Chapter 141 A Favor

In the palace of the Ice and Snow Kingdom.

Moher's room.

The girl suddenly looked towards the door with an inexplicable smile on her face.

"Mr. Duo Luo, you left with such great power, but returned so stealthily. This isn't good, is it? Shouldn't you be demonstrating your power and glory at this time?"

Although Duo Luo's expression looked a little gloomy, Mo He seemed to have no awareness of stepping on a landmine, and spoke in the same sarcastic tone as always.

Duo Luo held the glass bottle in his hand in front of Mo He: "Is this what you need?"

"Hmm~" Mo He stared at the life dew inside for a while, "This is not what I need, Mr. Doro, this is what you need."

"What I need..."

Duo Luo seemed to understand something. He took out another sealed liver and said, "You want to absorb this again?"

Moher still shook his head. "Miss Elf has been dead for many years. If I want to revive her, I can only use my liver as a material. Otherwise, it is basically impossible. But the liver alone is not enough. I also need my horns. You know, creation and destruction. It is unrealistic to revive her as a snow elf, but it is possible to rebirth her as a new species."

Duo Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous aura: "When you helped the people of Butuo City deal with the bodies before, it didn't seem like this."

"When I resurrected Rose, I told you that within three days... the people of Butuo City would be dead because their souls were contained in my jar... You could certainly question such words. However, I still admire Miss Elf. After all, you know, even with Adriana's intervention, not every undead can maintain such a long period of time, nor can they always maintain their sanity. After all, the emotions that usually sustain the undead are hatred and resentment, and such emotions will naturally further distort the undead."

"I understand your horns."

He no longer asked about the issue.

Instead, he gave the liver to Mohe and then left quietly again.

"How cold! It seems like I'm the one who will definitely save Elf. What do you think, Miss Sword Saint?"

A. Sion just shook his head.

"Well...never mind. I should probably do what I'm supposed to do. The Thunder Emperor said he's a symbol of punishment! He said he needs to teach me a lesson. I wonder if Mr. Dora scared you."

……

While the Ice and Snow Kingdom wasn't particularly large, it did have more than one city. Mohe and the others were in the Kingdom's capital. Of course, due to its small size, the capital was practically no different from the border. It could be said that the Kingdom's few major cities were border towns, and the border didn't have much depth.

He arrived in a city where no battle had yet begun.

He could feel the "sight" when he entered the city, and he knew that this city was controlled by Adriana and was used as a place to kill him.

He walked straight to the center of the city.

The woman named Adriana was standing there.

Adriana has gray hair very similar to Doro's, but the difference is that Adriana's is natural, while Doro's turned gray after being cursed.

In comparison, Adriana's gray is more lustrous, while Doro's hair is more withered.

Doro looked at Adriana, looking directly into her eyes through the lenses on her face.

"Your plan was successful, Adriana. I killed the Elf Queen—they can no longer be a worrying threat. I don't know if this was the work of the Wise King, or if there was some kind of deal between you and the Wise King, but... I owe you a favor."

After many years, they met again.

But when he said "I owe you a favor", his eyes were so cold.

Adriana felt a deep pain in her heart, as if someone had stabbed her heart with a sharp knife, stirring it back and forth. But what should she do? He was supposed to be so indifferent. After what happened before, after he came here, this should have been his attitude. What was she expecting?

"The fact that Elf is able to maintain herself and even the existence of the other snow elves has nothing to do with me. If their hearts were broken, then no matter how powerful my magic is, it would be useless. Even if the Demon King came, he couldn't revive them. This is the result of their own efforts."

She finally finished her first conversation with Dora.

"No matter what, no matter what your purpose is, I owe you this favor. So..."

He took out the Life Dew: "Moh said you needed this, right?"

Adriana extended her hand, and the bottle in Dora's hand flew into hers. "This is the content of my deal with the Wise King. Give him this, and he'll grant him a longer life and eternal youth. He'll give me enough resources to power the Demon King's horns. You see, theoretically, this is the Demon King's most important possession. It's the symbol of the demon race, a symbol of both creation and destruction. Even as the president of the Magicians' Guild, it would be too difficult for me to launch an attack with it—the state form is very convenient in this regard. The power of a guild president is far superior to that of a king."

The magic circle lit up in Adriana's hand, and the dew of life was sent away through the magic circle.

Then, the entire city was enveloped by a massive magic circle. Its light shone continuously. Something was brewing.

"Just like what you saw—it takes such a long charging process to activate the Demon King's horns as a weapon to kill you. If you want, you can leave in seconds." Adriana finally approached Dora. "Do you mind walking around the city with me? Before the charging is complete?"

Dora nodded: "I said, I owe you a favor, I will take this blow."

His expression remained indifferent.

The two of them then walked one after the other on the streets of the city.

"I've emptied this city. Everything here is magical, a deal between Elf and me. Elf knew my plan, but she didn't tell you. In that sense, she betrayed you, but you still owe me a favor for her. Do you prefer her to us?"

Doro stared at Adriana's back.

“It’s fundamentally different.”

"What's the difference?"

"You betrayed me in order to kill me. She agreed to your plan because she believed you couldn't kill me."

Such words made Adriana stop and lean sideways: "Have you asked her?"

"No."

"Then what makes you think so?"

"Feel."

Adriana couldn't question this answer. She could only rephrase it: "Then why don't you think we share the same idea? At that time, we needed to explain to our supporters that we represented more than just our will. But you didn't respond to our expectations. We know we can't kill you..."

“It’s the same feeling.”

The conversation cannot continue.

Doro's disgust, indifference, and resistance were almost completely exposed, and he looked at the woman named Adriana so coldly.

"You hate us, don't you?"

"At this point, how can you say I don't hate you?" Doro's words revealed a lot of confusion. "Do you think I didn't come to seek revenge on you because I still have feelings for you? Do you think I didn't kill Xia Di and didn't kill Adeline with my own hands because I still have feelings that I can't let go of? A magician should be the most rational person. What you have to admit is that you never loved me. And I won't love you either."

They never loved him.

This is the conclusion reached by the brave man named A. Godora after he was reborn as Dora.

Perhaps they had indeed had a precious and sweet time that made people smile when they recalled it, and perhaps they really had a deep friendship between them.

But that was not the case for Dora.

It was just a shadow called "Hero".

The Saint, guided by the Goddess' fate, had met him. The relationship between A. Godora and Shadi had been a puppet manipulated from the very beginning. Something had gone wrong at the very beginning. His encounter with Adriana—a woman who had always harbored the desire to slay the "Demon King" and maintain true "balance"—became a disruptor of that balance, and naturally, A. Godora became the one to be eliminated.

This is inevitable in the future.

A wrong start is inevitable in the future.

What else needs to be said further?
So Dora stopped.

He stopped following Adriana in this strange city he didn't even know its name. "There's no point in going any further. Just wait here. If you can't kill me, I'll take the devil's horns."

He openly announced what he was going to do next.

The light of the magic circle lingering in the entire city became brighter and brighter, and the terrifying aura continued to accumulate.

Dora just stood there calmly.

Continuing to talk to him is just like giving a cold shoulder...

Adriana still spoke: "If, if you are willing to make some promises now, I think we might..."

"Maybe it doesn't have to come to this? You're not a child, Adriana. When did you become so naive? We all have to pay the price for our choices. It just depends on whether we can bear it."
