What age is it, still in the traditional card making

"I will share the results of my research on the Shadow Gate Demon's bloodline talent with you for free."

Kelly slowly told her the reward for the second thing.

Elena frowned slightly, looking not particularly satisfied with the reward. She shook her head and replied:

"What if there is no result? Then wouldn't I have helped you in vain? Many people have wanted to obtain the blood talent of the Shadow Gate Demon, but they all failed."

"That's because Shadow Gate Demons are good at escaping, and these researchers can usually only have brief contact with them."

"As long as you are in contact with the Shadow Gate Demons for a long time, you will be able to study their bloodline talents?"

“Not necessarily, but I’ll try my best.”

Elena chuckled and replied:

"After all, you're still not completely sure."

"Trading is risky, and the risk is not that high for you."

"How do you know this deal is risk-free for me? Do you really think I have completely controlled those Shadow Gate demons?"

"Isn't it?"

Elena lowered her head and thought for a while, but did not answer immediately.

After about a minute, she finally nodded slightly and replied:

"Okay, I'll make this deal. I can let you interact with the Shadow Gate Demons for a while. Whether you can get what you want from them depends entirely on your own ability."

After saying that, he stood up and looked at Kelly and the others:

"Why? Do you have anything else to do?"

Kelly also didn't expect that Elena would be so decisive in doing things. She just verbally agreed on the cooperation in the last second, and took the partner to the scene in the next second.

Even this experienced witch couldn't help but feel a little hesitant at this moment:

"Well, aren't we going to sign a contract or something?"

"Do you need it?"

Elena glanced at Kelly coldly, and then continued:

"This is Riverbend City, the center of the Principality of Westeria. Do you think I can really escape from here if I deceive you?"

When Kelly heard this, she wanted to rebel and say "maybe not".

But considering that she still had to cooperate with the other party, she chose to give Elena this face.

She nodded slightly in agreement and replied:

Elena had thought that after going through so many hardships, nothing would be able to cause her psychological fluctuations.

But within five minutes of meeting Kelly, she had already clenched her fists twice.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, then walked straight towards the door without even looking at Kelly.

Seeing this, Kelly and others stood up and followed.

The journey was quite silent, but fortunately the journey was not very long. It took less than ten minutes to reach the destination.

At this time, what appeared in front of Ye Qiong and others was a staircase leading to the dungeon.

Elena walked silently at the front of the team and led the way.

After seeing this scene, Kelly in the back couldn't help but whisper to Ye Qiong;

"Oh my god, these Shadow Gate demons are really locked up."

As she spoke, she looked around and found traces of magic flowing on the surrounding walls. It seemed that this was the special formation that imprisoned the Shadow Gate Demon.

After seeing this scene, Kelly looked confused and surprised.

It's not like no one has thought of imprisoning the Shadow Gate Demon by means of space blockade, but they all failed without exception.

Because in a sense, the Shadow Gate Demons did not cast space magic, but an extremely special shadow magic. Space blockade has no effect on them at all. It is for this reason that unless one has the strength to directly crush this group of Shadow Gate Demons, few people can imprison the Shadow Gate Demons.

The last person who managed to imprison the Shadow Gate Demon was a demigod-level strongman from a large demon country.

At the moment, there is one more strong man who is capable of imprisoning the Shadow Gate Demon.

Has Elena become a demigod-level powerhouse?

According to Kelly's observation, her strength is about the Saint Realm, not too high nor too low. Judging from her current strength, it is basically impossible to imprison the Shadow Gate Demon with absolute strength.

Then the reason can only be the formations arranged around the dungeon.

Ye Qiong and the others walked down for two or three minutes and soon arrived at the dungeon.

As soon as they arrived here, they heard a whistling sound of wind.

No,

This is a dungeon, how could there be any sound of wind?

This sound is more like the breathing of some creature than the sound of wind.

Ye Qiong looked around and saw dark shadows lurking around the dungeon, staring at them with flashing scarlet eyes.

