The lair of nothingness is slowly opening up, which means that the countdown to the arrival of the "Immortal Count" has begun.

Although Esmeralda and the other witches, or the descendants of the Twelve First Ancestors, had never actually met Samuel Winston, the Ancestors had seen that they were only slaves of the Earl's Castle before they became the First Ancestors.

The fear of Earl Samuel Winston has penetrated into the blood of the Thirteen Ancestors like a virus, leaving curses, shadows, and passing on from generation to generation.

The witch leader could feel how terrible the coming count was.

The moment she said yes to Donkey, she saw the fog break deep in the side street, and a gorgeous caravan with a tinkling speed came at a gallop, and a distorted ghost light poured out of the caravan, enveloping Donkey and Esmeralda at the same time, and pulling them inside.

Tang Qi's face moved, and he did not resist.

"Whew"

With a flash of light, the caravan disappeared into thin air, along with Donkey and Esmeralda.

......

In a breath or less, Tang Qi opened his eyes again, and he saw a very messy scene, he should be in the interior of an RV, and at the same time a very special "studio", with drawings laid out one by one, various colored inks, and some objects for daily life.

First impression: The independent space of an otaku painter, although messy, but strangely gives people a sense of peace of mind.

"The power of witchcraft. ”

Tang Qi said silently, and his gaze once again fell on Esmeralda in front of him.

The witch leader didn't seem to feel that her private space was too chaotic at all, she looked at Tang Qi, her eyes soft and full of wisdom, and she said gently, "Sally's guardian, young son of the crucible, do you have any secrets for me?"

"Ma'am, I do know some secrets that may help the Malayda Group to solve the curse permanently. ”

"But before I do that, I need to confirm one thing first, and I hope the lady can cooperate. ”

Esmeralda heard the "good news", but did not show obvious ecstasy, her expression was still calm, and she could guess that since Don Qi had asked to talk to her in the private space, it was obvious that the so-called "cooperation" was offensive.

In the outside world, there is a high probability that the fans of witches and tree monsters will be unable to bear it, and they may take action against Tang Qi.

The witch chief's guess was not wrong at all.

After just a pause, Tang Qi said again: "Madam, I need you to let go of your ...... now Soul Protection. ”

"Buzz"

"Boom"

Almost immediately, Tang Qi felt a slightly different gaze from before, falling on him.

At the same time, it also brings an incomparably terrifying atmosphere.

Esmeralda, the witch leader who has always been known as a "gentle strange aunt" and "otaku cartoonist" since her appearance, finally showed her other image at this moment.

She is the leader of a witch group, and the Merada witch group has not broken its inheritance for hundreds of years.

Zoe, the White Witch that Tang Qi had seen, couldn't compare to her at all.

Now, Tang Qi actually asked such a strong man to take the initiative to let go of his soul protection?

In a way, this is a very serious act of death.

In front of Tang Qi's eyes, the rest of the scene became blurred, only a solemn and indifferent gaze, strange fragments flickered, surrounded by extremely dangerous turbulence, and vague roars, like the whispers of the devil, continued to drill into the depths of Tang Qi's heart......

At this time, Esmeralda is extremely dangerous.

But even so, Tang Qi did not flinch in the slightest, looked directly at Esmeralda, and then said firmly: "I can help Sally, but you are different, I can't help you defeat the Count and lift the curse for no reason." ”

"I do it now, and only because of Sally, but before that, I must confirm that I will not be hurt by the allies behind me, and Madam can rest assured that I will neither do anything to your soul nor do anything blasphemous, just to confirm. ”

"If the lady doesn't trust me, maybe we can sign a contract first?"

After Tang Qi finished speaking, he stopped talking and calmly looked at Esmeralda.

The witch leader also heard his hidden meaning, and this was his final explanation, if he did not agree, Tang Qi might not say the way to lift the curse.

She had previously sent the Daughter of Destiny and the Sons of the Forge of its guardian to the End in accordance with the "prophecy".

Judging by Donkey's reaction now, the prophecy seems to be right.

The Children of the Forge have indeed found a way to lift the curse in Winstontown.

It's just that there was a little accident: the guardian of the Daughter of Destiny doesn't trust the Merada Witch Group that much.

If it were someone else, Esmeralda might have chosen to use sorcery to ask the method directly.

But the other party is the son of the furnace.

As a powerful witch, despite her dream of becoming a "best-selling cartoonist", her knowledge of the occult is undoubtedly profound, as evidenced by the large number of occult books she had given to Tang Qi before.

Esmeralda knew very well that even a young "Crucible Child" could not be fooled.

Professionals also have some invisible differences in rank strength and weakness, similar to the "Knight of Light", which is recognized as a strong professional on the mysterious side.

The Crucible Wizard is also in the ranks.

But it is also difficult to accept that she let go of the "soul defense" to win the trust of the other party.

