Brian and Karadna walked through a dark and twisted forest and rested in a cave that looked like a skull.

After the protective barrier was laid out, the darkness and depressing atmosphere in this not-so-spacious cave gradually became contrasted by soft light like daytime.

Brian's tense nerve finally relaxed. He looked around and finally fixed his eyes on Karadna.

The sorcerer was as happy as a girl who had picked many beautiful flowers. She used her skirt to cover the scales of the ghost Naga. She didn't care about the exposed white legs, and she poured them all on the ground and focused on picking them.

Thinking of the unfinished task, Brian couldn't be happy at all.

Since he killed a group of skeleton knights, the two of them have fled for about 5 hours in this depressed atmosphere, and finally got rid of the pursuers of the Thirteen Towns of the Shadow.

The price of throwing these undead knights away was that they were getting farther and farther away from their destination, and even made Brian vaguely feel that he was about to lose his way.

However, what made him a little relieved was that before he escaped, he set up space markers in the river where he encountered the dragon turtle in advance.

Now, he has sent many shadow partners through monster summoning techniques to assist him in finding a monastery in Shar Church.

While waiting, Karadna expressed in a slightly complaining tone that after so long the enemy had been thrown away, why can't we find a place to rest first?

After hearing this, Brian's stomach and physical fatigue seemed to be cooperating with her to respond.

So, they came here.

At first, the sorcerer said very seriously that he would take him to his mansion in a different dimension. For this request, Brian naturally refused it directly.

After all, their current location is a shadow plane. If they are discovered by some powerful beings hiding in the dark while heading to the alien dimension space, they will set up traps in advance at the place where they disappeared, and wait for the rabbit, and they will be directly taken over.

This kind of danger, once a spellcaster, has not only experienced it deeply, but also implemented character exchanges many times and has cheated countless players.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has sent many shadow creatures to help him find the lost monastery of Shar Church, so he naturally cannot hide in the alien space and wait for news.

"What did you do to collect so many ghost Naga's scales?" Brian thought, and one of the scales carefully selected by Karadna fell into his palm.

Ghost Naga's flash scales

Type: Material

Quality: Blue·Extraordinary

Description: The essence scales dropped by the ghost Naga who lives in the shadow plane, accompanied by their powerful magical powers during their lifetime. Alchemists and miraculous figures are very interested in this material.

…………

This pile of ghost Naga's scales were obtained after they were massacred by Brian during their escape.

If Karadna hadn't insisted on collecting these scales, the process of the two of them might have been smoother.

"Of course it's making magical equipment." Karadna looked immersed in the pleasure of selecting scales. She carefully sorted the scales and said to Brian without raising her head:

"You are not planning to ask me to help you develop new magic products. My lady naturally takes this matter to heart. Since the materials used for fire-attribute handguards are all salamander scales from the fire element plane, the fire element energy of the handguards made is difficult to control, and the failure rate remains high. So I have been thinking about how to find a magic material that can not only neutralize the violent fire element energy, but also keep the equipment enchantment in a delicate balance."

She put away all the selected scales, ignored the remaining piles of defective products on the ground, looked up at Brian, and smiled confidently: "There is no doubt that the scales of Naga, the ghost who is born and raised in the shadow plane, are the best choice for the salamander scales that neutralize the fire element plane."

"It sounds very professional." Brian nodded thoughtfully. Although he had some knowledge of making magic equipment, he obviously did not belong to the master level. He naturally retained his own opinions.

He threw the scales to Karadna casually, leaning on the cold rock wall of the cave. Under the soft magical glory, the sorcerer's long legs that were undoubtedly revealed from the high-opening skirt were like a layer of milky white halo, and the sparkling crystal luster, which produced the fatal temptation that made him unable to move his eyes for a moment.

It has to be said that this pair of beautiful curvaceous legs is definitely a weapon to please men, and it is also the most seductive long legs Brian has ever seen so far.

From plump thighs to tight calves, it is really fatter or thinner. Whether it is muscle lines or soft fat content, everything is just right, so that it makes him feel the endless layers of tender and soft feel.

Realizing his incompetence, he came back to his senses and said with a smile, "I'm even more curious about what you said. Why do professionals like you who have native magical warlock bloodlines choose boring side jobs like alchemy, and how did you persist?"

As if she noticed Brian's gaze, Karadna rolled his eyes and moved her body deliberately provocatively so that he could see more clearly. She had a surprised smile on her face:

"It is because it is boring that I have to learn. This is what the old bastard Sandracott told me since he was a child. As it turns out, this method is indeed good. The reason why my strength can advance to the legendary field is because I face magic materials and runes day after day, which makes me gradually forget the pleasure of using fireballs to kill goblins, and I unknowingly broke through."

