The dark and damp dungeons, painful wails and whispers echo in the depths.

Xana sat against the cold rock wall, her raised right hand shackled against the wall, her head bowed.

I don't know how long it has been, but the torches on the walls reflect a narrow shadow cast outside the dungeon corridor.

Xana looked up at the sound of footsteps, her eyes staring coldly at the figure outside the dungeon with her tousled hair.

"How much do you want?"

A hoarse magnetic female voice sounded: "How do you know we want money?" ”

"You let Suni go, which means that you know that the groom has no money." Xanna raised her head, her despondency and circumstances did not hide her pride: "Let me go, and prepare the room and food, so that the Waters family can consider giving you more money." ”

Whoop -

The cell door opened, and the figure walked into the dungeon. I couldn't see the face clearly, only the graceful outline outlined by the firelight behind it.

She crouched in front of Xena, pinched her chin, and said in a flirtatious tone, "You're that bitch's daughter?" It's exactly the same......"

"Don't say that about my mother!"

"Look, even the angry look is like this...... It makes people want to bully. ”

Xana shook off the hand on her face and realized that the other party was not in it for money.

"Who are you?"

"Don't be so cold, I'm your mother's friend."

Xana replied indifferently: "She doesn't have any friends who would kidnap her daughter." ”

"I'm so sad when Xianna said that......"

Xianna stopped talking, and the woman in front of her was not as good as Annan's finger.

No matter how much she fiddled, there was no response, and the woman who was in a state of interest stood up: "Keep staying, and you will be able to go out then." ”

Watching her walk out of the cell, Xianna suddenly said, "Who are you?" ”

"Just an old friend of your mother."

……

Annan, who had a heavy heart, came to the flower bed and looked down at the flower cat lying in the flower bed.

It seems that because the sun is blocked, it dies...... The sleeping cat rolled over, revealing its dirty belly, and opened its eyes.

“…… Are you okay? ”

"When the sun is too comfortable, go to sleep."

The cat stretched in the flower bed and began to roll from side to side.

"I saw you in the alley." Annan pretended to be unintentional and asked, "Do you have a large range of activities?" ”

Annan was still suspicious of the talking cat. The golden dragon of the game human city-state, or the cronies of the Lord of Sin?

"It's all cat territory."

Annan couldn't help but reach out and rub the belly of the flower cat. For a while, the cat turned over and sat upright: "Do you have anything to eat?" ”

"I'll give it to you later."

Annan asked the cat to wait for him here, got up and went back to the mansion, and said to the waiter who was looking this way: "Don't chase that cat again, if your boss asks him, tell him that I made you do this." ”

"Uh...... Good guests. ”

Back in the room, Martin was still asleep, Annan didn't wake him up, washed his hands with clean water, took out two bottles of magic potions from under the bed and went out again.

He bought a few pieces of dried meat for the cat, told him to hide on the eaves and eat them, so as not to be snatched away by the greedy children, and rushed to the tavern to meet Suni and them.

The Black Gold Tavern, where Xana and Suni were captured.

Annan, who rushed to the street, saw Lutheran King and they looked confused, they should have no gain.

On the contrary, they greeted Annan and said that the students had actually investigated some information, but the problem was in the tavern.

"The tavern owner should know something, but he doesn't tell us."

The non-heirs and second sons of these aristocratic and wealthy men will at most be treated politely by the tavern, but will not budge.

Annan's gaze fell into the distance, and a suspicious-looking fellow was looking this way.

"Take me there." Annan withdrew his gaze.

……

Boom!

The door to the tavern was almost slammed open, and the young students crowded Annan into the deserted tavern during the day.

"You're in trouble." Lutheran King, who was still arrogant one moment ago, stepped aside the next moment, "Your Highness, this is it." ”

The bartender was so frightened that he couldn't hold his glass, and the thugs who rushed to the hall were silent.

"You ......"

Lutheran King hid his freckles and showed them his nostrils: "Call your boss!" ”

Looking at the handsome and noble boy who was surrounded, the bartender believed it and hurried upstairs.

Annan took advantage of the gap to look around the tavern. This should be able to fill his Elemental Legion and give the local Serpent a little shock.

It didn't take long for the burly tavern owner to run down.

"It turned out to be Mr. Annan."

"You know me?"

"One person defeats the genius of Sartovis Academy, and the guests have been talking about you for the past two days."

"Then you should know why we're here."

Annan's directness made the tavern owner stagnate. Annan didn't give him time to find a reason, and continued: "We investigated privately just not to alarm the academy. But if you refuse, it won't be us students next......"

The tavernkeeper's face changed, and Annan's tone softened at this time: "You don't have to go through trouble for a group of vampires, do you?" ”

The tavern owner had no choice but to tell the truth: the tavern does have vampire and succubus activity.

But these guys who survive in the human city-state don't dare to kill, they just pick some food. And many of the guests are good for this bite, so the tavern and they take what they need.

Despite interracial orders and curfews, this is Srtovis, the city of innocence – sin deep in everyone's soul many years ago.

Inertia is a terrible thing, and you can't expect a place like this to be completely out of the gray until it hits an unshakable giant.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of changing you, we just want to find the vampire who captured my friend."

As long as they don't hurt innocent people, Annan has no interest in meddling. "Tell me who they are?"

"Black Butterfly ......"

The tavernkeeper lowered his voice and said that they didn't come very often, and that the entire tavern in Sletovis was a hunting occasion for these nocturnal creatures. As for where their nests are...... Nobody knows.

Staring at all the taverns? It's not practical.

Coming out of the tavern, Xanna's sister asked, "Is there anything we can do?" ”

"There's another way."

……

The curfew in Srtoviis discouraged civilians from going out at night. Caught by the guards and fined for money, caught by evil creatures and killed.

But when you open the tavern door from the deserted street, you will be surrounded by a hustle and bustle. The noisy mercenaries, the exposed girls, and the bard's lute are like stepping into another world.

That night, the door of the Shark Tavern was pushed open, and two fresh faces walked into the tavern. The women and some of the men looked at one of the figures, their eyes glowing.

Annan and Alice sat down at an empty table, looking around the tavern and the guests who were looking at each other with winks.

This was Annan's plan: to use himself as bait.

Alice was responsible for protecting Annan in battle.

"Have you wanted to do this for a long time?" Alice's tone was meaningful.

"I just want to get paid for rescuing Xenna." Annan said sincerely.
