Annan got into Skeletron's ornate carriage and galloped in the direction of Hearsi.

But on the way, they are blocked by a vampire.

"Need help?" Skeletron asked.

Annan recognized the silhouette as the vampire who had been thrown out of the banquet by himself: "He has plucked up the courage to block the way, so don't let him down." ”

Jumping from the tall carriage, the vampire standing under the shade of the tree raised his head and grinned cruelly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time......"

"You're really stupid......"

Annan wondered if sleeping too much would make people stupid? I'll have to tell Elimoas when I get back.

"I'm a vampire, and you're a vampire too. I am an elite, and I am also an elite. I'm a warlock, but you're not ......" Annan said to the vampire whose smile faded, "And didn't you notice whose carriage I was sitting in?" ”

"Uh......"

Suddenly, the vampire spread his black cloak and turned into an afterimage and swept towards Annan.

"I'll be fine if I catch you!"

"You've got your plan out...... Annan casually pulls the lemons over, fights off the vampires, and then continues to cast spells while they're back and forth.

Annan thought of the talent spell that he had been unable to release, and tentatively chanted the first stanza.

A chant of carols resounded in the woods, and a flock of hovering birds landed on Annan, only to be startled away by a scarlet door that suddenly opened behind him.

"What's that?!"

The vampire who was fighting with Lemon suddenly felt a hint of aura that made him tremble, and looked at him uneasily.

Annan ignored him and continued to chant the talent incantation.

The scarlet light of the door behind him grew stronger and stronger, surging with blood-like color, almost engulfing Annan.

"What's that!!" The vampire's mouth opened to an inhuman angle, screaming and retreating.

The scarlet door did not open, but gradually bloomed with a dazzling red light and a pungent smell of blood. When it was about to turn into a scarlet moon, it suddenly dimmed and vanished.

The surroundings returned to their natural brightness, and the smell of blood lingering in the nose seemed to be just an illusion.

Annan, whose magic power was exhausted, sighed: "Lemon, I'll leave it to you." ”

Still no, it seems that you don't want to chant the first section of the spell before you reach level six. As for the spell casting that appears differently this time...... Annan was almost accustomed to the uncertainty of his spells.

"Who the hell are you!?" The vampire's trembling tone lost the heart to resist.

"I'm ......" Annan's tone changed, and he said hoarsely: "You targeted me at Lena, and you don't know who I am?" ”

"You're Lord Odris!? This can't be, how can you still be alive! The vampire screamed like madness.

"Why can't it ......," Annan sneered.

This vampire's fear peaks and then ...... Fainted.

Annan asked Lemon to go over to check, and looked helplessly at Skeletron in the carriage: "Who is Odris?" ”

"I think he's talking about Serena's husband, Princess Crimson's father."

"That's how he believed it?"

If only the Scarlet Princess's enemies were so stupid.

"That spell is amazing, I'm afraid only high-level bloodlines can do it...... A new spell? ”

"I have a talent for spells, but I need too much magic to release it."

"This must be quite a powerful spell."

"I think so too." It's just that Annan is not happy about this, "But the spell I want is not like this." ”

"Spells don't stick to form, and any spell that uses magic to drive can become a spell."

"I know...... But is this magic? Annan watched as Lemon grabbed the unconscious vampire, "just pulling someone he knew from a distance...... What's the difference between that and me going out with a bunch of friends? ”

"Hehehe...... We always crave things we didn't have. Skeletron laughed.

Lemon captures the vampire, and Annan looks at it: "Skeleton...... Duke, can I ask you one thing? ”

"Send it back? It's okay. ”

Skeletron's bone hand appears as an alchemy bag, and it pours out some bone powder and sprinkles it on the grass outside the carriage, chanting incantations.

A skeleton soldier made of dirt, bone meal, and stone rose up, exuding a mighty aura, and its body was stained with weeds.

"Send it back to the Necropolis."

The dirt skeleton grabs the vampire and runs the way they came.

"Doesn't necromancy have to rely on corpses?" Annan looked curiously at the back of the skeleton.

"I used corpses." Skeletron said.

"Bone meal?"

"Dirt." Its bony fingers pointed at its feet.

"We all say that the continent of Allen is the world of the living, but I say that this world belongs to the dead...... The living will eventually die, and the souls of the dead for countless thousands of years will always sleep in the ground. ”

"Their corpses make up the matter and the cycle in this world." Annan, who was infected by Skeletron, also said something.

"You're like an archmage right now." Skeletron was impressed by Annan.

As they continued on their way, Annan told Skeletron about Princess Scarlet's predicament, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

"Do you know the city lord of Huadu?"

"I don't know ......"

"I don't know...... But Princess Scarlet knows, doesn't she? ”

"I'm just worried that they'll be discovered by humans...... When the time comes, Princess Crimson's situation will be even worse. ”

"What I'm trying to say is, don't really think of Princess Scarlet as a child...... "Skeletron said meaningfully, "and I'm amazed at how she escaped the clutches of the Council." ”

"You're saying she deliberately didn't pretend to be that smart in front of me?"

"I don't know."

Annan put away his doubts for the time being and showed the way for Skeletron.

In the evening, a lonely wooden house stood in front of them in a glade.

"This is it." Annan picked up the basket and jumped out of the carriage.

"A weird ...... scattered on the edge of the Hearsay Zone"

As Skeletron spoke, he suddenly saw Annan appear in his field of vision—he dared to walk to the strange doorway like a warlock courting the dragons.

Knock Knock Knock –

Not long after he knocked on the door, a crack opened in the door.

Skeletron's soul fire flickered on and off, and the moment the door opened, it felt a shadow fall on its own soul fire...... Then, it was dispersed by the basket full of food that Annan had raised.

"I brought you food, can we-"

Bang –

Before he could say anything about going inside, the door to the wooden house in the woods was closed again.

Annan, who was closed out, reluctantly put down the basket, turned around and said: "It seems that she is not in a good mood today." ”

Instead of leaving, Annan went around to the hut, where the wildflowers he had picked the other day had withered, and he gathered some more wildflowers with roots, planted them around the tombstones, and returned to the skeleton carriage.

"Let's go ahead."

Soon after they left, the door of the wooded hut quietly opened a crack, and an arm covered in burn marks grabbed the basket and retracted behind the door.
