"What's wrong, brother," Ariel looked at Ayton suspiciously.

"Master, leave that undead alone, she's pretending to be pitiful"

"I didn't, I've regained consciousness, please, help me"

Ayton came to his senses and said to Ariel, "Oh, I'm fine"

"Mei'er, what the hell is going on" Ayton slowed down, communicating with Mei'er with his consciousness.

"It's okay, master, this undead is very cunning, Mei'er will be able to absorb her soul power immediately, and Mei'er's strength will be able to reach a higher level at that time."

"No, I still have something to do, I-I'm going to find my brother," the female undead screamed loudly in Ayton's head, her voice supplicating with a thick supplication.

What the hell is going on, who should I believe, Ayton is very entangled in his heart, it stands to reason that he should believe in the charm that he has been trying to figure out for a longer time, but his intuition tells Ayton not to trust this little succubus easily.

As the screams of the undead became quieter, Ayton finally couldn't help but shout, "Mei'er stop first, I have something to ask her"

"Master, I'll be able to absorb her in no time," Mei'er said pitifully

"Stop first"

“.... Yes, the hosts."

The female undead finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, I really, I have regained my own consciousness, it was the necromancer who had been controlling me before"

Ayton saw the female undead calm down: "You said you regained consciousness, so do you remember how you died?"

"I, I... Ahh

"Ahh Her scream just now was so terrifying, especially when it came directly to her mind.

"Brother, what's wrong with you" Ariel was worried about holding Ayton, and now even a fool could see that Ayton had a problem.

"Big brother, why don't I help you treat it," Ilully asked, leaning over and worried.

"No, I'm fine" Ayton motioned for Ariel to let go, trying to calm herself, which on the street couldn't be too conspicuous for the group.

"Master, let me absorb her"

"No, wait first, she should have remembered something" Ayton's consciousness re-entered the Dark Orb, looking at the undead huddled in the corner: "Hey, what's wrong with you"

The undead shook his head, staring blankly at Ayton. At this time, Ayton found that when the undead calmed down, his face was still quite delicate, about 25 years old, but his face was pale and peculiar to the undead, which was pitiful.

"What happened before you died, was you captured by that necromancer?"

The undead shook his head and didn't speak.

"And who is your brother?"

Still no response...

Ayton sighed, it seemed that she remembered, but she didn't want to say it: "You can rest here first"

"Ahh

"Let her stay here first, and wait for her to recover, just so that she can talk to you here, so that you don't get bored" Ayton finished speaking, and before Mei'er could reply, her consciousness withdrew from the Dark Orb.

"Did something happen to that orb?" asked Ariel in a whisper in Ayton's ear

"Well, but it's okay now," Ayton reassured, motioning for her to go back to her room and tell her again, and now they couldn't let Lan Coco and Ravel know the secrets they had on them.

......

At the same time, inside the Marquis's Palace.

"What, the mission failed" Vnovich-Ford, Marquis of Thorns, sitting upright in the noble chair, looked at Madifen coldly.

"Yes, my lord, that undead dragon is more powerful than we can imagine"

"Hmph, wearing a military-made armor-piercing crossbow and a demon resistance heavy shield, 13 people were killed, 4 were seriously injured, and 3 were lightly injured" Vonovich finished coldly and closed his eyes: "But this also proves that the gang is indeed strong, and there is more hope for the establishment of the Thorn Kingdom."

"How is the mercenary you brought back, what did he say?"

Ma Difen's body couldn't help but tremble, "He said... Someone saw us fighting in the shadows"

"That is, someone has found our armor-piercing crossbow," the marquis looked cold.

"Yes"

"Is the identity of those guys clear?"

"A blue-clad water human magician, a forest elf, and two humans, all young, they seem to have come to the Forest of Despair for the undead dragon, that is, your bounty, but fortunately they don't know who we are"

"Adventurer, hehe, do you know, that imperial envoy, Claire is in my house, I'm sure, what he found, now just wait for the evidence, once he knows the news of the armor-piercing crossbow, he will definitely point the finger at me"

Ma Difen felt her teeth chattering: "My lord..."

"Say"

"The mercenary also said that the little girl may be from the royal family, and they do have the intention to tell the official the news, but they don't know that we are private soldiers belonging to that nobleman."

"What!" said Fnovic, standing up.

"Because the girl said 'we are royal', and the other three didn't deny it"

"The blue-clothed water magician, very young," Vanovich thought, and suddenly his face was happy, "Could it be the little princess who sneaked out?"

Ma Difen also suddenly remembered that the little princess who caused the emperor's wrath was said to be the most talented magician in the Bright Blue Kingdom.

"Haha, I see" Vonovich was relieved: "Since they are here for the undead dragon, for sure"

"But, my lord, since they are on our side, why should we test their strength?" said Ma Difen from the death of his companion.

