Chapter 27: Father and Son (3)

As soon as Hydra appeared, the atmosphere changed all at once.

Count Dracula hurriedly took a few steps back.

The same goes for the Countess, and so does Susan.

Dora, and the dwarves, however, didn't react.

The two sides seemed to be at a stalemate, and Count Dracula remained vigilant, staring at Hydra with wide eyes. Hydra simply put Jones in the middle of a group of dwarves next to him, and then the nine heads together stared coldly at Count Dracula.

Jones was still choking, looking at his father.

Dora quickly ran to Jones' side.

The Countess was already so shocked that she clasped her hands to her chest.

Count Dracula stared at Hydra and whispered, "Jones, come here." ”

"I don't!" Jones cried.

"Come here, do you want to be with a hydra forever?"

Jones didn't answer.

Hydra said defiantly, "What's wrong with Hydra? Sir, do you have any misunderstanding about Hydra?"

"It's none of your business! it's our family business!" roared Count Dracula.

"But where it happens to me, it's my business. I have already said that this castle is mine. This territory is also mine. Do you want to challenge me?"

Two of the snakeheads had their mouths wide open, and they looked eager to try.

Count Dracula took another step back in horror.

......

"I have a question right now. Hiding in the distance, Adair turned around and asked, "After a while, they will fight, who will we help?"

"Uh...... Master, I don't know. The butler hesitated and whispered, "If you help Count Dracula, you will definitely offend Young Master Jones, because he is now hostile to Count Dracula." Although they are father and son. If you help Hydra...... We helped a hydra wound Count Dracula, which doesn't sound right. ”

"Yes, that's the problem. Adair frowned and continued to stare with wide eyes, "Oh my God, what's going on. Who are we going to help?"

......

"Jones. The Countess took a step forward and cried out, "Come quickly, if you are still our child, you should come." Instead of following a hydra. ”

However, instead of taking a step forward, Jones glanced around and took a step back. The dwarves who understood what he meant quickly escorted him, and even a few of them had already rushed back to get their weapons and distribute them. One by one, and soon each dwarf had in his hand a weapon such as an axe, a hammer, and an iron pickaxe.

Dwarves are not weak, dwarves are never weak, they are a race that has defeated the human alliance in the Dwarven Valley with weak forces. Although they suffered a loss of magical talent compared to the blood clan, a group of dwarves stood together, and their combat power was by no means something that Count Dracula could easily solve.

Count Dracula stared at Jones blankly, a wisp of emanation hanging from his smooth forehead.

"What do you want to do? The slave strikes at the noble, and this is a death sentence!"

"They're no longer slaves. Looking at his father in a daze, Jones directly announced in a loud voice: "From now on, I give them the status of a free people." There is no need to wait to raise money to redeem themselves, now they are free. They can live freely in my territory. They are my employees, and they are free, and they have all the rights of a freedman. I will shelter them!"

The dwarves around them were all startled, and one by one they unconsciously looked back at Jones, unable to believe their ears.

"Master Jones......"

Dora tried to say something, but Jones stopped her.

All of a sudden, the scene became two distinct parties.

Count Dracula, Countess, Susan are on the one hand. Hydra, Jones, Dora, and the dwarves are one side.

"Brothers!" cried out the keg, raising his pickaxe in the air, "protect our lord, his life is at stake, our freedom, our possession!"

"Protect the lords!" shouted the dwarves, weapons raised.

Jones' eyes widened and he looked at his father with teary eyes.

Count Dracula gritted his teeth and stared at him as well.

This is a duel between the Father and the Son, and the two sides are at a stalemate.

......

In the distance, Adair was so nervous that he was almost out of breath: "Oh my God, are they really going to fight?"

"I don't know, my young master, we don't know either. The butler hesitated, "If we help Master Jones, we will be in a very awkward position if he is reconciled with his father." ”

"Actually, I'd love to help Jones, really. Adair muttered, "He's brave, worthy of my Jones brother." I want to go against my father, too, but if it's my father, maybe a hydra won't be enough. Ten heads, maybe a hundred. ”

"Young master, it's not good for you to ...... like this"

"Just talk, don't take it seriously. With that, Adair continued to stare at Jones with excitement on his face.

......

Count Dracula's mouth was slightly open, fangs baring, and his eyes slowly reddened.

Jones also opened his mouth slightly, showing his fangs, and his eyes were also red. This is a sign of the bloodline's condensation of magic.

At the same time, the nine heads of the Hydra were already slowly tilting back, which was the preparation for the Hydra before launching the attack.

Seeing that the two sides were really ready to make a move, the countess was so frightened that she hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt and stopped in the middle: "No! You are father and son! You can't do this! Stop!"

"Get out of the way, ma'am!" roared Count Dracula.

"If I don't listen to you, I'm a rebel, then I'm a rebel! I won't surrender today!" Jones roared.

"How dare you talk to me like that!" Count Dracula stretched out his left hand, and a blood-red flame rose from his palm.

Dora was so frightened that she grabbed Jones' hand, but Jones shook her off.

The same flame rose from Jones's palm. He roared, "From this day forward, I will never lie again!

The Countess tried to walk towards Jones, but the dwarves raised their weapons, and the Countess had no choice but to retreat and hold Count Dracula tightly.

"Don't do this, honey! Don't! He's still young! It's just a momentary ......."

"Mother, I'm not young anymore! I've been on the battlefield countless times! I know what I'm doing!"

"Can you shut up!" began to cry the countess. Count Dracula hurriedly grabbed her and glared at Jones.

