There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

However, after such a crushing defeat, Talina felt much more relaxed, and the depression in her heart also dissipated.

"So... can you explain it to me? Mr. Black Key, I remember you just said these guys were coming for you."

Turning her gaze towards the Black Key, Tarina asked curiously.

Having just seen Black Key at Ludwig University not long ago, she was curious about how this guy got here.

After being asked this by Talina, the others also looked at Black Key.

Hei Jian, who tends to be a loner, was a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many people. This was different from the audience at his usual performances, so he could only try his best to calm his inner restlessness.

"To be more precise... they were going for my brain..."

After hesitating for a moment, Hei Jian finally told the reason why he was being targeted.

There is something called the Echo of the World in his mind, which is related to the Witch King who had died long ago. The remnants of the Witch King are looking for him to take the Echo of the World in his mind.

Then, with the performance of the Golden Rule music and the Witch King's rituals, they can try to pursue the glory of the Witch King's era.

In other words...

This group of crazy guys are trying to resurrect the Witch King.

The reason why he was reluctant to greet Talina at Ludwig University was because he had already sensed the danger and did not want to drag irrelevant people into it.

But things went against his wishes and he still implicated others.

Thinking of this, Hei Jian's eyes dimmed, as if he was thinking of something that had happened before.

"Echoes of the Earthly World? But aren't they looking for the Golden Rule? Wouldn't playing according to a specific melody also achieve their goal? Why would they come looking for you?"

There were many doubts in Hei Jian's words, and to Talina, who knew a lot, it seemed completely unnecessary.

The same effect can be achieved by collecting the Golden Rule movements and then performing them through special rituals. The earthly echoes in Black Key's head are basically like an anchor point that can help them accurately locate themselves.

But the problem is...

The Witch King's spell can also play the same role. Why bother looking for the black key? Isn't that just like taking off your pants to fart?

"How do you know this?"

Compared to what Talina knew, Black Key was shocked by Talina's words.

How could an outsider understand the queens' schemes better than her, who was right in the middle of it?

"I..."

"It seems you know more than I thought, little girl."

Just as Talina was about to continue answering, an old voice appeared from the depths of the darkness.

Stepping on the black scorch marks, the strange-looking Fremont emerged from the darkness.

With his left hand behind his back and his right hand gently stroking his long beard, Flemont, dressed like an old nobleman, appeared in the sewer which was out of place for him.

"Your technique is rotten to the extreme, and your air is pedantic and outdated. Even without getting close, I can still smell the stench in your mind."

Looking at Black Key standing in front of him, Frémont opened his mouth with a "harsh" criticism.

"They've messed around with Herhunzollen's stuff and turned it into this horrible mess it is now. The ideas of vulgar people are indeed vulgar."

He stopped stroking his beard and stretched out his right hand towards the black key: "But there's nothing I can do. I promised her."

"Boy, come here and let me see what's in your head."

As Frémont finished speaking, Hei Jian felt his body being pulled towards the other party by a strange force.

This was not his original wish, but the effect of a spell, a special spell similar to the Word Spirit.

It is also the thousand-year-old inheritance of the Lich King's Court.

"You...are delusional!"

Trying his best to resist Frémont's pull, the staff in Black Key's hand emitted a black light and struck Frémont under his control.

But as soon as the spell flew in front of Fremont, the old man waved his hand and knocked it aside.

"It's futile. Give up these little tricks."

Black Key's body was constantly being pulled. Fremont looked at the child who was getting closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye he saw the shadow of his old friend in him.

As both were of the Utica family, the two had some similarities.

But it's just similar.

With his five fingers tightened, Flemont cast a spell, and an invisible giant hand grasped the black key, completely depriving him of the ability to move.

"Behave yourself, I might..."

Chi~

Just as Frémont was about to grab the Black Key, a flame appeared between the two of them, separating them.

Fremont's spell was also engulfed by the highly corrosive flames, and the connection between the spell and the spell was lost.

Feeling the flame left over from the past, Frémont's long-silent heart began to tremble.

"Draco's flame... If I remember correctly, these four-legged snakes have long been extinct, right?"

Ignoring Loris and the other man who were dragging the black key back, from the moment he appeared until now, Frémont finally set his sights on Talina.

His inherent thirst for knowledge made him forget his current task and turn his attention to Talina.

"Hybrid? No, you're of pure Hippogriff bloodline. Those lizards who got mixed up wouldn't look like this... Are you relying on some weapon? No, that's not right... This flame has a strong vitality, not at all like that kind of decayed thing..."

The Witch King's Court is a group that spreads knowledge on this land. While they spread knowledge, they also crave knowledge. Now that a variable like Talina has appeared, Fremont has other ideas.

For example...just like Herhunzollon before.

Compared to the unchanging melody of Leitania, the new melody like Talina's is more attractive to him.

"Forget it, give that kid to me, and I promise to spare his life afterwards, how about that?"

In a rare move, Frémont discussed the conditions with the children.

But judging from his performance when he appeared, Talina didn't believe this guy at all.

The tragedy of Londinium has made everyone on the Terra continent wary of the Sarkaz. In addition, she had seen this old lich in front of the Black Emperor before, so who knows if it will cause any trouble in the future.

