Baron Zeon, Baron Castle, the third floor of the prayer room.
François and Suria stood at the head of the bed in the elegantly decorated prayer room. They looked at Morgiana, who was lying weakly on the bed. The Lake Goddess witch leaned on Laing and told him what had happened in a weak voice.
When Laing brought the heavily injured Morgiana back to Baron Zeon, François and the others were shocked. The Lake Goddess witch was the Chosen One of the Lake Fairies and the spokesperson of the mortal world, but she was seriously injured. François immediately helped Laing block all news. All the servants and knights who had seen Morgiana were ordered to keep quiet.
The Lake Goddess witch was seriously injured. Her body was covered in dirt and dust, and she was very weak. Laing could only ask Olica to boil water and bathe Morgiana. He then changed her into a clean set of clothes and carried her to the prayer room on the third floor to rest.
Morgiana was lying on a soft feather bed. Laing covered her with a thick quilt and tucked it in. François and Suria stood beside the bed. The Duke's face was full of doubt and anxiety. Suria was holding Laing's hand. Her face was pale and she didn't know what to do.
No one thought that the Lake Goddess witch with Saint-level strength would become like this.
Her long blonde hair was scattered around the pillow. She opened her eyes weakly. Her emerald eyes subconsciously looked for Ryan. "Ryan … Ryan?"
"I'm here, Your Highness." Laing hurried to the head of the bed. Morgiana's small hand reached out from under the quilt. Laing held her hand. "It's okay, Your Highness. It's safe here."
Morgiana's hand was very soft. The Lake Goddess witch nodded gently. It was early spring, but she was shivering from the cold. Her voice was full of regret. "… I was too confident. I shouldn't have gone alone. The Branch Spirit Teresa and her Zoya Dryads betrayed me. They first led me into the forest. Then Man Frey appeared and fought with me. She attacked me from behind when I was casting spells and betrayed me to the vampires …"
The Lake Goddess witch did not have any strength. She told the story and closed her eyes. "In the end, it was Laing who came in time to save me."
François frowned. He paced in the prayer room. "The dryads in the forest are divided into many factions. The friendly faction led by Dursu, the neutral faction led by Adanhu, and the hostile faction led by Kodile. The three ancient dryads had a fierce debate on whether to welcome the wood elves in the forest. In the end, Kodile insisted, Adanhu compromised, and Dursu gave up. So the dryads were divided into three factions. Dursu and Adanhu chose to accept the wood elves, Dursu and the wood elves coexisted, Adanhu left alone. Kodile insisted on drawing a clear line with the wood elves. He designated a piece of forest and prohibited the wood elves from entering. The wood elves also agreed."
"Things changed hundreds of years ago. The Saint-level Beast King, 'Shadowbane' Morgul, attacked the Asoloran Forest just like this time. During the battle, Kodile was deeply corrupted and eventually went crazy. He went crazy and killed the wood elves until he was completely defeated. The wood elves knew that Kodile was hopeless, but they still could not kill him. So they could only seal him in the depths of the forest."
"The spirit of the branches, Teresa, was once Kodile's maid, my lord." After François told him this secret history, the duke frowned and scolded, "My lord, you shouldn't have gone to the depths of the forest to meet Teresa. It's too dangerous! Maybe it's just as you said, the vampires and Teresa have formed an alliance. "
Morgiana did not answer and only nodded slightly. She regretted it. Morgiana was strong enough to dominate the continent. She also had the blessing and powerful protection of the Lake Nymphs. In Brittany, as long as she sent out a signal for help, a group of knights would immediately come to her aid. She could ask the Lake Nymphs for help and teleport away.
The only thing she did not expect was that the dryads and vampires could form an alliance. One represented life, and the other represented death. The dryads and vampires were like two sides of a coin. Their alliance was beyond anyone's imagination.
"Ugh!" The Lake Nymphs wanted to say something, but she suddenly cried out in pain. Her beautiful face was almost twisted into a ball. "Ugh … Ugh …"
"Oh no! The seal is broken! " Lifting the blanket, Morgiana's jade-like skin had a black crack on it. The Lake Nymphs arched in pain, and the black crack was spreading along her waist.
"It's the curse of the vampires! My seal is no longer working! "Laing said anxiously." I need to see the lady immediately! "
"Then go. Suria and I will wait here for news." François also knew the seriousness of the matter. He nodded and then motioned for Laing to go.
This country could not afford to lose the Lake Nymphs.
Laing picked up Morgiana and rushed out of the door. The female knight looked at Laing's back worriedly. Today was supposed to be a good day to discuss the engagement. Suria did not expect such a thing to happen. Fortunately, the time had been discussed. The female knight had a lot to say to Laing, but in this case, she could only keep quiet and look for another opportunity.
Carrying Morgiana, Laing ran wildly. Under the command of François, he did not meet anyone along the way. He followed the corridor of the city wall to the valley behind the castle. Before he knelt down to pray, the fog dispersed.
Ten minutes later, in the bedroom on the fourth floor of the Lake Nymphs Tower.
Laing sat on the bed. Morgiana leaned on his chest, a pair of small jade feet peeking out from under her nightgown. Laing whispered, "The lady doesn't seem to be here."
"Maybe … the lady doesn't want to see me." Morgiana shook her head gently. The white nightgown outlined her beautiful figure, but it could not hide her pale face and the black lines caused by the curse. The Lake Nymphs Witch whispered, "Without the Holy Grail, the reincarnation of the next Lake Nymphs Witch will be very troublesome … It's my responsibility. If the lady wants to punish me, even if I die, I will accept it."
Laing's expression was unpredictable. His expression was uncertain, hesitant, and a little depressed. He gently put Morgiana on the bed and then stood up.
