Chapter 147 Calamity Castle
The bats hovering in the air did not fly very far, because the Colin family's carriage was parked on the street next to Nightmare on Elm Street.
As the flying bats swarmed toward the ground, Vivian, who had transformed into a human form, also touched the ground with her feet at the same time, and she was sitting elegantly in the carriage of the carriage in a flash.
Nan Fu sat opposite her.
Looking at his sister returning home in triumph, he immediately sat up straight and asked excitedly.
"Have you met your elder brother?"
"Hmm."
Vivian nodded her head proudly, raised her chin proudly, and spoke in a brisk voice like a lark at the spring equinox.
“I have already told him that it was really my fault that night, and since I was the one who made the first move, I took the initiative to apologize to him. He also regretted that he had dealt so harshly with me, and said that he should have given me a little more mercy and shouldn’t have been so harsh, but I did. I don’t hate him...I mean I don’t hate him personally, it’s not that I don’t hate him beating me..."
When she said this, Vivian coughed loudly, trying to get rid of the topic but didn't know how.
She was not one to hesitate, so she simply kicked Nan Fu in the calf, skipped the topic while the latter screamed, and continued.
"Anyway! He also said sorry to me. I am not an unreasonable person. Considering that he is my eldest brother, I will forgive him... That's it."
Nan Fu rubbed his aching leg while looking at his sister with admiration.
As expected of the eldest sister!
If he had been beaten to the point where he was left with half his life, he would definitely hide as far away from this elder brother as possible in the future, let alone pick himself up and untie his knot, fearing that he would never see him again in this life.
Of course, he has no habit of actively causing trouble. If Vivian's character is like a tiger, then he is more like a sheep.
Vivian snapped her fingers, and the ghost horse pulling the cart shook its hooves, taking the entire carriage off the ground and flying into the sky.
With his back pressed against the seat, Nan Fu suddenly remembered something, looked at Vivian and asked.
"Speaking of which...did you really give him your first hug?"
Vivian said with a slight hum.
“After all, we owe him.”
Human life is too short.
Although the teacher of the history of magic class always said that it is precisely because of the short life of human beings that it is easier to create miracles that other races are difficult to create, she does not need the kind of miracles in a grand narrative.
She just wants him to be with her all the time.
"Will there be any side effects? After all, he has not been officially accepted as a member of the Colin family..." The expression on Nan Fu's face was a little worried.
This guy looks very much like his father every time he makes a choice.
vivian suddenly realized why she couldn't help but want to beat him.
"No, I have investigated carefully."
Vampire's teeth are one of the media for first love, and there are generally three results for performing rituals. If the two have similar blood, the blessings received by the Colin family can be fully awakened. If the bloodline is alienated, the initial embrace may fail and nothing happens, or the initial embrace may be successful and a new bloodline develops.
This is the reason why vampires always look for partners from side lines.
Considering that the elder brother has at least half of his father's blood, the possibility of failure in the first embrace is very low, and there is a high probability that he can inherit the power of the Colin family as his next generation.
"Is your investigation rigorous? Do you want to ask your father..."
"There is so much nonsense!"
Vivian kicked Nan Fu's calf impatiently, stared at the shivering latter, narrowed her eyes slightly and said.
"I'm warning you, if you let your father know about this, I will let Heinevet sneak into your dreams... not just for one night, but all the time, until the year you graduate, you will never have a normal dream again."
Heinevette is her best friend in the High Demon Academy. Her identity is a dream demon, and her best thing is to manipulate dreams.
Hence Nan Fu was instantly frightened when he heard this and made a gesture of surrender.
"You don't dare!"
"Hmph, you know what's going on."
Vivian leaned back on the chair proudly, stretched out comfortably, her eyes fell on the scenery outside the window, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
She probably remembered something happy.
Looking at her sister who had her own way of doing things, Nan Fu felt helpless and envious.
It would be great if my sister could share some of her tenderness with her elder brother...
…
The seven-day vacation is finally over.
After bidding farewell to Priest Jeffrey, Luo Yan carried his suitcase and got into the Padrich family's carriage parked at the entrance of the temple.
On the way to the Demon King Management Department, Mia's eyes were full of sadness, as if he was not going to his own territory, but to the holy city of mankind.
Looking at the hesitant expression, Luo Yan made a helpless expression and said.
"Don't make it look like I'm not coming back."
He was not nervous at all, but he became a little nervous due to the atmosphere of separation between life and death.
"I'm not worried about you..." Mia's face suddenly turned red in the middle of her words, and she became excited. "Don't think too much, I mean, it will be very troublesome for me if you die, resume and so on... No matter how weak you are, It's also mine, the one who was responsible for the Demon King..."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Looking at Mia who was becoming more and more incoherent, Luo Yan was a gentleman and did not argue with her, but just followed her words and coaxed her.
What kind of resume would Miss Padridge care about?
There is no funnier joke than this.
Maybe he coaxed her just right. After getting out of the car, Mia returned to normal. Her tail that was running around was raised in a good mood, and she stopped talking about those incoherent nonsense.
Thanks to this, the atmosphere of separation between life and death finally disappeared.
Just as Luo Yan was walking towards the teleportation station easily, Kamu Dragon, who was standing under the huge demon statue, suddenly stopped him.
"Luo Yan."
"Why are you here again." Luo Yan made a helpless expression. It seems that the Ministry of Truth finally believed in the Dragon family, which has been loyal for generations, and did not embarrass this guy.
Camu stared at him with bloodshot eyes for a long time, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not say it, and just said in a hoarse voice.
"...Nothing."
Luo Yan shrugged his shoulders.
Strange person.
Or a strange devil.
After bypassing Kamu's side, Luo Yan continued to walk in the direction of the teleportation array. Halfway there, he suddenly stopped again, turned his face slightly and said.
"Your brother is fine. He is eating and drinking freely in my necropolis right now. When the chaos of the Chaos invasion subsides, he will come back naturally."
Kamu, whose eyes were blood red, suddenly froze and blurted out something.
… Thank you, thank you.”
That was probably what he said accidentally from the bottom of his heart.
Luo Yan smiled, not condescendingly sarcastic that he turned to his former enemy for help, but said meaningfully.
"I hope you really think so."
Abandoning these words and Kamu's neck, which turned red, Luo Yan said nothing more and left with Mia, who was sticking out her tongue.
…
Teleportation station.
It is still a familiar room. The magic array with gorgeous patterns has been filled with dark green magic energy, and the main entrance to the subspace is blooming loomingly.
Standing next to the teleportation array, Grien had a bright smile on his face, his expression was very much like the profiteer next to the card drawing interface of the second game.
"My dear junior, you are finally here! The teleportation array has been prepared for you! By the way, your subordinates are already waiting for you over there. Not only that, the lord of Calamity Castle has also prepared a banquet for you to wash away the dust. Let us set off quickly."
Luo Yan did not tell the Demon King Management Department about his reverse colonization of the Chaos Planet and his new discovery about the portal.
The impact of the Chaos Gate on subspace channels can actually be solved by "two jumps".
That is, first jump to the transfer station on the planet Kaa, and then use the power of the Chaos Gate to jump from the planet Kaa back to the teleportation array in the necropolis through another portal.
However, this method is only suitable for returning to the Necropolis from Hell, not the other way around.
As for the reason, his royal scholar Miranda speculated that in front of the Chaos Gate, the teleportation array of the outpost fortress and the teleportation array of the necropolis were more like the sub-teleportation arrays of the Chaos Gate.
When the subspace channel is hijacked, the jumps between sub-teleportation arrays will not be affected, while jumps to far points will be forcibly sucked into the Chaos Gate.
