Liadrin Bloodmoon Again

Three hours later, in the Yarvis City--

The prison cart, escorted by elemental guards, slowly drove through the city streets. The cart was a flatbed with a magic-suppressing cage on it, inside which was a Blood Elf. Adventurers strolling in the streets looked at the elf in the prison cart with curiosity.

"Wow, look! It's a Blood Elf girl, so pretty!"

"Damn, what a disaster! If the Blood Elf hadn't sided with the Horde, the Blood Elf girls would be ours."

The adventurers on the road were talking amongst themselves as they watched the prison cart quickly drive into the Water Elemental Temple and be taken to the innermost part of the temple. As the temple gates slowly closed, only the prisoner and Xiao Yu remained inside.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Long time no see, Leah Bloodmoon." Standing before the prison cart, the Water Elemental Lord said this.

That's right, this garrison mage is none other than Leah Bloodmoon, the Blood Elf elementalist who imprisoned Xiao Yu in the Tower of Amalarui. Back then, she was a skeleton-level boss, but now she's a 2-star Horde hero. But fortunes change, and now she's his prisoner. Fate is truly fascinating, Xiao Yu thought with a touch of melancholy.

He gently opened the magic-suppressing cage and grabbed the Blood Elf. Because he had placed Dimensional Anchor on her, Xiao Yu wasn't worried that the Blood Elf would escape.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Tell me, what should I do with you and your friends?" The Water Elemental Lord's hand gently caressed the Blood Elf's body, his enormous palm seeming to grasp a small bird with broken wings.

It has to be said, this girl is really quite pretty. Xiao Yu looked at the Blood Elf in his hand with an appreciative gaze, feeling like he was collecting a figurine from a game.

Leah Bloodmoon (High Elementalist): "Come on, we're all players, stop with the pretentious act." The Blood Elf ignored his Taunt and threats, sitting calmly in his grasp. "Name your price, how much will it cost to release me?"

Xiao Yu awkwardly withdrew his hand. "You really are a player too. But speaking of which, how did you end up in Silvermoon City? And how did you change from a BOSS template to a hero template?"

Leah Bloodmoon (High Elementalist): "What else could it be? If you can't survive outside, of course you'll be recruited. Our Warchief is currently expanding his power. As long as you have a friendly reputation with the Horde, are of the Horde's race, and are willing to accept the recruitment, you can be transformed from a BOSS template to a hero template of the same level. Although your combat power will be weakened and you won't be as free as before, at least you won't have to worry about being defeated by adventurers."

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "So that's how it is." He only knew that BOSSes could be redeemed and become heroes, but he wasn't clear about the specific details. Now he understood. However, it seemed that he had no chance. No matter how much an elemental creature was redeemed, it could never become Alliance race.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Alright, since we're both players, I'll give you a discount. How about 3 million?"

The Blood Elf rolled his eyes.

Leah Bloodmoon (Great Elementalist): "3 million? You might as well just rob it. How could a 2-star hero be worth 3 million?"

Indeed, back then, a 3-skull-level boss could only sell for 800,000, and a 2-star hero could only sell for 500,000 to 600,000 at most.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Hehe, just kidding, don't take it seriously. Let's do it the usual, 300,000."

According to the unwritten rules of the game, if a player's hero or boss is captured by another player's hero or boss, they need to pay a ransom of about half of their own value to be freed. If a 2-star hero is worth 600,000, half of that would be 300,000.

Leah Bloodmoon sighed, "I don't have 300,000."

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "How many do you have?"

Leah Bloodmoon (High Elementalist): "I only have fifty thousand."

Xiao Yu shook his head. "Fifty thousand is absolutely out of the question. Even if you want to bargain, you have to show some sincerity."

Leah Bloodmoon (High Elementalist): "I really only have 50,000. I used to have some savings, but I spent them all on grinding Horde reputation to clear my name a while ago. But even though I don't have the money, I can offer you some other benefits." The Blood Elf seemed to be implying something at this point.

Xiao Yu wondered what this meant. Was he going to offer himself in marriage? But he wasn't the kind of guy who would be unable to resist a woman. He scrutinized the Blood Elf from head to toe with a critical gaze.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Come on, with your quality, you can get as many as you want for 100 points each in Pink Paradise."

(Pink Paradise, a very popular online virtual adult game).

"You!" Leah Bloodmoon's face immediately flushed crimson.

