"I need your blood essence..."
Roy stared at the sick face and said word by word, "You came from another world, your blood essence naturally has the atmosphere of your hometown, and there is an unbreakable connection with that planet, which is equivalent to space coordinates. ."
The Shadow Elder fell into silence, his thin body still, as desolate as a severe winter.
Regis, who was relieved, was shocked by the content of the conversation between the two, his cheeks turned pale, and his expression was horrified.
A witcher who actually asked the Elder Shadow for blood essence and sent it home
This sounds like a horror story.
"If you add the gate of the worlds in this underworld, then I will be 90% sure to send you home."
Roy continued, the shadow elder raised eyebrows that did not exist,
"You...know that door?"
"Of course, it is a passage that connects the world where you were born and this world, but unfortunately it was completely closed after the celestial sphere rendezvous. But I can restart it and use it as a starting point to 'jump', and it is easier to reach your hometown. "
The so-called "Gate of All Realms" is an ancient and mysterious teleportation device, which can stimulate the ability of the ancient blood to the greatest extent and increase the scale and duration of teleportation.
As far as Roy knows, in the world of Wild Hunt, there is also a "gate to all worlds". . After the Wild Hunt gradually lost the power to travel the world, they could only let the "navigator" who had some ancient blood to open the door, transform the compatriots who passed through the door into ghost form, and continue to travel between planes and plunder other worlds.
"Your Excellency, as you can see, my plan is here."
Roy's explanation ended here, and there was a long silence in the stone hall.
The shadow elder showed a thoughtful expression on his face, and pieces of black smoke danced around it like a crow.
"what would you like?"
Finally, the hoarse voice sounded, and its black and yellow eyes flickered, as if warning the witcher not to open the lion's mouth.
"I am a person who always pays attention to fairness..." Roy's mouth curved slightly. At this point, his plan has been successful for the most part, but he has not let up his last breath. The second half is the key to victory. "I help There is a huge price to pay for your return to your hometown... So I also have some small requests. First of all, regardless of success or failure, the matter of Grufid is over. Your Excellency, please stop holding me and my companions responsible for the deaths of clan members. "
Elderly default.
"Secondly... If I succeed in finding your way back home. Then I hope—" Roy turned around and grinned at Regis, who was listening, "you and all the high-ranking vampires in the clan you are commanding now. Work for me for fifty years, well, just fifty years."
fifty years—
These words were loud and resounding, and they echoed repeatedly in the hall where the fire was swaying.
The shadow elder froze in place with his eyes dazed.
Regis opened his mouth slightly, goosebumps on his pale skin from the trembling.
How arrogant, witcher, to treat the elders as slaves and humiliate them face to face!
"Me and my countrymen?"
"Following you... a witcher?"
"Fifty years?"
The dense folds spread on the face of the shadow elder, its mouth suddenly grew, and the fishy wind blowing between the teeth almost swallowed Roy into slag.
"Damn you!"
The two arms that were divided into several pieces ripped apart the gray-white skin on the back of the elder, and the film covered with black fluff quickly formed on the newly born arm, turning into two huge bat wings in the blink of an eye.
Huhu—
Bat wings fanned, billowing black smoke rose into the sky, and rolled in all directions like a storm, covering the entire hall!
"Are you trying it out?"
The crimson lava Quinn covered the witcher's body. He reached out and grabbed Gabriel from the void, marking the Shadow Elder without hesitation.
Dreamy gem dust covered the body that was undergoing drastic changes.
"die!"
The Shadow Elder opened his bloody mouth and screamed in anger!
Boom!
Earthshaking!
The gravel splashed and the dust cloud filled!
Regis covered his ears in pain in this scream, and the seven orifices bleed into a bat swarm and flew to the exit.
The sound wave turned into a chest hammer, shattering the witcher's shield, and the huge force knocked him flying.
He raised his head when he landed with blood on the corner of his mouth.
The flames and light suddenly went out, and the surrounding environment became darker than the abyss.
The Shadow Elder did not attack directly, but hovered like electricity in this dark dome.
