Chapter 154 Edith's invitation! How about giving you a nest of little succubi?
"Let us immerse ourselves in this drama together, young man."
The crazy laughter of the Night Witch echoed like a ghost, like a mad woman, which made people tremble with fear.
At the same time, Su Xuan felt a heart-wrenching pain in his left eye!
“Damn it!”
The severe pain made Su Xuan grit his teeth. His pupils were full of bloodshot. He covered his left eye with his hand, knowing clearly that this was the effect caused by the inheritance of the Demon Eye.
But what he had never expected was that it would suddenly trigger the memory of the Night Witch!
etc!
Perhaps, this is not just a memory! Su Xuan raised his left eye, and a golden light flickered in his pupil. Through his fingers, he stared at the Witch of Night in the distance.
That sinister smile seemed to be declaring her sovereignty, announcing to him that this power was hers after all!
But Su Xuan knew that the Night Witch had died long ago, and this was just her regret in the Demon Eye! "What is your real intention?" Su Xuan tried his best to suppress the severe pain in his left eye and questioned the Night Witch.
However, the unbearable pain made his speech unclear, and his consciousness was gradually engulfed in chaos.
In response to Su Xuan's questioning, the Night Witch just laughed grimly and did not give any response...
"Mr. Su Xuan? Mr. Su Xuan, can you hear me?"
"Master! Wake up!"
"Mr. President, what's wrong with you?"
“…”
Su Xuan suddenly woke up from his bed and found that the members of the guild were surrounding his bed, with worried looks on their faces.
"What's wrong with me?" Su Xuan looked at them and asked.
"You were covering your left eye and crying out in pain just now..." Bellafro answered softly.
"Mr. President, are you okay?" Bei Yafuli also came closer and asked with concern.
"Have you been covering your left eye?" Su Xuan took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that some force caused the severe pain."
"The Demon Eye?"
Lucia's voice came softly. She sat on a wooden chair in the room, quietly observing Su Xuan's situation.
Because there were many people around the bed, Su Xuan did not notice Lucia was there at first.
"Um."
Su Xuan nodded. He had never thought of hiding the existence of the Demon Eye from the members of the guild.
Lucia explained softly, "After all, this is the power of the witch, so it's normal to have the witch's regret."
"However, it's just a pity. As long as you have enough power, you can suppress the side effects of the magic eye."
"Is that... the witch's regret?"
Su Xuan whispered to himself. He recalled the scene in his memory, but the conversation with the Night Witch seemed to transcend time.
As for the so-called side effects, apart from some eye pain, there seems to be no other impact.
However, what exactly did the Night Witch mean by "drama"? What was "betrayal from the night"? He was a little confused.
"I'm going to take a shower, wait for a moment."
Su Xuan stood up and walked into the bathroom, and the sound of running water was heard.
Not long after, he walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel. His hair was still a little wet, but it didn't matter.
"Master, let me help you change your clothes~"
Alice immediately stepped forward and changed Su Xuan's clothes.
While changing clothes, Ivsa came in with a letter, "Mr. Su Xuan~ There is a letter for you~"
"Um?"
Su Xuan took the letter from Evesa and saw the familiar rose emblem. He immediately knew who the owner of the letter was.
He opened the envelope and saw familiar handwriting.
[Are you free tonight? I'd like to meet you.]
It's getting simpler and simpler...
However, Su Xuan also happened to be looking for Edith, so he had no reason to refuse.
"Let's go and start today's mission."
"Yes, sir."
After Su Xuan put on his clothes, he immediately led the guild members to the mission location.
…
Time flies, and it's already evening.
Everyone returned to the guild through the flashing white light of the teleportation array.
Su Xuan sat on the sofa and submitted the tasks completed today. They completed four D-level commissioned tasks and obtained 12 gold coins and 150,000 experience points.
Adding on the experience that was not used in time because the elf sisters urged him to go to the Elf Kingdom, the experience pool has accumulated to 240,000.
So much experience! This will give them a lot of upgrades! ?
Lortharen upgraded from level 28 to level 38, experience -62150 (experience halved)!
Ivsa and Alice were upgraded from level 22 to level 27, with experience -72,000!
Bellafuli and Bellafuro are upgraded from level 20 to level 25, with experience -66,000!
