Chapter 15: Glory

"It turns out to be the wise Miss Adrenie. I couldn't let go of magic just now. It's your masterpiece, right?" The fat man said, and finally got up and tidied up his clothes calmly. He was extremely thick-skinned and did not take the embarrassment just now seriously.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Adrenie reminded him with a smile.

Roger smiled and said, "It was probably because she accidentally lost, so she was not convinced."

"It's normal for her to lose to you. You must have done something else!" Edrenie said with a smile.

"In the name of the dark gods, I absolutely did nothing!" Roger said solemnly.

Although he had nothing to do with Adrenie, if he had anything, he should have only caution. But for some reason, maybe it was because of the exchange agreement proposed by Miro, maybe it was because he would always see Elyss from her, maybe it was because the atmosphere she intended to create, there seemed to be a little inexplicable ambiguous relationship between them. So Rogue instinctively chose an answer that would satisfy any woman.

But Adrenie obviously didn't believe it. She smiled slightly and said, "The Dark Gods are different from Hilo or other Light Gods. They hold revenge and have a strong desire to take revenge. If you swear randomly in their name, you will probably have a bad fate. The worst outcome is that the gods' agents will come directly to you."

Roger was startled and said, "I am not a big man, I am not worthy of such care among the gods, right?"

He looked at Adrenee again and said alertly: "You can't be the agent of any dark god, right? It must be like this, otherwise how could you be so powerful? I have never seen anyone on the mainland who has the magic power of a greater magician at your age!"

Adrenie smiled softly and said, "I don't have the qualifications to be the agent of the gods. But I do know such an agent, and maybe you will have a chance to see it soon. I really have no malice, and you don't have to be so wary of me. To put it bluntly, how could you not know my identity as a demon?"

The fat man didn't expect that she would wear it so directly, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he smiled and began to talk about it: "Hehe, didn't Miro come? Didn't he follow you all the time?"

"He, you're reflecting behind closed doors! We don't need to pay attention to him." Adrenie smiled. She suddenly walked towards Roger and came to Roger. She reached out and grabbed his hand, and said gently: "I know you're very busy, but can you take some time to talk to me now?"

Roger smiled bitterly and said, "Can I say no?"

"Of course not."

After a moment, the two of them had appeared on a mountain.

Adrenie stood at the top of the peak, and the strong wind blew her elegant long skirt. Looking from behind, she was really touching. She looked around for a while, then sighed and said, "What a beautiful world."

The terrain around Richelieu is flat, and the mountain is neither high nor dangerous. Looking around, there are lead clouds in the sky, ice and snow on the ground, and there is a large area of ​​dense coniferous forest at the foot of the mountain. The dark green canopy makes people feel depressed. Even Rogue could tell that no matter where you look, you can't say anything good.

Adrenie seemed to know what Roger thought, so she said, "If you have been to the Demon Realm and stayed in several major Demon Realms for a while, you will feel that any place in this world is so full of vitality. A place with vitality is a beautiful place."

"Demon Realm?" Roger immediately asked calmly when he heard a new word.

As if he had not noticed his intention at all, Adrenie explained: "The Demon Realm is some special place in the Demon Realm. The environment there is too bad even for our demons. How to say, the Demon Realm is like the ice ocean or the crater of this world. The most famous Five Demon Realm have their own characteristics, so it often becomes the place for the cultivation of the superior demons."

Roger asked again: "Which five major demon realms are they? You are so powerful, you must have practiced in one of the demon realms, right?"

"I chose the Mist Demon Realm, and the characteristic there is loneliness. Any demon who enters the Mist Demon Realm will be overwhelmed by the Mist Demon Realm with infinite power, and lose all the direction and time. There is no way to sense the outside world, and you can only see a few meters away around you. In fact, the cultivation of the Mist Demon Realm is very simple. It is to walk in and find the way to come out from the other side, and your strength will naturally increase greatly."

Adrenie said it lightly, but Roger was shocked. He was also an expert in torture, knowing that isolating prisoners in space without light, sound, and empty space is one of the most powerful punishments. Few prisoners can survive for many days without going crazy.

He took a deep breath and asked, "How big is the Mist Demon Realm?"

