Yelena and Ivan were waiting for Ash at the door.
Seeing Ash and Quentin coming out one after another, Yelena smiled and said, "You still have a way."
Ash was helpless, what method did he use?
It was also difficult for him to understand what Quentin was thinking.
"Let's go, it's almost time for lunch."
"Hey, wait." Yelena called him, "There's another one!"
"A what?" Ash asked puzzledly.
"There is another elf." Ivan pointed to the next room.
Ash froze, his eyes fixed on the door next door.
Hanging on it is a metal doorplate with the name and species of the magical creature in the room written on it.
At this moment, it clearly reads:
"Moonlight Fairy, Jane Fairbairns".
Yelena's voice rang in his ears at the same time: "There is also Jane Fairbairns. Ash, do you remember him? In the months when you were away, the association finished interrogating him and he was sent here. As agreed before, he is given to you. In theory, we captured eight magical creatures in that attack, and we should give you some more spoils, but they seem to be involved in some secrets of the Camarilla, and the association has not released them yet..."
Yelena said suspiciously, "It's really strange. Jian was the leader of that attack and was said to be a high-ranking member of the Secret Alliance, but he doesn't know as much about the Secret Alliance as his subordinates. He was the only one who was judged by the association to have no intelligence value and was sent back to us."
simple?
Jane the Fake Scarlet?
Is it that moonlight elf on the train, full of hostility and without any emotions?
Ash thought about it and felt a headache.
It feels much more troublesome than Quentin.
Quentin couldn't help but murmured in shock: "Jane? Is that Jane?!"
He couldn't believe it. Compared to himself who was on the edge of the secret alliance, this person was a high-ranking member of the secret alliance, but he was also captured by humans? And he was living next door to him?
Assigned to Ash means... Jane was captured by Ash?
Is this kid so powerful?
Impossible?
He must have used some dirty tricks again!
Humph, human!
He cursed and despised in his heart, but his eyes were fixed on the door. He watched Ash push open the door, and saw a handsome moonlight elf sitting upright on a straw mat in the room decorated with greenery, raising his smoky gray eyes and looking at them calmly.
Those eyes were devoid of all emotion and showed no concern for anything. They were like two pieces of inorganic glass and were particularly creepy.
Yelena just said that it was strange that Jane, as a high-ranking member of the Camarilla, didn't know any secret information about the Camarilla. But Ash didn't think it was strange.
Just look at these eyes.
Stifling all emotions, with only the sole goal of survival in mind, acting like a machine. How could such a person possibly pay attention to those twists and turns and intrigues?
Ash had once heard Lord Nance comment on Jane when they were chatting.
Lord Nance said that the Pseudo-Scarlet was a sharp knife to the Camarilla. This knife was uncontrollable and had its own will, which was to hate and kill humans. It had roughly the same direction as the Camarilla, so it became the knife of the Camarilla.
Jane's past must have been cruel and dark, which turned him from an elf who loved life into a pseudo-scarlet who was full of violence and excessive killing, and even his own people avoided him.
But Ash couldn't sympathize with him. Nor could he feel any favor towards him.
When I see him, I will think of the scene of the sunlight shining through on the train, and Sigourney's arm burned to a bloody mess by the light.
Whatever the reason, the fact that this man had hurt Sigourney made it impossible for Ash to accept him calmly like he did with Quentin.
"Brother Ivan, I only need Quentin as my bodyguard." Ash turned his eyes away, no longer looking at the cold and unpopular elf in the room, "You can make a contract with him. I really don't need it. I am always with Sigourney, and his attitude towards Sigourney..."
He didn't want Sigourney to be stared at by such a pair of vicious eyes all the time.
Quentin: “…” How could someone choose him instead of the fake Scarlet One?
How could he actually defeat the Fake Scarlet One?
He choked and then covered his mouth and started coughing.
Damn it! How come I feel like I won? Where's my dignity?
Ivan disagreed: "Ash, don't be emotional, you need such a guard. Quentin is a vampire like Lady Sigourney, and has the same weaknesses. Think about it, if Jane was with you in the Three-tailed Flower Sea, you and Sigourney would not be forced into such an embarrassing situation when facing the Radiant Array."
Quentin: “…”
Ivan's words made sense. If Ash had not received the Sphere of Everything from Uncle Meng, he would have thought the same. But now that he had the Sphere of Everything, he could freely exchange bodies with Sigourney. Sigourney was now truly without any weaknesses. If she encountered the Radiant Array again, she would not be as embarrassed as last time without Jane.
But how to explain it to Ivan?
The body swap must be kept secret.
When Ash hesitated, Selvi's gorgeous baritone voice emerged: "Ash, I'm here to pass on a message - 'The Pseudo-Scarlet's strength is not bad, it should be easy to use. Don't be stupid and refuse. Put Greed Embrace on him and come up to eat quickly.'"
The emotionally delicate alchemical life imitated someone's tone vividly, casually and indifferently, and it sounded like the focus of the sentence was more on the second half of calling Ash to eat, and the first half of the sentence seemed to be just mentioned in passing.
“…”
Jane Fairbairns, who had remained calm even when her ownership was being discussed in person, suddenly felt an inexplicable rage after hearing Selvie's imitation of the tone, as if she had been angered by such a tone before.
Why does this tone sound familiar?
Where have you heard this before?
——However, after the battle on the train, Sigourney had blurred most of his memories, and he had no recollection that after he was knocked down, a young man with a mismatched soul and body threatened him maliciously, saying that if he didn't open his eyes, he would be stripped naked and hung on the train.
But Jane knew that his memory at that time was incomplete, because no matter how hard he tried to recall, he could not figure out how he failed. He was defeated and captured in a daze.
He stared at Ash steadily, and he also felt that Ash's face was very familiar.
Just as Ash disliked him, he also disliked Ash.
Seeing Ash's face, he couldn't help but feel irritated and angry deep down in his heart - just like when he heard the tone that Selvi had just imitated, he suddenly felt extremely angry.
Why this knee-jerk reaction?
Could it be that this young man, who was only a mid-level wizard, played an important role in the battle that day? Even after he lost that memory, he still had a deep impression of him?
It should be important.
Jane lowered her eyes. Otherwise, why would she be assigned to this young man as material?
On the other side, with Sigourney's words, Ash stepped into the room covered with vines no matter how reluctant he was, and put the Greedy Embrace on Jane, who was as cold as a sculpture.
Jane didn't resist or even say a word.
When he was captured by humans, he realized his fate.
Being studied, controlled, and kept.
so……
He must escape!