In his original conception, the Shadow Gate Demons should be a short and cunning race like demons and imps, which would be consistent with their style of doing things.

But after facing the Shadow Gate Demons directly, he found that the image of these guys was completely different from what he had imagined. Each of them was extremely tall, and each Shadow Gate Demon was equipped with a special cell to guard it. Their bodies almost covered the entire cell.

After noticing the surprise in Ye Qiong's eyes, Kelly lowered her voice and explained:

"The bodies of Shadow Gate Demons are not fixed. They will change with the environment. Living in such a gloomy and dark place, their bodies will continue to expand. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a window here that can be opened and closed at any time. When their bodies expand to the point where the cell can no longer be closed, they will open this window and shrink their bodies."

Kelly's voice wasn't very loud, but in a place like this where you could hear a pin drop, it was of no use for her to lower her voice. Now the entire dungeon was echoing with her voice.

Elena turned her head and looked at them. After glancing at Kelly, she finally fixed her gaze on Ye Qiong:

"In the registration list, you said you would bring two attendants with you. Kelly, you are very polite to your attendant. When you see that he has doubts, you will go out of your way to help answer them."

Hearing Elena's slightly questioning tone, Kelly acted quite calmly and replied confidently:

"You know that our revolutionary army advocates freedom and equality."

"Freedom and equality"

Elena just left this sentence and continued walking forward.

Seeing this, Kelly quickly ran up to Elena and asked:

"Hasn't we already found the Shadow Gate Demon? Where else are you taking us?"

Elena did not directly answer Kelly's question, but asked in return:

"Do you want to talk to a Shadow Gate Demon that you can communicate with, or a Shadow Gate Demon that is hostile to you?"

"Needless to ask? Of course it's the former. But now that you've locked them up, are there really any Shadow Gate demons willing to communicate with you?"

"Of course I have. Don't you think about how I captured so many Shadow Gate Demons?"

Hearing this, Kelly suddenly understood.

"You mean there's a ghost helping you?"

“He’s the prison guard here.”

Coincidentally, when Ye Qiong and others said this, they had already reached the deepest part of the cell.

At this moment, there was a Shadow Gate Demon perched on the wall in front of him. Under the light, his body looked extremely tall, almost covering the entire wall.

Unlike the treatment of other Shadow Gate Demons, there are no iron bars imprisoning him here. There is a table in front of him filled with many exquisite foods. It seems that he is treated quite well in this cell.

After seeing Elena and Ye Qiong and others following behind her, the Shadow Gate Demon acted quite calmly. He showed a slightly sinister smile and then spoke;

"Your Excellency the Duke, are you looking for business with me again?"

Elena just shook her head when she heard this, and then replied:

"I'm not the one looking for you to do business with. They want to find you."

As he said this, he looked at Kelly, as if to say that it was her turn to perform next.

"Oh, it's rare for a witch to come to me to make a deal."

Staring at Kelly with scarlet eyes, the Shadow Gate Demon spoke again:

"Tell me your purpose. A demon, a half-dragon, and a pure-blooded dragon. Your combination is really a strange one. It was already quite strange three years ago, and it is even stranger now. The Dragon War has been going on for so long. How did you get together?"

When Elena heard this, she acted calmly, as if she had expected it. She didn't say anything more, as if she hadn't heard anything just now.

Kelly was the one in charge of the negotiations this time, so she was the only one who could speak.

Facing the Shadow Gate Demon's temptation, Kelly just replied coldly:

"These things should have little to do with our transaction, right?"

"No, no, no, of course it is related. We, the Shadow Gate Demons, are also members of the Demon Realm after all. How can we do business with the Dragon Clan?"

"You're going to refuse?"

"No, I mean it's going to cost more."

When Kelly heard this, she was so angry that she laughed. They had just arrived here and hadn't even told each other the content of the transaction, but this damn Shadow Gate Demon was planning to increase the money?

