Even if you become a witch, you have to eat oranges

Varna immediately came over and answered.

Glancing at her wordlessly, Simalu explained to the confused Naya:

"It should be retaliation for the previous battle. Many controlled monsters, probably tens of thousands, surrounded them. Can Hessen move now?"

In fact, Xilem didn't care how many of his subordinates died, and he didn't bother to lose one or two strongholds.She cared more about her puppet dying.

The cost of making puppets that can perfectly accommodate them is not low, and she doesn't have many in total.What's more, the spiritual connection is so close that she will be injured to some extent even if the puppet dies.

Out of trust in her companions, or seeing the anxiety hidden on their faces, Naya quickly understood the situation:

"Hessen, she hasn't come out of the room yet..."

"But now, even the dragon people are planning to run away."

Even though they have suffered heavy losses recently, most of the army and almost all the young men in the entire Dragon Tribe are much stronger than these few of them.

"If we don't leave quickly, we will be left behind."

Such consequences are simply unimaginable. With the number of army-level monsters, even if the official witch is besieged, they may fall. Only a strong person above the high-ranking witch can advance and retreat freely.

"I'll go and ask. If it doesn't work, just put her in the carriage and take her away!"

Naya made up her mind and immediately went back to the deepest room.

"Let's talk to Aniya too."

Simalu looked at Naya's leaving figure, feeling a little worried.

Naya walked quickly and soon arrived in front of Hessen's retreat room.

The frost here is even thicker, with ice edges hanging everywhere. The strong cold air creates a large amount of white mist that spreads out. It doesn't look like a room, but like some kind of strange situation.

click.

Stepping on the ice, Naya's skin got goosebumps. She couldn't help but rub her arms, and her whole body was shaking.

"Herson, can you hear me? How are you doing now?"

More than a day has passed since Hessen suddenly had symptoms of magic disorder. During this time, she has been staying in the room and has not come out at all.

"..."

A few minutes passed. Seeing that there was no response from the room, Naya became more and more anxious. She had the urge to break in, but she was afraid of causing any accidents.

"Hessen! The outside is surrounded now! We must leave quickly!"

"..."

Just when Naya was circling anxiously, almost unable to feel the coldness around her, a response finally came from the room.

"...Come in, I'm in a bit of trouble right now."

Naya immediately pushed the door open, only to find that the door was frozen by a thick layer of ice.A water bomb exploded on the ice, scattering ice shards.

"How's it going... eh?"

Naya was stunned as soon as she entered the room. Inside was a large block of ice as tall as a person. Hessen was trapped in the ice and could not move at all. He just blinked at her helplessly.

……

Emma's early-changing formation has been drawn up for some time, and the huge formation on the ground has begun to take shape.

All kinds of precious materials were taken out for free, and the engraving of the formation was also very complicated. Hela watched quietly from the side.

This is the summoning circle, which summons not life but power.Because it has to cross the space barrier, a large number of auxiliary functions are nested, which makes it extremely complicated.

Hela, who has inherited memory, can actually understand it somewhat, but the memory has not been completely unlocked after all, so she cannot fully understand it.

Coupled with the extremely delicate energy manipulation when portraying Emma, ​​it looks even more troublesome.

Because the combat power exceeds the standard, only at this time can Hela realize how different she is from the noble blood clan.

"Is Lord Hela very interested in this? This is designed by the lord himself. I just followed the description."

Emma seems very humble, but even if she is not the designer, some of the production techniques are already very complicated.

"It's almost done... To be honest, I wish it could be slower."

Emma's tone was a little ethereal, and her whole temperament changed a little, which surprised Hela.

"After all, who wants to die so early if they can live a little longer...just kidding."

Volume 242: [-]. Memories

A circular complex crimson array several meters wide has taken shape. Taking up a large part of it is a blood-colored crescent moon, vaguely connected to a distant place.

That aura made Hela breathe a little quickly. The purpose of her adventure was to contact the Blood Moon Kingdom and become a true inheritor of the Red.

"Miss Hela, what do you think the meaning of the vampires' lives is? I mean those who survive in the kingdom."

Emma unknowingly changed her name for Hela. Her words were no longer as respectful as before, but instead seemed a bit carefree and cordial.

She did not expect Hela to respond, but continued on by herself:

"Wangyue Cliff, which is regarded as the closest to the blood moon, and the dark night plain where the long river of blood lurks, is almost all controlled by the lords of the past generations, and some ancient clans have to retreat to the desolate mountains."

"They use this to avoid the lord's control - since they can't defeat them, they stay away, preferring to hide in deserted places."

"The vampires are very proud, especially the old antiques among them, but they also dare not make any resistance."

"And those ordinary vampires are in a more miserable situation. They have been used as materials by successive lords and used as cannon fodder to expand the secret realm."

"Tell me, what is the meaning of living in such a world?"

"I once went to a small village to perform a mission..."

At that time, I was still a baron-level vampire.As a confidant of the Lord, a squad leader of the Executioner Unit, went to investigate where there were intelligence reports of rebels.

As its name suggests, the Dark Night Plain is often covered by thick clouds, making it difficult for the light of the blood moon to shine through, making it dimmer than elsewhere.

"Captain Emma, ​​this mission seems to be a bit troublesome. I'm most annoyed by missions without detailed information."

One of his subordinates complained to Emma that she was also a female Vampire who had also reached the rank of Baron - this was considered standard equipment for the Executioner Army.