Adrenie turned around, looked at Roger, and smiled and said, "You are very smart. You know so quickly what is unique about the Mist Demon Realm. If measured by the unit of measurement in this world, the Mist Demon Realm should be 10,000 kilometers in radius."

The fat man took a breath, frowned and looked at Adrenie, and slowly retreated.

Adrenie smiled softly and said, "If I wanted to kill you, I would have killed you long ago. Even the two goddesses behind you may not have time to save you! After all, they have not become gods for a long time, and the time when the Dark Lords existed may be longer than the history of this plane."

Roger was shocked again, and he suddenly said, "Is it you who stole the things?"

"What are you talking about?" Adrenie frowned and asked in confusion: "Steal your stuff? Is there anything you deserve to steal?"

Roger thought about it again and again, it was unlikely that it was her. Adrenie did not have a magical item on her body, and she obviously had a very weak demand for material things. Moreover, from her words, it can be seen that she was closely related to the Dark Goddess and would not like his little divine power of the Goddess of Nature.

"Nothing." The fat man smiled.

She also smiled slightly and stopped pursuing this matter.

Adrenie is different from any woman Roger met in this life. She is like a gentle breeze, quietly breeze blowing by you. When there is wind, you will feel very comfortable. When there is no wind, you will often forget the existence of the wind. She is tolerant and gentle, but she also has an indifference of not caring about everything in the world.

The two of them returned to silence and stood at the top of the peak for a long time. Finally, Adrenie said: "Rog, what you have done for Elyss is already well known in the Demon World. So I will come to you this time and hope you can help us. Because we have a common enemy, he is the General of the Demon World, Artest."

"Atester?" Roger's pupils shrank sharply. He repeatedly recited the name, and the past came to his heart like a tide.

A generation of extremely powerful existences even praised Elisis, whose magic power is far superior to the magician, and the strong one in the Demon Dragon clan was awarded the position of general by chasing the Demon Emperor. A conspirator lured Elisis into a trap with just a piece of scale, causing her to eventually turn into a statue of Purgatory Angel in the Holy Flame, and also cut off his dream in the Demon Realm.

This is Roger's full impression of Artest.

"I am just an ordinary human magician. You must see clearly how strong I am. Faced with an existence like Artest, I don't even have room to intervene." Roger said lightly.

Adrenie smiled and said, "Your profiteer's nature has not changed, and you want to bargain again. But I don't like this. Artest is our common enemy. He has been busy blocking the passage between the demon world and this plane, so he has no time to cause trouble for you. My conditions are very simple. If you do your best to help me, I will become your most trusted ally in the future. It doesn't matter if you refuse, I will challenge Artest with Miro. Whether it is life or death, just follow the arrangements of the dark gods."

Roger had adapted to her straightforward style and frowned and said, "Although there are many strong people around me now, I can't command almost any of the others except one. How can I help you?"

"Only the only one who scolds you asshole? But she is really pretty." Adrenie praised with a smile.

The fat man smiled and did not answer.

"It's hard for her to intervene in this kind of battle. If you want to challenge Artest, you must find a way to touch the two goddesses behind you. Well, although they are a little fierce, they are really good to you."

Roger was silent for a while and suddenly asked, "Listen to your tone, it is actually equivalent to suicide when you and Miro go to challenge Artest? Why do you still insist on challenging him?"

Adrenie said lightly: "If the space channel cannot be opened within a certain period of time, then my mission will be defeated. The agent I mentioned once will come to this plane in person and fight Artest to the death. But no matter whether it wins or loses, Miro and I will become its slaves from now on. I would rather die in battle than be a slave."

After hearing her bottom line, Roger suddenly felt itchy and wanted to take advantage of the situation. Adrenie's eyes lit up slightly, and the golden and blue light appeared. She stared at Roger and said, "You'd better not think about it."

The fat man was shocked, and this saved the woman on the other side was not a weak person. She was a terrible witch who could easily destroy herself with her hands. In this place where she was helpless, it would be better to provoke her less. Moreover, since he met Feng Yue once, the last little connection between him and Feng Yue was interrupted. From then on, his summons would no longer be able to be passed on to Feng Yue's ears, so naturally he could not expect Feng Yue to come and help.

Roger suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "I will help you. You know what I can't promise, but I will definitely do my best."