The greed of this clan is really deeply engraved in the depths of their souls. Suffering a loss in business is more painful than killing them. No wonder there are basically very few demons in the entire demon world who are friendly to the Shadow Gate Demons. After all, who would like to do business with such a greedy race?

"Before that, how about we talk about the content of the deal?"

"Of course you can, young witch. You may call me Janus."

Janus?

Hearing this name, Kelly recalled in her mind,

If she remembered correctly, this should be the real name of the demon god worshipped by the Shadow Gate Demon Clan.

The guy in front of me is really conceited. He even gave himself the name of his ancestor.

"Kelly Monch, that's my name."

"Kelly? The leader of the revolutionary army, the witch who was the last human to venture into the astral world?"

After hearing Kelly's name, Janus' facial expression changed obviously, his tone became excited, and his scarlet eyes were flashing, as if he wanted to confirm whether the witch in front of him was the one he knew.

Kelly was a little surprised by Janus's reaction.

It was normal for this guy to know her identity as the leader of the revolutionary army, but very few people knew about the second half of the incident.

Apart from Edas, basically only the Star Realm, the few gods who are still alive in the Demon Realm, and the few natural disasters who participated in the war know about it.

Where did Janus get this information?

Kelly's expression became a little solemn, and she asked Janus in a deep voice:

"How did you know this?"

"It's not important, Ms. Kelly. Can you tell me about your experience? Also, I want to know if you still have anything about that human? If so, I, Janus, am willing to trade everything I have with you."

Elena's expression changed slightly at this moment.

The development of things seemed to be beyond her expectations.

She knew that Kelly was the leader of the revolutionary army, but what novel was this about her going on an adventure with the last human to the astral world? How come she had never heard of any relevant information?

There is no doubt that if there are still humans alive in the world, the news would have spread throughout the entire demon world immediately. How could it be possible that not even a whisper of it was heard?

So Janus lied?

Not really.

Looking at the way these two people spoke with certainty, it doesn't seem like they are lying at all.

Is it possible that there are still humans alive in this world?

Almost instantly, Elena became interested in the last human being mentioned by Janus.

The direction of the normal conversation also changed with a simple exchange of names.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I don't have anything related to humans. If you want to find a human, there is one in front of you."

"Ms. Kelly, you are joking again."

"I'm not kidding. Before I became a witch, wasn't I just a human?"

After saying this, Kelly immediately ended the topic and then told the content of this transaction:

"Okay, let's get back to the point. The main reason I came here this time is to get the blood of the Shadow Gate Demon."

"Human hair or blood."

"Let's not talk about whether I have these things in my hands for now. Janus, do you think the content of this transaction is equal? ​​You are just a shadow demon, and you want to be on par with noble humans?"

"Sorry, this is my personal way of doing business. I like to ask for a high price when comparing prices and pay on the spot. Just take it as a casual remark."

After the interruption just now, Kelly almost forgot that the guy in front of her was a Shadow Gate Demon. After a brief silence, she replied coldly:

"Tell me a sincere price. Five hundred gold coins. Should that be enough to buy your blood?"

"That's enough. It's more than enough. Those high-level demons only sell their blood for two or three hundred gold coins. The fact that my Shadow Gate demon clan can sell for five hundred is totally a premium. Ms. Kelly, I already believe in your sincerity, but..."

"only?"

"I still hope to get some human hair or blood."

Kelly couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she heard this:

"Didn't I tell you already? This transaction is not equal at all."

"Of course I know it's not equal, so how about I increase the price and give you an additional mysterious summoning ceremony?"

"Summoning ritual?"

"With your experience, Ms. Kelly, you should have heard the story of our Shadow Gate Demon Clan. We summoned a mysterious being through this ritual, and the ability of our Shadow Gate Demon Clan was acquired from this being."

Janus's increase this time was indeed quite sincere, and he even mentioned the foundation of their clan.

