Chapter 41: Convocation
"You know what, the way you look now, like the hostess!"
Grand Elder Randy's figure faded away, but his meaningful words before parting still lingered in Anne's ears.
Anne was silent for a long time, so long that Spiegel had already returned from "sending the group away", still standing in silence.
Anne knew that the hostess that Grand Elder Randy called at the end was not herself...... Rather, the monster that wants to devour all the souls of himself and Limon! That is, their ancestor, their true mistress - Encore!
"Mistress, you ......"
"Don't call me mistress!"
Spiegel watched Anne stand there dumbfounded, hesitantly trying to ask, and the moment he didn't see Grand Elder Randy after he returned, he understood a lot of things.
However, before he could finish speaking, Anne decisively interrupted him.
Spiegel glanced at Anne and noticed that two strings of tears had fallen on her face at some point.
But Anne still stubbornly raised her head, staring vacantly into the air.
Spiegel glanced tentatively at Lemon behind Anne again, and when he found that he was still asleep, he sighed, and did not enter Anne, but waited respectfully at the entrance of the lord's hall, waiting for the mistress to dissipate.
However, Anne spoke again earlier than he had imagined.
"Spiegel?"
"Yes, hostess, at your command!"
"No...... Spiegel ...... I just wanted to say, I'm sorry......"
“......”
Spiegel was speechless in shock, and he began to tremble all over his body, as if it was only because of the careless apology of the hostess.
But Anne didn't stop, she went straight to Spiegel's side, looked at him deeply, and continued, "I need you, with all the people you can trust, to protect Lemon in this place...... No matter who comes, they can't let Li Meng get hurt in the slightest. I want to talk to her alone......"
Spieg bowed his head deeply, and he realized what Anne was trying to do. Although, if he had to choose between Anne and the Ancestor, he would not hesitate to choose the Ancestor, he sighed again for Anne......
"Yes, mistress...... I will summon Barron and Mydweiss to come to the Lord's Hall to guard Master Leemont. Also, if you allow the sisters from the ground to come up...... I think the two of them owe me a favor......"
"Sister Shelley? Well, I have the impression that the strength of the two of them is a little stronger than that of ordinary elders...... Then, Spiegel, gather all the forces you can muster and be sure to protect Limon until I return...... During this time, no one should approach him for any purpose...... You know what to do!"
"Yes, hostess...... Let me take the liberty of asking, does that include the Great Elders? I don't mean anything else, except that his status in the Morkawi clan is higher than mine. ”
"Well, that's right, including him...... Or rather, I'm just there for you to look at him...... Oh yes, and me, if there is no spiritual imprint of my own, if you see one who is as ...... as I am"
"I know what to do, hostess. You're on the lookout for the arrival of that Northern God, aren't you?"
"That's right, Spiegel...... Just as the Great Elder was leaving, I sensed Loki's aura, although, only a little...... Damn Loki, he has the ability to transform into anyone. Fortunately, the bloodlines of the Mokawi clan can accurately identify each other's soul imprints, which the gods cannot do...... Well, I'm gone, Spiegel. ”
Anne nodded at Spiegel and turned away.
Spiegel stood still, bent deeply, bowing in the direction Anne had left, knowing that even if a miracle occurred, the Ancestor would devour Anne's soul, the gods, and would not be able to stop the Ancestor's decision.
In other words, in that era of Ragnarok, many of the gods, including those who now dominate the world, trembled under the intimidation of the First Ancestors.
Anne is not destined to return safely......
And the reason why she took the initiative to face the ancestor was nothing more than for Li Meng, who was lying on the lord's seat and fell asleep peacefully......
That damn lucky little guy!
Spiegel didn't know why he was suddenly so irritable, he cursed Limon who was still snoring and sleeping soundly, and then stood up straight.
Then, Spiegel jumped lightly off the ground, his slender figure looking very light.
Then, a pair of scarlet batwings appeared behind Spiegel...... At the same time, Spiegel's originally pale skin also turned grayish white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was no irregularly textured bone shell on it!
Spiegel looked up, and at this moment, his head changed, into a kind of ...... that made people look frightened Beast Head!
His eyes sunken in, and his pupils turned a terrifying blood-red, and on his forehead, two giant horns resembling goat's horns grew......
With a flap of the bat's wings, Spiegel floated to Li Meng's side in the blink of an eye, and he carefully stretched out two fingers, and let the newly grown bone armor on the fingers retreat, blocking Li Meng's ears with his fingers.
At last......
"Whew!!"
A sound similar to the roar of a beast suddenly resounded throughout the Black Thorn Castle, and all the bloodlines of Mokavi heard it!
Combined with the anger they had just sensed from the hostess, they spread their bats almost simultaneously and flew towards the lord's hall!
In less than half a minute, the originally empty lord's hall was instantly filled with the bloods who heard Spiegel's call.
Spiegel stared coldly at the bloods that kept pouring in from the entrance to the lord's hall.
Although he knew that it would be safer to convene in secret......
Although he knew that Grand Elder Randy and his faction would definitely not easily let go of this vacuum that had arisen when Anne communicated with the First Ancestor......
Spieg still decides to use his methods to fulfill the hostess's orders!
Spiegel sensed, of course, that in an inconspicuous place in the corner of the hall, a bunch of bloods were surrounding Grand Elder Randy, who was supposed to be leaving......
Although, Grand Elder Randy restrained the aura on his body......
However, Spieg took a deep breath, and then, his unmistakable voice, echoed through the halls of the lords.
"I just received an order from the hostess, and she asked me to guard Young Master Li Meng......"
"Whoever wants to do anything to him...... will be completely annihilated from the soul......"
"Who, then, wants to follow the orders of the mistress?! There is no neutrality here, only obedience and betrayal!"