Morgiana's face was pale, and her lips were trembling. The Lake Nymphs Witch could not move. She said sadly, "It's okay. I'm content to die here. I've let the lady down … Ugh!"
The black cracks were still spreading. Laing's seal was broken again. The poison and curse power of the Blasphemy Blade were spreading towards Morgiana's heart. Laing injected his psionic power again and forced the black cracks back to Morgiana's waist. However, this was a temporary solution. The curse power had penetrated deep into her body and could erupt at any time.
What should I do? Do I really have to watch Morgiana die in front of me? Laing's heart was restless. He was not really helpless. Veronica had been poisoned before, and he had used internal injection to detoxify her. However, Morgiana was different. She was the Lake Nymphs Witch! He could not blaspheme her! He was taking advantage of her! This was not in line with the moral bottom line he had set for himself.
But still, was he going to watch Morgiana die in front of him?
"My champion, Morgiana may have made a mistake, but I'm willing to give her another chance. You fought for this chance for her. You should decide what to do."
The Lake Nymphs Witch's words suddenly rang in Laing's heart. The Chosen One quickly asked, "But, this means that I have to …"
"Why don't you ask for her opinion? How do you know she's not willing? " The Lake Nymphs Witch's voice continued, "I still need a mortal speaker. If Morgiana and the Holy Grail are lost, the Lake Nymphs Witch's legacy will be cut off. She has no choice, and neither do I."
"Understood." Laing finally nodded. At the same time, Morgiana, who was lying on the bed, also received the order. Her face flashed with surprise, but in the end, she closed her eyes.
The Lake Nymphs Witch nodded gently at Laing. She had agreed.
… … Shrouded in fog … …
Brittany, Cursed City, Muxilon's high tower. Akerhan raised his staff and pointed it at Man Frey's face. His voice carried a heavy pressure, "Man Frey! You've disappointed your master once again! "
The vampire Count did not feel that he had failed. He opened his mouth and went tit for tat with Akerhan, "Your plan wasn't perfect, Akerhan. You didn't tell me that Brittany actually had a Holy Grail Knight who could dispel magic! And your treant allies were unreliable. They claimed that their Ancient Tree Essence could completely control the Lake Nymphs Witch's actions. But when the ritual reached a critical moment, she actually had a final bit of magic left! "
"Man Frey! Is this your first day dealing with a spellcaster? As a great Magus proficient in necromancy and death magic, don't you understand? Morgiana is a Sky and Life Chosen One of the Sacred Lands! Can't she do something? It's you! You were too careless! " Akerhan's voice carried traces of anger and regret. The Lich King walked in front of Man Frey and drew his sword, warning him, "You missed such a good opportunity. What's even more foolish is that you actually gave up on pursuing!"
"I didn't give up!" Man Frey roared. In the dark and gloomy environment, he angrily pushed away the Lich King's rotten and shriveled shell. He immediately turned and walked towards the window, "At that time, there were obviously stronger enemies rushing over to support me. If I hadn't retreated, I would have been surrounded! Or even died! "
"So? Don't forget, Man Frey, all vampires are Master's dependents! You too! We are all Master's servants! " Akerhan continued, "Only by maintaining your loyalty to Master will you be destroyed by him!"
"…" Man Frey remained silent. Indeed, all vampires were servants and servants of the Lord of the Undead, Nagash. This was fated when the ancestors of vampires drank Nagash's potions and became vampires. Vampires were unable to resist Nagash. This was the reason why Man Frey served Akerhan.
However, the cunning Man Frey's loyalty was not absolute. In other words, he was definitely not loyal.
Loyalty that was not absolute was definitely not loyal.
The vampire count didn't care whether Nagash was resurrected or not. He only came here because he couldn't resist Nagash's power. He wasn't willing to sacrifice himself for Nagash. In his heart, he only cared about himself.
"Man Frey, are you listening?" Akerhan's voice continued. The Lich King had already put away his temporary anger and loss of composure. He returned to his gentle tone, "You did not manage to capture Morgiana. Even if you have extracted enough magic for the Nine Scrolls, you have only completed half of your mission. Now, it is time to complete the remaining half."
Man Frey turned around. His face was as pale as marble. The moonlight shone on his head, constantly reflecting and illuminating the room, "Then what should I do?"
"We must capture the Lake Goddess Witch and sacrifice her to Master!" Akerhan moved his steps and walked to the window, "Master's revival requires nine sacrifices … or eight. This is the bottom line."
"Ahhh, she has already disappeared into the forest. How are we going to find her?" Man Frey also calmed down. At least in front of Akerhan, Nagash's most loyal servant, the vampire count would not reveal his true thoughts.
"…" Akerhan tried to divine Morgiana's whereabouts, but this time he failed. The Lake Goddess Witch's whereabouts were obscured by the thick fog, blurring his vision, "My curse has lost its effect. Perhaps the bitch in the lake has already protected Morgiana."
"What about the Potion Holy Grail? Where did you put it? "Akerhan suddenly asked.
"I put it in the Spire Palace and gave it to Count Orcarson to manage. The energy there is too strong. I think it is better to keep it away from us," Man Frey said.
"A wise decision. If we are too close, the Potion Holy Grail will weaken our power …" Akerhan repeated, "Laing -Macado, Laing -Macado, it's him again. He ruined my plan. Since that is the case, we will first destroy his territory and destroy everything he has!"
"Order the second unit of the Blood Knights to move out. Pass through the Chalon Forest and attack Baron Zeon's territory! Have Anak move out and bring me Laing -Macado's head! Immediately! "
"Yes!" A unit of thirteen Blood Knights moved out under the Lich King's orders. They would pass through the Chalon Forest and attack Baron Zeon's territory, "Advance! Blood Castle Knights! "