But is the foundation of their tribe still worth this price? Is this price really commensurate with what Kelly needs to pay?

Janus was also quite smart. He keenly noticed Kelly's hesitation and continued to add to his argument:

"Elena doesn't know about this ceremony, and I have never told her. After all, this is the most important thing for us, the Shadow Gate Demon Clan."

Kelly glanced at Elena beside her, and after seeing her nod, she answered:

"No, I still can't make this deal with you."

"The price is not right?"

"It's not because of this reason. The reason why I can't make this deal with you is very simple. I don't have what you want right now."

"Ms. Kelly, do you really think I'm easy to fool? With your research-crazy personality, if you meet the last human on Planet Tucker, would you really not think of leaving some blood or hair for research?"

What Janus said was indeed correct. She was indeed very interested in the last human being, and she did secretly collect a lot of Ye Qiong's blood.

but,

After the war was over, after everything had calmed down,

She suddenly discovered that the blood she had hidden had mysteriously disappeared, and Ye Qiong's human race had completely disappeared from this world.

Nothing remained of Kelly except the memory of that adventure.

Therefore, Kelly's refusal was not because she wanted to wait for a better price, but simply because she did not have that thing in her hands.

Janus stared at Kelly with his scarlet eyes. When he saw that her expression didn't change at all, he seemed to confirm something and spoke in a slightly disappointed tone:

"It looks like you really didn't keep anything."

After saying this, he looked at Edas who was standing beside him, and then said:

"This person must be Ms. Eddas. I have also heard your story."

Since this guy already knew that thing, it's not surprising that he could see through Edas's identity.

Elena on the side didn't seem surprised by this.

In her impression, the only half-dragon who could stand so calmly beside Kelly was the one named Edas. From the very beginning, she never believed that the two guys following Kelly were just ordinary servants.

After Janus finished speaking, his gaze shifted and fixed on Ye Qiong:

"What about you? Is this Lord Blue Dragon the new friend of Ms. Kelly?"

Kelly heard this and interrupted Janus coldly:

"Are you checking the household registration here? Is this how you, the Shadow Clan, do business? You ask questions about everyone who comes to do business. Do you only do business with people with clean backgrounds?

This is strange, I have never heard that your Shadow Gate Demon Clan is such a disciplined race?"

Hearing Kelly's slightly sarcastic words, Janus did not feel embarrassed at all. He bowed and saluted, then said:

"I'm sorry. I was presumptuous."

"Let's get back to the point. I don't have anything related to humans. Tell me what you want, Janus. You probably misunderstood me. To me, the blood of your Shadow Gate Demons is actually not important.

I came here purely on a whim.

I just happened to hear that Elena captured a group of Shadow Gate Demons, and then she became interested and wanted to study your bloodline talents.

It doesn’t matter to me whether I do this or not. It’s just one of hundreds of subjects I have and I can give up at any time.”

Kelly was too lazy to test the bottom line with Janus. If he tried to pull her back again, she would turn around and leave the dungeon without hesitation.

She didn't lie, whether or not to complete the project was really not important to her.

Janus looked at Kelly deeply, then smiled with ease, as if the conflict just now had never happened:

"We just want some of our blood. Feel free to take it."

After saying this, some black liquid began to flow out of the wall, and then a hand stretched out from the dark shadow and put the liquid into a glass bottle.

He handed over the glass bottle filled with Shadowgate blood, but Kelly didn't take it. She looked at Janus as if he was an idiot.

"Don't you think I've never heard of the deeds of you Shadow Gate Demons?"

It is well known that Shadow Gate Demon's things are hard to get.

You have to be extremely careful when doing business with them, otherwise who knows if these guys will suddenly come to your door to collect debts.

When Janus heard this, he was surprised, and then he quickly realized why the other party said that.

That's right, the Shadow Gate Demon Clan has such a bad reputation. No one would believe that someone gave a bottle of blood to a friend for no reason.

