In the Stone Field, there is an unattended bookstand on which is the "Book of the Castle". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Its origin is not worth paying attention to, but what it tells is what it tells about: the unexpected death of a Canduran count who owned the estate, who was recognized as a heretic by the clergy, whose body was burned at the stake for three days and three nights, black smoke spread half of the castle, and the wails that came out of nowhere overshadowed the hymns.

But the manor was large, and neither the lords nor the knights below could live without a master, so a new woman sat in this position. The high-ranking and clergy of Canduras planned so well that no one knew about it except for a few ladies who were in charge of the countess's food, clothing, and transportation.

The succession went smoothly, even seamlessly, so that the new woman had the illusion that she was not a puppet who had been propped up, but the original countess.

She began to read the books that the countess had read, to do what the countess had done, and to learn the manners and swordsmanship that the countess had learned.

The Prince of Canduras, who single-handedly planned the death of the countess, laughed at her, saying that etiquette and swordsmanship were things that had been accumulated over time, and that there was no need to learn them with the support of him and the clergy.

Sparrows should do their duty as sparrows, why bother learning to fly in the fire.

She was silent, and in fact, she learned the things of the countess with extraordinary speed.

It's like regaining what was before.

Later, when the prince and clergy of Canduras divided the countess's wealth, the lords and knights began to complain, and she saw it all.

Finally, she learned everything.

When the clergy first tried to meddle in the affairs of her knights, she cut off the head of the cultist with her sword without saying a word, and rolled aside with a stunned countenance.

This is a sign that several castles next to the manor that do not belong to her also began to collapse on this day.

"The beginning of any revenge needs an opportunity, and now, it has come."

Pointing her blood-stained blade at the church next to the manor, she grimled with a familiar cruel smile.

Destiny is destined to be engraved here, and the wheels of history are unstoppable, just like the fall of the church, the rebirth of the countess, and she will take the blood of the prince as the cornerstone and ascend to the real high seat.

She was the Countess.

・・・

In the gloomy hall, she opened her eyes on the bleak throne, her pale and slender hands brushing the withered flowers.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and the skeletal warrior with the flickering fire of the soul knelt respectfully in front of the countess with heavy steps, his bony hands pressed against the slightly rolled red carpet, his armor shaking.

"Displaced people are dying, there are new invaders."

"One Fallen Demon, one Dark Hunter, five Giant Beasts, three Fallen Female Marksmen, two Moon Clans, two Skeleton Warriors, two Skeleton Mages, and one Blade Demon Wizard."

"The Destroyer and the Dark Hunter are the Darkgold Bosses, and the rest are Blue Bosses."

Listening, her gray pupils glowed.

"It's interesting."

"Lord Andariel told me to keep an eye on this place...

The hoarse voice disappeared, and she got up from the throne, her unhurried steps echoed like a bell, and her slender figure of nearly 2m was completely erected.

The beautiful sound of the chain mail shaking, the long black hair hanging down like a waterfall, and the snow-white peaks jumping up and down.

There is a pale gold pendant sunk into it, with ornate inscriptions engraved on it.

Caria Susanna, this is a name with a lot of time, and most of those who know its story have been reduced to loess.

"The blood of the virgin can't preserve my vitality anymore, I need stronger, purer blood or essence."

She lowered her eyes, her gray-white pupils instantly turned red, "This is just eating, so there is no need to tell Lord Andariel." ”

"It's very strong."

The skeleton warrior replied in a deep voice.

Then, hoarse laughter echoed through the hall.

"Hahahaha, if it's a powerful beast, I don't mind playing with it more, the long years are too lonely."

"It's just a dark gold leader, no matter how powerful it is, it's just a reckless beast."

The slender white index finger pointed at the skeleton warrior's helmet, and the soul fire in the latter's eye socket shook violently.

"Since you said so, I'll go myself."

"You have to prepare a sturdy cage, and I'll keep it in captivity."

"For me to have fun and suck blood."

She stuck out her bright red tongue, sucking on non-existent blood, and her delicate face wore a hazy smile.

The refining on both sides of the hall shook slightly, and the gray sky outside the window, the skeleton warrior remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking, but the countess was talking to herself, looking very happy.

・・・

"The owner... No trace of monsters..."

Lv16's [Razor of Star Speed] spies into the surroundings of the manor with the swift leader of the fallen female shooter, but finds no monsters.

But when Tang Ze stood on top of the ruins and looked into the depths of the manor, he could always feel the peeping of nothing.

His perception is keen, and most of the time there is nothing wrong with it.

"I don't know what the countess will think of me as an outsider."

"If you can't communicate normally, you're probably already gathering troops to deal with me."

Tang Ze pondered for a while, his team was placed here, the black wasteland had a wide field of vision, and there was nowhere to hide if he wanted to. Judging from the dark gold leaders seen so far, the countess may be very strong, but whether her wisdom is of ordinary level is questionable.

After all, he hadn't seen any monsters with IQ along the way, and even the blood bird transformed from the Heroic Spirit seemed very sluggish.

There was a slight thud, and the gates of the manor were opened, and rust fell, apparently not opened for a long time.

“・・・”

With his excellent eyesight, Tang Ze soon saw two teams of skeleton warriors narrowly winning from the manor, fully armed, approaching in his direction.

The armor on these skeleton warriors was not only intact, but also brand new, with no signs of rust except for a few scratches. Tang Ze guessed that the countess might have a way to preserve the quality of the equipment, and there was a special equipment library, which could be seen from the establishment of the team.

The distribution of skeleton warriors and skeleton shooters is perfect, and there are no major problems with the formation.

It doesn't seem to be a sluggish monster, thinking like this, Tang Ze was slightly vigilant in his heart.

The two teams of skeletons quickly walked dozens of meters in front of him, blocking his passage into the manor, and then a dark gold skeleton warrior walked out of the queue, tall and with a perfect skeleton.

Through Lv5's [Greedy Power], he obtained the information of this Dark Gold Skull Warrior.

Lv19 [Cruel of Deep Darkness], all attributes are very average, fluctuating around 320.

"Using Lv3's [Demon Wand], you can smash it to death within fifteen hits."

After a slight estimate, Tang Ze was much more relaxed.
