An emblem team of Blood Knights traveled through the night. They raised the Crimson Dragon War Flag and rode on Nightmare Warhorses that emitted black smoke. They were all Legendary-rank experts. After hundreds of years of training, they would become the nightmare of humans.
In the dense forest, the Blood Knights destroyed every living thing they saw. The Nightmare Horses breathed out sulphuric fumes, and in the middle of the Blood Knights was a Vampire Lord. He was Anak, Akhan's subordinate. He was a powerful assassin, and countless heroes had lost their lives to his assassinations.
However, the Blood Knights were stopped in the forest.
They were three tall figures with golden helmets and golden armor. They had red tassels on their heads. "Undead, we can't let you pass."
The Blood Esquires let out loud mocking laughter. The leader of the Blood Esquires laughed and said, "There are only three of you and fourteen of us. This is an unfair duel. We won't fight you like this! You can choose three people to fight with you. "
"Yes, this is indeed an unfair duel!" The three-meter tall giant in golden armor held a huge Guardian Halberd in his hand. He said loudly, "Or, we can give you a handicap of two people."
"Ahhh! Kill them! " Such humiliation infuriated the Blood Knights. The emblem team leader shouted. The Blood Knights raised their spears and charged towards the enemies.
The Imperial Guards were also ready. Their golden halberds emitted golden light in the darkness.
“FORTHEEMPEROR！！！”
The Guardian Halberd of the Imperial Guards pierced through the Blood Knights' chests in 0.1 seconds. Golden light flowed in the forest. The Imperial Guards quickly turned into blurry shadows. They shouted the name of the Emperor and swore that they would give victory to the Lord of Humans as their highest glory.
The sound of boltguns and metal clashing could be heard in the forest.
In just a short while, the forest under the night became quiet again. It was as if nothing had happened. There was only the rustling of leaves in the wind.
… …
In the morning, Morgiana was still lying on her bed. She used a pillow to cover her face. Her mind was still recalling the unsightly scene that had happened a few hours ago. It made her feel humiliated and embarrassed.
The curse had been removed, but her body was still very weak. The Lake Goddess Witch knew that she could only maintain this state for a few years. She needed a long time to recuperate.
Her whole body was sore and weak. She could do nothing but wait for others to come in and serve her. This was unacceptable for the proud Lake Goddess Witch, but she had no choice. It was her own fault, and she had to atone for it.
After waiting for a while, the dark elf Olica walked in with a tray of breakfast. She was wearing a black and white maid uniform. She placed the tray on the bed and bowed. "Your breakfast is here, Your Highness Morgiana. If you don't like it, you can tell me. I'll make you a new one. If you have any requests, you can also tell me immediately. I'll pass them on for you."
With Olica's help, Morgiana barely managed to turn over. Her body was still weak. The Lake Goddess Witch noticed Olica's pointed ears and the golden rings on them. A trace of hostility flashed in her eyes, but it quickly turned into a sigh.
Breakfast was hot goat's milk, toast, bacon, and fruit.
Olica didn't say a word. She stood at the head of the bed and served Morgiana.
Morgiana was indeed hungry. She ate a little in a perfect manner and tried to ask what had happened. "This is the prayer room on the third floor. How did Laing bring me here?"
"Master carried you out of the Lady of the Lake's tower in the middle of the night. He announced that your injuries had been healed by the Lady. Sir François and Miss Suria saw this and went back," Olica said calmly.
"Who changed my clothes? I wasn't wearing this yesterday! "Morgiana continued to ask.
"I changed your clothes."
"Where is Laing?"
"Last night, a Blood Knight tried to attack Master's territory. Master is dealing with this matter now. He should be back soon." The dark elf still had a calm expression.
"Then when Laing is free, call him over."
"Yes." The dark elf left. Olica left and closed the door. When facing Morgiana, Olica always felt like she was being scrutinized. This made the dark elf feel uncomfortable.
Similarly, Morgiana felt uncomfortable. She felt pain in her front and back and forced herself to sit up and lean against the pillow. The soft down mattress made her feel comfortable, but seeing the dark elf made her feel uncomfortable. She felt that the dark elf's body was also filled with Laing's psionic power. Even without magic power, Morgiana, with her high observation skills, could tell what was going on with the dark elf just by looking at Olica.
After waiting for a while, Laing came. He was wearing a baron's suit. "Your Highness, are you feeling better?"
Morgiana's face was slightly red. She pursed her lips, as if she did not know how to speak. After taking some time to calm down, she tried to ask, "What happened? A Blood Knight attacked your territory? "
"Yes, but the problem has been solved." Leon nodded. He moved a chair and sat in front of the bed. "It could be the Blood Knights searching for your whereabouts. It could also be a revenge attack on me. It could also be a combination of both."
"As the Lady's First Chosen One and a Grand Sorcerer of the Holy Realm, I'm an excellent carrier of divine power and mana. If the vampires really want to revive Nagash, it's reasonable for them to target me. Morgiana leaned her head on Laing's shoulder and sighed. "The resurrection of the Lord of the Undead requires a large amount of magic power and magic power carriers. Now that all my magic power has been taken away, the vampires still need my body to carry Nagash back."
"But you survived, Morgiana. This is the most important thing." Laing said softly. "Magic power can be recovered slowly, but if you lose your life … then there is nothing left."
"Morgiana Le Fay. This is my full name. Don't tell anyone other than the Lady." Morgiana whispered in Laing's ear. "I have a question. Laing, can you tell me the truth?"
"I will do my best to answer it." Laing smiled and shook his head.
"If you want to save someone, do you really have to do that with me like last night? What if it is a man? Or an animal. Don't tell me you want to do that with him … with them? " Morgiana blushed and asked. "I don't hate you. I just feel that this is too strange. I have lived for decades and now I have completely given my body to you. I mean, if François or Julius were to encounter the same problem, would you also do that with a man to help them purify?"
"… Yes." Laing nodded helplessly, but then he explained, "But I would definitely not do that. I made this choice because it was the fastest, most effective, and easiest way."
Laing then gestured with his hands. "Normally, if the degree of corrosion is not serious, I have many other ways to purify. It doesn't matter if the efficiency is lower. If the human body is compared to a castle, then the corrosion is actually a battle between the invaders and the defenders. No matter who wins or loses, there needs to be a process. As long as I keep sending reinforcements and maintenance craftsmen, the corrosion is not difficult to defeat."
This analogy was very appropriate. Morgiana immediately nodded in understanding.
"But your situation was different. Not only were the gates of your castle wide open, but there were also no guards inside. So I needed the most direct, fastest, and most effective way …" Laing did not continue because there was no need. Morgiana was a smart person. She only needed to say half of what she wanted to say.
In fact, there was another way that Laing did not say. He could purify together with his father, the Emperor. He would be the transfer device. The Emperor would use his supreme power to extract all the life energy and rebuild a new body through Laing's purification.
This was something that the Lake Nymphs could not do. The Lake Nymphs' divine power leaned towards life. Laing's power was purification. When necessary, he could purify everything, including life.
"I see. So how many men have you done this with?" Morgiana's tone was inexplicably strange.
"Not a single one!" Ryan said with a pained expression, his face scrunched up into a ball.
"Then how many women have you done this with?" Morgiana continued to ask.
"I don't understand what you are asking. If you are referring to the purification of corruption and detoxification, then you are the third. If you are referring to the women I have slept with, then there are quite a few." Laing did not want to continue this topic. He stood up and walked to the statue of the Lake Nymphs.
"That Dark Elf too?" Morgiana raised her golden eyebrows.
"Yes … Now there is no doubt that the vampires want to resurrect the Lord of the Dead, Nagash. They are trying to find all the Nine Scrolls of Nagash and enough sacrifices. According to your experience, Your Highness Morgiana, in addition to the Nine Scrolls of Nagash, the other sacrifices needed to resurrect Nagash must be like you, the first Chosen One of the Gods or the Archbishop, who can withstand the possession of a God for a short time." Laing turned around and looked at Morgiana who was leaning on the pillow in a white dress. "I think, the Archbishop of the Goddess of Mercy must have disappeared like this. She must have become a vampire and sacrificed to Nagash."
