Chapter 11: A Strange Deal
PS next: Nearly 5,000 words of big chapters, just ask for one of your collections.
The old woman spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with a few broken teeth.
The acolytes usually walk the world, although they are dressed in rags, but the believers are extremely respectful to them, where has the old woman been insulted today? For a while, I was annoyed and angry, and I lost my mind.
"Slut! Dare to meddle with the affairs of the Sect of Light, take your life! ”
Forgetting the difference in each other's strength, the old woman shouted, and activated the staff, and a golden light shot towards Elena's face, the holy light through the body is just a low-level holy art, and it doesn't need to be triggered by a spell, and it will shoot through Elena's forehead in less than a blink of an eye!
Elena didn't panic, she pulled out one of her long hair, and instantly turned into a red feather, her slender thumb and index finger flicked the feather lightly, and the red feather turned into a meteor and collided with the holy light, and the golden light was immediately knocked away and annihilated in the air.
The feathers blocked by the holy light did not stop, and directly pierced the old woman's chest, and the old woman snorted, staring at the ground and lying on the ground, unable to breathe.
Everything happened in an instant, and the old woman's heart was stuck with a bright red feather, which reflected the blood flowing out of Mimi.
The old woman could not have imagined that she was a slaughterer a quarter of an hour ago, and the next moment she was a corpse.
Elena moved lightly and gracefully walked towards the corpse, not like a murderer, but a noble lady who had strayed into the wooden house and came to sightsee.
"It's dirty, it can't be used."
Covering her nose in disgust, Elena waved her hand, and the red feather immediately burst into flames, and burned up, burning the old woman's corpse completely, leaving only black fly ash, but the wooden floor was unscathed.
Human life is not even worth a feather in her eyes.
During the whole process, the acolytes did not dare to act, they wanted to avenge the old woman, but they were more concerned about whether they could save their lives from this moody woman! So revenge or something, it's none of my business, let's put it aside......
"Now, can someone answer my question?"
Elena took her place and sat down.
"Grandpa Amanda is dead, may I ask the senior, are you his friend?" Mondo replied.
"Children are not allowed to ask questions, just answer my questions." Elena said kindly, but her gentle tone made the hair stand on end, "But for your loveliness, forgive you for once." I can't help it, I still can't get angry with pretty things......"
After saying that, Elena looked like she had a headache.
Even if it is a compliment, the person who is described as a "beautiful thing", little Mondo, no matter what, can't be happy. As much as he would love to show off his toned muscles, he retorts that he's a strong fighter and not a "pretty thing......
He originally guessed that this woman was a friend of the druid patriarch, otherwise he would not have entered the door and asked Amanda where she was, if he could, borrow her hand to help Amanda avenge, which can be regarded as an explanation to the druids, but now he realizes that it is impossible, in the thinking of this strange woman, I am afraid that there is only the distinction between beautiful and ugly.
"It seems that Amanda is indeed dead, but alas."
Elena looked very sorry, and she didn't know what she was sorry for, then she stood up, walked out of the cabin, and finally turned around and smiled, "Wait a little while, everyone. ”
They didn't dare to be big about Elena's politeness, and said with awe-inspiring expressions that they would wait for her to come back, and Elena left satisfied.
So the wooden house fell into an inexplicable embarrassment, and both sides, who regarded themselves as enemies, stayed where they were, without saying a word. Mondo and King Arthur stared at the green bean
Fortunately, Elena soon returned to the cabin, still empty-handed, and everyone didn't know what she was doing when she went out.
"Sweet little orc, you're honest, Amanda is indeed dead." Elena turned to the acolyte, "Presumably you're the murderer, right?" ”
Amanda's corpse exudes a powerful aura of light, and naturally it can't hide from Elena.
Frightened by Elena's staring, Arthur finally couldn't help it, and saluted: "Dear Excellena, I am the head monk of the Sect of Light, Arthur, Miss Elena and Amanda are old acquaintances, presumably not friends, and the next few people are just acting on orders, please raise your noble hand and let us go." ”
In addition to treating the Pope, Arthur didn't know who he had ever treated so respectfully, not even the emperor of a human country!
"Amanda and I are certainly not friends! On the contrary, we are enemies! Amanda killed my husband, and I wanted revenge this time, and I didn't want you to get ahead of me. ”
Elena's tone was neither sad nor joyful, but it sounded like a wonderful sound to Arthur's ears, the enemy of his enemy is a friend! The acolytes were overjoyed, while Mondo and Shay were disappointed, since they were Amanda's enemies, Elena naturally wouldn't avenge him, and it was unknown whether they would embarrass themselves.
