass the "Dark Night Dancer" in one fell swoop to become the overlord of the dark world. When the turmoil comes, judging the direction of the future trend is the most important thing. I see that Prince Rogge is cruel and decisive and cruel. There is no mistake in betting some chips on such a person in the turmoil era. I agree with the method of lending that provides services first and then charges fees, but there is a limit, so 300,000 gold coins are the upper limit. Now is a special period, so Straw's two tasks are also followed. As for the reward, the investigation of the mysterious strongman is priced at 9 million gold coins, with a minimum of 8.5 million."

Xius's decision immediately made everyone present talk. They were all powerful people in the dark world, knowledgeable, but they never expected that it would be such a high price! In the past, the price of collecting information about the powerful people in the holy realm was only about two million gold coins, which was the price offered by the "Dark Night Dancer".

Sius waited for everyone to discuss for a while before saying, "The price itself has revealed a lot of information, so before quoting, you must first charge a fee of 500,000 gold coins. If Straw agrees, these fees will be deducted from the final total fee. If he does not agree, it will not be refunded, and it is regarded as the price of this information."

"As for the mission of the goddess Audreh, who investigates the 'Eye of Wisdom'..." Seus pondered.

The whole room became quiet and everyone was waiting for his decision.

Finally, Seus spoke: "I think 'Shadow' has half the chance to complete this task, and this can be true to Straw. As for the reward... it is the Damocles sword in Straw's hand! This will prevent him from underestimating our 'Shadow' ability!"

There was a dead silence in the room, with only heavy breathing sounds left.

Finally someone spoke: "The omniscient shadow of nothingness! Is the sword of Damocles actually in Straw's hands? This piece of information itself is worth millions of gold coins!"

There was a tremor in his voice, and he could not suppress the shock in his heart.

"If Strau doesn't agree, then sell this information. I think one million and a half million gold coins will be a very suitable price." Seus said calmly.

There was another buzzing discussion in the room.

Xius coughed again, and after he calmed down, he said: "Elders, the ability of 'shadow' to grow to its current scale is closely related to your hard work over the years. But the turbulent era is coming, and I think all elders are very clear that the only key to survival in the dark world is strength. I hope that all elders will work hard in this direction in the future. Also, how are the preparations of the westbound team?"

An elder replied: "This year's journey to the west has been prepared, and all the precious materials on the list are ready and you can set off at any time. But..."

"Just what?" Sius asked calmly.

The elder hesitated and said, "There are five hundred dragon warriors in the escort force provided by the 'Dark Night Dancer', and the price is fair. I'm afraid... they will make any moves in secret. After all, the travel teams in the west are of great importance, and we have invested the full year of income in this!"

Seus said decisively: "'Dark Night Dancers' is the king of the dark world for four hundred years, and their reputation is not to be doubted. After traveling thousands of miles west, it is extremely dangerous along the way. With five hundred dragon warriors with strong combat power, the grasp is much greater. Even if there is a risk, it is worth it."

"I follow your instructions, respectful shadow of nothingness."

After discussing the next few things, the vast vain black shadow above the round table that seemed to have swallowed all the light slowly dissipated, and all the "shadow" elders also left silently.

Sius poured the cooled water from the cup into the flower pond, took out a book, and started reading it leisurely.

The world of death.

The wind and moon are still asleep in the beautiful world in the painting.

Wina was sitting on the branch of a towering ancient tree, and the metal wings of the demon lotus were swaying slightly in the breeze. She was carefully flipping through the memories of the origin of God.

A huge figure flew across the sky. After hovering for several circles, it swooped down towards the world in the painting, hovering steadily in the sky by the lake.

This is a huge bone dragon.

There is only one Bone Dragon in the world of death that dares to approach Vina thousands of miles away. At this moment, the Bone Dragon not only shines with a holy milky white luster, but also has a milky white dragon scale belt more than one meter wide on it. This dragon scale extends from the top of its head, the nape of its neck to the tip of its tail. Although most of the Bone Dragon's body is still bones, it looks much more majestic, far from the weirdness and dissonance of the day when there were only one pair of fleshy wings.

The bone dragon leaned his head towards Weina and said with great worries: "Master Weina, Master Fengyue won't blame me when he wakes up, right?"

Wina raised her left hand upwards, and an unstoppable gravity immediately rolled and flew into the sky with the bone dragon.

While reading the memories of the origin of God, she casually said: "I have warned you several times, Gregory, don't get close to me until you completely become a sacred dragon! Fengyue... Let her sleep for a little longer, she's exhausted anyway."

She suddenly let out a light 'eh' and smiled and said, "This is quite interesting..."

The next moment, Vina had already soared into the sky and said, "Gregory! Keep this place and I'll go to that world once."

The bone dragon had only had time to howl: "Master Weina! Take me with me..." But Weina's figure had already disappeared into the void.

Gregory sighed and flew dejectedly in the sky for several rounds. It was not afraid of loneliness, although there was no undead creature within a thousand miles.

