Chapter 2390 Sky-High Price
"How dare you say this even though you know that the Flame Devourer Antuun is an apostle!"
Shalan's tone was calm, but her momentum was rising steadily.
Kailan's body, who was sitting side by side with me, suddenly stiffened, and then started to tremble slightly.
Her body was subconsciously afraid.
"Miss Shalan, if you want to continue the conversation, please calm down your momentum." Looking quietly at the beautiful woman in front of me who was constantly putting pressure on me, I said calmly: "You should know that the pressure of national power level, It doesn’t work for me.”
"In your opinion, I am just an ordinary national force?" Shalan's beautiful eyes shone with a cold light, like iron arrows soaked by the cold wind. Then, she sneered and said, "How sad."
"I don't know what level of national power you are. I only know that you are not as good as Tyrannosaurus King Bakar. This is enough."
"Are you looking down on me?" Sha Lan said coldly.
"I know that you are very powerful, and you have even participated in the quelling of disasters, but after all, you are just a forest fairy, unable to compete with the dragon, let alone the master of the dragon clan - Tyrannosaurus King Bakar, although saying this may make you Not happy, but that’s the truth.”
Shalan's hands trembled slightly. After a long while, she took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She repeated this action several times. Only then did her trembling hands stop shaking, and her restless mood barely calmed down.
She picked up the wine glass, sipped it gently, sucked the last bit of wine into her mouth, and swallowed it bit by bit, as if she was tasting the nectar of fairyland.
At the end, she put the wine glass down, breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned back gently with her slender figure, leaned on the soft backrest of the sofa, closed her eyes slightly, and quietly savored the final aftertaste.
Seeing that the wine glass was empty and she was so intoxicated, I whispered to Kailan: "Go to the second floor, the innermost room, the third locker on the left, and bring down two bottles of wine."
Kailan stood up and left quickly.
When she first went up the stairs, Shalan opened her eyes, stared at me quietly, and said slowly: "You are more courageous than the rumors."
"Courage counts," I smiled. "When it doesn't concern me, even if it's just a fight, I'll stay far away. But once it involves my family, even if I'm facing the apostle, I won't hesitate." Rush over."
"Only when you have principles can you have courage, right?"
"That's right," I said: "The reason why you turned cold and even released your pressure just now is not because Antoun is still alive, but because Antoun is an apostle and he is still alive. That's it. Bar?"
"Yes, your analysis is absolutely correct."
"However, in fact, today's Antuun is no longer the flame devourer of the past. The strongest power in the demon world that flows in its flesh and blood and is regarded as the symbol of the apostle has disappeared with the death of its physical body. The property has returned to its original owner, and now Antuun is really just a big turtle with very powerful energy. It may still be more powerful than most adventurers, but it can no longer be called a disaster."
"Can you understand what I say?"
After thinking for a moment, Shallan nodded.
"I have heard that the demon world has twelve nearly invincible powerful forces. They are used to maintain the balance of the demon world. However, one day, the demon world encountered a disaster, and the twelve forces were scattered throughout the universe, and each found their own A suitable carrier and merge with it to become an apostle.”
"In order to restrain the twelve forces, the Lord of the Demon Realm imprisoned them in the Demon Realm to avoid causing harm to the common people. However, because of their powerful power, the apostles refused to obey the restraints. Instead, they fled to various parts of the universe without authorization to harm all living beings. Tyrannosaurus King· Bakar, Flame Devourer Antuun, Maker Luke, and the stalker Sirocco before them, and after them Longfoot Lotus, Black Plague Dirigi, etc., are all He is an apostle who fled to Hefeng Continent and caused trouble."
"In order to eradicate this disaster, countless adventurers have sacrificed their lives. Sir Elder, do you know why the huge Moonlight City, with a population of over a billion, has only a few tens of thousands of elves with the same skin color as me?"
"Because my people, the dark elves with a population of tens of millions, all died from the black plague."
Shalan's tone was heavy and her voice was trembling, and she said: "Those old people, adults, young and strong, and children, both male and female, old and young, fell down in pieces like harvested crops. They howled in pain and struggled desperately. The eyes looking for survival and the calls for survival turned into withered bones under the erosion of the black plague."
"If we had not received the revelation, if we had not organized an effective resistance, then the entire dark elves would have disappeared from the world and become history forever."
"Black plague. Di Ruigi?" I murmured to myself, and a clear image suddenly appeared in my mind, that strange-shaped monster that looked like a wild dog or a wild boar, with sharp teeth and fangs, and A long tongue, and the sound of chewing as it continuously rolls the roasted bones into its mouth.
Turns out, it was called the Black Plague.
It turned out that its existence killed so many people instantly.
But is all this really as simple as it seems?
Could it also be a conspiracy by that woman?
Thinking of this, I frowned, my eyes full of solemnity.
There were slight footsteps, and Kailan came over carrying two bottles of tequila and two wine glasses.
Pull out the stopper and fill up Shalan first. The clear wine slurry is like crystal, rolling in the cup and splashing a little bit of spray.
"The finest tequila." Shalan picked up the wine glass and sniffed it. After half a minute, she couldn't help but admired: "As expected of His Majesty the Elf's grandson-in-law and His Majesty the Elf's future husband, but this taste is enough to get married in the aristocratic circle. .”
I waved my hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "Don't make fun of me. I don't know anything about taste. I just have some surplus on hand, so I like to buy some exquisite things. I happened to see that this wine is quite unique, so I bought it."
After taking a sip and savoring the aftertaste, Shalan's mind wandered, as if she was talking to herself, or asking me, "How much did you buy?"
"Two hundred bottles" I said.
Suddenly, her beautiful eyes widened and she said in surprise: "How much did you say?!"
"Two hundred bottles."
"Two hundred bottles is two-thirds of the total annual output of Moonlight City!" Shalan exclaimed: "How could you buy so much? This is the royal wine of the palace!"
"Didn't you just say that I am the grandson-in-law of Her Majesty the Fairy Queen and the future husband of Her Majesty the Fairy Queen?"
"Even so, how can you afford this wine? This is not a matter of hundreds or thousands of gold coins. Almost every bottle of wine costs at least tens of thousands of gold coins! Is it possible that you spent millions to buy wine? gold?"
