Chapter 147: Calamity Castle

The bats circling in the air didn't fly very far, because the carriage of the Prince Prince Kelin family was parked on the street next to Ghost Street.

As the dancing bat swarm swarmed toward the ground, Vivian, who transformed into a human form, also touched the ground with both feet at the same time, and her figure flashed and she was already sitting gracefully in the carriage.

Nan Fu sat opposite her.

Looking at the sister who returned triumphantly, he immediately sat up straight and asked excitedly.

"Did you see Big Brother?"

"Unhuh."

Vivian nodded haughtily, tilted her chin triumphantly, and spoke in a voice as light as a lark during the spring equinox, flowing as smoothly as clouds and water.

"I've already spoken to him; it was indeed my fault that night. Seeing that I was the one who made the first move, I took the initiative to apologize to him. He also regretted that he hit so hard at the time, saying that he should have let me go a little bit at the time, and shouldn't have hit so hard, but I don't hate it... I mean I don't hate him personally, not that I don't hate him beating me..."

When she got to this point, Vivian coughed to cover up, wanting to muddle through this topic but didn't know how to muddle through.

She is not a stuttering character, and she simply kicked Nan Fu's calf, took advantage of the latter's scream, skipped this topic, and continued.

"Anyway! I've already apologized to him. This lady is not unreasonable either; considering he is my big brother, I forgave him... that's it."

Nan Fu looked at his sister with worshipful eyes while rubbing his aching leg.

Worthy of being the eldest sister!

If it were him, if he were beaten to only half a life, he would definitely hide as far as he could from this big brother in the future, let alone regain his spirits and untie the knot, let alone see him again in this life.

Of course, he doesn't have the habit of actively causing trouble. If Vivian's personality is a tiger, he is a bit more like a sheep.

Vivian snapped her fingers, the ghost horse pulling the carriage shook its hooves, and the whole carriage lifted off the ground and flew into the sky.

With his back against the seat, Nan Fu suddenly remembered something, looked at Vivian and asked.

"Speaking of which... did you really give him the Embrace?"

Vivian gave a light "um" and said.

"After all, we owe him."

Human life is too short.

Although the teacher of the Magic History class always said that it is precisely because human life is short that it is often easier to create miracles that other races find difficult to create, she doesn't need that kind of miracle under grand narratives.

She just wants him to stay with her.

"Won't there be any side effects? After all, he hasn't been formally accepted as a member of the Prince Prince Kelin family..." Nan Fu's expression was a bit worried.

Every time this guy makes a choice, he is particularly, particularly like his old man.

Vivian suddenly realized why she couldn't help but want to beat him.

"No, I've investigated carefully."

Vampire teeth are one of the mediums of the Embrace, and performing the ritual generally has three results. If the bloodlines are close, the blessing received by the Prince Prince Kelin family can be fully awakened. If the bloodlines are distant, the Embrace may fail, and nothing will happen, or the Embrace may succeed, developing into a new bloodline.

The blood clan always looks for objects from the side branches because of this reason.

Considering that the big brother has at least half of the father's blood, the possibility of the Embrace failing is very low, and he will likely inherit the power of the Prince Prince Kelin family as her next generation.

"Is your investigation rigorous? Should we ask father..."

"What's with so much nonsense!"

Vivian kicked Nan Fu's calf impatiently, glared at the trembling latter, narrowed her eyes slightly, and opened her mouth to say.

"I warn you, if you let father know about this, I will let Hainiweite sneak into your dream... not just for one night, but always, until the year you graduate, you don't even want to have a normal dream again."

Hainiweite is her best friend at the Higher Demon Academy, whose identity is a Dream Demon, best at manipulating dreams.

Nan Fu was scared instantly upon hearing this, making a gesture of surrender.

"The little one doesn't dare!"

"Hmph, count you as knowing the current affairs."

Vivian leaned back on the chair proudly, stretched comfortably, her gaze fell on the scenery outside the window, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

She probably remembered something happy.

