Chapter 165

===================

Half a month later, Lian Yun appeared on the streets of the main city again.

She didn't even change the clothes on the wanted poster, and her intention was obvious - I won't hide.

She took off her hat, revealing an oriental face. Her black eyes curved slightly as she smiled at the people on both sides. Her whole body was bathed in the sunlight, even more dazzling than the sun.

She was wearing a cloak and standing in the middle of the widest street in the main city as if nothing had happened. Time seemed to slow down. Passersby were pushed away by the people in black and white robes, but they all looked curiously at the girl in front of them with a faint smile and the blond man behind her.

After the crowd was cleared away, a man in a white robe with a bad face walked out from one end of the street. If Yi Ke was here, he would immediately recognize him. It was Larry, whom he had offended not long ago.

Not only was Larry tricked last time, but he was also scolded by the president of the Magicians Association when he returned and was almost fired.

He gnashed his teeth in hatred.

"You still dare to come? Well, let me show you how I will..."

"Eh? Mr. Larry is still planning to take all the credit like last time?" Another voice suddenly interrupted. It was the black-robed man who appeared from the other direction.

He raised his head, and Lian Yun recognized that he was the man who had blocked them at the auction house with Larry last time.

Although he was sarcastically criticizing Larry, he looked at the two of them with unfriendly eyes. It seemed that he had not been having a good time these days.

Somehow, they were much more cautious this time than before. Even though they were surrounded by their own people, no one took the initiative to attack. They just stood there and looked at the two men.

Lian Yun spread his hands and said, "Since we're here, why don't you treat us to a cup of tea?"

A hint of suspicion flashed across the black-robed man's eyes, but it quickly faded into a sneer. "Of course you should. Please come with me."

"Wait!" Larry suddenly stopped, looking dissatisfied. "How am I going to explain if you take the person away?"

Lian Yun pretended to be surprised: "You haven't even negotiated such a big thing?"

Larry choked.

How does he know what the higher-ups are thinking!

The black-robed man glanced at the two of them and pointed at Lanner: "He comes with me."

Larry was delighted. It was obvious that the black-haired girl in front of him was the mastermind behind the scenes, the most wanted criminal, and she was the one who posted the wanted poster herself.

The man looked extremely dangerous. If he were to take him along, he was afraid that he would cause a lot of trouble.

He couldn't be more satisfied with this arrangement.

However, even though they made such arrangements, for some reason they all looked at the two of them, without saying a word, but it was clear that they were asking for their opinions.

Lian Yun shrugged: "I have no objection."

Lanna also took a step back cooperatively.

Larry and the man in black robe looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes.

God knows why they are so timid when the situation is obviously favorable!

Larry couldn't hold back his temper and waved to his men first, and immediately people surrounded Lian Yun.

With the sound of a sharp sword breaking through the air, the crowd retreated quickly, fearing that they would be hit.

Before Larry could see how he drew his sword, he saw him slowly sheathing it and saying coldly, "Don't touch her."

Larry was stunned, but quickly recovered. He wanted to muster up the courage to mock him for overestimating his abilities, but he heard him say lightly, "Or I'll follow you."

Larry shut up instantly.

Lian Yun gave Lana a look and left with Larry.

Larry chose only small roads, winding and roundabout, as if he was trying to get away from someone.

Lian Yun reminded: "No one is following me."

Larry froze, and he was about to say something, but then he closed his mouth.

Forget it, talking to them will only put you at a disadvantage.

Soon, he brought Lian Yun to an extremely magnificent castle, which was much more luxurious than any central castle in any city Lian Yun had ever seen.

Lian Yun looked around secretly. On the inner wall of the castle, like the former Kuoge City, there was a sword and a scepter carved.

The only family in the main city that is not taking sides is the Hewlett family. If the other families want to gain a foothold, they must take sides.

White and black, the noble families in the city would never build these two at the same time so blatantly.

But it is located in a remote area, surrounded by dense trees, and is deliberately hidden.

It is obviously not the political center of the main city.

At least not the obvious center.

Larry took her into the castle, which was even more magnificent and looked very expensive.

For example, there was a crystal staircase that Lian Yun had never seen before.

The chandeliers are sparkling and exquisite, reflecting the candlelight and scattered in every corner of the castle.

Like a fairy tale.

But reality is never a fairy tale. These golden bricks and jade buildings rely not on fairy godmothers, but on people's flesh and blood.

Larry walked up the stairs with Lian Yun without stopping. It seemed that there was no one guarding the castle. They had not seen anyone dressed as a guard since they entered.

Larry led her to an extra-large door and gestured, "Go in."

Lian Yun raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you going to reveal some relevant information?"

Larry turned and walked away with a gloomy face.

I'm not afraid that she will run away.

Lian Yun knew in his heart that if he was so confident in leaving him here, he must be completely confident.

She couldn't act rashly.

Watching Larry's back disappear at the stairs, Lian Yun finally pushed open the magnificent door.

“…Is anyone there?”

The expected scene of being besieged or interrogated did not occur, and there was only darkness inside the door.

The room was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

There was an occasional breeze, indicating that there was a window in the room, but he didn't know what the curtains were made of. They blended perfectly with the darkness, and Lian Yun couldn't find the window at all.

Lian Yun was silent for a few moments, took two steps back, and decisively turned around and left.

