Self-cultivation of dragon set

It is not difficult to kill Duke Duke.To deal with this kind of alchemist whose combat ability is equal to minus five, as long as he stretches out his hand and wipes the dead spot on his back, he will definitely be able to bury one person, bleeding for five steps, and the city is full of blood, just like today.But if you want to kill him, you have to take the risk of changing the main plot. Now... the main plot has been changed a bit, but the change is still not too big.If he really wanted to cut off all the scenes of such a dungeon boss himself, he would still have to worry about the author's revenge.

So this person must be left to Glass to deal with, and he can dig a few holes at most to make him die even more.

He clenched his hands in his sleeves even tighter, and replied calmly, "Yes. When do you want someone?"

The Duke laughed, his expression was soft and gentle, as pure as the Sunwalker written in the scriptures: "Then wait for two days. I want a good and alive elf, and it will be delivered to the Duke's house in the west of the city on Sunday." In the gravekeeper's hut. This matter must be kept absolutely secret, and no one should know that the elf's disappearance has something to do with me. After the person is delivered, you don't have to worry about it."

Bai raised his chin, and added a price: "Time is too tight, and I can't clean up my hands. If I lose my wind, my demon society will cause a lot of trouble, and the price of this nothingness stone will not be enough."

The Duke frowned and said, "This Stone of Nothingness is the crystallization of the bones of high-level demons after death. The ones on the market are all handed down from the war between gods and demons thousands of years ago. It is not so easy to find them now. The price has already It’s high enough, it’s impossible to go up again, otherwise I’d rather go to the Assassin’s Guild to hire someone.”

"Can the Assassin's Guild give you a live elf? If you can find someone else to do this, you don't have to come here to meet me, do you, Your Excellency the Duke?" The lips under the leader's mask were slightly raised, as if It is determined that he will not change and cancel the order. "I don't want much. This Stone of Nothingness counts as a deposit. The final payment is just a two-hectare high-quality wheat field and a set of real estate. If you are sincere, we will sign the contract now under the witness of the Sun God. The day after tomorrow You can see the elf lying in the gravekeeper's hut every morning."

"……it is good."

It's just a field and a house, so what's it worth?

Bai took out a blank contract from the space ring, and wrote down the contract with a potion containing magic power: "It is hereby agreed...at 7 o'clock in the morning on July 24th, the leader of the Demon Cult must let Duke Duke see the living wolf mercenary group remotely. Archer, elf archer White. After seeing the man, Duke Duke must cede a house and two hectares of land to the Demon Cult. The Saturn God Hawthorne witnessed this matter, and it cannot be changed.”

When Bai wrote the name "Hawthorne", he raised his head and smiled at him: "I believe in the god of agriculture, so I am willing to swear by my main god. Do you want to add the name of the sun god to this contract?"

"No. It is enough to have the testimony of the God of Saturn." If you don't write the name of the main god, even if you are punished by the gods for breaking the contract, the god of Saturn will not punish him as a heretic too severely.Therefore, most people swear to the main god they believe in when they make oaths. This contract without the name of the sun god is much less binding on him.

The Duke secretly felt that there was not much of a problem with the contract, and it was even on his side - the head of the Demon Cult probably still tabooed his identity as the Duke, and didn't even write about the property and fields he wanted.After he gets the elves, he can find a few worthless land and houses to make up for.

So he stroked the short gray hair hanging down the side of his face, took the knife and cut his finger, and printed a fingerprint on the notarial certificate.

"May you succeed in getting the elf."

"The Demon Cult will not disappoint your expectations."

Bai wanted to take out the red wine to celebrate, but seeing the duke put on the hood and looked like he was about to leave, he gave up this tradition and ordered the future branch leader to send him home, and went down to speak by himself .

What he said today is "A single spark can start a prairie fire".

