Chapter 216 -66- The Black Dragon and the Mysterious Mage
"Sebas? He actually started calling me directly. Could it be that he has made some important discoveries?"
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
After thinking about it, she stood up and closed the door of the study room, asking the maid not to disturb her for the time being. Then she sank into consciousness and communicated with the Holy Book of Blood in the ocean of consciousness.
The surrounding scene changed again, and Charlotte once again returned to the spiritual world of the Dark Night Castle.
She summoned the crimson sea of stars that represented the vampires, and pointed her finger at the twinkling star that represented Sebastian. A ray of consciousness passed through the void and was projected on where Sebastian was.
…
This is a dilapidated old castle standing on a coastal cliff.
The tall stone walls have long been dilapidated, but their former glory can still be vaguely discerned.
At this moment, a fierce battle was taking place outside the castle.
Castel soldiers in chainmail hid on the ruined battlements of the castle. They looked at the sky in fear, and their hands holding bows and arrows could not help but tremble.
Above the sky, a ferocious black dragon with a wingspan of over fifteen meters was fighting fiercely with Sebas.
The furious dragon roar and the astonishing power of the dragon hit the hearts of every soldier like a tsunami. Many people were foaming at the mouth and passed out under the terrifying pressure.
The area within a kilometer with the castle as the center was in a mess. The dragon's breath had corroded the forest and the coast into a desert. Terrifying claw marks and sword marks more than ten meters long could be seen everywhere.
Sebas was floating in mid-air, with a floating magic ring condensed behind him, and holding a black flaming sword.
He looked quite embarrassed, but in the end he successfully protected the Castel soldiers in the castle behind him, preventing everyone from being hurt by the black dragon's breath.
Sitting on the back of the black dragon was a black-clothed mage wearing a devil's eye mask. He looked at Sebas condescendingly and said with some surprise:
"As expected of the Crimson Flame Blade, which was once famous in the black land of East Yunet. Even if its spiritual stance is broken, it still has the power to compete with the giant dragon..."
"It's just that no matter how strong your endurance is, how long can you last under the dragon's power? I don't understand. Why would you stand in front of these humans when you can obviously escape unscathed?"
"Or are you really like the legend, giving up your freedom and becoming Castel's loyal dog?"
After hearing what the black-clothed mage said, Sebastian grinned disdainfully.
He gracefully wiped the blood from his mouth that had just been hit hard by the dragon, and then said calmly:
"I have decided to devote my loyalty to Castel, and I will naturally do my job well. But my ambitions and pursuits are beyond the understanding of short-sighted people like you?"
As he spoke, he took a deep look at the black-clothed mage:
"On the other hand, Your Excellency, you are obviously an elf, but you are associated with the Blood Demon Order, which is completely notorious even among blood descendants..."
"Oh no, you are not even an elf anymore. I feel a familiar aura on you. You should be an elf blood descendant of the Ness clan on Luna Island, right?"
"Betraying the elves and betraying your own clan... Are you really not afraid that Luna Island and Ness will join forces to hunt you down?"
After hearing Sebastian's words, the scarlet gaze under the mask of the black mage changed slightly.
He almost subconsciously covered the pointed ears under his mask, and then said angrily:
"Shut up! You loser who has been chased by the pure white witch for half of the continent!"
"Eudosiya! Kill him!"
The mage in black shouted angrily, and the black magic book in his hand flashed red.
The ferocious black dragon roared, waving its dragon wings and rushed towards Sebas.
Looking at the black dragon charging towards him, Sebas smiled slightly.
I saw him giving up his defense, directly raising the flaming sword in his hand, and chanted in a mellow voice:
"Confinement·Death Flame!"
Black flames spread from the sword body and turned into a huge cage, wrapping Sebas and the black dragon together.
"The Dark Knight's Death Lock? Hey...Sebas, it seems that you got a lot of good things while adventuring in the black land of East Unite."
"It's just that if you think you want to imprison Eudocia with an incomplete third-level imprisonment magic, that's really ridiculous."
The black-clothed mage sneered.
However, when he saw Sebastian's half-smiling expression, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.
At the same time, Sebastian's body suddenly bloomed with brilliance, and a powerful aura suddenly rose from him...
Feeling the frightening aura, the black-clothed mage's eyes suddenly changed, full of disbelief:
"You...actually recovered your strength?!"
"No! Eudocia, retreat quickly!"
He shouted, the magic book in his hand flashed, and ordered the swooping black dragon to stop attacking.
Blood-red brilliance bloomed all over the black dragon.
