9. Shandelburg

The castle is a condensation of years of war and secession, imprinted with blood and an obscurantist past.

Witches, religion, heresy.

Before the battle of Nadis, they were full of war, and they were dense and majestic, entrenched in lofty mountains and fertile plains. Today, it is either demolished or abandoned.

Eve was still asleep, and she was obviously not very comfortable in her dreams, and she would make a soft hum. Desi and Alan cross three moats to reach the outer perimeter of the castle.

Alan stood at the gate of the castle, the gate tightly closed. On the outer city wall, zombies on horseback can also be seen galloping and patrolling, and after noticing the traces of people, they raise their pitch-black bows, pull on the strings, and aim their black arrows at Alan, Desi, and Eve.

Desi recited the incantation, and a chain of bone made of sharp teeth slammed into the zombie, tearing its body apart, and falling straight from the high wall, and falling to the ground with men and horses.

Alan suddenly got a little tired, and dealing with these virtual zombies layer by layer was very boring.

"Desi, let's move in."

"However, there is a protective spell on the perimeter of the castle. Moreover, your health is not good, and moving will consume a lot of ......" Before Desi finished speaking, Alan held Desi's shoulder, and a silver circle was drawn on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared outside the castle.

Approaching the castle's shield, Alan commanded, "Bring it to a boil." ”

"Yes." Desi's bony mouth erupted with a huge Netherfire, burning the transparent, glass-like barrier into a large hole, and they flashed through the gap and stopped directly on the silver magic circle in front of the main castle.

The main castle was the highest of the castle, and the restless power in Alan's chest loomed, but was quickly suppressed. He looked at the main fort, not like Yaxing, who had been besieged and besieged by ancient warriors for a long time, and instructed Desi, "Burn the bottom, and we will wait for her to come out by herself." ”

"Yes, master." Desi placed Eve on the grass, and the lawn in the castle was softer and greener than the one outside the castle. Desi turned into a circle of white shadows, moving quickly around the castle, and with a wave of Senbai's big palm, a large ball of flames overflowed from the palm, surrounding the main castle on all sides.

Alan quietly looked at the raging fire outside the main castle, and said to Desi with a rare hint of apology, "Excuse me, Desi." ”

"Being able to serve the master is the biggest ...... of Desi"

"Alan!" Before Desi could finish speaking, there was a terrible scream over the main castle, and a huge crow rushed into the sky, and then slid straight down, its huge claws slamming towards Alan.

A shield made of skull phalanges floated in the air, bouncing the crow's claws back, and the flames of the stars burning on the phalanges burned the epidermal cells on its claws even more fiercely.

"Alan, what are you doing burning my castle when you're idle?" The crow rested on the ground, grew smaller and flew onto its master's shoulder. Jona stroked her pet's injured paws and silently chanted a spell, and the cells quickly replicated and grew, allowing the dead skin to rejuvenate.

She had long black hair, bright white skin, and wore the large and ornate dress of a noblewoman. Don't be too tired to panic, Alan thought to himself.

"I should be asking you, what are you doing when you are idle, and you have nothing to do with taking Fern to Shandelburg?" Alan blamed resentfully and didn't treat her like a lady.

"Catch?" Jona glared at him, "I invited Fern to my castle as a guest, how can I be arrested?" But you, who set fire to it without saying a word, are similar to robbers. But don't forget, Fern is still inside, hurry up and let your little skeleton put out the fire, beware of burning him. ”

Alan glared at Jona, a little dissatisfied with the concern in her words, but considering the Fern inside, he still spoke, "Desi." ”

"Yes." Desi walked to the edge of the castle with understanding, put an end to the fire that burned the blackened walls, and Fern, who had been staying in the main castle and did not dare to go out rashly, finally relaxed, lowered the heavy gate and came out of it.

"Now that Fern is here, I don't care about you." Alan looked at Jona magnanimously, like a pope who forgives ignorant people, "Desi, carry the people, and we will go back to Otto." ”

Only then did Jona notice Eve lying on the ground, and at first glance, she thought it was Otto's Lady Suppression who he had snatched back from Gary, and was obviously taken aback, "Alan? You've finally done something that a normal male would do...... This girl is so beautiful, with blond hair and skin that is more delicate than the white roses in the garden, I wonder what she will look like when she opens her eyes? I've always dreamed of having such a beautiful doll...... Oh my God, great god of darkness, you let a skeleton hold her? ”

Fern walked up to Alan and Jona from the city gate, and he looked at Jona hesitantly, then at Allen, and stopped in confusion.

"Fern?" Alan turned his head, "It's time to go back to Otto." ”

"This, master......" Fern stole at Jona, as if he were a thief, very hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Eren didn't have a good breath, and it was clear that the meeting with Jona was very unpleasant.

Jona couldn't hold her breath for a moment, "You can't go back to Otto." ”

Fern's eyes widened in surprise, apparently stunned by Jona's blunt words, and then a little embarrassed. And Alan turned around slowly, and Ying's eyebrows slowly raised, "Oh? Tell me, why? It was even more confusing to Fern.

Jona also learns black magic with him, although he can't beat Allen, but after all, he is Otto's countess princess, don't look at Jona's age is younger than Allen, if it comes to kinship, Allen has to call Jona......

