Chapter 142: Did the Elf Princess Make a Mistake?

“What? Moyel, calm down! Leticia? Is it Leticia?”

Hall didn’t react for a moment.

He thought to himself, ‘Leticia is far away in Saint Louis. Why is Moyel calling me?’

‘Am I supposed to fly to Saint Louis to save Leticia now?’

But he really couldn’t not save her.

If he didn’t save Leticia, he might die in a strange way.

“Yes, the young mistress heard that you were in Sunset City yesterday and came here directly by special train…”

“Tell me in detail.”

He subconsciously asked about the seriousness of the problem.

So, while asking Moyel to calm down, he turned his head to look inside the sales office.

To see if Vier had noticed.

Theoretically, the Child family was a major sponsor of Sunset City.

Although Vier, as one of the five princes, did not command the demon army on the border like the other four princes, she held the position of city lord of Sunset City.

She was also mainly responsible for diplomacy on a normal day.

Otherwise, when Frida had acted, it would not have been her who had made contact.

And in Saint Louis, it would not have been Parousia who had contacted Mandosha.

In other words, Vier was the one among the five princes who had no motive to make a move on Leticia.

The other princes wouldn’t be so idle as to do these things.

Coupled with the strict regulations of Sunset City, no race living in the western demon domain would dare to violate the rules set by the vampires.

And Moyel began to slowly narrate what had just happened.

“It’s like this. After I picked up the young mistress from the train, I was planning to go to the ancient castle on the northwestern outskirts.”

“What are you two doing there?”

Hall didn’t understand.

He quickly thought of what was in the ancient castle on the northwestern outskirts.

The venue for Sula’s coming-of-age ceremony today.

“Are you going to attend Princess Sula’s coming-of-age party?”

“Yes, yes, yes, Hall. It’s like this.”

Moyel said in a hurry, “But not long after we left the city, we were attacked.”

“Didn’t the Child family send more professional bodyguards to follow you?”

He thought to himself, ‘What’s with this?’

“There were two level eighty-five assassins who were accompanying us in secret. But after getting off the Holy Train, one of them went to the Child family’s intelligence department to check and assess the current danger level of Sunset City. The other one was indeed following us…”

“But the other party’s means of taking the young mistress relied on a magic barrier. He couldn’t identify it in a short time. By the time he found the opening in the barrier, the other party had already taken the young mistress and fled far away.”

“…”

Hall didn’t know what to say.

Level eighty-five, leaving aside the talent and whether the level cap had been reached.

Among the human race, as long as one didn’t get involved in high power, it was indeed a particularly impressive existence.

If you formed an adventurer team, a large number of people would come to join you, and you could choose from big-breasted healers and pretty girls.

But when Leticia came to Sunset City, the Child family only had two level eighty-five assassins accompanying her in secret.

It should have been enough, but this was Sunset City.

A place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, no less than Saint Louis.

But Saint Louis was the Child family’s main base, and Leticia was a direct descendant, so no one would dare to touch her.

Outside of Sunset City.

He had no time to think about this.

In the game, Leticia was also the type who was often unwilling to waste the family’s resources.

There must be a place where super powerhouses of over level ninety were needed.

Even the Child family had a very small number of such powerhouses.

From a rational point of view, if another race captured Leticia, it would at most be a kidnapping for ransom, for money.

It was unlikely that they would play with their lives against the Child family.

As for the human race, there was absolutely no motive.

Unless they had the secret support of the church, anyone who provoked the Child family among the human race would basically be waiting for economic sanctions, which would cause the people to turn against them.

But now the church was still waiting for the Child family to invest in the new railway project to the East.

Then who was it?

To be able to take Leticia away right under the nose of a level eighty-five assassin.

It meant that the other party probably had a strength of level ninety.

The strength of level ninety was a big leap compared to the levels before ninety.

Unless one was exceptionally talented, only at level ninety could one comprehend the top-tier universal skills of a profession, such as [Super Perception], [Rapid Casting], [Magic Arrow Creates Flowers].

At present, the two level nineties Hall had dealt with.

One was Arjo.

He had used Mandosha’s music box cheat and teamed up with Trick Rider to crush the other party.

The other was Ancestor Demon.

This guy, he had only killed him with the cheat of the Demon God’s power and a mythic-grade weapon.

Although it was an instant kill, the triple cheat of the Demon God’s power, the Starfall Feather, and Christine’s blessing was indeed very exaggerated.

“Could it be…”

Hall suddenly thought of a plot that Sula was very likely to trigger.

When Sula left the elf wonderland for the first time, she would be attacked.