The black dragon let out an angry roar and stopped abruptly.
The black-clothed mage did not hesitate, and immediately took out a scroll from his arms and tore it into pieces.
The bright light bloomed under the black dragon's body, turning into a huge circular magic circle.
The figures of the black dragon and the mage gradually blurred, turning into light and disappearing before Sebas' flame cage closed.
Seeing the magic light gradually dissipating, a trace of regret flashed across Sebastian's face.
"Heh... he ran pretty fast."
He chuckled and slowly descended from the sky.
As soon as he landed on the ground, he staggered slightly and almost fell down.
"Master Sebas!"
Seeing this, the Castel guards in the castle rushed out one after another, and the leader of the guard stretched out his hand to help.
"It's okay, the consumption is a bit high. Please take stock and see how many casualties there were just now."
Sebastian shook his head, stopped the guard captain's support, and then entered the inner hall of the castle alone.
"I need to meditate and take a break. Please don't disturb me for the time being."
He said to everyone.
"yes!"
The guards saluted one after another with a very respectful attitude.
And Sebastian closed the door to the inner hall of the castle with his backhand.
The moment the door closed, crimson mist spread around.
Sebastian's heart moved and he slowly raised his head.
He saw that everything around him had changed. It was no longer a dilapidated castle, but the dark night castle he was familiar with.
Immediately afterwards, Charlotte's clear and melodious voice came from the front:
"Sebas, your mission is unexpectedly exciting."
Sebastian raised his head and saw that the being he was loyal to was still sitting high on the mysterious and majestic Throne of Blood.
But perhaps because both parties are familiar with each other, her form is not the "Lady of the Night", but still the "Lord Earl" he sees every day.
"Master, Sebastian has let you down, failing to keep them here."
Sebastian knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.
"It doesn't matter, they are fast runners and they will have a chance in the future."
Charlotte shook her head and said.
After saying that, she looked at the other person again:
"But don't be so rash in the future and risk your life to imprison the enemy. Even if I accept your call and successfully gain power, it will be too dangerous for you."
"Remember, you are already my dependent. I need you to live and do good things for me, rather than take radical risks."
After hearing Charlotte's words, Sebastian looked moved and bowed his head respectfully:
"Sebas, I understand."
Seeing the other party like this, Charlotte also breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really startled just now. When the projection came over, she directly bumped into the black dragon's face. Fortunately, the opponent retreated in time. If he really rushed over, she would have to forcefully use the power of the True Ancestor's Liberation.
It's no different now than when I was in Boulder City.
She and Sebastian were not far apart at that time, so it would not cost much to use Sebastian's body to project divine power.
And now...Charlotte visually estimated that Sebastian should be on the northeastern border of the earldom, not too close to North Port, and projecting it would consume a lot of divine power.
Not to mention that even though she just took a look at the black dragon and the mage with the help of Sebastian's vision, she could vaguely feel that the other party was not that simple.
Leaving aside the mage, his strength is probably not as strong as Sebastian's, but the black dragon is definitely much more powerful than Sebastian.
I don’t know how Sebas managed to hold on, or maybe... the other party didn’t use all his strength?
"The black dragon just now... has a familiar aura. Is it the giant dragon that once lived in the silver mine?"
Charlotte asked.
"I'm afraid... yes, the dragon's power on its body is similar to that of Quixote, but it is purer than the dragon's power on the Valadet blood descendant. I'm afraid it is the source of the opponent's dragon transformation power."
Sebastian said respectfully.
Charlotte nodded slightly:
"Eudosiya... sounds like a girl's name."
Sebastian nodded:
"It's a relatively common name among giant dragons. As you can see, it should be a female dragon."
Charlotte nodded and asked:
"Tell me, what did you find during this investigation?"
After hearing Charlotte's words, Sebastian's expression was a little strange:
"Master, it's strange to say that when I came here according to your guidance, all the vampires in the castle had already evacuated, leaving only an empty fortress."
"We followed the traces they left and found traces of some blood descendants of the Ness clan in the nearest city, but... they didn't seem to have any intention of getting involved with us."
"Not only that, we even got a list of nobles from nearby cities who were attracted by them from a Ness vampire. The other party showed us goodwill before leaving, and even left a lot of refined mithril...
"
"Master, I suddenly don't understand what the Ness clan is doing."
Charlotte:……
She did know why. Perhaps Duke Yorock's order was not successfully issued, and the vampires on Earl Lachlan's side also received the news and began to retreat in an orderly manner.
I have to say, this Blood Duke of the Ness clan... is really interesting.
