Chapter 0694: Behind-the-Scenes Deal

This is a gloomy and terrifying magic palace.

After the 4th-level lich threw Alice here, he left without caring.

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

When she first saw this magic palace, Alice's most intuitive feeling was... so big, so tall!

This is obviously the underground of the Jialan Continent, but this group of strange undeads has opened up a huge cave here, and then built a tall and magnificent magic palace.

Alice stood in the center of the palace and looked around, and found that she couldn't see the surrounding walls with her 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 the position where she is is more than a kilometer away from the edge of the palace.

Only in this case can the current situation appear!

Alice looked up at the sky again. The high dome gave her a feeling of being far away and empty. A beam of cold and strange white light shone on her, making her feel more lonely and cold.

Although everything here was so strange, Alice was not surprised to walk leisurely inside. Because, since Alice woke up here, she could sense a strange gaze on her, silently observing her from all angles.

Now she was like an ant locked in a small glass bottle by humans, with an unpredictable future. And the other party was also lying on the mouth of the bottle, observing and studying her with an alternative vision.

"You should know why I asked you to come here, right?"

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

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

Alice nodded gently.

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

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

"I came here for a prophecy scepter..."

"Prophecy scepter... are you talking about this one?"

With the roar of the grand 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 was thickly piled with glittering gold coins and various magic gems, weapons, armor and magic props.

And at the top of the pile of gold coins, a magic scepter shining with colorful light was inserted diagonally on it. Looking at the style and the magic fluctuations, it was the prophecy scepter that Alice dreamed of!

Alice's eyes immediately burst into an extremely strong desire. She used all her strength to control her body and did not reach forward to grab the shadow in the water mirror.

"Yes, sir, what I need is this prophecy scepter!" Alice restrained all her expressions and talked to the other party with full concentration.

"No problem!" The grand voice chuckled: "As long as you can predict 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 to come to this Faen plane to seek the prophecy scepter, and it's just at my fingertips?

Alice calmed down and immediately sensed something wrong.

Since the other party was willing to use a semi-artifact as a reward for divination, the value of the item that needed divination can be imagined. Alice knew very well that the cost of life for each divination was often proportional to the preciousness of the divination item.

The more valuable the item, the more difficult it is to divine, and the more amazing the price she needs to pay!

Compared with the reward for divination, another question makes Alice more worried.

"Sir, do you mean... as long as I provide you with enough details about the whereabouts of the item, you can let me and my companions leave with the prophecy scepter?" Alice asked tentatively.

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

Alice's smile froze, and her expression became serious again.

"My Lord, they are my companions! I hope to take them with me..."

"Hehe, little guy, don't make those unreasonable demands. This time we are just a fair trade! You give me information, I give you the scepter, you are not qualified to bargain with me!"

"My Lord..."

"Little guy, don't think you can use this to threaten me! There are also many guys who have mastered the prophecy in this world, I can send people to catch them all. As for why I chose you? The only reason is your identity as a wizard. You wizards have always been selfish, your minds are very flexible when doing business, and there are no disgusting rules and restrictions when negotiating transactions... So, little guy, don't waste my patience!"

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

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

The corners of Alice's mouth curved slightly, with a trace of regret and sadness on her face.

…………

Three days later.

Greem, Alice, Ursa, Mary and the rest of the group successfully left the Death Trace and returned to the floating giant ship.

But as soon as she stepped onto the floating giant ship, Alice fainted inexplicably and fell to the ground unconscious.

After joint examination by several fate witches, they finally came to a terrible conclusion: Alice's life was about to run out.

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

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

…………

When Alice woke up again, it was already night.

The floating giant ship floats slowly above the high clouds. Through the portholes, you can see pieces of broken clouds sliding quickly past the sides of the ship.

There were no lights in the cabin.

Only the dim and bright moonlight outside the window filtered in, vaguely illuminating the tall and muscular figure in front of the bed.

Greem's tough facial features were very three-dimensional, and the dim light cast deep shadows on his face. When Alice opened her eyes, she saw those bright pupils hidden in the shadows.

"You have lost forty years of your life!" Greem sighed quietly.

Alice's pale face was leaning on the white pillow. Her face was actually paler than the white cloth!

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

"Two months!" Greem replied decisively.

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

Greem hesitated for a moment and finally asked in confusion.

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

Alice leaned on the pillow and softly recounted her experience in the magic palace.

"So... what exactly did that mysterious strong man ask you to divine for him?" Greem couldn't help but asked curiously.

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

"That hateful guy actually touched your memory... Since he has such great ability, why didn't he learn divination by himself instead of asking you, a little witch?" Greem muttered angrily.

Alice smiled lightly.

"Perhaps this has something to do with his original attributes! The power of destiny has always been relatively repulsive to dark attribute energy, so...if he is a high-level undead, then his luck value will always be locked in the negative, any prediction Such spells will also insulate him..."

"Ahem, I also know what you said. However, I still feel so angry that I have made you lose so many years of life in vain. I am growing up..."

"It's not really companionship!" Alice said with a cold smile: "Don't forget, that adult still agreed to my 'little' request!"

"Oh? What did you request?"

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

Greem was speechless for a while after hearing this.

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

If thousands of undead swarmed to the surface, it would probably bring a disaster more terrifying to the forest elves than the witch plague!

…………

The mark of death.

The elves stationed near the Death Scar are still sending teams to search for the whereabouts of Lord Antolil.

But while they were busy, a strange mist floated up from the depths of the earth, drawing the Death Trace and the surrounding magical forest into it.

And in the mist, waves of hoarse howls and noisy and dense friction sounds continued to be heard.

Following the night wind, a foul rotten smell filled the entire world.

Groups of zombie skeletons crawled out from the depths of the ground, moving towards the nearby elf stronghold with sluggish steps. Behind them, large groups of white ghouls emerged from the deep ditch and rushed toward the nearest elven city under the command of some intermediate undead.

In their queues, you can even see blood monsters, Dabo zombies, iron zombies, ghosts, skeleton mages, zombies 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, all of their eye pupils are blood red... chapter;