"Our continent is a world divided by the beliefs of various temples. The food varieties and tastes of consumers everywhere are seriously affected by beliefs, but such chaos can't stop us from moving forward. We are only satisfied with a small amount of food in the circle of close friends. MLM. We should see the prospect of the Demon Cult's development, and we should base ourselves on the reality, manufacture and sell different products according to the different tastes of different places, that is to say, the Demon Cult must establish its own basis... a production base!"

He has already selected the location of this production base. It is on the land of Duke Duke. The Duke himself has just signed a contract with him and intends to transfer him two hectares of land to build a processing factory.

"Your Excellency the Duke has made a divine contract with me. In two days, the land will belong to the Demon Cult. Please wait for the notice and dig the first shovel for our production base."

===================================

Duke Duke who returned home was as satisfied as Hierarch Bai.He rarely called his daughter into the study, and asked gently: "Mary, do you miss your mother?"

It has been nine years since the Duchess died.Mary was only eight or nine years old when her mother died, and her father never allowed anyone to mention her mother these years, so when she suddenly heard this sentence, she was stunned for a moment before she realized it, and quickly lowered her head and replied: "Yes, father, I I miss my mother so much."

She was not close to the Duke, and the father had always treated her coldly as a daughter.But today his attitude was quite different, he took the initiative to touch her hair, and smiled lovingly: "You really look exactly like your mother, she will be very proud when she sees your current appearance. Yes Yes, I heard that there was some misunderstanding between you and that mercenary captain, have you clarified it now?"

No, it was not a misunderstanding between them, but a missed relationship.

She shook her head sadly, and said in a low voice: "He has a girlfriend. He told me the other day that he loved the female elf in the regiment. And she is indeed prettier, better-figured, and more beautiful than me. It suits him..."

Mary's complexion became more and more gloomy, and she seemed to see the elf's bulging chest and the obvious tooth marks on the tips of her ears.But the Duke unexpectedly comforted her and said, "My little Mary is the most beautiful girl in the world. You have inherited your mother's beauty and kindness. What man can not like you? That elf will not be the one between you." Intervention, Father assures you. Because the elf..."

Soon to be your mother.

There was a light of hope in his eyes, and the gloom that had lingered on him for a long time was washed away. He stood up and patted his daughter: "Although that mercenary came from a poor background, he can do it with a young age of less than 20." You can look forward to your talent and future as a fourth-level magician at an early age. You spend more time with him these days, and wait until... that elf will no longer be with him, then he will realize that only you are the magician. The best man for him."

"But they've..."

Mary tried to tell her father that the elf had put on her boyfriend's shirt, but the Duke was no longer interested.It doesn't matter what experience that elf has with anyone, what matters is that her body can perfectly accommodate the soul of his wife, which is more suitable than this daughter who failed to inherit the talents of her parents and is just a purely ordinary person.

If it weren't for the blood relationship that made Mary more suitable than others to bear the mother's soul, he would not have wanted to use this daughter.Now here comes this elf, it is simply the treasure given to him by the God of Light—all elves are natural bodies and will not reject resurrection magic.As long as the soul is withdrawn while alive, the dead soul of his wife can be imported into it, allowing her to be resurrected in the most perfect state.

He's like a young man in love who doesn't listen to anything he doesn't like.But because his wife's resurrection was just around the corner, his attitude was much gentler than usual. He touched his daughter's blond hair, which was exactly the same as his wife's, and told her to leave: "Don't think too much, father will give you a surprise in a few days. By that day ...everything you want will be yours."

Mary left the study hesitantly, feeling a little uneasy on the way back, always feeling that her father's attitude was a little weird.She didn't think much about being oppressed by the Duke before, and she went back to the room to sort out the conversation between the father and daughter again, and then she grasped a clue—something she didn't know must have happened, and it seemed to be related to About that elf?

"That elf is no longer an obstacle between you", what does this sentence mean, why did her father tell her this?

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Taking advantage of the darkness, she quietly went to the small building behind and knocked on the door of the elf's room.At this time, Bai was still talking about the development plan of the Devil's Cult, teaching the congregants how to break the shackles of the old world, so naturally she would not appear here. Her knock on the door immediately attracted the head of the mercenary group Glass mower.

