Chapter 743 140. Heading to the Blood Parliament
Annan does not mind Alma rejecting him, they will think of him when the Morel family is retreating.
It is no secret that the Sturrett family declined as the Scarlet Queen fell into slumber, so the Morel family took a fancy to their potential... As long as the Scarlet Queen revives, the Sturrett family will return to glory.
And Annan, who has a way to awaken the Scarlet Queen, is the key.
Alma represents the Morel family, and the Crimson Princess represents the Stuart family, and they agree on the details of the alliance.
Annan hoped that the Morel family would announce their alliance and protect them during their upcoming trip to the Blood Parliament.
The Crimson Princess’s journey home will inevitably be obstructed by Grand Duke Borodia in every possible way.
Alma did not refuse, but could only send a count to protect them.
The Crimson Princess stopped bargaining. They could not let the only prince of the Morel family follow them. In response, the Crimson Princess promised that after awakening her mother, she would come to the Serens Mountains to help fight against the Skaven.
Then according to the testimony of the vampire ancestor, they formed a blood pact with effectiveness, which is stronger than the devil's contract.
Annan thought to himself, it's not that Belludonna is not given a chance to advance, it's that they don't need you.
"Grandpa Annan, when are you going to set off?" Alma asked.
“We can leave tonight if we get the magic stone.”
Annan is a human being, they can definitely take Princess Crimson on his way at night, and he can take Princess Crimson on his way during the day.
Alma looked at Williams. The understanding young prince briefly left the council chamber, and came back with the tray containing the magic stone - without touching it with his hands.
"Please be careful of the magic stone..." Alma reminded Annan instead.
Annan took the Blood Stone in surprise, not expecting them to hand over their ancestors so quickly...
Is there any hidden secret?
The Crimson Princess who picked up the Blood Stone suddenly wrinkled her cheeks.
“What’s wrong?”
"It scolded so unpleasantly..."
"Swear it back."
"I...I won't..."
"It's okay, there is one in my territory. The bard, he can talk dirty words all night long, I will let him hold it for a while..."
Annan was not sure whether Alma's happy handing over of the Blood Stone meant that they should leave quickly, but anyway, The affairs of the Morel family have been successfully completed, and there are centurions on the battlefield as troublemakers. There is no need for them to stay any longer.
The count sent by Alma to protect them is named Pedro, a calm vampire who is 1,700 years old - whether a vampire or an elf, people always lose the concept of life span.
There are still three hours until dawn, which is just enough time for them to leave the range of the mountains.
Before departure, Annan specially came to the cemetery to say goodbye to the tombkeeper.
"Miss Euroda, are you going to leave us forever again..." the old vampire said sadly.
"I will be back, and then I will wake Lydia."
Annan assured, and then he raised his head and said to Alma: "The tomb of Drizzt Morel is the secret passage leading to the abandoned garden. There is also a crack there that leads to the canyon deep in the mountains... Beware of the Skaven coming from the crack. Come here, or use the gap to catch the Rat Man off guard."
"I understand," Alma said respectfully.
Count Pedro transformed into a giant bat and asked Annan and the Crimson Princess to sit on its back and merge into the darkness before dawn.
"Father, is he really the reincarnation of his ancestor's lover?" Williams said, looking at the night sky.
“Does it matter?”
Williams looked at his father in surprise.
“He has helped us accomplish what we want and can also bring us benefits, so that’s who he is.” Alma tilted her head and said to the old butler: “Find Drizzt Morel’s tomb. "Then Ancestor Victor..."
"Child, do you know why Victor Morel is not in the place of rest?"
"I don't know..."
But Williams realized something when his father revealed the full name of Victor's ancestor.
"Victor Morel...the sinner of the family..."
Williams learned another family secret...roughly when Lydia's ancestor was sleeping Hundreds of years later, Victor Morel suddenly emerged. In order to become stronger, he did whatever it took to kill other ancient families and attack human cities wantonly, so much so that the Morel family had to personally participate in capturing Victor Morel. And suffered heavy losses.
In the end, they did not catch Victor Morel, but Victor Morel never appeared again. Everyone agreed that he was dead, and the storm disappeared.
So even if Annan didn't use the "demon stone" as an excuse, Alma would not hesitate to hand over Victor Morel to him.
"The best thing for us to do is not to let anyone know about Victor Morel's existence..."
"I see..."
Alma looks Speaking to Williams: "My child, when the truth no longer matters to you, you will become the patriarch of the family..."
...
"You actually did it Arrived! ”
The Crimson Princess sitting next to Annan stared at him happily.
Annan looked back with a smile: "It's not me, it's us."
"Annan..."
The Scarlet Princess gradually immersed herself in those black eyes... ...Then Annan suddenly covered her neck and woke her up.
“Hmph!”
Princess Crimson decided to ignore him for three hours.
Three hours later, a flash of white rose in the distant east.
Count Pedro, who had flown out of the Serens Mountains, landed on the ground, preparing to sleep.
In order not to attract attention, Annan opened the portal and let them go to Liberty City to rest.
Doing this is like leading Ilimoyas into the treasure house of Liberty City... But fortunately, the Crimson Princess and the others are still worthy of trust.
As soon as Count Pedro stepped in, Princess Crimson took the opportunity to whisper: "I have absorbed a lot of power from the Blood Stone before. Will this affect..."
"I don't know...but even if She doesn’t have much power, should she be able to recover a little bit from the Crimson Queen?”
The Crimson Princess had just jumped through the portal when Evelin suddenly squeezed over.
"What...what...thing..." Annan said helplessly.
"New joke." Evelin handed the paper and pen to Annan and looked at him expectantly.
"I can't think of it."
"This, you should be able to get some inspiration after reading this." Evelin gave him another copy of "The Glory of Rickaner".
Annan had no choice but to take a look, and what he saw at first sight: The first magical video of the Kingdom of Ruikan was screened, in which the king himself played the role of the king, and received rave reviews.
Annan had an idea, gave the paper and pen to Evelin, and said:
"A minister reported to King Ruikan'er: "The New King's Capital Grand Theater screened the first movie Magic image, every time you appear on stage, the audience applauds enthusiastically. "King Rekaner was very happy after hearing this. He sneaked out of the palace and bought a ticket to go to the Grand Theater. The magic image was playing. He was fascinated by it for a moment and forgot to applaud. At this time, someone next to him pushed him and he was nervous. He asked: "Why don't you applaud? Don't want to die? ”