"Then the deal was completed." Adrenie stretched out her hand and hit Roger with a palm.

Only after this high-five did Rogge realize that her palm was as soft as boneless, and that was ice and greasy. He immediately swayed in his heart. As soon as he closed his hands, he wanted to hold her hand, but Adrenie acted like a slight smoke, and gently pulled her hand out.

She smiled faintly and said, "Rogge, there are so many beautiful women around you. You won't even want anyone with a look like me, right? You are really not picky about food."

Indeed, almost any part of Adrenie's body can be compared with any peerless beauty. Only her face, if she is a person's figure, is really a bit reluctant. The advantage she can say is that she looks very grand.

The fat man smiled, put away his slickness and said, "Anyway, there is still some time. Can you tell me about the Demon World, talk about Elyss, and yourself?"

Adrenie gathered her long hair that was somewhat messy in the wind, and she was as elegant as Lan, and slowly said: "The Demon Realm is very vast. The Demon Realm you mentioned is actually a general term for more than ten different planes. Each plane has its own lord. The most powerful of all lords will become the Emperor of the Demon Realm and inherit the power from the Demon God. Elyss and I are both the daughters of the current Demon Emperor. Speaking of which, she is a little older than me. But don't think that the Demon Realm princess has a prominent position. The Demon Realm only depends on strength. No matter whether you are a princess or a prince, if you don't have extraordinary power, it will be looked down upon. What's more, in the long life of the father, there have been more than 200 princes and more than 100 princes. Fortunately, the bloodline of the Demon Realm royal family has always been a symbol of strength. With it, you can easily possess powerful power.

Therefore, it is not easy for those princes and princesses to have weak power, and no one has ever embarrassed the royal family. The demon world is a generation of a hundred years. At that time, among all the demons under the age of five hundred, Elysis, Miro and I were recognized geniuses, and our paths of choosing strength were different. However, Elysis was the most dazzling one. She almost gathered all the glory of the demon race, and her magical attainment quickly caught up with the elders of the demon race. At that time, she was extremely arrogant and did not take any existence seriously at all, and even did not respect the demon gods. More than a hundred years ago, I lost seventeen times under her hands, but I never wavered by the path I chose, so I chose to enter the Mist Demon Realm. When I came out of the Demon Realm and was about to defeat her, I heard Artest's betrayal and... her ending."

"Then what is your purpose in coming to this plane? Are you trying to conquer?" Roger asked frowned.

Adrenie smiled bitterly in a rare manner and sighed, "No, it's refuge."

"Salary? What's going on?" Roger was greatly surprised.

"I will tell you when the time is right in the future. But now is not the time. OK, it's not too late, so it's time to go back. When I find Artest's whereabouts, I will inform you."

Before Roger could say anything, Edrenie's eyes flashed and her figure disappeared.

Roger returned to the mansion and was heading towards the study when he suddenly found Sius drinking in the garden. The fat man walked over and poured himself a large glass of wine without saying a word. After a long time, he was satisfied and squirted out a sip of wine. Roger welcomed Sius's new hobby. He had no taste of tea, and he could still distinguish the quality of wine.

"Elder Sius, do you think I should help the demons?" Roger suddenly asked.

Xius pondered for a moment and said, "Sometimes helping others is also helping yourself. Sometimes, helping others is harming yourself. This may be a criterion for judgment. As for other considerations, it is often unrealistic things. For example, the demons believe that most of the people who should kill them have faith in the gods in the heavens. Therefore, your decision should not be influenced by these people, but should only be judged based on your own actual situation."

Roger smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if it's good for me to help the demons. But the disadvantage is very clear. I'm equivalent to finding another very powerful enemy for myself. But now I feel that I tend to help the demons. I have to admit that Adrenie is indeed very good at convincing people. Elder Seus, have you seen any traces of spiritual charm magic that I have ever seen?"

Sius shook his head and said, "You can be called a master of spiritual magic. Since you can't even detect whether you have ever been spiritually charming magic, I can't see it. But I have seen Adrenie, and I tend to be that she hasn't done anything to you. I can only say that she is too convincing. Speaking of which, these demons can be said to be good guys in addition to some inherent shortcomings of the race."

