The two wizards with Silver Crow badges exchanged glances, their eyes revealing astonishment and relief. They were relieved that they were together. Otherwise, this paladin who had hidden his strength would mercilessly judge them without giving them a chance to resist.
Vont's eyes revealed some interest. He folded his arms across his chest and supported his chin with one hand. "The paladin has hidden his strength. I was almost deceived. It's really unbelievable."
His sharp eyes sized up both sides. The situation was balanced, and the decision to break the balance lay in the hands of Vont, the only one who had not participated in this duel yet. As long as he wanted, he could let either side win.
Both sides noticed this young man who seemed to be an outsider. Whoever won over this young man would hold the key to victory. Elon Musk's mouse - like eyes stared tightly at Vont and put forward a condition. "Young man, if you want to know about that lawsuit, I will tell you everything without reservation. As long as you are willing to help me solve the current problem."
Turan reminded the young man. "You just need to hit him unconscious with a wooden stick behind you. In addition to the conditions Elon Musk promised you, I can give you some unexpected rewards. Maybe I will be in a good mood and form a deep friendship with you. Whether it's wealth or power, I can help you get it more easily."
What Vont was waiting for wasn't these. He expected the paladin to ask for help instead of being lured by the other side. But it seemed that he was going to be disappointed because the paladin had no intention of speaking at all. Even though his left hand touching the ground was bleeding, he still clenched his teeth tightly.
"Well, my ally. Your stubbornness has conquered me." Vont sighed helplessly. He glanced at the pale paladin and shook his head as he looked at the two wizards opposite. "Sorry, as you know, he and I are accomplices. At this critical moment, I don't want to bear the name of betrayal. At least he is more useful to me."
"Damn guy. You will pay for your stupidity." Turan's face was distorted and he cursed the young man who chose the paladin.
Elon Musk reminded his partner, with a ferocious smile on his face. "Don't worry, old friend. An ordinary young man can't pass through the hell in front of us and come to the paladin to help him win. He has rejected our request. When the paladin is exhausted, we can slowly torture him. His body may be of great help to our experiments."
"Sorry to disappoint you." Vont lifted his foot and stepped into the scorched earth and plague. His body turned into a skeleton. The plague and hellfire couldn't harm the undead. The terrifying undead walked in the plague and scorched earth and slowly approached the confident Elon Musk and Turan.
"This is impossible. He is also a wizard and has mastered a more advanced necromancy." Turan exclaimed. At the same time and in the same place, two facts that he couldn't believe appeared. The paladin's strength exceeded that of the copper sword badge. The ordinary young man was a wizard, a stronger wizard.
Studying witchcraft under Mozart, Vont's talent was astonishing enough. At his age, he had already learned the most advanced witchcraft that a wizard with a Silver Crow badge could master, necromancy. Turan and Elon Musk's talents were also astonishing, but they spent their whole lives without being able to touch necromancy.
Passing through the scorched earth and plague and standing in front of the two wizards, Vont's skeleton palm stroked Turan's cheek and smiled eerily. "Return to hell. Your good partner still has a mission to complete."
When the skeleton finger touched Turan's cheek, the necromantic aura adhered to his skin. The flesh and blood rotted and disappeared rapidly. Soon his cheek turned into a terrifying skull. The hellfire in his palm gradually extinguished until his body completely turned into a skeleton and fell into the snow behind.
Losing his partner, as a wizard with a Silver Crow badge, Elon Musk faced a powerful paladin with the holy light of a silver sword badge. He had lost his ability to resist. The plague was driven and devoured by the holy light flame. Until all the plague aura disappeared completely, the holy light burned one of his hands.
Kneeling on the ground, Elon Musk's body trembled. Holding that burned palm, his face was in pain. He surrendered. His body gradually shrank and turned into a mouse, limping and making chirping sounds.
Cybertron got up panting and walked up to Vont. He angrily grabbed his companion's collar, his face full of anger. "I am stubborn enough, but it doesn't mean I am stupid. If the next cooperation is still unpleasant, I don't mind terminating the cooperation early." Vont's standing by just now made the paladin furious.
Vont spread his hands, his expression complex and his tone a bit dissatisfied. "Your Excellency Paladin, you have hidden your real strength from me. The premise of cooperation is mutual trust. Obviously, you have deceived me. This is my way of expressing dissatisfaction. Now we are even." He pushed away Cybertron's hand.
For the improvement in strength, Cybertron didn't foresee it either. His holy light enhancement was too sudden. Maybe it was his determination to defend the dignity of the church with his death that awakened God. He grabbed the mouse on the ground and put it in a small bag. "Well, now I have to take him to Varna City. I hope you are honest."
