Chapter 182 The Ghost Woman's Help

After checking the other ruins of Green Swamp Town and confirming that devil worship should be a personal choice of the elven wizard, Ron and others immediately rushed to the swamp where the witch lived, hoping that Polly could have news about ancient ruins.

"No, I don't know, I don't know."

In the witch's hut, Polly served them tea and snacks, but this time they were all rotten food. Ron and others easily saw through this not-so-clever trick. Only Driver rashly drank the tea in one gulp and then spit it out without leaving a drop.

"What do you think I am?" Polly maintained the appearance of an old woman, even though both sides knew her true nature. "I am just a 'young man' who was born about a hundred years ago. How could I know so many things?"

"I heard that you killed your mother and an 'aunt'," Yelena looked at the witch, "You killed them before you learned all the skills?"

"Don't provoke me, beautiful girl," Polly laughed hoarsely, "You are a shadow spirit, huh? You should serve the Lady of Death, not this... ugly human leader Lord mixed with."

"Is that how you describe me?" Ron took out a round iron piece from his pocket in disappointment, "I am so disappointed, I originally brought you a gift."

"But now it seems..."

"Soul coin!" Polly widened her eyes, "Give it to me!"

"No, no... Kind and generous Lord, can you meet the humble request of a frail old woman and give her this precious coin? If you are willing, I am willing to do anything for you!"

"Your face changes so quickly." Sylvia frowned.

"Ha, that's called being flexible, bitch!" Polly's words just now were obviously not from her heart, and she quickly returned to her original state, "Do you know how valuable a soul coin is?"

"A hag who lives long enough can change her race according to her own wishes," Yelena was not surprised by the hag's reaction, "Demon hag, night hag, green hag, sea hag... If I'm not mistaken, the ritual of becoming a night hag requires a soul coin, right?"

"It seems that you have dealt with us a lot," Polly looked at the shadow spirit sinisterly "Yes, you are right. But in addition to this, soul coins have many other uses."

"In the Nine Hells, in the Abyss, and even in the material plane, there are many beings willing to use this as currency for transactions, and I am no exception."

"Then Sir Ron, let me ask you again: Are you willing to pay a soul coin in exchange for a ghost woman's "free" service?"

What Polly meant by "free" naturally meant no contract and no other cost, which would be borne by the soul in the soul coin.

"I'd like to hear what you can do first," Ron relaxed when he saw that the witch was really interested in this. "You wouldn't charge this much for just one consultation, would you?"

The witch waved her hand and replaced Ron's cup with a normal, non-toxic black tea: "Of course not! How else can I do other business?"

"Let me put it this way, I intercepted part of my mother's memory: I went deeper into the mountains and there was a site at the foot of those mountains. An ancient race once lived there and thrived with mining as the center. My mother and her gatherings had been there several times, usually to obtain materials for making magic items."

"Let me take another look at where you are going... Yes, although there are some deviations in the description, I am sure this is the place - at least it is nearby."

"I can act as a guide to take you there, and I can also join the battle when necessary , if you are injured or even die on the way, I can save you - but I advise you to avoid this situation, after all, I am a miracle worker. "

"Creatures treated by my hands will become more... beautiful."

"Fighting, treatment?" Victoria looked up at the witch, "You mean, this journey may be quite dangerous?"

"This fantasy place is quite dangerous, priest girl," the witch rolled her eyes, "Are there no beasts near your trading post and village?"

"As for there... According to the memory of my mother and "aunt", a large number of undead creatures roam there, and there are some more weird creatures - for you."

Ron did not show the wizard's hand to Polly, but she knew that there were a lot of undead creatures there, and it seemed that the place she knew was the destination of Ron and others.

"Take it, it's yours," Ron threw the soul coin in his hand to her, "I hire you as a guide, come with us."

"I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise... after all, we are not devils, we will be more inclined to solve the problem directly, right?"

"Not devils but demons..." the witch muttered, "Then wait for me for a while, I have to make some preparations, after all, I don't know what I may face."

The witch turned and went into the inner room, and Ron and his friends waited for almost two hours. When the witch came out, her thin old woman illusion was jingling with a lot of bottles and jars, but her appearance did not show what she brought.

This made her disguise almost useless.

"It seems that this trip will not be very peaceful," Ron teased, "Are you digging out all your family assets?"

"My mother's memory may be outdated, and who knows what else will happen," the witch snorted, "and there are many creatures along the way that are not so friendly - there is an owl bear cave across this swamp, you probably haven't been there yet?"

"There is also a group of hungry wargs wandering on our way - pray that we don't run into them, because many of my little babies have been preyed upon by them before."

When Polly walked out of the cottage, she waved to the two frogs on the balcony, and the "amphibians" immediately jumped down and turned into two short human-shaped old men holding huge sickles in the shadows.

"Oh, look at their little red hats!" Constance couldn't help but reach out to touch the pointed hats on the heads of the two creatures, on which were tied two bells.

When the half-elf tried to touch them and was almost bitten, the bells made a series of harsh sounds as the head shook.

"Get out of here!" A "dwarf" showed a bloodthirsty expression and glared at Constance fiercely, "Or we will eat you!"
