Chapter 739
Seeing that it was Iritina that had arrived, the handsome, noble face of Arms first betrayed a trace of awkwardness. He then got up and put on a forced smile, “My Iri Baby, didn’t you go look for a shelter you’d like? How did it go? Did you find anything?”
“Hmph! To think of how great you talked about Lance. I only just realized that this place is already stuffed full with dragons,” Iritina’s face was full of resentment, “I’ve flown for over five thousand kilometers, and I did find one or two places I’m happy with. However, those places already have owners. I can’t even find a single piece of land without an owner!”
Arms quickly went forth and embraced his sweetheart’s slender waist when he saw how angry she was.
“Didn’t I already tell you? It doesn’t matter if there’s an owner already. Just come back and tell me if you have a place you like. As long as it isn’t a direct subordinate of one of those Fourth Grade big bosses, this lord will help you take their land!”
“You mean it?” It was only upon hearing this that Iritina’s cold face finally showed a trace of joy.
“Of course!” Arms couldn’t help but pat his chest and start boasting again, “You’ve been in Lance for a while already. You should have witnessed this lord’s might and influence here. As long as I’ve given my word, there will be no problems.”
“You better be telling the truth, otherwise…” Iritina looked around at the skimpily-dressed elven girls on the platform. A slender hand silently pinched the fat on Arms’ waist, “I’ll have a good settling of this deal with you.”
Arms might have excellent Physique, but even he can’t deal with such a penetrative ‘close-ranged attack.’ He could only put on a smile and fawn, “Of course, of course. As long as it’s something my baby says she wants, I will definitely get it for her!”
“That’s good,” A somewhat meaningful smile surfaced on Snowlotus’ face: “Don’t try and save those companions of yours again. Otherwise, even I won’t be able to save you when you break the rules of the tower!”
Faelin’s already freezing body trembled once again.
Here in this evil tower where adepts reigned supreme, the forest elves were no more than maids and toys that served and attended to them. Any forest elf that dared to rebel would not meet a good end. Punishment from the adepts would be getting off lightly. Severe offenses would be met with execution. That was before the body and soul of the offender was transformed into some sort of corpse princess that resembled undead creatures.
Ever since she became Lady Snowlotus’ maid, Faelin had already witnessed three of her companions punished at the hands of the adepts and turned into cold and undead corpse princesses that could only obey orders. Even more tragic was seeing the souls of her three companions trapped within their original bodies through magic, forced to live a life of suffering every single day.
“My Lady, as long as you can help liberate my three companions from their suffering, I…I will forever obey you!” Faelin bit her frozen lips so forcefully that a streak of blood slowly dripped down her chin. However, Faelin seemed unaware of her wound and continued to prostrate herself before Snowlotus, even as she shivered.
“You still haven’t understood yet!” Snowlotus shook her head as she spoke, her cold eyes without a trace of sympathy, “You are my property in the first place. What use is it to ask a wish of me? Moreover, those corpse princesses are the properties of other adepts. They are not things I can simply take away from them!”
“My Lady…”
“Enough!” Snowlotus rejected decisively, but her tone immediately softened, “However, recently I do have a magical experiment I need to do. I still lack a willing experimental subject. If you can suggest a qualified subject to me, I might be able to help you purchase them.”
“I’m willing…I’m willing.” Faelin abruptly lifted her lowered head, “My Lady, use me for the experiment, please! As long as you can liberate their souls, I am willing to become your experimental subject!”
“This experiment will hurt a great deal.”
“I am not afraid!” Faelin’s face was filled with determination and grit.
“Very well!” Snowlotus sighed, “Since you are so determined, I will give you a try! Your three companions will most definitely be liberated once the experiment is finished.”
Having said that, Snowlotus walked into the tower without expression on her face.
Behind her, a single teardrop flowed down Faelin’s determined eyes.
Sadly, the teardrop froze into a bead of ice before it even left her face, smashing against the cold floor of the balcony and shattering into a million pieces.
Eighth Floor of the White Tower. Magical Hall.
Meryl, who was surrounded by a large group of elven servants and magical golems, suddenly lifted her head and looked at Snowlotus, who had walked into the room. She couldn’t help but laugh softly, “Lady Snowlotus, you’ve finally come! I was just thinking of discussing the matter of moving citizens into our lands with you.”
Meanwhile, Old Fox Vanlier was also in a noble’s butler attire. He was busy dealing with documents and messages. Seeing that the two witch ladies had something to talk about, he waved his hand, and the elven maids in the room promptly exited without a sound.
