After realizing this, Liao Qi sighed in his heart, his mood was a little complicated, in fact, he didn't have much hostility towards the girl, on the contrary, he even had a lot of affection for Erin.

After all, this is what the eldest lady has exchanged for her silent actions again and again.

Even if you are a person with a cold heart, anyone will be touched by such a silent girl who is good to you, not to mention that Liao Qi is not a piece of ice in the first place.

The stakes between him and Erin are very simple, it is nothing more than a contract, and Liao Qi even fantasized about whether he could continue to restore his relationship with Erin after the contract was terminated, even if it was just to be a friend.

After all, since Liao Qi came to this world, the first person he saw was the desperate and helpless lady at the beginning.

The first person he knew was Irene.

"Zero, let's go back to the castle first." After Liao Qi was silent for a while, he still reminded the maid loudly, so that Zero could take his attention away from Erin and shift his attention to the current situation.

They also have the so-called "whether the attackers will come back" threatened.

"Lord Liao Qi, I can please... Carrying the eldest lady on your back? The maid temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart, and she pushed Erin, who was confused and feverish, to Liao Qi's position again.

Don't look at what the maid said before, but in fact, Zero's physical condition is not much stronger than Erin, and even running away with the girl on her back now can't be done.

"Well, let's go."

Liao Qi took over Erin again, and he found that the girl's body was hotter than before.

However, unlike at the beginning, under Zero's explanation, Liao Qi knew that this was because Erin's bloodline was being affected by his power and was being "pulled down" to fuse.

What happens when the girl wakes up and finds that she has changed from a "genius" to a "waste" overnight?

"Lord Liao Qi, what happened today... Please don't tell anyone, please keep it a secret for the lady. Zero also thought of this, and the maid's expression was very gloomy.

After nodding, Liao Qi and the maid finally walked out of the grotto, and they came to the canyon outside.

This is the place where Liao Qi was going to hunt the Demon Tyrannosaurus before, if the maid had a heart, she might be able to find another suspicion that could suspect Liao Qi, but obviously the current Zero does not have this meticulous thought.

"Great, it's not far from the castle, we'll be safe soon!" The maid was just glad that they were still within the realm of the Bloodline.

The two of them ran through the dense forest with Erin, who had a high fever, taking advantage of the night, during which Zero was always on guard, looking behind from time to time, for fear that the previous attacker would suddenly chase after him.

And Liao Qi didn't talk much, he was thinking about how to face the girl next.

With Erin's protection, there is a balance between him and the girl, which can ensure that the other party will not use the contract to restrict him, as for the conditions of "subverting the academy" proposed by Erin next...

Maybe...

Isn't it impossible?

The forces behind the academy must be very large, otherwise it would be impossible to establish such a huge experimental island, but the academy in Erin's mouth should only refer to the academy forces on this island.

If this is the case, Liao Qi feels that he should be able to work hard.

After all, even if he really broke the contract, he would definitely not continue to stay here, and if he wanted to return to the Human Continent from here, he would definitely need to rely on the teleportation array in the academy.

Otherwise, the human continent is far away, and Liao Qi will never let himself swim over from the huge "Dread Claw Sea", right?

Besides, judging from the experience of the fairy woman and Sophie, the other party may be the character controlled by the "player" of this work, if combined with the name of the plan that this academy is underway...

Séance.

The gods of the higher dimensions, the so-called... Players?

This is just Liao Qi's speculation, but since he can be summoned here, such a possibility is not impossible.

In short, it seems that the source of everything is directed to the head of the "academy", if he can't explore the secrets and truths clearly, Liao Qi always has a hunch, and he will definitely suffer from it in the future.

So...

Just before parting, fulfill a wish for Erin and make up for the girl...

Liao Qi found a lot of reasons for himself, and finally persuaded him, and made up his mind to help this eldest lady of the blood clan fight against the academy.

Oh, not a confrontation, but ...

Destroy.

"Lord Liao Qi, bring... With Miss... From this side..."

The shadow of the tall castle not far away was faintly visible under the moonlit night, and the maid's wounds deepened due to the strenuous exercise all the way, and the frightened escape made the maid even more exhausted.

Zero's speech was intermittent and weak, and when she saw that the familiar majestic castle finally appeared in her field of vision, the maid finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on her face eased a lot.

They're safe!

In order not to let outsiders know about Irene's condition, the maid took Liao Qi and sneaked in quietly through a hidden back door in the ancient castle.

Zero pursed his lips as he passed through this inconspicuous back door, and his eyes seemed to flash with a few flashes of memory, because this place was the same place that Irene had made out of the castle when she had sneaked out of the castle with them.

But who would have thought that when she used this hidden back door again, it would be such a miserable situation now.

"Let's go to Miss's room first." Shaking her head, leaving these messy emotions behind, the maid lowered her voice to Liao Qi.

After the two of them walked into the first floor of the castle, fortunately, it was late at night, the servants had already rested, and the corridor was quiet.

As for the guards, they are basically non-existent, as the blood clan of the high-ranking demon race, no other race will ever attack them.

The faint candlelight flickered on both sides of the corridor of the castle, and Liao Qi carried Erin in his arms, and walked up the stairs with the maid to the bedroom on the third floor.

Click...

Zero, as Irene's personal maid, also guards the room for Erin part-time, and after the maid skillfully opened the door of the girl's house, after confirming everyone around, she beckoned to Liao Qi, who was hiding in the corner.

After quickly flashing sideways, with a soft "squeak" sound, in the closed room of the eldest lady, the three of them completely ended this "escape" journey.

"Zero..."

After all the way, Erin's state seems to have improved a little, at least although her sanity still looks burned and confused, she can finally say something.

After she was carried to the soft bed, Erin, who was covered with the quilt, barely opened her eyes.

The first thing the girl saw was a maid with a concerned face, and the second time, when she saw Liao Qi next to Zero, the dizzy girl subconsciously said:

"Don't... Don't..."

"Don't leave me..."
