There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

However, after hearing Lu Qing's words, Vina shook her head and refused:

"No, this is demonic magic; humans can't learn it."

"Okay," Lu Qing said, somewhat disappointed.

"Are you still going out now?" Vina asked.

After thinking for a moment, the other person added, "If we go out now, we might run into the Storm Clan."

"The Storm Clan?" Lu Qing asked, somewhat puzzled.

“They are a group of birds with wind and lightning attributes. Their leader is a Storm Eagle with both wind and lightning attributes. Whenever there is a heavy rain, these guys come to the Demon King's Castle to rob food,” Vina explained.

"These guys have a keen sense of smell and are very fast. They can find the granary no matter where it is, grab the grain and run. The Demon King has been troubled by this for a long time."

"I see..." After thinking for a moment, Lu Qing asked, "Will we be in any danger if we go out?"

With a confident smile, Vina said, "These birds aren't very strong. With me here, unless we run into that cunning leader bird, nothing will happen."

"Then let's go out and take a look," Lu Qing said.

She still wanted to go out and take a look. After all, she was very curious about the Storm Clan birds. Anyway, there was no danger and she didn't have to worry about getting wet in the rain. What was wrong with going out and taking a look?

"Open the door, nothing will happen," Vina said, turning to the soldier.

"this......."

After a moment's hesitation, the soldier went to the winch and forcefully lowered the hoist.

"Splash!"

As the slatted door was lowered, the sound of pouring rain reached Lu Qing's ears, and splashes of water danced on the ground.

Lu Qing and Vina stepped into the rain. Looking up at the raindrops sliding down from the overhead shield and the way it cut through the ground, Lu Qing exclaimed in amazement:

"Is this magic?"

Unfortunately, she couldn't learn it.

Thinking about this, Lu Qing couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but she quickly put the matter out of her mind.

It's only temporary that she can't learn it. Perhaps she'll be able to learn magic in other instances?

If all else fails, we can always create a card character that can use magic later.

Where are the people on the streets?

After walking for a while, Lu Qing, seeing that there was no one on the street, asked...

“They’ve all gone to take refuge, because the Storm Clan will be here soon,” Vina, who was walking ahead, explained.

"Seriously, I'm sure nothing bad will happen," Lu Qing said, looking at the dark clouds in the sky that were flashing with electricity.

"Nothing will happen. These birds are mainly here for food," Vina said, shaking her head.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly turned her head to the other side. Lu Qing followed Vina's gaze and saw a large, dark shadow moving towards them from the distant clouds.

“They’re here,” Vina said.

Chapter 97: It's Over

A dark flock of birds appeared in the distant clouds, spreading across half the sky like a tide.

These birds had a clear objective: the food warehouse inside Dracula's Castle.

After all, food is of paramount importance in order to feed an entire clan. Although food is virtually inexhaustible because they live on the sea, they would still get tired of eating fish every day.

Moreover, compared to the food obtained through hard work fishing, this method of directly stealing from other people's homes is obviously faster.

"Wow!"

As birdsong filled the air, flocks of birds swooped down from the sky and rushed toward the castle.

After several encounters, the large birds had figured out the situation.

All the residents outside the castle had gone to take refuge, and there was no one on the streets. Even if there was food, there wasn't much. Therefore, they no longer paid attention to other buildings in the city and headed straight for the castle.

Watching the overwhelming flock of birds fly overhead, blocking most of the rain, Lu Qing opened her mouth in surprise and said:

"Are these all birds of the Storm Clan?"

Vina, who was standing to the side, nodded and said, "These are the troops they use for harassment; they are mainly used for direct combat."

"In addition to the main force responsible for the battle, there is also a very fast squad that is specifically used to launch surprise attacks on granaries. This squad is specifically responsible for seizing grain."

"You know that very well?" Lu Qing asked curiously.

“We’ve clashed with them so many times, of course we know what these guys do,” Vina said.

"However, while it's clear, solving it won't be so easy."

"They are very fast and quite skilled at low-altitude flight, capable of blasting open the doors or walls of granaries to steal the food inside. Ordinary demons simply cannot catch up with them."

"but......."

A cold glint flashed in Vina's eyes as she said, "This is their last time."

"You set a trap?" Lu Qing asked curiously.

