The next morning, the castle lord sat in his studio, still tired, dealing with reports from all over the place, while Karn sat aside to help.

Just as they turned to the bottom letter, their nerves immediately tensed and they stood up suddenly, the letter was marked by the royal city and stamped with the royal seal on the surface of the letter, which indicated that it was an urgent letter from the royal family of the royal city.

Karn hurriedly snatched it and looked at it, saying, "The mailing time is last week, the day after I left. ”

Karn tensed up at this moment, and many ominous situations came to his mind, the worst of which was undoubtedly that his father had been killed and that others had begun to be imprisoned.

"What's the content!" The castle lord agreed and asked anxiously.

Just after Karn had calmed down, he opened the letter and looked at it: "There is very little content, only that I should go back quickly." ”

"Then I'll go prepare the teleportation circle, and you're bringing some more people."

"No, I'll just bring Ankh with me, too many people will definitely make those old things cautious."

The lord of the castle then summoned a number of high priests to help him open the teleportation circle, and Karn went to find Ankka, who had made his way to the Crystal Forest for some reason.

"I don't know what he's going to do, but I hope he won't let me look for it for a long time!" Saying that, Karn ordered eight hundred heavily armored soldiers and thirty high-ranking priests to follow, after all, even if Ankka really suddenly stood on the opposite side of him, he would have to be a little prepared, and he didn't want them to be of much use, just hoping that he could buy time for him to escape.

On the way there, Karn placed five heavily armored soldiers every ten meters, and after arriving in the cave, he ambushed a large number of priests in the surrounding shadows and used magic to conceal himself to better hold back Ankka, who might get out of control.

At this time, Ankka is frantically destroying the giant icemen he sees and sucking their souls.

After absorbing a large number of souls, Ankka completed a deal with Kajodil for the first time, and Ankka also possessed some of the Iceman's abilities.

"Look! This kind of result is good for you and me, and you don't need to resist at all. "Kajudil probably got most of his soul, and he didn't need to keep himself asleep most of the time.

Afterwards, Ankka felt a wave of exhaustion and leaned against the wall and asked, "Anyway, is the Iceman really not wise?" ”

"They're just the embodiment of the entire continent, and their souls are just their energy cores, unlike humans or dragons or even other subhumans."

"Really?"

"Of course, can I lie to you?"

Hearing Kajudil promise him like this, Ankka instantly had a feeling of being deceived: "You didn't lie to me? ”

"You're questioning me! If you don't believe what the contract says, we can't deceive each other. ”

After saying that, he summoned parchment full of twisted words and handed it to Anka, who turned left and right and said, "I can't read." ”

"Then you have been watching for so long, but I will definitely make you literate when I have the opportunity in the future, after all, you can't read or even understand magic books, how can you be worthy of me who signed a contract with you?"

Ankh then put the baby dragon on his lap and stroked it, saying, "But can I really read and even read magic books?" ”

Kajudir responded, "You are not a slave, you are now the owner of the Emperor's sword, the one who made a pact with the great me, cheer up, who really cares about your origin after you rule the entire continent of Avaranga?" ”

"Forget about world domination, I'm like living a life where I can eat enough every day and lie in front of the fire."

Then Kajudil was silent for a long time after admitting a few words, and his heart was already laughing, after all, he had escaped from the small cell that the emperor had built for him, so he had countless hours to corrode Anka's heart, and after Ankka was completely degraded, he could manipulate him to absorb the soul of the entire continent.

Later, while petting the young dragon, Ankha suddenly asked, "Anyway, what should I name it?" ”

Kajudir blurted out, "It's called Elancy!" Once a strong nun. ”

"Wouldn't it be bad to be so deliberate."

"It's okay, she's not well-known, and she's been dead for two thousand years."

Ankka then stroked the young dragon with her hand and called out her name, "Elancy, what do you think of this name!" ”

Ellanch jumped around like a puppy and laughed as if she liked the name very much.

Just as Ankka and Ellanthi were interacting, Karn approached him and said, "Sorry, we left earlier. ”

Ankka then got up without asking anything, and Karn left with him, and Karn walked quickly to the front to tell the hidden priest to leave quickly, so that Ankka could find out and learn that he didn't trust Ankka.

And just as the castle lord was about to teleport the magic circle, a tall and thin assassin in black leather armor walked out of the darkness behind him, and said to the castle lord in a relaxed tone: "Hello, how about we make a deal?" ”

"I don't have much to talk about with the puppies of Santa Seca."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them drew their swords together, but in an instant, the castle lord was disarmed by his opponent under the shadow of the sword and sword, and was aimed at the heart with his sword at zero distance.

"My lord, don't be so nervous, we're here to help you."