"Sir, if you do it, please believe me, I will intervene. ”

"You can't beat us, really. As a hydra, I still have basic judgment. ”

"I advise you to take your lady back first. The little bat will be fine here, it will be fine. Maybe better than you think. ”

"He's a brilliant little bat, really. ”

The nine heads of the hydra were babbling.

Time passed bit by bit.

The night wind blew gently, swaying the branches and crushing the grass.

The Countess sobbed, and Count Dracula comforted softly, still glaring at his son.

Jones, protected by a large crowd of dwarves, stared at his father.

Dora was already nervous to the extreme.

As for Susan, she was completely stunned and overwhelmed.

The two sides are at a stalemate.

......

Adair turned around and asked, "Do you want to go back and bring more people?"

"Young Master, we haven't even figured out who we're going to help. The butler replied in a whisper.

......

Finally, Count Dracula gave Jones one last look, and said softly, "Madam, let's go back first." ”

"Hmm. The Countess, who was already teary-eyed, nodded hurriedly and glanced back at Jones. There was helplessness and reluctance in his eyes.

"Susan, let's go. ”

"Yes, uncle. Susan nodded hurriedly.

Finally, one of the opposing parties withdrew. The three of them turned into bats, flapping their wings and slowly taking off, all the way to the northeast. The Countess and Susan would occasionally look back, but Count Dracula never looked back.

Until the figures of the three disappeared into the sky, Jones sat down on the ground as if he had been drained of all his strength. The dwarves all around cheered.

"We're already free?"

"Yes! we're free!"

"Oh my God, I can't imagine that we are suddenly free!

In the midst of the jubilation, Dora stood silently, helplessly looking at Jones, who was sitting on the ground.

The nine heads of the hydra slowly turned around and looked at Jones.

Jones whispered, "Thank you, ma'am. If it weren't for you, I'd have been taken away. In this way, it will be the same as before, and I will definitely continue to achieve nothing. ”

"Don't thank me. Little bat, at least I know there is a gold mine here, so he must be wrong. But I'm afraid you won't be able to go home for a while. ”

Looking at the night sky, Jones said a little dazedly: "I won't go back for the time being, and there is no point in going back." Let's go back when we get results. ”

The tears on those cheeks haven't dried yet.

The barrel squeezed in front of Jones and shouted, "Hey, let's lift our lord up!

All of a sudden, the dwarves swarmed up and lifted Jones above his head.

"No, no, alright!" Jones finally laughed, albeit reluctantly, amid cheers. Dora laughed along, smiling silently as she stood aside.

"Although I have given you freedom, I hope you will not leave me, after all, my gold mine still needs you!"

"Of course, not only that, but we can also make you owe your wages! Hahahaha, we all know you're quite poor right now!"

"Thank you!"

"It should be us who thank you!"

Who would have thought things would turn out like this?

No one expected it, but that's how it turned out.

Hydra picked Jones up and tossed it back and forth in the air.

"Wow——! don't do that!

......

"Well, what should we do now?" asked Adair.

"I don't know, young master. The butler replied, "It seems that we are no longer needed." ”

"Shall we go out and say hello to him?"

"I think it's better not, young master. No one is going to be happy to see that scene. ”

"But I have something to look for him. ”

"Maybe we can look for him again tomorrow. ”

"Okay. Adair spread his hands helplessly: "Then let's look for him tomorrow." ”

......

Adolf stood on a cliff in the distance, looking down in silence from a high position.

......

"We can't keep our child with a hydra all the time, we have to find a way to bring him home. Although he does not seem to be in danger for the time being. ”

"I know, but we can't beat Hydra. ”

"Maybe we can turn to the Senate for help. ”

"They don't care about that, after all, Jones is voluntary. ”

"So what should I do?"

"You let me think about it first. ”

In the night sky, three bats flew slowly.

The countess was about to cry, and Count Dracula's brow furrowed. Susan fluttered her wings and followed them.

......

It's late at night.

The dwarven village is still bustling with activity, after all, something earth-shattering has just happened.

The castle was silent. Jones stood alone in front of the window, looking in the direction of the dwarven village.

The azure moonlight shone silently on him.

Dora stood cautiously beside him.

"Master Jones, from now on, we're on our own......"

"Aren't we on our own?" Jones whispered, "and, who did Gray rely on? He had no father, and before he knew me, he didn't even have a guardian angel, only a bone horse and a cat. Didn't he become the Lich King, and my father wanted to help me with all the things I didn't want. ”

The huge head of the snake appeared silently above Jones's head, and the two snake eyes looked down.

Jones glanced up at it.

"If you need my help, just say it. I may not be able to help you with anything else, but if there is a fight, I am not afraid of the Bloods. ”

"Thank you, ma'am. ”

"You can, little bat, come on. Turn this place into a thriving place. I can't wait. ”

"Yes, ma'am. I will, ma'am. ”

The head of the snake quietly moved back, drowning in the darkness.

Jones and Dora still stood quietly, looking in the direction of the dwarven village, at the jubilation.

"A lich can be a paladin, a lich can be a saint, a hundred and fifty-year-old lich can be a lich king, why can't I be a legendary blood lord? why can't I be a member of the blood senators? why do I have to accommodate others instead of changing the world myself?" Jones stared into the distance and whispered, "All disasters are due to my cowardice. He could, and I should. He is brave, and I can't be cowardly. I should learn from him and move forward steadfastly. And not like a slug, like before. That kind of character can't be the protagonist of any book. I can't lose to him, I can't lose to my father, I need to change myself, I need to ...... A new flag, a new life. The pain we endure today is for the glory of tomorrow. ”
