The stench of vampires and the pungent smell of burning treants entered her nostrils, and Morgiana barely woke up.
An extreme sense of weakness lingered on Morgiana's body, and the Lake Goddess Witch felt that it was very difficult to even open her eyes.
She decided not to open her eyes.
Morgiana felt that her hands were tied behind her back, and her ankles were bound by tree tendrils that contained powerful magical energy. She was tied to a frame and dragged by something.
Sensing the magic power in her body, the Lake Goddess Witch could feel that her magic power was completely stagnant in her body. Her rich magic power in the past had become a heavy burden. She tried to mobilize her magic power, but it didn't listen to her command at all.
The Lake Goddess Witch felt a tinge of regret. She realized that she had trusted the Dryads too much.
It was true that there was a treaty of mutual protection between these malevolent creatures and Brittania, but Morgiana recalled that she had acted too rashly. She should not have come alone.
Morgiana had always been a loner. She was used to moving around alone. Many times, when the king needed to find her, he would send out a large number of knights to search for her.
If only she had promised Laing to bring him along!
"The Lake Goddess Witch is the first chosen one and spokesperson of the false god of the lake. Isn't that too risky? Can a few tendrils tie her up? "Vampire Frey's voice came from the side." Maybe I can cut off her hands? "
"The Ancient Tree Sap can paralyze a forest dragon. We've already injected the Fairy Witch with three times the dosage. She won't be able to use her magic or move normally for the next few months, or even years." The Spirit of Branch Teresa laughed maniacally.
"It won't take that long, just a few days. I think the false god of the lake will find a new spokesperson for herself. Well, if she still has the energy," Man Frey said hoarsely.
Morgiana's heart began to sink into an ice cellar. The Lake Goddess Witch tried to struggle, but she realized in despair that even with all her strength, her wrists could not even move a centimeter. Her whole body was full of heavy exhaustion. Just breathing took all her strength.
She tried to open her eyes, but there was no dazzling light. A new moon was hanging in the sky, and she was being carried forward by a group of Tree Spirits.
The Golden Belt was gone, and so was the longsword blessed by the Fairy of the Lake. Morgiana tried to look around. The dark forest environment meant that they were still in the Chalon Forest.
What should she do? What should she do? The Lake Goddess Witch was exhausted as she tried to think of a way to save herself.
The communication gem was destroyed, and the Holy Grail was taken away by the vampires. Now she was defenseless, without magic power or stamina, she could not send a signal for help.
So Morgiana tried to pray.
It was useless. Something was blocked. Without the abundant magic power she had before, Morgiana could not contact the Lake Fairy. Manfred seemed to have used some kind of restriction on her.
Deep despair.
Morgiana had to pretend that she was still asleep and at the mercy of others, looking for a chance to escape. There would be a small number of hunters and thieves in the Chalon Forest. Occasionally, there would be expeditionary knights, because the expeditionary knights would go on a pilgrimage to the "Lily Island" in the Chalon Forest. It was the place where the first generation of Holy Grail Knights met the Fairy of the Lake.
This was the only chance the Lake Goddess Witch had to escape. She was too weak. It was impossible for her to escape on her own.
Reality disappointed her. In the few hours of walking, the team did not meet any humans.
On the contrary, when they arrived, Morgiana felt that she was violently thrown to the ground. The Lake Goddess Witch coughed and gasped loudly. She tried to get up, but a hand directly grabbed her collar and lifted her up.
"Cough, cough, cough." Morgiana breathed painfully. Her hands hung down, and her neck was tilted back, revealing a swan-like neck.
"We need to perform a ritual. I hope you can cooperate, my dear Lake Goddess Witch." Man Frey smiled, revealing a mouth of white teeth. The cursed blade reflected the light of the moon.
"Despicable midnight scum … You want … I only have one answer. Don't even think about it …" Morgiana struggled hard, but only her fingertips could tremble slightly.
"A perfect ritual, my dear Lake Goddess Witch. You will join us and become one of us. You will experience the joy of drinking blood." Man Frey's big bald head reflected the light of the moon. The cold moonlight was so dazzling. The vampire's words were like the sharpest spear, deeply piercing the heart of the Lake Goddess Witch.
