  After exchanging some insincere pleasantries with Cardok, Jann immediately turned around and left, ignoring Cardok's invitation for them to stay and enjoy the evening feast. He had had enough of the dwarf's antics, and Cardok was trying to use him again, even fabricating a magical book that may or may not be real... Oh well, even if it was true, Jann could always dig it up after he got Brandon Stone Castle.

  If there were no humans, then Zhan would not mind playing with this gray dwarf official. Unfortunately, now that humans have appeared and are probably coming for him, Zhan has to choose to sacrifice the pawn to save the chariot - after all, it's not his own pawn to begin with. In terms of being generous with other people's things, Zhan has always been very magnanimous.

  However, Jian En's trip this time was not simply for Kadek.

  "Lord of the Castle?"

  Alice, who had been waiting outside, saw Jane come out of the living room and couldn't help but look up at her curiously. But Jane didn't say anything, just made a gesture to her.

  "Things have been taken care of, let's head back."

  "Ah? Okay, okay."

  When Elise heard Zane's words, she was stunned for a moment, then nodded and followed Zane out of the Dwarf Governor's mansion. However, despite this, the girl's heart was still full of doubts, completely unaware of what Zane intended to do. She was originally reading books in the library, but Zane suddenly came over and specifically asked her to accompany him on a trip to Brandon Stone City. As for Zane's request, Elise naturally did not dare to object, although she didn't understand why he didn't look for Enova and Vilna, but Elise still followed him.

  But what made Elise depressed was that she didn't have any use for herself this time, and Zan didn't let her do anything. She just followed him around Brandon Rock Castle. Even when they entered the Governor's Mansion, she was told to wait outside, like a follower. This made Elise feel very depressed in her heart - even with a hint of disappointment.

  As for why I'm disappointed, only heaven knows, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean.

  However, Zan seemed to have no idea about Eris's mood. On the contrary, after taking Eris away from the Governor's mansion, they directly left Brandon Stone Castle and headed towards Blackstone Beacon again. Eris didn't find this strange at all. She knew that behind Blackstone Beacon, there was a secret passage connecting the underground city and Brandon Stone Castle. This passage was extremely hidden, and even Eris herself might not have discovered it if Zan hadn't shown it to her. However, Eris wasn't too surprised about this. The underground city had always been rumored to be a mysterious place that appeared and disappeared at will. Eris even suspected whether the dwarves knew that their city was already completely surrounded by the underground city.

  Alice.

  Just as Elise was lost in thought, she suddenly heard Zane's voice. Hearing this voice, Elise was startled and hastily stopped in her tracks.

  "Yes, is there something? Lord of the castle?"

  As she spoke, Elise secretly lifted her head to peek at Jen's face, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. It was no wonder that since the day she accidentally stumbled upon that strange book without a cover in the library, Elise would often sneakily flip through its pages whenever she had time. She had completely immersed herself in the world of the heroine, indulging in forbidden pleasures and sensations together with her. Sometimes, even in her dreams, Elise would dream about the content of the book. In her dreams, she was the book-loving girl who was lured by the forbidden books, step by step falling into the abyss of pleasure. What made Elise feel most uneasy was that in her dreams, the other main character, the librarian, was still played by Jen.

  This time's dream was not as clear as the previous one in prison, and after waking up, Elisa only had a vague memory of it, like she had just had an ordinary dream. But this made Elisa even more restless, because in that book, the heroine became obsessed with the pleasure she had never imagined before, and eventually lured her own curator into the abyss of forbidden pleasure together. They indulged in the deserted library, using every possible means and action they could think of.

  It was a wildly crazy dream for Elise, in which the words that made her blush in the book became vivid images, mixed with suffocating breaths rushing towards her. Although in reality, she and Zhan En had not even held hands until now, but in Elise's dream, the two people had gone crazy to the point where they had done everything.

  Fortunately, these dreams only left a vague scene after Elise woke up, but even so, it was enough to make Elise blush. If she had clear memories like in the prison, Elise might not have dared to see people.

  It's precisely because of this that the current Elissa, as soon as she hears Jann's voice or senses his gaze, will involuntarily feel her breathing quicken, her heart beat faster, and even her body become slightly limp. And deep within her heart, a few hints of expectation that even Elissa herself can't quite articulate have begun to emerge.

  This time, facing Elise's inquiry, Zhen didn't say a word. Instead, he simply raised his hand to adjust his glasses and then silently stared at the girl in front of him. Facing Zhen's stare, Elise also started to feel uneasy, she lowered her head like a startled rabbit, nervously glancing around.

  "That...that...Lord of the Castle?"

  “……………”

  Zhan En still didn't say a word, but this time he stretched out his right hand and placed it under Elise's chin, forcing her to lift her head and look at him.

  "Huh? Huh huh?!?"

  This sudden scene left Elise completely at a loss, staring blankly at Jane with a dazed expression. But in this moment, Elise's mind was rapidly flashing back to the scenes she had experienced in her dreams and in books.

  "Could it be that the lord of the castle intends to lay hands on me here? In this desolate wilderness, what if someone finds out? And besides, there's dust everywhere... it's easy to get my clothes dirty... I only have this one set of clothes on me... Could it be that the lord of the castle wants me to walk around naked with a collar on? Hmm... this is so embarrassing..."

  The more she thought about it, the more confused Elise felt in her mind, although she seemed to have overlooked something that was most important before... Well, but that wasn't what we needed to focus on anyway, so whatever.

  “————！！”

  Just as Elise was being stared at by Jane and didn't know what to do, a dark red sword suddenly flashed before her eyes!!