But after listening to Elena's voice, she said: "Amanda has always been a strong man, although I know that his strength is not as good as before, but the dignity of a strong man is not something you can trample on, not to mention that you have destroyed my revenge plan, so I decided to take you back, it just so happens that I have been studying the holy power of the Illuminati recently." ”
The acolytes can understand that the grudge between the strong cannot tolerate other people's interference!
But to their annoyance, Elena actually used this as an excuse to arrest them back and be guinea pigs for experiments! How could they be reduced to the object of a woman's study, all of whom are high figures in the human race? With the cruelty of this woman, they didn't think they could keep the body intact!
Even Arthur was furious, it was a big deal to let go, how many could escape!
"Miss Elena, we don't doubt your strength, in front of you, we can't raise the strength to resist, but if you treat us as slaves, the object of humiliation, it's a big deal to die! All you get is a corpse! ”
"Hehehe...... "Elena covered her mouth and chuckled, "I think you misunderstood, I just conducted a small study, and I need the cooperation of several people, not to humiliate you." ”
Before Arthur could speak, Elena continued: "As for whether I got a corpse or something else, I think that in front of me, you don't even have a chance to die, if you don't believe it, you can try it." ”
The acolytes were furious, since this woman said such a thing, it was very likely to be the truth!
"I can swear to the God of Light that I will never insult you or take your life." Elena continued, in a convincing tone.
Arthur couldn't cry and laugh, and said in his heart, swear to the god of light? Who believes you! He is cunning and abnormal, and he does not sit still, and has a plan.
"Miss Elena, we can exchange other things, as long as you say it, our Bright Sect will definitely be able to take it out, as strong as you, naturally not rare treasures, we are willing to exchange rare ancient books and weapons, etc., ......"
Before Arthur could finish speaking, Elena interrupted in a deep voice, "You're not qualified to trade with me. ”
Seeing Elena's face sink, Arthur immediately shut up, not daring to say another word, for fear of annoying the woman.
"Given the time you've been hauling, I've decided to kill you." Elena casually said something that alarmed Arthur, "But I can let you live one more year, you can go back to your Pope, and say that these acolytes have been borrowed by me, and in a year, I will naturally come and take your head." ”
How could Elena not know about Arthur's plan, if she let them go back to the Illuminati, the first thing she would do was to report to the Pope, and simply take care of it.
Arthur no longer knows whether he is sad or happy, but he finally has a little confidence in his heart, as long as he returns to the Illuminati Sect, with the strength of the Pope, who else on the mainland dares to be presumptuous?
I'm afraid that this woman is afraid of the prestige of the Bright Sect, but she can't wipe off her face, and the so-called research with acolytes is just looking for the bottom of the stairs, and when the time comes, won't she honestly send them back? When the acolytes discussed, they all felt that Arthur had a point.
"Lord Arthur, when you return to the Cult of Light, the Pope will not sit idly by!"
"yes, yes, let's go with Miss Elena!"
The acolytes expressed their support.
Arthur's waist straightened, the fear in his heart suddenly decreased, and he said solemnly: "Miss Elena, as you said, let me go back to the Illuminati Sect, if you come to the Illuminati in a year, I will have no complaints, and the remaining acolytes will also go with you, I hope you will keep your promise and not hurt their lives." ”
Elena smiled slightly, apparently agreeing, and Arthur nodded in affirmation to his companions before leaving.
After solving the matter of the acolytes, Elena suddenly remembered another purpose for her visit.
"Little orc, you're here to get the druid's token, right?" Elena asked.
"Yes, it's a pity that now that Grandpa Amanda is dead, the matter of the token is abandoned. How do you know the truth? Remembering the tragedy of the druid, Mondo was still immersed in grief.
Elena threw an object casually, and Mondo took it in his hand to see that it was an earthy yellow scroll, and there were several wormholes on the quaint and old paper, and there was no trace of magic on it.
"Amanda knew that she would soon return to the arms of the goddess of nature, so she gave it to me. When I came to the druid village, the first thing I did was to kill the old guy with my own hands to take revenge, and the second thing I did was to give this scroll to the orcs. ”
Mondo's journey was finally complete, but he couldn't be happy. The Druids were so lonely that the people they could trust were the enemies of the patriarch.
He didn't ask what the quaint scroll was, because Elena wouldn't do what anyone wanted, and she would naturally say it if she wanted to explain.
"Miss Elena, please forgive me for disturbing this weak skeleton......"
At this time, Xia Yi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.
"Oh? A clever little skeleton? It's curious, what do you have to say? ”
Elena's presence shocked Elena a little, and with her years of knowledge, she even looked away! She had thought that this skeleton was just a low-level creature summoned by Mondo, but she never imagined that a white bone skeleton could still communicate with people.
"That's right, Mondo, that is, this little orc, signed a contract with me through the summoning stone, but because of the lack of mental power, I will soon return to the Forsaken Land, but I have a very powerful guy waiting to kill me in the Forsaken Land, so please save my life, or leave me in the Anthropocene Realm permanently, or teach me a way to save my life."
Xia Yi felt from the mental fluctuations that Mondo's mental power was soon exhausted, and he was about to return to the abandoned land, and it was better to be a dead horse than a dead horse doctor.
Elena was amused, the little skeleton would be afraid of death, and begged for her head.
"And what do you get paid? I haven't dealt with the undead yet! I'm very curious about this transaction. Elena couldn't help but want to tease the little skeleton.
"Hmm......" Xia Yi thought for a moment, "since you want to study the Holy Power, do you need to study the power of the Darkness?" I can provide you with an infinite number of samples. ”
After thinking about it, the only thing Shay had was skeletons, and she could find countless gray and silver skeletons in the Forsaken Lands.
"Haha Elena laughed, "A low-level skeleton like you, I can grab a necromancer as much as I want." ”
"That'...... So what do you want? Shay was a little anxious, Elena was her only hope.
Seeing this, Mondo on the side also hurriedly said: "Yes, if I can help Xia Yi, I am also willing to provide the reward you need!" ”
"Hmm...... "Elena is also in a dilemma, what can a little orc and a little skeleton do to help her?" I can't think of it for a while, but I'm curious about Forsaken Lands, and if you can help me with a few things in the future, I can help you. ”
"Yes!" Xia Yi couldn't wait to shout, compared to a few conditions, his own life is more important!
Looking at the expectant eyes of Xia Yi and Mondo, Elena shrugged her shoulders and said, "The summoning contract is a special law of the God of Contract, and I can't break it, but I can give you a small object, and it's up to you whether you can save your life or not." ”
Elena flipped her hand, and a delicate dagger appeared out of thin air in her hand, unsheathed, glowing white, with a white magic core inlaid with the end of the handle.
"It's called a glittering dagger, and it's also called an escape dagger. It was the predecessors who obtained a rare space magic core, which was created by the dwarven master, which is very precious, but it is of little use to me. ”
Elena's explanation made Xia Yi confused, and took the dagger, not knowing how to use it.
"You only need to inject soul power, and you can immediately reach any place within a two-kilometer radius, so it is called an escape dagger, and the only drawback is that it can only be used once a day."
"Xie Lu Xie ......"
Xia Yi carefully put away the escape dagger and held it to her chest, this is her lifeline, how can she not be a baby?
Elena thought for a moment, as if hesitating, asked Xia Yi to grasp the dagger a little more, for fear that she would regret it.
I saw Elena wave her hand again, and a blue flame appeared in her palm, this Xia Yi is very familiar, soul fire! Or it's called the heart of the soul, judging by its familiar aura, it turns out to be Amanda's heart of the soul! This woman was able to drain the soul of the deceased!
This group of soul hearts is stronger than all the soul hearts that Chay has ever seen combined! The faint soul power in it made Xia Yi feel frightened!
"Originally, I wanted to finish Amanda in person, but unfortunately I was the first to get there." Elena said unhurriedly, "I have a better idea, as a skeleton, you have the power to devour souls, right?" ”
Xia Yi nodded in confusion, and before she could talk nonsense, Elena stuffed the soul heart into Xia Yi's mouth!
A majestic soul power rushed straight into Xia Yi's mind, and Xia Yi felt like a small boat in the middle of a storm on the ocean! Shaken left and right by the waves! The soul is absorbing this power, but its devouring ability is too weak! It's like asking a bucket to hold an entire river!
Seeing Xia Yi's cry of pain, Mondo was so anxious that he almost fought with Elena!
Although the pure soul energy made Xia Yi dizzy, it was harmless to her devourer after all, but she couldn't bear such a large amount of energy at once, and Xia Yi was not greedy for absorption, but carefully kneaded the absorbed soul power into a ball, stored it in the soul, and slowly absorbed it later.
Otherwise, she will be blown up directly!
Although most of the energy was stored, Xia Yi also absorbed a huge amount of soul power, only to hear the crisp sound in the soul, and he actually upgraded!
The white bone of the surface body immediately changed, the original faint metallic luster became translucent, and the whole body shimmered with bronze light! Bronze Skull! Evolved from a bony skeleton to a metal skeleton, a qualitative transformation!
Elena was very satisfied with Xia Yi's changes, and said: "Don't thank me, this is the reward for our transaction, you must provide me with information about the Forsaken Lands in the future, maybe one day, I will break the space blockade and go to the Forsaken Lands to play!" ”
So Xia Yi had no choice but to accept a strange deal without negotiation at all.
