Huh? Are they all real?...

There's nothing special about it; it's neither beautiful nor ugly. Its only selling point is that it might be an antique.

But it's only a possibility.

After noticing that the woman in front of him, whose graceful figure could not be hidden even though she was wrapped in a gauze dress, seemed to be paying attention to his products.

The shopkeeper started boasting:

"My esteemed lady, look at this cup. It is definitely an antique."

"It, it, it... well, anyway, a lady as distinguished as you certainly needs some antique items to decorate your residence!"

Clearly, this vendor lacked the eloquence of a businessman.

To the point that they couldn't even clearly explain their own products.

After looking the man up and down, Lilith realized that he must be a farmer who had come out to sell his belongings because his family was in trouble.

After chuckling a few times, Lilith tore off her veil.

She revealed her overly seductive face and said:

"Hello, I've taken a liking to this cup, so how do you plan to sell it?"

An honest, simple farmer had clearly never seen such a beautiful person so close to him.

He stood there dumbfounded.

Not a word could come out.

Because Lilith removed her veil, a man followed by two almost completely naked burly men immediately stepped forward and said:

“Beautiful lady, my name is Aube. I own a gladiator training arena that is renowned far and wide. So, after I buy this cup for you, would you be willing to visit my arena and witness the gladiators’ passionate training?”

"Believe me, many nobles like this, and you might even get to meet His Excellency the Governor of Capua!"

Lilith smiled seductively:

"I have no interest in men who work hard and sweat, but even so, could you still help me buy it?"

"Of course, Rome is synonymous with romance!"

The man immediately tossed a bag of gold coins in front of the merchant with a flourish.

Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, she lovingly picked up the cup.

After confirming that it was indeed him who bought the cup.

Lilith casually concealed her hand beneath her sheer dress, slowly tracing it along the man's arm before placing it on the cup:

"Then I'll take it?"

"Of course!"

The distracted man immediately let go, but just as he was about to say a few more words...

The beautiful woman who had almost bewitched him with just a few words smiled at him and then disappeared into the crowd.

This left the man somewhat disappointed.

But he felt that was enough; he would remember that smile for the rest of his life!

After leaving the bustling city of Capua, Lilith, who had been holding the cup through her gauze dress, finally stopped.

She looked at the cup in front of her with a bit of disbelief.

"I never expected to have such a pleasant surprise."

But right after she said those words...

Lilith noticed that everything around her had come to a standstill.

Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed in an elegant black evening gown and wearing an equally deep veil that concealed her face emerged from the void.

She spoke to Lilith in a soft, yet deeply sorrowful voice:

"This is a very dangerous thing, please let me handle it."

Chapter 209 Hey, Friend! (3k)

As for this uninvited guest in front of me.

Lilith was also slightly taken aback.

She never expected to meet this person in this place.

After a brief moment of surprise, Lilith crushed the cup.

And with unparalleled precision, they obtained a lake-blue ring from the junction of the cup handle and the cup wall.

"Is this what you mean, Your Excellency the Witch?"

The witch was not surprised that Lilith had recognized her.

This is not some clueless foreign girl; this is a Saint of Sequence Three.

With a little more effort, you might just become a big shot who stands on the same level as yourself.

The witch simply said in her signature tone:

"This is the corrupted power of the Dark Lord. It is an extremely dangerous thing; carrying it with you will surely bring terrible things!"

However, Lilith simply wore the lake-blue ring directly on her left hand.

In that instant, her eyebrows involuntarily twitched slightly.

But instead of trying to hide it, she raised her eyebrows even higher and said:

"It's truly a wondrous power."

"Please do not be misled by its power. People in the past were bewitched by its strength, which led to the terrifying Dark Lord gaining power."

Lilith tilted her head and smiled:

"But how do I know that Sauron forged these rings with pure goodwill?"

"Take this one in my hand, for example. The beautiful lake-blue ring, possessing healing and protective powers. Lord Elron, the Golden Flower Lord who once wielded it, is still safe and sound to this day!"

"Even Lord Elron wore it on the battlefield against the Dark Lord!"

"For example, the fire ring Naya, which resists despair and domination, and the water ring Nengya, which protects itself from evil, are both held by elves."

"Among them, the Water Ring was once held by the Shadow Sun."

"But to this day, they are all perfectly well!"

In response to Lilith's explanation, the witch simply said seriously:

"It was precisely because it was discovered to be an ominous treasure that Lord Elron, the Golden Flower Lord, resolutely embarked on the path of fighting against the Dark Lord."

