Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 254: Commissioning Adventurers

"You mean, Moreno went to that damn place just to find the resurrection tablet?" The female dwarf who had been silent among the trio inserted the dagger into the table viciously, gritting her teeth.

"It's not enough that his bitch sister killed your brother, but she also put Moreno in danger?"

There was a flame of jealousy in the dwarf's eyes, and the face that had been hidden in the hood was revealed.

A seemingly youthful and lovely face was ruined by two long scars. The flesh-colored marks like centipede made her overall temperament look fierce.

Facing the dwarf's accusation, the dwarf fell silent, and whispered in a weak voice: "Don't blame Aisha, she is a kind person, and it was not her intention for such a thing to happen."

The female dwarf looked at the dwarf with a "you're ridiculous" expression on her face. She felt as disgusted as if she had eaten shit. She was clearly speaking for Hammerir, so why was she the one being blamed?

Even the man who was arguing with the dwarf frowned and said, "Ebis, that's enough. Aisha is dead, why are you still saying bad things about her?"

The man's words were like a match that lit a gasoline tank. The female dwarf Ebis immediately flew into a rage and started quarreling.

Nemesis watched them quarreling with great interest while drinking the sweet and sour black chestnut wine.

This is a habit that most dragons cannot get rid of - the love of gossip.

"I said something bad about her? Cade, is your head filled with brains? I think it's shit. Ever since Moreno's so-called sister joined our team, bad luck has been like a fucking bloody sanitary napkin that can't be shaken off!"

Erbis smashed the wine glass in her hand towards the man's head like a madman, and a big bump appeared on the man's head with a "bang".

The man howled, holding his forehead, blood oozing out from between his fingers. He angrily said, "You lunatic! Why did you hit me?"

Erbis sneered as he took off his hood, pointed at the scars on his face and said, "These two scars were left when I tried to save her when Dagger Beach was invaded by demons."

She pointed at the dwarf again: "Hylir's brother died in the Underdark trying to save her!"

Erbis sneered and said, "Am I wrong? Damn bitch, as long as she is here, the whole team will be plagued by bad luck."

Cade covered his forehead with his hands, feeling dizzy, and said without restraint: "Haha, I think you are just jealous of Aisha! Don't think I don't know that you have always liked Moreno. Ever since Aisha came, you have been targeting her everywhere!"

"Shut up!!" Ibis screamed and wrestled with Cade. All the guests in the tavern watched their farce and shouted, making the scene extremely lively.

The dwarf named Hammeril looked at the crowd watching the show with a red face and shouted angrily: "Enough! What we have to discuss now is to save Moreno!"

Hammeril seemed to have quite a lot of prestige among the three. The two fighting men stopped after pulling each other's hair and stealing peaches like a monkey.

Nemesis curled his lips in disappointment. Dwarves were indeed the most humorless and boring race in the world.

After Cade sat down, he took a deep breath, covered his aching balls and adjusted his breathing, "Even if I agree, how can you be sure that Moreno is still alive?"

The female dwarf at the side sneered and said, "Don't worry, he is just imprisoned in the Shadow Prison, that one."

As she spoke further, her voice became much softer, as if she didn't want people around her to hear.

"As long as no other mechanisms in that cemetery are activated, Moreno will be fine. I am more familiar with the power of shadows than you are. I told you at the beginning that the place where Moreno fell was a shadow prison. Creatures trapped inside will only be deprived of their power. Unless they die of starvation or thirst, their lives will not be in danger!"

The dwarf's voice was very low, almost a breath. But she didn't know that a scroll dragon nearby had pricked up its ears and eavesdropped on her words with its excellent hearing. Nemesis touched his chin, thinking.

Shadow Prison This appears to be an artificial prison built using shadow magic.

It sounds like these second-rate adventurers have been to a cemetery where shadow power exists?
This couldn't help but make Nemesis a little tempted.

After witnessing the power of the monster in his memory, the Scroll Dragon became very interested in this secret technique of manipulating shadows.

Coincidentally, Shadow Mysticism, like spells, also has a spell model. As a spell guardian, he can copy all spells, and Shadow Mysticism is naturally within his scope of use.

After all, it was still a few days before Shana's return, and he was already bored to death in the royal capital, so he might as well find something to do first.

"Thank you for your service. This is a delicious fruit wine." Nemesis smiled and thanked the halfling bartender, then slowly walked away from the first floor of the tavern.

Having been in contact with human society for many years, he has already learned the way humans get along with each other. At least, he has mastered the disguise of superficial forms.

The next day, outside the pub.

Hammerl and the other two found their horses at the stables of the tavern. After a heated discussion last night, although Cade strongly opposed it, he was still overwhelmed by the opinions of Hammerl and Ebis.

Although Cade could withdraw from the matter, he still had unsettled interests in the warehouse built by the team.

The key to the warehouse is in Hammerill's hands. If he quits now, Hammerill will definitely use this as an excuse to swallow up his property.

So he had no choice but to accept it, and the three of them set out together, preparing to return to that haunted place.

"Hello, are you brave adventurers?"

Before the three of them set off, a man with long silver hair blocked their way.

Hammerl looked the stranger up and down warily. His extremely handsome and effeminate appearance made him suspect that the other party was the elf/half-elf he hated the most.

Fortunately, he was relieved after seeing the shape of the other person's ears. Without those annoying pointy ears, he was the dwarf's friend.

"What's the matter?" Hammerir asked enthusiastically. As an adventurer, he knew that there was a high probability that he would have the opportunity to receive a mission and obtain shiny gold coins at this time.

The man said with a worried look on his face: "My name is Nemesis. I accidentally heard what you said last night. To be honest, my brother has also been there and has been missing ever since."

"I have never dared to look for him, but today when I heard you say you were going to that damn place, I was tempted. I want to find my brother, even if it is his corpse. For this, I am willing to pay a commission."

Hammeril and the other two were a little surprised and looked at each other. Cade said with a look of distrust: "Is it such a coincidence? Why don't I believe it? You said you have been to that place. Okay, then tell me, what is the name of that place?"

Nemesis raised the corner of his mouth, and Cade's thoughts were clearly visible in front of the power of the mind.

He said calmly: "Cloudy Mountain Area."