Lucia upgraded from level 18 to level 25, experience -40400!
The total experience consumed was 24W, which just drained the experience pool.
"Half the experience is a god-level talent!" Su Xuan whispered. The experience required to upgrade Roselin's level is much lower than that of other adventurers. This is indeed a lot more convenient, and the level is rising! However, when adventurers break through level 50, they need special upgrade materials, and experience alone will not be able to meet the upgrade needs.
After dealing with these matters, Su Xuan carefully checked the financial situation of the guild.
Currently, the guild has 70 gold coins in assets. Although this seems to be a considerable fortune, in fact, it is far from enough for the operation of the guild and the equipment update of the members.
As the difficulty of the tasks increased, Su Xuan naturally had to update some equipment for the guild members.
Ordinary equipment can no longer meet the needs of combat. It is best to let all guild members wear equipment of elite quality or above to comprehensively improve their combat effectiveness!
However, an elite-quality piece of equipment costs between 3 and 10 gold coins. If we want to equip each of them with a set, it would be difficult for the current guild...
"Well, let's buy one for each of them when we get back. Then, we can prepare to challenge the more difficult magic caves."
Su Xuan whispered to himself, then stood up and stepped into the teleportation array, heading to Edith's territory to keep the appointment.
When he arrived at Edith's mansion, he was intoxicated by the scent of roses in the air.
But for some reason, there seems to be a unique fragrance mixed in with the scent of this flower?
Is it the breath of a succubus?
He didn't investigate further and walked straight into the mansion.
At this time, Edith was reading a book in the pavilion in the garden, and next to her, a woman with blue curly hair attracted Su Xuan's attention.
The woman was concentrating on painting. The object in the painting was not Edith, but a rose in the distance.
"You're here~"
When Edith saw Su Xuan, she waved to him gently.
Su Xuan walked to Edith's side and turned his gaze to the blue-haired woman who was painting nearby.
"Who is this?"
"She is the second princess of the Star Kingdom - Catherine." Edith introduced her to Su Xuan.
"Hello."
Catherine smiled at Su Xuan and continued to paint with concentration.
"Second Princess?"
Su Xuan was a little confused. Was there any special meaning in Edith asking him to meet the second princess of the Star Kingdom?
"Please sit down first."
Edith smiled and invited Su Xuan to sit down. Then, she gently put down the book in her hand and said, "I have something to ask of you. Of course, you won't refuse."
"What's up?"
Su Xuan showed a puzzled expression. What was there that he would not refuse? "About the White Rose..." Edith gently crossed her legs, took a sip of the black tea, and a mysterious light flashed in her eyes.
This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!
When she finished speaking, Su Xuan understood that this was indeed something he could not refuse.
"What happened to White Rose?" he asked Edith.
However, it was not Edith who answered him, but Catherine.
"The guardian flowers in various parts of the Star Kingdom are withering one after another. The blood jasmine, violet, and blue lily are on the verge of collapse, and the white rose has also shown signs of withering recently." Catherine answered while painting.
When Su Xuan heard this, he frowned slightly and looked at Edith.
"Yes."
Edith nodded. "What she said is true, and this should be the method left by the Night Witch."
"Night Witch..."
Su Xuan frowned slightly. Did the Night Witch not only want to destroy the White Rose, but also the other six guardian flowers? What exactly did she want to do? "This is a contest of power." Katrin gently put down the paintbrush in her hand. Her sky-blue eyes looked directly at Su Xuan, and her tone was serious. "It's obvious that my father stood on the side of the Night Witch. He wanted Vivian to become the new king."
“Maybe that’s the case~”
Edith echoed.
"So, I hope you can stop the white rose from withering." Katrin continued, "At least hold on until the Star Ceremony is over. Then we will be able to solve the root cause of the Guardian Flower withering."
“…”
Su Xuan fell into deep thought for a moment. He understood why Edith asked him to come over, but there was still one thing he didn't quite understand.
So he asked, "I heard that the Star Kingdom wants the armies of other countries to help them solve the troubles in the Demon Cave, and even wants them to enter the Royal City. Why is that?"
"Is there such a thing?"
When Catherine heard Su Xuan's words, she showed a surprised expression. She had never heard of such a situation before.
