"Sebastian? He actually called me directly. Did he make some important discovery?"
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
After thinking for a while, she stood up and closed the door of the study, asked the maid not to disturb her for the time being, and then sank into consciousness, communicating with the Holy Book of Blood in the ocean of consciousness.
The surrounding scene changed again, and Charlotte once again returned to the spiritual world of the Dark Night Castle.
She summoned the crimson sea of stars that represented the vampires, and pointed slightly at the twinkling star that represented Sebastian. A ray of consciousness passed through the void and was projected onto where Sebastian was.
…
This is a dilapidated castle standing on a coastal cliff.
The tall stone walls have long been dilapidated, but one can still vaguely see their former glory.
At this moment, a fierce battle is taking place outside the castle.
The Castell soldiers wearing chain mail hid on the broken battlements of the castle. They looked at the sky in fear, and their hands holding the bows and arrows could not help shaking.
Above the sky, a ferocious black dragon with a wingspan of over fifteen meters was fighting fiercely with Sebastian.
The furious dragon roar, carrying with it astonishing dragon power, struck the hearts of every soldier like a tsunami. Many people were foaming at the mouth and had passed out under the terrifying pressure.
The area within a kilometer radius centered on the ancient castle was in ruins. The dragon's breath had corroded the forest and the coast into a wasteland. Horrifying claw marks and sword marks more than ten meters long could be seen everywhere.
Sebastian floated in mid-air, with a floating magic ring condensing behind him, and holding a black flaming sword in his hand.
He looked quite embarrassed, but he finally managed to protect the Castel soldiers in the castle behind him, preventing the black dragon's breath from hurting anyone.
Sitting on the back of the black dragon was a black-robed wizard wearing a demon eye mask. He looked down at Sebastian and said in surprise:
"As expected of the Scarlet Blade that was once famous in the East Yunite Black Land. Even though its spiritual stance is broken, it still possesses the power to contend with the dragon..."
"But no matter how strong your endurance is, how long can you last under the might of the dragon? I don't understand why you are standing in front of these humans when you can escape unscathed."
"Or have you really given up your freedom and become Castel's loyal dog as the legend says?"
After hearing the black wizard's words, Sebastian grinned in disdain.
He elegantly wiped away the blood that had just spurted out from his mouth after being hit hard by the dragon, and then said calmly:
"I have decided to pledge my loyalty to Castel, and I will naturally do my job well. How can my ambitions and pursuits be understood by short-sighted people like you?"
As he spoke, he looked deeply at the black-robed wizard:
"Your Excellency, although you are an elf, you have joined the Blood Demon Cult, which is notorious even among the blood descendants..."
"Oh no, you're not even an elf anymore. I sense a familiar aura in you. You should be a descendant of the elves of the Ness clan on Luna Island, right?"
"You betrayed the elves and your own clan... Are you really not afraid that Luna Island and Nice will join forces to hunt you down?"
After hearing Sebastian's words, the scarlet eyes under the mask of the black-robed wizard changed slightly.
He almost subconsciously covered his pointed ears under the mask, and then said angrily:
"Shut up! You're a piece of trash who was hunted by the Pure White Witch across half the continent!"
"Eudocia! Kill him!"
The black wizard shouted angrily, and the black magic book in his hand flashed red.
The ferocious black dragon roared and rushed towards Sebastian, flapping its wings.
Looking at the black dragon rushing towards him, Sebastian smiled slightly.
He gave up his defense, raised the flaming sword in his hand, and chanted in a rhythmic voice:
"Imprisonment Flame of Death!"
Black flames spread from the sword, transforming into a huge cage that wrapped both Sebastian and the black dragon.
"The Dark Knight's Death Imprisonment? Hey... Sebastian, it seems that you got a lot of good stuff during your adventure in the East Yunite Black Land."
"It's just that if you think you can imprison Eudocia with an incomplete third-level imprisonment spell, that's really ridiculous."
The black-robed wizard sneered.
However, when he saw Sebastian's half-smile, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.
At the same time, Sebastian suddenly glowed with light, and a strong aura suddenly rose from him...
Feeling that frightening aura, the black-robed wizard's eyes suddenly changed, full of disbelief:
"You... actually recovered your strength?!"
"Not good! Eudocia, retreat quickly!"
He shouted, and the magic book in his hand glowed, ordering the diving black dragon to stop attacking.
A blood-red light bloomed around the black dragon.
The black dragon let out an angry roar and stopped its movements abruptly.
