The door of the room pushed open, and a middle-aged woman wearing a white apron entered, holding a tray.
At this moment, Elise lay unmoving on the bed. Seeing this, the woman placed the tray on the table and said sincerely, "Miss Elise, you should eat something. The Counts are very glad you've come back alive. Once they're done with the recent sacrificial ceremony, they'll come to see you."
"Are you part of the Blood Race?" Elise turned her head to ask.
The middle-aged woman shook her head, "No, I'm just a Bloodline, your servant, Miss Elise."
"Don't you want to escape from this place?"
"Hehe." A bitter smile appeared on the middle-aged woman's face. "Many Bloodlines have thought that before, but without exception, they've lost their lives, or have been permanently locked in the dungeon, living a fate worse than death. I'm content to serve the masters in the castle."
"Leave the food here. It's too little. Bring more. I've thought it through, and I'm really hungry this time," Elise said expressionlessly.
The woman's face lit up with joy, nodding quickly, "Alright, I'll go get you more food."
As she left, Sun Yan and the others quickly crawled out from under the bed and rushed to the food on the tray.
Although they were in a castle belonging to a Blood Race family, it must be said that the food here was fairly normal.
For example, grilled squab, strip steak, salt-baked snails, etc. — nothing outlandish. The hungry Sun Yan devoured the food with gusto.
"Humans can be quite pitiful. When they're starving, their eating manners really suffer," said Elise, sitting up and shaking her head.
Sun Yan muttered, "The reason why humans say 'food is as essential as steel.'"
Not long after, there was another knock at the door. Sun Yan and the others hadn't expected the servant to bring food so quickly, leaving them unable to properly react.
They couldn't even manage to hide.
Smith and Luo Wei were so frightened they held their breath, their eyes wide as they stared at the door, while Sun Yan wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, ready to activate the Mo Lihai Dharma to instantly kill the Bloodline outside to prevent her from making any noise.
Under everyone's gaze, the door slowly opened, and a figure slowly entered from outside.
Just as Sun Yan's heart moved and he was about to act, the middle-aged woman suddenly collapsed forward and fell to the ground, already unconscious.
Sun Yan and the others were stunned. What was going on?
"Huh, so you're all here."
A pair of long legs walked in from outside, accompanied by a familiar voice, familiar long legs.
Seeing the familiar blonde woman before him, Sun Yan couldn't help but express joy, "Sosia! You're alive!"
"Can't you wish for something good for me?" Updates are released by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
Sosia took off the travel bag strapped to her and tossed it to Sun Yan.
Reaching out, Sun Yan quickly opened the backpack, rummaging through its contents.
Golden Halberd, mask, Nuo Mask, Big Red Numbered Shirt… Not a single item missed!
"Great, now I feel much more confident." Sun Yan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately gave Sosia a big hug, "Where did you go before? Why weren't you locked up with us?"
"At that time, an RPG exploded near the car. As the car flipped, I intended to pull you out...
But then Blood Race people drove by. I couldn't take you all, so I took your Magical Artifacts to prevent them from falling into their hands." Sosia explained.
"Luckily, your actions were crucial in the end."
Sun Yan immediately donned his War Robe, wearing the Numbered Shirt and Battle Skirt.
He put on the Nuo Mask and General Sun Mask, displaying his peak state.
"What do we do now? Do we escape?" Smith asked.
It seemed to him not only had the attack on the Morolick Clan failed, but the true situation of the Morolick Clan far exceeded his expectations.
This was not some small clan struggling and surviving by coming to the Gold Mine Town.
The Morolick Clan came to this remote area to better plan major events in secret.
The Gold Mine Town had long been managed as a base camp by them, and now, Smith had brought Sun Yan and the others in without any caution due to receiving false information.
This guilt made him lose the desire to destroy the Morolick Clan, hoping only to leave with Sun Yan's group safely, freeing his mind from self-blame.
"No, now it's our time to strike back."
Sun Yan swung the Golden Halberd, his spirit and morale revitalized.
During the White Sunday's deal, he had exchanged from two Corpse Collectors a Blood Race Cloak and Blood Race Staff, both of which he gave to Elise.
While the Tang Blade and Feather Boots were worn by Sosia.
With these pieces of equipment, the combat power of Sun Yan's Graveyard team was unquestionable, not to mention Cemetery Members could use his Cemetery Entry.
As Sosia preserved and brought all the equipment, it marked the starting point for Sun Yan to officially sound the counterattack.