Looking at the sister who went her own way, Nan Fu felt helpless and envious in his heart.

If only the old sister could share a little of the gentleness she had for the big brother with him...

The seven-day holiday finally ended.

After saying goodbye to Priest Jeffrey, Luo Yan carried his suitcase and got on the carriage of the Partridge family parked at the temple entrance.

On the way to the Demon King Management Department, Mia's eyes were full of sorrow, as if he were not going to his own territory, but to the Holy City of humans.

Looking at that expression of wanting to speak but stopping, Luo Yan made a helpless expression and said.

"Don't make it look like I won't come back after this trip."

He wasn't nervous at all, but was made a bit nervous by this atmosphere of life and death.

"I'm not worried about you..." Mia, who was halfway through, suddenly flushed, and excited herself, "Don't think too much, I mean, your death will be very troublesome for me, resumes and stuff... even if you are weak, you are still mine, that, responsible for... Demon King..."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Looking at Mia who was becoming more and more incoherent, Luo Yan very gentlemanly didn't argue with her, just coaxed her a few words along with her words.

What would the young lady of the Partridge family care about resumes?

There is no joke funnier than this.

Perhaps it was because he coaxed her just right, Mia, who got off the carriage, recovered some normality, her tail that was running around was raised upward in a good mood, and she didn't say those incoherent nonsense again.

Thanks to this, the atmosphere of life and death finally disappeared.

Just as Luo Yan was walking toward the teleportation station with ease, Kamu Delagong, who was standing under the huge Demon God statue, suddenly called 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 loyal Delagong family for generations and didn't make things difficult for this guy.

Kamu stared at him with bloodshot eyes for a long time, seemingly wanting to say something, but finally didn't say it, just said in a hoarse voice.

"... Nothing."

Luo Yan shrugged his shoulders.

Strange person.

Or a strange demon.

Bypassing Kamu's side, Luo Yan continued to walk toward the teleportation array, and when he walked halfway, he suddenly stopped and turned his face slightly to say.

"Your brother is fine, he is currently eating and drinking for free in my Great Graveyard; when the storm of the Chaos invasion subsides, he will naturally come back."

Kamu, whose eyes were blood-red, was suddenly stunned and blurted out a sentence.

"... Tha, thank you."

That was probably his heartfelt words that he accidentally said.

Luo Yan smiled and didn't mock him from a high position for seeking help from his former enemy, just said meaningfully.

"I hope you really think so."

Leaving this sentence and Kamu, whose neck was flushed, Luo Yan didn't say anything else and left with Mia who was sticking out her tongue.

Teleportation station.

Still the familiar room, the magic array with gorgeous patterns was already filled with ghostly green magic energy, and the main gate of subspace was looming with light.

Standing beside the teleportation array, Gelien's face carried a bright smile, the expression looking like a profiteer beside the card-drawing interface of a second-tier 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 welcoming banquet for you; let's set off immediately."

Luo Yan didn't tell the Demon King Management Department about his reverse colonization of the Chaos planet, as well as the new discovery about the portal.

The influence of the Gate of Chaos on subspace channels can actually be solved by "two jumps."

That is, first jump to the transit station on the Kao Planet, and then borrow the power of the Gate of Chaos to jump back from the Kao Planet to the teleportation array of the Great Graveyard through another portal.

However, this method is only applicable to returning from the Netherworld to the Great Graveyard, and it won't work the other way around.

As for the reason, his imperial scholar Miranda's speculation is that in front of the Gate of Chaos, the teleportation array of the Outpost Fortress and the teleportation array of the Great Graveyard are more like sub-teleportation arrays of the Gate of Chaos.

When the subspace channel is hijacked, the jump between sub-teleportation arrays is not affected, while the jump to a distant point will be forcibly sucked into the Gate of Chaos.

