The strange and beautiful body painted with various magic patterns fell weakly on the white jade platform, fine and dense beads of sweat reflected the magic lights, revealing a charming halo of stars, and the long pale golden hair was like a flowing poem, slowly spreading on the white jade platform. The starry eyes are like the water of two bays of lake, and the water surface is shrouded in a faint blurred smoke cloud.

She lay on her back on the white jade platform, her eyes slightly closed, and she had no strength. The elf who had lost her strength was very weak, and the short period of sudden wind and rain was too much for her to bear.

A silk scarf gently wiped away the beads of sweat from her forehead and the tears that had flowed from her face unconsciously, and then the hand gently brushed her eyes, and a moment later, a little cold fell on her forehead.

This is the Dark Emblem, a curse from the Abyssal Demon.

When it's done, it's the end of everything.

Rogge's last stroke finally fell. He looked at the calm Wind Butterfly with some surprise, as if the cursed power contained in the Dark Emblem had no effect on her at all. He took out another black crystal bottle and poured out several drops of a glue-thick liquid from it. As soon as the crystal bottle was opened, a disgustingly thick bloody aura permeated the entire room, as if the room itself was a huge pool of blood.

The blood-like potion quickly sank into Wind Butterfly's body, revealing no traces.

When the majestic voice of Rog's chanting incantation sounded, the wind butterfly was as calm as a drop of crystal water on the corner of the eye on the surface of a windless lake.

When it's all over, can the lily of the night shed such clear tears again?

Is there a future ahead of you that you want?

...... In the dead of night, the lights were still on in Elder Huth's room. The elven elder was very interested, and in such a late night, he was still reading a book and drinking tea alone.

His room, as ever, was plain and spotless, making every visitor feel a sense of freshness.

At this moment, the water on the stove was just boiling, and the heat was just right, and Xius put down the book in his hand and prepared a good cup of tea for himself with full concentration. These days are rare that Floya didn't come to grab tea with him much, which made him feel happy, but he had some doubts.

After drinking this small cup of tea, Xius was in good spirits. He lifted the kettle again and filled an empty teacup with a cup of boiling water. The water vapor on the teacup was dense and condensed, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a fluctuating air mass. The center of the air mass suddenly became dark, and in the blink of an eye, a window leading to the distance opened in the vapor.

The vapor revealed a large and deep room, where a dozen mysterious figures in dark black robes and completely faceless sat around a large round table, as if waiting for something. Their eyes suddenly looked at Xius on the side of the water vapor, and they all stood up, saluted in unison, and then sat down.

"Respectful Shadow of Nothingness. A mysterious man spoke, his voice sounding very old: "You must have seen how the 'Shadows' have been doing business for the past three months. We managed to snatch a lot of business from the 'Night Dancers' from Prince Rog of the Asrofik Empire. For these three months, Prince Rogge has provided us with an income of at least 700,000 gold coins, becoming our most important guest. For this reason, the past three months have also been the three months with the most income for 'shadows'. In order to further crack down on the Night Dancer, I propose to lower the price of the service, after all, we still have a lot of room to profit from the Night Dancer so that we can completely win him out of the hands of the Night Dancer. ”

"I'm against it!" another old voice rang out, "The latest intelligence shows that Prince Rogge's treasury is empty, and he no longer has the strength to buy our services. Now it's time for us to cancel his VIP status and consider accepting the assignment against Prince Rogge. ”

"Can the 'shadow' gaze be so short-sighted?" said a former spokesman, "It took only two years for Prince Rogge to go from nothing to the next place. He is now in a financial situation, and it is a good time for us to help and win him over, and I even think we should consider the loan method of providing services first and then collecting money to win such a customer. ”

"He made his fortune by using elves as cannon fodder and making war money. Now that he is the prince of the Asrofik Empire, how can he still have such an easy war fortune?"

All of a sudden, the Shadow elders present split into two sides and quarreled. In contrast, there are still more voices opposed to continuing to support Rogge.

Hughes coughed, and the elders in the quarrel finally fell silent.

"First of all, do you have any recent missions for Prince Rogue?" said Theseus slowly. When his voice reached the dark room through the window of space in the vapor, it had become a fluttering, ethereal voice.

