Joshua is now in the Radiant King City.
He was too weak to go out with Brent.
Of course, Brandt would never feel comfortable leaving Joshua alone.
The reason why he felt relieved to leave Joshua and come to the Pale Throne alone for revenge was because he had a pair of alchemical bracelets from ancient times. If two people each held one, they could actively teleport to the other's side when the other was in danger.
He stayed with Yang to take care of the previously injured magical creatures. In fact, a big part of the reason was that he wanted to use Yang's channel to meet Sigourney and persuade him to agree to his request.
The injured magical creatures have recovered gradually in the past two days and can take care of each other. In another day or two, they will probably be able to fully recover and leave Yang's manor.
Brent was no longer necessary in the manor, and he was eager to return home, so he discussed with Sigourney and the others and prepared to return to the Brilliant Royal City with the Beauty Squad.
It was late at night, and the tired people scattered and went into the guest rooms arranged by Yang, intending to rest comfortably for a whole night.
When Sigourney and Ash reached the door of the room, they were stopped by Brent who had hurriedly caught up with them.
"Sigourney." Brent called Sigourney's name in a very familiar manner, "Please wait a moment."
Sigourney stopped opening the door and turned to look at him. What's the matter?
Brent walked over quickly, with a bit of hesitation between his eyebrows and eyes: "I have another question, I want to ask you."
Just one question, doesn't look like it would take much time?
Sigourney took back her hand that opened the door and simply asked, "What?"
Brent hesitated, his eyes flickering to Ash's face beside him.
Ash blinked and understood. Did he want to talk to Sigourney alone about something?
But before Ash could even consider avoiding it, Sigourney glanced at him and ordered, "Stay here."
Ash didn't think about anything and stood beside Sigourney with a faint smile.
Brent shrugged. He didn't care whether Ash heard it or not. He hesitated just now because he was worried that there were some things Sigourney didn't want Ash to know. Since Sigourney didn't care about anything now, he had nothing to hide.
So he calmed down and asked seriously, "If Joshua becomes a vampire, is it possible for him to survive?"
Ash was surprised. Joshua...is he a forest elf?
Transform elves into vampires?
He couldn't help but look at Sigourney, and a bloody picture vaguely appeared in his mind - it was the picture of Bart lying in a pool of blood. It was also a forest elf, unable to convince himself who was gradually turning into a vampire to insist on living.
Bart eventually died.
Just like any elf who was transformed into a vampire in the long history, he chose to die.
He suddenly understood why Brent came to Sigourney to ask this question.
Because among the countless elves who destroyed themselves, Signy was the only exception.
Brent wanted to find the possibility and hope of successful transformation from Sigourney.
Sigourney also frowned and looked at Brent sharply: "You want to transform him into a vampire?"
Brent was silent for a long time and then nodded.
"Has his situation become so bad?" Brent actually began to consider this method?
Brent smiled bitterly. "Yes - so, is there any hope for him to survive? How did you... no, how did you manage to hold on until now?"
"Elves and vampires are incompatible." He asked almost anxiously, "In the same body, the two bloodlines repel each other, the two beliefs conflict with each other, and the two instincts fight each other. How did you suppress this pain that forced countless elves to die in agony?"
There was hope in his eyes. "Joshua's spirit is very strong. He has endured countless cruel experiments in the dark cage, but he has persisted and never collapsed. Can Joshua, like you, suppress the pain and survive?"
Sigourney listened silently to his rapid outpouring of words. When she met his hopeful gaze, she very bluntly, coldly and firmly shattered Brandt's hopes: "Elves cannot be transformed into vampires. Elves that are transformed into vampires cannot survive."
He said it with absolute certainty, leaving no room for maneuver.
Brent gritted his teeth: "But you succeeded! You survived! If you can, why did Joshua——"
"Only I can." Sigourney interrupted him, raising her voice in a rare move, emphasizing each word, "Only I can. I'm the only exception."
Is Sigourney's mood a little off?
Ash's heart tightened and he quickly held Sigourney's hand, and found that his fingertips were trembling slightly because of his excitement.
After Ash grabbed her finger, Sigourney paused, exhaled slowly, and her tone relaxed a little: "My... experience is not replicable. Don't apply my special case to Joshua."
"Brandt, give up this stupid idea." His eyes were tired and cold, "If you don't want to lose Joshua."
After giving his final advice, he was in no mood to say anything more. He opened the door and pulled Ash inside.
Ash entered the room. Before the door closed, he saw Brent's distraught look. He thought for a moment and said softly, "Perhaps you should give Mr. Nance a little more trust."
That knowledgeable and wise old man has never disappointed anyone.
…
The next morning, everyone gathered in the dining room again. After breakfast, they planned to set off to Leigu Town to meet up with Yuland and the others.
After the few people met, they found that there were two people in the dining room who looked listless and had big dark circles under their eyes.
One is Brent.
This is easy to understand. After all, when the life of the person you care about is in danger, you would be worried and unable to sleep at night. Isn't that normal?
But the other one is Ash who is always calm and composed?
Immediately, several people's strange eyes focused on Sigourney - who would have thought that a vampire with a cold face could be so fierce? This energy is too strong, look at what she has done to Ash!
