What age is it, still in the traditional card making

"In the final analysis, you are nothing more than an ant. The one you should pray to is not me, but the Witch of Origin, because you are her chess piece. Since you are a chess piece, it proves that you have some value to Her."

The dwarf spoke the extremely cruel reality with cold words.

Just when Elena wanted to say something, she suddenly found that the other party showed a thoughtful expression, and the impatience on his face seemed to disappear.

I only heard Him muttering to himself:

"I thought Nixhos had already arrived, but it turned out to be just a young dragon that had a little bit of his aura on it? I was shocked."

A young dragon imbued with His aura?

For some reason, the moment they heard this, Elena and Janus unconsciously thought of the mysterious man they had seen some time ago.

The "He" mentioned by this being, could it be that he is referring to the Dragon Mother in heaven?

Is the baby dragon that can be contaminated with the breath of the Mother Dragon really just an ordinary pure-blooded baby dragon?

Janus felt that he might have misunderstood something during that conversation.

Among those three people, the one with the highest status is neither Kelly, the master of magic, nor Adas, who has the blood of the Holy Dragon of Apocalypse, but the pure-blooded young dragon standing behind them, who behaves mediocrely.

Perhaps because he realized that the person who came was not an acquaintance, the dwarf's expression became much more relaxed. At least he was not in a hurry to leave like before.

He glanced at Elena in front of him and said:

"You may not be able to pay the price to get rid of the curse, but you should at least know what you need to do as a chess piece, right?"

Elena, who had communicated with the Shadow Gate Demon many times, immediately understood what this person meant and immediately took out everything in the space ring just to seek an answer from this person.

The dwarf was very pleased with Elena's tactful behavior.

Now that I'm here, how can I only earn so little?

He put the things Elena gave him into the space ring, but he did not speak the answer out loud. Instead, he gave a signal with his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Janus immediately understood what this being meant. He lowered his voice and said to Elena:

"It seems that's not enough."

At this time, Elena had already taken out everything in the warehouse. There were not many gold coins left in the entire Duke's Mansion. Where should she go to find something that could satisfy the person in front of her?

Fortunately, she was quite smart. She only thought for a moment and then reacted immediately.

Although the Duke's Mansion is poor, she is the ruler of the entire duchy.

In order to get rid of the curse, she gritted her teeth and said to the being in front of her:

"If there is anything you need in the Principality of Westria, feel free to take it, whether it's minerals or precious trees, all you have to do is name a suitable price."

After hearing this, the dwarf showed a satisfied smile and casually threw out a piece of parchment.

Elena took the parchment and took a look at it. Her face suddenly turned pale.

This being's appetite was much greater than she had imagined.

Seeing Elena's hesitation, the dwarf comforted her considerately:

"Don't worry. After signing the contract, this will be mine. Think about it, if something really happens and someone wants to take away my personal property, will I just ignore it?"

This is true, but Elena still feels a little painful.

After pondering for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and signed the contract.

On the other side, Ye Qiong and others had already arrived outside the castle.

The surrounding environment was quite quiet and no sound was heard from inside.

Seeing this, Kelly took out a bottle of potion from her space ring, and then said to Ye Qiong and Edas:

"This is the result of my research. After drinking it, you can temporarily gain the blood ability of the Shadow Gate Demon."

Ye Qiong was a little surprised when he heard this.

It's been less than a week and there are already results? It seems that Kelly's talent in scientific research is much higher than he thought.

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?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"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:

"That's right. Little Elena has become a powerful duke now. How dare I offend you?"

Although Kelly's tone of voice was sincere, her words were a little too sarcastic.

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 was not loud, but in a place where you could hear a pin drop, it was useless for her to lower her voice. Now the whole dungeon was echoing with her voice. (End of this chapter)
