"...Once the superior elemental lord dies, the soul contract under his control will be completely abolished, and all his subordinates will regain their freedom.
In our elemental world, there is very little true loyalty.
So if you want to find Sir Sadr Roitfeld’s old subordinates and ask them to agree to help you, you can give up this idea as soon as possible, because it is simply impossible~”
Gretatz may also have seen through the naked direct relationship of interests in the elemental world, so he said leisurely with a little mocking smile on his lips.
"Even so, we still want to search for some important places. Maybe... we may not be able to find anything." Liu Yifei frowned in a deep voice.
"Actually, if you are really facing a very difficult problem, I would suggest that you cooperate with Elder Shi Feng.
Objectively speaking, the current strength of Elder Shi Feng is indeed slightly inferior to that of Master Luofeidd back then. However, in terms of organized power strength, Elder Shi Feng does not belong to Master Luofeidd.
After all, Lord Duruitan's territory now has annexed part of Lord Rofield's territory back then. Coupled with our subsequent expansion, in terms of military strength, Lord Ruitan has already surpassed Lord Rofield.
Since you are able to reach an agreement with Lord Rofield, you can naturally also reach an agreement with Lord Duritan.
As long as a sufficient price can be paid, I believe that Lord Duritan is still willing to help Lord Luofeld clean up some of the mess.
Of course, you always understand the phrase "equivalent exchange," right?
You seem to be facing quite a lot of problems right now. If you want to seek asylum from a high-ranking elemental lord like Lord Duritan, the reward required is not a small amount."
Gretatz's leisurely smile remained unchanged, but it seemed to Liu Yifei that it looked a bit cunning and treacherous.
Hum~
As expected, none of these intelligent elemental life forms are easy to deal with, and they have come to us with their wishful thinking so quickly...
Liu Yifei sighed in his heart, but felt that it was natural.
In the NPC world, those neutral creatures do not have too strict positions. As long as you can afford the money, you can ask for help from anyone.
Gretatz had been misled by Liu Yifei into thinking that they were just seeking protection from powerful forces, so it was not surprising that they would have such an idea.
It's just that she couldn't imagine it.
Now Liu Yifei and the others are looking for not only a strong backer, but also an "artifact" that can be said to be unparalleled, and this is the real purpose of their trip!
If God's Pain cannot be found, God knows whether the great prophet will sigh and simply take the entire tauren tribe to be buried with the lost ancient artifact.
As a result, Liu Yifei's "introduction of foreign aid" plan was completely bankrupt!
Besides, even if the Great Prophet could think it through and missed the "Pain of God", Liu Yifei himself would never be able to think about it!
"This...to be honest. Lord Gretelz, in fact, our current situation is very bad.
I have an agreement with the Tauren tribe, but this agreement does not affect the high-ranking lords in the main plane that I serve.
Therefore, my boss will not pay for the situation we are currently experiencing.
The Tauren tribe is currently facing a life-and-death crisis, and the tribe's strongholds and manpower have suffered heavy losses!
Under such circumstances, they really couldn't produce enough wealth to impress Lord Duritan.
In fact, if the situation hadn't been so bad, we wouldn't have been forced to come to the Earth Elemental Realm to seek help. So Lord Gretatz's kindness... we can only accept it~
Otherwise, Lord Greteltz, you should tell me where Lord Field's subordinates usually hang out?
Given our current situation, the most we can do is try our luck there..."
Liu Yifei was silent for a moment, and finally said in a helpless and sad tone.
"Ha~ It seems that you are not just a group of unlucky people, but also a group of poor people?"
As soon as Gretelz spoke her words, everyone present looked tense.
"Kids, don't worry. In the elemental world, everything is so straightforward~
If you have the strength, you can reclaim territory, recruit subordinates, and even launch aggressive wars against surrounding forces!
If you don't have the strength, you can only pretend to be a grandson, or wander around in the wild. Even if someone poaches the elemental core one day, you can only blame yourself for not having the foresight to hit someone else's gun~
As for you guys from the outer plane, who can bring wealth and make deals, you are our strongest allies!
Otherwise, what else can you do to us?
Start a war with us?
Dear children, it is not my intention to add insult to injury, but if you want to gain a foothold in this earth elemental world, you must get used to the rules here...
Okay~
I'm not kidding you anymore.
Seeing that you still have some relationship with Mr. Field, I will treat it as a good deed..."
Gretatz then took out a small magic map and printed her memory on the parchment.
With this parchment in hand, Liu Yifei and others can follow the map's guidance to find the former site of the main city of Sadr Rohfeld's territory.