In other words, the teleportation from the Necropolis to the Magic City will be forcibly transferred to the planet Kaa, while the teleportation from the planet Kaa to the Magic City will simply not happen.
Unless the outpost fortress of the Necropolis can rely on its own strength to independently open a "cross-system subspace channel" to the Demon City.
There is a lot of knowledge involved, and Miranda is currently researching it... including ways to shield the subspace channel interference caused by the Chaos Gate.
Looking at Grien with a bright smile on his face, Luo Yan joked.
"It seems you want me to leave now."
Grian said with a sad expression.
「怎么会？我只是担心延误了战机，你会明白的，我对你的好是真心的。」
罗炎笑了笑说。
"Then thank you."
Grian smiled happily.
"You're welcome."
Luo Yan glanced at him in surprise, but he didn't expect that he actually took this polite remark seriously.
But it was not the first day he met this senior, so he was only surprised for a moment, and then looked at Mia, who was holding on to his arm tightly.
"I'm going to leave."
Although she was extremely reluctant to leave, Mia finally let go of her hand holding his arm and whispered the words she had been saying all the way.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
That pretty fair face was instantly stained by the sunset.
Grian, who was watching from a distance, whistled, but quickly closed his mouth again in the sight of a subordinate who was murdering someone.
"Waiting——"
Mia still wanted to say something, but Luo Yan waved his hand, stepped into the teleportation array, and soon turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the spacious room.
For a moment, she even had the urge to catch up.
Seeing the half step taken involuntarily, Green was startled and quickly glanced at the spell caster, interrupting the teleportation array.
Miss Padridge won't do anything to him, but the Padridges might kill him.
"...You don't have to worry so much. I'm still very optimistic about my junior. Besides, hasn't he already solved the threat of Chaos once? I think it will be the same this time. Maybe Chaos will be frightened by him."
Grian tried to comfort Mia, but found that the latter was not listening to him at all, so he shrugged and gave up.
On the other side, Luo Yan, standing in the subspace channel, heard the playful teasing in his ears.
"The Demon King is shy!"
"Shut up."
Luo Yan, who was concentrating on fighting against the turbulence of the subspace, had no intention of talking to Youyou. He just replied perfunctorily, and then focused his attention on the depths of the sea of consciousness.
As a brilliant ray of light flashed past the whole body, the distance of tens of thousands of kilometers seemed to be shrunk into an inch, and it was spanned in an instant under the influence of the force that ripped apart the space.
Unlike the goblins who fell awkwardly on the teleportation array, he took a step forward and landed smoothly on the teleportation array.
At the same time that his feet touched the hard stone, a loud and heroic voice sounded from directly in front, and a burly dwarf was seen approaching him with open arms.
"Welcome! Lord of the Necropolis! The devil from the deepest part of hell! My name is Gronn Cyborg, I am the lord of Calamity Castle, and I can also be considered your neighbor, hahaha!"
Like most dwarves, the guy with a beard long enough to be braided is like a hairy wine barrel, with a rosy nose that is as red as on fire.
Different from dwarves in the traditional sense, these hell dwarves, without exception, all have shaved heads and have inscriptions tattooed on their faces. Some of them are also equipped with prosthetic bodies composed of machinery and inscriptions, which has a rather cyberpunk feel.
"Thank you for your warm hospitality. In fact, I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but it's a pity that my stupid subordinates always prevent me from being free."
Luo Yan nodded slightly to show respect, then hugged the iron barrel-like dwarf, and then calmly let go of his hand.
This guy hasn't showered in about two weeks. He has a very pungent smell. There may be a lot of little lives living in his fluffy beard.
However, since the other party did not dislike his identity as a necromancer, he was polite and did not express his dislike.
Perhaps you could try selling some perfume here?
Luo Yan couldn't help but think so in his heart.
The dwarf named Goron laughed for a while, then patted his arm with a palm-sized hand and said enthusiastically.