The truth of this attack was not easy to know in the early stages, but if Sula went out to venture, in the mid-to-late stages, it would be found that it was very likely from the forces of the necromancer demon lord of the northwestern demon domain.

In the past, the mastermind behind the people who had captured Sula was Rhys, who had acted on behalf of that [Necro-Demon Lord].

Now Rhys had been killed by him on the seventieth floor of the Demon God’s Labyrinth.

He was wondering who had made a move this time.

Hall felt it was a bit hard to say.

“It’s probably that they mistook Leticia for Sula…”

“What? Your Highness, Hall, what did you say? They mistook the young mistress for Sula?”

Moyel heard Hall’s muttering.

“Nothing. How long has Leticia been missing?”

“Ten minutes.”

“Can you determine the direction of their escape?”

“I can’t.”

“Then I have to find a way. You guys don’t act rashly for now. If the other party is after Leticia, then they will very likely threaten the Child family for money. Don’t worry too much.”

Hall began to give instructions.

It was useless to be anxious.

After Moyel had repeatedly said yes on the other end, he hung up.

To find someone in the western demon domain, he had to rely on the vampires.

So he returned to the sales office from the heavy rain.

And looked at Prince Vier, who was still sitting there.

Waiting for the other party to ask first.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen to big brother just now?”

“Something happened. Do you know Princess Leticia, Vier?”

“Ah, of course I know. The human Child family is also a guest of His Highness the Prince.”

“Leticia came to Sunset City today and was captured by a mysterious person.”

Now the blood-eyed girl’s pupils suddenly constricted.

Her originally relaxed face also changed slightly.

Vier of course knew that Leticia had come to Sunset City, but she really didn’t expect that someone would be so bold as to make a move on the Child family’s people in the vampire’s territory.

“Are they tired of living?”

Almost at the same moment.

A small bat familiar flew in from outside and stopped on Vier’s fair hand.

“As expected. Then I’ll take my leave, brother William. Vier has something to deal with.”

This was the information sent to her by the subordinate she had sent to Leticia.

“Alright, I also have something to deal with.”

“If brother William is in a hurry, you can go to Viscountess Parousia. Princess Leticia is in trouble, and His Highness the Prince will not sit by and watch.”

“Mm, I was just thinking that.”

Soon, Vier left the sales office.

After entering a blind spot in her vision, she almost immediately spread her wings, which were slightly larger compared to Parousia and her body, took to the air, and gave an order.

“Mobilize the elite vampires in the northwestern city district, take the other race search warrant, and go out of the city to look for Princess Leticia. This prince wants to see who is seeking their own death!”

Hall, on the other hand, left the sales office after telling Lov that Leticia was in trouble.

He was not worried about Lov’s safety.

The vampires’ security for their major sponsors was still acceptable.

Then he directly used the magic communication scroll to contact Parousia.

He was preparing to use his blood to enhance her magic sensing ability.

“Where are you?”

“I’m at a banquet, playing with Sula.”

“Where?”

He repeated.

“Why are you so serious? Is something wrong?”

Even an idiot like Parousia could feel that something was not normal.

“Let’s talk when we meet. I’ll be right over.”

“Oh, we’re in the forest near the ancient castle, watching the rain.”

“Alright, wait for me. But you and Sula had better go back to a crowded place.”

“What’s wrong? Does anyone dare to attack the little princess of the elf race? Even if you gave them ten guts.”

Parousia added, “And in front of Viscountess Parousia at that.”

“Hurry up! If something happens, be careful your Prince doesn’t spank you.”

Hall emphasized.

It had been more than ten minutes since he had ended his call with Moyel.

That is to say, it had been close to half an hour since Leticia had been taken away.

Half an hour was not long, but also not short.

If the other party had made ample preparations, they should have started to consider extorting the Child family.

But so far, Moyel had not contacted him.

“Sigh, wait a minute, Hall…”

Soon, there was no sound from the other end.

Now Hall understood.

The situation was probably not much different from what he had expected.

It was indeed that mission of Sula’s.

The other party, when they had gone to capture Sula, might have mistaken Leticia for Sula.

“They have different hair colors, and they can still get it wrong. What a talented villain.”

But after a careful analysis, if the other party had started to capture people, then Sula would be in even more danger.

Twenty minutes later.

Hall ran into Parousia in the heavy rain on the outskirts of Sunset City.

Besides Parousia, there was also a man with long hair who looked to be an elf, by Parousia’s side.

This guy, Hall was also very familiar with.

He was the eldest son of the great noble of the forest elf race, Daniel of the Forest Will.

Daniel’s role in Sula’s route was almost no different from Lenny’s in Himan’s route.

