At midnight, in the jungle on the outskirts of Baifeng Town.

The trees here are so tall that they shade the sky, but they still can't stop the growth of bushes on the ground.

The forest is thick with fog, and it will be difficult to get out if someone strays into the jungle, but given the dense nature of the bushes, it is unlikely that anyone will walk in.

It stands to reason that such an inaccessible place should be a paradise for animals, but there has been a dead silence all around, and there is no sign of life except for plants.

Suddenly, a strange circle about ten meters in diameter appeared on the ground of a wild bush, and immediately after, the plants shrouded in the strange circle began to wither rapidly, and finally burned to ashes by a purple flame.

In this way, a small clearing appeared in the dark forest, and then the soil began to slowly rise, as if something was about to break through the ground.

Over time, a building made of white marble appeared, which was not supposed to be inhabited by people, but more like a rather luxurious mausoleum.

The building is roughly in the shape of a cylinder, more than six meters high, with a stone door in the middle that can be opened to both sides.

Strangely, the building stopped moving, and the entire forest fell silent again.

After some time, a black shadow passed through the dense bushes to the front of the building, and he reached out against the stone door, and with a rumbling sound, the heavy door was opened, and it was pitch black inside.

The black shadow walked directly inside, and as he entered, the lights in the building instantly lit up, and the stone door was immediately closed.

Like the buildings in the forest of Blackpool Town, this is another entrance to the demon lair, as long as it is an important demon member, you can sense the existence of the entrance to the lair, and then follow that unique sense to find it.

Allison walked down the stone steps, it was pitch black in front of him, and as he didn't take a step, the lights came on on a short distance ahead.

After five minutes of travel, Allison finally reached the lowest floor of the building, a very spacious hall.

"Yo, look who's here."

He had barely entered the hall when the lights were all lit up when a slightly playful female voice rang out.

Allison knew the identity of the other party from the time he walked into this building, so he was not surprised at this moment, he was just a little strange, this guy was obviously here, why didn't he light up the hall in advance, could it be that the dark environment was more mysterious?

"Glad to be, my honorable Lord Roaini." Allison fell to one knee and respectfully saluted the woman in the dark.

Then, with a crisp snap of the woman's fingers, the lights in the hall instantly turned on.

There were murals painted on all four walls and ceilings, with all kinds of monsters on them, and directly in front of Allison, at the end of the long hall, there was a large seat, and a woman in dark green armor was sitting there, holding her head with her hands on her legs crossed.

She looked to be about thirty years old, with a pretty face and a good figure, and a hint of a smile on her face at all times.

"I've finally got someone, but why didn't Pedro come here to find me?"

"This ......"

"And it's weird, I sensed him nearby the other day, and then somehow disappeared, do you have any clue about it?"

Allison hesitated, but decided to tell the truth.

"That's right, Lord Pedro went to attack the human town a few days ago, and as a result, he suffered a crushing defeat and was beaten to pieces, and I don't know if I am dead or alive at this time."

“…… What? Roaini's mouth opened slightly, obviously shocked, "That's not right, Pedro's move can't even be resisted by me, how can he lose to an ant-like human?" ”

"Lord Roaini, I advise you not to underestimate humans, otherwise you may be like Lord Pedro......" Allison hurriedly reminded her, but did not continue.

"Oh? Is it? Roaini got up from her seat and walked slowly towards Allison, "Then I want to see how powerful the humans are today, and they can easily defeat the dark knights of our demons." ”

"Lord Roaini, I want to make it clear that not all humans are so powerful, but a boy named Emir and a witch named Annie, who defeated Pedro, and now they are in White Peak Town."

"Really? That's great, save me the trouble of looking for it," Roaini brushed him by, and walked straight for the exit, and before she left the hall, she added, "How?" Help me show the way. ”

"Well, happy to oblige." Allison saluted respectfully again.

In fact, the reason why he is here is to tell Pedro about it, and by the way, to get on good terms with several other Dark Knights, so that he has a better chance of taking Pedro's place.