He laughed at himself, and then said:

"In that case, how about five hundred gold coins according to the original price?"

The conversation went around in circles and came back to plan one.

Kelly was speechless at this moment. She was like a helpless Party B.

After working on plan 1, plan 2, and plan 3 for most of the day, Party A finally chose plan 1 and said to him:

“The original one was good.”

Fortunately, Kelly has a relatively good temper, otherwise she would have really slapped this guy in the face.

She reached into her space ring, and then her expression suddenly became awkward.

As Kelly's long-time friend, Edas immediately realized why this guy suddenly showed such an expression.

After sighing lightly, he took out five hundred gold coins from his space ring.

Less than three seconds after the gold coin hit the ground, it was swept away by a black shadow. Janus' voice came over:

"So the transaction is complete, right?"

"kindness."

Kelly nodded slightly. She was no longer interested in communicating with this guy. She turned around and prepared to leave.

Janus saw this and quickly called her:

"Wait a minute, Ms. Kelly."

Kelly paused and gave Janus a cold look.

"Anything else?"

"I wonder if you are interested in the summoning ritual of my tribe?"

"If your conditions still involve something related to humans, then I can't give them to you."

"Of course not. I want you to write down your experience of that adventure for me."

Kelly frowned when she heard this and asked back:

"Don't you already know everything? Do you still want me to write about that experience for you?"

“Different people see things differently.”

"Then I'm a little curious, from whose perspective was the story you heard?"

“That involves other transactions, if you want to know.”

Kelly found that chatting with this Shadow Gate Demon was extremely annoying. He would always bring up the topic of trading.

It seems like this guy really can't afford to suffer any loss. He has to put a price on everything. With this kind of businessman behavior, it's no wonder that few people choose to make friends with the Shadow Gate Demon Clan.

She shook her head and said without hesitation:

"Forget it. As for the deal you just mentioned, I need to go back and discuss it with my partner."

After saying this, he took the initiative to turn around and leave.

Seeing this, Ye Qiong and others chose to follow.

Elena glanced at Janus, as if she had some questions to ask him, but after a brief hesitation, she finally chose to follow Kelly.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Soon, the group of four left the dungeon and returned to the reception room.

Elena sat in the main seat. Before she could speak, Kelly spoke first:

"I think you have a lot to say to me. Coincidentally, I also have a lot of questions to ask. How about we exchange questions and ask each other a question?"

Elena nodded slightly in agreement.

"Let me go first. You don't owe that guy anything, do you?"

"No, there should be a third reason why you came here?"

"We are here for war. Do you wish to obtain the book and the summoning ritual?"

"Think about it. What exactly does that experience refer to?"

"I can't comment on this. It involves some big shots, and I don't know where Janus heard it from."

Then they asked each other some questions and ended the conversation.

Before they knew it, it was already dusk. Ye Qiong and the others felt that it was almost time to leave. After saying goodbye to Elena, they left the castle.

After returning to the hotel,

The three of them began to share their own thoughts on the conversation.

Kelly was the first to speak after thinking for a while.

“Since Elena doesn’t owe that Shadow Gate Demon anything, it proves that their relationship should be equal for now. However, the book that controls the wealthy families in River Bay City is still in Janus’ hands, and Elena has not received the summoning ritual from that Shadow Gate Demon.

Janus should be in charge of the summoning ceremony in Riverbend City now."

Edas spoke out his thoughts:

"So are we going to exchange? Exchange the summoning ritual?"

Ye Qiong shook his head and denied this statement:

"No, don't forget why we came here. We don't need to use the summoning ritual to summon the special being mentioned by the Shadow Gate Demon.

From the beginning to the end, we did not need to trade with that existence. All we wanted was to confirm whether this person was the "Seed of War".

There are actually many ways to achieve this goal. The simplest way is to wait for Elena and the others to complete the ritual, and then we can go and take a look to see what they have summoned."

Kelly raised her objection when she heard this:

“What if what they summoned is really the Seed of War? Once they really summon this thing, can we really defeat it?”

