In the historic castle owned by the Scarlett family, the Norreki family, whose information has not been completely blocked by the dark creatures, is constantly updating their evaluation of the Hearts seekers. From the beginning of the Soul Seeker and his party as witchers with a little ability, now most members of the Norreki family have regarded the approaching Heart Seeker and others as a powerful force to influence the tide of battle. Although some members of the family are worried that the unknown source of the Seeker and others may peek into the knowledge kept by the Noregi family, when the magic detection detects that the Crimson Castle is preparing to intercept the arrival of reinforcements, the Norreki family starts a dispute over whether to send a witch to the rescue.

"Impossible! Right now, just fighting against the dark creatures sent by the Scarlett family is already exhausting us! At this time, if we disperse our forces for the sake of an existence that is not even clear about the purpose, once the enemy takes advantage of it, or the reinforcements we observe are simply bait released by bats, it is no different from sending us to death at a disadvantage! ”

In the family meeting, the witches who opposed sending people to answer the meeting were the majority. Rejecting outsiders and treating other races with arrogance has become a common problem for almost all members of the Noregi family, and even though they are surrounded by dark creatures and betrayed by the gods they have cooperated with in the past, it is still difficult for the Norreki clan to change their old beliefs. Even when it came to life and death, most of the members of the Norreki family still took it for granted that Xunxin and others came to help, completely ignoring the fact that they were now blocked by dark creatures from the surface to the sky, they had long been regarded as a thorn in the side of gods and demons, and their status was knocked down from the clouds to the mortal dust.

But since it exists as a family with hundreds of people, there are individuals in the Noregi family who insist on sticking to it, and naturally there are also those who choose to take risks to fight their way out of the encirclement and meet the friendly forces. Holding on to your ground is indeed the safest option at the moment, but it is also a terrible option to bring the Norreji family to destruction. Ignoring the possible arrival of reinforcements from the outside world, it is indeed to avoid the possibility of being invaded into the hinterland of the Norreki family by dark creatures disguised as reinforcements. However...

"If there are no reinforcements to support, let alone a counterattack on the Scarlett family, it will be difficult for us to maintain even a one-sided defense. The underground water source is full of poison that affects our consciousness and body, under the influence of the cursed blood spread by the vampires. Without the regular supplies from humans from the outside world, I am afraid that we will not even be able to sustain the food we consume for more than three months. Those low-level dark creatures are not life, they only need magic to be continuously created, and they are used as cannon fodder to consume our magic. And we will be hurt, we will be hungry and thirsty, we will be mentally tired! Keep defending, for us there is only one way for the defense to be breached! ”

Following the promise of the Regi family's direct bloodline, and unlike the fading spirit of exploration among her elders, Salfi Norreki, who specializes in alchemy, was the first to stand up and deny her elders' decision. There is no point in defending, it is nothing more than being breached by dark creatures sooner or later. Not only will the Norregi's family's long-collected knowledge be taken away, but any witch present will probably be captured in the Crimson Castle to be used as a production machine or a large blood vial. Witches with magical powers can not only give birth to individuals with magical powers, but their blood is also a great supplement for vampires.

Convinced that the family had no choice but to venture to meet the unknown reinforcements, the truth gave Salfi a blow to the head. The patriarch, who should have made up his mind at this moment, let out a long sigh, and there was no sign of approval from the change in his face.

"Salfi, there is some truth to what you said, but don't forget that most of the magic array outside the Noreki family's residence will be lifted by the Noreki family's bloodline. We have no choice but to hope that the reinforcements that may arrive are strong enough that even the dark creatures that surround us cannot stop them, so ... ”

Many times, the habit of humans to stay the same and refuse to explore the unknown will always blind the human mind, and even after knowing that what Salfi said is true, most of the witches in the Norreki clan remain silent about Salfi's repeated proposals. Sensing the timidity and cowardice of the family members, Salfi, who was at the lowest level, had to resist the support plan that he had planned to propose to the clansmen, and acquiesced in the choice of the patriarch and the higher-ranking clansmen to stick to the family station...

"If Miss Ben listens to those fools whose brains have been rusted, then the Norreji family really has no way to destroy!!

Circumventing the magic circles scattered around the station, the unavoidable part is to rely on the barriers built by alchemy to resist or eliminate with the bloodline passed down from the Noreki clan to this day, Salfi Noreki did not even carry a single servant, and left alone with a few alchemy materials used on the way from the family station to the outside world.

Enduring the pain, he sliced through the smooth and smooth skin of his wrist with a short silver knife, and the tiny blood oozing from the wound dripped onto the magic circle at Salfi's feet. The magic array flowing with powerful magic suddenly flickered on and off like a lamp with unstable voltage, and at the same time, the triggered magic that blocked the path ahead of Salfi Norreki lost its effect.

"Presumably ... My current behavior is no different from defection in the eyes of my people... Now is not the time to think about what my people think of me, saving my family is more important than my own reputation! ”

The witch's physical strength is only comparable to that of ordinary people, and due to her long-term study and study in the workshop, Salfi's body is more fragile than ordinary people. The pitiful voice of the gasping voice echoed in the secret passage, but Salfi had to drag his sore body and run forward, Noregi's blood could only temporarily stop the operation of the magic array, and he did not want to be blown into dust by the magic array used by the family to prevent foreign enemies, Salfi could only take a step forward, and was no longer allowed to retreat.

Stumbling through the narrow, crowded passageway, Salfi finally stepped out of the magical defenses of the guardian family as the influence of blood reached its limit. And when Salfi Norregi's feet set foot on the lands outside the family, the breath of life immediately attracted dark creatures thirsting for blood. Blood-stained clay figures mixed with scarlet-eyed werewolves, and the sky around them was filled with crows and bats.

The number of enemies in front of him was desperate, and there were more than a thousand times the number of enemies in Salfi's way. But now there is no choice but to summon all the magic to pour into the metal that you carry with you, and the metal that exists in the environment turns into an incomparable blade pointing at everything that stands in your way...
