Astor has his own pride, and even without the help of Loris and the family behind her, with his current prestige in the Windy City, Astor doesn't feel like he's going to lose to Charles.

It's just that......

Astor covered his chest with one hand, feeling his heart throbbing at the moment. And when Dachtado was alienated for the second time, the dragon who had made a contract with him was screaming angrily.

The poison dragon ordered Astor through a pact that it wanted to eat the alienated Dacheta.

Astor hasn't responded to the poison dragon yet, and the heart has already made a 'decision' at this moment.

The golden pillar of light that penetrated the night surrounded the cocoon, and the second-alienated Dachedo continued to frantically absorb the power of light. The Pope was not truly benevolent, he did not completely let his light go, and was secretly observing Ryan's movements.

If Michelle doesn't react much, the Pope expects to delay until Diquitaron is fully integrated with the core, and then make Dacheta one of the sacrifices. If Michelle had taken action to destroy the cocoon at this moment, Dachedo's secondary alienation would have ended in an instant...... And there will be more Dachedo in the light.

Ryan could guess what the Pope was waiting at the moment, so he didn't point too much to the act of expressing his attitude and thoughts.

Ryan's fingers caressed the shaft of the staff, but he didn't respond immediately, making it unclear what he was thinking. After waiting for a few seconds, he faced Astor and asked in a cold low voice, "What do you want to trade with me?" ”

As he spoke, Astor was still thinking about how he could trade with the mysterious merchant Michelle as a non-space magician.

At this moment, his eyes lit up slightly when he heard Ryan's inquiry, and he took a step forward with his staff in his left hand under the gaze of most people, closer to the direction where Michelle was.

The surrounding eyes looked at Astor, who looked sideways slightly.

The Fa Saint pondered Astor's thoughts, and after a moment he whispered a spell with his staff. The storm condensed into an aura and was isolated from Astor and Ryan, as well as Loris and Orn, to prevent more people from hearing Astor's request.

The air flow spun at high speed, and Orn embraced the fire elemental elf, and he was surprised that Astor had suddenly become generous, and he actually allowed himself to know the request at this moment.

Loris's hands removed from the scarf and held the floating staff.

The maids and attendants assist the Dharma Saint, so that the wind energy is isolated from prying eyes.

Astor looked at Ryan, leaned forward slightly, and said in a firm and deep tone: "Mr. Michelle, I want to ask for your help, I hope you can strip the seed of light from my heart, forcibly break the contract between me and the poisonous dragon, and help me get out of the dragon knight status." ”

The moment Astor finished speaking, the mark of a dragon appeared on the back of his hand holding the staff, and his hair flew down his back, and even the storm around Astor seemed to be going wild.

Yaster's complexion is slightly purple, and the ends of his hair are gradually dyed black.

The sage, the attendants, and the maidens all trembled at Astor's words, they had speculated about the request to strip the seed of light, but they never thought that Astor would make such a decision to forcibly terminate the contract.

Loriss looked at Astor worriedly, she knew the contract between the poisonous dragon and Astor and knew what the consequences would be if it was terminated, and her heart was full of entanglements at the moment.

Orn stroked the fire elemental elf's fingers slightly, and his eyes looked at Astor like flames.

Ryan also thought that Astor would ask him to help strip the seed of light from his heart, but he didn't expect Astor to become so crisp, and even a little different from the character just now when he let Lorith bear the pain in his place.

Maybe......

Ryan casually folded his arms and looked at Astor under his hood, "From what I know so far, it's an adult poison dragon who has signed a contract with you. Do you really want to ask for my help, or is the Light manipulating your mind at this moment so that he can absorb more of the sacrifices? ”

"I don't know the answer to that question, but I know that the Light is leading me to temptation, what I need to do to satisfy you, and I've never had the sober will to do at this moment."

Astor replied with extremely calm eyes, and at the same time rolled up his loose sleeve robe, revealing two arms with slightly violent veins, "I met a sleeping poisonous dragon in the ruins opened by the Temple of Light, and learned the way to awaken the poisonous dragon from the cardinal archbishop who traveled with me, and with the help of the light, I signed a contract with the dragon and became a respected dragon knight.

I reaped the glory and the king's approval, and no one knows how much I paid for it to make a pact with the poisonous dragon. ”

"By putting the seed of light in my heart, I will be able to reap more blessings of light...... I was able to restore the strength of the poisonous dragon that had been sleeping for too long, and at the same time I lost and depleted my own vitality. ”

Orn looked down at the throbbing veins in his arm, and snorted in a low voice of indifference, "I signed a contract with the poisonous dragon to become a dragon knight, not by my own strength. I have the help of the light, the poisonous dragon that has been sleeping for too long and is about to die has never recognized me, it only needs my life force, and it is up to me to absorb it...... Through the contract between me and the dragon, the nourishment to the poisonous dragon will be conveyed.

