Looking at Ashe, Elise spoke in a steady voice.

However, in the open space not far from the two of them, the drow ranger and the spider elf were fighting fiercely.

The cartoon animals were as abstract and panicked as in a fantasy play, and the cunning Tom even ran under Ash's chair to seek protection.

Just when Ashe really thought that she just needed to sit here, Elise drew her hand again and placed an equipment card on the Drow Ranger's Spirit card again.

In an instant, a set of quivers appeared at the lower back of the drow ranger.

The gigantic spirit seemed to have anticipated this. It pinched the quiver with two fingers and pulled out an arrow as sharp as an armor-piercing cone.

Drawing the bow, putting the arrow on it, and letting go, these smooth movements seemed to have been rehearsed millions of times.

The armor-piercing arrow was also quite powerful. It actually pierced through the spider elf's lower body shell, leaving a hideous wound.

"Damn it! You stupid guy, why don't you draw a card to assist me!"

Perhaps because it was really beaten badly by the drow ranger, the spider elf stopped fighting and turned around to roar at Ashe.

Ashe's body trembled for no reason, then she quickly drew cards from her deck and chose one of them to arm the Spider Elf.

But her luck this time was obviously not very good, as it was just a relatively ordinary accessory that permanently increased the mage's shield.

It can still be of some use to the opponent's ordinary flying props, but the arrows shot by the Drow Ranger are not effective.

One step slow, every step slow.

Relying on the initial advantage, Iris advanced step by step, constantly adding new wounds on the spider elf's body.

The more panicked Ashe is, the less useful the cards she draws will be.

In the end, she could only barely use the healing cards to make up for her previous mistakes.

But in the end, the spirit of the spider elf still died.

On the real poker table, Ashe shuddered all over and woke up from her spiritual world.

Her health points have returned to zero, and the phantom of the spider elf attached to the spirit card is slowly dissipating.

Everything that just happened seemed like a dream, but it seemed extremely real.

But even though she had clearly lost the game, she inexplicably felt her heart lighten for no apparent reason, as if a heavy stone that had been weighing on her heart for years had suddenly shattered.

At the same time, she looked at Iris in front of her with more favor and was no longer as wary as before.

"Okay, the game is over. There are other games to come. Little sister Ashe is only one valid victory away from advancing to the next round. Come on!"

…

Back to the present, Ashe looked at Lauren, who used to have a good relationship with her, and couldn't help but persuade her: "You were too close to me before. Those usurpers may attack you. Lauren, my best friend, don't work for the Rose Cult anymore. It is bound to be unrewarding!"

Hearing this, the spiritual power in Lauren's eyes actually lit up again.

"Reward? No! I'm not after something so superficial! What I want is to make the drow stronger! In recent years, humans are gradually encroaching on the living space of the drow. If the drow don't adapt, they will be enslaved like their ancestors sooner or later!"

Just as Lauren was saying these words righteously, Elise suddenly reached out and took out a set of Spirit Cards from Lauren's clothes.

Elise asked calmly while checking the composition of the deck.

Lauren pursed her lips slightly, but still argued, "The promotion speed of the drow is far slower than that of humans. If we don't take shortcuts, we will be replaced soon."

Iris was about to speak, but her face suddenly darkened.

The psychic energy in her and Lauren's eyes was extinguished instantly. Although they were still able to use psychic energy, they seemed to have lost the connection with the magic network and could no longer cast spells.

Immediately afterwards, chaotic footsteps were heard in the corridor.

"This is the NCPD! Open the door!"

Almost at the same time as these words were spoken, a drow from Obsidian City had already used the tools in his hands to force open the door of the apartment.

The drow armed with hot weapons and bows and crossbows filed in, with more than a dozen weapons aimed at the three people in the room, in a well-trained manner.

Seeing that the people in the room turned out to be the same kind, the leader of the Terrorist Mobile Squad frowned slightly.

"Humph, it's you shameless guys again. You have brought disgrace upon Zhuo'er! Kneel on the ground with your hands clasped behind your head! If you dare to resist, I will hit you right now!"

There was no trace of the sentiment of "fellow villagers meeting and tears welling up in their eyes" at all, and the team leader warned sternly.

Lauren wanted to resist, but as a psychic, most of her strength was in psychic powers and spells, and the current situation was very unfavorable for her.

The other drow nearby quickly took out something similar to a collar and put it around Lauren's neck without giving her a chance to resist.

Elise and Ashe unfortunately suffered the same treatment.

After confirming that the three people had put on their masks, the captain took out something and pressed it.

The next second, Iris and the other two felt the existence of the magic net again.

But just as Lauren was about to use psychic teleportation to escape, the collar around her neck suddenly generated a suction force, sucking away all the psychic energy she had gathered.

Seeing this, the captain of the Terrorist Mobile Team sneered and said:

"Don't waste your energy. This is a magic confinement collar invented by Lord Karl. It can absorb magic, spiritual energy, and qi. Let me tell you something good. If you keep trying, this thing will explode on your neck once it absorbs enough energy."

Hearing this, Lauren immediately stopped trying to destroy this thing with psychic power.

At this moment, Iris, who had always been very cooperative, said, "Hello, we are also Lord Karl's subordinates. We were just questioning this suspicious person. May I trouble you..."

With a gentle smile, Elise tried to get herself and Ashe out of their current predicament.

The team leader actually knew her. After all, she had come to Storm Bay with the convoy, so she had naturally seen this psychic who joined later.

"I'm sorry, but we have received orders to arrest everyone in this room. When we meet Lord Carl later, he should be able to untie them for you two."

With an apologetic smile, the team leader was well aware of the principle of non-stick pans and did not take it upon himself to let the other party off just because he had ridden in the same car with Carl.

Iris' smile froze for two seconds, then she nodded in understanding.
