Since Xu Nan arrived in the Universal World, the effect of this unstable portal has become ...... It's even more unstable.

Although the Drift Bottle can be teleported at any time, if you want to teleport a creature, the time requirements are more demanding.

Fortunately, Xu Nan estimated it, and it was still too late.

Soon, Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess also gave feedback.

Unexpectedly, the other party agreed very happily, and promised that the person sent would make Xu Nan very satisfied, and he was a macho man among macho men!

Looking at the entry that Evelyn replied, Xu Nan even hesitated a little:

"This chick can't have a misunderstanding of my wording, right?"

"It should ...... No way? ”

But he was soon relieved.

He doesn't have too high requirements for the reinforcements of the four princesses, as long as they don't get too wet.

After all, he had other arrangements.

The intelligence cost of more than 10 million Heng gold coins was not spent in vain.

Soon, Xu Nan quietly placed the portal in a fixed place, made an appointment with Evelyn about the teleportation time, and then put this matter in the back of his mind.

Alone, he began to make some arrangements around the city. In order to ensure that he was not perceived by the existence in the Ghost Mother Forest, he spent a high amount of constant gold coins every time, and used the Paradise Lost system to shield the prophecy.

It can be said that for the sake of the emerald mine, Xu Nan has made a bloody investment.

Or, after all, he couldn't bear to watch Wildfire City, a somewhat cute city, go completely to the abyss of extinction.

Xu Nan knew very well that he had never been a good person, and Ron's attributes as a warlock determined this; But that doesn't stop him from saving some innocent lives when he's in a good mood.

These days of getting along with each other made him feel the straightforward and lovely side of the ice people, and it is no wonder that Irene, who is a hybrid of Efaria and the ice people, would choose to stay in this cold city.

They are tenacious and tenacious, like pines and cypresses in the cold wind; Maybe it's not flexible, maybe it's too straightforward, but that kind of hard-working and free and easy attitude to life deeply makes Xu Nan feel the charm of this city.

Even in his eyes, Barnes, who is obviously controlled by the evil god, has a cute trait unique to the Ice Plains.

He didn't want the city to repeat the mistakes of Archmage Jules, and he didn't want the tragedy that had happened in that super-magical civilization to happen again.

Maybe these are more important things than emeralds.

"Ahem, at least at least...... It's an important thing. ”

Xu Nan added in his heart.

……

The day before Mudon's Day.

Xu Nan, as usual, left the city lord's mansion, took a carriage given by Barnes, and came to an ancient theater.

There's a stage play about Erin, and it's being rehearsed here.

I heard that most of the plot has been rehearsed to the end, and only the final finale, Erin has never been willing to announce it, and this matter has become a matter of conversation among the residents of the city.

After all, in this remote northland city, where even circuses are rare, entertainment facilities are too poor.

Her treacherous and wonderful story has deeply attracted the people of the ice field.

As soon as Xu Nan got off the carriage, he heard several actors from the stage play discussing the plot in the early stage.

Their expressions were excited, as if chasing stars.

Xu Nan walked over, and they greeted them warmly.

After all, these days, Xu Nan was frantically brushing his face in Wildfire City, and Barnes seemed to be happy to push this puppet city lord to the forefront - so everyone tacitly knew Xu Nan's "quirks", most of them called the city lord, and a few called Mr. Su.

"Lord Castle, are you here to find Ms. Irene?"

A small attendant came up with a noticeable bruise on his forehead.

Xu Nan frowned and nodded slightly.

The little attendant had a bitter face: "Ms. Erin...... Something isn't in a good mood. ”

"Can you persuade her?"

There was the sound of smashing things in the theater, mixed with some vicious scolding, and the little Afarian girl Xu Nan met at the beginning had already been judged as two.

"I'll take a look."

Although he has no substantive power, many people are willing to give him a face.

The people outside dispersed, and the actors inside happened to be expelled by Irene.

Xu Nan walked over and said hello.

Erin was holding a thick stack of scripts, with surprisingly heavy bags under her eyes, and she probably hadn't slept well for many days.

She turned around and heard footsteps, like an angry lioness, the whole person arched slightly, and just wanted to get angry, but found that it was Xu Nan, and her expression was slightly better: "It turned out to be the city lord." ”

"Are you here to see my jokes?"

"Tomorrow is the final party, but these idiots can't meet my demands...... I'm going to mess it up......"

Xu Nan walked over and looked at her fixedly:

"I just came to see you. Relax a little ......"

Erin jumped up irritably, waving the manuscript in her hand: "How do you let me relax?" ”

Xu Nan shrugged: "None of them are professional actors. ”

"Or you might as well make the ending public in the form of a straight one."

"No, you can't!" Erin glared and said stubbornly, "Green said the same thing, he has been scolded by me." ”

"It's art! Do you understand? ”

"Only the situation of the stage play can perfectly express the story in my heart!"