No...it's already causing trouble.

"You go first, I'll stop him..."

Raising his hand to block the crowd, Hei Jian took the initiative to stand forward.

This matter started with him, so naturally he should end it.

Volume 8: Chapter 37: ...

As for Black Key's personal heroic behavior, Talina said it was useless.

Not to mention whether this old man would let them, the insiders, go, just that moment she already felt that she was being targeted by this old man.

In addition, she knew too much, and Fremont was on the Black Emperor's side. With the Black Emperor's thundering methods, do they still have a chance to survive?

Don’t you see that the Black Emperor’s tower has almost turned into a prison for her? Talina doesn’t want to stay there for the rest of her life.

The remnants of the Witch King are looking for Black Key for the echoes of the world in his head, and this old man is looking for Black Key for the things in his head. Talina doesn't believe that these two groups have no connection.

Looking at Frémont warily without moving, Talina began to secretly signal Maria.

Fremont had always noticed Talina's vigilance. Although he didn't know why the child was so hostile to him, it didn't matter.

He didn't care at all.

He has lived for nearly a thousand years and has seen all kinds of people. How could he care about a child's expression?

Thus, a gorgeous misunderstanding arose between the two.

But Frémont won't waste time on resolving the conflict between the two, because...

Talina is not worthy yet.

"come over!"

He stretched out his hand again, and an irresistible suction force came out from the old lich's hand, causing Black Key to stagger.

Fortunately, he was prepared and used magic to break the connection between the two before the old lich pulled him over.

Flame appeared between the two men and rushed towards Flemont with swift power.

Looking at the surging flames, Frémont became rarely interested.

He could tell that the flames before him were not fake things simulated by magic, but actually came from Draco's energy core.

But Talina is a Liberian, and how can a Liberian obtain Draco's flame?

Excited by the sight of prey, Fremont did not put out the fire immediately, but instead intercepted it and felt the heat that was enough to burn everything.

"I don't know how it compares to the Fire Demon... What a shame, what a short-lived bunch."

Looking at the flames in his palm that were still trying to escape by dashing left and right, Frémont waved his hand to disperse them.

Behind the fire curtain, Talina and her group had long disappeared. As for when they left, Fremont did not know.

But he wasn't worried at all.

The old lich closed his eyes, feeling the traces of his spells, and traced the location where Talina and others disappeared.

Through the construction of magic, a clear map appeared in front of his eyes. The old lich looked at the small red dot that kept moving on it and grinned.

"Run... Let me see what you're capable of."

.........

"I say...are you sure he didn't catch up?"

Following Talina and the others, they began a desperate run, Pim said breathlessly.

His fighting ability was not strong to begin with. He first experienced a battle in which he almost lost his life. After he finally escaped from the joy of surviving the disaster, he was targeted by a thousand-year-old monster.

At this moment, there were countless dirty words in his heart that wanted to burst out, but he held back.

"I'm not sure. There are many different types of musical spells, many of which involve tracking. In this area, your military police are the experts."

After taking the time to answer Pym's question, Black Key took the lead, turned a corner, and then stopped in a park.

Under Fremont's pressure, several people did not dare to slow down at all, but at this moment Black Key stopped, which confused the others.

After calming his breath a little, Black Key looked at Loris and Pym and said, "Their target is me, not you two. It's basically safe to leave now. There's no need for you to continue following them."

Whether it was the remnants of the Witch King or Fremont who showed up halfway, both forces were looking for Black Key. The latter also included Talina, and had nothing to do with Maria, Loris, and Pym.

If they left now, Fremont would definitely not cause trouble for a gendarmerie captain, as that would be too cheap.

It would be dangerous to follow him all the time.

As for Maria, Hei Jian could see that the two of them had a good relationship, so he didn't waste any words. He believed that Talina would make her own decision.

"I..."

After listening to Black Key's words, Loris hesitated for a moment, looked at Talina, and then looked at his subordinates.

Talina and the other person came back to save the situation. It was a life-saving grace. It would be a pipe dream for him and Black Key alone to stop the remnants of the Witch King.

Even if Fremont came, his target would only be Black Key, and he would not even give Loris any attention. His fate would be to be torn to pieces by the furious remnants of the Witch King.

Life-saving grace should be repaid with one's own life...

But...that was who he used to be.

Life in the gendarmerie had worn away too many of his edges. From the soldier who first stepped into the Witch King's Tower to the gendarmerie captain who was judged by Federico to be unworthy of cooperation, he had been decadent for too long.

He was no longer the businessman who came from Lateran, bowing and scraping to the nobles, accepting bribes, and doing secret operations within his duties.

He integrated into Leithania, but also lost his true self.

The fear in his body urged him to leave here quickly, but the remaining memories in his heart told him that he should not do this.

But in the end, reality overwhelmed persistence.

"Feel sorry..."

With his head lowered, Loris seemed to have lost all his strength, and his spirit was gone, like an old man in his twilight years.

Talina didn't say anything about this.

She never asked for anything in return when she came to save people. It would be more accurate to say that her original goal was to kill people.
