Section 162. Tryst on the Covered Bridge
It's true to let go of the eyeliner, but it's fake to punish the blood slaves.
It seems that the terrifying Crimson Blood Flame is just Tina's illusion, and the scorch of the Blood Slave is just that it forms a black shell outside its body...... None of the vampires in this show were harmed.
Except for the scared undercover agents. If you look closely, you can see that they are trembling in addition to their heads bowed.
The Scarlet Queen's power is still ...... And her temper is still like that!
Annan lets go of the Scarlet Queen, letting Lucy hold the Queen, and letting Dracula carry the Blood Slave who pretended to be dead.
The play was a complete success, and within a few days, the theater's target disappeared and the outside became honest. It didn't last long, though...... Vampires are evil and suspicious, and the big ones will never let the Scarlet Queen rise unless they see it with their own eyes.
The Scarlet Queen gave power to Annan - no one had as many ideas as he did.
Indeed, even if the energy is focused on filming, the small ideas that Annan pops up from time to time still always lead the enemy to the ditch.
For example, in the "Make the House of Stulet Great Again" plan, Annan first asked the bards to train a group of servants, teach them the story of the Scarlet Queen's past rule of the Bloody Council, and distribute them to thirteen cities, and spread them everywhere.
Then send out invitations to vampires who were allies, vassals, and didn't fall for the help of the Stulet family when they were in trouble.
In addition to them, there are Skeletron and Williams, the patriarch of the Morrell family, who has been in the lower chamber all along.
"I know that there have been many rumors in the outside world......"
The Scarlet Queen looked down on the guests, and the pride of her soul made most of the guests who had witnessed the Queen's past majesty express nostalgia.
Annan, who was holding the queen's hand, took advantage of this to release the talent spell for the third time - Annan almost found the law of the talent spell, just like casting his own spell, whatever he touched, he would release what type of spell, and if he didn't, he would randomly use one of the various effects.
Compared with the "Scarlet Queen's strength is still there" that they had known for a long time, what surprised them was the patriarch of the Morrell family, Prince Williams, who called Annan ancestor......
That night, news crept through from the Stulet family...... Annan is the reincarnation of Prince Lydia's lover thousands of years ago and the ancestor of the Morrell family.
The news was unwarranted, like a joke, but everyone took the trouble to say that they had personally seen Prince Williams respectfully call Annan an ancestor.
When the rumors gradually fermented and intensified, Prince Williams, who was a guest at the Bloody Parliament, personally stood up to refute the rumors: "This is a rumor! I didn't use a respectful tone at all! ”
Then they knew that Annan was really the lover of his ancestors.
Those traditional vampires who were originally hostile to Annan have changed their minds, treating Annan as half of their own and offering their own support.
This support was fed back to the theater, which was originally close to a stable revenue increase significantly, and the theater was overcrowded.
The Scarlet Queen's enemies gave up on probing and turned their attention to the confronting magical imagery.
The plan to "make the Stulet family great again" culminated in Annan's proposal to renovate the Sturett family estate. For this reason, he invited Erie over and introduced him to the Scarlet Queen: "The plan of Liberty City was designed by Master Erie himself, and it is of good quality and low price!" ”
The Stulet family occupies a huge area, and there is a lake behind the manor, which has only turned black because it has been abandoned for too long, and the demon vines that climb on the outer wall of the castle reach into the water, growing wildly, covering a small lake like a dead man's hair, and exuding a disgusting smell of rot all day long.
Vampires just don't like the sun, but that doesn't mean they want to live in a dark, dirty place.
The designer is from Liberty City, the materials are from Liberty City, the workers are from Liberty City, and the money is from the Sturet family......
At first, the Scarlet Queen thought that Annan was just trying to make money, but the manor did come alive with their arrival, and the devil's vine was cut down, the broken wall tiles were replaced, the weeds on the lake were salvaged, and the covered bridge that had collapsed and submerged in the lake was rebuilt, and little by little the Stulet family restored its former scenery...... The Scarlet Queen no longer objected and generously paid the full amount.
Late on the night when the bridge in the lake was built, the Scarlet Queen seemed to have made some kind of decision to let Annan go to the bridge...... He's the only one.
Late at night...... Or early in the morning...... In short, in the land of eternal night, where time is indistinguishable, Annan stepped on the water covered bridge.
Carrying the rippling ripples of the lake, he arrived at the center of the covered bridge, where the Scarlet Queen stood, her long pink dress mopping the floor.
She took the wooden box that Annan had taken out of the mine a while ago and opened the lid.
The ancient horn lay quietly at the bottom of the box, and the Scarlet Queen's fingertips brushed by, and a horn from the ancient times suddenly sounded, and Annan's eyes gradually became confused......
"I want to ask you some questions."
The Scarlet Queen's voice suddenly woke Annan up, realized what was happening, and continued to pretend to be affected, maintaining a confused demeanor.
"You've done so much for the Sturett family, what purpose do you have?"
"I don't have a purpose, I just want to help Lena."
"Do you like Liana?"
"Yes, she's a good friend of mine and I want to help her."
"What do you want from the Sturett family?"
"I don't want anything...... Annan was silent for a moment, feeling that there was a loophole, and added, "If I can, I hope to form an alliance with you to protect the Strrett family." ”
"Protection?"
"Your recovery will take time, Princess Crimson is still very young, and the Stulet family is not strong enough...... I'm relieved to have you back in the Bloody Council. ”
The Scarlet Queen's red lips moved slightly, and finally gave up asking anything more, and closed the lid back on the box.
With this action, Annan's eyes gradually returned to clarity.
"It's a family treasure, thank you for bringing it to me." The Scarlet Queen said, looking like she had just shown Annan a look at the treasure.
"You're so polite." Annan chuckled, "It didn't take much effort for me to get it. ”
Meeting those clear, pure black eyes, the Scarlet Queen was a little silent. Out of guilt, or perhaps touch, she suddenly whispered, "Are you curious about my past?" ”
Annan said happily: "Who is not curious about the past of the Scarlet Queen, who once ruled the bloody council? ”
"It was when I was younger......
Annan was perhaps the first to hear the Scarlet Queen tell about her past. As with all legends, the Scarlet Queen's growth was fraught with setbacks.
Betrayal, pain, revenge, killing......
The title of Scarlet Queen, like her own "Champion Warlock", is earned through hard work.
However, there has been no trace of Lena's father
Annan couldn't help but wonder: "How did you and Liana's father meet?" ”
"I don't have a husband."
Annan was slightly stunned: "Nalena ......"
"She is the heir given to me by the goddess of love......"
