Deep underground in Vale, the cobweb-strewn rooms filled the smell of blood. Even though the summoning array connected to the Demon Lord had lost its effect, the hundreds of nezumi who had died in it caused it to release a disgusting substance without interruption. The Raven glanced disdainfully at the circle in the corner of the room, the legacy of the circle showed a lack of knowledge on the part of its arranger, ignorance in the caster's world, ignorance was deadly. If the Spellcaster is given some time, he can even use the destroyed summoning array to get quite a bit of information and use it to cast the curse. But now that the arranger of the circle is in front of him, there is no reason for the crow to go far and near.

"I don't understand, why does she care so much about getting Kiri's body back?" Standing in a wary circle with his companion, Bakham certainly didn't trust the witch to keep the deal, but as someone who was new to witch tradition, he was more curious about what Kiri's corpse could do to Kuira.

"Who knows, maybe she just wants to do her part and let her be buried in her hometown. Clarus casually rambled on reasons he didn't believe in himself. It's possible that someone like Greene or Emia would want to recover her companion's corpse, but Kouira wouldn't let that put her to a bargain with the Raven to lower her leverage. There must have been some other reason to compel the witch to get the junior's body back.

The networm frowned, she had heard more or less about how witches treated their dead companions after experiencing the events of the royal capital. It's just that the mercenary's habitual strict tone made her not say anything superfluous, but silently observed the two people who were trading in the center of the room. and the giant white spider lying not far behind Kuira. There was an unconcealed longing in her eyes. The Lehorst Black-Eyed Mind Spider is undoubtedly a rarity among many species of spiders, coupled with the huge size of the one in front of him that has been cultivated by a witch to the point that it would never grow under normal circumstances, not to mention the protective magic symbol engraved on its body, as long as you can get it, then your trip to the blue lion can be described as a big profit.

But how easy is it to get a witch's pet? If nothing else, even if Coyla is willing to let go of the giant spider she named Jones, it will be difficult for the webworm to tame it on its own. Excessive greed can only bring disaster, and Miss Mercenary takes this lesson to heart.

As several people expressed their opinions on the negotiation, Leon carefully soaked the dry food he was carrying in water to soften and put it into Gloria's mouth little by little. The knight knew who the nezumi was in front of him, and even if he became like this, the Saron family was a member of the Grey Lion, and as a knight of the kingdom, the Blood Lion had an obligation to keep her safe. To be sure, Leon doesn't like nezumi, proto-nezumi or mutants, and no one likes to kill their comrades, regardless of their near-identical looks. But the Knight Chief also knew that this hatred should not be borne by Gloria and the rats of Vale, who were also victims of the plague. In this contradictory mood, Leon's brow furrowed unconsciously.

"Your companions seem to have their own ideas, Mr. Raven. Kuira, who sat down at the negotiating table, smiled and said to the wizard in front of her. It's just that the standard smile on the witch's face is a little stiff now, and only Coyla herself knows how agitated she is now. Qili's unexpected death completely disrupted her calculations and left her with one more piece of the negotiation that she couldn't concede. She must recover Kiri's body.

This is not a request from the Lost Witches, a race of witches who are born again and die evilly, and for the dead members, they honestly don't even have a decent funeral. It is nothing more than the young witches who cremate the bodies of the deceased and throw them into the harbor, and then the oldest witches of the witch group distribute the property of the deceased to the other members. As for whether the distribution is fair, it is not a topic that can be discussed. And this is not because witches are ruthless, most of the time they have the same joys and sorrows as ordinary people, but the fear of death, especially because of the longevity of life, has almost been carved into the bones of witches, and everyone avoids this kind of topic, and over time this cold habit has been formed.

So Kuyla wants to get Kiri's body purely for her personal purposes. She wanted Kiri's eyes, those eyes that were born to sparkle with magnificent colors. As long as they can get their hands, Kuira has her own way of making them show all kinds of abilities like when their master was alive, and a pair of eyeballs with Kiri's power are much easier to control than a living Kiri.

Kuyla had already made up her mind, and it would be great if she could get the Raven to cooperate with her and get the reward from that being. And even if her negotiation with the wizard fails, she is sure to escape with Qili's corpse, so that even if she doesn't get a reward, Qili's eyes can more or less make up for the wasted resources of this operation.

As for the lives of Kiri and Peg and the mission of the witch group, that fight was not in the mind of Kuyla in the first place. Originally, she accepted this task in order to obtain the assets left by Ge Lin, who was also a long-lived witch, and since someone offered a higher price, of course she didn't mind letting go of this task and getting involved in this plague first. Similarly, if she realizes that she can't get paid, Kuyla will not hesitate to retreat to prevent further losses.

This behavior is called wise in most people's eyes. However, for the Raven, this idea seems extremely shallow. If you don't want to give, you want to gain a lot, and give up your principles at will for the sake of profit, this is not a creed that a gray robe will recognize. Balancing gains and losses by paying the price for what you get is the law that sorcerers follow. However, this does not mean that the Raven does not know how to deal with such people, on the contrary, wizards are already too familiar with such people.

"The nine heads of the hydra still have their own wills, and I am only the nominal leader of this team, so I can't ask for too much. Are you right?" the Raven pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled sarcastically. His expression made Kuyla uncomfortable, and the witch felt as if she was being underestimated.

"I've shown my sincerity, and I only hope you can show the same. Kuirapi said with a smile.

Her words only met with more ridicule from the sorcerer. But Raven also knew that he couldn't go too far, and if he wanted the deal to get done, or at least on the surface, he couldn't really mess with the other party. "You say, sincerity, but so far I have only heard your request. Whether it's for me to return your companion's body, or for me and my friends to get out of here, you haven't asked me what I want, have you?"

"I can give you all the nezumi who are still alive here. Complete, without any means. Kuyla said with a frown, reminding the wizard with her eyes that among the nezumi, including Gloria. It seemed to her that these people had clearly come here for the nezumi.

The witch's judgment was correct, but unfortunately it was for the cheese, and the cursed crow was not the cheese. The sorcerer pursed his lips with a look of surprise, "But I don't want them, what does the life or death of these stupid creatures have to do with me?"
