Age of Adepts

Chapter 708: Behind-the-scenes transactions

Views:

This is a eerie magic palace.

After the Tier 4 Lich threw Alice here, he left without hesitation.

Alice struggled to get up from the cold floor, tidied up her messy hair and clothes, and then leisurely began to look at the magic palace in front of her.

Seeing this magic hall for the first time, Alice's most intuitive feeling is... so big, so tall!

This place is obviously the bottom of the Jialan Continent, but this group of strange undeads insisted on opening up a huge cave here, and then built a tall and magnificent magic hall.

Alice stood in the center of the hall and looked around, and found that she couldn't see the surrounding walls with her own vision. Although this tall and empty space was shrouded in a thick darkness, it shouldn't be able to block or weaken Alice's vision.

Then the only possibility is that his location is more than a kilometer away from the edge of the hall.

Only in this case, the situation at hand is possible!

Alice looked up at the sky again, and the high dome gave her a feeling of remoteness and emptiness. A strange cold white light shone on her body, making her feel more lonely and cold.

Although everything here is so weird, Alice strolls leisurely inside without any surprises. Because, ever since Alice woke up here, she could feel a strange gaze betting on her, observing her silently from all angles.

Now she is like an ant locked in a small glass bottle by human beings, her future is unpredictable. And the other party was crouching over the mouth of the bottle, studying her with a different kind of visual observation.

"You should know what I asked you to do, right?"

Suddenly, an unusually grand and cold voice echoed in this huge hall.

It is difficult to tell the other party's gender from the voice.

Alice nodded slightly.

"Of course, you want me to divination the whereabouts of an item for you! If I can't even predict this, I'm afraid you won't waste time on me!"

"Hehe, the only advantage of dealing with you people who are favored by fate is that you don't need to talk so much nonsense." The grand voice continued: "Okay, now tell me your request! As long as you can give me a satisfactory answer, the divination I won't pay you a penny less..."

"I'm here for a scepter of prophecy..."

"The scepter of prophecy... Is this the one you're talking about?"

With the roar of the loud voice, a magic water mirror appeared in front of Alice, and inside the magic water mirror was a simple and crude huge dragon cave. The center of the Dragon Cave is thickly piled with glittering gold coins and all kinds of magic gems, weapons, armor and magic props.

And at the top of the pile of gold coins, a magical scepter shining with colorful light was inserted obliquely on it. Look at the style, look at the magic fluctuations, it is the prophecy scepter that Alice dreamed of!

Alice's pupils immediately burst out with an extremely intense luster of desire, and she exhausted all her strength to control her body from reaching forward to grab the phantom in the water mirror.

"Yes, my lord, what I need is this prophecy scepter!" Alice restrained all her expressions and concentrated on talking with the other party.

"No problem!" Hong Da said with a chuckle: "As long as you divination the whereabouts of an item for me, this scepter will be yours!"

so easy... so easy...

I spent all my manpower and material resources, and risked my life and death to come to this Faen plane to seek the prophecy scepter, so I can get it at my fingertips

Alice calmed down, and immediately sensed something was wrong.

Since the other party is willing to use a semi-divine artifact as a reward for divination, one can imagine the value of this item that requires divination. Alice knew very well that the cost of life for each divination was often directly proportional to the value of the divination items.

The more expensive the item, the more difficult the divination will be, and the more astonishing price she will have to pay!

Compared with the fortune-telling remuneration, another question worried Alice even more.

"My lord, what do you mean... as long as I provide you with enough details about the whereabouts of the items, you can let me and my companion leave with the scepter of prophecy?" Alice asked tentatively.

"Basically, that's what it means. But the only person I'm trading with is you, so after the prophecy is successful, you can leave with the prophecy scepter. As for the others... they are not included in this transaction!"

Alice's smile stagnated, and her expression became solemn again.

"My lord, they are my companions! I wish to take them away with me..."

"Hehe, little guy, don't make those unreasonable demands. We are just a fair deal this time! If you give me information, I will give you the scepter. You have no right to bargain with me at all!"

"grown ups… "

"Little guy, don't think you can use this to blackmail me! There are also many guys who have mastered prophecy in this world, and I can definitely send someone to capture them all. As for why I chose you? The only reason is you Your wizard status. You wizards have always been selfish, your minds are flexible when you do business, and you don’t have those disgusting rules and restrictions when negotiating transactions... So, little guy, don’t waste my patience!"