Like a falcon overlooking its prey from above.
The attached gem dust left behind bat-shaped afterimages of changing colors in the air.
shhh-
The bowstring hummed.
The crossbow bolts formed a silver thread in mid-air, but even the shadow of the elder could not be touched!
It's as fast as it's flickering.
Roy can't be locked, and he can't be deterred.
what!
The second horrific roar.
The dense blood-colored vortex appeared in the air, and a terrifying siphon power erupted.
Roy's body was shocked, and the blood in his body suddenly lost control, turning into countless sharp steel needles, piercing the skin from the inside, frantically drilling out the armor and squeezing the magic shield.
Moths rushed to the vortex like a flame.
From a distance, it was as if countless chains made of blood stretched out from the void, locking Roy.
Make him hard to move.
Power flows quickly with blood.
finally!
The wind blows!
The huge bat shadow rushed down towards the weak witcher!
Roy looked up to meet it.
A golden light radiated from the whole body, which briefly suppressed the terrible suction that devoured blood, and he raised Arundette above his head with both hands...
The sea of blood was rippling, the scarlet octopus climbed on his shoulders and waved his arms and legs, and the black-scaled dragon opened his bloody mouth behind his head, swung its whip tail, and spread out the black scales that covered the sky. Breathing hot air...
Roy flew and slashed, hitting the humanoid bat with all his strength!
The black dragon phantom waved its claws, shredded the air, and charged forward!
The bony long sword split a scarlet sword glow.
The deafening dragon roar ripped apart the space.
boom!
Claw blade clash.
The entire Hades trembled.
The two colliding figures separated backwards.
Huge magic power erupted from the junction, interweaving into a black-red sun.
It is suspended in mid-air, radiating infinite light and heat.
The rich darkness was torn out a big hole, and the light came again!
In the center of the hall, a huge funnel-shaped pit full of cracks appeared on the solid stone ground.
East of the pit.
The witcher flew in the direction from which he came, knocked a big hole in the wall, spewed a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs, and fell to the ground softly.
west.
The shadow elder slid ten meters backwards in embarrassment.
The dragon's roar deterred its soul, causing it to forget to dodge attacks in a daze.
A bat wing on the back was chopped off by the scarlet sword glow, turning into a pool of blood.
The waving octopus tightly bound its bat body with its arms and legs, corroding its skin into pits and holes.
The most terrifying thing is.
The black dragon's sharp claws hit its ugly head, smashing its cervical vertebrae in horror, the pale bone spurs drilled out of the skin with large pieces of flesh and blood, and the head was patted to one side, clinging to the shoulder on the other side.
Click click.
The shadow elder twitched his neck at will, his head returned to its original position, black smoke flashed, and the bright red granulation of earthworms drilled out of the bloody wound to pull and stick to each other.
In the blink of an eye, the wounds that were fatal to ordinary people healed as before.
It looked towards the opposite side coldly.
The demon hunter, who was dying and his pupils dilated, unexpectedly burst out from behind a vast galaxy of bright starlight.
The aura of decay quickly rose.
With a ring of time, Roy's injuries, including damaged armor and wasted energy, all recovered in an instant.
He stood up suddenly.
Bowing, the long sword is horizontal to the side of the face, and the tip of the sword is pointing directly at the shadow elder on the opposite side, with more fighting intent in his eyes,
"You stubborn, stupid, and arrogant old vampire, I'll reason with you well, and negotiate a deal, but you want to do—"
"Then come!"
"Try to see if you can force out my true power!"
"To end your long and tedious life!"
"Let me tear down your tattered Hades!"
The air crackled.
Four eyes facing each other.
Black, yellow and silver-grey flames were burning.
A bloody battle is imminent.
However, at this moment, the void cracked open a door that was bright red like blood, and a hoarse voice like a file came from it, interrupting the confrontation between the two.
"Shadow Tribe... Elder... Sith... stop."
A wisp of wriggling black smoke flowed out of the blood and landed next to the elder, quickly transforming into another morbid and thin man.
The same dead gray skin, cold, ancient temperament.
