Looking to Heaven in Hell Chapter 6 The Price
At the cost of looking up to heaven in hell
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 Fengdie'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 fall into 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. The heat was just right. Seus put down the book in his hand and prepared a cup of good tea for himself. It was rare that Froya didn't come to compete with 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 mutated mass. The center of the mass suddenly became dark. 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 Aslofik Empire 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 time 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 tasks for Prince Rog recently?" 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 and suspected that he was a woman, so 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 it does 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 it is better to use 300,000 gold coins as 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. They were knowledgeable, but they never expected that it would be such a high price! In the past, the price of collecting information related to the powerful people in the holy realm was only about two million gold coins. That was the price offered by the "Dark Night Dancer".
Sius waited for everyone to discuss for a while before saying, "This price has already 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. Everyone was waiting for his decision.
Finally, Seus spoke: "I think 'shadow' has half 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 waited for quietness. 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 for 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 combat-capable dragon warriors, the more you can grasp it. Even if there is a risk, it is worth it."
"I follow your instructions. The respectful shadow of nothingness."
After discussing the next few things, the large area of nothingness above the round table seemed to have swallowed all the light slowly dissipated. 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. It is far from the weird and disharmonious thing when there were only one pair of fleshy wings that day.
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, before you completely become a sacred dragon, don't get close to me within a thousand meters! Fengyue... Let her sleep for a little longer, she's exhausted anyway."
She suddenly let out a light 'eh' and then 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 one day the wind and moon wake up, 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 issue of life and death.
The bone dragon slowly fell down, looking at the peaceful and peaceful Fengyue, and its wings kept trembling.
"Master Fengyue... Actually, I... I have no choice but to do so! You didn't bring me with you 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 wants to catch me, it will be easier. Although 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 sound of brushing the ground, Fengyuedi's wings suddenly spread out. Only then did she stabilize her falling body. She staggered toward the sky and finally disappeared into the void.
The bone dragon felt a dizzy moment. He could no longer support him and fell into the small lake, causing a huge wave to soar into the sky.
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?"
Roger, made of gray fog, smiled and said, "Lei Luo, it seems that you don't know much about the Soul-eating Dagger. Let me let you see its true face! Can you still move now?"
Lei Luo was shocked and tried to move, but his body was completely paralyzed. The two druids also knew that the situation was serious, but they could not hurt Rog, who was made of gray fog, whether they used magic or weapons.
Roger laughed and said, "Leiro, you are in Dresden these days. That place must be very comfortable, right? I'll make it more comfortable!" As he said, the fat man walked to Leiro who was unable to move and kicked him hard between the legs!
Lei Luo still couldn't move, but his face was already blue!
"You're so strong! You can't even be disabled by this!" the fat man exclaimed.
Lei Luo gritted his teeth and looked at Roger who was beginning to become thinner, and said fiercely: "Do you only have this ability?"
Roger, whose figure gradually disappeared, sneered and said, "This time I'm just giving you a lesson. Next time I'll sting your eyes! You bring a message to the old things in the Elders, so that they'd better put iron armor on their eyes before going to bed! I may not come back again at any time!"
It was not until this time that Lei Luo realized that he was already sweating profusely. He looked at the soul-eating dagger on the ground, not knowing whether he should pick it up for a moment.
"Nothing!" Wina looked at Roger who had recovered and said coldly.
Roger smiled and said, "I just want the Druids to be suspicious and have concerns. By the way, Feng Yue, what's wrong with you here this time?"
With Vina grabbing the void with his left hand, the fat man flew into the slender hand by himself. Then the remaining mental power flowed into Vina's hand like a hundred rivers entering the sea. The flowing luster in the patterns on the demon lotus lit up a little in the blink of an eye.
Wina relaxed her hands, and Roger, who was almost exhausted, fell to the ground.
She chuckled and returned to the world of death with satisfaction, just thinking: "It feels good to get something for nothing! No wonder greed is a sin..."
As soon as Vina's figure disappeared, Feng Yue with black hair and silver eyes quietly appeared from the other side.
Seeing the fat man with empty mental power, she couldn't help but be stunned...
