#599 - Finally saw the Rune Snake (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

After hearing Gold Flyer's proposal, Thunderbird seemed somewhat tempted. He stood in place, contemplating for a moment, but quickly raised a question, "Are you so confident that you can deal with him? You know the strength of the Runewen Serpent. Can we win with just the two of us?"

"It would naturally be very difficult to attack directly, but what if I launch a surprise attack from the shadows?" Gold Flyer murmured in a low voice, "After we see the Runewen Serpent, you should first negotiate with him to divert his attention, and I will act according to the circumstances. The probability of success is still very high. Search for books to read."

"That doesn't mean it's a 100% success rate. Once we fail, not only will we completely fall out with the Runewen Serpent, but if he escapes, wouldn't we be cutting off our own retreat?" Thunderbird had become very calm at this time.

"If we don't take a gamble, we'll never have a chance to get ahead." Seeing that Thunderbird, who was usually impulsive, was showing a timid side, Gold Flyer couldn't help but find it a little ridiculous. "Now the club has reached a dead end. If we don't completely control the formula for the Elixir of Life, are we going to continue being his dogs?"

Speaking of this, Gold Flyer couldn't help but mock, "Are you afraid? Compared to you, the usually low-key Phoenix was the first to choose to betray him, while you, the lawless War God, are now cowardly beyond recognition."

"A boring attempt to provoke me." Thunderbird sneered coldly, "Okay, if you can really succeed, I can cooperate with you, but once you fail, I'm afraid I can only kill you together with the Runewen Serpent to show my loyalty."

"Heh, I didn't expect you to be so afraid of death at a critical moment." Gold Flyer shook his head contemptuously, "Okay, as long as you can guarantee that you can keep up after I succeed."

"As long as you can really succeed, I will not hesitate for a moment!" Thunderbird's tone was firm and full of murderous intent at this time. "But regarding the Runewen Serpent, don't you have any special information? For example, what type of spells is he good at?"

"You know how cautious he is." Gold Flyer shook his head helplessly. "Although I have always shown loyalty to him over the years, he has never shown complete trust in me. If it weren't for accidentally learning where he keeps the formula, I wouldn't be taking such a risky move at this time."

"I hope you're not lying to me. If I don't get anything in the end, I guarantee I will turn you and the entire headquarters into ashes. Anyway, I've lived long enough, I think I've had enough!" Thunderbird snorted coldly.

Seeing the harsh words left by Thunderbird, Gold Flyer sneered in his heart, 'Is that so? Then why did you act so cowardly before? Anyone can say harsh words.'

Without continuing to talk to Thunderbird, Gold Flyer turned around and fiddled with the stone basin, the operation process was very similar to Claremont's. After waiting for a while, thick red bubbles also boiled in the stone basin, which meant that they had received a response from the Runewen Serpent.

"He agreed to meet us, let's go." Gold Flyer said, then lifted the velvet cloth covering the black full-length mirror, and then took the lead to walk in, as if walking into a deep tunnel.

Seeing this, Thunderbird naturally followed closely behind, stepping into the black mirror with Gold Flyer, but at this time, Anduin's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt and playfulness.

The journey in the black mirror was not short, but it was not long either. After the two walked for nearly 5 minutes, they appeared outside another identical full-length mirror.

The other side of the black mirror looked like a closed room. The surrounding environment, including the ground and walls, were all made of rock.

The space inside the room was large, but only this black mirror stood alone. The surroundings were empty and dark, with only a few goblin fire torches responsible for lighting.

The narrow and humid air made Anduin judge that this place was probably located underground, and Gold Flyer did not stop after walking out of the black mirror, leading the way ahead on his own.

Thunderbird followed to the side of the stone room, Gold Flyer cast a spell and opened another door on the stone wall, in front of them was another bottomless tunnel.

Walking up this tunnel for a distance, and after passing through another hidden magic door, Gold Flyer led Thunderbird into a beautiful open-air valley.

The tunnel leading to the black mirror was inside the stone mountain behind Thunderbird. At this time, the portal on the stone wall had re-hidden, as if this was an uninhabited place.

"Wait here, without the Runewen Serpent's permission, you can't see his residence." Gold Flyer shrugged at him.

After so much tossing, they only arrived at the periphery of the Runewen Serpent's residence? This guy is really afraid of death, Anduin couldn't help but complain in his heart as he looked back at the stone wall.