After all, once Pedro's defeat to the human race is known to the entire demon race, even if he is still alive, it will become a disgrace to the demon race, and his career as a dark knight can only end here.

……

The next day, after yesterday's battle, Ophelia and Anne were reunited, and now they were once again at Melissa's house.

It's just that at this time, their mentality is completely different from before, and now the soul of the emir has been drained, and Nova is missing.

None of them knew what to do next, Ophelia was good at fighting as a knight, but she was weak at thinking about problems, and Anne was similar to her.

The only one with the best mind among them was Melissa, but unfortunately she was not, and she was so busy with business that she didn't have time to think about anything else.

However, the only thing that is certain is that the emir is not really dead, he has only his soul taken away, and then he can be resurrected as long as he returns his soul to his body.

Ophelia knew that the Emir's soul was in the Nightmare Mansion, but as far as she knew, the Nightmare Mansion could only be summoned by necromancers, and she had not heard of such a person in the Empire.

If you look slowly, you may not have time, because once the emir's body decays, even if the soul returns, it will be useless.

"What can I do? Do you want to see the emir die? Anne said with a sad look on her face.

In the past, she didn't care about the lives of others, but now even she wonders, why would she worry about a teenager who has nothing to do with her?

But she always had a feeling that if the emir died, she would feel empty in her heart.

She felt this way when she first met Emir, so after Emir was poisoned by a monster, she even went so far as to use life-consuming magic.

"By the way, have you ever heard of necromancers?" Ophelia asks her, thinking that Anne, as a witch, should know more about magicians.

"No," Anne shook her head, "there used to be such magicians, but it was in the realm of dark magic, and since the upper echelons of the wizarding world banned it, there have been no necromancers. ”

“…… That's right. ”

"But what if I go to study temporarily?" Anne suddenly proposed.

"That's a solution," Ophelia nodded, then spotted the problem, "but is there too much time?" While magic is easy to learn for those with talent, it can take at least a few months. ”

"Well, that's right, by then it's too late." Anne sighed heavily.

The two were in a state of annoyance, when suddenly the sound of Lilith banging on the window came from the courtyard outside.

Because she was summoned from Blackpool Town, the magic ring was not here, so naturally she couldn't be taken in, and then in order to prevent scaring other humans, after Freddy's consent, he arranged for her to stay in the courtyard.

"Have you figured out a way to save the emir?" Her tone was one of concern.

"Sorry, there's probably not much we can do about it." Ophelia had no choice but to tell her the truth.

"Well, but don't worry, I've heard of a way to forcibly call people's souls back."

"Oh? How? Anne suddenly became refreshed.

Hearing her say this, Ophelia also seemed to see hope.

“…… I'm going to have to get help from my family. Lilith couldn't help but look sad when she said this.

Ophelia and Anne also learned about her origins from the Emile, so they understood her hesitation.

Either way, Lilith must do her part to save Emir, or she will be killed by lightning due to the power of the contract when Emir dies completely.

"Well, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if you can agree to me." Lilith suddenly spouted.

"If there's anything you can help with, don't we be friends now?"

"Thank you so much, that's the case, I want you to accompany me to meet my family, then I will at least feel at ease."

"You want us to support you," Anne immediately understood, "Alas, you are still too humble, and you should be a little stronger in the face of the family who once abandoned you." ”

"I'm sorry, I can't do it, I do hate them, but this time I want to ask them for help, of course I have to be humble, but I'm used to being so humble, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to speak when the time comes, so I want to ask you for help."

"Well, well, we'll help you," Anne nodded, then urged, "then without further ado, we'll go now." ”

"Wait a minute, Lilith, do you know where your family is?" Ophelia suddenly noticed a problem.

"Well, well," Lilith said visibly flustered, "It's okay, let's get someone to ask, aren't there any of you humans who study dragons?" ”

“…… Haha, that makes sense. The two smiled awkwardly.

They could never have imagined that humans would know more about dragons than a dragon.