"… No, you can't do this!" Morgiana was obviously shaken. For the Lake Goddess Witch, who had always been high and mighty, if she fell from being the Chosen One of the Lake Goddesses to a vampire who relied on drinking blood to survive, how humiliating and humiliating would that be?
Man Frey let go of his hand, and Morgiana fell directly in front of him. The vampire did not care. He said to the branch spirit Teresa, "We're here. You can go back."
"… Understood." The Dryad looked at Morgiana who was lying on the ground, and then looked at the Dryads who followed her. She nodded to show that she understood. Indeed, the agreement between her and the vampire ended here. She had to leave with the Dryads.
Before leaving, Teresa secretly looked at Morgiana who was a mess, covered in mud and leaves. A trace of sadness flashed across the Dryad's twisted and vicious face. The Dryad felt guilty for her actions.
But when she thought of her plan, she felt that it was worth it to betray Morgiana. It was all because of those damned Wood Elves. Their existence had seriously affected the balance of Aziloron. In thousands of years, the Dryad had witnessed the Wood Elves' various atrocities and provocations. Even though the Wood Elves also fought bloody battles to protect the forest, the violent and sorrowful Teresa could no longer understand and understand.
The only thing she wanted to do now was to destroy all the Wood Elves in Aziloron and return the forest to the control of the Dryads. For this goal, she could sacrifice everything.
After the Dryads left, only Morgiana and Man Frey were left in the clearing.
Morgiana's beautiful golden hair was stained with mud. In the middle of the clearing, there was an altar full of filth and undead energy. It was framed with white bones, and there were all kinds of rare treasures, embroidered pillows, and other luxurious decorations. It was a display of the extravagance of the vampires.
"Is this what you want? Man Frey von Karstein, I curse you! " Morgiana cursed viciously, but Man Frey did not feel anything. "If you were in your prime, cursing me might have worked."
The terrifying vampire count, Man Frey von Karstein, came from the Empire. When the old Empire fell into the famous "Rebellion of the Three Emperors", the vampire family rose from Sylvania. Among them, the most famous vampire family was the von Karstein family. The leader of the family, Vlad, stole the position of Kurfürst of Sylvania and turned the entire Kurfürst territory into a gloomy and terrifying place, the home of the undead.
Among them, the most famous leader of the vampires was called Vlad Von Karstein. The leader of the Karstein family was once very close to completely defeating the Imperium, but the Kurfürsten soon realized the crisis. Vlad was defeated by the Kurfürsten, and Sylvania was purged by the army.
When the Karstein family was fighting for the position of overlord, Man Frey kept a low profile. Instead of fighting for power recklessly, he focused on practicing necromancy magic and traveled the world disguised as a human noble.
In order to find more advanced necromancy spells, he traveled alone to the place of origin of necromancy — the remote and ancient Nikohala. In this ominous place, with painstaking research, Man Frey mastered all the mysteries of necromancy. He returned to Sylvania and became the new leader of the vampires.
In the battle of Helfinn, the Empire defeated Man Frey and his undead army again. However, it was always difficult for vampires to truly die. Morgiana stared at Man Frey's hairless head with her green eyes. The Lake Goddess witch knew that this terrifying vampire had returned again.
The Lake Goddess witch was placed on the altar, and her wrists and ankles were tightly tied. While thinking about how to escape, she tried to understand some things. "It's useless to capture me. In history, there have been Lake Goddess witches who died in battle, but as long as my lady is still alive, a new Lake Goddess witch will be reincarnated on a new Lake Goddess prophet. Your plan will never succeed!"
"Maybe you want to know more about the truth from me. Unfortunately, I have to tell you that you're only using a part of the resurrection of my master. I don't know the details. Arkham, my master's loyal dog, did not tell me more." Man Frey answered Morgiana casually. Then he took out the sixth scroll of the Book of Nagash, faced Morgiana, and began to cast a spell.
Even though the Lake Goddess witch was captured, she still had the blessing of the Lake Goddess witch. Man Frey could not directly turn her into a vampire with a "Kiss of Blood". If he dared to do so, Man Frey himself would be greatly injured.
He had to extract the magic power from Morgiana first. Therefore, the vampire count cast the sixth-circle spell, Siphon of Life.
"Ugh … Ah!" Morgiana's magic power flowed out of her body uncontrollably. The Lake Goddess witch could not control her body. A large amount of magic power was extracted from her body. In extreme pain, Morgiana could not stop screaming. Her beautiful face was twisted into a ball. The pain of her magic power being extracted from her body almost made her lose her mind.
Part of the emerald green magic power dissipated in the air, and part of it was transformed into a terrible undead magic. Man Frey was enjoying the gift from the Lake Goddess witch. His breath was getting stronger and stronger.
What should I do? What should I do? The pain forced Morgiana to keep her mind clear. The Lake Goddess witch tried to think of a way to escape. She did not have much time left. As soon as all the magic power in her body was extracted, she would receive the Kiss of Blood and be turned into a vampire!
Her magic power was getting less and less. The situation was getting more and more dangerous. A trace of dawn appeared on the horizon. Dawn was coming.
The Lake Goddess witch, who was in despair, suddenly felt a burning touch on her lower abdomen.
It was the seal left by Laing. The silver heart, the open wings, and the pattern of the sword on the heart were shining.
Morgiana closed her eyes. She tried to feel the burning energy in the seal. Inside the seal, Laing's light blue psionic power was still running. She did not know why, but even the treant's ancient tree sap could not affect Laing's power.
The Siphon of Life of the vampire count triggered the defense mechanism of the seal. The seal began to operate!
Morgiana used the last of her strength to try to mobilize Laing's magic power in the seal.
Laing! Lend me your power.
I need you!
As if their minds were connected, the seal was opened, and the energy within the seal surged into Morgiana's body. Although it was only a small amount, it was more than enough for the Lake Goddess Witch to cast a spell!
Morgiana raised her wrist and quietly chanted a fourth-circle spell.
"Forest's Fury!"
Thorns and branches rose from the ground, firmly binding Manfred and his body. The Siphon of Life was interrupted, and the pain of the backlash caused by the spell cast halfway made the vampire count feel a sharp pain in his head. He covered his head in pain. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Subconsciously, the vampire count threw the long sword "Blasphemy Blade" in his hand towards Morgiana.
"Ugh!" The Lake Goddess Witch cried out in pain.
The emerald green energy that dissipated in the air exploded, forming a thick smoke.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! This f * cking woman actually hid her last bit of magic power! " Manfred roared furiously. With a flash of powerful necromancy magic, the branches and thorns that entangled him were instantly turned into fragments and ashes under the erosion of necromancy magic. The thick fog was also completely dispelled.
Looking up, there was only a trace of blood left on the altar. Morgiana's figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Ahhhhh!" Man Frey roared crazily. He actually let the Lake Goddess Witch escape?
The vampire count was a powerful undead wizard. He slightly sensed the direction of Morgiana's teleportation spell. The Lake Goddess Witch was injected with three times the amount of Ancient Tree Sap, and was also cut by his own Blasphemy Blade. It was a problem for her to move normally. Her teleportation spell definitely couldn't have gone far.
Chase!
Man Frey picked up the Blasphemy Blade and chased in the direction of Morgiana's teleportation spell.
…
In fact, Morgiana didn't go far. Only about 1,200 meters away from the altar, the Lake Goddess Witch flew out of the void and fell on the roots of a big tree. Her magic power was exhausted.
Extremely strong fatigue and weakness made Morgiana unable to stand. Under the effect of the medicine, her body had no strength at all. The Lake Goddess Witch covered the left side of her waist with her hand. Traces of blood came out from the gap between her palms. She barely avoided the vital parts, but there was a long bloody wound on the left side of her waist.
"My lady, my lady, I … Morgiana may not be able to serve you anymore." The Lake Goddess Witch could barely stand up. She muttered to herself, "Laing … Maybe I should listen to you …"