The bone dragon is afraid to face the wind and moon alone, even if it is just the sleeping wind and moon. The bone dragon has no idea at all. If Feng Yue wakes up one day, how will it face the two masters? The smart bone dragon knows that there is no answer to this question and can only leave it to fate, so most of the time it chooses not to think about it at all.

But when Vina left it alone to guard the world in this small picture, it could not help but think about this life-and-death issue.

The bone dragon slowly fell down, looking at Feng Yue who was sleeping peacefully, his wings kept trembling.

"Master Fengyue... Actually, I... I have no choice but to do it! You didn't bring me that day. If I don't surrender, Master Weina will definitely vent my anger. Alas, both of you are so powerful. If you are not careful, you will definitely destroy me. You also know that although the world of death is vast and boundless, no matter where I hide, Master Weina will be able to catch me. I... Although I am an undead creature, I am also afraid of death!"

"I know."

The bone dragon, who was sighing and talking to himself, was shocked. The extremely familiar and cold sound almost stopped its soul fire from beating!

Gregory raised his head tremblingly, and saw the pair of silver eyes also looking at it.

"Fengyue...Master..."

Feng Yue ignored the bone dragon and just lifted her right hand in front of her, looked carefully for a while, and then slowly flew up. Her speed was getting faster and faster, and she flew to the sky in a blink of an eye.

However, the petite figure in the gray robe suddenly stopped and fell down!

With a whistle, Feng Yue's wings suddenly unfolded, and then she stabilized her falling body. She staggered toward the sky and finally disappeared into the void.

The bone dragon felt a dizzy moment and could no longer support it. He fell into the small lake, causing a huge wave to soar into the sky.

At this moment, Fengdie was sleeping quietly on the white jade platform. The wound on her chest had long disappeared, and the skin on her body was as tender as before. Except for her long light golden hair that turned silver-gray, there was no other change.

On the other side of this spacious magic laboratory, Rogge, half-naked, was lying on the ground and drawing the magic circle with all his heart. The beautiful demon lotus had been floating behind him for a long time, and he had no idea at all.

Wina looked at him quietly until the fat man breathed a sigh of relief and stood up with satisfaction.

"It seems that you are already very proficient in curses." Wina still had that cold tone.

The fat man was startled, but he did not look back, but rushed forward like lightning, leaving a silver light shield on the spot. Roger turned around in the air, and then he saw Vina who was standing still in the air.

The fat man calmed down and smiled, "I have gained some new experience in studying magic these days, and I just want to try it out. I have been bullied by these druids for so long and I can't get out of this anger. Although I can't do anything to them, it's good to scare them. So they can't always attack without worries."

Wina quietly watched Roger begin to chant spells at the small light gray mist in the center of the magic circle. Then she began to scan the entire magic laboratory, and finally her eyes remained on Feng Die.

Roger's spell finally ended and he fell into a state of stagnation.

In a primitive dense forest within the empire, there is an unknown secret camp of Druid. There are countless such camps in the entire empire.

What is rare is that there is a hot spring in the camp. At this moment, the tall and handsome Lei Luo had just come out of the hot spring. He was wearing only a pair of trousers, revealing his upper body full of power and beauty. He had an inconspicuous dagger on his waist. It was obvious that he valued this dagger very much and refused to take it off for a moment when enjoying the hot spring.

Leilu walked into the central hall of the camp, where two older druids were already waiting. Leilu sat down and was about to discuss the important matter, he let out a muffled groan and jumped out of the chair.

He quickly took down the dagger from his waist and threw it to the ground immediately, as if the one holding it was not the magical soul-eating dagger, but a piece of red iron. At this moment, the position where the dagger was originally attached to his waist was already charred.

The two Druids were far less powerful than Lei Luo. They stood up with a confused look on their faces, not knowing what had happened.

The light gray mist emitted from the Soul-eating Dagger, which finally formed a human form and its face became clearer and clearer.

That fat, slim and proud face is Roger!

Lei Luo was extremely familiar with this fat face and even the body made of gray fog. He was looking for an opportunity to insert the Soul-eating Dagger into Roger, but he never expected that Roger would turn against him and completely disrupt his plan. With no choice, he had to use his real ability to break out of the siege. As for the life and death of Princess Malika's master servant, it was not the scope of his consideration.

This fat man, who was given a series of adjectives such as "sincidental, despicable, deep-scheming, and vicious" by the Presbyterian Church, is indeed a very headache-inducing character. Lei Luo has had the Soul-eating Dagger for several years and has the magical artifact of the Goddess of Nature as a buffer, but he still cannot fully control this extremely dangerous artifact. He must be careful every time he uses it.

But this fat man was able to appear through the Soul-eating Dagger!

Lei Luo was shocked, and still calm on the surface, saying, "It turns out it was you! It's a pity that you didn't kill you. But you haven't been arrogant for a long time. Do you have any last words?"
