Chapter 757: Side by Side

Fifty years can neither be said to be short nor long for a dragonborn, but their impression of Cremar is always a little vague, and this is not to blame them, although Crefa is a city that belongs to Cremar, but Cremar can be said to be completely indifferent to it, from the beginning, it was an excuse to satisfy a little pity for the soul of the other world, as for this sea city to be able to succeed so far, even the lich did not expect, after all, they are not the kind of people who are good at management and rule。 But this strangeness and vague temptation came to an abrupt halt at the sight of the two seductors - even the knights who still had ambiguous feelings for Afra suddenly calmed down, Afra was not Frow after all, and it was not enough for these ruthless creatures to reverse their nature.

The next thing became simpler, no one questioned, no one resisted, the power of the lich covered the entire Krefa, the little monster as dense as a floater came and went in and out in a hurry in the dark, compared to the notes left by Afra, the former undead found that the power of Krefa was not weakened compared to fifty years ago, but even strengthened, the lich extracted a part of the power that belonged to Afra, no, not that he did not believe in Afra, but because one of the powerful Afra was more in line with his needs, and the other soul agreed, although sometimes the lich would mock it for being too hypocritical, but it's not really ignorant of the forces behind Afra.

"Doesn't Your Highness really need us to do anything?" asked a young man with a beautiful face, dressed in the same way as a wealthy mortal, who not only did not seem to have anything to be wary of, but also looked extraordinarily polite and gentle, and the girl beside him also showed a worried look, and it was difficult for anyone to say no just by looking at these two beautiful faces that looked like mirrors. But in fact, these two gorgeous bodies each contained a fifteen-foot-tall demon weighing five thousand pounds, with graceful false faces, dexterous tongues, and keen eyes, and they could make sure that every word you spit out was what you wanted, and that everything you did was exactly what you had always wanted, such as now, "Do you want to take it back to Cape Castle?" the boy said, "Then leave it to us." "We can guarantee that everyone can be safe. The girl said. "If you don't want people to know that you can summon and command demons," said the boy, "we can also walk through the crowd with this body." "How abominable those dragons are. The girl said. "And the despicable thieves and mercenaries. The boy said. "They are innocent of their deaths, and they are heinous. The girl said. "War always leads to the death of those who count. The boy said. "But with us, wailing and weeping will be your enemies. The girl said. "Use us as long as you want to. The boy said. "We can't be demanding. The girl said. "Just ten years, five years, three years, one year...... Or just a campaign. The boy said. "We just need freedom in a battle. The girl said. "We will not harm any good person who is innocent without your permission. The boy said. "Or the bad guys. The girl giggled. "Don't make a pact with anyone other than you," said the boy, "and don't devour or buy souls." "We can even work for your friends and do their bidding. The girl said. "You can't just send us back. The boy said, frowning sadly, "We will be laughed at by the devils for 10,000 years." "Or longer. The girl chimed in: "We are afraid of you. "Yes," said the boy, "we cannot disobey your will, nor dare we deceive you in any way. "You are the trusted and favored courtier of the Dark Lord," the girl said, "and we are only one of the ten thousand deceitful demons under his command." "Which is more important," said the young man, "we have always been clear, Your Highness, that you should trust us, for the root of our obedience to you comes from another, greater and more powerful being. "You have summoned us," said the maiden, "blood, souls, and gold, what good is it to banish us back to the abyss? "Or we can stay with you," said the boy, "and as long as we have us, your army will be invincible." "And the questions you and the elves want to find out. The girl stretched out the tip of her scarlet tongue: "The answer is in our mouths, my dear master, you can come and pick it at any time." ”

It's hard to imagine that a city like Krefa would have a mountain of documents that might be no less important than two seducers, and that a mage who is accustomed to or good at complicated things can only be said to be patient compared to a warlock, but more often than not, he would rather leave them to another soul to deal with—so he occasionally doubted the other party's statement—ordinary people or something...... After all, he still couldn't understand what it meant to have twenty years of education in another plane, after all, in another plane, in another country, a person who could hear and write more than 5,000 words could become a lord or a lord's clerk here.

The Temptations had always had a lack of patience with the demons, and they waited until the lich put down the quill with a pointed tip that was so cracked that it was impossible to write that they once again showed a gentle and amiable smile that would have been ashamed to say the answer they had expected. But the lich just rubbed his fingers: "Hot pot...... Or teppanyaki?"