He was a “great good person” who looked like he wanted to NTR the heroine, but in reality, he was just creating opportunities for other heroines to conquer Sula.

However, for the sake of Sula’s safety, once this guy appeared in the game, players would naturally consider getting rid of him first.

And now it was Sula’s coming-of-age ceremony, so it was natural for Daniel to appear.

“William, William! You’re finally here!”

“Where is Sula? Has she been captured?”

“I don’t know. Princess Sula, to ensure my safety, she lured away those who were looking for death and had me come back to seek support. But it can be confirmed that she fled deep into the northern forest. There, as a daughter of nature, she can better deal with those people.”

Parousia said with hatred.

“I see.”

Hall nodded.

However, at this point in the program, Sula’s strength, even as an elf with a starting point higher than most human heroines.

But she should be at most around level eighty.

The elf’s speed growth was very high, and even with an archery start, she had [S-].

But if it was the same group of people who had taken Leticia, with a level ninety, it would surely be very difficult for her to escape.

“And this is?”

Daniel saw that Hall and Parousia were chatting animatedly.

As the eldest son of the [Forest Will] family, he of course couldn’t just sit still.

“He is William, William Russell. This is Young Master Daniel.”

“Mm, let’s hurry up and go.”

Hall gave Daniel a nonchalant glance.

And found that this guy was not in a hurry.

According to the general logic of the game’s plot, Daniel was a person who was eager to show off.

He would even show great disgust at the appearance of a male who would compete with him for merits.

But now, this guy didn’t have a hint of anxiety on his face.

“By the way, since this Young Master Daniel is a noble of the elves, what about the adults who are attending Princess Sula’s coming-of-age ceremony today?”

Hall thought to himself, it couldn’t be that only Parousia and Daniel were going to look for Sula, right?

“The elders have not acted rashly yet. I suggested that they pretend for the time being that Her Highness the princess has not gone missing and continue with the preparations for the evening banquet as normal.”

Daniel said, “Otherwise, if those bastards feel a sense of crisis, they might tear up the ticket on the little princess. It is enough for me and Viscountess Parousia to set off to look for her.”

“A bit of sense, but not much.”

Parousia even agreed with Daniel’s statement.

“Alright then. We will first look in the northern forest. If we still can’t find Princess Sula before evening, we will then ask His Highness the Prince and the adults to come out.”

Hall simply obeyed him.

Mainly because Hall felt that Daniel was suspicious, so he went along with the other party’s thoughts.

At present, Prince Hall had already begun to pay attention to this matter.

It was absolutely impossible for this villain to outplay that Prince.

As long as he and Parousia confirmed Sula’s position, Prince Hall would probably be able to find her in person very soon.

So the three of them quickly went into the northern forest in the rain.

“Lord Yekanda, what on earth should we do with this girl? Her hair and Sula’s are so similar, she’s probably also from some elf royal family.”

“Maybe. Lord Samigina had us take the opportunity to capture Sula and bring her back, probably because he was interested in her elf royal bloodline. Now, if this girl also has elf royal bloodline, it’s not a bad new harvest.”

Fifty kilometers deep in the dense forest on the northwestern outskirts of Sunset City.

The unconscious Leticia was lying in a deep black coffin with a bone pattern on it.

And beside this coffin were a few human men dressed as necromancers, and a silver-haired young man with dark red pupils like dried blood, whose temperament was obviously more dangerous than the few necromancers.

The man’s name was Yekanda.

The mastermind of this operation.

And the one who had supported him in this operation was Samigina, that noble necro-demon lord.

The plan was to take advantage of Sula leaving the elf wonderland for her coming-of-age ceremony to find a way to take her away.

But at a little past three in the afternoon, when they were ambushing on the outskirts of the west city, planning to get close to the ancient castle and look for an opportunity, they had first encountered Hall and Leticia, this master and servant.

The dim vision in the heavy rain was not very good, and the tool for sensing high-level elves had reacted at that time.

They had used a special magic to hide their aura, which was ineffective on high-level vampires or elves at close range.

To be on the safe side, Yekanda had used the crystal ball that Samigina had given them before they left, which was sealed with a special array.

He had directly taken Leticia away in front of Hall and the bodyguard who was secretly protecting her.

But not long after taking her away, he had confirmed.

Although she looked very much like Sula, she was definitely not Sula with a disguise or changed hair color.

They were not the same person.

Knowing that they had caught the wrong person, they had immediately turned back to the vicinity of the ancient castle.

And had happened to run into Sula and Parousia, who had already been some distance from the ancient castle and were playing in the forest.

Because they had used up the effect of the crystal ball array that Samigina had given them, they could not replicate the scene of taking Leticia away.

But Yekanda’s strength was far superior to the two of them, so he had forced Sula and Parousia to flee in opposite directions.

They had chased the agile Sula, who was like a little deer, all the way here.

At this moment, Sula, with the help of the elf royal family’s talent [Nature’s Blessing], had completely hidden her aura in the depths of the dense forest.

But Yekanda also understood.

Sula must be hiding somewhere and not moving, or moving very slowly.

If Sula started to move at high speed, with his keen perception as a former vampire, he could still lock onto the other party.

That’s right, Yekanda was once a vampire, so although he looked young, he was actually several hundred years old.

Now he simply had his necromancer subordinates form an array on the spot, injecting necromancy and the power of the dead into the ground, preparing to destroy the surrounding earth veins and make the [Nature’s Blessing] ineffective.

And even cause a backlash on Sula.

At that time, catching the other party would be as easy as turning over his hand.

So he began to discuss with his deputy how to deal with the unexpected harvest—Leticia.

“Lord Yekanda, if this girl is really from some elf royal family, then if we can offer them all to Lord Samigina, we will surely be able to be promoted to the position of retainer, right?”

A retainer of a Demon Lord, even a relatively marginal position, was equivalent to a vampire duke.

A core retainer was equivalent to the influence of the five vampire princes in the western demon domain.

“Perhaps. But if possible, I think we can hide this girl. You keep it a secret for me.”

Yekanda’s words suddenly changed, which made his deputy’s heart skip a beat.

Samigina was not a kind character.

This Demon Lord, whose royal city was filled with a million undead army, treated his subordinates with a kind of hidden high pressure.

If he deceived the throne, he would very likely end up being controlled by necromancy and becoming a living dead.

“Do you know why Lord Samigina had me return to the western demon domain to capture Sula?”

Yekanda, seeing his deputy so flustered, simply laid his cards on the table.

He continued, “Because the elf race, besides the other so-called saintesses of the human race, is the race with the highest sanctity. Only their power can balance the power of the Demon God.”

“In other words, if one has not made a contract with that noble princess, if someone wants to normally master the extreme power of the Demon God, they must have an existence with high sanctity to balance it, and even say…”

The deputy was also a vampire, and as the race closest to the Demon God, he could roughly understand what Yekanda was saying.

And at the same time, he vaguely guessed why Yekanda wanted to hide this unexpected harvest.

“Could it be that Lord Yekanda also wants to get involved in the power of the Demon God?”

“How can you call it getting involved? The Demon God has been dead for a thousand years. My ancestral family was almost wiped out in the evil war. Even so, the empress and those princes are protecting that incomparably noble princess like they are protecting [life]. If you ask me, the empress should just kill the princess and take the contract, and then find a way to control that power and become a new Demon God, to do justice to their sacrifice a thousand years ago.”

If Hall had heard this demon-like statement from Yekanda, he would have died ten thousand times.

And in the vampire race, there had indeed been a fierce internal split.

In the game’s setting, there were nine vampire princes.

Two had died in the war a thousand years ago, and because the vampire empress had led her people to occupy the western demon domain of the Demon Lord seven hundred years ago.

There was a conflict in the clan on how to deal with the princess.

The process was not detailed.

But the final result was that two vampire princes had led their side branches and some of the vampires who supported killing the princess to flee the western demon domain.

And Yekanda was one of these vampire nobles who had fled.

At this moment, the deputy, hearing this, also understood what kind of mentality Yekanda had.

So he glanced at the necromancers who were forming this array around him.

These people would probably be killed and silenced after they captured Sula.

At that time, only the two of them would go back to report.

His answer also decided Yekanda’s attitude towards him in the future.

‘I understand. I support Lord Yekanda’s decision. If you can control the power of the Demon God in the future, why should you be subservient to the throne of a demon?’

But he thought again and said, “What about that Daniel who gave us the information? Are we really going to agree to his request?”

“Hehe, he thinks he can sleep with Sula just by giving a little information, and then pretend to be a hero saving a beauty, and become the husband of the elf race in the future? We don’t have to be soft-hearted with this kind of tool. But his talent is not bad. I have already prepared a backup.”

Yekanda looked at the crystal ball that Samigina had given him in his hand.

At this moment, because he had used up the array that had captured Leticia before, only half of it was left, faintly emitting a purple, ominous light.

“William, William, are we really going in the right direction?”

“You can’t feel it yourself? I’ve already put my blood on your wings.”

Hall was very helpless with this incompetent vampire waste.

