Chapter 149 Attack again

The cat-woman receptionist at the inn, wrapped in a bathrobe, rushed to Charlotte's room, followed by a burly young man with two cat ears on his head.

The two rushed to Sharred's room. The cat-man, seeing the large hole in the wall, immediately asked, "Lord Sharred, what happened? Was there an assassin?"

"No, it's just that this brother had a nightmare and released magic in his dream, causing you losses. I'm really sorry, I will compensate you," Sharred said, pointing at Norn.

If he were to reveal that he had been assassinated, the cat-man would definitely inform the guild master. At that point, whether he liked it or not, the guild master would forcibly arrange a large number of people to protect him, including spies sent by the kingdom.

Considering that doing so would expose Norn and his group's identities, Sharred chose to keep it a secret.

The cat-man glanced at Norn with a complicated expression, clearly not quite believing his explanation.

"Should I inform the president?"

"No! No one is allowed to enter my room or disturb us tonight, and don't ask any more questions."

"Excuse me—" The cat-man suddenly understood something, glanced at Norn, and immediately realized what was going on.

"Okay, okay, I understand. I'm sorry to have disturbed your rest." The cat-man quickly closed the door and left.

"Mom, is it really alright if we leave like this?" the cat-eared man beside her asked.

"Let's go. I really don't understand the hobbies of these rich people. You're not allowed to like men like him in the future, understand?"

After confirming that the two had left, a cloud of black smoke rose from the center of the room, and Arno's body appeared from it.

"I've lost all face for you," Shared said with a wry smile.

"Actually, it's all for your own sake. If Dante finds out about your relationship with me, your family won't be any better off." Norn sat down in a chair.

"That's right, so this is a win-win situation. You protect me, and I'll give you a large reward."

"But that guy Uru actually went so far as to hire a dark mage to deal with you. It seems he's determined to kill you."

"That's normal. If he doesn't kill me, I'll kill him sooner or later. Once I've dealt with Mur and returned, I'll definitely have my father hire a group of assassins to hunt him down all over the world."

Charles poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

"You'd better not drink. I don't think they'll let this go tonight. Even with me and Arno protecting you, you need to stay sober," Norn advised.

"I know, it's fruit wine, it's not very strong," Sharred said, pouring Norn a glass as well.

"You said that dark sorcerer was under Angremor's control. Could you elaborate?"

Norn then recounted how he was wrongly imprisoned and forced to castrate himself.

"That Angre actually did something like this. He's a down-on-his-luck duke who doesn't even own much land. If this were told to the king, he wouldn't have enough heads to go around."

After saying that, Shared inserted the magic crystal into the slot on the wall, and the whole room lit up.

He lay in bed and continued to peruse his sacred text.

After checking the door locks, Norn closed each window tightly.

Time passed slowly, the sun gradually rose from the east, and the morning light shone into the room through the window.

The streets began to fill with human voices, and a few wild birds landed on the windowsill.

Although Shared had slept for a while, he was still very sleepy. "Norn, I'm going to sleep for a bit. If you're hungry, someone will bring you breakfast later."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door: "Lord Sharred, I've come to deliver breakfast. Could you please open the door?"

Norn was about to respond when a waiter's scream echoed down the hallway.

Immediately afterwards, a fiery snake burst through the door. Although nothing could be seen entering, the chaotic footsteps indicated that they had already entered, and there were quite a few of them.

"Shared, get up! They're back!"

Norn raised his hand to cast several layers of shields on himself and Sharred, then mentally instructed Arno to unleash red lightning to eliminate the unseen enemies.

However, no matter what Norn commanded it, Arno remained unmoved, simply standing there staring blankly at the empty space.

Norn requested a brain swap, but was refused just like last time.

"Damn it! They're not stupid. They must have been prepared to come at us directly!" Norn suddenly felt things were getting tricky.

Farai stood in the center of the room, the luster of the two blood crystals beneath his black robe visibly fading.

He focused intently on sensing the communication channel constructed from a massive amount of demonic energy, while the flawed product of the evil god listened intently to Falai's monstrous words.

"Good child, you've been deceived. We are your family."

"You have an illness, and only by following us can you be cured."

"Don't you want to go back to your comfortable tumor? There you won't go hungry, and no one can hurt you."

Arno's intelligence is only at the level of a three-year-old child. It has no ability to distinguish right from wrong. As long as someone can talk to it, it will subconsciously classify that person as one of its own and will not harm him.

Fala threw away the two blood crystals that he had already used up, and his companion handed him two new ones.

This rate of consumption was truly heartbreaking for them. Normally, one fist-sized blood crystal would be enough for them for half a year, but now they had used up two in less than a few minutes.

But it was worth it. Under Fala's various temptations, Arno really was like a child tricked by human traffickers, leaving with them.

"Arno! What are you doing? Come back here!" Norn shouted angrily.

The next second, several bolts of red lightning rushed towards Norn, instantly breaking through his blood-red shield. The shockwave from the explosion sent him flying, crashing into the wall and knocking him unconscious.

A figure in black robes materialized and walked up to Norn.

The shield around Sharred dissipated, and he stared in horror at the dark mage.

"I am Wald's son! If you dare lay a hand on me, my father will not let you get away with it!"

"Don't be nervous, we won't kill you." After saying that, the dark mage squatted down and touched Norn's philtrum with two fingers.

"He's breathing; he's still alive."

"Take him away, Lord Angre will like it," Falley's voice came.

The dark mage hoisted the unconscious Norn onto his shoulder, the black smoke rising from him vanished in an instant, and he disappeared from Sharred's sight.

With a few heavy footsteps, the room returned to silence.

Still shaken, Shared pinched his face to confirm that what had just happened was not a dream.

"Damn it, you really think I'm easy to bully, huh?"

Sharred stood up angrily, intending to find the guild master and ask him to send people to hunt down those dark mages.

At this point, they didn't care whether Norn would be discovered; saving lives was the priority.

Just as he was about to walk out, he heard a tinkling sound coming from the side.

Turning my head, I saw a gray-blue bird frantically banging its beak against the glass outside the window.

Upon seeing Shared turn around, it immediately spread its wings in an open gesture, indicating that it wanted him to open the window.
