Kido looked at the kid with an apologetic smile in front of him with a complicated expression, and then at the lone Masked Demon thief behind him. He looked back and forth several times. He finally sighed helplessly and took Alvin inside. Josanna's lab. This kid must have planned it in advance, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence. They just made a guarantee at his request. After he came back from the mission, he said that something went wrong. If Ivan hadn't had a pretty good relationship with the Ski family and had been taken care of by Peter repeatedly, Kido would have punched him with his usual temper - he wanted to play tricks in front of his grandfather! The large laboratory was filled with pure white light. Joanna was wearing a simple nightgown, holding a roll of parchment in one hand and supporting her head with the other. She sat comfortably on a metal rocking chair at the end of the laboratory, speaking from time to time. The opening of his mouth pointed at something. In the center of the room was a huge experimental table. Several low-level mages stood beside it with their backs to her, busy flipping various instruments on the large experimental table. Colorful magic potions were placed on the table according to Joanna's request. It is really beautiful to see it circulated among different instruments. "Hello, Miss Johanna!" In order not to disturb the ongoing experiment, Ivan followed Kido and carefully walked around from the side of the room to Johanna. He glanced at Johanna first, and then said hello. Fortunately, although the absent-minded Joanna in her pajamas was still beautiful, she no longer had that compelling sense of charm. "Ivan, it's you, have you completed your mission so quickly?" Joanna put down the book in her hand, first ordered the mages to continue the experiment, then turned to look at Ivan, and asked with a smile. "Well, thank you for your concern, Miss. My mission has been completed, but the three second-level professionals you loaned to meI lost two." Looking at Joanna turning her head, Ivan felt her whole body People suddenly became different. Although I couldn't tell what had changed, I just felt that her attractiveness suddenly increased a lot. Could this be the power of the Demonic Eye talent? Ivan quickly lowered his head. According to the bard's description and his previous personal experience, as long as he did not make direct contact with Joanna's eyes, he could avoid the adverse effects of this talent to the greatest extent. "We lost two slaves in one mission. This is a bit" Joanna frowned slightly. She didn't look down on the three second-level professionals who were loaned to Aiwen. She called them rudely, but in the end It was property that had been damaged, so his tone was inevitably unpleasant. "Forget it, tell me what happened. There must be a reason for such a result. I know you will never sacrifice them casually!" Joanna said with a very serious expression. "Well, well, Miss Joanna is indeed a sensible person. Here's what happened" Ivan felt relieved after hearing this. Originally, he had doubted whether Joanna would default on the debt. After all, only Ivan knew the whole process. She could use this excuse to deny that it was the slave's fault and demand compensation from Alvin - he was indeed prepared to compensate, and it was normal for him to bleed after making a fortune. But now it seems that Joanna doesn¡¯t seem to have this intention. Her business ethics are still good! "I see, then, the contract given to you at that time is still there!" After listening to Ivan's explanation, Johanna said thoughtfully. "It's still with me!" Ivan quickly took out the small metal box from his arms and opened it. There were three copies of the contract inside. "Then just leave it here. I will verify what you said, but no matter what happened, it is a fact that I lost two good slaves here. As a small price, the pet you mortgaged It is impossible to redeem the eggs, can you accept this?" Joanna looked at Alvin with a half-smile. "That pet egg Okay, just think of it as the price, I'm not going to redeem it!" Ai Wen was startled, he hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and nodded - that's fine, collect it. After paying the price, Joanna will have no excuse to cause trouble from this matter in the future. Well, let¡¯s just completely break away from her. It¡¯s really a good deal ¡°Miss, I think Ivan¡¯s character is It's not that bad. He's just an opportunistic guy. The slave suddenly betrayed and controlled other slaves. They chased him all the way just to get the copy of the contract Who believes this? If it's really so dangerous, what's wrong with him now? Maybe he can come back alive, but I think the other two slaves must have been used as cannon fodder by him during the mission!" Kido snorted dissatisfied after returning from sending Alvin off. "No, he's not talking nonsense. At least the contract of the Shadow Demon Priest was indeed manipulated by me But he was able to wake up so early and control the other two slaves, which was beyond my expectation What a pity. , seems to be a waste of money?What a useful chess piece! "Josanna explained as she lowered her head and fiddled with the small metal box. She had casually thrown aside the contract papers in the small box. After a moment, it seemed that some adjustments had been completed. Joanna took the small metal box with her. Together with Guido, they came to a secret room. There were rows of sealed metal boxes in the secret room. Joanna counted them and finally squatted in front of one of the metal boxes, tapping the surface with her fingers dexterously. After finishing, there was a click, and the thick box lid popped up, revealing a box full of soft cloth. After lifting the cloth covering the surface, Johanna took out a well-preserved hexagonal metal plate from the box. , and placed it on the small table in the secret room. This metal plate, which was carefully preserved by Joanna, was smooth on one side, but the other side was fully engraved with a complete magic circle. If you look closely, its texture is like silk. It was slender, yet extremely complicated. The strangest thing was that there was a complete blank space in the center of this complicated magic circle. Joanna carefully placed the metal box in the blank space in the middle of the magic circle. He held both ends of the metal plate with both hands and began to input magic power into it. Even if he was not a mage, most demons had some magic power due to their innate spell-like abilities. However, it could be activated with Joanna's magic power. It seemed that it looked like this. The complex magic circle is a rare type that does not require much magic power. "Miss, this is" After finally letting go of Joanna's hand, Kido immediately asked the questions he had been holding back. "This metal plate was excavated from a ruins. I don't know what its function is, but obviously, it can reproduce the psychological fluctuations of some people! "Josanna said lazily.
