A few hours later.
In the Queen's playroom, Lola, who was soaking in the hot pool, stared at Tang En for a while before continuing to wash her daughter's hair as if nothing had happened.
Tang En's entire body was soaking in the water. To be honest, he didn't care earlier, but after it was over, he was not used to this kind of frank treatment — — especially since it was the first time they had met.
It was all the Goddess of Eternal Darkness' fault that led to this!
Although she had left the Compulsive Desire Girdle behind and had even enhanced it just now, which could be considered as a reward for Tang En — it was precisely because of this that Tang En felt as if he had come out to sell himself.
Lola casually said: "The Goddess has left, but before she left, she left behind orders that we dark elves can cooperate with you — — although I don't know what she meant by 'cooperate,' I believe that as long as we agree to help you and follow you, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
It's here!
Tang En nodded, held back the surprise in his heart, and calmly said: "Become my followers, and I will not treat you unfairly. More importantly, what I want to do will require your strength"
"Since it is the Goddess' order, we will agree. But, you must at least understand what you want us to do"
Lola stopped what she was doing and stared straight into Tang En's eyes: "I must at least know what the goal of the master that my people serve is"
Tang En shrugged: "If I say that I want to save the world, would you believe me?"
"… This joke isn't funny"
"Haha, it seems that I'm not suitable for jokes"
Tang En silently sighed, then said: "What I want to do is very simple. Popularize magical creations for everyone to use and promote this convenient power to the entire world. The production and manufacturing of some things is more convenient here, but of course, I won't make you work for nothing. I know that you don't need gold coins, so I will provide you with plenty of food and various wonderful magical products in return"
"Sounds like a very good proposal"
Lola nodded: "I can promise you for now, but we can talk about the details later"
Tang En sighed in relief.
"Mother!"
Rowling was very dissatisfied. "I'm the queen now!"
Lola casually pressed her down and bluntly said, "Wait until you truly look like a queen before you say that to me."
After bathing, the three of them returned to the throne room. Looking at the people who were still standing there stiffly, Lola suddenly laughed and said with a smile, "Ah, sorry, because it happened so suddenly, I forgot about you."
With a snap of Laura's fingers, everyone regained their freedom.
"Sir Lord!"
Fiona ran to Tang En's side and grabbed his hand. She stared at him for a long time before saying, "They … didn't do anything to you, did they?"
Fiona's heart was filled with bitterness. She had been taken out for so long, how could nothing have happened? However, she only asked this to comfort herself.
"Yes, don't worry. After a long talk with the goddess, she has already left."
Tang En touched his nose and said as if nothing had happened: "What happened before was a misunderstanding. It's fine now that the misunderstanding has been resolved."
"Misunderstanding … It's a misunderstanding … If it's a misunderstanding … it can solve my problem here …"
Yi Luli looked at Tang En with a face full of resentment. She was considered the most innocent among all of them. Seeing that everyone else had happily resolved the misunderstanding and reconciled, her resentment was about to break through the sky.
It was fine just now because she was bound, so she didn't feel anything. However, now that she had regained her freedom and Tang En appeared, Eluri couldn't control her impulse to get close to him. There was always an instinct from the depths of her heart that told her to go over and submit to Tang En. This was what she should do.
Resisting this instinct was a very painful thing — — because it was actually going against yourself. You knew that it was your own idea, but it shouldn't be your own idea because it was impossible for you to have that kind of idea. It was very contradictory, but it could only be described as such.
"This …"
Tang En said with an embarrassed expression: "I can't undo the effect of the enslavement scroll …"
"What!?"
Eluri exclaimed and subconsciously grabbed Tang En, but then, an instinct controlled her to hurriedly let go of her hand, took half a step back, and plopped down in front of Tang En: "Sorry! Master, Eluri has been rude! Please punish me, Master! "
The group was all dumbfounded.
After coming back to her senses, Yi Luli was so anxious that she almost cried. This wasn't something that she could do!
However, her consciousness was very clear that she couldn't control her own actions!
"This …"
Tang En was so anxious that he was sweating. If the Radiant Church knew that he had turned their Saintess into his slave, Ellington would probably be flattened by the fanatical believers in minutes. Playing this kind of Saintess in a world where a true god existed was too risky.
"I think you don't have to worry."
