Chapter Ninety-Seven: Breaking into the Demon Cave Again
Of course, it was impossible for Walder to know what I was thinking at this time, but he sneered and said, 'What can you say about winning or losing!' If it had been us in the first place, I am afraid that the fate of those white elves would not have been much better than this....'
'So if the Demon King does wake up again, you will still fight for it?' I don't know why, at that time, I felt a faint uneasiness in my heart...
'This is our mission.' Wald's tone was calm when he said this, but it was this calmness that frightened me all the more.
'Even if that happens, what if it causes misery?'
'Well, the world has abandoned us anyway, so why should we care what will happen to it?' Wald shrugged with a sneer.
When I heard this, I had to bow my head helplessly and smile bitterly...
'What are you laughing at?' Wald asked.
"It's nothing, anyway, thank you for the reminder, 'Bezukhov' I still have to go, Ah Zi will ask you.'
"In that case, then I wish you good luck, and you can rest assured that Ah Zi will hand it over to us."
'Hmm.' I smiled and nodded, looking at Wald in front of me with an indescribable melancholy in my heart.
Due to the urgency of the situation we did not stay in the camp for long, Lance found a few more people to replace the vacancy left by Tony, and then set off again, in view of the lesson of the previous time, we did not stop this time, but rushed to 'Bezuhof' in the starry night, thankfully there were no more twists and turns on the way, and three days after Anna was captured, our group was again in this 'devil's lair'.
'Who?' We were stopped by the vampires who were on guard before we were some distance from the castle, and it seemed that they were about to become frightened birds after what happened last time.
'We are from the tribe of Yasan, and we have come to meet His Highness Dacula!'
'Oh, who should I be, it's Louie, why did you come here all of a sudden?' The vampire in charge of the guard seemed to know Louie, and as he spoke, he waved his black wings and landed in mid-air.
'Oh, it's Mistress Bertrand, it's been a long time, how are you doing?' Seeing this, Louis hurriedly greeted thousands of people and said with a humble attitude.
"Oh, there's been an accident in the castle lately, and we've been ordered to take precautions, or who wants to hang around in this hellish weather.'" Bertrand grumbled, rubbing his hands on his body subconsciously, which was undoubtedly rude for a vampire who had always valued elegance, showing how cold it was at this time.
"It's really hard for you, by the way, we just brought some good wine this time, I'll get you a pot and drink it to make sure you are warm.'" Louis was a clever man, so he went to the basket with the gifts, turned out a jug of wine, and handed it to Bertrand.
'That's not very good...,' Bertrand hesitated as he held the flask.
'It's okay, just a little thought...'
'Well, then I'm going to be disrespectful. By the way, what are you doing here?' Bertrand asked as he took the wine.
"Oh, I heard that Bezukhov was attacked a few days ago, so we didn't feel at ease, so we came to see if we could help something, and we also brought some local products to show our feelings.'
'Oh, I can't see it, hasn't your leader Lance always been reluctant to cooperate with us?' Why are you so kind this time?'
"Hey, do you know, the white elves in the east have been getting more and more arrogant recently, and our territory is getting smaller and smaller, and our leader saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so he changed his mind and wanted to take refuge under the command of Lord Dacula, so that he could have a care in the future, right?"
"Hehe, our Lord Dacula took the initiative to show favor several times before, and your leader didn't appreciate it, and now he knows that he has come to defect when he is desperate, so why bother in the first place.'
"Who's to say it's not, aren't we going to make amends, and bother you to say a few nice words in front of all the adults.'"
"This is easy to say, then you just wait here first, I'll go back and report to you, there has been an accident in the castle recently, and Shangfeng is now very tight on the guards, you must not wander around, otherwise there is something accident, don't blame me for not warning in advance."
'Understand, we don't move.'
Bertrand nodded and took off towards Bezukhov, while another vampire with him remained in mid-air and continued to watch over us.
'There won't be any problems, right?' Xiao Jia whispered behind me, maybe she has been a fugitive for a long time, this girl seems a little cautious wherever she goes.
'Don't worry, Louis and Wald, they've been here a few times before to return their gifts, and they're basically familiar with this group of guys, and they won't be suspicious for a while.' Lance was as calm as ever, and didn't seem to take Bertrand's previous ridicule to heart. I feel that except for the princess, it doesn't seem to care about anyone's evaluation and opinion of itself, and in this respect, it really has the bearing of a party leader.
'Now it's up to you to act, Lord. If we let the Dakurah see the flaws, our group will probably be wiped out.' Because the princess's beauty is too impressive, so today she deliberately wrapped the whole person tightly, revealing only those bright star-like eyes, fortunately, 'Bezukhov' here has been in the wind and snow for many years, and this outfit does not seem so abrupt.
'Don't worry, dear princess, I won't let you down at any time...'Hey, hey, can you please not say it with such a haughty expression!?' Anyway, from the back, it looks like it's really right with the princess, not to mention the beauty of the elves, and Lance's temperament and demeanor are not comparable to me as a mercenary from a poor background, and sometimes I look at it talking and laughing with the princess, and my heart is really a little awkward.
At this moment, there was a sudden squeak sound in the distance, and when I looked up, Bezukhov's gate slowly opened, and then a team of vampires flew out of it, and when they came to our group, they slowly fell, led by a young man with a proud expression, who was actually Dacula's son, George, the young master of Bezukhov, it seemed that Dacula really looked at Lance and his gang differently, and actually sent his own son to greet him.
'Chief Lance, long time no see.' After landing on the ground, George politely greeted Lance, unlike his father's old and sophisticated, George revealed an unconcealed arrogance and coldness whenever and wherever he was, even if he greeted you with the most enthusiastic language, you can still feel the contempt in his heart for you, like the contempt of humans seeing ants.
'It's a pleasure to see you again, young lord.' But to say that the arrogant Lord Lance on our side is not far behind, although the words are polite, but it doesn't even get off the horse at all, and the tone is also a high-minded, ignorant look.
"You..." The vampires who were following George immediately stopped doing it when they saw this, and stepped forward to scold, but George stretched out his hand to stop them.
'Thou shalt not be rude.'
'But young master, this kid is also too deceitful!'
'My father has taken care of the leader of Reims and is our most honored guest, and I must not be slackened in the slightest to step down!' ”