With that, the other nine Assassins emerged from the shadows and aimed their bows and crossbows at the High Priests who were about to teleport the circle.

Seeing this, the castle master's tone immediately softened, he knew that if the legendary magic circle was destroyed now, it would take at least three months to recover, and the teleportation magic circle of the other fortresses around it was difficult to activate it in time because of the lack of rune stones and high priests with sufficient ability.

"Okay, then we can talk, but you should keep the sword away from me."

As he spoke, the castle lord pointed to the table and chair on the side to negotiate over there.

Sitting down in his chair, the Assassin drank a glass of water from the table without any defence under the astonished gaze of the castle lord.

Seeing this, the castle lord thought to himself: "Strange, aren't you afraid of poison?" ”

As the castle lord pondered, the assassin spoke, "Lord Castle, we can help you fulfill your ambitions, after all, you don't want to be the castle lord for the rest of your life!" ”

"What can you do?"

"It seems that the castle lord still doesn't trust us, so let's put it this way! We can use all kinds of means to plant loyal spies in every country, and the bandits of Icetooth Peak are the ones we have fostered. ”

Hearing this, the castle lord laughed and mocked: "Heh, you are really confident, you can easily tell me such information." ”

The assassin whispered, "It doesn't matter, and it will be beneficial for us to properly disclose the expired information." ”

"So you can let me go back to the royal city?"

"What's more! As long as you continue to cooperate with us and try to win Lord Karn over, we can also guarantee that you will be able to achieve a position in Caldara above ten thousand people. ”

Hearing this, the castle lord immediately got up and became alert, and he suddenly thought that the other party must want to quickly control Caldara in this way, and the most terrifying thing was that he didn't know how many other officials were also in the same league with them, and maybe even they had already stretched out their hands to the royal city.

The castle lord thought to himself, "No, tell Karn to get him ready." ”

The castle lord began to grind his teeth angrily and even made a sizzling sound of grinding his teeth, and then the castle lord slapped him and grabbed the other party's neck and said, "Sanseka dog, don't you think!" ”

Strangely enough, the other Assassins did not do anything else but stayed where they were, and the Castle Master noticed that the body of the Assassin he was holding was gradually getting colder, and it was then that the Castle Master realized that the other Assassin was a controlled puppet.

And when the lord of the castle threw the assassin whose neck was broken to the ground, he noticed that something was constantly wriggling under the skin of his hand, and the lord of the castle was shocked and said, "It's a brain-eating larvae." ”

After a while, the castle lord knelt on the ground with black eyes, spitting and donating blood, and his consciousness gradually dissipated, and before he completely lost consciousness, the castle lord said: "Insidious dog, even if you pretend to be pious, you can't hide your vicious demon-like heart, and you can't enter the Pantheon when you die!" ”

Later, the Assassin, who had the ability to control larvae, came out and said, "What a pity! ”

The lord of the castle was then taken over and returned to the hall to begin a grand farewell ceremony, and ordered all the soldiers in the warehouses controlled by the local authorities to enjoy a temporary absence, wine and food.

After doing this, the lord of the castle sat in a large seat in the middle, waiting for Karn and Ankka to arrive, along with the Assassins disguised as traders with rare treasures.

And just as he stepped into the fortress, Ankha suddenly trembled and said, "Why does it feel so wrong?" “

Karn looked around, and though something was wrong, he couldn't tell.

"Why are all those soldiers gone?"

Hearing Ankka say this, Karn reacted and searched everywhere to find several drunken soldiers leaning together and talking in their dreams.

Karn stepped forward and slapped him in anger and asked, "Who made you dare to leave your post and drink!" ”

The soldier said tremblingly: "It was the castle lord who let it, and the castle lord also let the defender brothers of the warehouse also drink." ”

"What! Go tell them to go back on patrol! ”

Ankka stepped forward and said, "I don't know why the uneasiness is getting stronger. ”

Karn turned to the soldier and asked, "Where is the castle master?" ”

"In the hall!"

After saying that, the two of them hurried to the huge iron door of the hall, and unsurprisingly, the soldiers guarding the door were all drunk, and they were so drunk that they couldn't wake up as if they were unconscious.

Karn and Ankka were shocked by what they saw as they pushed open the iron door, countless dancers dancing tirelessly over the coals, musicians making annoying noises even with bleeding fingers, the hall filled with gold and gems, and soldiers pouring themselves with wine and stuffing themselves with food even when they couldn't eat anymore.

Karn yelled angrily for them to get out, but they didn't seem to hear it, and Ankka and Karn noticed that the castle master's mouth was rising as much as he could, and said in a dry voice, "Friend! Don't be so grumpy, come have a drink! ”