"Don't you know?" Joanna looked at the dark forest at the foot of Shandel Mountain, and said seriously, "I also heard about it when I went to the market the day before yesterday. Not long ago, the king of Gari recruited warriors on the continent of Luo'an, regardless of their origins, regardless of their background, as long as they can help the king fulfill his wishes, they can get great rewards. Later, a dark mage from Otto went to enlist, openly saying that he wanted to help the king, but secretly, he went around the palace of Gary to "steal" people, including a baroness. After the incident, the black mage quietly escaped from the Imperial Capital of the Emperor, and the soldiers who went to his house to inspect found many taxidermy organs, bloody scalpels, and corpses with disembowelments, the clothes worn by the missing attendants. ”

"The Curaro Black Forest is at the border, and from here, it's Otto's border." Alan looked at Jona disapprehantly, meaning that as long as they reached the Otto border, nothing would happen.

"My dear Highness, because of this incident, His Majesty the King of Gary is very angry, and has ordered that the black mage must be found. He thinks that the Black Mage is likely to be smuggled into Otto from the Black Forest of Curaro, so he communicates with your father, hoping to send the priests and troops of the Church of Gary to find out who is causing trouble in the Gary Palace. Jona looked at Alan with a face that you really Too young, too simple Tucson was, "After all, it was Otto's black magician who committed the crime, and His Majesty agreed with ease, just asking Otto's army and team to watch together." At this moment, all the black magicians are hiding well, and if you go there, and then let people check, it must be the key object of suspicion. ”

Alan frowned, and Fern interjected, "But there are also our own troops and teams at the border, as long as it is stated that it is the prince of Otto, the Gari people will not detain it." ”

"Fern, you're stupid." Jona glanced at him and criticized, "Alan is a dark mage with deep magic at first glance, and his storage ring is full of skeletons, bone dragons, corpses, and ghosts, not to mention the ability to commit these things." At the same time as the incident, he happened to be in Gary again, imagine that the prince of Otto entered Gari's territory without greeting the officials on the border of Gary without knowing it, you say, what should the king of Gary think? ”

"It's a matter involving the royal family, so it's better to be cautious. It would not be good if the peace that the two countries had maintained for a hundred years was destroyed. Fern felt that made sense, and nodded in agreement.

Alan gave him a hard look.

Fern shrank his head and continued to grit his teeth, "Master, why don't you stay in Her Highness Jona's castle for a few days?" When the limelight has passed, we will set off back to Otto. ”

Alan didn't speak, and continued to look at him with pity.

A chill ran behind Fern's back, but looking at Jona, he still insisted, "Master, so am I...... Also for your good. If you worry about it for the sake of these few days, it will really outweigh the losses...... Master, don't you see? ”

"......" After Allen weighed the pros and cons, he could only grit his teeth and compromise, "Okay." ”

Jona still had a straight face, and she was ready to fight with Alan if he didn't agree, and she was secretly relieved when she heard Allen's agreement. With a big smile on his face, he went to take Alan's hand enthusiastically, "Dear ......"

Alan dodged Jona, looked at her gloomily, and headed for the main castle with a cold snort.

Jona pounced, she flattened her mouth, and felt that she was really an unlovely relative.

Desi followed Alan step by step, the outside of Shandelburg looked cold and cold, but the inside of the main castle was warm and soft. The velvet carpet lay out on the warm red stalls, and Alan felt particularly uncomfortable, and he watched from room to room, with pale blue and turquoise decorations, his brow furrowed from the time he saw Jona, and the folds grew darker and darker as the colors of each room became more girly.

"Alan, I know it's nice to have a room, and you'd love it." Jona and Fern followed him, and Alan's frowning brow finally stretched a little when he heard Jona's words. But he was reluctant to accept Jona's kindness, so he could only look reluctant, "Okay, please take me over." ”

……

When Alan stood at the door of the room, his eyes widened in "surprise" and let out a "sigh", and Jona pointed to the room happily, "How is it, it's very good, it's all carefully arranged by me, I'm sure you'll like it." ”

Alan must have been speechless in surprise, and by the time he reacted, Jona was ready to let him move in.

Alan finally couldn't help it, and Desi could hear the clucking of his teeth in the upper and lower jaws clenching together.

"Kalami." He angrily pointed to the overwhelming pink and said to Jona, "You let me live in such an ugly place? ”

"Ugly?" Jona looked at him in surprise, "This place is so beautiful, only such a beautiful place is worthy of a delicate little princess." "Jona looked at Eve in Desi's arms, like a delicate doll, white porcelain skin, charming hair, lying in a sea of pink, it was so perfect.

"Your Highness Jona, it's almost dinner time, I have to go to the kitchen to prepare first." Fern pulled out his pocket watch and looked at it.

"Okay, Fern." Jona heard that dinner was coming, and she didn't care which room Alan chose to live in, "It's going to be too hard for you to be alone, I'll help you chop vegetables." ”

Alan watched them leave one after the other, the veins on his head jumping non-stop.

Desi looked at Allen, then at the pink bed, and tilted his head slightly, "Master, are you going to live here with Miss Eve?" ”

Alan was so disgusted by the color pink that he couldn't even take a second look, he went straight out the door, ready to find another room that was slightly more tolerable, and before leaving the door, he didn't forget to order, "Throw her here." ”

Desi rubbed his head, pulled the veil open, and placed Eve on the soft bed, carefully covering the quilt. Just go out behind Allen.