Now it seems that maybe everything has been a conspiracy of the Temple of Light from the beginning, stripping the seed of light and breaking the contract with the dragon, I must do both, otherwise I will not be able to return to my original state, and it will only get worse and worse. ”

When Astor finished his thoughts 'soberly', his left hand covered the pulsating veins of his right wrist, and a dark green magic circle appeared behind him.

When the dragon's horns emerged from the center of the magic circle, and the pact dragon was about to roar at Astor, Ryan tapped his staff in the air, and Andrew looked up at the dragon in the magic circle. When Andrew unleashed his coercion on the dragon, the angry dragon was immediately afraid. The coercive precision that belonged to the king of the black dragon made it not even dare to look in the direction of the release of the coercion, and fled back into the dimensional space connected by the magic array in a hurry.

As soon as the magic array and the dragon's groan appeared, Yaster's expressions were a little dazed.

Andrew whispered in Ryan's head, "A poisonous dragon that should have died, relying on the life force of others to survive, and still has the breath of the undead in its body. ”

Ryan looked at Astor under his hood, thinking about the inexplicable strangeness in his heart.

Loriss covered her staff with trembling hands, pointed the tip of the staff at Astor, and asked in a slightly panicked and uneasy voice: "It's not just the poisonous dragon, you have a problem at the moment." Are you the Highness we know as Astor, or the Aster who has been disturbed by the Seed of Light? ”

The Arche, who had followed Astor, raised his staff and stood beside him with his attendants, pointing the tip of his weapon at Loris's hands.

The handmaidens stood in front of Loris, and the most powerful handmaiden looked up at the Dharma Saint, the elements condensed at the tip of the staff, "Princess Loris's questioning is no problem, you are also the bearer of the Seed of Light, are you also a servant of Light?" ”

Fa Sheng hesitated, it is indeed possible that he is also under the control of the light.

Ryan was more clearly aware of the possibility.

Astor who had let Loris take the damage in his place before, that should be the real Astor

In order to maintain his identity as an heir, Astor will not allow himself to speak out about his vulnerability, and if he has the courage to admit his mistakes, he will not lose too much to Charles.

Even if he asks for help, Yaster should just communicate with Michelle alone.

Astor has a selfish personality, and Loriss knows better the choices Astor will make.

Orn put the fire elemental spirit on his shoulder, he felt that Astor's behavior just now was too strange, and he thought that Astor's conscience had finally found out and he was ready to repent, but it turned out that it was the light that affected Astor's consciousness.

Orn whispered sarcastically: "It is worthy of the light of hypocrisy, and it is easy to adapt to whatever you do." ”

The Dharma Saint slowly lowered his staff and began to question himself, wondering if he had been affected by the light. It's just that his identity is not as noble as Aster, and Fa Sheng thinks that there should be none.

The storm was about to dissipate and recondense, and the alien mood outside the wind wall was slightly anxious.

The cowardice of the poisonous dragon made Astor's body return to normal, the green tendons on his arms no longer rioted, and in the worried eyes of Loris, Fa Sheng and others, the reason given by the light disappeared, and Aster clearly realized what he had just said, and the expression on his face suddenly became much gloomy.

It's just that the words have been spoken, and it is useless to refute them.

Astor felt some pain in his forehead, and finally closed his eyes and shook his head, "I don't know, but normally I can't and can't say those words." ”

He must keep himself free of rudeness at all times, otherwise he will not be the most suitable prince.

Loriss put down her staff, feeling a little relieved.

Although it may be that Bright has done something again, the feeling that the current Astor gives her is the Astor that Loris is familiar with.

"It seems that you were indeed affected by the Seed of Light just now. The Pope may want you to befriend me and free the poisonous dragon as one of his sacrifices to nourish the core. ”

Ryan's voice remained indifferent, "So...... Astor, is the deal you just talking about going to be voided? ”

Loris's fingers clenched slightly as she held the staff, and looked at Astor quietly. Although she was affected by the light, she hoped that Aster would be free from the control of the seed of light.

The heirs of the Windy City cannot be controlled by the Light, otherwise she will not be able to continue to help Astor, whether or not she continues to trust Astor, and the family behind her will no longer be able to help Astor.

Hearing Ryan's inquiry, Astor fell into a deep tangle. But listening to Michelle's words, it seems that there is an idea to make a trade.

It was a blessing to be able to trade with the mysterious merchant Michelle, and Astor did not hesitate for long, bowing his head in awe and replying: "If you can, dear Mr. Michelle, I hope to make a deal with you, and I ask you to take out the seed of light in my heart." ”

Loris's eyes were slightly lost, and Orn was not surprised by Asther's answer.

Ryan's eyes under the hood were subtle, "Is this request just enough?" ”

"Yes, I hope to have your help in stripping the seed of light from within me."