"Then we need to confirm it in advance."

"How do I confirm that?"

"See if the sacrifices they prepared are related to war."

In fact, there is a simpler way for them to find out who is summoned by this summoning ritual. They just need to let Kelly write down the adventure experience and make a deal with Janus.

However, due to their natural distrust of the Shadow Gate Demons, they did not want to continue trading with Janus.

After a brief exchange, they decided on the general direction, and their main focus of investigation next was the ritual offerings.

A week later,

During this period, Elena did fulfill her promise and kept looking for witches to trade with.

Because star power has no effect on witches, except for being curious about what Kelly wants to do with star power, the whole transaction went very smoothly.

During this week, Ye Qiong has filled one third of the dragon vein, which can be said to be a fruitful harvest.

Besides that, Kelly's progress was also quite smooth.

She found the offerings for this summoning ceremony, which were a pile of gold, silver, jewelry, and many special artifacts with special powers.

These things obviously have nothing to do with war. If you insist, they are actually somewhat related.

War always requires logistics. If you want to summon the seeds of war, isn't it normal to prepare the logistics? However, isn't it a bit too abrupt to link sacrifices with the seeds of war in this way?

No matter how you look at it,

These sacrifices do not seem to be summoning seeds of war, but rather like summoning a greedy dragon.

After learning about these sacrifices, Ye Qiong and others were not in a hurry to disrupt the ceremony.

Because they speculated that this ritual was probably not used to summon the seeds of war, but to summon a "merchant" who could communicate.

What Elena and the others are preparing now is actually the funds for the transaction, and they want to exchange something from this existence.

After realizing this, Kelly couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

At this moment, she was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, her face full of disappointment:

"What? After all this time, Elena and the others have no intention of summoning the Seed of War."

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Qiong who was standing beside him, and then asked:

"What should we do? Should we go to the nearby Thranduil Kingdom?"

Ye Qiong shook his head and chose to refuse:

"Since we are here, let's stay and see what they summon."

"That's right. There are quite a lot of witches coming to River Bay City recently. It won't be too late for us to absorb the star power first and then leave. By then, the ceremony should be almost ready."

What was somewhat unexpected to Ye Qiong and the others was that the preparations for this ceremony were much faster than they had imagined.

Deep in the dungeon, Elena found Janus and said in a deep voice:

"I heard that the ceremony can begin now?"

Janus smiled grimly.

Elena gave this guy a cold look:

"Stop that disgusting laugh of yours, you traitor to your race."

Janus didn't care about Elena's ridicule at all, and replied indifferently:

"It's not that I betrayed the clan, but that the clan betrayed me. It is precisely because they completely disregard the rules that all the demons in the demon world naturally distrust the Shadow Gate Demons."

"You don't think you can change the reputation of the Shadow Gate Demons?"

"We've already reached the bottom. It can't be any worse than it is now, right?"

"The bottom?"

Elena smiled sarcastically, and then continued:

"Your reputation as Shadow Gate Demons has not simply fallen to the bottom. You have reached the bottom and then drilled three hundred kilometers underground."

This cold sarcasm made Janus smile bitterly even though he had a good attitude.

"Your Excellency the Duke, your tongue is still as poisonous as ever. How about we get back to the point?"

"Can we begin the ceremony?"

"Of course. I hope Your Excellency the Duke still remembers the contents of our contract."

"As long as you don't break your promise, I won't do anything unnecessary. Now that the ceremony is ready, let's get started."

"As you command, Your Excellency the Duke."

After saying this, the Shadow Gate Demon in the dungeon seemed to have sensed something and let out a sharp scream.

Elena frowned as she watched this scene, and said in confusion:

"The summoning ritual didn't mention that you had to sacrifice your people, did it?"

"After we got the book, we misunderstood the meaning of that being and went astray. This is the punishment we deserve."

"It sounds to me like it's because you simply don't like your own people."