This is also where the battle between the "Rockbreaker" and the "King of Earth" once broke out!
After that shocking battle, the area was shrouded in a strong elemental storm.
Since this is the elemental realm of earth, the sky is full of wind and sand almost all year round!
It is also for this reason that this area has never been occupied by other powerful high-level elemental lords in the surrounding area.
However, according to some uncertain rumors, it seems that there is an old team of Field's troops hidden behind the turbulent wind and sand.
It's just that as time went by, those guys didn't come out from behind the wind and sand, and the name "Rock Breaker" never appeared again, so this place was gradually forgotten by the people around it. I didn't expect that it was still there today.
A group of people want to go deep into it...
After clearly explaining the location and general situation of the old capital to Liu Yifei and others, Gretaiz no longer wanted to keep these outsiders for "accommodation", and soon sent a group of people outside the town.
"Honestly, why would you want to help us?"
Before leaving, Liu Yifei looked at the female earth element in front of him and couldn't help but ask.
Do you mean well?
Strictly speaking, these elemental life forms absolutely do not have such organs.
Kind?
It doesn’t make sense. Aren’t they all connected in interests and straightforward?
Therefore, Liu Yifei has always been puzzled as to why Gretatz was kind enough to help them.
"Why?
Speaking of which...
Probably just the last bit of memory for Mr. Field~
Lord Field is a recognized genius in the earth element world. His talent is so high that he may be on par with the King of Earth!
It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time, because I lacked the time and space to grow up, so I was crushed by that madman!
And what I have to say is that Mr. Field is very kind to us subordinates.
I'm helping you a little this time... but it's not really a help at all.
I just told you the location. Whether you can go there, whether you can find those people, and whether they are willing to help you all depends on you.
I just told you a few clues. This can be regarded as my last reward for being Lord Field's subordinate in the past. After you, I think I will never have anything to do with Lord Field again.
But seriously, kids, I still want to thank you~
If it weren't for you, I think I would never be able to mention this name again..."
Silently chewing on what Gretatz said, Liu Yifei and his party finally embarked on a journey to find the "Pain of God".
What awaits them in the distance is the ruins of an ancient capital hidden behind endless wind and sand, as well as a group of powerful earth elemental creatures with unknown enemies and friends!
But those behind them may not be their friends!
Shortly after Liu Yifei and others left, Gretatz, who had been standing outside the town gate and never left, suddenly waved her hand gently.
The next moment, an unattractive-looking earth elemental with a slightly skinny body knelt down beside Gretetz.
"Master, what are your orders?"
"Do you remember all those people clearly?"
"Master, I remember everything very clearly."
"That's good~cancel all your previous tasks, follow them, and see what they want to do. But be careful not to be exposed.
The magic map I gave them will continue to emit magic marks to guide you. As long as the distance is not too far, you can sense it.
If anything unusual happens... you know how to contact me."
"Yes, Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"After entering the elemental storm area, you must be careful to conceal your aura. There are too many secrets in that abnormal area. Although it has been many years, no one has figured out what is inside. If it is exposed, you will die.
It’s not a strange thing to be in there. Unless there is valuable information, you know that I won’t save you.”
"Yes, I understand!"
After the explanation, Gretelz waved his hand again, and the earth element that was kneeling on the ground suddenly seemed to be weathered in an instant, and turned into a pile of loose sand. In less than a moment, it had completely disappeared on the spot, as if it had merged into the endless.
The earth is generally brown.
However, Gretelz's figure still did not disappear from the gate of the town.
"Hmph~ An ancient covenant? Do you really think I'm an idiot? If you just want him to fulfill the agreement, how can you still insist on it after knowing that he is dead? After all... why are you little guys here?
Where are you here? I want to see what tricks you are playing!"
"Gretez!"
Suddenly, a loud voice sounded in the female earth element's mind.
"Du...Lord Du Ruitan??? Why are you here?"
A look of surprise flashed across Gretatz's face.
"Your performance just now was wonderful. If I didn't know your loyalty, I would have almost been deceived by you~
The countermeasures you took against those people are correct. Continue to wait and see what happens. If anything happens, remember to contact me at any time. If this matter is handled well, I will definitely reward you heavily."
"Yes! Thank you very much, great master! My subordinates will do their best to serve you!" Gretatz said with sincerity.
"Well, very good~ But Gretelz, you must remember clearly that what you just did was all acting! How to choose, you should know better than anyone else..."
The voices in my mind gradually faded away, but the body of the female earth element could not suppress a slight tremor...