Originally, signing a contract was a good choice, but for some reason, hearing the word "contract" from Tang Qi's mouth, Esmeralda always felt that there was a bad omen.

As a witch, she trusts her instincts.

Just when she was in a dilemma, suddenly at this moment, Tang Qi and her seemed to feel something.

"Whew"

Esmeralda pointed her finger at a drawing board beside them, but she saw the light on it, and the whole picture of Winston Town immediately came into their eyes.

A bustling town in a carnival, the thick black fog surged from the depths of the distant earth, occupying every inch of the town, and the shadows of a large number of monsters inside were wriggling, and the perspective slowly changed, sweeping the black fog, monsters, and crowds...... Eventually, it condenses in the center.

There, in ruins.

It's just that at this moment, an illusion is gradually becoming real.

It was a luxurious but terrifying castle!

It enveloped the waves of malice and terror that erupted from the lair of nothingness, and it became the source of terror.

Goo!

Without warning, the sound of water gushing out of a spring sounded in the castle.

Immediately, they flowed out.

Scarlet, viscous, blood-like "seawater" poured out of the ruined castle, not turbulent, but eerie, little by little, flowing through every corner of Winstontown, and then they began to rise.

Above the dome of heaven is the Crimson Moon.

And the ground, the scarlet seas, flooded the ground, flooded the streets, flooded the rooms and furniture, and were about to drown the crowds of revelers......

I don't know when the residents of Winston Town seem to have completely lost their "self" and have been in a carnival, even if they are about to be drowned in the bloody water, the crowd dances and sings in the water, and the splashed water sticks to everyone's face, hair, and then flows down, as if this is hell.

"Here we go!"

Tang Qi's face suddenly became solemn, and his gaze was fixed on the source of the scarlet sea.

The castle that seems to have passed through the old era, in the depths of the phantom, is the endless sea water, in the depths of them, a huge and incomparable vortex, is slowly generating, within the vortex, there seems to be the deepest darkness and horror, cold, crazy breath, began to blow out.

It was also at this moment that outside the town of Winston, which was about to be submerged, the surging black fog was frozen due to the appearance of the scarlet sea, and the wriggling and flickering monster shadows inside also froze, but only one could not breathe, as if the beast was fighting back before dying.

The black mist boiled, and the monsters struggled, and twelve roars came out of it at the same time.

"Summon the Ancestor!"

"Summon the Ancestor!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

With these roars and huge movements, in the black mist, one after another, huge altars began to appear, each different, but each one was extremely terrifying, even surpassing the aura of the witch leader in front of Tang Qi, gushing out from the depths of the altar.

The black mist, stirred by these breaths, began to fight back against the scarlet water.

At the boundary between the two, there was a sound of "zizizi".

It's as if two forces are fighting.

As for the residents of Winston Township who are caught in the middle, they don't care either way.

......

"I promised!"

Suddenly, a solemn voice sounded in front of Tang Qi.

With a turn of his head, Tang Qi saw another completely different witch leader.

Esmeralda, a look called "fear" appeared on her face.

It didn't seem like she was willing to do it, it was something that was completely in her veins.

Under her eyes, the Earl's castle with endless blood was reflected, which was the "nightmare" engraved in the blood of each generation of Merada witches. Gaining bloodline power from the Ancestors also inherited the curse.

The two are inseparable.

This is true of the Twelve Ancestors who are rebelling, and the same is true of the Merada Witches.

"What exactly do you want to verify, now is the time to start. ”

Esmeralda agreed to Donkey, but there was still doubt in her eyes.

Obviously, she thinks that the two sides should be on the same side, especially since she has already released her kindness to Sally, and even plans to raise Sally to be the next witch leader after lifting the curse, while she herself continues to pursue her dream of being a best-selling manga artist.

Under such circumstances, Tang Qi still did not trust, and the witch leader was indeed very confused.

However, the way to lift the curse is in Tang Qi's hands.

Esmeralda, there is no choice.

After she agreed, Tang Qi smiled.

He withdrew his gaze from the drawing board and looked directly at the witch leader, watching with his own eyes as layers of illusory protection disappeared into Esmeralda's body, and soon a more real witch leader appeared.

She still feels extremely dangerous to Tang Qi, but at the same time, she has also become very vulnerable.

Although it was a forced trust, Esmeralda was indeed taking a risk at this time.

Once Tang Qi has any hostility, this powerful witch leader, who has a reputation in the Secret State and even the Federation, is likely to die in an instant at the hands of a "nobody".

But the truth is, Tang Qi did want to verify something.

"Ma'am, the answer will soon be revealed, and you will not regret it. ”

"Crimson!"

The moment Tang Qi's words fell, an illusory world entangled with golden light and extreme red suddenly pulled Esmeralda's soul into it.
