Ringer raised his right hand, and with a slight curl of his fingers, the eggs on the golden claws flew into his palm. He took a closer look at the strange egg that fell into the palm of his hand.

The egg, though about the same size and shape as an egg, was much heavier, like a solid stone, but with a smooth surface and a white shimmer.

The eggshell appears to be unusually thin and light, with the shadows of the creatures inside faintly visible. Ringer tapped the eggshell lightly, and an angry protest immediately came from inside the eggshell: "Stop! "The voice is like that of a child.

Ringer laughed at the sound.

"You were the one who threatened me before, right?"

"What do you want?"

"I'll talk about something else later, let my friends go first. You'd better not do anything to their souls, or I'll break you to pieces. ”

"You broke into my territory first, and I'm just defending myself."

"We can talk about this later, but for now, please hand over their souls first." There was a hint of coldness in Ringer's smile.

"Now that I hand over their souls, don't I have no bargaining chips at all? You're stupid to me. "Egg doesn't seem to be very willing to cooperate.

Ringer's eyes narrowed, and he turned his head and asked Elodina, "Can you control the mind of this egg?" The egg in the palm of his hand immediately shouted: "You demonic stupid lackey, give up your stupid thoughts, no one can control my mind, not even the strongest Mind Flayer, let alone this little one." Reading the book, Elodina had come to Ringer, and she heard the cries of the eggs.

Although it exuded a pleasantly unsettling mood, she still frowned slightly. She threw her arms up and tried to take the arrogant egg from Ringer's hand, but her height limited her to reach it even on tiptoe.

Seeing this, Ringer handed the egg into her hands. After taking the egg, Elodina stared at it with wide eyes, her eyes lit up with a purple glow.

"It's useless, it's useless, it's useless!" The egg screamed,

"Your mind control doesn't work for me!" Elodina seemed to notice this, pouting in disappointment, throwing the egg into the air, and rubbing her sour eyes.

"Ahh When the egg was about to hit the ground, one foot gently hooked it, and with a slight lift of the toe, the egg arced through the air again, and then fell into a slender and warm hand.

Ringer looked at the egg in his hand with a smile and smiled: "Now that I am your savior, how are you going to repay me?" ”

"Repay the fart, it's all caused by you."

"Really?" Ringer smiled slightly, turned his head and asked Elodina, "Dina, do you want to play with eggs?" Elodina blinked, then smiled, nodded vigorously, and held out her small hand to Ringer.

The horror of the egg satisfied her, and she wanted to scare it a few more times. Egg screamed, "Hey, don't you care about your friends? Their souls are still under my control. If anything happens to me, their souls will never return! Ringer squinted his eyes and smiled wickedly: "Have you forgotten that I am a lackey of the devil?" Do you think someone like me cares about the lives of a few slaves? ”

"Slaves? You just said they were your friends, and you wanted to bluff me? ”

"To me, friends are just another word for slaves. Elodia, then. Ringer tossed the egg to Elodina, and little Eero began to play a game of egg tossing, enjoying the fear that the egg emanated.

Soon, the egg can't stand the stimulation.

"That's enough, I'll give you back their souls!" Ringer caught the egg that was tossed by Elodina again, but little Elodina didn't catch the egg and frowned dissatisfiedly.

"But I can only give you back two souls, and I must keep one of them to keep him safe. But you can choose which one to keep with me, I know you just lied to me, they are all your true friends. This is my greatest concession, and if you do not accept this condition, break me now, along with the soul of your friend. With that, the egg stopped talking and waited for Ringer's choice.

After a brief silence, Ringer made his choice.

"Deal."
