Theater

Blood Bat with Large Wings.

The Earl strengthened his pet with a ' Silver Chain ' and personally controlled it, directly approaching Han Dong at the eaves.

Just as the battle between the lords was about to officially begin.

"Togu... come back!"

Han Dong, however, showed no sign of fighting and decisively put Togu back into the Portable Prison.

Let's get out of here!

Having already planned his escape route, Han Dong would immediately flee once Abel successfully took the big dog away... This was not the area where the battle should take place.

With black feathered wings covering its body, it flew backwards from the roof at top speed, then entered the mansion through the open bedroom window... taking the shortest route and the fastest speed to reach the restricted area of the mansion that Senior Sister Zhen had scouted.

"Togu, Chen Li 'm entrusting the situation outside to you. Try to buy me as much time as possible... If your lives are threatened, find a way to escape."

"Yes, Master."

During his escape, Han Dong placed Chen Li and Tuogu in a hidden compartment in the mansion.

"This is really boring... I thought you, this young lord, could be like that [New King], bringing out some eternal treasure to forcibly enhance your own strength and confront me head-on."

Why did you run away the moment we met?

The Earl, however, was in no hurry.

This was his hometown. He could sense Han Dong's location by the Blood Qi permeating the mansion, confirming that the target had not escaped, but was simply moving quickly within the mansion.

Considering energy consumption and side effects.

The Earl temporarily released his pet from the ' Silver Chain ' and entered the mansion through the open window, chasing after Han Dong as quickly as possible.

Because there is no Silver Chain to restrain it.

Two pets, eager to devour the enemy's flesh, were chasing after the Earl, about twenty meters away.

When passing through some darker areas with many corners.

Centipede Elder's pet suddenly disappeared, and its presence could not be detected at all.

You see, this is the Earl's own home... but the Earl has no idea where such a long centipede went.

"It seems that after this battle, I also need to reorganize the manor properly... The Head Butler is right, there are too many fundamental problems in managing the manor solely with [Blood Brew] as a reward."

This young lord actually found a loophole in my manor and turned against me... Haha! I, as a lord, have truly failed."

Just as the Earl was feeling a sense of helplessness.

The [Bone Demon] floating at the front also disappeared without a trace... The Earl didn't even know where the hidden compartment in the mansion was located.

If the Earl calms down and searches now, he will surely be able to find out where the missing pet is by observing some subtle movements.

but...

Through the sensation of Blood Qi.

Han Dong is currently in a rather troublesome area, and he must get there as quickly as possible... otherwise some secrets involving himself and the Scarlet Manor will be revealed.

Moreover, the Earl's secret collusion with a Mysterious Person from the Holy City may also be exposed.

"Ugh... What a nuisance! Lord Nicholas, have you been eyeing my manor from the very beginning? You've even managed to find my Private Theater."

"If some things are exposed, it will cause me a lot of trouble."

I will no longer search for my missing pet.

The Earl chased after Han Dong at top speed... Along the way, the ordinary guards left to watch over the restricted area had completely turned into a lifeless pool of black sand.

The information provided by the maid Julia was absolutely correct.

The restricted area within the mansion was the Earl's Private Theater, also known as the ' Stage of Mad Laughter '.

The slaves who were captured and brought back after being occupied all had the opportunity to perform on stage.

If you can please the Earl on stage, you will not only survive, but you will also gain the title of ' Stage Actor '.

They had food and clothes to wear in the mansion and enjoyed the same living conditions as ordinary servants.

The performance cycle lasts approximately one week.

If the subsequent performances can please the Earl and make him laugh out loud, he can even be promoted to a higher status as a ' Stage Actor ' and receive more preferential treatment. He may even receive the 'Blood Brew' from the Earl and join the Crimson Family.

However... if a performance fails to make the Earl laugh, the Stage Actor will be executed immediately.

Apart from Private Theater.

There are even more secrets hidden deeper inside.

It involves the Earl's 'secrets', the origins of the manor, and the Blood God's hidden information...

Han Dong used the technique of ' Life Drain ' to kill all the guards along the way and officially arrived at the restricted area.

Similar to an opera house design, it can accommodate 600 people at the same time.

During the Earl's viewing, six hundred "accompanying servants" will be brought in to enhance the atmosphere.

The stage, covered by a blood-red curtain, was covered with various bloodstains and piles of all sorts of performance props.

Examples include clown boxes and clown costumes, moving mannequins, or other strange and unusual magic props.

"The 'Laughter' attribute... Each of the Blood God's lord subordinates is equipped with an additional characteristic attribute in addition to the main attribute of 'blood'."

For example, the Head Butler's "insect" and Count Bach's "maniacal laughter".

Unfortunately... it happens to overlap with the attributes of the Joker, Pennywise.

Moreover, based on the details I have gathered and observed so far, the Earl is not entirely loyal to the Blood God... This can be proven by the fact that the Blood God sent a watcher.

The Earl took advantage of the portability of the Mobile Deed to engage in many shady dealings.

For example, colluding with the chairman of the Writers Association in the Holy City... the secret must be hidden deep here.

Of course, such a secluded area deep within the mansion also perfectly fits my plan.

I hope Togu and Chen Li can buy me enough time..."

Han Dong released several crows to search for hidden areas within the theater, while he sat on the edge of the stage, quietly waiting for the Earl's arrival.

"Lord Nicholas, what do you mean by this? Isn't it better to come here from outside the manor? This is my Private Theater, and it will be very difficult to repair if it's damaged."

The Earl entered through the main entrance of the theater.

While speaking, he was already making subtle movements with his hands, after all, the Earl didn't want anyone to discover the secrets inside.

A hound formed from pureblood essence appeared in the shadows of the stage, its body covered in spikes, and suddenly pounced on Han Dong... Even Though such a pureblood construct is shattered, it will continue to invade the target's body in the form of blood.

despair...

Han Dong gently tapped the ground with his staff.

A black ripple spread out.

When the ripples came into contact with the charging hound, its pureblood body instantly turned into black sand, its life force 'evaporating' in an instant.

"Earl, stop with these petty tricks... Come on! Let's face it head-on!"

Han Dong, in his capacity as Knight-Errant, subtly beckoned to the Earl, who was Mature Abyssal Demon...
