Katzejek spoke slowly, and the big fuchsia head nodded lightly:

"It's even a little difficult for me to grasp the location of the source of his divine power, if this is a change, then this change is undoubtedly very unfavorable for us, it is very likely that he has overcome the suppression of him by the main material plane on a part of Cheng dù, but it is difficult for me to judge how much Cheng dù has. So, what do you think?"

His voice was still as gentle and gloomy as ever, as if it was oozing with negative energy, but the last question made both of them startled at the same time, because it was obviously not to consult any of them again......

"Yo, old octopus skin, have you grown your skills?

The woman's figure quietly appeared in everyone's sight, the delicate magic leather armor and the narrow blade behind it belonged to Gardenia, but the slightly seductive tone and extremely casual way of using words were enough to show that she was actually the powerful archmage at this moment: "That guy just now, it should be Lansendel, right? What did you do to provoke him? I said a long time ago, but you can't learn those weird hobbies from Edward, and the result? Now that you have learned to provoke the gods, what is the result? They've smashed all of your stuff all at once, and if he comes back next time, what are you going to do?"

"Why bother with us, Your Excellency Archmage, you must be ready to confront this god when you appear here, right?" Katzejek's voice remained unchanged, but the meaning was severe: "In fact, now, or to your surprise, we have resolved this crisis. Otherwise, after the Lord of Dawn has done even more damage, your reappearance will help. In this way, I am afraid that we will be more acceptable to your next request. Isn't it?"

"Nonsense, such a kind-hearted beautiful girl. It's impossible to think about those terrible things like a centuries-old monster like you!" The archmage's voice immediately became shrill: "Girls have to make a lot of preparations, can you understand a dirty and smelly old monster?"

"Well, let's talk about what is happening now. ”

"Now, what's going on now? Isn't that Lansendel...... He has probably learned the way to use the power of the ancient evil creature now, so he naturally wants to swallow all the gods who originally hindered him, and it is not Edward who is a threat to him now, so it is normal for him to want to get rid of this only competitor. ”

The archmage spread his hands, and his face didn't matter:

"My opinion is, it's not a big deal, the gods of the multiverse or something. That's the case with all male creatures, they have this desire for exclusivity at all times, and they always come out whenever they have the chance, but it doesn't matter to me, he's just looking for trouble with the gods, oh, and Edward's, and I don't need to be nervous, he's the leader. I'm just an archmage under his rule, and I don't want to compete with God for any status, and the power of faith is almost what everyone can contribute, and he doesn't lack a believer like me who is obviously not too faithful......"

"Hey. You big ...... Archmage, Lansendale said, he's going to capture us to find Edward!"

The archmage's senseless look made Lisa frown. couldn't help but interject, but only in exchange for a sly smile from the other party: "Oh." So I'm afraid we need to talk about how I can help you. ”

"Magical materials are not a problem. Whether it's the Jewel of Bejuri, the Crystal Green Emerald, or the Tears of the King, the Ebony or the Elemental Core Gold, or all kinds of magical items, scrolls, I have a way to get them, and it is not a problem to help you when necessary. ”

Marilyn smiled and whispered, but finally asked the question......

"The question is, why would I do that?"

In the room on the top floor of the magic tower, the entire air seemed to freeze with this question, no one spoke, everyone slowly turned their gaze, looked at their companions, and then saw helplessness in the eyes of the other party...... It was the first time that the Archmage had asked this question so directly in front of everyone, and it was clear that no one here could give a proper answer.

The archmage curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and with a hint of a girl's immature face, she was filled with some cunning aura, she slowly examined the half-elves, female knights, and drow priests in front of her, and finally stopped at the staff lady:

"Over the past year, we have had a good time, and I do seem to be deserving of a favor to you, but correspondingly, I have also provided Edward and you with some help...... So you don't want to change our original tacit understanding and ask me for some unrequited support now, do you? While I'm actually happy to help you in what I can, don't you think the main thing we're talking about now is going against the gods?"

What is the price of being an enemy of God?

It seems that from ancient times to the present day, in the time of 10,000 years, there has not been a single precedent to refer to—there are only two kinds of stories of enmity with God, biographies, or legends that mention the outcome of such an act.