The black-robed wizard did not hesitate and immediately took out a scroll from his arms and tore it into pieces.
A brilliant light bloomed under the black dragon, transforming into a huge circular magic circle.
The figures of the black dragon and the wizard gradually faded, and before Sebastian's fire cage closed, they turned into light and disappeared.
As he watched the magical light gradually fade away, a trace of regret flashed across Sebastian's face.
"Heh...you run pretty fast."
He sneered and slowly descended from the air.
As soon as he landed on the ground, he swayed slightly and almost fell down.
"Lord Sebastian!"
Upon seeing this, the Castel guards in the castle rushed out one after another, and the leading captain even stretched out his hand to help.
"It's okay. The consumption is a bit high. You can take a look and see how many casualties there are."
Sebastian shook his head, stopped the captain of the guard from helping him, and then entered the inner hall of the castle alone.
"I need to meditate and rest. Please don't disturb me for now."
He said to the crowd.
"yes!"
The guards saluted one after another with a very respectful attitude.
Sebastian closed the door of the castle's inner hall.
The moment the door closed, crimson mist spread around.
Sebastian's heart moved and he slowly raised his head.
He saw that everything around him had changed. It was no longer the dilapidated castle, but the dark castle he was familiar with.
Then, Charlotte's clear and pleasant voice came from the front:
"Sebastian, this mission of yours is unexpectedly wonderful."
Sebastian looked up, and saw that the being he was loyal to was still sitting high on the mysterious and majestic throne of blood.
Perhaps it was because both parties were very familiar with each other, and her form was not the "Lady of the Dark Night", but still the "Lord Earl" he saw in daily life.
"Master, Sebastian disappoints you by not being able to keep them here."
Sebastian knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
"It doesn't matter. They are the ones who ran fast. There will be another chance in the future."
Charlotte shook her head and said.
After saying that, she looked at the other person again:
"Just don't be so reckless in the future. Don't risk your life to imprison the enemy. Even if I accept your call and successfully descend upon the power, it will still be too dangerous for you."
"Remember, you are already my possession. I need you to stay alive and do good things for me, not take radical risks."
After hearing Charlotte's words, Sebastian was moved and bowed his head respectfully:
"Sebastian, I understand."
Seeing the other party like this, Charlotte also breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really scared just now, and when she projected over, she ran directly into Black Dragon Lake's face. Fortunately, the other party retreated in time. If he really rushed over, she would have to forcibly use the power released by the True Ancestor.
Things are different now than when we were in Boulder City.
At that time, she and Sebastian were not far apart, so it didn't cost much to use Sebastian's body to project divine power.
And now... Charlotte estimated that Sebastian should be in the northeastern border area of the earldom, which is not very close to North Port, and it would consume a lot of divine power to project it.
Not to mention that even though she just took a quick look at the black dragon and the wizard with the help of Sebastian's vision, she could vaguely feel that the other party was not that simple.
Let’s not talk about the magician for now, his strength is probably not as strong as Sebastian, but the black dragon is definitely much stronger than Sebastian.
I don’t know how Sebastian managed to hold on, or maybe... the other party didn’t use his full strength
"That black dragon just now... had a familiar aura. Is it the giant dragon that once stayed in the silver mine?"
Charlotte asked.
"I'm afraid... Yes, the dragon power on it is similar to that of Quixote, but it is more refined than the dragon power on the descendant of Valadet. I'm afraid it is the source of the other party's dragon power."
Sebastian said respectfully.
Charlotte nodded slightly:
"Eudocia... sounds like a female name."
Sebastian nodded.
"It's a common name among dragons. As you can see, it should be a female dragon."
Charlotte nodded and asked:
"Tell me, what did you find out during this investigation?"
After hearing what Charlotte said, Sebastian's expression was a little strange:
"Master, it's a bit strange. When I came here according to your instructions, the vampires in the castle had already withdrawn, leaving only an empty fortress."
"We followed the traces they left behind and found some traces of the descendants of the Ness clan in the nearest city, but... they don't seem to have any intention of getting involved with us."
"Not only that, we even got a list of nobles from nearby cities that were lured away by the Ness blood clan. Before leaving, the other party showed goodwill to us and even left behind a lot of refined mithril..."
"Master, I suddenly don't understand what the Ness clan is doing."
Charlotte: …
She knew why. It was probably because Duke Yorok's order was successfully issued, and the vampires on Earl Lachlan's side also received the news and began to retreat in an orderly manner.
I have to say, this Blood Duke of the Ness clan... is really interesting.