Roger sighed, drank another glass of strong wine, his face was slightly drunk. He held his forehead and sighed, "I don't know whether my decision was right or wrong. But now I have a feeling that I must kill Artest. Alas, why do I always have a lot of things I have to do now?"

Sius smiled and said, "That's because your status is different. We all know that the wind is strong in the sky, but only towering ancient trees can feel this kind of wind. Those low shrubs that live under the shade of ancient trees cannot know this kind of taste."

The fat man sighed, "But sometimes I really want to be a shrub."

"If you can put down the many shrubs or grasses that are harboring your shade, there is nothing wrong with doing this." Sius's words sounded more like a threat than a consolation.

The fat man was silent for a moment and finally said lonely: "Of course I understand. But after agreeing to Adrenie, I still have to find a way to convince those two guys..."

Xius smiled knowingly, obviously knowing Roger's distress. But the old fox just said, "I'm afraid there is no good way. Who makes you surrounded by this kind of person who is too fierce... No, it's a strong... it's not right. It's a talented woman? It's probably much more difficult to get them to work together than to defeat them! I don't have any good way, you can deal with it slowly by yourself, haha, haha!"

Looking at the gloating Sius, the fat man was so angry that his eyes were about to spit out fire. He gritted his teeth and said, "Of course this is difficult, so you'd better be able to go with me."

"Of course not!" Sius immediately refused: "I have selected twenty elves killers and are expected to arrive in the provinces of Retton and Duke Doriac in three days. This is important, and I have to watch it myself. You don't want the elves to suffer any damage, right? Well, by the way, I heard that in the past year, the price of a young and outstanding elf woman in the slave market has risen by three times!"

This immediately hit the fat man's vital point. He snorted, his face turned pale, and he couldn't speak for a while. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "You can only care about one side. Who will lead the other group of killers?"

"Effie." Seus said with a smile.

The fat man frowned and said, "Effie? How could she be..." He immediately remembered that wherever Effie went, her teacher Constantine must be followed. With such a cardinal supporting her behind her back, she could indeed be rampant everywhere.

But the fat man was worried again: "Do you see that Constantine is reliable? He doesn't have any other intentions..."

"The character of the Cardinal is still commendable. At least he shouldn't have any lust." Sius pointed out what Roger was really worried about. It was just that his guarantee sounded light and had no weight at all.

After seeing off Seuss, in the next few days, Roger fell into a crazy job. He was completely sleepless and dealing with complicated official duties one by one.

Every day, dozens of urgent reports will be sent from the Principal of Ale. After Rogge reviews it, it will be distributed to the corresponding personnel for processing. At this time, all the troops in the Principal of Ale are mobilizing, the fortresses on the border are being reinforced, and after the reorganization of the defenders is being completed, they are speeding up all the time to train.

Various weapons specially used to defend against orcs have been initially trial-produced, and in small batches, the defenders of a small fortress have even obtained new weapons. Under the fanaticism of Adeer, the operation efficiency of the entire Duchy of Ale was amazing. The Bauhinia Butterfly turned the defense center of the entire Duchy of Ale, based on the already formulated plan. At this moment, the Duchy of Ale was like an extremely huge beast, slowly turning around, aiming his claws and teeth in the direction of the central mountain range.

Food is a big problem, but it is not impossible to solve. Roger knew very well what kind of power the Duke of Leighton and Duke Doriak had. This group of selected elves killers were in charge, and they were definitely not something their guards could defend. The fat man gave the elves killers the order to sneak into the mansion where the two men rested every night. No matter who they were, they would kill them when they saw them, and they would withdraw when they could kill ten. The next day was still the same until the two began to transport food to the Duke of Ale.

The fat guys don't believe that their nerves can last for a few days in fear.

At the same time, Roger began to secretly send people to sell jewelry that the elves had accumulated over the years through the Empire's open or underground market, and to buy high-quality magic raw materials. Even if it is useless for the time being, he would buy it and put it on. Who knows when these raw materials will be useful?

He spent all his time with his spare time meditation or magic research.

Roger refused to give himself a little space, because as soon as it was empty, he would involuntarily return to that dream. He was exhausted both physically and mentally, and really didn't want to experience this endless torment again.
Chapter completed!
