The rare station of the Abyss Hermitage is not in the city, but in a deep valley two thousand miles west of Castlevania, it is dark, but no demonic beast dares to set foot in it. Beyond the valley lies a vast plain where all kinds of magical beasts live, from ordinary beasts to magical beasts, from herbivores to carnivores.

This is the breeding ground of the Abyss Hermitage, and it is also the main source of their sacrificial flesh and blood.

There is a wide, tall tunnel that can accommodate four horses side by side, and the tunnel is deep and winding, leading to the underground.

The top of the stone wall is inlaid with a rare night pearl, and there is a fist-sized night pearl every two meters, which can be called luxurious.

The tunnels grew wider and wider, and after a while, new tunnels began to appear on either side, and these tunnels grew like branches, connecting the dwellings of the hermitage members one after another. At the end of the tunnel is a large circular square, the ground is paved with smooth stone slabs, and there are eleven deep branch tunnels on each side, except for the main tunnel, where it is not known where to go.

Ignoring the prohibitions in the valley, Adonis walked briskly into the tunnel, and after entering the square, he walked straight to the innermost branch of the tunnel, and finally stopped in front of a stone door.

The stone gate is carved with two demons on the left and right, which are the two subordinate gods under the throne of the Flesh and Blood. The Burning Demon Saviara has a hot body and a beautiful face, but her body is filled with flames, which can easily make people burn to ashes; The swallowing demon Idastin has four legs and four hands, and its huge mouth occupies more than half of its head, as if it can swallow the whole world into its stomach.

"Chief, my subordinates are back."

Adonis swallowed his dry throat and took a deep breath before he dared to speak.

The stone door opened, and a red light as thick as blood poured out of it, and Adonis shook his face fiercely, and finally gritted his teeth and walked in.

It was as if it were a sea of blood.

"You don't have the scent of a dragon's soul on you, and it looks like you've failed, Adonis."

The deep voice of the leader of the hermitage rang out, including a deep sigh: "What do you want me to do with you twice in a row?" Well? ”

The leader of the hermit had a calm tone, but the sea of blood around him suddenly surged, and various hideous shapes of faces continued to condense in the waves—there were humans and demonic beasts, but without exception, their faces showed extreme pain, and their mouths were opened to the maximum, but they couldn't make a sound.

Obviously, he was not at peace inside.

Adonis's heart throbbed, he knew the cruelty of the leader's methods, among these faces, there were even two hermit teachers, both of whom had been swallowed alive by the leader for their great mistakes, and if he didn't answer well, he was afraid that this sea of blood would swallow him immediately.

Not daring to hesitate, Adonis hurriedly said, "Chief, please give me a chance to explain." ”

The tumbling sea of blood paused, and the waves crashed in, sinking those faces underwater.

"Say."

Adonis quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and said quickly: "Svein is not dead, he took refuge in a strange god, and the other party's god son made a move, which led to the failure of the operation." Please forgive me, my subordinates are willing to continue to make meritorious contributions! ”

The surrounding sea of blood suddenly set off a monstrous wave, and the dense face became even more painful and hideous, making Adunis's legs and stomach weak.

"Gods?"

The tide suddenly stopped at its highest, and solidified along with the faces.

Adonis didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said: "It is the god, the other party claims to be the ultimate destination of the Lord of the Underworld, the God of the Ancient Titans and the Lord of the Holy Fire, it is he who came to the rescue of Svein, the strength of the other party's god son is unfathomable, and he also threatens to establish a religion in Gloomy Crystal City." ”

With that, the great wizard of flesh and blood waited anxiously for the final ending.

"Lord of the Underworld." The leader muttered to himself, ignoring Adunis.

The other party didn't dare to make a sound, so he stood silently and tormented.

After a whole day, the chief said, "You are not guilty of this matter." ”

As if he had been pardoned, Adonius cautiously asked, "What else does the chief command?" If you don't have subordinates, you will retire. "He only wants to flee as far as possible now, and the leader had better send him to the Far North.

But I heard the leader of the hermit order ask, "What is the situation with the other dragon?" ”

Adonis was secretly disappointed, but quickly replied: "Before you sent out the raid on Dark Crystal City, the people of the Sivana Temple had already started to build sacrificial vessels, according to the insider report, the people of the temple began to collect all kinds of precious materials three years ago, and from the list we obtained, they were quite ambitious, and it seems that they wanted to make three pieces at once. ”

"Sanshenchi?"

The leader of the hermit cult didn't know what to think, and his tone was sarcastic, and then he said, "Since they have already started to build the sacrificial vessel, it means that the dragon is about to welcome its first oracle. From now on, it is the most critical time for both her and us, the ordinary inside line is useless, you can sneak into the Shivana Temple yourself, you don't need to do anything, just watch closely and wait patiently. When the time comes, I will rush back from the world of light. ”

Lurk under the nose of a high-ranking god who is about to ascend to the gods?

Adonis opened his mouth silently, but finally did not dare to disagree with the chief's order, and bowed his head and replied, "Yes." After a moment's hesitation, he asked again, "What about Gloomy Crystal City?" ”

"Ignore it for the time being, and continue to send insiders to collect information."

"Yes!"

The Great Wizard then left in despair.