In other words, the teleportation from the Great Graveyard pointing to the Magic Capital will be forcibly transferred to the Kao Planet, while the teleportation from the Kao Planet pointing to the Magic Capital simply cannot happen. Unless the Outpost Fortress of the Great Graveyard can rely on its own strength to open up another "intergalactic subspace channel" pointing to the Magic Capital.

There is a lot of learning in this, and Miranda is currently studying it... including ways to shield the subspace channel interference generated by the Gate of Chaos.

Looking at Gelien with a bright smile, Luo Yan made a joke.

"It seems you can't wait for me to leave now."

Gelien made a sad expression and said.

"How could it be? I'm just worried about delaying the fighter plane; you will understand, my kindness to you is sincere."

Luo Yan smiled and said.

"Then thank you."

Gelien smiled happily.

"You're welcome."

Luo Yan looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to take this polite remark seriously.

However, he was not knowing this senior for the first day after all, so he was only surprised for a small while, and then looked at Mia who was holding his arm tightly and wouldn't let go.

"I'm going to set off."

Although she was extremely reluctant in her heart, Mia finally let go of the arm she was holding, and whispered the sentence she had been saying all the way.

"... Be careful on the road."

"Hmm."

Looking at those reluctant eyes, Luo Yan patted the fluffy pink hair lightly with his right hand.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

That fair face was dyed with sunset in an instant.

Gelien, who was watching from afar, whistled, but soon closed his mouth under the murderous gaze of a certain subordinate.

"Wait—"

Mia wanted to say something else, but Luo Yan waved his hand, had already stepped into the teleportation array, and soon disappeared into the spacious room as a ray of light.

For a moment, she even had the urge to chase after him.

Seeing the half-step she took involuntarily, Gelien was startled, hurriedly gave a look to the caster, and cut off the teleportation array.

Miss Partridge wouldn't do anything to him, but the Partridge family might kill him.

"... You don't actually have to worry so much; I still think highly of my junior, and didn't he already solve a Chaos threat? I think it should be the same this time; maybe Chaos will be scared by him instead."

Gelien 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 ear.

"The Demon King is shy!"

"Shut up."

Luo Yan, who was concentrating on fighting the subspace turbulence, didn't have the heart to pay attention to Hearing You You, just replied perfunctorily, and focused his attention on the depths of his sea of consciousness.

With a gorgeous light flashing past his body, the distance of tens of thousands of kilometers seemed to be reduced to an inch, and under the action of that force tearing space, it was crossed in an instant.

Unlike the Goblins who fell on the teleportation array in a sorry state, he took a step forward and landed steadily on the teleportation array.

And just at the same time his feet touched the hard stone slab, a loud and heroic voice rang from directly in front, and he saw a burly Dwarf opening his arms and greeting him.

"Welcome! Lord of the Great Graveyard! Demon King from the deepest part of the Netherworld! My name is Gelong Steelbone, I am the lord of Calamity Castle, and can be considered your neighbor, hahaha!"

Like most Dwarves, the guy whose beard was long enough to be braided looked like a hairy wine barrel, and a wine-red nose was as red as if it had caught fire.

And unlike traditional Dwarves, these Netherworld Dwarves were all shaved bald without exception, and had inscriptions tattooed on their faces, and some even had prosthetics built by machines and inscriptions, which felt a bit cyberpunk.

"Thank you for your warm hospitality; actually, I have long wanted to visit you, but my dull subordinates always made me unable to spare my hands."

Luo Yan nodded slightly to show his respect, then hugged the barrel-like Dwarf, and then let go calmly.

This guy probably hadn't bathed for two weeks, and there was a very pungent smell on him; those fluffy beards probably housed many small lives.

However, seeing that the other party didn't dislike his identity as a necromancer, he also politely didn't show any disgust.

Perhaps he could try selling perfume here?

Luo Yan couldn't help but think so in his heart.

That dwarf named Gelong laughed heartily for a while, then patted his arm with a hand the size of a palm-leaf fan, and said enthusiastically.