"And in the end, he gave up the Azure Ring he possessed, as well as the Water Ring and the Fire Ring, which were also held by the elves but were given to him in full."

Lilith narrowed her eyes slightly and said:

"But they truly possess no evil power; in fact, they have often been used to combat evil! Because their creation stems from pure goodwill!"

The witch's voice and demeanor changed slightly for the first time.

It was no longer so full of sorrow, but rather carried a hint of anger:

"It comes from a kind of goodwill that is full of playfulness and mockery!"

"The Dark Lord understands human nature and the human heart, so he did not imbue these nineteen rings with any terrible curses, because he knew that once they were given away, they would become the most terrible curses!"

"The fallen human monarchs, the horned people who killed each other, the giants who fell into self-doubt, the goblins who were almost slaughtered, and many other things that followed all proved that these terrible rings were ominous objects!"

Lilith scoffed:

"The nine human monarchs who became Ringwraiths offered themselves up on the altar. The Horned Men have always been brutal, and the Giants have only learned the ugliness of humans but not their hypocrisy."

"And those goblins? They only brought this backlash upon themselves by abusing their power!"

"As for what happened after that, it has been proven time and time again that it was just the user who fell into depravity."

"The three Golden Flower Lords, who have remained unchanged to this day, are the best proof that the rings have never corrupted any of them. The four dwarven master craftsmen who burned their own rings are also typical examples."

She raised her left hand, adorned with the Azure Ring, and addressed the witch before her:

“My dear witch, it is always human beings who have fallen, not the ring.”

Looking at the ring on her hand, the witch found herself increasingly unable to suppress her anger.

She couldn't even understand where this anger came from.

So after a moment, she looked at Lilith seriously and said:

“I used to think what you said made a lot of sense, but now I believe the records left by countless sages. This is definitely an ominous thing that will cause disputes!”

"Because you are also fascinated by this power, so you want to seize it?"

In response to Lilith's sarcastic tone, the witch spoke earnestly:

"I'm going to destroy it!"

After realizing that she really intended to do so.

Lilith, however, slowly retreated with a slight smile on her lips.

“If it were any other ring, I would have had to give it to you with great regret, but since it is the Azure Ring, Viya, then it’s different!”

The Ring of Vya, representing protection and healing, sheltered Lilith as she left the witch in a world that was gradually fading away.

Watching Lilith leave so confidently, the witch finally understood for the first time what the nineteen rings forged by the Dark Lord truly represented.

“What a terrifying force.”

The witch only wanted to destroy the ominous ring, not actually kill Lilith.

So she had no choice but to give up, and she didn't believe that she could be completely foolproof if she really went all out.

The power of that ring was too bizarre.

But what puzzled her was the origin of these rings!

Uniqueness?

It seems wrong; they are not as unique as uniqueness, but they also surpass the forces outside of uniqueness.

It's incredibly powerful.

Meanwhile, Lilith solemnly removed the Azure Ring from her hand.

After a brief hesitation, she placed it directly in the palm of her left hand and clenched it tightly.

She wanted to crush the ring.

Faced with Lilith's strong determination, even the seemingly indestructible Azure Ring began to show slight changes.

But that's not enough; that's not enough to destroy it.

So Lilith's left hand began to become illusory; it no longer resembled her hand, but rather a man's hand.

Two arms, seemingly real yet imperceptible, overlapped.

It was when this hand, which resembled a man's, appeared that Lilith gripped it tightly.

Spiderweb-like cracks began to appear in the world in her palm and continued to spread outwards.

Finally, Lilith heard the sound she wanted to hear—the sound of metal and gems shattering!

The feel of the ring in my hand also proved that it had shattered.

It worked!

Realizing this, Lilith didn't even look at it before raising her illusory left hand and drawing an ancient inscription in front of her.

He moved himself directly from Capua in the Eastern Roman Empire to Pompeii in the south.

As Lilith was being dragged away, a pair of enormous vertical pupils opened in the sky above, accompanied by a terrifying breath that seemed to make the entire Old World tremble.

After finding nothing unusual, the enormous vertical pupil vanished in an instant.

At the same moment, as the vertical pupils disappeared, a giant wolf with a completely silvery-white body leaped into the void.

After carefully sniffing around, the giant wolf disappeared.

After waiting for a few moments without spotting Lilith pursuing them, he collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