Fnovic glanced coldly at Madifen, who instantly realized that he shouldn't have asked.

"For the sake of your years of service for me, forget it this time"

"Yes, my lord" Ma Difen broke out in a cold sweat, since he followed the adult back to the land of thorns, he felt that the adult seemed to have become a little more indifferent.

"First of all," Vnovich said suddenly, "they say they have a large number of mages who can help us, but we only see a few of them black-robed mages breaking the defensive barrier set up by the forest elves in one way. ”

"And the imperial capital seems to have found clues about our secret killing of people in the royal family 20 years ago, 20 years have passed since this incident, someone must have secretly revealed it to that emperor"

"Think about it, how did that gang come to be so coincidental"

Ma Difen hesitated for a moment: "My lord, what do you mean... Those dark magicians leaked the news to Emperor Winston and forced me to rebel."

"Very likely" There was a hint of hatred in Vonovich's calm eyes: "They also mentioned my sister"

"Sister?" Ma Difen was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the Marquis assassinated him 20 years ago because his whole family was killed by that royal nobleman, and he also participated in that operation at the beginning, so he only talked to him about it now.

"Now that we have no way out, those mages probably also have information about our hidden armor-piercing crossbows, as long as they reveal it to the envoys, we will be purged"

Ma Difen took a deep breath "My lord, what should we do now"

"Put Claire and her party under house arrest, stabilize them for the time being, and imprison them if necessary, and the second Potter envoy will kill them directly, and show them their wholehearted cooperation to those magicians, I remember they call themselves the Cursed Sect, right?"

"Also, that little princess of Bright Blue, she's an important bargaining chip" Fnovich sneered twice: "There is a forest elf by their side, and now that the elf slave incident is in a uproar, they must want to rescue the remaining compatriots, I remember that there is also an elf in our auction, they will definitely save her at that time." ”

"The subordinates understand" Ma Difen bowed slightly: "What about that mercenary"

"Mercenaries, hmph, you still want revenge, send to the gladiatorial arena, and fend for yourself," Vonovich said coldly.

Knock, there was a knock on the door, and an attendant stood outside the door: "My lord, my subordinates have something to report"

"Enter"

The attendant respectfully handed the envelope in his hand to Vnovic, he glanced at it, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Sure enough, the bounty was taken, and among them was a blue-clothed magician"

......

Marquis of Thorns' Mansion, Claire usually has the specialty tea of the Land of Thorns in the courtyard, and she looks leisurely on the outside, but she is thinking about what she should do in her mind.

Since the farewell of the Luoxia Mountains, he has sent a few cronies back to report to the emperor that the Marquis of Vonovich is the mastermind behind the scenes, and that he has discovered the little princess.

In order to avoid the suspicion of the marquis, he still came to the city of thorns, and did not mention anything about the thieves, if this matter went well, he would definitely be promoted to the rank of knight when he returned, and he would make a good impression in front of the little princess. Although this is equivalent to running to the tiger's den, but behind him is a whole kingdom of Bright Blue, he doesn't believe that Vonovich dares to kill himself so blatantly, it is estimated that he also wants to trade slaves to make money and make a windfall, but he is too irrational to do so.

The two sides are at war, and it is rare to kill nobles, and if they are captured, they will save their lives by ransom.

Claire had already guessed that the disappearance of the two Potters was a secret attack by Fnovic, but she wouldn't be stupid enough to run to the outskirts to give him a chance.

The only thing he couldn't figure out was why Vnovich did it, he had heard of the exploits of the marquis, he was not like a person who took risks for money, and with his prestige in the Land of Thorns, he could be a soil emperor here.

In a trance, he suddenly thought that in recent years, because of the continuous improvement of the economy of this place, Emperor Winston has constantly suppressed the nobles in remote areas, Claire's heart gradually suspended, just.... Where did the land of thorns come from to stand up to the entire kingdom?

"What do you want to do, this is where the envoy of the imperial capital lives," the voice of the chief of the guard, Bard, sounded outside the door.

"I know that we are here to protect you on the orders of the Marquis."

"We just need to protect here, and there is no danger in this big city"

"We are also acting on orders, please forgive us," the guards said coldly, their tones could not be refused.

"Bastards, you are under house arrest, do you want to rebel, we are people sent by the imperial capital"

"It is precisely because of the Imperial Capital that we want to protect your safety"

"You—" Bard was about to argue about something, but Claire stopped him: "You guys are right here, say hello to the Marquis for me"

Suddenly, he remembered that if the mastermind behind the sale of elves was really Vnovic, his strength to break through the enchantment of elves must have the help of a mysterious person, and with strength, his ambition would also increase.

Oh no, the little princess is here, she's in danger! Claire's mood gradually sank.
