Chapter 1657 - 913: Plans and Assault

On the road to Rekton City,

The sky was as blue as a gemstone, with white clouds drifting leisurely, seemingly pushed gently by the wind into various fascinating shapes.

The weather was exceptionally clear, and the sunlight poured down unreservedly, cloaking the earth in a layer of warm golden glow.

On the road, an ancient carriage was slowly making its way, its wheels turning gradually as they rolled across the ground, producing a rhythmic sound.

Theodore sat upright at the front of the carriage, his hands firmly holding the reins, focused on driving the carriage.

From time to time, he turned sideways to look back, observing the situation inside the carriage.

At the same time, his ears were alert, capturing every slight movement inside the carriage, as if guarding against some potential danger.

Inside the carriage, Turner and Hanna were like two startled little deer, obediently sitting on the side.

They huddled closely together, their eyes full of caution, occasionally sneaking glances at Lis who sat opposite them.

Lis appeared laid-back and complacent, lounging lazily against the soft cushions of the carriage.

With his head slightly tilted upwards, Lis gazed at the white clouds in the azure sky, seemingly pondering something, or perhaps simply enjoying this pleasant moment.

He held a bright red apple in his hand, its color vivid and inviting.

He leisurely took a bite, the crisp sound echoing lightly within the carriage, followed by a delicate chewing.

There were also quite a few other foods placed inside the carriage, their sweet fragrance wafting through the small cabin, yet failing to dispel the tension and unease in Turner and Hanna’s hearts.

At this moment, Lis suddenly spoke:

"So, Hanna, you really don’t want revenge?"

"Those people destroyed your family, after all."

"Lord Edward, the Grant family is gone, let it be gone."

"After all, to other people in the kingdom, the Grant family was indeed too dangerous."

"Moreover, I don’t want Turner to continue getting involved with the family’s heritage and knowledge in the future."

Hanna gently held Turner’s hand beside her and spoke softly:

"Whatever thoughts you have, as long as you send Uncle Theodore and Turner away, I’ll follow you no matter what."

"That’s quite a pity."

Lis said regretfully.

However, his tone left Hanna wondering if he was truly feeling remorse.

Lis ate his apple and glanced at Hanna and Turner.

This body, though a vampire, could still taste the flavor of normal food.

Yet, for Lis at the moment, it didn’t hold any special allure, entirely different from the unique attraction of blood.

But Lis merely tried it once or twice.

For him now, there was no problem in not eating at all.

Since coming to this small world last night, Lis had been trying to ascertain the fundamental situation of this world.

His summoner Hanna, from the Grant family, was considered among the great nobles of Samuel Kingdom, naturally possessing abundant knowledge of the hidden secrets of this small world.

In this small world, there were six kingdoms in total, with Samuel being the weakest among them.

And the city they were headed to, Rekton City, was right at the border between Ryan Kingdom and Samuel Kingdom.

The Grant family had been completely destroyed, with only Hanna and Turner left.

Theodore was the strongest warrior of the Grant family, and after its destruction, he had been protecting Hanna and Turner.

In truth, the foundation of the Grant family was nearly exhausted from resisting the attacks of other forces.

The magic item Hanna used to summon Lis was the last of its kind.

From Hanna and Theodore, Lis learned that the extraordinary forces attacking the Grant family this time almost included all the advanced nobles of Samuel Kingdom.

In other words, the Grant family had become an enemy to everyone in the kingdom, hence its tragic downfall.

For this reason, Hanna had no intention of reviving the family.

In her view, Edward’s previous suggestion was entirely his ill humor.

Is this what demons are like?

Hanna felt a sense of oddity, yet she had no intent to resist.

As long as Theodore and Turner could be sent across the kingdom’s borders, she’d be content.

No matter what this self-proclaimed demon Edward intended to do with her afterward, she had no objections.

What could be more frightening than death?

Yet, the Edward before her gave a completely different feeling.

In her perception, Edward’s demeanor seemed not a disguise but genuinely rational and wise.

Last night, after killing those hooded men, Edward used some unknown method to completely restrain the Abyss Demon aura on himself.

At present, aside from his peculiar blood-colored eyes, he appeared not like an Abyss Demon, but entirely like a noble.

For Lis, there was not much valuable intelligence obtained from Hanna.

In the information Hanna understood, there was no connection to the external world.

However, there was one piece of information that Lis found quite interesting.

That is, this world has a most powerful kingdom, which is Ryan Kingdom bordering Samuel Kingdom.

Ryan Kingdom had been the strongest kingdom through countless years; although it never proactively attacked other kingdoms, anyone daring to provoke Ryan Kingdom would face the most ferocious retaliation.