Brian was a little embarrassed by the brave and proactive behavior of the sorcerer, so he calmly looked away and asked curiously, "So, you have raised that rat demon pet since you were young and have been with you until now."

He had long known that Karadna's magic pet was a little hamster. Under the influence of his master, this magic pet not only learned to speak the common language in mainland China, but also mastered a lot of alchemy knowledge, and often assisted her in completing various difficult equipment production together.

When Karadna accompanied him to Guangze, her magic pet stayed in Mokou Town to guide the group of spellcasters in alchemy.

"Yes, that little hamster pet was raised by me since I was a child."

Speaking of the magic pet, a rare warm smile appeared on the corner of Karadna's mouth. Then she took out a pile of hungry food from the dimensional bag and asked: "Aren't you also a spellcaster? Why do I only heard that you have a spiritual crystal servant, but I have never heard you mention your magic pet, so it shouldn't be."

"Because my devil has defected." Brian said calmly. The food the Warlock Miss took out was simple, but very delicious - bread, cheese, crackers, fruit and some low-concentration wine.

"Defected?" Karadna was stunned for a moment, and then her crisp and pleasant laughter echoed from the closed cave.

"I didn't expect that the talented mage lord of Mokou Town, our Lord Protector of the Country, could not even raise his own magic pets well, and even let him defect." She smiled in a teasing tone:

"Is it because your character is too bad or you have a tendency to abuse the demon pet, which makes even your own demon pet not want to stay with your master? If this is spread, it will probably be unbelievable."

Hearing the sorcerer's joke, Brian was unmoved, but looked at her expression with her deep eyes carefully, and suddenly said, "It's true, but if you know that my demon pet is a certain influential grand duke of hell, I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh."

"The lost power of the Hell?"

Hearing Brian's tone, it didn't look like he was lying. Karadna's hand holding food froze, and then after thinking seriously for a moment, her eyes were almost glaring out in a surprised tone, and then she said tentatively in an uncertain tone: "You are talking about Hell Lord, shouldn't you... Aphronas's former bloody battle commander."

"You are smart, you can guess it right." Brian looked at Karadna calmly. At the moment he nodded and admitted, he obviously felt that the look flashing in the sorcerer's eyes was not only shocked, but also a complex expression that made him unable to see through.

This made him vaguely feel that the secret of her true identity might have been getting closer and closer.

In fact, the topic about the magic pet was deliberately selected.

The purpose of this is mainly to allow the curious sorcerer to guide the problem to his demon pet. When he suddenly reveals the true identity of the demon pet in an indifferent tone, he can obtain some general information through Karadna's reaction.

Although he still doesn't know which devil grandpa is standing behind the other party, he can at least be sure that Karadna is definitely not a subordinate of Zarel.

And he could feel that the sorcerer should have just completed the contract with a certain devil's grand duke and had not fulfilled his obligations yet.

Otherwise, with her somewhat thick IQ, if she throws her into the extremely treacherous devil's nest, she will definitely not survive the second episode.

In other words, this sorcerer who has not fulfilled his contractual obligations now has the possibility of salvation.

As long as he knows who the other party signed the contract with and the specific content of the contract, he may be able to find a way to help her.

Brian ordered it and did not continue to discuss it. Instead, he picked up a piece of soft cheese with a crust like red paraffin and deliberately changed the topic. "I didn't expect that you prepared this food. Do you know what the cheese is called?"

"Of course I know, this is death-gazing cheese." Karadna seemed to have been in a brief meditation because of Brian's secret exposure. She quickly came to her senses and smiled at him. "The name of this cheese does not come from its effect, but from a creature in the Thunder Peak area of ​​Sambia and Cormier - the Katobrepas Lizard.

While the Catobrepas lizard can kill others by staring, which is a nightmare for most adventurers, its lizard eggs are surprisingly delicious, especially when added to the cheese, which also brings a stimulating aroma and permanently soft shape, luring users into a state that is almost drunk with wine, which is often eaten as an appetizer.”

Speaking of the wine, Karadna immediately picked up the bottle and prepared to fill a glass for Brian.

"There is no need to drink." Brian reached out to stop the sorcerer from pouring alcohol to himself. "The next task is very dangerous. I don't want alcohol to affect myself, even if the chance of the impact is minimal."

"Don't you know?" Karadna did not politely to him and put down the exquisite glass wine bottle. "Ilminster once said: A light drink in grief can increase one's wisdom, but drinking passionately is useless. It's not important to drink less."

