It took half a day to coax the Scarlet Princess, and then it was time to solve the dilemma in front of her.

Rescue Lucy and Erin from the castle first, and then whether it's revenge or escape, the initiative is in their hands.

"You maintain the status quo, I'll figure it out."

Annan asked for a map from Dracula and took advantage of the thunderstorm to drill back into the dry well.

Unable to make out the direction underground, Annan summons a lemon and then casts a spell to summon Alice.

Alice, who was having dinner with her father, was suddenly pulled away by the teleportation array. Mr. Svaro was slightly stunned, and then a cold color appeared...... You don't have to think about it to know who took Alice.

In the middle of the night, a warlock summoned his daughter away without saying a word......

Is this the first time, or is it just the first time I know?

"Alice, help me ......"

Annan commissioned Alice to use prophecy to locate the castle: about 25 miles from the abandoned garden.

Sending Alice back, Annan returned the same way as he had traveled.

After about three hours, he approached the castle through a narrow and cramped tunnel.

A faint, rhythmic muffled sound echoed from the depths of the darkness. At first, Annan thought it was thunder coming from outside a hole that resembled a dry well, but as he got closer, the sound became clearer and clearer, like the sound of an iron pickaxe striking on a rock.

Annan put away the magic lamp and saw a ray of light seeping from the dark passage that snaked into the depths......

The oil lamp was set aside, and a cloak silhouette pouted its ass and cut through the rock wall.

Someone actually got there first......

"Lemon, disarm." Annan said softly.

The silhouette looks like a human, but vampires are about the same as humans......

The lemon approached silently, and when it was about twenty steps closer to the silhouette, the lemon was suddenly struck hard and exploded into a splash!

"Lemon!"

Annan was close to summoning Dean Blahim to smash the bastard, but the lemon suddenly recondensed into a silhouette.

A fatal wound to a human being is nothing to the four elements.

"Don't keep your hands, life or death!"

Annan starts casting the spell, and in just three seconds, the portal to Liberty City opens.

"Annan?"

A familiar tentative tone suddenly interrupted Annan's spell casting.

"Centurion?"

Annan stared at the silhouette of the turn, she was wearing a crow mask...... To prove herself, she removed her mask, revealing her brownish-orange hair and the hideous scar that slid from her forehead to the corners of her mouth.

"Which centurion are you?" Annan stared at her.

There are two centurions that I know alone: Breeze City and Recanar King.

"What stupid things are you talking about, I am who I am." The centurion looked at Annan with emotion, he hadn't seen him for two years, he was still like that, and he even looked even more difficult to control. "You want to trouble them too?"

"Who are they?" Annan is conservative.

"Don't pretend, aren't you here for the vampires in the castle?" The centurion went straight to him.

Annan did not deny it, looking at the hole about half a meter deep that had been chiseled by the centurion: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Like you, trouble them." There was no one else here, and the centurion simply stopped wearing a mask and raised his eyebrows: "How is it, recruit, do you want to help me?" ”

The centurion didn't say so, and Annan forgot that he was also a scavenger. And once he remembered it, he remembered that he had never been helped by the scavengers from the time he fled to the founding of the Free City and until now, and they had even disappeared.

"Why should I help you, have you helped me? Not even the idea of setting up a scavenger in my Liberty City. ”

"Build it this time! Build it when you go back! Centurion assured loudly.

"It's too late, do you know how many nezumen my soldiers have killed?"

"How much?"

"Do you remember how many loaves of bread you ate?" Annan sneered.

The centurion was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Annan, you shouldn't blame us, you know everything about the north...... Then you shouldn't know that almost all the scavengers in the North have been sacrificed......"

Annan was stunned: "All ......?" ”

"Yes, it's not just us who hate the nezumi to the bone, but the nezumi hate me to the bone."

Annan could no longer blame, and he remembered why there were no scavengers to take care of him after he went to Middle-earth.

"I know what vampires and rat people are robbing......" The centurion did not want to use this to sell miserably and change the subject.

"You know?"

"A passage to the Dark Regions has appeared in the Cerence Mountains......"

"Where is the Dark Place?"

The centurion looked like he had seen the nezumi: "Why don't you even know about the bottomless abyss?" ”

"I'll know you when you say that...... So what does this have to do with Vampire vs. Nezumi? ”

"In turbulent years, the barriers between planes have thickened, and it has become more and more difficult to cross planes and worlds, and the nezumi hope to find the Great Horned Rat through the abyss, and the vampire want to find the lost ancestral land from the abyss."

"Why don't they join forces? The passage shouldn't be restrictive to race, right? ”

"Will you work with the nezumi?" The centurion asked rhetorically, remembering who was standing in front of him, "Oh, you really do." ”

"But you have to know that if the human nobles are old antiques, and the vampire nobles are old stubborns in old antiques, they would rather die than cooperate with the nezumi, plus we are stirring up in it, don't think about success until one of them dies!"

"So you're-stirring sticks?"

"That's ugly."

"Which clan are those nezumi from?"

"The Stoun Clan."

It's still an old friend.

But Maria is in the north, so she shouldn't be able to touch her this time.

"How long are you going to dig?"

"It won't be long before there is a secret passage leading to the castle......"

"Secret Passage?"

"You don't think the trip from the castle to your little garden was just an accident, do you?"

"What a little good, she's almost five hundred years old!" Annan argued, "How do you know everything? ”

"At least I don't know how you saved the princess." The scavenger approached Annan, "Interested in revealing?" ”

"I don't even know when a scavenger became an informant."

"It's all forced by the rat people. The nezumi are well-informed, and we need to be better informed than them. "I'm afraid even if Annan asked the centurion how many hairs the centurion was, she would be able to tell.

"How? Do you want to cooperate? ”

Annan looked at the centurion and thoughtfully: "What strength are you now?" ”

"Master, is it enough?"

Annan didn't know if she was telling the truth, after all, the master didn't have the ability to make so many doppelgangers...... But it's always good to have a companion to trust......

"Don't forget what you promised me." Annan said.

"Let the scavengers go to Liberty City? No problem, I'll arrange it personally! The centurion patted his chest.

"Don't say that I take advantage of you, there are many retired soldiers in Liberty City who have killed hundreds of rat people, and they are all excellent instructors."

"Mr. Annan is so gentle...... centurion whispered.

Before Annan could show a disgusted expression, the centurion retched and said, "Hey, it's disgusting to say that." ”
