Chapter 627 24. The Stewart Family
Annan sent Crimson Princess back to her room when she complained "I'm not a real child", and followed the servant to the Skeleton King's alchemy room.
Skeleton King is a guy with a mysophobia - there is no doubt that he always wears a clean cloak, and even his skeleton is polished as smooth as new.
The alchemy room was filled with the smell of burning licorice. Compared with it, Michael felt like he was staying in a pigsty.
The Skeleton King came to the alchemy table, opened a wooden box, and returned the elm leaves he had borrowed to Annan.
"I have gained a lot from this leaf..."
"Then I'll give it to you." Annan said nonchalantly, "So what's the good news?"
Skeleton King Take care of it The message was put back: "This leaf has a weak power that does not belong to our world... It seems to be a beautiful thing that gives people hope. When you touch it, you seem to be able to see a world thousands of meters high. The tree stands on the mountain beside the sea and can sense other leaves... This must be the leaf of the World Tree from another world. "Did you just say that you can sense other leaves?" Annan suddenly noticed. What.
“Yes, I think it should be able to keep the holder in constant contact like our World Tree.”
"...Why don't you give it back to me?"
The Skeleton King smiled and brought the wooden box to Annan.
"I have to get a second piece." Annan said, maybe it can replace the leaves of the World Tree and become a long-distance communication tool.
“I think so too, so I’m going to go to the Strange Zone again.”
“Am I coming with you?”
"There is no reason to let our guests take risks. You can rest here with the princess."
"It's okay, I'll come with you."
If the leaves of the World Tree from another world could replace the Elf King The leaf of the garden's world tree... is worth the risk.
It will become a new specialty after the magic image, and it cannot be copied - not everyone can get the leaves of the world tree from another world.
"When will we set off?" Annan asked.
"Don't be anxious, boy. Let's get ready and leave tomorrow morning."
Annan returned to the tomb first, wondering if it would be bad to knock on the two ladies' doors late at night, and then thought that they were vampires. He knocked on Lucy's door with confidence.
No one answered, Annan knocked on the Crimson Princess' door again, and it was Lucy who opened the door.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess told me that you want to know about the family's past?"
After Annan sat in the tomb, Lucy asked.
"Is it okay?"
The Scarlet Princess was lip-syncing beside her: promise him.
"Since the princess agrees."
The princess's full name, Lena Odris Stewart. Heir to the Stuart family.
The Stuart family, an old vampire family that has been in the Blood Parliament for more than two thousand years. It reached its peak during the period of Lena's mother, Serena Odriss Stewart - she became one of the twelve members of the Blood Parliament and was known as the Scarlet Queen.
She ruled the Blood Parliament for nearly two hundred years, but in the end she withered like the most delicate and fragile flower - two hundred years was just a few sleeps in the vampire's view of time.
This is similar to the Dragon Clan. It's just that a dragon that slept for two hundred years is almost epic, but an elite vampire that slept for two hundred years is still an elite vampire.
The reason for Serena Odriss Stewart's demise is that according to the rumors of the Blood Council, she was attacked by the Skaven clan and the Greenskins, but the people of the Stewart family know that this is not the case. thing.
There are three MPs behind the attack on the Queen.
The Grand Duke of Borodia behind Earl Turner is one of the provocative vampires at today's banquet.
Serena Odrys Stewart fell into a near-eternal sleep due to serious injuries. Dracula and Lucy used operations and were forced to voluntarily give up their rights in exchange for not being divided, and inherited the status of parliamentarians. The Crimson Princess goes into self-imposed exile. Now, three hundred years are about to pass, and the time for the Blood Parliament to adjust its members once every three hundred years is approaching.
In order not to be deprived of her status as a councilor, Princess Crimson hopes to stabilize her status with the help of humans.
After learning the news about Lost City, Crimson Castle asked a vampire to play the role of the princess and sneak into Huadu, using the power of Huadu to protect herself by quietly transforming her dependents.
So Annan arrived at the time when they were most dangerous and vulnerable. After forming an alliance with the Skeleton King, Crimson Castle got a chance to breathe and a ticket to return to the center of power.
"Do I have to go back?"
Annan didn't know the strength of the Blood Parliament. If it corresponds to the Thirteen Supreme Kings and the Thirteen Rat clans... it is a force with several legends.
Here at Crimson Castle... the strongest one might be Annan.
“I don’t care about my status as a member, but I want to go back and wake up my mother.” Princess Crimson said.
"Can only congressmen take her back?" Annan asked.
Lucy replied: "No, but as long as His Highness is still a member of parliament, they will remain wary and unable to take action."
"Can't you go back now?"
"No, the adjustment has been made. It’s begun. If you send the princess into the whirlpool of power, you will only be torn apart by those old guys.”
This is an endless cycle. If you want to return to the parliament, you must have strength, and if you want to have strength, you must keep your status as a member. , if you want to keep your status as a member, you have to return to the parliament...
"Are there any other members of the Stewart family?"
Lucy whispered almost like a chant: "Betrayal, death, surrender...this is the eternal truth."
It means that everyone who is willing to follow the Crimson Princess is here now.
Annan pondered, the simplest and most direct way to solve the problem is to ask the ancestors.
One person can kill several legends casually, and the ancestors of the Thirteen Kings, those old antiques who have lived for thousands of years, have to tremble in front of her... But the ancestors are cursed, making her self-inflicted Spending time doing things for yourself...that's not fair to the ancestors.
The Skeleton King is not enough, so they have to think of other ways.
"Will you help me?" Princess Crimson asked softly.
"Yes, I will help you."
Annan and Lucy, who couldn't think of anything for the time being, said: "I will go to Lost City with Skeleton King tomorrow morning. I asked As soon as I ask for its advice, the princess will leave it to you first."
"I told you that I am not a child!" The scarlet princess raised her head and glared.
"Don't worry, it's safer here than our castle." Lucy and Annan ignored the princess's opinion.
...
The next morning, the servants of the necropolis notified Annan to prepare for departure.
Before departure, Annan asked the servant to go to the kitchen to prepare some food and bring it over.
"What are you preparing these for?" Skeleton King asked curiously.
"I told you about the wooden house in the forest that I met on the road. I will go and deliver some food to her." Annan said, holding up the basket.
The Skeleton King's soul fire flickered and there was no response. Annan asked tentatively: "What's wrong? Is it wrong?"
"No...is it right?"