"Remember our cooperation conditions. I am waiting for your good news." Vont reminded his temporary ally. He had to return to Brot City as soon as possible.
Alkmarr was fond of fishing. It was a good way to relax. He had a huge fish pond in his manor. Sitting by the fish pond, holding a fishing rod, the city of Brot after the snow was basking in the sun. This was quite pleasant.
"Sir, as you guessed, someone found a paladin. They found the wizard who participated in that red wine lawsuit and decided to take him to Varna City." Luke reported the recent situation.
The underground king of Brot City couldn't interfere in the church of Varna City. An effective solution needed to be formulated. Alkmarr closed his eyes. Suddenly, his eyes opened. "The accidental death of a paladin of the Brot City church. Alto should handle it flawlessly. As for that smart person, he needs to be given something to do. Otherwise, he won't stop."
"But we don't seem to have any problems at present." Luke didn't know how to arrange something for Vont to do.
Alkmarr put away his fishing hook. Two fish were hooked. He grabbed the lively fish in his hands and a smile appeared on his face. "I suddenly thought of a good idea. The game is going to be upgraded."
Sarah was a capable assistant. Just a few days after taking over the business, she had gained the great trust of those oriental merchants. As long as the cargo ship arrived at the port of Gold Coast, there would be laborers quickly unloading the spices. This saved a lot of waiting time for the oriental merchants' cargo ships and allowed them to make more trips and save costs. This made the spice business more profitable.
Everyone could see Donning's achievements. Metz was no exception. In order to make the relationship between the young man and her closer and hand over the spice business completely to the young man to manage, freeing herself from the business, she could have more time to learn some skills to capture men, including cooking and dressing up.
Donning became a frequent visitor to Lucas's apartment. All the young men in the entire city of Brot were very disappointed. The heart of the ice beauty was captured. They had no chance and could only sigh that they were born at the wrong time.
"I think we should talk about the wedding. You always have to give me a status." After the luncheon, Metz held a wine glass and hooked Donning's neck with her arm. She stood on tiptoe and kissed the young man's forehead.
"But business matters need to be taken care of. After some time, I will satisfy you." Donning avoided Metz's urging. He didn't want to marry a viper by his side. This was just a part of the game.
Metz was a bit annoyed, but she admonished herself. "Be patient. You have done well enough. Now the relationship is developing further. Before long, he will be conquered by you." There was a noisy sound outside the window. She walked to the bed and looked at the figure outside the apartment through the window. She frowned. "You said you would handle your fiancée well."
Donning didn't expect this girl to be so stubborn, just like that paladin.
Taylor Swift was a brave girl. She would never give up the person she loved. She couldn't just let it go. She had to win Donning back. After returning home, she made up her mind and would never give up. So she went to the local flower shop and bought the best roses and found out where her rival was.
Standing at the door of the apartment holding roses and kneeling on one knee like a man proposing to a woman, she summoned up her courage and shouted. "I love you. No matter what you have done to me, this can't change my love for you. I am willing to do anything for you. I firmly believe that no one can take you away from me."
This attracted the attention of the servants in the apartment. They wanted to drive Taylor away. But Taylor, who was stubborn in the face of true love, wouldn't give up easily. She still shouted loudly. She saw the person at the window, that rival.
Soon the door of the apartment opened and Donning walked out. The servants tried to lift the girl up. Donning stopped these people and stood in front of the girl holding roses.
Taylor excitedly handed up the roses. "Marry me, okay?"
Donning looked up at the ice beauty looking at him at the window. He turned back and took the roses and smelled them in front of his nose. "Fresh flowers."
"I know you still love me." Taylor felt that her crazy act seemed to make the young man change his mind.
Then Donning threw the flowers on the ground. With a mocking expression on his face, he trampled on the roses and slapped Taylor on the cheek. Taylor covered her cheek in bewilderment.
Donning was like a madman. Anger distorted his face. "Get away. You damn whore. When any man has to choose between a humble whore and Miss Metz, they will eventually choose the latter. Listen, disappear from my life. I don't want to see you again."
Taylor's face was pale. There were five fingerprints on her left cheek. She looked at the somewhat unfamiliar man in front of her in despair and covered her face with her hands and sobbed. "You are not the man I know. Maybe I should choose one million and leave."
When they broke up, the man in front of her gave her one million. She thought this man was filled with guilt. This gave her confidence to continue to win him back. But now it seemed that she might have been wrong.
"If she does this again next time, I hope you can inform the police station. I think that's the best place for her." Donning's face was cold and he gave an order to the servants.
After that, he returned to the second floor of the apartment. "Look, this is just a small episode."