"It doesn't matter if you're not hungry; having a stomach to hold wine is enough! Come, come, come, we have to drink two cups no matter what!"

That alcoholic look was creepy, but based on the position of being a guest, Luo Yan still maintained a calm smile.

"Then I will respectfully obey."

"Hahahaha! Let's go!" Gelong laughed heroically, led Luo Yan to walk in front, and strode toward the door.

It is worth mentioning that although these Dwarves are not tall, the places they live are unusually spacious.

That tall and spacious corridor is comparable to the main hall of the temple in the Magic Capital; 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.

And just as Luo Yan expected, the Goblins under his hand really lost his face, noisily grabbing food with their hands and stuffing it into their mouths, their greedy eyes glowing green, wishing they could climb onto the table, just like starving ghosts reincarnated.

The glory of "Nao Bu La" seemed to have been completely thrown to the back of their heads, at least no Goblin thought of it now.

Only Ouke was still reserved, at least he didn't stand on the table, and even tried to maintain order... although not many Goblins listened to him.

However, after seeing the style of those Netherworld Dwarves, Luo Yan was instantly relieved.

His subordinates are still decent; at least they didn't sleep sloppily in a barrel full of wine, and their pants were worn properly.

Seeing the Demon King standing at the entrance of the banquet hall, Ouke, who was holding a chicken leg, was startled, hurriedly climbed down from the chair and wanted to salute.

"Lo, Lord! Ouke tried to persuade them to be calm, but no one listened to Ouke..."

Luo Yan hadn't thought about what to say, and Gelong beside him laughed and said.

"Just focus on enjoying the banquet during the banquet! Don't be polite!"

Luo Yan sighed and said.

"Just like Lord Gelong said, enjoy the banquet well, don't care about anything else."

"Yes..." Ouke climbed back to the chair timidly, soon recovered his state, and followed the customs of the place to eat and drink heartily.

Gelong pulled Luo Yan to sit beside the main seat, poured wine for him himself, and then held up his glass to announce that the banquet, which was already in a mess, had officially begun.

Looking at the wine glass in his hand, Luo Yan hesitated whether to drink it, or take advantage of everyone's inattention to recite a purification spell.

Fortunately, the suddenly ringing bell relieved him.

"What happened?" Luo Yan took the opportunity to hold the magic wand in his sleeve and quietly cast a harmless magic on his cup.

The turbid wine liquid immediately became clear, and even the alcohol was purified.

"Eight out of ten times it's the Ratmen attacking again, but it doesn't matter, just a group of little mice, hahaha, it doesn't matter!" Gelong, who had finished a whole barrel of wine, burped, stood up from the main seat swaying, and then picked up the hammer on the side and smashed it on the banquet table twice.

That "dong dong dong" sound startled the Goblins who were eating and drinking, while the Netherworld Dwarves who had eaten and drunk enough wiped their mouths and stood up excitedly with axes.

Gelong stepped on the table, took advantage of the fanatical atmosphere, and shouted at his subordinates.

"Little ones! Show the distinguished guests from the Magic Capital a hand, let's see how we usually teach those stinky mice a lesson!"

The Netherworld Dwarves, who were drunk, beat their chests with axes and let out deafening roars in the accompaniment of clanging sounds.

"Oooooh!!!"

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 148 =====

The "thump-thump-thump" sound startled the goblins who were eating and drinking, while those Hell Dwarves who had eaten their fill wiped their mouths, grabbed their axes, and stood up excitedly.

Gelong stepped onto the table with one foot, and taking advantage of the fanatical atmosphere, shouted to his subordinates.

"Boys! Show our distinguished guests from the Demon Capital a trick or two, and let them see how we usually teach that bunch of stinking rats a lesson!"

The Hell Dwarves, drunk as lords, beat their chests with their axes, emitting deafening roars amidst the clanging accompaniment.

"Ooh ooh ooh!!!"