Roy's eyes narrowed.
Second Elder Shadow? Why did he suddenly show up
The silver-gray pupils turned between the two almost identical figures, and his thoughts floated.
Listening to it speak, it should not be to beat me.
otherwise-
He clenched his fists.
All solved!
But there was a little doubt in his heart. Regis didn't say that there were three elders at the beginning, why didn't one of them simply come to visit together
By the way, where is Regis going
Roy looked around, and finally found a disgraced and unconscious barber in a corner.
The abilities displayed by the elders just now seem to have a greater impact on their peers.
…
"Elder of Kalansha... Tracher..."
"Not staying in Toussaint... trespassing on my domain?"
"Criticize my decision?"
A hint of coldness flashed on the face of the shadow elder who was confronting the witcher, and his tense body quietly relaxed.
The rage was forcibly suppressed.
…
"It's not just you...it's about my...lifelong wish."
"One thousand five hundred years have passed... The second celestial sphere rendezvous is far away."
"How long...two hundred years...three hundred years...the next thousand years?"
"I've waited enough..."
Two pairs of black and yellow eyes stared at each other,
Tracher said firmly,
"Can't you feel it? The icy aura is rapidly approaching... Drifting to this world... The end of the era of frost is coming..."
Roy was fascinated by what he heard, but he didn't expect that the shadow elders also knew about the plague of hoarfrost.
"If before the rendezvous of the celestial and spheres... hoarfrost falls... we will... sleep forever in the harsh winter... no hope of returning home..."
"More than two thousand years... can you still learn to take care of the overall situation?"
Sith was silent for a while, his hands crossed on his chest, and the black smoke and ferocious bat wings all over his body dissipated.
Shadow Elder Tracher nodded and turned to the witcher. His expression was calm, but a terrifying cold light flashed through his black and yellow pupils, as if he could see through his soul.
"Witcher...not everyone is qualified...to trade with us...but you have the blood of the ancients...you are an ordinary man...and you have a secret...that I can't see through."
"We can say yes... but the conditions will have to change."
Roy's expression softened a little and lowered the tip of his sword. This is the attitude of negotiation.
Then he raised his chin at it, signaling it to continue,
"Excluded from the agreement...Me and the Sith...if we both successfully return home...Shadow and Garansha...Clan members will serve you."
"Twenty years."
"You can call them anytime..."
"Except for cannibalism... the rest of the orders..."
"All obey..."
"We will engrave... a blood oath for you... if the agreement is completed, it will be an edict spell... if the breach is violated, it will be a blood curse."
Roy's eyes turned.
curse? The last thing he was afraid of was the curse. But he still had some doubts, and looked directly at the new elder,
"Twenty years is just a night's sleep compared to two long lives."
At that time, he can also use the elder to deal with Wild Hunt and Hoarfrost.
"Why not? Do you have to exclude the two from the contract?"
The two shadow elders exchanged glances silently and explained,
"The elders only obey... higher bloodline orders."
"Secondly... many years ago... Kovill's... Elder Vlamir... traded with cunning merchants... Pathfinder..."
"Deceived by a protocol loophole...Never returned home...The breath has disappeared."
"So no more...similar agreements."
Roy's heart is full of stormy seas, cunning businessman, who else but Master Mirror
That scum-headed demon actually trapped a shadow elder
So only two people showed up today.
"That's it... what do you think?!"
Two pairs of eyes looked over.
Roy could feel the anticipation and some kind of suppressed emotion contained in it.
If they refuse, they must be killed before they can leave the underworld.
But that was against his original intention.
He came to gather help, not erect enemies.
In fact, the enslavement of the shadow elders was only a preliminary idea.
This moody time bomb, with it around, can cause more trouble than help.
It is not impossible to give up.
What he needs are allies that come and go.
Obedient high-level vampire.
He turned to his pale cheeks and smiled lightly, as if the conflict had never happened before,
"Then let's make a deal."
"Now, tell me about it carefully, the so-called blood oath."
"By the way, take me to see the gate of all worlds and prepare for teleportation."