"Your Excellency the Duke is joking again. If that being was able to attract us, then he must have some interest in our bloodline. I am just trying to please him."

"To cater to his interests? Then why don't you have any dedication at all?"

Janus smiled and replied:

"If the time comes when I really need to sacrifice myself, I will definitely not refuse."

"Really? I don't believe it."

Janus did not reply, but just quietly did his own thing.

He seemed to have performed many rituals before, and soon the pure blue magic patterns spread throughout the dungeon.

The aura of the Shadow Gate Demon has disappeared.

Next,

These magic lines connected together to form a huge summoning array.

The magic power contained in the magic circle is quite huge.

Elena frowned and looked around, then casually cast a spell to conceal the magical aura.

Although her approach can effectively prevent ordinary demons from noticing the abnormality here, for some powerful people who are extremely sensitive to magic, the magical aura here is too conspicuous. Even if they don't deliberately sense it, they can clearly perceive the huge magical fluctuations.

Inside the hotel,

Ye Qiong, who was about to lie down to rest, suddenly stood up and looked towards the window:

"What is that location? Elena's castle? Has the ceremony already begun?"

He got out of bed and quickly came to Aidas and Kelly's room. After knocking on the door, a response came from inside:

"Who is it, why are you awake so late at night?"

"It's me. The ritual may have already begun."

After hearing this, there was silence in the room for a long time, about one to two minutes later.

Kelly quickly opened the door:

"Are you sure? Has it really started?"

Ye Qiong rolled his eyes at this reckless guy and whispered:

"Why are you yelling so loudly? Aren't you afraid that others will hear you?"

At this time, Adas had also stood up. She said to the two people in front of her with full mobility:

"Do you want to go to the castle and see what's going on?"

The two nodded at the same time, then left the hotel and walked towards the castle.

On the other side,

Soon after they set out,

The ceremony in the dungeon has officially started, and the gold, silver and jewels placed above are disappearing.

Janus had already left the city wall and was kneeling before the summoning ceremony with a pious look on his face, muttering something, apparently praising the mysterious being.

He was able to act so pious because as a member of the Shadow Gate Demon Clan, he had heard many things about that existence, so he naturally respected this existence very much.

But Elena had always been skeptical about that existence. She was indeed very curious about it, but its behavior always reminded her of the legendary evil gods from outside the world.

So she didn't have much respect for this person.

At the moment, unlike the devout Janus, she acted quite out of place, leaning against the wall and watching the summoning ceremony coldly.

If anything unexpected really happened, she would abandon Janus and run away immediately.

The summoning array flashed with brilliant light, and within a moment,

They could feel a strong aura coming from the summoning array.

It seems that the being has really arrived.

His aura was extremely oppressive. Although he did not intentionally spread his aura, it inexplicably made everyone present tremble.

Soon, a white figure appeared above the magic circle.

Janus and Elena immediately looked at the white figure.

For some reason, they always felt that this figure was much smaller than they had imagined.

He was only about 1.4 meters tall, and looked like neither a human nor a demon, but more like a dwarf.

A white figure began to condense and take shape, and His face gradually became emotional.

Elena saw the other person's appearance clearly, and it was similar to what she had guessed.

The summoned being was actually a dwarf.

He seemed somewhat reluctant to be summoned this time. After receiving so many sacrifices, he still stared at Janus with cold eyes, and then spoke:

"You are the one who summoned me here?"

After hearing this question, Janus subconsciously looked at the other party.

A short man with dark purple skin appeared in front of him. He wore a gold-rimmed monocle on his right eye and was dressed in a well-fitting suit. He looked like a very shrewd businessman.

This image is similar to what their Shadow Clan Demon ancestors recorded.

It is precisely because they have traded with this being that their Shadow Gate Demon Clan subconsciously continues to imitate the appearance of this being.

After hearing the other party's question, Janus lowered his head humbly, and then answered:

"Respected Gate God, it was indeed me who summoned you here."