Leah Bloodmoon (High Elementalist): "You bastard, you're overthinking it! I never said I wanted to sleep with you. Don't have such filthy thoughts, okay? Besides, I'm not that kind of woman!"

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Hmm? What do you mean by that?"

Leah Bloodmoon (High Elementalist): "You must have a reason for attacking Silvermoon City, right? If I'm not mistaken, your goal is the Seed of Elements, isn't it? What if I told you I could help you obtain the Seed of Elements?"

Xiao Yu thought to himself that this girl was quite cunning, actually managing to figure out that his target was the Seed of Elements.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "How did you know I wanted the Seed of Elements?"

Leah Bloodmoon (High Elementalist): "Heh, of course it's deduced. What did you think I gave that old guy Alamarui the student for? -- Of course, it was to learn the recipe for Chaos Elemental Transmutation. Unfortunately, you killed him, and my learning plan was abandoned halfway. However, I still obtained quite a bit of his research results. To create Chaos Elemental, the transmutation method of the four elements has been proven to be infeasible, but if other types of elemental energy are generated autonomously within an elemental organism, it might be possible to succeed."

"Because of you, I went to the library to look up some information and unexpectedly discovered the Seed of Elements. At that moment, I concluded that you must have obtained the power of the Seed of Elements."

"Judging from your current appearance, you already possess three different attributes, which means you're only missing one Seed of Elements. As for why I know about the Seed of Elements, well, as a Blood Elf, I know far more about the history of the War of the Ancients than you do. I also know the whereabouts of those three Seed of Elements War of the Ancients, and I also know that your attack on the Lost Island was to obtain the Seed of Elements, right? But I didn't expect you to actually succeed."

Xiao Yu nodded.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Not bad, not bad. I have to admit, you're quite clever. You're right, my current goal is the last Seed of Elements. Once I get it, I think I can become Chaos Elemental."

Leah Bloodmoon (Great Elementalist): "So you're agreeing?" Her voice held a hint of anticipation.

Xiao Yu shook his head.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "No, I have no need to agree to your request. I have a five-star hero like Liadrin and over two thousand Blood Elf prisoners. Exchanging for a Seed of Elements cake. I don't need you at all."

Liadrin is a five-star hero, which is definitely a core hero in both factions. Among the Blood Elf, the three leaders are only six or seven-star heroes. It is estimated that there are very few five-star heroes like Liadrin. She is more than enough to exchange for a Seed of Elements, and you might even get some extras. In addition, there are more than two thousand Blood Elf prisoners, who can also be exchanged for money.

The Blood Elf sighed inwardly upon hearing this; things were really bad now.

Leah Bloodmoon (High Elementalist): "So what do you want? To kill me for a few hundred reputation points?"

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Of course not. If I wanted reputation, I could just slaughter a few towns. I have a better idea. You're a high-level elementalist, and I'm Elemental Lords. I might need your help in the future. So, if you're willing to swear allegiance to me, I might spare your life. And that's your only way out."

Leah Bloodmoon's expression shifted between light and shadow upon hearing this. Once she swore an oath, she would become the other party's possession, her life and death at their mercy. How could she possibly make money like that?

Xiao Yu seemed to have sensed her thoughts.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Don't worry, I know you're a professional player, so your salary will be the same as other player bosses affiliated with this studio. You're a 2-star hero, so you can earn at least 10,000 a month. How about that?"

Hearing this, Leah Bloodmoon finally sighed. "Alright, but we need to sign an agreement. If I die because of you, you'll have to give me a pension and resettlement allowance."

Xiao Yu readily agreed and immediately sent over a contract.

The contract stipulates that Leah Bloodmoon will swear allegiance to the Water Elemental Lord Azathoth in the game. In return, Azathoth must guarantee that Leah Bloodmoon will not be assigned overly dangerous work or unreasonable tasks.

After signing the agreement, we could finally take the oath.

Leah Bloodmoon (High Elementalist): "Great Elemental Lords Azathoth, I swear allegiance to you until the end of my life or until you break my oath. In the meantime, I will serve you to the best of my ability and help you achieve your great cause."

[System prompt: "Leah Bloodmoon (Great Elementalist) swears allegiance to you. Do you accept? Yes/No.]"

Xiao Yu naturally chose to accept.

It feels pretty good to have recruited a 2-star hero as a subordinate.

Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Very well, then, as your first task since becoming my subordinate, go and obtain the Seed of Elements for me."

Leah Bloodmoon: "..."