If it were a normal pure-blooded vampire he was acting with today, he wouldn’t have been asked this kind of question.

But it could only be Parousia.

Only Parousia.

He could safely let her use his blood.

And he could feel that after Parousia had drunk his blood in West Town that night, and had killed the two elite assassins from the Lauren family, her strength had increased a lot.

She had probably gone from the low eighties to around eighty-four.

At this moment, he had applied a lot of his blood to Parousia’s wings.

Parousia was probably close to level ninety now.

At that time, he and Parousia teaming up to fight a level ninety enemy would not be without a chance.

Because although Parousia was an idiot in magic, her swordsmanship talent was a noble [S+], and her constitution was not weak.

No matter what, she was at least a pure-blooded vampire.

“Ah, I can feel it. But I could feel it just now. Now Sula’s aura is very weak. Could it be that she has been captured?”

Parousia frowned.

She was very worried.

After all, Sula was trying to let her escape.

“Don’t worry. It’s also possible that because we have come to the depths of the forest, Sula used [Nature’s Blessing] to hide her figure when she escaped here.”

Hall began to analyze.

Young Master Daniel’s face changed.

He was wondering if Yekanda had captured Sula or not.

If he had.

Hehe.

“What, Young Master Daniel? You don’t look very motivated. We are not the elf race. Can you connect to the local earth veins and see if you can sense Princess Sula’s tracks?”

Hall found that the guy who should have been crazy about showing off and pursuing Sula in front of the heroine in the plot was slacking off.

And he felt even more strange.

“Of course I can, young master. It’s just that I can’t protect myself when I’m connecting to the earth veins to search. You two be careful not to let anyone sneak attack me.”

Daniel, being suspected, said so.

So he pretended to bow down and began to place his right palm directly on the wet mud from the heavy rain.

He was going to connect to the earth veins.

If he couldn’t feel Sula’s aura, it meant Sula had been captured.

Next, he just needed to support Hall and Parousia to meet up with Yekanda, and then…

But the moment he connected to the earth veins.

His whole face showed a pained expression, and then a black-purple, ominous aura began to climb up from his right palm.

“Quick, quick, quick, save me!”

Hall saw that the ominous aura was clearly the necromancy that Rhys had used on the seventieth floor of the Demon God’s Labyrinth.

He directly kicked Daniel’s raised butt and sent him flying.

He had long predicted that Sula being targeted must be Samigina’s doing.

So the moment he saw the necromantic aura, he began to act.

If Daniel became a necromantic puppet, although he could use this excuse to get rid of him now, Daniel’s level was also in the low eighties, and he was an elf noble, his talent was not weak.

If he became a necromantic puppet, it would be a little troublesome.

Maybe that group of people was already staring at them in the dark.

To be on the safe side, he had spared Daniel’s life.

“William, what are you doing?”

Daniel, who had been sent flying, had a face full of mud.

He quickly stood up, wiping his butt, and turned to glare at Hall.

“Saving you. It was so dangerous just now. You’re not even thanking me, and you’re blaming me?”

“That’s right. William saved you just now.”

Parousia said.

Now Daniel also recalled the scene just now.

There was actually necromantic power in the earth veins.

He had never expected it.

So he no longer haggled over it, and just thought about whether Yekanda and his group had captured Sula.

If they hadn’t, considering the necromantic power in the earth veins, it should be soon.

Now he had to take Hall and Parousia in circles.

Although it didn’t matter if Hall was killed by Yekanda, Parousia was a pure-blooded vampire after all.

He was afraid of getting into trouble.

“Let’s go in immediately. It seems they haven’t caught Sula yet. As long as we go to the core of this forest, we’ll meet that group of people. They are forming an array in the earth veins, and the distance is probably very close.”

Hall knew that he couldn’t wait for the array that affected the earth veins to be formed.

Once it was formed, they would be at a disadvantage.

“By the way, send your Prince a location.”

At this time, he decided to have Parousia take out an insurance policy.

Parousia also immediately wanted to release her familiar.

But just after the familiar had flown out.

Parousia suddenly felt a pain in her stomach.

“Hall, my familiar was attacked!”

Then, the other party was very familiar with the vampires’ way of acting.

A pure-blooded vampire’s familiar was relatively special and could not be intercepted by ordinary means.

Now Daniel was quite happy.

No one would destroy his plan.

But before this great elf noble’s son could be happy for a moment.

An arrow emitting a necromantic aura pierced through his abdomen from behind.

And began to rapidly turn into an undead in the sight of the two.

“Damn it, William! What’s going on?!”

Parousia was stunned.

“Don’t just stand there! He’s beyond saving!”