"… Ugh!" Morgiana was about to get off the bed, but the tearing pain made her frown subconsciously. She cried out softly and was about to fall off the bed. Laing quickly held her up. "Your Highness, rest well!"
"If Nagash wants to be resurrected, it is definitely not enough to rely on sacrifices like the Archbishop of the Goddess of Mercy. When the Lord of the Dead was at his strongest, he once destroyed the Kingdom of Nicohara by himself. After his first resurrection, he once fought against Charlemagne's Empire and gained the upper hand." Morgiana had to stretch out her hand and ask Laing to carry her. Although the Lake Nymphs had lost her power, her wisdom was not affected.
Ryan carried her to a wooden bench and put her down, then stuffed two cushions under her body.
Morgiana's face was pale. She leaned weakly on the soft bench and said, "If Nagash wants to be reborn in a powerful shell, then the Archbishop of the Goddess of Mercy's body cannot contain his filthy and huge soul. The most ideal sacrifice for the vampire is the first Chosen One, such as me, or the Archbishop of the Church of Justice, Vickmar Beckman, or the King of the Forest, Ao Laing, or the White Wolf War God's incarnation, Pope Matak, or the White Wolf War God's first Chosen One, Eternal Queen of the High Elves, Arireli. What they have in common is that they have a huge amount of magic or divine power. They can cast spells and can be the carriers of gods for a long time."
"Then first of all, we can exclude Pope Matak, the Great Yuric." Laing shook his head first. "The White Wolf God does not like magic. His believers almost only choose to fight in close quarters. Matak is allowed by Yuric to summon the White Wolf Holy Fire to attack the enemy, but he himself does not use magic, and he will not leave the city of the White Wolf. Besides … Your Highness, no matter who the target is, it is very difficult to capture them alive."
"Don't underestimate the vampires, Laing." Morgiana gently nudged Laing with her bare foot under her long skirt. She seemed to be a little dissatisfied. "Many vampires are lurking in the upper class of the human nobles. The Cult of Chaos is everywhere. Many times, some impossible alliances are formed like this. For example, the vampires I met this time actually formed an alliance with some of the dryads. Life and death can form an alliance. Is there anything that these undead can't do?"
"… Your opinion is not wrong, Your Highness. It seems that we need to find a way to warn the Empire and the wood elves." Laing thought for a while and then stood up. "But, Morgiana, now we need to ensure your safety. The vampires must be looking for your whereabouts. You are very weak now. If you fall into the hands of the vampires again … I suggest that you rest in my castle."
Morgiana wanted to ask, "Your castle is safer than the Fairy Cathedral in the Lake?" There were 200 Holy Grail Knights stationed there.
But in the end, after considering many factors, the Lake Goddess nodded and agreed. She sighed faintly. "It is best not to let too many people know about me. Otherwise, the kingdom will fall into chaos. The matter of taking back the Holy Grail will be left to you and the other Holy Grail Knights."
"Don't worry about that. Leave it to me." Laing nodded and stood up. "Rest well, Your Highness. If you need anything, just tell me. Or tell Olica. She will arrange it for you."
Laing put his hands on Morgiana's shoulders. "Last time, you protected me. Now, it is my turn to protect you."
Morgiana's green eyes flashed. She kissed Laing's face. "Be prepared. The vampires will not give up on finding me."
"I understand."
…
When Laing returned to the first floor, Angelo had also arrived. The World Eater Geno Prototype was carrying a big sack. It was filled with the heads of blood knights. There was also the head of a Vampire Lord. "These guys must be coming for you."
Laing looked at the sharp fangs of the Vampire Lord. His expression was serious. "The vampires have not given up on finding Morgiana."
"Katzenberg! Send someone to ask for help from Mister François immediately! Also, mobilize the troops and prepare for war! "
"Yes!"
