On the northeastern border of Castel, where the New Moon Kingdom meets the Northern Territory Grand Duchy.
In a dense forest, a crimson brilliance flashed, and a red Teleportation Array appeared on the ground.
The light gradually faded, revealing three figures clad in different garments, along with a black cat bound hand and foot.
"We’re out, this should be close to the border region of New Moon."
Baron Chait glanced at the surrounding terrain and said.
The Blood Demon Priest nodded slightly, then pondered aloud,
"We can’t stay in Castel for now, the Church has already arranged for ships at the border docks, we should leave here as soon as possible."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the black-haired girl beside him:
"Odosia, the other side also has Bloodline, with keen scent and Spiritual Sense, Dragon Mighty is hard to conceal, so don’t transform for now. Once we leave Castel, then we can fly."
However, upon hearing the words of the Blood Demon Priest, the girl did not respond.
"Odosia?"The Blood Demon Priest frowned slightly.
Odosia remained silent for a moment, her crimson eyes slowly turning towards him:
"Will we... come back?"
The Blood Demon Priest was taken aback, then understood her meaning and smiled:
"Of course, I have not forgotten our agreement. Once the plan succeeds, you can naturally get what you want."
"Don’t worry, the Duke is always generous, and there is no deity in this world more willing to make deals with Mortal Spirits than he."
Upon hearing the Blood Demon Priest’s words, Odosia nodded:
"Lord Priest, are we... going to Falling Star?"
The Blood Demon Priest shook his head:
"The situation in Falling Star is also a bit delicate, the Nais Clan has begun to scrutinize their clan members. First, we’ll take the boat to leave Castel, then fly back to the Royal Capital and discuss our long-term plans."
"Royal Capital? You come from the Royal Capital? Since when did the Royal Capital become the main base of the Blood Demon Sect?"
An abrupt voice rang out, curious amidst its hoarseness.
Everyone turned to the source and saw the bound black cat Nisi speaking, his large amber eyes blinking with curiosity.
"Lord Nicholas, are you not afraid now?"
Baron Chait narrowed his eyes.
"Afraid? Why should I be afraid? Back in the day when I roamed the continent, your great-grandfather’s great-grandfather was still in liquid form!"
The black cat declared with his head held high and chest puffed out.
Taken aback by the brazen words, his expression soured.
Meanwhile, Nisi continued to look around, endlessly chattering like someone who couldn’t stop talking:
"I say... Mr. Priest, aren’t you an Elf? Heading to the Royal Capital of New Moon with such fanfare, is that really okay? The Royal Capital is very strict with scrutinizing foreign ethnics!"
"The central Church of the New Moon region is also in the Royal Capital, your Blood Demon Sect has set up a base in the Royal Capital, aren’t you worried about being uprooted by the Holy Royal Court?"
"And the nobles of New Moon, the nobles there despise nothing more than the Shedite Bloodline who once overthrew the rule of New Moon, aren’t you flaunting yourselves too much? Aren’t you afraid of being hunted down by the human nobles together?"
"You are going to take a ship, looking at this direction, you’re heading to North Bay Town on the border, right? If I remember correctly, only the dock there on the Castel border can take you along the Don River to leave Castel, its only flaw being a bit too roundabout..."
"Odosia, silence it."
The Blood Demon Priest said coldly.
The girl stepped forward and casually picked up a stone from beside her, rubbed it to just the right size, and then stuffed it directly into the mouth of the Black Cat.
Looking at the deflated Black Cat, Baron Chait smiled:
"Lord Nicholas, there’s no point in struggling. As a prisoner, even if you extract some information, it’s meaningless."
Hearing the noble’s words, Nisi’s gaze flickered.
It turned its head away, thoughtful as it looked in the direction the others were moving.
With the restoration of the last city, the rebellion in Viscount Legris Domain had been completely suppressed, and the troops from Castel were almost omnipresent.
For this reason, although Odosia could transform into a giant dragon and fly, everyone chose not to do so. Instead, they concealed their identities and proceeded discreetly toward their destination.
The distance from the location where they had teleported out of the Ancient Hall to the border port was neither particularly near nor far.
About half an hour later, they saw the smoke from cooking fires rising from a small town and the glistening waters of the Don River.
Of course, there were also Castel soldiers patrolling around the town.
After the defeat of the Legris Family, soldiers patrolled all ports and main roads that could potentially be used to leave Castel, specifically to prevent any of the rebellious nobles from fleeing.
"Change your clothes. Don’t use magic if you can avoid it. From now on, we are merchants from the south."
The Blood Demon Priest packed away the clothes and said in a low voice.
However, just as he finished speaking, he felt a sudden palpitation.
The Blood Demon Priest’s hair stood on end.
Using his years of experience in evading the Church, he almost subconsciously burst forth with magic power and took a step back, and at that very instant, a black flame fell on the spot where he’d just been standing, corroding the ground into a pit.
"Tch, quick reflexes."
A light smack was heard, and Yulster’s figure slowly materialized in front of them.
He first raised his head to glance at the blazing sun above, then curled his lips, saying:
"This sunlight is so aggravating, it’s slowing me down a lot."
As he spoke, he glanced at the Blood Demon Priest, who stood alert and unharmed under the sun, squinting and chuckling softly:
"To be able to ignore the sun’s oppressive power and walk in daylight, you must not be a true Bloodline, are you? Let me guess, perhaps a Blood Demon Believer who has obtained Bloodline Power? This aura... an Elf?"
Watching the at-ease Yulster, the Blood Demon Priest’s expression immediately turned solemn.
On the other side, Nisi, with its mouth gagged by a stone, widened its eyes, looking as if it had seen a ghost:
It mumbled, without hesitation, and quickly wiggled its bound body to hide behind Odosia, doing everything it could to become virtually invisible.
It was clearly terrified of being noticed by Yulster.
Yulster looked curiously at the Black Cat tied into a lump, but his gaze quickly returned to the Blood Demon Priest.
Feeling his forthright presence, the Blood Demon Priest’s gaze tightened.
It was as if he had realized something. His expression shifted, and he quickly turned to look behind him, only to see not far off, Sebastian the Flame Elf slowly walking out from the trees, blocking their retreat.
"Ya, Priest Lord, and Miss Black Dragon, what a coincidence that we meet again."
He said with a smile.
