remuneration? What reward?
Leonard was startled slightly, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger. He maintained his demeanor and smiled: "You saved my life, I should reward you. Lord Demon, I wonder if I can know your name?"
"My name..."
The black and white spotted puppy stood up and walked back and forth twice.
"I am now the 'Lord of the Paradise Island', the guardian spirit of the witches, the defender of ancient knowledge, and a spectator waiting for the banquet. If you are willing, call me the 'Gonghuo Demon'."
Gong...gong the fire demon?
It doesn't sound right or evil, just plain annoying.
The war demon looked at Leonard and said, "Are you a little anxious now?"
Leonard did not shy away: "As you said, yes. All this stems from my blindness. I have an unshirkable responsibility for everything that happened today! If I had been more vigilant, these should not have happened."
The war demon doesn't care about Leonard's introspection.
The smile on its lips became more and more evil, and it said to itself: "When people lose something they cherish, they will inevitably become anxious. Watching their savings decrease, watching themselves grow old, or...the power of Slow drain.”
"..."
Leonard was silent.
War Demon continued: "Furthermore, human intuition is very interesting. Even if you don't know something is happening, you will still have a corresponding premonition. You don't understand why you feel like this at the time. When the truth comes out, Only then did I suddenly realize—ah, that’s how it is.”
Leonard's eyes became serious: "Gonghuo Demon, what do you want to say?"
The war demon raised his head: "I want to talk to you about the reward now. The reward for saving your life once."
"…What do you want?"
"Your water power."
"What did you say?!"
"Goodbye Leonard, I've taken what I wanted."
The figure of the war demon slowly disappeared, and the dream also broke at this moment.
"Well!!"
In the command post, Leonard suddenly opened his eyes wide and made a sound like he was dying.
Before he could figure out the situation, he had already stood up in disbelief. After losing consciousness for a moment, he slowly saw the environment he was in.
"Mr. Leonard, are you awake?"
General Hongyan, who was leaning against the wall, spoke.
Wake up is wake up.
but……
Disappeared. Leonard checked his body and found that he only had the most ordinary magic power in his body, and there was no "origin" at all.
The feeling of being closely related to water, the creator-like feeling of being able to remotely sense everything in the world through the water vapor in the air, is gone!
"Father……"
Agnes stood up, squinting.
She looked at Leonard and asked, "Where is your water power?"
Leonard turned his head and saw that there was no concern in Agnes's eyes, only shock and anger.
He covered his forehead and said after a while: "Everyone... we need to start a meeting to discuss the current situation and next steps."
It was at this moment that all the children of the Hesse clan suddenly discovered——
They are no longer the descendants of the water god.
…
…
"I got it! Open the door quickly!"
Aloe was pleasantly surprised and said excitedly.
Without thinking, Fankou immediately penetrated the mana into the astrolabe and opened a portal. The three of them filed in and appeared in the palace of the Lord of the Heavenly King City. Fankou's second action was to urgently close the space-time tunnel.
After doing all this and confirming that no one was chasing him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned his head and looked at the bright blue light group in Aloe's hand, and lost his mind for a moment.
How clear and magnificent that blue is!
It is as clean as a baby, and every time it flashes, it gives people a feeling of relaxation and joy.
"What a nice view……"
Fankou murmured to himself.
With such a valuable treasure in front of them, everyone's breathing became cautious, and greed emerged from deep in their hearts, wanting to take the source of God into their arms and wander around the world.
However, everyone here was smart and quickly suppressed this idea.
Aloe solemnly placed the water god root on the table. She thought for a while, then brought a box and packed it.
Then, she looked left and right and said, "Captain Mu, Captain Fankou, congratulations! We have exceeded the task and successfully captured the source of God. The process went so smoothly that I can't even imagine it. This is fate and destiny! This time The credit belongs to the three of us, and I will write down your contribution in the report."
Ah this.
Musuogen and Fankou looked at each other, and they both realized that Aloe probably wanted to say something.
What did she want to say?
Mu Suogen hesitated and said: "In terms of credit, Captain Aloe deserves the most credit! Without the secret passage, we can't sneak in. You discovered the secret passage; without the formation, we can't steal the source, and the formation is also arranged by you. . I have accomplished almost nothing, so I don’t dare to take credit.”
Fankou also said: "Captain Aloe, I apologize for my previous recklessness. Your ability is beyond my imagination. You have both courage and strategy, and you are a qualified captain."
Aloe smiled and shook his head, and suddenly said: "You two, I think... we need to help each other, which is beneficial to everyone."
"??"
Mu Suogen frowned, still confused.
Fankou understood it and said with a smile: "That's right! I have communicated with Mr. Bai Lin in the past two days - Mr. Bai Lin is a very friendly person. He said that almost all the people under the general's command are his old troops. , Bird Pioneer, Chief Rose, and Mr. White Scales himself, they are all people who fought with him in the world, and are deeply trusted! The three of us became monks halfway, and after we came, we did not get a decent appointment..."
"Of course, I'm not doubting the abilities of the Heavenly King's old men. They are all well-known figures. They are valued because their abilities are truly outstanding."
"I just want to say... if the three of us can take care of each other, it's better than fighting alone, right?"
Ambition.
Musuogen smelled ambition.
If he doesn't understand the words at this point, then his life at this age will be in vain. Old Man Mu thought secretly: "So that's it. I joined the King of Heaven because I wanted to hit the fifteenth realm and become the Supreme. But Fankou and Aloe are obviously more active and proactive than me. They want more than just Strength, but also power.”
"That's understandable. Who doesn't love being a high-ranking official with a generous salary and being respected by others?"
"Both Fankou and Aloe realized that Tianwang's old tribe was a small circle and it was not easy to integrate into it. So they tried to form an alliance to guard against possible impacts."
"but……"
Judging from what Musuogen has seen since joining, he believes that Bai Lin, Fei Niao, and even the notorious "Blood Rose" are all people who are not difficult to get along with.
What's even more commendable is that the people around General Tianwang don't have a strong desire for power. The most obvious manifestation is-
They never formed cliques.
Aloe and Fankou don't seem to realize this yet. They are from the 1555 community, and the generals of the 1555 community do not have enough prestige, so the fights among their subordinates are very fierce. Aloe and Fankou may have used their past experience to serve General Tianwang. .
Musuogen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Captain Aloe and Captain Fankou, you have just joined, so I'm afraid you don't know General Tianwang yet. Compared to other places, this place is very pure."
Aloe smiled slightly: "Mr. Mu, you misunderstood. I just want to do more things. I am a member of the Aloe family and the leader who inherited the name of 'Aloe'. I do not allow myself to be mediocre."