  "Get out of here!!"

  Eliot was now completely enraged, his sword flashing as he charged at Jann's back. He had originally intended to see what Jann was made of and find out what had become of his daughter, but this damned fool had actually dared to lay hands on her right in front of him!!! How could he tolerate this?!

  At this moment, Elate's anger was overwhelming, and this sword fully demonstrated his strength. In just one step, the original hundred-meter distance between the two sides was completely eliminated. The previous moment the sword light jumped, the next moment with a thunderous momentum, stabbed towards Zhan En's back!

  It's finally here.

  When he heard Elate's roar, a hint of smile appeared in Zane's eyes. This time, he brought Elyse to see Kadek because the system had previously prompted him that there were members of Black Onyx Castle mixed into Brandon Stone Castle. So Zane deliberately took Elyse to Brandon Stone Castle to show off, and was certain that the people from Black Onyx Castle would not let Elyse go. And in fact, it was just as Zane had expected, the other side not only discovered himself and Elyse but also followed them all the way here. Although Elate thought his stealth could definitely deceive Zane's exploration. Unfortunately, when his feet stepped into the underground castle domain, Zane had already grasped his position and movement clearly.

  BOOM!!

  Just as Elate's long sword was about to pierce Jain, a thunderbolt suddenly appeared out of thin air and struck down at Elate with great force. However, Elate remained calm in the face of this sudden attack. Having sensed that his opponent was a mage, he had already made various preparations. As the thunderbolt approached, Elate held his long sword forward with his right hand, while his left hand rapidly drew lines in the air, accompanied by a low and ominous incantation. The lightning bolt that was originally striking down at Elate suddenly seemed to hit an invisible lightning rod, scattering in all directions from above his head and disappearing into the ground.

  Although Elate's speed was fast, in order to prevent the thunderbolt's attack, his speed still involuntarily slowed down a bit. And just in this pause, Jain had already stretched out his hand to hold onto Elyse's waist and took a step back, gazing at the man who appeared before him with an icy smile. Seeing Elate block his lightning-fast attack, Jain didn't seem particularly surprised, on the contrary, he let out a cold snort. The next moment, a raging flame tongue suddenly appeared out of thin air, transforming into a rolling hot current that charged towards Elate.

  I'm done!

  Elyte, who had barely managed to block the Thunderclap's attack, didn't have time to recast his spell, but he also didn't want to retreat. As the flames approached him, Elyte gritted his teeth and squeezed his left hand, causing the ring on it to shatter with a "pop" sound, transforming into a circle of pale red elemental shield that blocked the flames' further invasion. Meanwhile, Elyte continued to move forward, his long sword imbued with an incredibly powerful aura, piercing through the air and even tearing apart the dense flames, creating a gap in them!

  This series of exchanges all took place in an instant, from Elite's sneak attack to Zhen's release of flames, with absolutely no more than five seconds in between. Even in Eris' eyes, she only saw the flashing lights in front of her, and then the gap in the flames was completely torn open, Elite's figure emerged from within, sharp, the sword blade that had been roasted red by the flames showed no signs of stopping as it stabbed towards Zhen once again!

  Faced with Elate's attack, Zhan En only made one move.

  He clenched his fist and then swung it forward with force.

  Bang!!

  In an instant, the flying Elate was like hitting an invisible wall and flew backwards, falling to the ground. Although he quickly got up with a flip, but at this moment, the face of the vampire count had an expression of surprise and uncertainty. His eyes widened in astonishment, staring at the mysterious man wrapped in a robe in front of him.

  What's going on here?

  Eliot had no idea what happened, logically speaking, his long sword should have pierced the heart of that bastard first. But he only felt a black shadow flashing in front of him, and the next moment, he was heavily blown out, even with his own earl-level strength, he couldn't see how he was hit!

  "Father!!"

  Seeing Elate being knocked to the ground, Eris finally let out a sharp cry. Hearing Eris' shout, Zane raised an eyebrow and then looked at Elate in front of him.

  "Is he your father?"

  No wonder Zhan En had such a question, the Elate in front of him looked like he was only in his thirties, with a sharp and capable, elegant and refined appearance. Although the expensive-looking evening dress was stained from falling to the ground earlier, it didn't diminish Elate's demeanor at all. Judging by their outward appearances, this Elate didn't look like Elise's father at all, but then again, he was a half-vampire... ...such things were meaningless anyway. Fortunately, being a half-vampire meant that after reaching adulthood, there would still be some growth. If it were a pure-blooded vampire instead, perhaps one could see the scene of an old man with white whiskers respectfully addressing a little loli as "mother".

  "That's right, I am her father!"

  At this moment, Elate's face was also gloomy, staring fiercely at Zhan En.

  "I don't care who you are, let go of my daughter at once! Otherwise, you will suffer the wrath of Black Onyx City's Thunder!!"

  "Thunderbolt's Wrath?"

  Upon hearing this, Zhan En chuckled. However, Ylisse's face turned pale in an instant. Illyas didn't know Zhan En's identity, but did Ylisse not know either? Thinking of this, Ylisse hastily opened her mouth to explain Zhan En's true identity to Illyas.

  At this moment, Elyte's face was pale, his right hand gripping the long sword tightly, and the veins on his hand were bulging. Looking at him, he seemed to want to tear Zhan En into pieces!

  "Your daughter?"

  But facing Elate's gaze that was almost murderous, Zhan only smiled coldly, stretched out his hand to adjust his glasses, and then said a sentence that could make all the fathers in the world go crazy.

  "Sorry... She's already my woman."
