"Five of Spades."
"Bigger than you, Ten of Clubs."
"King, I'll bet."
"Ace of Spades, you've lost."
"Don't waste your time, Ace of Diamonds."
"Oh, damn it!"
In a dimly lit cell, a few fairies were playing cards around a table. While they were playing cards, a faint quarrel could be heard from the next room.
.....
(It's all your fault, it's all your fault!)
(You're blaming me? If it wasn't for your stupid idea, we wouldn't have ended up like this.)
(If it wasn't for you injuring Kerrigan Burton, would they have locked us up?)
(If it wasn't for you keeping me in the hospital, would I have injured him?)
(I don't care, it's all your fault, it's all your fault!)
.....
At first, the fairies at the table could still tolerate it. But gradually, the quarrel grew louder and louder. One of the fairies who had lost money threw his cards away angrily and stood up. "Enough, those two little wizards are so noisy."
"Don't bother, let them be."
The fairies who had won money and smoked hugged the gold coins, smacked their lips, and said nonchalantly, "They can do whatever they want, as long as no one dies, it's none of our business."
"Hmph, both of them are idiots."
The female fairy took out two gold coins and threw them on the table. "Let's play another round."
So they started a new round of cards, but the quarrel over there did not stop.
(Bam bam bam bam!)
"What's that sound?" The female fairy was shocked and looked behind her.
"Fighting? The relationship between these wizards is really fragile. "
One of the fairies said coldly, "No wonder there's a war every day."
.....
(Bam!)
(Ah!!)
Then there was a shrill scream behind them.
(How dare you hit me, how dare you hit me!)
(Yes, I'm hitting you!)
(Ah, let go of me!)
(Stupid girl, I've tolerated you for a long time!)
.....
The four fairies who were playing cards fell silent. They looked at each other, the battle seemed to be more intense than they had imagined.
The demoness grabbed the lantern and said, "Let's go take a look."
The four fairies stood up and quickly walked towards the cage. When they reached the cage, they were stunned. The two little wizards that they locked up in the cage had somehow gotten into a scuffle. They were verbally insulting each other and physically hurting each other.
The girl was beaten black and blue, while the boy had ten bloody scratches on his face. The two glared at each other, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
The ground was splattered with blood, and the broken legs of tables and chairs were everywhere.
"Let go!"
The demoness screamed, "Quick, go in and pull that boy away. That boy has violent tendencies."
The three male demons rushed into the cell and forcibly tore the two people apart.
Without another word, he pulled out a chain and tied Hoffa up.
Electric current flowed through the chain, making Hoffa's scalp numb.
However, it was only limited to numbness on his scalp. Because he had the Thunderbird Magic Power in his body, this electric current was undoubtedly like a tickle to him. It was even quite comfortable. However, he had to pretend that he was electrocuted. He rolled on the ground, rolled his eyes, drooled, and his body twitched.
At this moment, Aglaea, whose face was bruised and swollen, suddenly hugged the female demon, grabbed her clothes, and complained tearfully, "
"Take me away, take me away from here, quick! I'll do whatever you want me to do … I've had enough of this lunatic! "
The demoness kicked Hoffa and scolded Aglaia, "Shut up, you have bad taste to be friends with this kind of person!"
Aglaia cried out, tears rolling down her face. She even tried to wipe her tears on the demoness' shoulder. She was in a state of mental breakdown due to stress.
A look of disdain flashed across the demoness' face. She pushed Aglaia away, but still said, "Take her away for treatment. Watch her, don't let her escape."
The male demons obeyed the order and carried Aglaia out of the cell quickly.
Only Huo Fa and the demoness were left in the cage. The demoness rubbed her chin and circled around Huo Fa who was tied up. She searched him up and down for quite a while.
Suddenly, she asked, "Are you up to something?"
Hoffa spat at her.
She was furious and kicked Hoffa's head, "I don't think you dare, wait to be fed to the dragon. Trash. "
After kicking Hoffa for a while, she picked up the lantern and left the cell with her head held high. The cage was locked up again, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness and silence.
The electric current on the chain gradually disappeared. Hoffa struggled for a moment. He didn't break free.
He opened his mental force field. The ground began to wriggle, and three iron palms grew out of the ground like mushrooms. The palms opened, and a golden Sparkle key was actually held in the palm.
It was the key to this cell. Aglaia stole it from the demoness when she was putting on a tragic act. It had to be said that this guy really had a talent for being a thief.
He had originally wanted Aglaia to steal the key and distract the demoness, so that he could open the cell and find her, and then the two of them would leave Heltzburg together.
However, being chained up by the demoness was not part of his plan.
Now, there were less than three minutes before the next spray of the anti-magic potion arrived. After three minutes, he would inevitably lose his magic power again, and the demoness would soon discover that her key had been stolen.
He had to end this quickly.
Because his hands were bound, he could only use his mental force field to control the key on the ground to unlock the chains on his body.
This was a great test for Hoffa's control of magic. Before this, he had always used Grasp of Crushing to control his opponents, and had never performed such a delicate and precise operation.
Not to mention that the keyhole on the chain was only a few millimeters in diameter, even controlling the transformation spell to hold the key firmly was an extremely painful task.
The ground had no nerves, so he couldn't control his strength at all. If he was a little lighter, the key would fall to the ground and have to be picked up again. If he was a little heavier, the key made of pure gold would immediately bend.
This feeling was no less than operating a claw machine to catch an egg. Coupled with the darkness around, one could imagine the difficulty.
There were only two minutes left.
The trembling iron hand on the ground had no intention of aiming at the keyhole at all. It slid around the keyhole, but just couldn't get in.
Damn it! Why did he have to lock himself up?
Hoffa struggled for a moment, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
He took a deep breath and entered a state of meditation. Although meditation greatly improved his mental strength, this time, it still wasn't enough for such a delicate operation.
At this moment, he began to miss his magic wand. It was as easy to control as his own arm. If he still had his magic wand, he could easily change it into any shape. Even if it was a key …
There was only one minute left before the next anti-magic potion.
Hoffa couldn't even touch the door of the escape room. One could imagine the anxiety in his heart.
There were thirty seconds left before the potion arrived.
At this moment, in the calm sea of consciousness, a face surfaced and quickly began to split.
Hoffa's mind was in a trance for a moment. Bright colors flashed in front of his eyes, and all his emotions were quickly cut off. He became strangely indifferent.
The iron hand on the ground that was difficult to control instantly became like his own palm. It neatly inserted itself into the keyhole and opened the chain with unimaginable precision.
At the same time, at the top of the dark cell, the showerhead opened again. The anti-magic spray with a faint bitter almond smell came as expected.
Hoffa broke free from the chains and stood up. The wounds on his face quickly healed under his activated skin. He moved his head. He pinched his nose, picked up the key, and quickly opened the cell door.
After running out of the anti-magic potion's range, the indifference disappeared. Hoffa looked at the key in his palm and was slightly stunned.
What was this? Did the pressure cause him to break through his limit? His mental strength was clearly not enough to control the key. Why did it suddenly become enough?
After thinking for a long time, he even checked his body, but he didn't find anything strange.
Finding nothing, he turned around and disappeared from the material world with Ghost Walk. He followed Aglaia's magical wave to find it.
.....
These fairies probably had a natural fondness for caves. They built these caves in all directions and the structure was extremely complicated.
Different things were placed in different caves. There were magical materials, mystical creatures, and even controlled items from Muggles such as guns and poppies. These fairies really did all kinds of business.
After walking for a few minutes in the cave, Hoffa saw the female fairy who locked him up.
She was holding a lantern and walking forward while twisting left and right. She didn't notice the guy who was quickly approaching from behind.
When Huo Fa was about five meters away from her, he realized that something was wrong and turned his head abruptly. She held the lantern and shone it around.
Her hand reached for her waist and searched for the key in her pocket for a few seconds.
Hmm … How …
Her expression changed and she almost immediately rushed back. Just as she turned around, a slender hand reached out from behind and pressed down on the female fairy's ponytailed head.
It saw a pair of pale golden eyes behind it. It didn't know when that fellow had circled behind it. It wanted to scream, but its mouth was covered. Huo Fa let go of his hand and caught the falling lantern in the demoness' hand.
He said lightly, "Sorry."
The fairy's head made close contact with the wall beside her and she fainted on the spot.
Holding the lantern, Hoffa looked around.
At this moment, he had already walked out of the cell in the cave. The surroundings were no longer as primitive as the cell. These fairies were also quite particular about where they lived. This was a rectangular hall with slanted corners. It was twenty meters long, six meters wide, and more than ten meters long. The ceiling was decorated with arabesque patterns and emitted a bright and gentle magical light, illuminating the collection in this room.
There were more than 30 famous paintings made by masters decorating the wall with carved patterns. The format of the paintings was the same, and there was a shining shield-shaped plate between each painting. Hoffa also saw some extremely expensive paintings, some of which he had admired in his previous life's junior high art textbooks.
Van Gogh's Starry Night, Monet's Cathedral, Titian's painting of an unknown woman … He didn't know if it was real or fake.
Although it wasn't a good time to admire the paintings, he still held the lantern and walked around the paintings for a while. After all, he had never seen so many paintings piled together.
Among them, Hoffa saw that in the center of these fairies' collection, there was a huge oil painting. It was much, much bigger than the other paintings around him.
The colors in the oil painting were extremely gorgeous. At first glance, Hoffa thought that it was an abstract painting painted by a madman. But upon closer inspection, it wasn't.
The painting depicted a huge, multicolored dragon. Its shape was distorted and grotesque. Sitting at the top of a cliff, surrounded by nothingness and paleness, the dragon's expression was lonely, as if the human world wasn't worth it.
Hoffa didn't know why he could see human emotions on the dragon's face. He didn't know at all. But without a doubt, this was the feeling that the oil painting conveyed to him.
Just as he was looking, he heard faint voices coming from afar.
(That little girl is not bad looking. She should have the blood of a charming child.)
(That's right. If you ask me, Ralfa should sell her. Maybe he can get a good price.)
Hoffa was shocked. He immediately extinguished the lantern and hid in a corner. But after hearing the voice for a long time, no one came. Hoffa straightened his body and slowly slipped towards the direction of the voice. Turning around the corner, he saw the two fairies who were playing cards earlier standing near a room and chatting.
"Sell it for money? She can't sell it for money. Recently, those foreign Magi have become smarter. They like to play some barter game. It seems like they don't need gold anymore."
"Really?"
"Lie to you? Some time ago, a group of Eastern Magi used fireballs to exchange for a batch of potions. "
"Hmph, bringing back a bunch of dragons. If there's no treasure to guard, then what's the point? There are fewer and fewer people buying our insurance. This month's income dropped by 30% compared to last month! "
"In the end, it's because we don't have enough potions. Those Magi aren't fools. Seeing that our potions are getting lesser and lesser, they won't be fooled anymore."
"Won't be fooled? Hmph, next time, tell the ring to pull those protesting Magi away. Don't let them affect our business here. "
"Pull them where?"
"Let them go to Gringotts to get the potions. When they arrive, throw them underground. Save them the trouble of buying food for those fire dragons."
"But won't it be troublesome if those family members come looking for us?"
"Just say that it was the Germans who killed them. These days, thousands of people die. Who cares?"