The stone door closes automatically.

In the depths of the sea of blood, the leader's puzzled voice sounded again: "There is no response, why is there no response?" ”

Is that one disdainful to respond, or does he not know about this so-called Lord of the Underworld?

Gloomy City, the Temple of the Holy Fire.

The messenger brought back from Sivana a list of materials that were invaluable and rare.

The reply given by the Sivana Temple was that as long as Gloomy Crystal met the requirements on the list, Fury Wing agreed to borrow fire.

"100,000 C-grade power stones, 100 third-order crystal nuclei, 500 pairs of furious red-eyed elephant tusks, and 1,000 dragon scales...... What are you kidding, do those people really think that we are the emperor of the soil, rich and rival the country? Herman was directly stunned by the appetite of the Shivana Temple, and cursed in his heart.

But Otis's next words left Herman in place.

"Ahem, you go down and rest." Otis waved his hand to let the messenger leave, to avoid damage to the image of the Divine Son, "An ......" just opened his mouth, but realized something, his expression darkened, and asked his daughter, "Sally, Necuri, I remember that Lord Svein shed more than a thousand dragon scales, almost ninety third-order crystal nuclei, and the ivory is also about ten pairs, I can't remember anything else, you go down and check to see how much is still missing, and report a number." ”

(Didn't you say that the dark world was barren?) Why are there so many good things? ）

Herman had forgotten that this was a long-standing force that had been established for more than three thousand years, and although there were many of these things, it was not impossible to get out of Gloom City.

Sally nodded, "Got it, father." ”

Seeing Herman's stunned appearance, Sally couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Even if Sally knew Herman's identity as an envoy, she didn't have so much awe of him after getting acquainted with him, and said with a smile: "Herman, don't underestimate our city-state, after all, Gloomy Crystal City is also a force that was almost promoted to a medium-sized city-state." These things may be unbearable for an individual, but for a city-state, they are still within the range of affordability. ”

Herman was embarrassed.

Otis said at this time: "Although we can take it out, we can't promise them the fullest, at most seventy percent." ”

Sally didn't understand for a moment, and wondered, "Why is that, father?" Is it acceptable for you to do this at the Shivana Temple? ”

Otis ignored his daughter and asked Herman, "What is your opinion?" ”

Although Gloomy Crystal City is not his, Herman, who is used to poverty, is still subconsciously in favor of bargaining. Moreover, if he accepted Angry Wing City's request without refuting it, the other party might not be able to make any more outrageous requests, so he praised: "It's still thoughtful, just do what you want." ”

"Yes." Otis turned to Sally and instructed, "You can do this." ”

Sally, though she couldn't understand it, pouted and agreed.

Soon, the inventory was sorted out.

Herman also got a glimpse of the family of Gloom City.

Among them, there are a total of 320,000 energy stones: 200,000 for D-grade, 113,000 for C-grade, and 7,000 for B-grade; There are 3,113 dragon scales, all of which are fourth-order dragon scales, which are enough materials to build elite-level magic weapons. It's a pity that there are no alchemists in Dark Crystal City who are good at forging, and these dragon scales have never been useful; There were 189 third-order crystal nuclei, and the number of them was almost shocking Herman's jaw; more than 600 pairs of ivory; Other materials far exceeded the amount that Fury Wing had asked.

It suddenly occurred to Herman that these family funds were still left after the consumption of Svein and Otis. I really don't know how full the inner library of Gloomy Crystal City was more than ten years ago.

(That's a lot of goodies!) I can't leave empty-handed after working for so long, besides, as a son of God, it's not too much for me to take some of my own things, right? ）

He immediately called Sally and asked her to take him to the temple vault and take the magic ring to collect it frantically. He took a thousand dragon scales that were more than a person tall, fifty crystal nuclei, and a hundred pairs of ivory...... If it weren't for the limited space in the magic ring, he would have to scavenge it clean.

Sally, who was watching from the sidelines, was dumbfounded, but didn't dare to stop Herman.

When she got out of Neku, Herman directly stuffed her with a bunch of magic materials, and said with a smile: "This is hush money, now we are accomplices." ”

After saying that, he ran away with a smoke.

Sally was at a loss for what to do with these magic materials worth tens of thousands of C-grade power stones, and her heart was entangled. Neku's things belonged to the city-state, and even if she was the only daughter of Otis, even if Herman gave it to her, Sally would not dare to take it; But if she put it back, she was really reluctant. Even a gifted wizard would be crazy to see these things, let alone a little awakened person.

Gloomy Crystal City is poor, the wealth of wizards is growing very slowly, these magic materials are enough for her to be promoted to a talent as quickly as possible, and she is really unwilling to give up.

After struggling for a long time, Sally still found her father to confess, and said with a sad face: "He is the son of God, let me lead the way, I dare not refuse." ”

Otis's face didn't change much when he heard this, but he just asked, "What did the Son of God take?" ”

Sally reported the number, and Otis nodded, "It's okay, you can re-register the rest." ”

Sally was stunned for a moment, tightened her hands on her chest, and cautiously asked, "So, what about these materials?" ”

Otis smiled meaningfully: "Didn't the Son of God say it?" This is hush money, just hold it with peace of mind. ”