"Ah, it's you... You're looking for Bai... Is there something wrong with White?" Glass's eyes flashed a trace of disappointment, but he immediately hid it, and politely persuaded him: "It's getting late, if you have something to do , you can come to him tomorrow morning.”

Hearing his clear and gentle voice, the princess's face was still hot, she lowered her head and hummed: "No, it's nothing, I just want to see her, it's nothing serious."

Both were worried about the same person, and didn't care whether the other used "he" or "she" when speaking of the elf.Mary broke Bai's "afterwards" image with her own eyes. At this moment, she really couldn't look directly at this young man who fell in love at first sight, and hurried back, leaving Glass alone at the door, sighing helplessly at the empty room: " Why haven't you come back, you are really too eager, did you scare him?"

Worried and nervous, he sat at the door of the room and waited all night.When the night passed and the sky turned white, he couldn't wait any longer, and called Epe to leave the Duke's mansion together, and went to the city to find his lover who was disguised as an elf.

It's just that this day he found night from morning, and then found day from night, but he still didn't find white.It was as if, since that night of intimate embrace, he had disappeared without a trace of information left to find.

So he thought of the princess who had come to look for Bai, took the initiative to find her, and asked her if she knew where Bai had gone.When Mary heard him anxiously asking herself about the elf's whereabouts, she felt a sudden "click" in her heart, and she couldn't help but think of her father's abnormal conversation that night.

The elves will not hinder them anymore, is it because the father killed...

impossible!She forced herself to erase the astonishing guesses in her mind, tried her best to keep calm, and asked while clutching her skirt, "Are you sure that Lord White is missing? Maybe she just went out of town to hunt, why don't you go to her room to see what's left?" Didn't leave a note or something?"

of course not.Bai's room had been turned upside down by Glass, except for a huge ugly dragonfly found behind the sofa, there were no suspicious traces.He also knows about the dragonfly-like monster. Two days ago, Bai himself admitted that he raised it. As for where it came from, he doesn't care. Anyway, it was either given by the god of agriculture or found by his family from Sand Kangcui. Xixi look.

The little disgusted demon naturally couldn't hear the evaluation in his heart, otherwise he would definitely jump out to express his dissatisfaction.He is obviously one of the most popular high-level monsters in the Demon Realm, his IQ is close to that of the humanoid demons, and he has space talent. Even the Demon King uses it as a courier. How can a small human being criticize it?

shallow!

Fortunately, this superficial human being was not too stupid. After talking with Mary, he still remembered the mascot of the Devil's Cult, and took it out from behind the sofa to torture him: "Do you know where Bai went? He He is missing now, please take me to find him!"

The little disgusted demon shook his head with great backbone and let out a "woo".It's a pity that the human beings in front of him didn't intend to fulfill its integrity. They took out a large bag of grass mosquitoes from the grass on the way back from the bag and put them in front of it, saying coldly and domineeringly: "Find Bai, these are all yours." !"

Little disgusting demon...it gave in.It stepped on the net bag with its front legs, and struggled to utter the human language: "No bugs... want meat!"

Meat is even better.Glass asked the chef for a piece of leftover barbecue, and tempted the little disgusted demon to lead him and Epe to the main altar temporarily rented by the Demon Cult.There were still traces of the decoration of the Demon Cult's lectures held there, the smell of spices and meat in the room was still there, and there was a smell left by Bai everywhere, but this person was still nowhere to be found.

This was the last clue they could find. The little disgusted demon led them to the stairs, and when they reached the second floor, they curled up in the middle of the stairs, not daring to go up.Glass took out the piece of meat to seduce it for a long time but did not see it move. Epe persuaded behind his back: "Could it be that there are some powerful monsters here, and this fat dragonfly dare not go up?"

