Dark Eldar

Darkness is the abyss. —Otherworldly Rules 131

The otherworldly, beautiful priestess Catherine resurrected two max-level bounty hunters. She paid the remaining 12.5 coins. (The agreed-upon price for mission failure. She cast a spell to open a portal, her eyes signaling to the lizardmen and undead assassins to leave immediately.)

Susie and Graf didn't blame each other. They could only blame their opponents for being too strong. Bounty hunters are generally quite the "trolls." They boast when they win and blame each other when they lose. This is part of their "professionalism," otherwise their next job would be affected.

The werewolf leader, Wolfd, didn't say a word, but teleported directly into the portal and returned to the other world.

Priestess Catherine uses a high-level magical portal, which doesn't require specifying a particular location or coordinates. The recipient can then choose their destination (by scrolling through the options). The destination must be visible on the map first.

Wolfd returned to the other world, turned his head, and patted the dust off his thick tail (tail optional). He felt uneasy.

The two bounty hunters returning to the group must keep their mouths shut! Neither of them dares to reveal the outcome of the PK. They live on the edge every day. They have a clearer understanding of the life and death of each hero than anyone else.

Elder Wolf, Wolverine, after repairing and mending his equipment (200G), strode back to the council chamber. He couldn't help but feel a turmoil in his heart. He kept speculating: "What if I fought Loki without his armor? Could I win...? Or what if I put on a set of Zul'Gurub armor...?"

Elder Wolfd grew increasingly angry, his head drooping dejectedly, his gaze vacant. He didn't even notice the occasional greeting from a mid-level werewolf apprentice. Furthermore, to avoid being noticed by the Grand Elder and the others, he deliberately chose to sit in an inconspicuous spot, pretending to meditate.

"..." Elder Wolfd seemed to have seen a moment clearly (Confidential Mode; No Recording; No Replay).

"Loki made a switching motion during the fight. It was as if he was using his shoulder as a weapon against himself, instead of using his divine weapon..."

Wolf secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart. He stared intently at Elder Sun Yun and the Fire Messenger in the distance at the Military Hall (in silent mode, without lip reading, sensing that a major event was about to occur in the near future).

At the other end of the portal, the inner light white wave-patterned halo slowly closed; its effective duration, at its maximum, is 5 minutes.

Catherine's duration has been increased by 1 minute, making it 6 minutes. Female heroes, especially those with money, like to "invest" in similar skills. Don't underestimate just one extra minute. Not far away, Loki knew very well that without significant investment, this full minute wouldn't be possible. In the event of a large-scale battle requiring an emergency retreat (disengagement from combat), this extra minute could allow countless combat squads and teams to effectively evacuate...

Striving for perfection is Catherine's habitual pursuit and her dream!

A 6-minute max-level teleportation portal in another world.

Very few can achieve such a long duration. Loki's portal only lasts 10 seconds (for non-support classes, opening a portal is very costly for FS, requiring expensive gems and other high-level materials). Others, like Elder Sun Yun, last at most 5 minutes and 30 seconds. Elder Sun Yun was probably prepared for the later ninja legion, hence the extra money spent; players can simply keep spending "gold ingots" to buy vouchers without needing any complicated operations.

"Your portal is closed, Sister Catherine."

Loki offered a slightly embarrassed reminder.

The otherworldly beautiful priestess Catherine smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and then remained silent.

Two hundred million gold coins is an astronomical figure for any nobleman.

Catherine felt a sudden surge of pressure. She had initially thought Loki was just joking, but she hadn't expected her "junior brother" to be so powerful?

Catherine was using her personal warehouse and her family's guild warehouse. In this other world, her family wasn't particularly prominent, so there was a reason why Catherine was "going all out."

"Come and make the deal. I've already spoken to them, and they all approved. I'll give you silver notes first. You can exchange them at any major city bank, but it's best to go to Casterly Rock; it won't attract attention from the otherworld. I don't want too many people finding out. I've already had them launder the money; nobody knows where it came from. Loki, I really admire you. Can I come with you?" Catherine was actually a little infatuated.

"I reckon a vain beauty like Catherine would definitely succumb to a powerful DPS, right? Or maybe she'd hold back. Who knows?" Loki thought.

Loki, the sorcerer, sometimes indulges in wild thoughts. His exploration attribute grants him an exceptionally strong capacity for such flights of fancy (variable). However, he always maintains his principles, as he stumbles quite a bit in the early game when faced with various beautiful women. Some are after his combat prowess, some after his money, and some after his high luck. Don't assume that "good character" always equates to good; sometimes, it can bring bad luck.

"Sorry, Elder Catherine, I am not fully prepared yet," Loki replied casually. What he really meant to Catherine was business; he had received an exorbitant 2 million gold coins, and if he couldn't deliver, what would become of him? The compensation alone would bankrupt Loki.

"Alright, I hope you can give me the map as soon as possible. Is there nothing between us besides money?" Catherine asked weakly, sounding somewhat like a normal NPC speaking.

"Don't misunderstand, Pastor Catherine. Think about it, if I didn't have the artifact, would you still be willing to team up with me? I guess that's just how people are; once something's missed, it's over. We still have business to do, isn't that good enough?" Loki said tactfully, using a double entendre (Eastern slang) to try and bring Pastor Catherine to her senses as quickly as possible.

"Hey babe, we've all been there, pretending to be naive is just boring. What do you think?"

Having received the silver notes, Loki mounted his horse and swiftly returned to the city to prepare. On the way, he spoke earnestly to his beloved mount...