This is obviously not a good place. Only a fool would go in there on his own initiative.

However, this castle was indeed something special. She had just taken two steps when she was sucked from behind by an invisible force, which slowly pulled her into the room.

Lian Yun tried hard to balance his body, but still fell to the ground when he was pulled into the door and the suction disappeared.

Fortunately, I had full defense, so it didn't hurt.

The door closed tightly the moment she landed.

With the help of the dim light around him, Lian Yun supported his body and slowly stood up. The room was still dark and he couldn't find the direction of the door.

But this time, Lian Yun, standing in the house, had a slightly different feeling.

Although she couldn't see anything, she could clearly feel the malicious intent of those around her.

There is more than one place.

You can't see the other person, but the other person can secretly spy on you.

This feeling is really bad.

More importantly, Lanna was not with her.

Lian Yun clenched his fists slightly.

Her original intention of separating from Lanna was to attack from two different forces. Even if they encountered danger, Lanna could escape due to his high fighting power, and she would not be hurt due to her high defense.

But she forgot that there are more ways to hurt people than just physical pain.

Lian Yun quickly took out the molten crystals from his backpack, held two in his hand, and threw some around.

She keenly noticed that the moment the molten crystal fell to the ground, the surrounding malice subsided for a moment and moved away a little.

But soon this feeling came over me again, even more so than before.

Lian Yun took out the crystal and said calmly, "Lanna?"

The latter responded almost at the same moment as receiving the message: "My lord, I am here."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lian Yun's eyes. He didn't expect that Lana would be safe so quickly.

She didn't have time to think: "Where are you?"

"I'm outside a castle... There are reliefs of scepters and swords on the walls, similar to what Quogar City used to look like."

Lian Yun was stunned.

Isn't this where she is?

Lian Yun tried to stay calm, moving towards the door little by little, recalling his position and describing it to Lana on the other side.

"I'll be there right away." Lanna said in a deep voice.

Lian Yun believed that he would find her soon, but she could not wait any longer.

As she moved, she noticed that the eyes fixed on her were also moving, and the distance between them was getting shorter and shorter.

Lian Yun held his breath and concentrated, and finally caught the sound of footsteps in the silence.

...These footsteps were not those of a human. She had definitely heard them before, but she couldn't remember where they were for a moment.

"roar--"

Several roars from different directions suddenly rose from a distance and jumped towards Lian Yun. Lian Yun closed his eyes tightly, supported himself on the floor with his hands, and lowered his head as if he had accepted his fate.

However, in the next second, Lian Yun supported himself on the ground and leaped up, rushing towards the darkness!

“Squeak—”

The bet was right!

These things, which had been keeping their distance from her just now, became nervous as she moved toward the door and began to move closer.

The closer she got to the direction of escape, the more they couldn't hold back.

The door was kicked open, and the moment Lian Yun came into contact with the light, she saw a hand with a shallow scar reaching out to her, grabbing her wrist and pulling her out of the room completely.

Lanna stepped back quickly until his back was against the wall.

Lian Yun leaned in his arms, slowly adapted to the light, and saw what was inside the door.

“…Is it the Weeping Beast!?”

"How could it be them?" Lian Yun murmured.

In her and other people's impressions, weeping beasts are always gentle and loyal. Even if they are exploited by humans, they will not bear grudges against all humans.

This is a gentle species.

But Lian Yun saw them staring hungrily from inside the dark door, their mouths wide open to reveal their sharp fangs, their eyes bloodshot and drooling as they stared at the people outside.

It was like a ferocious beast that had escaped from hell, slaughtering every life it saw indiscriminately.

They stepped out of the darkness with one hoof, seemed to be distracted for a moment, and quickly retracted it, shook their heads, stared at the two people, and slowly retreated back into the darkness.

"Is this true?" Lian Yun asked this question after a long silence. She even preferred to suspect that it was her own hallucination.

Lanna didn't bring the little frogs, so it was impossible to tell whether they were under control.

Lian Yun didn't want to come to a conclusion. She stopped looking inside the door and grabbed Lanna's wrist with her backhand: "This castle is too strange. The most important thing is to get out of here."

The two walked downstairs without saying a word, but slowed down at the stairs.

All the rooms were locked except this one, which was suddenly open. They had not seen it open when they passed by before.

It seems like a reward after passing the level, inviting the brave to enter.

The room was lined with several bookshelves, with candles burning at either end, dimly lighting the room.

Lian Yun paused for a moment, grabbed Lana's wrist and continued walking.

"Don't you want to take a look? Maybe this is the only thing you can see before you die."

A voice suddenly rang out in the castle. It was loud but full of malice, like coaxing someone into eating a poisoned apple, but the tone was not at all disguised.

Lian Yun ignored him and went straight down the stairs, but saw two figures suddenly appear in the middle of the first floor.

One of them was covered with a huge cloak, with no exposed part of his body.

The other one knelt before him devoutly, with his hands clasped together, looking fascinated.

Lian Yun seemed to be nailed to the spot, staring at the face of the kneeling man in disbelief.

"...Mogo?"

Seeing Lian Yun's surprise, the man laughed out loud as if he had seen something funny: "Have you changed your mind now?"

Lian Yun paused, looking at the man strangely: "...A villain as talkative as you wouldn't survive a single episode in our place."
