Nesser stared at Maggie and the old man with his big, innocent eyes. After they finished talking, he carefully tugged at Maggie's sleeve.
"Sister, can you keep me company?"
His tone was so aggrieved that Maggie felt a little guilty.
She had promised to come and keep him company today, but instead she took the opportunity to obtain the 'Blood of the Night'.
"Okay, I'll stay with you."
Maggie lowered her head and stroked Nesser's fluffy hair, her tone gentle and affectionate.
【I'm so sorry, Nesser, I've been so busy lately and haven't had time to see you. My sister almost died.】
She looked at Nesser and silently complained to herself.
The atmosphere between the human and the elf was so harmonious that no one else could interfere. Seeing this, the old man sighed again, shook his head, and said to Maggie.
"I will send someone to deliver 'Blood of the Night' to Her Highness later."
Maggie nodded in agreement.
"Thank you for your help."
The old man turned and left, his back view appearing somewhat lonely.
"Will my sister also encounter danger after returning to the temple?"
Nesser looked dejected, as pitiful as if he had been caught in the rain.
Unexpectedly, Nesser would ask such a question. Maggie was taken aback at first, then considered it for a moment before speaking softly to him.
"Hmm... There are a lot of bad people. Sister, you have to work hard to protect yourself and protect Nesser."
Maggie wouldn't lie to Nesser, but she also couldn't tell him the whole truth; she could only use euphemisms.
"Nesser will also try his best to protect his sister."
Nesser, who had been somewhat saddened, nodded vigorously upon hearing Maggie's words, and the gray elf began to sparkle once more.
"good."
Maggie's eyes crinkled into a smile, and her previously suppressed emotions were largely healed by Nesser.
She didn't want Nesser to feel pressured because of this; these were originally her own troubles. However, hearing Nesser say this still moved her inexplicably.
...
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and a red eye moved in the darkness. A man's figure emerged from it, his gaze fixed on the direction of the green tower.
"With Edith exposed, the Duke's plan has failed..."
The man's voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet darkness, his tone unfathomable and devoid of any emotion. No one in the dense, deserted forest heard him.
His blood-red eyes looked toward the garden, and a mocking smile curled up on his pale face.
"Forget it, it's better that this useless piece of trash is dead."
After saying this, the man transformed into a bat and flew towards the green tower.
At that time, in the towering greenery, the old man had already taken the 'Blood of the Night' from room 109, put it into a rhomboid storage container, and handed it to the messenger dove to deliver to the room of the Holy Maiden of Light.
The messenger dove left the green tower under the cover of night, and no one noticed its presence.
At the same time, bats also flew into the green tower.
The man accurately located room 109, transformed from a bat into human form, and was about to step forward to break the magic circle and take away the 'Blood of the Night' when he discovered that the room was already empty.
"?"
The man's expression froze for a moment, his outstretched hand hanging in mid-air.
"The Blood of Night has been taken away? How could that be? Who would want it...?"
His mutterings echoed in the empty room, but unfortunately, no one could answer his questions.
After a while, the man transformed into a bat again and left the green tower, leaving only a faint curse that sounded like 'fuck'.
On the other hand, Maggie thought that the one who would give her the 'Blood of the Night' would be a person, but she never expected it to be a white dove.
Maggie looked at the little white bird pecking at the window with mixed feelings, but still went over and opened the window.
The main reason was that she recognized the diamond-shaped isolator hanging around the white dove's neck, which was used to seal and transport important prohibited items.
"Are the people at Green Tower all so careless? Using white doves to transport such a valuable item?"
Neither 'Blood of the Night' nor the spell formula is so valuable that it should be delivered by a white dove, right?
Although Maggie had her doubts, she still chose to do as the Romans do.
She tied the slip of paper with the spell formula written on it to the white dove's ankle, gently removed the rhomboid isolator, and patted the little white bird's head.
To everyone's surprise, the little white bird rolled its eyes at Maggie in a very human-like way, giving her a "you've offended me, you bumpkin" look before turning around and flying away.
"???"
Maggie was taken aback, her face full of question marks; she hadn't even put away the 'Blood of the Night' yet.
In her lifetime, she was actually looked down upon by a bird?
She stared at the little white dove's departing figure, finally suppressing the urge to use magic to pluck a feather from it.
Although she holds grudges, holding a grudge over a bird shows a really small-minded perspective.
"...Don't get angry, there's no need to argue with a bird."
Maggie patted her chest to suppress the malice in her heart. It wasn't so much anger as just a kind of speechless frustration.
She moved away from the window and carefully placed the rhomboid isolator close to her body. This thing absolutely could not be discovered by Yarlin, otherwise he would definitely make a big deal out of it.
Maggie's original purpose in coming to the Kingdom of Arnold was simply to obtain a Demon Key to break through to the level of a mage and then use Ulysses to obtain the talent of dark element. Everything that happened afterward was out of necessity.
However, having obtained the 'Blood of the Night', she had achieved her last goal in the Kingdom of Arnold, and now she only needed to wait for her return journey.
On the way back to Santa Fe, we can rest for a while, but once we get back, we still have to continue our power struggle with the archbishop and the duke.
As Maggie thought about it, the magic at her fingertips gathered and transformed into inexplicable points of light and lines in the air.
She observed it carefully and then exclaimed in surprise.
"I never imagined that the vampires' lair would be located right in the royal city."
When Maggie killed the queen, she also removed the tracking magic from her body and obtained her route of movement.
As expected, the Queen returned to the vampires' lair last night, but it's unknown what she did or what her purpose was.
"It's not too far from the Green Tower... I never expected the vampires of the Kingdom of Arnold to be so rampant."
Maggie couldn't help but sigh again.
Roy's small body was warm and bright, making it very noticeable in the darkness, but it was only visible to Maggie; no one else could see it.
Unless the elemental spirits are bound by a contract and transformed into magicians, humans will never be able to see them.
"Vampires are terrifying. Legend has it that their progenitor once rivaled our king, possessing unfathomable power."
Roy frowned, his tone indignant.
In the primordial era, the elemental spirits ruled the continent of Coral. Their magic was so abundant that it is unimaginable to humans today. As the progenitor of a race, Ulysses was far superior to other races.
Unfortunately, vampires are not united. They only want to oppress, control, and enslave their own kind. But the lower-class vampires will never be tamed. They will seize every opportunity to rebel, and every vampire even wants to devour their progenitor.
They were destined to never have the opportunity to rule an era or a generation like other races.
"He's been sealed away now; the Elemental King is far more powerful."
Maggie chuckled and comforted Roy.
"Of course!"
Roy's face was full of pride.
After calming Roy down, Maggie looked out the window and murmured softly.
"I wonder what the palace will look like tomorrow."
Besides enjoying listening to gossip, she also loves watching exciting events.
She thwarted the Third Prince's plans and kept her promise to Pansy.
An ambitious person like him wouldn't let such a golden opportunity slip by. Pansy will definitely show up at the crucial moment, and we might see something very interesting tomorrow.