The mysterious figure who opposed continuing to support Rogge said: "My subordinates have recently received two tasks in the Empire, one is to investigate the information of a mysterious strong man next to Prince Rogge, and the information provided by the guest only says that when this strong man appeared, he was wearing dark black full-body armor, and he is suspected to be a female surname, so there is no other information. Another mission is to ask for a thorough investigation into the secrets of the Wisdom Eyes Church, especially who their goddess Odrech is dressed up in, and what other powerful people are in the church. Both clients said that remuneration was not an issue, as long as we were able to complete the task. According to my investigation, it is very likely that the real commissioner behind these two missions is the Imperial Chancellor Straw. In every way, he was much more valuable than Prince Rogg. But our 'shadow' rule has always been that we don't take on any VIP assignments, so I suggest that Rogge's VIP treatment be removed. However, whether or not we can accomplish these two tasks will have to be decided by the Venerable Shadow of Nothingness. ”

Hughes pondered for a long time, and finally said, "The rules are not set in stone. Now that the era of great turmoil is coming, this is the perfect time for us to take the opportunity to grow stronger and surpass the Night Dancer to become the overlord of the dark world. When turmoil comes, it is most important to judge the future trend. I think Prince Rogge is ruthless, decisive and vicious, and there is nothing wrong with betting some chips on such a person in turbulent times. I am in favor of the loan method of providing services first and then charging a fee, but there must be a limit, which is limited to 300,000 gold coins. It's a special time, so Straw's two tasks are also ahead. As for the reward, the investigation of the mysterious powerhouse offered nine million gold coins, with a minimum of eight and a half million. ”

Xius's decision immediately caused a lot of discussion among the people present, they were all powerhouses in the dark world, and they were well-informed, but they never expected it to be such a high price! In the past, the price of collecting information about the powerhouses of the Sacred Realm was only around two million gold coins, and that was still the price offered by the 'Night Dancer'.

Xius waited for everyone to discuss for a while before he said, "The price itself has already revealed a lot of information, so before quoting, you have to charge a fee of 500,000 gold coins." If Straw agrees, these costs will be deducted from the final total fee. If he doesn't agree, he doesn't return it, and that's the price of the information. ”

"As for the task of investigating the goddess Audrech of the 'Eye of Wisdom'......" Theseus mused.

The room fell silent, and everyone waited for his decision.

Finally, Theseus spoke: "I think 'Shadow' has half a chance of completing this task, and this can be truthfully restored to Straw." As for remuneration...... It's the sword of Damocles in Straw's hand, so that he won't underestimate our 'shadow' power!"

There was dead silence in the room, save for the sound of heavy breathing.

At last someone spoke: "O all-knowing shadow of nothingness! Is the sword of Damocles in Straw's hands? This piece of information itself is worth millions of gold coins!"

There was a tremor in his voice, and it was obvious that he couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.

"If Straw doesn't agree, then sell this piece of information, and I think one and a half million gold coins would be a very suitable price. Hughes said calmly.

There was another buzz in the room.

Xius coughed again, and only after he was quiet did he say, "Elders, the fact that the 'Shadow' has been able to develop to the scale it is today is closely related to your hard work for so many years. But the turbulent era is coming, and I think all the elders know very well that the only key to surviving in the dark world is strength, and I hope that the elders will work in this direction in the future. Also, how are the preparations for the westward journey?"

One of the elders replied, "This year's westward march is ready, and all the precious materials on the list are ready to go. Just ......"

"Just what?" asked Hughes quietly.

The elder hesitated for a moment and said, "There are five hundred dragon warriors in the escort force who are provided by the 'Night Dancers', and the price is quite fair. I'm afraid...... What are they going to do in the dark? After all, the annual westward journey is very important, and we have invested the whole year's income in it!"

Theseus said categorically, "The 'Night Dancers' are the kings of the dark world for four hundred years, and their credibility is not in doubt. Traveling thousands of miles to the west, the road is extremely dangerous, and with five hundred dragon warriors with strong combat effectiveness to escort it, the certainty is much greater. Even if it's risky, it's worth it. ”

"I follow your instructions, Honorable Shadow of the Void. ”

After the next few things were discussed, the large void black shadow above the round table, which seemed to swallow all the light, slowly dispersed, and all the 'shadow' elders also left silently.

Hughes poured the cooled water into the flower pond, took out a book, and read it leisurely.

The world of the dead.

Fengyue is still sleeping in the beautiful world of the painting.

