Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1044  Return (Part 1)

"Let's hope that guy will agree, or it will be a waste of time..." Evan muttered while flying leisurely.

"After what we did last night, the chances of him agreeing to what we proposed last time are quite high," Anastasia replied with a thoughtful look on her face as she flew beside Evan.

"Hopefully, you are right," Evan said with a sigh and soon both of them reached the mountain valley where the Lava Demons were hidden.

Stepping inside the mountain valley, both of them came in front of the mountain wall where the entrance to the cave was located.

The entrance was hidden because of the concealment formation, but when Anastasia and Evan stopped in front of the mountain wall, the effect of the formation disappeared and they saw three lava demons, who had attacked them last time, standing inside the cave with nervous looks on their faces.

Although they didn't know Evan and Anastasia's true identity, they were still scared of Anastasia, who easily subdued them last time.

"It seems these kids are afraid of you..." Evan said to Anastasia with an amused look on his face. "You are really a big bad villainess who likes to scare kids, huh."

Anastasia's eyes twitched when she heard Evan, but she didn't say anything and walked inside with an expressionless look on her face.

Evan also followed her, and when he passed by the three lava demons, he warned them in a low voice.

"Be careful of her. That woman has a very wicked personality. Not long ago, she turned an innocent businessman into her slave using a curse because she wanted to use him for her own benefit."

The faces of the three lava demons turned pale when they heard what Evan said, and they looked at Anastasia, who was walking ahead, with fear in their eyes.

Evan was satisfied with the reactions of the three innocent lava demons and quickly followed Anastasia, who had an irritated look on her face.

As Evan followed Anastasia with a smile on his face, a black-golden light flashed, and Elora appeared on his shoulder.

"Father, is what you said true? Is Mother really a big bad villainess with a wicked personality?" Elora asked in a curious voice while holding Evan's head so that she wouldn't fall down from his shoulder.

When Evan heard Elora, he was stunned for a moment, but soon he came back to his senses and was about to answer when he noticed Anastasia had stopped walking and was looking at him with narrowed eyes.

Seeing Anastasia's narrowed eyes, he felt that if he said she was indeed a wicked woman, he wouldn't get high-quality food for a few days so he deceptively changed the words he was about to speak.

"What are you talking about, Elora? Don't you know your mother is a very kind person? If she were a wicked villainess, she wouldn't make tasty food for you every day, right?"

"Oh..." Elora nodded her head upon hearing Evan and felt that what he said made sense.

'So, the person who gives tasty food is a good person, and the person who doesn't give tasty food is a wicked person...' Elora thought inwardly and a look of understanding shone on her face as if she had just gained enlightenment.

Evan looked at Elora, who seemed to have just discovered the truth of the world, and felt she was thinking something stupid, but he decided not to say anything.

Anastasia also smiled slightly when she heard Evan's response and patted Elora's head.

"I will make a lot of good dishes for you once we return."

Elora's eyes lit up when she heard Anastasia, and she nodded her head happily.

Her mother is giving her tasty food, so she is definitely not a wicked person.

'It seems I can still get high-quality food that can increase the rank of my core...' Evan also thought to himself.

"All right, Elora, go back for now," He said to the red-haired girl and told her to go back since he didn't want her to appear in front of Searoth. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Elora didn't say anything upon hearing Evan and went back into his soul space.

Once Elora went back, Anastasia looked at Evan and said in a flat voice.

"You are not getting any food for one week."

"What?" Evan was stunned when he heard Anastasia and looked at her with a baffled look on his face.

Anastasia didn't say anything upon seeing Evan's baffled look and went deeper into the cave.

Evan's mouth twitched when he saw Anastasia walking away, and he complained while following her.

"I'm not getting any food for one whole week. Don't tell me I even need to sleep on the sofa from now on."

Anastasia's lips arched upwards when she heard Evan and she said with a smile on her face.

"No, not on the sofa, you are going to sleep with me from now on."

'This woman... She is really creating her own script.' Evan was speechless when he heard Anastasia.

Soon, both of them reached the deepest part of the cave where they had talked to Searoth the last time.

When they arrived, they didn't see Searoth, but they didn't think too much about it and waited for him.

Before coming, Anastasia had already informed him, so they were not worried about him not meeting them.

About half an hour later, Evan and Anastasia saw the iron door at the end of the corridor open and Searoth walked out of the room.

"Looks like you are working overtime to create that armour," Anastasia said when she saw Searoth coming towards them.

Searoth shook his head, hearing Anastasia, and said in a calm voice.

"The armour is still far from being completed. It will still take some time before it is finished."

Anastasia wasn't surprised when she heard Searoth, as she knew it was not easy to process high-level items and create an artefact from them. So she didn't talk about it and directly went to the main topic.

"You know why we are here, right?"

Searoth fell silent after hearing Anastasia.

Evan and Anastasia didn't say anything seeing Searoth was silent, and waited for him to think things through.

After a minute of silence, Searoth looked at Evan and asked in a serious voice.

"Is what you told me on the communication crystal true?"

"I have no reason to lie to you. Even if you don't believe me, you will find out about it on your own in one or two days."

"You are right..." Searoth sighed when he heard Evan, and after thinking about everything, he looked at Evan with resolute eyes.

"I accept your proposal..."

Hearing Searoth, Evan and Anastasia smiled, but before they could say anything, Searoth spoke once again.

"However, I have a condition."