Disappearing, or becoming a god - the former leaves no valuable news, while the latter has no meaning for the form of the moment.

"If you kill God, you can get God's position, but you probably know that I have no interest in it. ”

The archmage said in a man's voice, his eyes wandering, as if he was more interested in the frustrated look on everyone's face:

"People are people, people should live happily, do what they like, and I have never been a person who likes to think about the meaning of this world, except for liberating those beautiful girls, giving them absolute freedom, and developing sweet love with them, I am not very interested in the state of other creatures. Not to mention giving them faith or maintaining the operation of certain laws of the world...... Becoming a god may be a good thing for some madmen, as it can satisfy their greed for power and the pursuit of power to the greatest extent. But I'm not one of those stupid vulgar people, and I'm not only not interested in these vulgar things. Even more disgusted, the order of the world just runs as it is. Why bother tampering with it and causing a lot of maladaptation?"

"If you don't want to help, forget it, we didn't want you to help in the first place. What's the use of saying so much......"

Lisa pursed her lips and muttered, but the archmage then smiled:

"I didn't say I wouldn't help, after all, if something goes wrong with a girl like you, then it's a great sin, although the sin should be borne by the culprit, Edward. But there's no way I'm going to just sit idly by. I mean, as long as you pay me enough in exchange, I'm going to help you. ”

“...... Isn't it the same?you don't need what we have, what do you exchange it for?" Miss Half-Elf opened her mouth, then lowered her gaze in frustration.

"Of course you can do that. Otherwise, what's the point of me saying it?" the archmage chuckled, "Anna Sui. ”

"Yes...... Huh?"

The staff lady subconsciously responded, but she immediately noticed that the other party was not simply calling her name.

"I mean, I can use Anna Sui as a condition for me to help you. ”

Marilyn held her cheeks with one hand and tilted her head slightly. The red eyes were sparkling, and she observed with interest the change in the expression of the staff lady: "She has this value." Give her to me, and I'll help you fight Lansendel, or protect the city, or something......"

"This ...... How can this be ......?"

The blush instantly spread across Miss Staff's pale face. In an instant, even her slender pink neck was already infected, and she coughed lightly before finally speaking in a panic: "Your Excellency Marilyn." We are discussing these matters concerning the survival of the entire city with the utmost sincerity, so please don't be kidding...... This ......"

"I'm serious. There is a pay, there is always a return. It's one of the rules of this world, nothing is gratuitous, little Anna Sui. ”

The archmage laughed loudly: "And in this city, the only one who feels suitable is you, they are all Edward's, I have no interest in destroying other people's love, but your words are fine...... Be my thing, so that I can add some absolute comfort to your experience, and I've decided that oh, our wedding, it's going to be very grand, I'll have a tribal silver elf come to you as a guest, and a foil, and I've got the best dresses ready, you're going to love it......"

"Weddings? blah...... Wait a minute! What are you talking about?"

Before Anna Sui could speak again, the half-elf finally woke up from her stupor, and immediately shouted to interrupt the archmage's strange plan that was about to exit:

"You're too ...... It's shameless...... No, I mean, it won't work! Anna Sui is mine, well, Edward's servant, so where and what she does, only Edward can decide, it's a contract she made with Edward. ”

"That simple contract doesn't have any binding power on me, little Lisa?"

The archmage blinked: "Well, I have already considered this for you now, and it is precisely because her freedom can be decided by you at this moment, so I will use my help in exchange, if not, then I will have to ask her own wishes, right?"

"This, this, no! She's Edward's woman, it's our gang, I can't give it to you!"

"Oops...... This stupid little girl, why did you bring her in again? There aren't enough suspects?"