Nodding, Vina looked at Lu Qing and invited her:

"Should we go take a look? If nothing unexpected happens, neither the lead bird nor the squad responsible for raiding the granary will be able to escape from Devil Castle this time."

"Can I go?" Lu Qing pointed to herself.

"of course can."

Vina extended her fair hand and said, "Please place your hand in mine."

"is that so........"

Lu Qing extended her left hand and placed it in Vina's palm, whispering.

"Mm." Vina nodded, her four fingers slowly grasping Lu Qing's hand, and said:

Please prepare yourself mentally.

"What kind of mental preparation?"

Just as Lu Qing was about to ask that question, the space around her began to distort, and a chaotic, complex, and nauseating feeling welled up inside her.

The scene before her eyes kept changing, but when Lu Qing tried to vomit, she found that she could not feel her own body at all.

"vomit."

The solid feeling of standing on the ground returned to her feet. Lu Qing subconsciously wanted to gag, but found that the nausea she had felt earlier had completely disappeared.

Looking up, she saw that she was standing with Vina.

Beneath his feet was a completely incomprehensible magic circle, beside him were four stone pillars and railings, and above his head hung a huge metal bell.

"Where is this?" Lu Qing asked.

“This is the top of the abandoned clock tower. From here, you can see the condition of the granary,” Vina explained to Lu Qing.

"Then how did we suddenly appear here?" Lu Qing asked again.

“It’s magic.” Vina pointed to the magic circle on the ground and said, “A specific teleportation spell can be directed to the teleportation circle. Although this clock tower is abandoned, the teleportation circle on it has not been dismantled.”

"I see."

After listening to Vina's explanation, Lu Qing looked at the teleportation array on the ground, lost in thought.

The Demon King must also know this kind of teleportation spell, so if he uses it to escape during the final moments of the opera when Laura and Ella fight against the Demon King, wouldn't that be very troublesome?

Thinking of this, Lu Qing asked:

"Is there any flaw in this spell?"

When Vina heard Lu Qing's words, she glanced at her without thinking much and said, "Of course there are. For example, it consumes a lot of energy, and you need to guide it for two seconds before using it. You can't move while guiding it, etc."

"I see."

If the channeling time is two seconds, then there is no way there will be time to use the spell. In combat, let alone standing still for two seconds, the enemy will not allow you to use it even for half a second.

“They’re here,” Vina said at that moment.

Looking in the direction Vina was looking, one could see that in the distance, a raging wind swept through the middle of the street, and birds with broad wings were flying at great speed towards the distant granary.

The granary, which should have been heavily guarded, was now unguarded. The large birds looked on with a puzzled expression, unable to understand why.

Their keen sense of smell was able to clearly detect the aroma of the grain piled up in the granary, but for some reason, they couldn't detect the scent of the demons at all.

“Our scent has been blocked by the storm shield,” Vina suddenly said.

"Ok?"

Lu Qing looked at Vina with a puzzled expression, before realizing that the other woman meant that the large birds couldn't smell the scent on the two of them.

"Oh." Nodding, Lu Qing continued reading.

The large birds cautiously circled the granary twice, and finally, seeing no reaction, they flew directly towards the granary.

However, just as they approached the granary, the gate inside suddenly opened, and demon soldiers covered in flour rushed out, knocking out the giant bird at the front with a single punch.

Then, large nets shimmering with elemental light fell from the sky, covering the remaining large birds that hadn't yet realized what was happening.

“It’s over here,” Vina said.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a violent flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the distant sky, followed by a burst of visible gale that blew a large hole through the dark clouds.

However, after a short while, the lightning dissipated, the gale disappeared, and a demon dressed in dark full armor descended from the sky, holding a huge eagle in his hand.

Crimson blood fell from the sky along with the rain. The demon, clad in full armor, threw the giant eagle's corpse to the ground and glanced at every large bird soaring in the air.

"Splash!"

Upon seeing their leader dead, the birds of the Storm Clan seemed to be frightened and flew away into the distance without looking back. In less than ten minutes, not a single bird remained in the sky above the entire Demon City.

Chapter 98: Water Demon Flower

"Is that the Demon King?" Lu Qing asked Vina beside her, watching the figure gradually disappear in the distance.

“Hmm.” Vina nodded, then said:
