"Honorable Sir, your companions have returned safely. This is truly a joyous occasion. How can the illusion of the Rainbow House withstand Milord's divine might? " In order to convince Angor that it had truly surrendered, Shrek took every opportunity to flatter Angor.
"It's just a small matter. What's there to congratulate me about? Or do you really want this to become a big deal? Um … I hope none of them come back? "
Shrek hurriedly shook its head. "How can that be? No way! I've never thought of it that way. I'm about to become your most loyal servant, sir. Of course I want everything to be fine. "
"Is that so?"
He then took out a parchment scroll that glowed faintly in his hand.
"No need for 'soon'. You can become my servant right now, as long as you sign this contract."
Various runes appeared on the parchment scroll. Shrek couldn't see what they meant, but it sensed the special binding power of the contract.
Shrek looked at the glowing contract and suddenly froze.
"What? You don't want to? It seems like what you said before was all a lie … "
Shrek suddenly interrupted Angor with a sad look. "Please don't misunderstand, sir. It's not that I don't want to sign the contract. I can become the door spirit of the Empress' room because I signed a contract with the Empress. Yes, that evil woman has bound me. "
Seeing Angor's narrowed eyes, Shrek quickly added, "But I won't bow to that monster forever. I tricked Her Highness, who was only three years old at the time, into signing a contract with me. It wasn't a master-servant contract. It was an equal contract."
Angor secretly praised Shrek's reaction. However, he still maintained a calm expression. "In other words, you can't sign a contract with me."
"Even if I can't, I'm willing to become your most humble servant, sir."
Shrek paused and continued, "If you think you can only trust me after signing the contract, sir, perhaps you can talk to Her Highness and cancel the contract."
"There's no way we can negotiate. If I go to the princess, we'll have to fight to the death. But I think Her Highness' death can also cancel your 'equal contract'. "
Shrek suppressed his excitement and nodded. "Is that so?
That's one way to cancel the contract. "
Shrek tried his best to control his emotions, but Angor still noticed it. "You're excited?"
"Um … me?
I-I'm excited about escaping from Her Highness' evil clutches. "
"Is that so?" Angor answered casually.
Angor replied casually and turned around. This was because Ms. Merlot and the group of talents had already walked over.
Were the expressions of the talented people different from one another?
But they all seemed to be glad. They didn't have a good experience..
"Sir, we're all here," Lady Merlo spoke.
Angor nodded. "Just right?
"Gray Raven down" s for real.....
In two, they'll be here in two minutes.. "
Angor …
The group of talents looked anxious. Ms. Merlot could not help but ask, "Then should we leave now?"
"Not yet. Those two are still changing their clothes. Also, I need you to do something for me."
Ms. Merlot immediately said, "Sir?
What is it? "
Angor took out a wooden plate from his bracelet.
And a carving pen?
He quickly drew several runes and lines on the plate.
"Is this a magic array?" Lady Merlo didn't understand what was going on. But something didn't feel right about it.
When Lady Merlo mentioned a magic array, Shrek realized something.
On the other side, Shrek's expression changed slightly. This Magus also knows about magic arrays?
"It's not a magic array. It's just something that can temporarily deceive the energy circuits of a magic array." Angor handed the plate to Lady Merlo. "Insert this into the hole on the door. The one the door spirit came out from."
There's a magic array here, sir? Lady Merlo was puzzled. Shrek didn't mention anything about it.
Still, she didn't ask any questions. She took the plate and headed for the door.
Just as Madam Merlot took a few steps forward, Shrek transformed into an arrow of light and tried to rush towards her.
But before it could reach Lady Merlot, it was blocked by an invisible wall of wind. Of course, the wall was made by the Speed Spirit.
Madam Merlot heard the commotion behind her and turned around to take a look. She seemed to understand something when she saw Shrek's ferocious expression again. She smiled and continued to walk toward the door.
Inside the wind wall, Shrek heard Angor's voice.
"So you're not excited because you want to run away from the princess. You want me to fight her face to face, right? "
Angor approached Shrek and looked at him with a calm expression.
Shrek took a deep breath and retracted his ferocious expression. He put on a fawning expression again. "Sir, I …"
"Stop pretending. When you told Lady Merlo about the trap, you didn't mention that there's a magic array here. I already know a lot of the answers."
Angor pointed out the truth and praised, "I know, but I think you did a good job at acting. Especially after I took out the contract, your reaction, plus your performance of suppressing your desire, were all very good. You're even better than that young demon king over there. Of course, in terms of contrast and storytelling, I'm more impressed by the young demon king. "
Shrek's expression darkened when it heard Angor calling its previous actions a performance.
"You're all going to die!"
"You can't escape. The magic array here is stronger than you can imagine! You should have already seen the magic array in the prison. The magic array here is countless times stronger than the one in the prison. You definitely won't be able to escape! "
As if to boost his confidence, Shrek repeated the phrase "you can't escape" twice in a row.
Angor nodded. "You're right. The magic array here is stronger than the one in the prison."
In the prison, Angor only needed to use a poker card to block the energy flow of the magic array. The magic array here, on the other hand, required a corresponding array disk to deceive the energy flow of the array. Angor could tell that the two arrays were not on the same level.
"This magic array has a lot of runes related to bloodlines and souls. It's strangely familiar."
When Angor analyzed the Crimson Crown, he also found many runes related to bloodlines and souls. The runes here were different, but they gave him a similar feeling.
"This is a magic array that requires the bloodline of the Goman Royal Family to activate, right? Do you want me to face the Empress directly because she can make the magic array more effective? "
Shrek stared at Angor in shock. It had been following Angor since they entered the room. Angor barely moved at all. How did he know about the magic array here? And how did he know how to activate it?
"Don't look at me like that. It's embarrassing. I prefer to watch you put on a show." "By the way, you haven't answered my question yet. Is this the secret of the princess?"
Shrek didn't say anything.
"So I was right."
"Bloodline, soul, magic array, and the ability to make Gray Crow Magus have no choice but to listen to her … It seems that the threat level of the princess in this castle is much stronger than I thought. But she doesn't seem to know much about it. "
If the princess was stronger, she would have noticed Dorcas coming in earlier.
"Oh, I have another question. Do you need both the bloodline and the soul of the royal family to activate the magic array, or only one of them?" Angor looked at Shrek.
Shrek remained silent, as if he were waiting for something.
Not far away, Madam Merlot successfully embedded the disc into the hole. The moment the two joined, the magic circle hidden in the room was revealed. It flickered with a faint light, and the patterns were clear.
Soon, the glowing patterns dimmed down, while the disk Lady Merlot placed on the hole was still glowing.
Seeing this scene, Shrek was completely surrounded by gloomy and gloomy emotions.
Clearly, it had confirmed that the magic array here had been deceived.
Now that the last thing it relied on was gone, Shrek already knew what would happen to it.
Therefore, Shrek decided not to cooperate with Angor's question.
Angor wasn't annoyed. "It's fine if you don't want to talk. But I didn't expect the magic array to reveal all the hidden runes. It's a little complicated, but I don't think I need to get the answer from you."
Just then, Ms. Mello came back.
Angor nodded to her. "Gray Raven is about to destroy the second floor. We should leave now. But since we're already here, why don't we leave a gift for the princess before we go? "
Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Angor took out a glowing potion bottle and walked toward Shrek.
A moment later, under Shrek's horrified gaze, Angor opened the Gate of Illusion.
Without the magic array, the Illusion Gate could lead them to the outside of the castle.
Seeing the hope of freedom, everyone became excited and filed out of the room. Angor was the last one to leave. When everyone was gone, he waved at Shrek.
He mouthed silently, "Goodbye, or should I say, farewell forever."
…
Half a minute after Angor left, a girl wearing a pink princess dress rushed into the room.
This girl looked harmless on the outside, but anyone who had heard a little about her would know that under that harmless appearance, there was an incomparably dirty and dark heart.
She was the owner of this castle, the princess.
The princess screamed as soon as she entered the room. "My pet! Where's my pet?! Also, my canvas, my canvas is gone too! "
The Queen screamed hysterically. That white and tender boy was a pet that she had her eyes on for a long time. As for the boy with bandages on his hand, she had already reserved his skin. That was her canvas!
But now, her pet was gone, and so was her canvas!
A violent aura was released from the princess' body. This aura faintly fused with the surrounding magic array, causing the magic array to emit an incomparably terrifying pressure.
At the same time, the round plate Angor placed on the door fell to the ground. It was clear that when the Magic Array met its true master, the deceiving method would be rejected immediately.
As the princess continued to use the array's power, Wizard Gray Raven quietly walked up and picked up the plate from the ground.
With just a glance, he knew that there was definitely a Master-level mageweath expert among them.
Someone like that couldn't be a nobody.
Gray Raven felt lucky that he didn't use his full strength when breaking the illusion on the second floor. Otherwise, if something were to happen to a Mageweath Master, it would affect countless powerhouses.
Gray Raven didn't think that the princess' magic array could defeat a Runemaster. However, he was sure that the princess could use the magic array to unleash its full potential.
As Gray Raven pondered, the princess came to him in a huff.
"What is this? Let me see it. "
Gray Raven frowned when he heard the princess' voice, which sounded like an order that couldn't be denied. However, Gray Raven didn't say anything and simply handed the plate to her.
Although the princess was young and had a vicious heart, she was definitely not stupid. She knew what Gray Raven could think of after seeing the plate.
However, the princess didn't care about the identity of a Runemaster at all. She only wanted to find the culprit and tear him into pieces in the most horrible way possible.
Before that, she needed to know who the intruder was.
"Tell me, who took my pet away?" The first person Princess questioned was Gray Crow.
"I came here with you. If you don't know, how am I supposed to know?"
"An illusion on the second floor, and a magic array on the third floor. Who can you think of?"
Gray Raven did have several candidates in mind, but he still said, "I don't know. But the illusions on the second floor can't be considered as a clue because anyone can buy illusion scrolls or magic arrays. "
Only this array plate that was drawn at the last minute confirmed that the intruder was a Runemaster.
However, while there weren't many Runemasters in the southern region, there were still quite a few of them. Furthermore, they all had many connections. It was difficult to confirm who the intruder was.
The princess couldn't get any information from Gray Raven, so she slowly turned to the pink python in the corner.
She didn't hesitate and walked towards it.
However, the pink python shook its head at her.
The princess didn't know what it meant, and was even furious. "Shrek! How dare you shake your head at me! Are you betraying me?! "
The Empress stormed over to Shrek's side and reached out her hands in an attempt to strangle it.
However, just as her hand touched Shrek, an earth-shattering explosion sounded.
The explosion occurred within Shrek's body. Not only did it explode into smithereens, but a dark green fog also slowly diffused into the air at the same time …