"I don't know if he said this." Brian chuckled when referring to the sage of Shadow Valley, "but the problem is that I can always hear in the tavern that this old wizard likes to drink the most, and obviously he doesn't do that himself."

He took another bottle spread on the tablecloth, glanced at it, and smiled, "For example, this bottle is produced in Chenhai Town, called 'Ilminster's Choice', and is known as the most popular wine in the Kingdom of Cormier. I don't agree with it. Although the quality of this dark beer is good, it looks very turbid because of the foam produced by the yeast slices. The taste is very fluffy, and the bitter taste will produce a smoky follow-up flavor. For people like me, it is simply a dark dish."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind it! "So, this wine was definitely not named by the Shadow Valley Sage himself, it must be a marketing strategy." He couldn't help but complain, "After all, anyone who knows the old mage knows that he drinks almost everything, even the milk of the snake-haired banshee."

This was not because Brian deliberately blackened the old sage in Shadow Valley, but because it was true that this was happening, or because their players learned from a copy of the snake-haired banshee known as the "trumpet killer".

The crisp laughter echoed in the cave again. It was obvious that the warlock lady believed in Brian's words, or that she knew the black material.

During a pleasant meal, Brian faced the rich food and did not choose to drink, but simply ate some cheese and crackers.

He was most fond of mint-flavored crackers. After adding herbs and spices unique to the valley, they tasted extremely delicious and crispy, which made him unconsciously eat a few more pieces.

After all, the two of them set out from the early morning and were busy until dusk before they successfully arrived at the Shadow Plane. They experienced the battle and escape with the Shadow Dragon Turtle, as well as the terrible scene of energy loss. If it weren't for the magic potions and spells that had been prepared in advance to support their will, they would have collapsed in this plane that was more depressing and dangerous than the dark area.

At this time, find a safe place to relax, and eat some delicious food to replenish your energy. In order to deal with the more dangerous battles in the future, it is definitely the best choice.

However, what surprised Brian a little during the meal was that this very presence-prone warlock lady looked a little out of her mind, and occasionally bite her cheese with a small mouth, falling into a state of being out of sight and dazed, as if thinking about something difficult to solve.

This made him realize that the other party may have had other ideas after learning about his relationship with the demon pet.

As expected.

Just when Brian recovered his strength and summoned two more shadow creatures to help him find the lost monastery of Shar Church, the warlock lady spoke.

"Brian, you have signed a contract with the devil who is losing power, and let the other party take the opportunity to defect." Karadna put her elbow on her knees, leaned on her chin, letting her blond hair spread out on her side, and her beautiful burgundy eyes flashed with curiously, "Does this mean that she will definitely settle the contract with the other party in the future, after all, the devil's contract..."

She didn't continue, but Brian could feel the look of looking at him as he was saying these words, a little nervous and uneasy.

This made him vaguely feel that the sorcerer seemed to want to take the initiative to confess something to him, which is quite in line with her personality.

"You're right." He nodded slightly, giving her a positive look, "When the time is right, I will definitely go to Affonus to make a final say with this devil who lost power."

"Then we really have the same sympathy." Karadna breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at him, and then his five fingers fell into his thick blonde hair, grabbed his scalp and said distressedly:

"Actually, like you, I have signed a contract with a devil master from Batto Hell. Otherwise, I would not have survived in the Chaos Sea and was lucky enough to obtain the Chaos Wand to suppress my warlock bloodline."

Brian looked at her in surprise for a long time, then he was silent for a moment before asking: "Miss Karadna, I am very grateful for your initiative to confess your secrets to me, so what is the purpose of telling me these things?"

"Maybe it's because I trust you more." Karadna thought seriously for a moment, as if she had made a major decision in her life, and smiled at Brian:

"Since you dare to face the Devil and try to make a final decision, why can't I? So, Brian, if there really is one day, would you take me to Batto Hell?"

"Of course." Brian nodded without thinking and smiled, "After all, we are common allies. I definitely don't want to see you fall down and become the minion of the Devil's Grand Duke. If you have the chance, I will help you."

The whole thing was completely beyond his expectations. Brian did not expect that he had just a simple test, and the sorcerer told him everything.

This is naturally a good thing for him. In this way, he will not have to spend any extra effort to beware of her in the next action.

"Since you said that," Brian pondered slightly, looked up at Karadna, "Can you tell me which devil grandfather is it and what contract was signed?"

"This..." Facing Brian's straightforward inquiry, Karadna looked obviously hesitant. She looked at him apologetically, and then said helplessly and distressedly: "I'm very sorry, I can't tell you now, because this is part of the contract and I must abide by it. Moreover, I have not started to fulfill the content and obligations of the contract yet, and I am always waiting for the opportunity."
