Ash sat on the magic carpet, calling up a map in his mind, outlining their current route, and asked Sigourney in confusion: "Didn't we capture Jane? If he goes back to the Camarilla, won't people suspect him?"
Could the intelligence obtained in this way be false? For example, could the secret alliance deliberately use false information to deceive Jane?
"Won't captured magical creatures escape?" Sigourney replied casually, "Aren't there a few magical creatures escaping from the association every year?" He paused, "Isn't Quentin an example? Jane is much stronger than Quentin."
Ash pointed out, "But Jane still has the Greedy Embrace around her neck, right?"
It clearly announced that Jane already had a wizard master.
Sigourney raised her eyebrows. "Why do you think we would let Jane continue to wear that sensitive thing after we arranged for him to return to the Camarilla?"
Ash groaned, and was about to say that as Jane's master, he didn't even notice Greedy's Embrace being taken off, when he heard Sigourney lazily reply, "Greedy's Embrace doesn't have to be worn around the neck. Make a small one and wear it in a hidden place on the body. Who would be able to find it?"
He frowned in disdain. "Wearing the Embrace of Greed around the neck is an arrogant and stupid way for human wizards to demonstrate their absolute power and belittle the status of magical creatures."
Ash, who has a vampire wearing the Embrace of Greed around his neck: "..." He, he doesn't even know...
Sigourney glanced at him, her long eyelashes hiding the smile in her eyes, but her voice was flat: "The most important thing is that Jane is a fake Scarlet One, and this title is a pass for unimpeded travel in the Camarilla."
Ash tilted his head, "Hmm?"
"He is very powerful. He is a very useful and sharp knife to the top leaders of the Camarilla. The former owner is reluctant to give him up." Sigourney said, "And... no one would believe that he is willing to cooperate with humans."
He looked at Ash who seemed to be thinking about something, and said softly, "Compared to Quentin, the one who hates humans the most is Jane."
It was Jane Fairbairns, whose tribesmen were all killed or captured by humans, and who had lost her hometown and homeland forever.
The reason he was able to cooperate with them this time was only because his most direct enemy appeared before him, not because he was willing to reach a reconciliation with humans.
"But..." Sigourney changed the subject, with a flash of doubt in her eyes, "They did get the news a little faster."
He and Nance estimated that it would take at least four or five days to find out the secret organization. Unexpectedly, they got the information in just one or two days.
Yolande just relayed what they had said, and Meng had only one explanation for how they achieved their goal so quickly—"We were lucky."
Luck...
Sigourney narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to ruffle Ash's slightly long hair. It was indeed luck. If it really took Meng and Jian four or five days to get the news, the ceremony in the Swamp of the Dead would have ended long ago.
Ash, who was suddenly rubbed on the head, said: "?"
Sigourney let go of her hand and said nonchalantly, "Can we tie it up now?"
Ash touched his hair which had already touched his neck with his backhand, thought for a moment, and hesitated: "We have to wait a little longer, right?"
He subconsciously glanced at Sigourney's long silver hair tied behind her, which flowed like moonlight, and his eyes revealed obvious fondness.
Signe threw him a light blue hair ribbon with protective inscriptions woven into it and said nonchalantly, "Take it first. Use it when you can."
Ash's eyes lit up, and he took the ribbon, looking down at it in his hand, and liked it very much: "Sigourney made it!"
Sigourney: "..." He was almost numb to Ash's ability to judge his work without any basis.
Ash did not put the ribbon into the space bracelet, but carefully wrapped it around his wrist several times and tied a beautiful knot.
Sigourney: “…”
My heart seemed to be hit gently again.
Tsk, Ash Elwyn.
The magic carpet was very fast, and it carried them to the entrance of the Undead Swamp at lightning speed.
Before entering, Sigourney put away the magic carpet, stood in front of Ash, raised her hand to press the back of Ash's neck, and pushed the man, who was gradually losing his youthfulness, towards her.
His eyes were serious: "Ash, I need..."
Before he could finish, Ash tilted his head, revealing one side of his fair neck. He certainly knew what Sigourney needed most before she faced a fierce battle—she had to keep her strength at the peak.
In stark contrast to his crisp movements was his embarrassed tone: "I didn't even get to take a shower in Mogo's cabin last night."
Sigourney: “…”
Sigourney bit down expressionlessly.
After biting, lick the wound.
“It tastes good.” Final comment.
I don't know whether it is commenting on the taste of the blood or the boy's tight, healthy skin.
Ash, who was dizzy from the overwhelming pleasure, became even more flushed when he heard Sigourney's hoarse voice. He replied in a daze, "Well, that's good."
Sigourney tilted her head slightly, and couldn't help but quietly raised the corners of her lips.
They didn't delay too long. After Ash recovered a little, they walked straight into the Swamp of the Dead.
The Undead Swamp is filled with fog all year round. The fog is not ordinary water vapor, but an extremely strong breath of death. It aggressively expels all elements and only leaves unnatural dark elements, also commonly known as death elements.
When ordinary elemental wizards step into this place, it is as if their breath is taken away. They feel suffocated, restrained and oppressed mentally.
Astrologers who understand the rules of the stars and wizards of the three auxiliary systems of alchemy, inscription, and potion can only barely display their strength here.
Only wizards of the undead order can thrive in the swamp of the undead like fish in water and tigers with wings.
When Sigourney entered, she felt extremely comfortable and happy.
Although Ash is an astrologer, we must not forget that his talent is a rare all-round talent, because he had planned to enter an even more terrifying abyss to explore the ruins of Dailan. When he constructed the spell model in the spiritual world, he had already constructed several undead spells and holy light spells in a targeted manner, so he is extremely adaptable here.
The land inside the swamp is eroded by the breath of death. It will devour all the living flesh and souls standing on it. Only the undead race can walk steadily on it.
For example, skeletons, death knights, and Sigourney.
And in the fog above the land, there are countless undead spirits floating around, from low-level to high-level, making it hard to guard against them.
The only thing to be thankful for is that there are no Undead Lords in the Undead Swamp. There used to be some, but because they were too dangerous, the Wizard Association sent troops to surround and suppress them.
Sigourney then took out a magic flying carpet that could conceal them, and she and Ash sat on it, to prevent the undead race living here from smelling Ash's presence and rioting and attacking, thus wasting time.
Then, following the direction Meng had told them and under Ash's guidance, they flew left and right towards the depths of the Swamp of the Dead.
Compared to the time in the Crystal Forest, Ash is now a mid-level wizard, and has followed Nance on the path of an orthodox astrologer.
Therefore, in Sigourney's opinion, Ash's progress is extremely obvious.
He no longer relied on his innate perception, but on this basis, he made the most of his talents and further amplified them through magic.
The boy who used to only say "there is danger ahead" can now calmly and calmly present the danger ahead to him.
It was as if there was a pair of eyes that could see through the fog, suspended high in the air, overlooking the overall situation, and taking in all the surveillance and guarding in the fog.
Ash then displayed what these eyes saw before him through simple water magic.
——“Space prophecy” that only high-level astrologers can do, can Ash do it now?
Space prophecy is to use astrology to "see" what is happening in distant places. If it is more advanced, even people and things in different planes of space can be "seen".
"When did you learn it?" Sigourney asked in the spiritual world.
Ash spared a bit of his attention and answered, "Recently, the teacher has helped me a lot."
Sigourney did not ask any further questions.
Didn’t you already know that this guy was… uh, a young man favored by the stars?
Now that the boy is almost grown up, Xingchen still favors him as always.
Under Ash's cheating guidance, they flew non-stop for almost a day and a night before approaching the base of the mysterious organization that Meng mentioned.
It was a group of low towers, and from a distance it looked like a stone forest formed by wind and sand erosion in the desert. But both Sigourney and Ash could imagine that there must be a wider underground space under the towers.
Ash's voice was a little hoarse due to fatigue: "Here we are." He skillfully took out a bottle of energy potion and planned to drink it like before to keep his mind clear.
Sigourney reached out and stopped him.
"Sigourney?"
"You've brought me here, so leave the rest to me, okay?" Sigourney touched Ash's eyes with her fingertips.
"I……"
"You should take a rest for a while." The tone left no room for rejection.
Without waiting for Ash to say anything, Sigourney put away the magic carpet, picked up Ash and threw him on her back as they landed.
Relying on his body's memory of the Crystal Forest, Ash's hands and legs had tightly entangled Sigourney before his mind could react.
Ash lay on Sigourney's back, blinked, and after a while, raised a faint smile: "Yeah."
"Enter that tower." He raised his hand and pointed to one of the towers, then closed his eyes without any worry at all.
Sigourney weighed the light weight on her back, narrowed her eyes slightly, and sneaked towards the towers silently.
Because of its extremely fast speed, its figure is looming and flashing, and it looks extremely ghostly.
The strict guards in the towers were completely unaware of him, and the solid defensive barrier was unable to stop him at all.
If Ash's talent often reminds people of the word cheating, then Sigourney's talent is actually not much inferior.
The talent "withers", and everything visible and invisible that the hands touch will be annihilated and completely destroyed.
Including magic.
He reached the tower Ash pointed out without any hindrance and entered it smoothly.