"My lord, what if I give up the scepter of prophecy as a reward?"

The grand voice was silent for a moment, and finally responded: "If you give up the scepter of prophecy, then you can take away your wizard companion. Moreover, I can also promise you another 'little' request..."

The corners of Alice's mouth curved slightly, and a regretful expression appeared on her face.

...

Three days later.

Greem, Alice, Uzza, Mary and the others left the scar of death smoothly and returned to the giant floating ship.

But as soon as she stepped on the giant floating ship, Alice passed out inexplicably, unconscious.

After the joint examination of several fate witches, a terrible conclusion was finally drawn, Alice's life was about to run out.

This trip to the ground seems to have consumed a lot of Alice's vitality, causing all the functions of her body to be on the verge of collapse. According to her current physical condition, Alice only has two months to live!

Before that, Alice's vitality could last at least forty years.

...

When Alice woke up again, it was already nightfall.

The giant floating ship floated slowly above the high clouds, and through the portholes, one could see pieces of broken clouds quickly sliding past the sides of the ship.

There were no lights in the cabin.

Only the moonlight from outside the window came in, vaguely illuminating the burly figure in front of the bed.

Greem's tough facial features had a strong sense of three-dimensionality, and the dim light cast deep shadows on his face. When Alice opened her eyes, what she saw were those bright pupils hidden in the shadows.

"You lost forty years of life!" Greem sighed faintly.

Alice's pale face was leaning on the white pillow, her face was even paler than the white cloth!

"Don't worry about me!" Alice forced a smile, and her silky and smooth long hair was now a silvery white: "At least I can live for a while, and this time is enough for us to do something!"

"Two months!" Greem replied decisively.

"Two months is a long time... don't you have confidence in me?"

Greem hesitated for a while, and finally asked suspiciously.

"Under the ground, after we were captured, what happened to you?"

Alice leaned on the pillow, and softly recounted the experience in the magic hall.

"So... what did that mysterious strongman ask you to divination for him?" Greem couldn't help asking curiously.

Alice tapped her forehead lightly with her finger, shook her head and smiled wryly, "After the divination was successful, that guy used magic to wash away part of my memory. So even I really can't remember what the divination is..."

"That damned guy actually moved your memory... Since he has such a great ability, why doesn't he learn divination by himself, instead he asks you, a little witch?" Greem muttered indignantly.

Alice smiled lightly.

"Maybe this has something to do with his original attributes! The power of destiny has always been more repellent to dark attribute energy, so... If his body is a high-level undead, then his luck value will always be locked in negative, any prophecy type His spells will also be insulated from him... "

"Hey, I know what you said. However, I still feel so angry that you have lost so many years of vitality in vain. I have grown up with you..."

"It's not really a company!" Alice said with a sneer, "Don't forget, that lord still agreed to a 'little' request of mine!"

"Oh? What did you ask for?"

"I asked him to send troops to harass the forest elves a little..."

Greem was speechless for a while.

After walking around the underground world, he was very aware of the horror of those undead.

If thousands of undead swarmed to the surface, the forest elves would be brought a disaster even more terrible than the plague of witches!

...

Scar of death.

The elves stationed near the scar of death are still sending teams down to search for the whereabouts of Lord Antolier.

But at the moment when they were busy, strange clouds of mist floated up strangely from the depths of the ground, enveloping Scar of Death and the surrounding magical forest.

And in the mist, there were bursts of hoarse howls and noisy and dense friction noises.

Following the night wind, a foul-smelling rotten smell filled the whole world.

Groups of zombie skeletons crawled out from the depths of the ground, and moved towards the nearby elf stronghold with staggering and slow steps. Behind them, large groups of white ghouls drilled out of the deep ditch, and rushed towards the nearest elf city under the command of some middle-level undead.

In their queue, you can even see flesh and blood stitch monsters, Dabo corpses, iron zombies, ghost ghosts, skeleton mages, corpse monsters and the like from time to time.

And all of them, without exception, have been given strict orders to slaughter all elves by the master behind them!

Therefore, their pupils are all blood red...
