Lu Li's freedom was not restricted because the ghoul warlock didn't think he could escape, nor did he think he could get rid of the four ghoul warriors.
A ghoul warlock who has not mastered "magic" is worse than a ghoul commoner.
So Lu Li quickly left the ghoul lair and headed to the southern castle on the grounds of "investigating the new neighbors of the castle."
As he moved away from the ghoul's lair, Lu Li noticed more than once a gaze from the shadows and then away.
It's not just the "lighthouse" that plays a role. Ghouls are like hedgehogs, and the plague toxin is their shelter. Predators who want to hunt often have to pay a greater price than the harvest itself.
When he saw the dark castle standing in the distance, Lu Li suddenly raised his head, which was difficult for a ghoul to lift, and swept away the shadows flying like bats.
When she flew back to the low altitude of the ghouls, the dreamer quietly spread, covering up the ghouls' perception, grabbing Claire and stuffing it into the wizard's skull.
"They just let you back?" Claire began to chirp like a bird, "or did you sneak out?"
"Now the ghoul lair is at my command."
"You can tell, Ghoul Warlock?" Claire found it difficult to evaluate this kind of infiltration investigation, which turned out to be the result of the opponent's leader, "That Ghoul Warlock is a female?"
"I have no idea."
"It seems so."
"Only you?"
"Yes, it's just me. I'm worried about your safety and guessing that you want to deliver a message, so I'm wandering around the castle. Oh, I'm so grateful, little Remi, that your maid master has found you again."
"Keep quiet, I want to take back the dream."
"You think I'm annoyed."
Claire raised her wings to cover the bird's beak.
The invisible dream retreated, and the surrounding ghoul warriors were unaware of it. Nor did they know that there was a baby bird hidden in the skull being held by the ghoul warlock.
Passing through the gardens and empty castle where only weird wanderings were left, Lu Li released his dream again at the Gardener's Cemetery, letting the four ghoul warriors have a long dream. He threw them into the dead forest and then took Claire into the tunnel.
Then, under Claire's entanglement, he told what happened in the lair.
Lu Li even thought that this Claire was the eldest sister in disguise.
"Alienation potion still has this effect?" Claire made a breathless sound, "Why can't I do it?"
The problem should be with this body. The alienation potion and the mimic's body produce some kind of special effect.
"So the problem you are facing now is that the ghoul warlock wants to drag you out as a shield. If it loses, you die for it. If you win, it will still be the lair lord, but you can't win because you are a squib?"
"Um."
"What if you were promoted to the leader of the ghouls?"
"The ghoul warlock may offer me to the ghoul king for study."
"Why not try to stay in shape and strengthen yourself?"
This reminded Lu Li. He grabbed the oil lamp placed in the woodshed, lit it and went into the cellar. Lu Li tried to increase muscle density and bone hardness.
Compared with the growth of bones and flesh much slower, the important thing is that it can indeed be strengthened in this way.
The tendons were squirming, running through and condensing in the festered flesh. The huge itching, which was almost like pain, made Lu Li, who was still very sensitive to everything as a newborn, unbearable. He diverted his attention to talking about how to fight.
"The trick you used against the Ghoul Warrior is ugly, but it's very useful, but only if the opponent is about the same as you, and only if there's only one opponent."
"What if you are better than me?"
"Use your advantages." Claire flapped her wings and flapped Lu Li's skull, "Short means flexible, little Remi, be yourself."
"Be myself?"
"Jumping around the room and treetops!"
"What if there were more."
"Run, my friend. You are just a weak and powerless ghoul and not the King of Remy."
Lu Li changed the topic: The effect of the alienation potion on this body was beyond imagination, and he needed to know the reason.
"Leave it to me to study the alienation potion!" Claire puffed up her chest and flapped her wings.
"What are you going to do?"
"Let mother study it!"
Lu Li stopped talking, because the flesh and blood proliferation made it difficult for him to maintain his rationality. Lu Li ran faster and faster, and Claire had to crawl on top of him.
"We're going to collide!"
At the edge of the oil lamp, gravel flashed away.
Lu Li flashed dozens of meters behind the ruins and continued to run wildly.
…
In the manor wine cellar, Ophelia is burning the filth with lava.
"Faster! Faster!"
Hear Claire's scream from far away.
Ophelia looked up and saw Claire lying on top of a ghoul warlock, shouting "do it again".
"Lu Li?"
Lu Li ignored the noisy Claire and looked up at Ophelia:
"I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"
“How about lava roasted baby pigeon?”
"How many times have I told you that I am an albino crow!"
…
Not everyone likes Lu Li. Pain and fear make it difficult for them to accept the existence of hope, and they are familiar with darkness, which makes light sting. They ridicule Lu Li, who is always glamorous and always has no worries about food and clothing.
What they said is right.
Because Lu Li didn't have to endure that. The convenience of being a businessman meant that he didn't have to eat contaminated, diseased, undercooked weird meat, or be wrapped in several layers of rags and shiver in a cold, dark cave.
Of course, if he didn't find the merchant, Lu Li might be in a different situation.
Like Stranger and Luli?
After the story here is over, you can find the Ever Dreamer to satisfy your curiosity.
While waiting for the food brought by the merchant Anthony, Claire, Ophelia, and Alina gathered around Lu Li to discuss the next arrangements.
Lu Li remained silent until Ophelia looked over:
"It seems you have an idea."
"Just thought of it."
"Say it quickly," Claire urged.
"If I become the leader of the blood plague group, can I let the ghouls block the weirdness in the south?"
The surroundings became quiet, and Claire quickly broke the silence: "Is there a queen among the ghouls?"
"have no idea."
The ghouls in records and dreams are transformed by plague and blood pools, and have no reproductive ability, so the gender of the ghoul is questionable.
Businessman Anthony emerged from the shadows, and Lu Li asked Ophelia to help open the can, but declined the offer of feeding.
Lu Li ate very quickly. Because of the ghoul's body structure, he directly grabbed the can and poured it into his mouth.
After eating a few cans, Lu Li said, "It's time for me to go back."
"Waiting for your good news."
"I'm worried he's attracted to the Ghoul Queen and decides to become a ghoul."
Lu Li's dark eyes fell on Claire: "You might as well worry about being made into a roasted pigeon on volcanic rocks."
"ah--"
Claire screamed hoarsely like a crow: "Am I hallucinating?! Was it Lu Li who was teasing me just now!?"
"It's Lu Li."
"That's bad! He really likes the Ghoul Queen, and he's saying goodbye in this way!"
After the cheerful fun, Claire suddenly stopped Lu Li who was getting into the wine cellar and was about to leave.
"Lu Li..."
"What?"
"Bring them back... at least let their souls rest in peace."