"Your men are feasting in the banquet hall. Our banquet has already started for a while. I hope you don't mind, but my boys can't hold back their tongues as soon as they smell the aroma of wine!"
The vulgarity of the hell dwarves is well-known in Hell. Luo Yan even heard that they would spit without scruples when their leader was speaking.
That does not mean disrespect, but in their deviant culture, it means treating the other person as one of their own.
Luo Yan used to think this was some exaggerated hell joke, just like the jokes he heard about human beings, which were all stereotypes, but now he suddenly believed it.
"It doesn't matter, I happen to be not very hungry, as long as they are happy eating."
He euphemistically expressed that he wanted to rest for a while, but Goron enthusiastically took his arm and said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if you're not hungry, it's enough to have wine in your stomach! Come on, come on, let's have two drinks no matter what!"
The alcoholic look is creepy, but in line with the position of being a guest, Luo Yan still maintained an unchanging smile.
"Then I would rather be respectful than obey your orders."
“Hahahahaha! Let’s go!” Goron laughed boldly, led Luo Yan in front, and strode out of the door with rapid strides.
It is worth mentioning that although these dwarves are not tall, their living quarters are exceptionally spacious.
The tall and spacious corridor rivaled that of the temple lobby in the Magic City. Luo Yan even suspected that even giants could come and go freely here without worrying about hitting the door frame.
The two walked along the corridor for a long time, and finally arrived at the banquet hall of this underground castle.
As Luo Yan expected, the group of goblins under him really humiliated him. They noisily grabbed food with their hands and stuffed it into their mouths. Their greedy eyes were glowing green, and they wanted to climb on the table, just like starving ghosts reincarnated.
The glory of "Bobula" seems to have been completely forgotten by them, at least now no Goblin thinks about it at all.
Only Ork was quite reserved, not standing on the table at all, and even trying to maintain order... although not many goblins listened to him.
However, after seeing the painting style of those hell dwarves, Luo Yan was instantly relieved.
His subordinates are still very respectable. At least they are not sleeping slovenly in a barrel full of wine, and their pants are well worn.
Ok was startled when he saw His Majesty the Demon King standing at the entrance of the banquet hall, holding a chicken leg in his hand, and quickly climbed down from the chair to salute.
"Sir, sir! Ock tried to persuade them to calm down, but no one listened to Ock..."
Before Luo Yan could think of what to say, Goron laughed and said.
"During the banquet, just concentrate on enjoying the banquet! You're welcome!"
Luo Yan sighed and said.
"Just like Mr. Goron said, enjoy the banquet and don't worry about anything else."
"Yes..." Oke climbed back on the chair obediently, and soon recovered, and started to eat as the Romans do.
Gron took Luo Yan to sit next to the main seat, poured wine for him personally, and then raised the wine glass high to announce the official start of the already messy banquet.
Looking at the wine glass in his hand, Luo Yan was hesitant to drink it, so he decided to recite a purification spell while no one was paying attention.
Fortunately, the sudden ringing of the bell came to his rescue.
"What happened?" Luo Yan took the opportunity to hold the wand in his sleeve and quietly cast a harmless magic on his cup.
The turbid wine immediately became clear, and even the alcohol was purified.
"It's probably the Rat Men coming again, but it doesn't matter, it's just a bunch of little rats, hahaha, it's not a problem!" Gronn, who had finished drinking a whole barrel of wine, let out a wine belch, stood up from the main seat unsteadily, then picked up the hammer beside him and smashed it twice on the banquet table.
The "dong dong dong" sound startled the goblins who were eating and drinking, but the hell dwarves who had eaten and drank enough wiped their mouths and stood up excitedly with their axes.
Gron stepped on the table and took advantage of the fanatical atmosphere to shout at his subordinates.
"Young men! Let the distinguished guests from the Magic City show you how we teach those stinky rats!"
The drunken hell dwarves beat their chests with axes, making a deafening roar amidst the accompaniment of tinkling sounds.
「Oh oh oh!!!」