Wella was sitting on the branch of a towering ancient tree, the metal wings of the demon lotus swaying slightly in the breeze. She was poring through the memories of the Origin of God.

A huge figure passed through the sky, and after circling a few times, it swooped down towards the world in the painting, hovering steadily in the air by the lake.

It was a huge bony dragon.

There is only one bone dragon in the world of death who dares to approach Rina within a thousand miles. At this moment, the bone dragon not only had a pair of fleshy wings shining with a holy milky white luster, but it also had an extra milky white dragon scale belt more than one meter wide on its body. The scales stretched from the top of its head, the nape of its neck to the tip of its tail. Although the vast majority of the bone dragon's body was still bones, it looked much more imposing, far from the weirdness and dissonance it had when it was said to have only a pair of fleshy wings.

The bone dragon leaned his head towards Wella, and said with a heavy heart: "Master Wella, Master Fengyue won't blame me when he wakes up, right?"

Wella raised her left hand upward, and an overwhelming gravitational pull immediately carried the bone dragon tumbling and flying high into the air.

As she read the memories of the Divine Origin, she said nonchalantly, "I've warned you several times, Gregory, don't come within a thousand meters of me until you've fully turned into a divine dragon......!" Let her sleep a little longer, she's tired anyway. ”

She suddenly let out a soft 'huh' and then smiled, "That's kind of funny......"

The next moment, Wella was already flying into the sky, and said, "Gregory, you guard this place, I'll go to that world once." ”

The bone dragon only had time to howl, "Master Wella, take me ......" but Wella's figure had already disappeared into the void.

Gregory sighed and flew a few laps in the sky with his head down. It wasn't that it was afraid of loneliness, though there wasn't a single undead creature within a thousand miles.

The bone dragon was afraid to face Fengyue alone, even if it was only in its sleep. The bone dragon had no idea how it would face the two masters if Fengyue woke up one day. The clever bone dragon knew that there was no answer to this question and could only resign itself to fate, so most of the time it chose not to think about it at all.

But when Wella left it alone to guard the world in this small painting, it couldn't help but think about the matter of life and death.

The bone dragon slowly fell, looking at Fengyue who was sleeping peacefully, and his wings trembled uncontrollably.

"Master Fengyue...... Actually, I ...... You didn't take me with you that day, I ...... If I don't surrender, Master Wella will be angry with me. Alas, both of you are so powerful, if you are not careful, you will surely destroy me. As you know, the world of the dead is vast, but no matter where I hide, it couldn't be easier for Master Wella to try to catch me. I...... I'm an undead creature, but I'm also afraid of death!"

"I know. ”

The bone dragon, who was sighing and talking to himself, was taken aback, and the incomparably familiar cold voice almost stopped its soul fire from beating!

Gregory looked up with a shudder, and saw that the silver eyes were also looking at it.

"Fengyue...... ...... hosts"

Feng Yue ignored the bone dragon, just raised his right hand in front of him, looked at it carefully for a while, and then slowly flew up. Her speed was getting faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, she was flying high into the air.

However, the petite figure in the gray robe suddenly froze, and it fell headlong!

With a swipe on the ground, Fengyue's wings suddenly expanded, which stabilized the falling body. She staggered into the air, and finally disappeared into the void.

The bone dragon only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and it could no longer support it, so it plunged into the small lake, stirring up a huge wave that soared into the sky.

At this moment, Feng Die was sleeping quietly on the white jade platform, the wound on her chest had long since disappeared, and the skin on her whole body was as soft as ever, except for a long pale blonde hair that turned silver-gray, there was no other change.

On the other side of this large magic laboratory, the half-naked ** Rogge was lying on the ground, engrossed in drawing the magic array. The beautiful demon lotus had been floating behind him for a long time, and he didn't even know it at all.

Wella watched him quietly until the fat man let out a sigh of relief and stood up with a satisfied look.

"Looks like you're already well-versed in curses. Wella was still in the same cold tone.

The fat man was startled, but instead of looking back, he lunged forward like lightning, leaving a silver shield of light in his place. Rogge turned around in the air, and only then did he see Wella standing still in the air.