After hearing this, the dwarf showed a hint of doubt on his face:

"Door God? When did I become a door god? Never mind. I'll just tell you the content of the deal. I really can't stay in this damn place for even a second. If those guys catch me here, I'll definitely be blackmailed."

blackmail?

As if he heard some extraordinary words, Janus raised his head again and looked at this mysterious being.

Why is this person's image different from what he imagined?

He took a deep breath and forced himself not to think about unnecessary things. The most important thing for him now was to complete the transaction.

"Respected Gate God, I summoned you here this time in the hope of obtaining from you the tools to restrict the Shadow Gate Demon Clan."

"I do have this thing, but the question is, what price can you offer me for it?"

“This will certainly not disappoint you.”

After that, many precious props appeared in front of Janus.

The mysterious dwarf just glanced at these things roughly, and then picked up the things on the ground:

"Although it's a bit of a compromise, it's still acceptable. I'll take this deal."

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Janus always felt that the other party seemed a little impatient, as if he had sensed some danger and wanted to finish the deal quickly and end the summoning ceremony.

Janus didn't know, and didn't dare to ask. He could only lower his head and wait for the other party to give him what he needed.

Fortunately, this person was quite trustworthy. After putting away Janus's things, he threw a six-sided dice in front of Janus.

Seeing this, Janus looked a little puzzled and asked:

"Mr. Gate God? This is..."

The dwarf was quite impatient with Janus' question. He waved his hand and replied unhappily:

"Go and study it yourself. I have something else to do here, so I'll leave first."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Gate God, I also want to make a deal with you."

If it were normal times, the dwarf would have hoped to make this deal. After all, since he had come here, he would definitely make enough money before going back.

But right now, He really doesn't want to stay here any longer.

The first moment he landed here, he realized what kind of hell place he had come to.

Takstar,

The two guys who rule the heavens are Nickhos and Luge.

The one who rules the demon world is Cornelia and fate.

The four natural disasters are in charge of this planet. Even if he is very brave, he dare not cause trouble on this planet.

What's more, there is a war here now.

What if a natural disaster discovered that he had come here, and what if he misunderstood it as wanting to help a certain camp?

He doesn't want to get involved in this mess at all, and he just wants to run away as soon as the transaction is completed.

Therefore, facing Elena's request, He chose to refuse without even thinking:

"Maybe next time. I'm not interested in doing business right now."

"Are you afraid?"

The dwarf was somewhat surprised by the unexpected provocation.

These two guys, don't they really think that "He" has a good temper? Do they know what will happen if they provoke a natural disaster?

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the one who had just issued the challenge was a demon woman wearing a purple dress.

Demon clan?

Not really.

This guy seems to be transforming into a witch.

After realizing this, the dwarf quickly showed a look of enlightenment.

No wonder this guy is not afraid of death at all. It turns out that he has become a pawn of the Origin Witch, so he is eager to make a deal with me and escape the fate set by the Origin Witch.

"You want me to help you stop your transformation into a witch?"

When Elena heard this, she was overjoyed.

Originally, she had no hope for this. After all, the one who cursed her was a calamity-level being, one of the rulers of the demon world. But now, the other party's answer gave her a little hope.

One glance is enough to tell her predicament, so maybe this person really has the ability to help her out of this situation?

"I can do it, but you can't afford the price. What do you think you can pay for me to provoke a natural disaster? To destroy the plan of a natural disaster?"

"As long as you can help me remove the curse, I'll do anything!"

"I'm willing to do anything? Do you know what this means? It means I want you to take my soul, everything from you, and you can't refuse.

After I help you remove the curse, I will control your body, mind and soul, making you completely my slave and working for me for tens of thousands of years. But even so, even to this extent, it is not enough to cause a conflict between me and the Witch of Origin.

Maybe you have a very distinguished position in this country, but in my opinion, your position is not worth mentioning at all." (End of this chapter)