"Rotten melon, shut up!" the half-elf flew at Drow with a roar and a string of eye knives, and then turned to the archmage, "I can't accept this condition! What's more, who knows how sure you can help us fight against Lansendel? He's a high god, and like you said, he's got special powers, and if he's serious, there's no chance for mortals to fight against him, and now." We only need to repair the city of Burgundy, or at least use the space circle to fight him. ”

"If He is really 'serious', do you really think that it is only with the power of the space circle. Can you fight against a powerful god?" Marilyn sighed softly, bringing the topic back on track:

"As far as I know, she's not Edward's anybody, is she? Edward even a finger...... Ah, of course, I don't believe it when he says he hasn't touched his hands, but the relationship between him and Anna Su is a simple relationship between the city lord and the staff who are in harmony, and he doesn't say anything special to Anna Sue, and he has no desires. So he just sees it as a credible assistant. So, it's not about feelings. ”

"That's not going to work! that's just ......."

The half-elf gritted his teeth fiercely, but the words were still stagnant halfway through - how to argue was obviously a problem.

This kind of thing ignores Anna Sui's wishes?

But it seems that it was she who deprived Anna Sui of her freedom from the beginning and turned her into a maid in the name of a prisoner of war...... The remaining questions, the cunning archmage, had obviously considered, and all possibilities had been blocked by her words.

Moreover, if this condition can be exchanged for the help of an additional archmage, it seems that it is indeed a good deal. Even if it was Edward, maybe he would have to think about it?

- Even if this archmage is planning to do something wrong, but if she really 'wants' this staff lady away, what can she do?

It's just two women!

"Actually, you can too, little Lisa. ”

It was as if he had seen through some of her thoughts. Marilyn covered the corners of her mouth and chuckled softly: "If you can be my favor, then I can also listen to your request." Or, Miss Claudia?"

Her red eyes were as pure and clear as jewels. However, the figures reflected in it all showed indescribable expressions, and even Daheni couldn't help but subconsciously retract her gaze - in a year's time. Although the contact was infrequent, the archmage's strange hobby was impressive enough, even if it was only a little contact.

Although in normal times, this is just a topic for recreation after tea, but when this kind of thing can really happen to them, the values formed over the years still make them instinctively choose to escape.

"Master Marilyn, do you need to reconsider this condition, or is there any other workaround......

Anna Sue reluctantly spoke.

Of course, she knew very well what the archmage meant by 'wanting' herself...... But this kind of thing is so unbelievable that it is impossible for her to accept it immediately......

The staff lady pursed her lips, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

She suddenly realized that she had subconsciously thought about 'acceptance' as a premise—compared to the threat of being threatened by the Lord of the Dawn, the archmage's request was really insignificant. And taking a step back, I'm not a chaste woman who is completely inexperienced, is it still necessary to protect this superficial reserve?

That is already a fait accompli, and who in this room does not know, and what is wrong with the mere exchange of the safety of everyone in the city for the mere sacrifice of this boring disguise?

But why do you have to do it?

How much of this city is his own? I am afraid that he has not even the slightest bit, he is just a custodian, and when that man finally returns, he will not be an insignificant little staff, no, even a servant, a slave! There is no need for him to give anything for this city! What Burgundy, what city of Edward, let it be reduced to ashes in the wrath of the Lord of the Dawn, and what connection can it have with himself? Are the tens of thousands of people who fled to the Empire that they almost didn't know at all? Or are they the Tumenians who have only been with them for a year and are more familiar with them? Or are these girls who have some connection with the nasty, arrogant and cunning lord of the city? No joke, they are the source of their own suffering! Maybe they are already thinking about making their own sacrifices to save the city, right?

Even if you decide to be with Archmage Marilyn...... Leaving together is just to protect your own safety, not for the city and these people!

The poor young lady raised her gaze, lowered it again, opened her mouth, and closed it again...... The cherry lips were bitten and bitten, and the poor delicate lip flaps were already red because of this...... Eventually, she looked up.

"I ......"

"Ah, don't rush to make a decision, little Anna Sui. A certain archmage shook his hand with a smile: "That stupid man of Lansendel, at least this time he was defeated by you, so I think it is impossible for him to gather enough strength to come back again for at least two or three days." ”

She got up and came behind Anna Sui, then bowed her head lightly and whispered in her ear:

"Think about it...... If you agree, I'll give you something that's hundreds of times more interesting than this kind of place, for example, do you want to be the king of most of the cities on the continent and make the most of your talents?

...... (To be continued......)