The two looked at each other with a bit of nervousness and worry in their eyes.Glass took out his wand, spread his right hand flat, revealing the black imprint of the starry sky on his palm, straightened his back, and said without looking back: "Take it downstairs and search it carefully, and I will go upstairs to look for it. If there is any danger You just run away, don't come up to me, even White and I can't deal with the enemy, even if you come... It's better to save your useful body to avenge the mercenary group!"

Epe wanted to rush up to follow the leader, but thinking that the nobleman who killed them was still alive and well, he swallowed the blood and took the little disgusted demon downstairs to check again.Glass, on the other hand, held his wand tightly, carefully guarding against monster attacks, and pushed open the first defensive door by the stairs.

There were only two floors and a dozen rooms, and he searched for an entire afternoon, even the tiniest corners.He broke into each room with the greatest expectation. Even if he couldn't find anyone after entering, he wished he could find a few words, or clues such as clothes and jewelry left by Bai.

Hope turned into disappointment again and again, until he didn't even care about guarding against any monsters, he just searched room after room numbly, and even forcibly carried the little disgusting demon to the second floor, telling it to find out what Bai left behind. breath.

After carrying the monster up, he realized that the little disgusting monster was only afraid of the floor next to the stairs on the second floor, so he used various test magic there to analyze its remaining traces.

"What the hell is here? Did he disappear here?" He held onto the thin body of the little loathsome demon, with an expression like a ghost. He felt that there was an extremely terrifying power remaining in that piece of air. Although the power had almost dissipated, the sense of restraint like destruction was far different from the bit of divine power dissipating from Bai's body.

Glass pinched it and grinded there for a long time, except that the little disgusted demon bow became a shrimp in fright, but still got nothing.Epe persuaded from the side: "Your Excellency Elf is dozens of times older than us, and his force is also very powerful, so nothing will happen. You haven't slept for two days, and if you go on like this, you will lose your mind. How can we find someone? Let's go back and rest for a while..."

go back……

Glass stared blankly at Eppe, a light and shadow suddenly flashed in his mind, "Huo" stood up from the ground and rushed out.

Miss Duke... She came to see Bai in a panic that night, and Bai never went back. She must know something!

……

Does she really know?

Maybe she didn't know it before, but now she's close to knowing it.

From the moment she found out about the elf's disappearance, Mary had been paying attention to her father's movements, and even sent her nuns and guards to follow the Duke secretly.Glass was gone forever, and she followed her father day and night—although she knew that this kind of thing was not for her as a daughter, but once the seeds of doubt were sown, they were like weeds in her. Her heart grew wildly, and it was so messy that it almost blocked her heart.

Surveillance day and night, the guilt of not trusting her father and the pain of causing Bai to disappear tormented her, making her complexion quickly haggard, even if the servants were dragged to sleep, she was still like a frightened bird. Night Breeze could make her jump out of the chair.

Besides, it wasn't just Night Breeze she heard.

She heard a heavy footstep.It was a man's footsteps, and the soles of the boots made a heavy rattling sound because of the inlaid metal, exactly the kind of boots that noble men often wear.At this time, everyone in her family should be fast asleep. No servant would dare to wear such shoes to walk outside, and her father...

Why did her father go out in the middle of the night?

Mary's teeth chattered so softly that she had to stuff her fingers into her mouth to keep herself from making a sound.When the footsteps gradually faded down the stairs, she lifted a pair of high heels, put on a thick dark cloth towel, and pushed the door out in pajamas and pajamas. With the tall figure in the night, she walked out of the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Her father only took the housekeeper out, drove a car out to the backyard, and called a group of soldiers she didn't know on the way.She didn't dare to follow too closely, and couldn't keep up with the car with her bare feet. When she was anxious and at a loss, a black figure pierced through the night and came to her.

Just standing in front of this person can make her feel at ease.

Mary pressed her heart, and finally revealed the secret she had guarded for many days: "I'm worried that my father is related to the disappearance of Lord Elf. You must have a way to find them, right?"
