"This is really... a convenient ability."

Although Jiang Xiao talked about the pressure, he still read the expression of the countess "Praise me quickly".

Of course, this plain and average compliment did not make the countess so happy.

"Sir Kain, can you please go to my castle and have a cup of black tea?" Margaret didn't give up, so she tried hard to invite.

Jiang Xiaotan felt a little alert in his heart.

But since the other party came to surrender, he could not show distrust.

If the other party truly surrenders, he will appear to have no leader style at this time, which is heartbreaking.

Fortunately, in order to prevent any troubles at the ceremony today, he has implemented a secret strategy.

"Then, let me go in as a guest. The rest of the hunters will go to the banquet venue according to the scheduled itinerary."

In this way, if the other party has any trap, at most he will be cheated by himself. With that secret strategy, he can protect himself from danger.

"Evely and I want to go in too!" Lianka said suddenly.

"Yes, we're going in too." Evely pressed the hilt of the sword with her hands, looking very serious.

Recently, she has been very powerful and now fighting with artillery troops under layers of protection, which has almost everyone forgotten the huntress who rushed up as soon as they fight.

But today, the easily accused Evely seemed to be back. Because she always felt that this strange countess seemed familiar.

When Countess Margaret fought and possessed her, she used illusions to change her appearance, so she did not recognize the Countess, but she had always been keen intuition and always felt that the Countess was inexplicably hostile when she looked at her.

When she said she wanted to go in with her, the countess looked at her coldly, and the hostility was no longer concealed.

But the countess quickly looked away, changed into a puppy with his tail, and looked at Jiang Xiaoshou: "Although I originally intended to only invite Lord Kain to 'self', since these two people also want to walk with each other, let's come in together."

Isn’t it just two more rivals in love? The Countess lived for four hundred years and followed Lord Kain for three hundred years, but he had never seen any scene before.

Jiang Xiaotan was actually quite embarrassed. It would be fine if he entered the dragon's and tiger's den alone. If he brought Lianka and Eveli, he might not be able to protect them.

However, since you have agreed, it is suspicious to refuse at this moment. Moreover, Lianka and Evely are good at it. If there is any problem, they can also help.

So, under the leadership of the Countess, the three of them entered the castle.

"Sir Kaiyin, please allow me to report first. Since this 'Crimson Castle' has just been established, some decorations inside have not been fully furnished, so I used some harmless illusions to reproduce the castle's original form. Please forgive me."

"Is it an illusion? As long as it is harmless."

"The illusion cast by myself is naturally harmless, but this castle is constructed by a blood curse stone, which will naturally attract some nearby vengeful spirits. If the willpower is not strong, it may be infringed."

"Is that true?" Jiang Xiaotan agreed lightly while Yun Danfeng constructed a small exorcist array on his hands behind his back.

Linlin, who was walking on the side of the countess, frowned and felt a tingling pain.

She noticed the exorcist array on Lord Kain's hand, but she did not dare to speak out, so she had to turn her head and let her thick-skinned marquis-level brother block her.

Lei Lei also noticed this and said softly: "Sir Kaiyin, that magic array will also cause damage to us. Please allow me to turn on the corresponding magic array defense."

He had talked with Jiang Xiao for many times and knew that some things were said directly, but Master Zhenzu would not be angry.

"Ah, sorry, I didn't consider that you are not resistant to holy magic for the time being, so I'll shut it up." Jiang Xiaoshou said in a little embarrassed.

He pinched off the small exorcist array casually.

Seeing this, Linlin immediately turned around and bowed, saying, "Thank you very much. Please forgive your incompetence and unable to withstand the test of Lord Kain."

"Ah, I'm really not... sorry." Jiang Xiaotan felt that he was rude and had to change the topic to relieve his embarrassment: "Uh, I have seen you several times in the villa before. Are you Leonardo's sister?"

Linlin bowed again: "I am his sister. I have been so rude before. Please forgive me by Lord Kain."

While talking, everyone walked through the long corridor and came to the living room of the castle.

"Sir Kain, please allow me to change my clothes for guests. I will be together for a while." The Countess bowed gracefully, and then left with Linlin.

There were only three guests and Lei Lei left in the living room. Lei Lei pulled the chairs in the living room for the three of them to sit down, and then asked, "Do you three want to use some refreshments?"

"Butter pastry!" Without waiting for the other two to answer, Lian Ka called out directly.

"My sister has made some on the road, but it may not be as sweet as it is specially made." Lei Lei nodded with a smile, then looked at Jiang Xiaotan and Evely: "Where is Lord Kain and Miss Evely?"

The two of them said it was just casual, and Raylei said, "Then I recommend you to taste the black tea baked by the Winged Man on Britta Island. It was bought last time when I returned to Fort Transcy and the taste was very pure."

Then, he summoned the Blood Valkyrie as a waiter and went to the kitchen to get refreshments.

Jiang Xiaotan became interested in what he said, and asked, "Does Fort Transcy now have trade with the Western Continent?"

Lei Lei nodded and said, "Yes, there is only one or two chances a year. The thunderstorm in Storm Bay will weaken. At that time, the advanced warlocks can support a strong lightning defense barrier for the fleet and pass safely, so several ships of cargo from the Western Continent can be delivered to the empire every year."

Apart from the strait controlled by Lomulus, there is also a Storm Bay in the north of the mainland that connects the east and west continents. However, Storm Bay has raging thunderstorms all year round, and it is impossible to pass without protection.

Only according to what Lei Lei said, can you pass the navigation several times in a few days when the thunderstorm subsides, and it is very expensive to have to escort the vampire high-level warlock.

"What if it passes directly from the deep sea?"

"I'm afraid it won't work, it's too dangerous." Lei Lei casually said a few reasons why it cannot be navigated. It was nothing more than the wind direction of the deep sea and shallow sea seas. The currents would make the fleet lose their fleet and the sea monsters rage. The reasons were roughly the same as those of humans. This made Jiang Xiaotan a little depressed. It turned out that the powerful Zhu Ye Empire could not conquer the deep sea.

While the two were talking, the Blood Valkyrie had already received refreshments.

Lei Lei poured rich black tea for the three of them with his own hands, while Lian Ka took the butter cake and ate it without hesitation.

Unlike Evely, who was sitting upright, she was not at all restrained because she became familiar with Lei Lei.

While eating refreshments, her big eyes were also casually looking at the furnishings of the living room.

What attracts the elf girl the most are just a few giant portraits hanging on the walls of the living room.

Lian Ka swallowed a bite of the pancake, then pointed to the giant painting in the center and said, "Mr. Lei Lei, does that countess already get married and have so many children?"

It was a family portrait, with a heroic noble man standing on the left, and a woman with a very similar appearance to Countess Margaret sitting quietly beside them. There were three or four children of different ages beside them.

"It's not me in the painting, it's my mother, and the little baby in the cradle is me."