Sigourney was in a complicated mood: "..."
Familiar scene.
I'm actually kind of used to it.
In fact, it is not unfair to say that he was the one who made Ash suffer like this.
When he entered the room last night, he tapped Ash's forehead with a cold face and said, "Shut up and don't ask anything," which choked Ash's doubts.
He knew Ash was smart.
Maybe after some time, Ash would be able to guess everything he was hiding without him having to tell him.
This kid's insight is terrifyingly strong.
He had already come to a helpless realization that he couldn't keep the secret from Ash for too long.
It can't be kept.
When you're with Ash, you have to be prepared to have no secrets.
But even so, he still didn't intend to say anything.
He needs time to figure out some issues.
When he figured it out, if Ash hadn't figured it out by then, he would confess to Ash.
So Ash spent the whole night thinking about Sigourney's momentary abnormality in front of Brent. He felt that he had vaguely touched the barrier of truth, but he was always short of the strength to break through it. This feeling of suspension was the most exhausting, making his sleep quality particularly poor, and he woke up with dark circles under his eyes.
Fortunately, they were still riding in a carriage pulled by a flying monster on the way to Leigu Town. He leaned against Sigourney and took a nap. After arriving at the destination, he felt a little better.
They found Yolande and his friends staying at the most expensive hotel in Leigu Town.
Needless to say, this hotel must have been booked by Yolande, who is very particular about everything and has plenty of money.
Following the instructions of the shop owner, they found the leisurely Yolande and his companions in the small garden on the top floor. When they saw Yolande, Yelena and the others, they were half-lying comfortably on the recliners, holding a copy of... well, the Brilliant Daily in their hands, reading it with relish.
Brilliant Daily?
The corners of Meng's lips twitched, and he glanced at Sigourney calmly.
Oh no.
The little devils in front are finished.
The vampire's face darkened.
At this time, a few people who failed to notice the approaching danger were still immersed in the essay section of the Brilliant Daily, and were amused by the love stories about the Scarlet Moon and Mr. Wandering Soul.
Yelena was seeing something interesting and couldn't help slapping the armrests. She was laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe. "Quick, quick, read the third article! What a talent! It actually says that Sigourney changed her gender to a female body and was locked up in a small dark room for several months but fell deeply in love with Ash! Hahahahaha, you really dare to think about it, hahahaha!"
She has changed. She is no longer the girl who once worshipped and revered Scarlet Moon and was determined to become her student.
Quentin quickly found his spot and read ten lines at a glance. When he saw Sigourney was forced to wear a long dress, he couldn't help but laugh "Hahahahahahaha". Halfway through, he seemed to realize that he was laughing. His laughter was stuck, as if someone had strangled him by the neck. He paused and uttered a few vicious and hearty syllables: "Humph! You deserve it!"
Ivan choked and coughed a few times. He quickly took out a bottle of stomach medicine and drank it. Then he said solemnly, "Isn't it not good to write like this? What if His Excellency Scarlet Moon sees it..."
Having said that, he couldn't help but move his eyes to the third essay on the page.
This kind of story is really poisonous.
It makes people want to keep watching.
Yolande half-closed his eyes elegantly to rest. He did not read the Brilliant Daily, because all the content in the daily was approved by him. He had also read more submissions, and the stories published in the daily were all selected by him, which were the most melodramatic and popular stories among the masses.
So haven’t you seen that the sales of Brilliant Daily have been breaking records these days?
"Sigourney won't take the initiative to read the recent issues of the daily newspaper." Yolande was very confident and said slowly, "Besides, the content selected is very subtle. And the story about Sigourney going crazy and raising the human boy Ash as a blood slave and locking him up in a small dark room in the castle for several months was rejected by me."
Yelena was puzzled: "Is this okay?" They were both small dark rooms, and the one with gender change was obviously more excessive. How could it be more subtle than this?
Yolande whispered: "This story of the castle happened in bed from beginning to end."
Yelena blushed silently: "..." Sure enough, the gender-swapped version of the little dark room is more subtle. Her eyes fell on the newspaper. At least in this published story, there was no description below the neck.
"Oh? Have you finished reading the story of the castle?" a curious voice asked beside him.
Yelena also reacted and nodded repeatedly. Yes, otherwise how would Yolande know “from beginning to end”?
She was filled with emotion. Times have changed. The Scarlet Moon, which was far away in the sky and people dared not look directly at it, has become the protagonist of everyone's little yellow mosquito. The people of Ilufu are becoming more and more courageous.
But she did not wait for Yolande's answer.
Only after a sudden silence, Yolande's suddenly guilty and breathless voice was heard: "S-Sigourney?"
"Does it look good?" the voice continued to ask, its tone low and pleasant, without any disturbance.
Yolande's voice was weak, but his tone was elegant and firm: "What's good to see? I didn't see anything."
During this short conversation, the few people who were obsessed with the daily newspaper finally reacted -
Yes, it's Sigourney's voice!
The people lying leisurely on the recliners did not dare to look back.
At this moment, they finally remembered the fear of being dominated by vampires.
For a moment, the situation on the top floor of the hotel changed drastically, everyone felt insecure and looked bleak.
Yes, I want it all!