Astor looked up at Ryan, "The contract I signed with the poisonous dragon, forcibly dissolving it would consume too much of my life, and I can't break the contract with the poisonous dragon right now." ”

He can't afford to lose his identity as a dragon knight, especially when Loriss has deliberately deviated from trust, breaking the contract and losing his identity as a dragon knight will make him more passive.

The Dharma Saint and the attendant beside Astor originally wanted to say something, but seeing that Astor had already made a decision, they all remained silent and quietly guarded beside Asther.

Loriss waited patiently until Astor finished speaking, and then hesitated to remind: "Your Highness Astor, are you still in a situation where you are controlled by the light?" ”

Perhaps the influence of the light has not yet dissipated, but Astor did not understand Loris's kindness, shook his head and replied: "We don't have much time, I hope Mr. Michelle can help me to strip the seed of light from my body, so that I will not be controlled by the light again." ”

Loriss wanted to say something, but Astor had already looked away and asked again to Ryan, "Mr. Michelle, I want you to help me, as long as I can use it to trade with you......"

"Yes."

Ryan's voice was even colder and more casual than just now, "Ten thousand gold coins, I promised to help you take out the light seed in your heart, and only you can have this price." ”

There was no need to continue communicating with Yaster.

Yaster didn't think it was expensive, he felt that 10,000 gold coins was even a bit less.

Astor looked at Ryan hesitantly, "Mr. Michelle, is it really enough to only need 10,000 gold coins?" ”

"Of course." Ryan, "To completely strip the seed of light from your body, ten thousand gold coins are enough. ”

Peeling off a seed of light doesn't need him to do it himself, he can solve it by buying items directly in the store.

Yaster's real problem was with the poisonous dragon, but he hadn't realized it even now.

Yaste reached out and touched the storage space, took out a space ring containing more than 10,000 gold coins, and handed the spiritual power to Ryan, with a look of awe, completely ignoring the previous doubts, "Thank you for your kindness, respected Mr. Michelle, thank you for your willingness to trade with me." ”

Ryan caught the space ring, and without saying too much, let the system directly deduct 10,000 gold coins, and then return the space ring and the extra gold coins, along with a black magic box.

Ryan's voice was much colder: "I like honest and trustworthy transactions, and I don't like some useless thoughts. ”

Astor took the magic box, took back the space ring, bent slightly towards Ryan's waist, and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, respected Mr. Michelle." ”

With more than 10,000 gold coins, Astor originally wanted to apologize for his previous doubts, but Michelle seemed to see through his thoughts.

"Dachedo's alienation continues, there is no need to waste time."

Ryan, "The prop to strip the Seed of Light is in the box, just cut a wound in the chest. The process is a bit painful, I hope you can persevere, others can't help you bear the pain. ”

Astor clearly understood what Ryan was referring to, and his faces flushed with shame on both sides, "I'm very sorry. ”

Ryan looked away.

Loriss lowered her head and clutched her staff.

Astor wasn't annoyed by Ryan's attitude, after all, his earlier questioning was indeed problematic.

Michelle's willingness to trade with him has been incredible, which is why he is a little eager. This, combined with his disgust for the Seed of Light, the sharing of thoughts of the fear of the poisonous dragon, and the influence of the Seed of Light's persistence, left him with no more energy to think.

Yaster picked up the magic box with his spiritual power, and opened it flexibly with his fingers, and there was only a dagger in the magic box with a pure gold and a red gem inlaid in the middle, as if the light element was condensed.

Astor was now afraid of light, and when he saw the dagger in the box, he was stunned for a second, and then hesitantly asked Ryan: "Dear Mr. Michelle, can this prop really completely strip the light seed from my body?" ”

"Of course." Ryan bowed, "This is the condensation of the pure light element, which can quickly strip away the seeds of light in your body, as well as the remaining gifts of light. ”

Astor still hesitated, but now he had no choice. He slowly took out the dagger from the box, and the moment the dagger of light touched his palm, he immediately felt a soft and divine light.

The dagger shines in a completely different light from the light of the Pope, pure and holy, like a spring of sunlight that soothes the weary soul and makes the whole body relax with the light.

Astor held the dagger in his palm, no longer questioning the props that Ryan had given him.

Through the sharing of Aster's mind, the Pope's phantom hidden underground has dark eyes, he has a vision, but Michelle really has it in his hand, carrying such a pure and bright prop.

Touching the dagger with the palm of his hand not only brings the warmth of the light, but Astor also knows how to use the dagger from the light.

When Astor unfastened his collar and stabbed the tip of his actinic dagger into his chest, the light seemed to merge with his skin. In Astor chest, the silent heart beat violently again. The seed of light parasitic in his heart tried to escape the light, but when Astor stabbed the dagger into his chest, the light enveloped him, making it impossible for evil to escape.