In the end, it was Fiona who came to comfort Eluri: "Although you are bound by the contract, the Lord is a good person. He won't order you to do anything strange, right?"
Tang En nodded of course and added: "You just need to control your impulses now. Don't worry about me, I can guarantee that I won't give you any strange orders. When we return to the surface world, you can ask the Pope to try to purify it. Or wait for Lyon to recover his strength and let him use God's Descent to try to purify it."
Eluri could only accept her fate. The only thing that was worth rejoicing about now was that the other party of the contract was Tang En and not some random person.
From Tang En's attitude towards his people, Eluri could see that he was a really kind and good person, so it was not too bad for the time being.
Lola clapped her hands and said: "I'm very sorry about what happened just now. As the host, I need to express my apologies to all of you. Therefore, all my guests, tonight, I will be hosting a banquet in the palace to entertain all of you …"
Hearing that Lola was going to host a banquet, Fiona, Elsa, Brian and the others thought of the dishes they had seen at Barod's place. Their expressions became very subtle.
Lola frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
Tang En said with a subtle expression: "Probably … They are not used to the food habits of the Underworld."
"That's too rude!"
Rowling said with dissatisfaction, "Although our food isn't as plentiful as the underground world, we have our own specialties. Don't compare us to the dwarves of Red Rock Cave. Don't look down on the culinary skills of us dark elves!"
Rowling's words made Tang En and the others feel a little expectant.
But the banquet in the evening completely shattered their expectations.
Seeing those unknown dishes, Tang En finally felt that he had found something related to the word "Dark" from the Dark Elves.
That was Dark Cuisine.
"Why aren't they eating?"
Lola elegantly savored the soda provided by Tang En and said with a smile: "That salt-roasted Wyvern meat is a very precious ingredient. Eating it can strengthen the body and is very beneficial for men."
Tang En looked at the so-called salt-roasted Wyvern meat that was roasted like charcoal and sprinkled with a thick layer of mineral salt. He broke out in a cold sweat.
It could be said that such a precious ingredient could be made into a dish like this.
After everyone forced themselves to eat a few mouthfuls, they really could not take it anymore. They all stared at Twain, especially Eliya. She had just eaten a mouthful of something strange, and now she was about to cry.
"Okay, okay, I got it."
In the end, Tang En took out the food he had prepared in advance and rewarded everyone.
"Master, please enjoy your meal."
"Oh, thank you … That's not right!"
After Tang En subconsciously finished speaking, he came back to his senses with a stupefied look on his face. He and Yi Luli looked at each other in dismay. The piece of barbecued meat in Yi Luli's hand still had her teeth marks.
Eluri was also dumbfounded. After Tang En took out the food, she finally had some appetite. But when she took a bite and saw Tang En, she couldn't help but run over …
"Don't look at me."
Tang En said with a wry smile: "I guess the contract will take effect as soon as you see me."
Eluri nodded with her eyes closed. It took her a lot of effort to divert her attention.
"How interesting."
Lola shook the soda bottle and looked at Eluri's back with interest: "You're not interested in the Saintess of Yerbierni?"
"Do you think I'm like you, unable to leave that kind of thing for a day?"
Tang En glared at her with a little embarrassment and anger. He rubbed his waist subconsciously and then said: "Compared to the unlucky Eluri, I'm actually more concerned about another person now."
"That little girl named Elijah."
Lola followed Tang En's line of sight and looked over: "I thought it was strange from the beginning. She had an aura that attracted me. As expected."
"I had some guesses about her identity from the beginning. Today, I just confirmed my guess. But what I want to know is what the Goddess of Eternal Darkness, who used your body to descend today, said to the other consciousness in Elijah's body."
Tang En frowned. Although he already knew his mission, he had too little direct contact with the gods. The conversation between them might reveal some important information …
"Sorry, I can't help you with that."
Lola shook her head: "After God's Descent, I gave my entire body to the goddess. I don't know what they said at all. Even if I know, I can't repeat the words of the gods. Only the gods can make prophecies, mortals can't understand the meaning."
Tang En sighed. No matter what, at least now he was sure of one thing. In Elijah's body, there really was a goddess. No, perhaps it should be said that she was a goddess herself.
And the most terrifying goddess in the legends.
The Lady of Calamity whose name no one dared to mention.