Through this journey, Anduin also roughly figured out the Runewen Serpent's personality, and at the same time began to quickly observe the surroundings. The hands covered by the robe also fiddled with the locator, measuring his location.

After a moment, Anduin seemed to have discovered something that surprised him, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow as he glanced at Gold Flyer, who was facing away from him.

But at this moment, a small paper crane suddenly appeared in the sky above the valley, flapping its wings and flying towards the two.

Thunderbird spread out his palm, and the paper crane accurately landed in his palm. After Thunderbird completely spread out the paper crane, he found that a set of words "Serpent's Residence" was written inside. Then this note was instantly ignited and disappeared before his eyes.

After he saw this text, the world in front of Thunderbird suddenly changed. A gorgeously decorated manor suddenly appeared in the originally empty valley. Many free and happy magical creatures even lived on the lawn in front of the house, looking like a paradise.

Is this the Runewen Serpent's residence? Not only is the passage to enter here very tortuous, but the house is also protected by the 'Fidelius Charm', and the internal environment is actually so beautiful. This Runewen Serpent seems to value his life more than anyone else!

"Let's go, since the Runewen Serpent is willing to reveal his address to you, it proves that he is willing to let you in." Gold Flyer muttered lightly, and then took the lead to enter the manor.

Anduin under the Thunderbird mask smiled coldly, and then quickly followed.

After entering the manor, the surrounding magical creatures curiously looked at the two of them, and then continued to play in a group as if nothing had happened, and the gate of the manor house immediately opened when the two approached.

The interior of this house was decorated with carved beams and painted rafters. Some historical artworks could be seen everywhere, exquisite oil paintings, entire cabinets of silverware, and delicate carpets covering the ground. This made people wonder whether the place they were in was a residence for people to live in seclusion or a palace.

Under the leadership of Gold Flyer, the two arrived at a brightly lit giant reception room. A well-proportioned person was sitting on the sofa in the center.

When they got closer, the figure on the seat was wearing a pure silver mask and a silk robe embroidered with gorgeous patterns. Obviously, this was the Runewen Serpent himself.

However, Anduin still noticed the abnormality of the other party's body. Although the Runewen Serpent was completely wrapped up, he could still see some snake-scale-like patterns from the neck slightly exposed from the edge of the mask.

Is this the side effect of the Elixir of Life that Phoenix mentioned? Will it cause snake skin to grow on the skin after taking it for many years? Is this a dominant trait or does it mean that the other party has now completely become another creature?

But just as Anduin was secretly calculating, the Runewen Serpent spoke first.

"Gerald, this is the first time you've visited my residence, how is it? Is it a little different from what you imagined?" The Runewen Serpent's tone was quite amiable in the face of Thunderbird's visit, as if he was entertaining an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

"Heh, I didn't expect you old immortal to be so good at enjoying yourself. I thought that after so many years, you would be tired of these things full of the smell of copper." Thunderbird didn't give the other party any face, and sat down opposite the Runewen Serpent in a nonchalant manner, picking up a piece of silverware from the shelf next to him and playing with it.

"Do you still hate me so much?" The Runewen Serpent sighed upon seeing this, nagging like an elder, "It wasn't just me who stopped you from saving Grindelwald back then, it was everyone's unanimous decision, wasn't it? Since you've taken the Elixir of Life, you must value your life and don't always get involved in those dangerous things."

"That's why I hate more than just you." After saying that, Thunderbird specially glanced at Gold Flyer next to him. "Don't play this fatherly piety act in front of me. Although you are nominally my adoptive father, I don't owe you anything after so many years."

"So that's what you think?" The Runewen Serpent shook his head with a chuckle, "Okay, since that's the case, let's not talk nonsense. What's the matter that you're here to see me so unusually today? I remember that I've always entrusted Gold Flyer to handle the affairs of the club."

"The club is over!" At this time, Thunderbird seemed to be venting all the anger he had accumulated for a long time. "Just because you chose to blindly trust Gold Flyer foolishly, under his wise leadership, our German split strategy completely failed, the transportation route to North America was completely blocked, and the breeding park was also cleaned up. Now, apart from the pile of little cuties outside the door, the club has no other raw materials!"

"What?" The Runewen Serpent's body suddenly stiffened upon hearing this, and then he looked at Gold Flyer, who had stood beside him after entering the door, in surprise. "Is everything Thunderbird said true?"

"This..." Gold Flyer lowered his head dejectedly, seemingly out of shame, "Sorry, Father, it was Dennis who didn't do his job well."