The fat man settled down and said with a smile: "I have gained some new experience in studying magic in the past few days, so I just want to test it." I've been bullied by these druids for so long, and if I don't retaliate, I really can't get out of this bad breath. You can't do anything to them, but it's good to scare them. lest they always be able to storm without worries. ”

Wella watched silently as Rog began to chant incantations to the small gray mist in the center of the magic circle. She then began to scan the entire magic laboratory, and finally her gaze rested on Wind Butterfly.

Rogge's spell is finally over, and he falls into a stupor.

In a primeval jungle within the empire, there is a secret druid camp that is not well known. In the entire empire, there are not many such camps.

Rarely, there is also a hot spring in the camp. At this moment, the tall and handsome Lei Luo had just come out of the hot spring, he was wearing only a pair of trousers, and his bare upper body was full of strength and beauty. He had an inconspicuous dagger pinned to his waist, and it was evident that he valued it so much that he refused to take it off even for a moment while enjoying the hot springs.

Relo walked into the central hall of the camp, where two older druids were already waiting. Lei Luo sat down, and was about to discuss something important, when he let out a muffled grunt and jumped up from his chair.

He quickly removed the dagger from his waist and threw it to the ground as if he were holding a red-hot piece of iron instead of the Soul Eater Dagger. At this moment, the place where the dagger was originally attached to his waist was already charred black.

The two druids were nowhere near as strong as Lei Luo, and they stood up with blank expressions, not knowing what was going on.

Bursts of pale gray mist emanated from the Soul Eater's dagger, and finally formed a human form, and the face became clearer and clearer.

That chubby, sinister and smug face was none other than Rogge!

For this fat face, and even the body composed of gray mist, Lei Luo can be said to be extremely familiar. He had been looking for an opportunity to stick the Soul Eater Dagger into Rogge, but he never expected that Rogge would turn his face when he said it, completely disrupting his plan. As a last resort, he had to use his real skills to fight his way out of the encirclement. As for the life or death of Princess Malika's master and servant, it was not within his consideration.

This fat man, who has been dubbed by the Presbyterian Church with a series of adjectives such as 'sinister, mean, scheming, and vicious', is indeed a very troublesome character. Lei Luo had possessed the Soul Eater Dagger for several years, and had the magic of the Goddess of Nature as a buffer, but he still couldn't fully control this extremely dangerous artifact, and he had to be careful every time he used it.

But this fat man was able to manifest through the Soul Eater Dagger!

Lei Luo was shocked in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface, and said, "It turned out to be you! It's a pity that I didn't kill you." But you haven't been arrogant for long, do you have any last words?"

Rogge, who was composed of gray mist, smiled and said, "Lei Luo, it seems that you don't know much about the Soul Eater Dagger. Shall I show you what it really is, and can you still move?"

Lei Luo was taken aback and tried to move, and sure enough, his body was completely paralyzed. The two druids also knew the seriousness of the situation, but neither they could use magic nor weapons to hurt Rog, who was made of gray mist.

Rogge laughed and said, "Relo, you must be very comfortable in Dresden these days, right? I'll make it a little more comfortable!"

Lei Luo still couldn't move, but his face was already blue!

"It's so strong! I can't even cripple you like this!" exclaimed the fat man.

Lei Luo gritted his teeth, looked at Rogge, who was starting to become thinner, and said fiercely: "Do you only have this ability!"

Rogge, whose figure gradually disappeared, sneered and said, "This time it's just to teach you a lesson, next time it will directly stab your eyes! You bring a message to those old things in the Council of Elders, so that they had better put iron armor on their eyes before going to bed in the future! I don't necessarily come back when!"

It was only at this time that Lei Luo realized that he was already drenched in a cold sweat. He looked at the Soul Eater on the ground, and for a moment he didn't know whether to pick it up or not.

"Nonsense!" Wella said coldly as she looked at the recovered Rogge.

Rogge smiled and said, "I just want the druids to be suspicious and suspicious." By the way, Fengyue, what is the matter with you coming here this time?"

As soon as Wei Na grabbed the void in his left hand, the fat man flew into that slender hand, and then the rest of his spiritual power flowed into Wei Na's hand like a hundred rivers entering the sea, and the flowing luster in the pattern on the demon lotus brightened a little in the blink of an eye.

As soon as Wella let go of her hand, Rog, who was already close to collapse, 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 Weina's figure disappeared, the black-haired and silver-eyed Fengyue quietly appeared from the other side.

Seeing the fat man whose mental power was already empty, she couldn't help but be stunned......