“The reason is simple.”
However, Edith seemed very calm and explained with a smile, "The dying king was willing to let the troops from other countries enter the royal city for only one reason, and that was that he was sure that his enemies would stay in the royal city forever. As for what he was going to do with them, I haven't found out yet."
"Keep your enemies in the royal city forever? Isn't he afraid of counterattacks from other countries? The national strength of the Sun Cult is several times stronger than that of the Star Kingdom." Su Xuan asked doubtfully.
"Is it difficult to find a scapegoat?" Edith asked with a smile.
These words made Su Xuan understand immediately.
As for who this scapegoat is, is it the demons in the demon cave?
Or is it someone else? "No matter what their purpose is, we must face it if we want to seize the power of the Star Kingdom!" Edith shook the teacup in her hand and whispered, "I need your help. If you are willing to stand by me, I can meet all your requirements!"
As she spoke, her eyes inadvertently swept over Katrin who was sitting next to her. Her eyes seemed to imply that it would not be a problem even to give the second princess to him as a maid.
This glance made Catherine's heart tremble slightly. She realized that she was just a pawn in Edith's hands and she had no room for resistance.
"Do you want to use my magic eye to deal with Vivian?" Su Xuan heard the intention in Edith's words.
"Correct answer~" Edith smiled, her left hand resting lightly on her cheek, "So, are you willing to accept this commission? Of course, if you think it's not enough, I still have hundreds of little succubi waiting to be fed. As long as you think your body can bear it~ they can all be given to you."
As she spoke, she stroked her lips and tongue with her fingertips, showing a charming expression that was captivating.
…
The scene switched, Su Xuan had returned to the guild, pondering over the information provided by Edith in his mind. He was still confused about the old king's true intentions.
Was it just to ensure Vivian's smooth ascension to the throne? Or did he hope to somehow prolong his own lingering life?
"Let's talk to Lucia tomorrow." Su Xuan said to himself. Lucia might be able to provide him with some help.
But now, he needed to find Lorthalin to go to Sunset City together.
"Losalind, come with me."
Su Xuan knocked on the door and called out to Roselin in the room.
Roseline immediately opened the door and asked, "What's the emergency?"
"Yes, come with me."
Su Xuan didn't have time to explain. He grabbed Luo Selin's hand and rushed towards the teleportation array.
When the light of the teleportation array flickered, they appeared in the familiar Yerman Castle.
"You go find Luo Xia, and then we'll meet in Natasha's room." Su Xuan instructed Luo Salin.
"OK."
Luo Salin nodded and walked towards Luo Xiya's room.
Su Xuan went to Natasha's room. He knocked on the door gently and asked, "Natasha, are you asleep?"
"Mr. Su Xuan!?"
Hearing Su Xuan's voice, Natasha immediately came over to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Su Xuan noticed Natasha wearing a thin nightgown, looking at him expectantly.
"Mr. Su Xuan, why are you here so late..." Before Natasha finished her words, Su Xuan's eyes naturally fell on her status bar, which clearly showed the [Withered] status! He gently placed his hand on Natasha's shoulder and asked seriously: "Natasha, have you felt uncomfortable recently?"
"Feeling unwell? Probably not." Natasha shook her head gently, "I just always feel sleepy, even if I don't do anything..."
Hearing this, Su Xuan frowned slightly.
The white roses have begun to wither. Facing this, Su Xuan is deeply worried. How can he help Natasha get out of this predicament? But even Edith and the others are helpless...
etc!
At this moment, Su Xuan had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He thought of the soul necklace Natasha was wearing and the residual soul of the Valkyrie that resided in it! Perhaps she knew a way to suppress the withering of the white rose!
but……
Su Xuan recalled his first conversation with the Valkyrie. He only had time to look at her before she coldly rejected him.
I wonder if I can successfully communicate with her this time? But no matter what the result is, he must try!
"Natasha, can you give me that soul necklace?" Su Xuan asked Natasha.
"Um."
Natasha took the necklace off her snow-white neck and handed it to Su Xuan.
When Su Xuan's soul power penetrated into the soul necklace, a powerful divine power violently hit his mind.
At the same time, the cold rebuke echoed in Su Xuan's ears again:
"Human! Why are you here again? Get out!"