The faces of the boy and girl stiffened for a moment, and the lich felt that there was nothing wrong with the other soul's evasion, at least now that his notoriety could make the demons who had always been known for being difficult to deal with flinching - these two did understand the threat in the lich's words, and they even had the urge to hide one of their chelicerae arms behind their backs - who had the misfortune to unload the crab pincers of the seducers who had failed to challenge the dragonborn spellcaster...... They can swear to the River Styx, even if they have devoured their own kind, but they have never removed a part of their own kind from their bodies, first roasted it, then opened the shell, added minced garlic, butter, ginger and salt and fried it on an iron plate, or directly removed the shell and took the meat, sliced it, blanched it in boiling water, and dipped it in coarse salt and peppercorns...... There is also deliciousness, which is seen by himself and his colleagues all day long with the eyes of "Ah, this is delicious", and even the cruel and cunning seduction demon can't stand it.

"You can't ......," the teenager faintly protested.

The Lich is clean with another soul...... Hungry eyes stared at him, and he was immediately speechless—in the midst of this embarrassing silence, the lich withdrew his gaze, picked up a small, almost palm-sized leather sac and poured it onto the table—the attention of the two seducers was immediately drawn to the skin, apparently from a dimensional pouch, which of course was the bait and reward that the lich had prepared for the demons that would never fail—soul gems. On the table alone, there are no less than a hundred, and this number cannot be said to be less than even for the decoeur. And even if they are still unwilling, they still can't do anything superfluous - whether to continue to try to stay in the main material plane, serve the dragonborn, find opportunities and loopholes in the contract to slaughter humans and devour souls, or roll back into the bottomless abyss with a fixed number of soul gems...... The seducers have little to choose from, and if they can, they are of course more willing to follow their demonic nature and act recklessly, leaving every place they pass through into uncontrollable chaos......

"Let's go back," the boy wisely made his choice, "if that's what you want." ”

"But if you will," said the maiden, unwillingly, "we are ready to call you, and you know our name, call us, my master." ”

When a dragontooth knight stepped into the hall, he had no idea what he would see—he stood there, dumbfounded— The boy and girl standing beside Cremar on the left and right were tearing at the human shell, breaking free from the false flesh and skin, their faces split to the sides, their slender bodies split, coagulated purple-black blood gushing out of the crack, turning into blue-black smoke in mid-air, and the dragon-like horned head sticking out of the smoke, and the protruding long snout was full of fangs. They stood up straight, their heads touched the zenith, and the stones of the zenith began to turn black in an instant, and they had a pair of four-fingered arms on their chests, and behind these arms, there were a pair of stronger and more deformed arms, which looked like the chelicera of poisonous insects—the demons turned their heads and saw the dragontooth knight standing outside the door, and let out a rather soft and sweet laugh, and in the next moment, the laughter suddenly turned into a wail, and the blue-black smoke suddenly filled the air, and the knight lost consciousness at once.

When the Dragontooth Knight woke up, all the signs of the strange were gone, and even the zenith was restored to its original state, but he didn't feel that what had happened before was just a hallucination of himself— It's not that he hasn't seen warlocks or mages summon devils, but generally speaking, unless they have to, they usually summon low-level devils and demons, and they will limit demons and demons to summoning formations and even rooms, so as not to be attacked by them, but his master Cremar is obviously different from them, he not only summons two seduction demons, but also allows them to walk around the tower with him- So there's a reason why the dangerous creatures in the shadows of Crefa have died down, when a beast is trapped in a cave, even a child can throw stones at it, but if it is released, without a collar or shackles, only those who do not doubt their own strength and mind dare to let them crawl around.

In addition, if he didn't understand it wrong, the two seduction demons were banished back to the bottomless abyss by his master, and he should have been hit by one of them, but it was clear that the speed at which his master threw spells was not inferior to the instinct of the seduction demons.

The lich still remembers this Dragontooth Knight, the Dragontooth Knight they took with them when they left Grenada were quietly selected, this Dragontooth Knight is also a Dragonborn, but the blood is weak, his father and mother don't care much about him, although he grew up in Grenada like all Dragonborn, and became a Dragontooth Knight, but he always maintains a clear mind and acts rationally, if he is not a cruel person, then it can only be said that he is lying, but he never does meaningless things is irrefutable, whether it is good or evil, which made him one of the most relied on by lichs and otherworldly spirits - he was given access to the tower, well, although it seemed a bit dangerous to him from what had happened.

The former undead can be said to have gently soothed him, not everyone can be indifferent after being attacked by the seduction demon, the knight's body and soul have been hit a lot, the lich let him drink a little potion, the knight can't help but look a little strange after drinking the potion - he can identify the ingredients of the elves' eaux-de-vie in the potion, in the case of the eaux-de-vie is likely to be looted and stolen, this is not too bizarre, the problem is that there is fresh snow honey in the potion...... Snow honey is a rather delicate thing, whether by spell or whatever, and the smell and taste of fresh snow honey is very different from that of snow honey that has been stored for a period of time—but does this mean that their owners are still in close contact with the elves?

Of course, he wasn't bad, he had always turned a deaf ear to some of Grenadari's radical rhetoric - was blood important? maybe, but blood didn't mean everything, he had brothers and sisters, but now, they were either dead or sunk to the bottom of Grenada, and there were even scale-covered guys among them who claimed to be more orthodox than him, but what was the use? Just like he had chosen Cremar as his master, not Mitcot, or Kelmen and Kelce. He had made the right choice, his master, and his agents, were strong and forgiving, and he had spent much more time in Crefa than in Grenada.

Also, the black-haired dragonborn's respect for life makes them willing to be loyal to him, for example, if one of his brothers and sisters was standing here just now, they would just watch him become the devil's food as if nothing happened, and maybe laugh and think they had seen a good show. Some may like such a cruel and unruly master, but he would rather have a master like Cremar, though his kindness is not only shown in them.

"We are ready," the knight bowed to his master, "just give your order, my master, and we wait." ”

The black-haired human-faced sphinx, Keo, flew around Krefa in the light of the moon and stars, his speed was so swift, and the fluttering of his wings was so gentle that one felt the shadows passing by, and when they looked up, they had long since lost their sights—unlike the eagle-headed sphinx, the human-faced sphinx could also see at night, and he saw the "bird's head" that was sinking into a deep sleep with its head tucked into its wings If the windows were still on, they might still be copying scrolls and mixing potions, and if the lights went out, they might have fallen asleep or meditated...... When the magic galaxy tilted to one side, even the knights, servants and soldiers began to rest one after another, and only the busy servants and slaves stayed awake all night.

He folded his wings and landed quietly on the top of a mansion only under a tower, and a mage indulged in the sweet embrace of his lover sat up alertly, hurriedly grabbed a silver mirror, checked the peep spell he had set up, and then grunted, pulled up the blanket and covered his head.

The human-faced sphinx looked up at the Black Tower, the light of the spire had not yet dimmed, and its owner had not yet slept.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

And the galaxy on the ground- That is, by the Starlight River, which is flowing all day long, another army is also ready to go, they are the elven ranger Kerryben, not the brave and righteous people gathered by the king of the jungle of the Singh elves, rangers, druids and elven warriors are their main force, one of the old rangers has gray temples, and has lost an arm a long time ago, but no one dares to pity and despise him, everyone knows that he is the chosen person of Su Lun, or the mentor of no less than twelve rangers, even Kerryben once accepted his guidance- He had refused the invitations of many lords and kings, stubbornly lived in a deserted canyon, and people almost thought he was dead, but who knows, he also appeared when Falun's army began to walk again on the continent.

He and Kerry Ben sat by the fire, happily drinking the winter wine from Thunder Castle, the elven wine was also good, but for him, it was too light, too light, too light to make his blood boil, he listened to Kerryben's narration, and from time to time showed a look of surprise, even though he had passed three times the years of mortals, he still had to be amazed at what the Elven Ranger had encountered in these decades.

"I think," he said, "even if there wasn't this war, I'd want to see that mage, uh, maybe a warlock?" and he shook his head, "a dragonborn, of course, I know that there will be bad guys and good guys in any race—but you know, I hate red dragons." ”

Kerry smiled and replied, "Then maybe you should thank Cremmar." ”

"Oh?" the old ranger thought for a moment and grimaced, "You mean the dragon that bit off my arm is dead, and has something to do with your little friend." ”

Kerriben nodded, and then he didn't know if he should object to the "little friend", if Kremar (Dragonborn) was his age, he might not be much younger than Kerryben, but if it was another soul, then he was still a young man even for humans.

He suddenly wanted to sigh, but he still stopped his impulse in time, but the old ranger was already aware of it: "Do you want to talk to me about him?"

When Kerry was about to tactfully reject him, after all, Cremar's identity was too sensitive, the flames in front of them suddenly changed, and with a soft crackling sound, a flame spider the size of a pea appeared in front of Kerryben.