"You don't understand...... You don't understand......"

She repeated the word over and over again.

Xu Nan was a little distressed, he took a step forward and opened up all the charm-related specialties!

"You need to rest......" His voice was low and gentle, with a strange magnetism.

Who knew Erin didn't buy it at all.

A strange green flashed in her eyes, and she glared at Xu Nan and said:

"Do you want to take a peek at my manuscript while I'm resting? Don't think about ......"

Before her words fell, the whole person went limp and collapsed.

Xu Nan looked at Green who came out of the curtain speechlessly, and he was still holding a stick in his hand.

He was the one who smothered Erin with a stick.

"She's been sleeping like this for the past few days......"

Green didn't look very good, either: "She looks like a completely different person. Mr. Xu Nan, I know that something must have happened, her eyes, I have seen it in Barnes, although I am not smart enough, I can also feel that something big must have happened. ”

"You must know, don't you?"

Xu Nan was silent.

Green smiled bitterly, "I know that with my intellect, I may not be able to understand these things; But can you save her? ”

"Wildfire used to be terrible, and now it looks better, but I always feel panicked."

"You've asked me not to go out these days, but I can't help but go out anyway, and when I see people with smiles on their faces, I always feel that none of this is real."

"It seems to be ......"

Xu Nan interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

Ron Warlock's bloodline perception was still very accurate, and although Green didn't know what was happening, he also sensed the gradual arrival of that evil being.

In this matter, Xu Nan has actually always wanted to exclude the 999 trio.

The main thing is to protect them, except for Susan, the combat power of the other two is really worrying - Ron Warlock has never been known for his combat effectiveness, even Xu Nan himself, if he does not have the level of an Apocalypse Warlock as a support, he is essentially a weak chicken.

"I'll try."

Xu Nan thought for a while: "Something else, I can't say it for the time being." ”

"But I promise that after tomorrow, everything will be fine."

Green breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly bowed to Xu Nan.

"Then Erin, please."

Xu Nan walked over, gently picked up the unconscious Alfaria girl, sighed, and turned around and walked into the shadows behind the scenes.

In the darkness, there was a faint sound of dripping water.

It's like a ghost's chuckle.

……

Evening, ghetto, familiar second floor.

"What have you done to me? Where is this? ”

The girl jumped up from the couch, her eyes glaring, her hair scattered.

"This is your home."

A gentle voice came from the side.

Xu Nan took a plate of small and delicate biscuits and gently placed them on the coffee table:

"This is what Green did for you, I don't have such good craftsmanship."

Erin's expression froze slightly, and she tried to reach for Afalia's cookies, only to find that her nails were covered in blood.

"Don't worry, you didn't kill anyone."

Xu Nan smiled: "This is what you caught yourself after you fell into a coma." ”

Erin lay back on the couch a little dejected.

It was a long, long time before she whispered:

"Lord of the Castle ......"

"There's a devil in my body."

Xu Nan's expression nodded easily.

Erin's eyes were erratic, as if she was confiding in Xu Nan, and as if she was talking to herself; Her expression struggled slightly, and her speech seemed choppy:

"Actually, I know, I know...... With my mediocre talents, how could I have written such a wonderful story? ”

"All along, there was a devil who whispered in my ear before I could finish that story."

"But I'm really unwilling, I really just want to fulfill my dream......"

Xu Nan looked at her with a sincere look in his eyes:

"Is it really just your dream?"

Erin was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, she shook her head a little depressedly and said:

"No, that's ...... My mother's dream. ”

"You...... Not afraid of me? ”

Her eyes suddenly rolled, reflecting the setting sun, reflecting an eerie green color that made people palpitate.

Xu Nan approached lightly and reached out to caress her face:

"Why should I be afraid of you?"

His tone was extremely gentle, as if caressing his lover's most tender skin.

Irene's face was flushed, almost oozing blood.

Her breathing became rapid, and her whole person became a little incoherent:

"Don't do that, Lord Castle Lord......"

"I, I, I, I...... I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy...... I'm just a little bastard......"

"I know what you're going to say, but you're not allowed to say it...... What's more, there really is a devil in my body, I don't lie to you! ”

Xu Nan looked at her in surprise: "You actually know what I'm going to say?" ”

Erin lowered her head and whispered:

"Every girl knows it."

Xu Nan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The girls are really smart." ”

"But it's hard to say half that."

Erin covered her face, as if she was giving up on herself, and seemed to be plucking up her courage again: "Then you can say it!" ”

Xu Nan suddenly came to his senses, and his eyebrows flew and he said:

"Why should I be afraid of you?"

"I've eaten even the real devil."

"Maybe the one in your body is a breed I haven't tasted!"