Of course, Emma is stronger and is extremely close to the ordinary Vampire Viscount.

"Rosie, it is our honor to serve the Lord. We cannot complain or be careless."

"Yeah, yeah." The female vampire Rosie is a girl with a round face and a little baby fat. She has a cute appearance and a lively personality.

This is very rare in the executioner team, compared to those arrogant and often arrogant colleagues.Even though she was weaker, Emma preferred to get along with her, and this time she only took her with her on the mission.

Rosie and Emma have worked together several times, and they know that this seemingly cold captain actually has a gentle side. The executioners who go on missions with her always suffer less damage.

Therefore, she was relatively relaxed, with a cheerful smile on her round face:

"It is said that he is a member of the Moon Worshipers, but in fact he is just a mixed blood race that does not even have a baron, but the information is relatively vague."

"This is just for vacation! We can take this opportunity to relax!"

Emma did not ruin her good mood. This mission was indeed not dangerous. She just reminded:

"That's why it's just the two of us. The other party will definitely be hiding. The key is how to find it."

Rosie smiled mysteriously when she heard this, looking confident:

"Captain, you often perform difficult combat missions. This kind of thing is actually very simple. Just watch me do it!"

"Well, then I'll see how Sister Rosie does it."

Emma smiled. She really didn't know what good idea this naive and stupid girl had.

"Look!"

The two of them chatted and hurried on. Because they both had baron-level strength and their status as executioners, the journey was smooth and there were no surprises.

There are many vampire nobles in the core area of ​​the Dark Night Plain, occupying areas with more resources.Of course, they were basically subordinate to the lord.

It is said that there are more, because recently there was a clan named Lampton, because it was revealed that family members had joined the 'Moon Worshipers', which caused a series of turmoil.The old patriarch dies and a new patriarch takes office.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Emma and the others.

Moving forward, the two arrived at their destination.

This is a very remote small village. Unlike the vampires who generally give people an elegant and noble impression, the people living here are mixed vampires with little potential.

There are no resources and no strategic value. It is completely isolated and barren land.

"Then let's start the investigation. I hope we won't waste too much time."

Emma recalled the file. This information came from a "Moon Worshiper" stronghold that had been taken away. It showed that a "Moon Worshiper" was offline in this remote place.

"It's really troublesome not having extra information." Emma complained as she thought about it.

The files show that the offline code name of this 'Moon Worshiper' is 'Snake'. Although his strength is not high, he often inquires about some of the Lord's secrets and incites vampires to rebel against the Lord.

All I know is that his hometown is suspected to be this small village, and he seems to have returned here recently.

Two 'suspects', couldn't they be more accurate?

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

Seeing Emma, ​​she planned to enter the village from the front in a big way. Rosie quickly stopped her and pouted her face with some resentment:

"Captain Emma, ​​what are you doing! Are you going in like this?"

"Otherwise? Shouldn't we reveal our identity as the 'executor' and ask the leaders of the village here to cooperate with the investigation?"

Emma had indeed mainly accepted combat missions before, so she was not too confident and planned to listen to Rosie's opinion.

"Of course not!"

Rosie held her forehead as if sighing, but her chubby face looked very childish and cute:

"These 'Moon Worshipers' are really good at hiding! And they usually have good relations with the local residents. It's definitely not possible to look for them in such a blatant manner!"

They will definitely be tipped off!That would be troublesome!

Rosie's words seem to make sense... But why do the 'Moon Worshipers' have a good relationship with ordinary vampires? They are obviously rebels who want to subvert the rule of the lord and destroy the peace.

Emma briefly recalled her previous contact with ordinary vampires. After the other party learned her identity as the 'executor', they immediately looked respectful and very frightened.

Is this a good relationship?

While Emma was thinking blankly, Rosie had already taken the lead and started to disguise herself. She took off all the things that showed her identity and changed into simple clothes. Even the Baron's aura was restrained.

"Hurry! Hurry! Let's pretend first!"

"Um……"

Emma also imitated her, restrained her aura, and dressed herself up like an ordinary village girl.

The two of them checked each other for a while and then walked into the gate of the small village.

"You have to listen to me for a while! Captain Emma has no common sense."

Rosie emphasized, while Emma nodded indifferently.

Volume 243: [-]. Search

Emma was used to seeing some castles and even cities of noble blood clans, but rarely went to such remote places.

What surprised her was that the vampires here lived just like the captive human blood slaves she had seen in some nobles.

They have no tall castle, no gorgeous clothes, no attendants, and no fresh blood food.

Exactly like those blood slave settlements.

"Hmph, are you a little surprised? The first time I knew that there were vampires who could eat wild vegetables, I was also shocked!"

"Huh? Wild vegetables? What is that?"

Emma lacks common sense even more than Rosie imagined. After she explained, Emma's expression became complicated:

"I have never heard of vampires who don't suck blood. Those big nobles even have to cultivate their own blood slaves and suck fresh blood every day. Even if they want to taste food, they want carefully cooked meat."

"Yes, where can there be vampires who don't suck blood? How can they grow without sucking blood? But the vampires here are really like this."

Although Rosie showed off her knowledge, she also looked puzzled.

Rosie took Emma around the village, seemingly just taking a walk.

She looked around and suddenly ran to a barbecue stall happily after smelling the smell:
