As soon as he stepped onto the solid floor, Helene slipped out of Angel's arms and moved away from her through the process of sorting the clothes. He stopped because of the charm Angel deliberately exuded and leaned closer hesitantly.
"We're here."
Angel said pretending to be indifferent, but he was smiling in his heart, and his depressed mood after being separated from Klein for a short time also improved.
Only then did Helene realize that the location he was in was not Trier's noisy street, but in the hall of a classical castle. There were expensive crystal chandeliers hanging here, and dark red patterned thick carpets. A spiral staircase leading to the high corridor on the second floor was inlaid with gold foil, shining brightly under the light.
This is... the "Red Swan Castle" that the family owns in Trier? Helene immediately recognized where this hall belonged, and his expression changed a bit.
When she first became Beyonder, she was told that it was best to stay away from this ancient castle, lest she gradually become violent and ferocious due to the blood curse, and eventually go crazy. One night, she walked into the depths of the underground maze and disappeared.
Except for some members of the main family who are eager to restore Sauron Family's glory, other Sauron have left the family castle, but this can only reduce the probability of "madness" and cannot completely eliminate the curse in the blood. From time to time, Helene will hear news about the disappearance of family branch members living in other places.
This made Helene's original struggle about whether to stay away from Angel, who was touching her, instantly replaced by panic. She frowned and looked at the paintings and ornaments around her, and whispered:
"Miss Angelica, let's leave here first. This place is actually..."
"Red Swan Castle, I know," Angel nodded and said in a relaxed tone, "You don't have to worry about the Sauron Family's bloodline curse problem, it has been completely solved."
The problem that has troubled the family for hundreds of years... no, maybe more than two hundred years, and the blood curse that has caused countless Sauron to get lost in the Depths of the Underground Palace and never return, has been solved?
Helene's green eyes showed not shock, but a kind of confusion.
This is a curse that caused the entire family to gradually decline, lose their throne and noble status, and countless members who had the opportunity to enter High Sequence died tragically. This is a problem that this Angel family has spent so much effort on, and generations of members have tried to solve but have no clue.
Not only has the curse been completely resolved now, but judging from Miss Angelica's tone, it seems that He solved it?
Satisfied with Helene's dull expression, Angel made a gesture, walked to Reception Room next to the hall, and found a single sofa to sit in the elegantly decorated salon. Helene followed suit and sat cautiously opposite her, looking around from time to time, as if still worried about the fatal blood curse.
Servants wearing red uniforms with gold embroidery passed by. Under the interference of Mirror Magic, they turned a blind eye to the two uninvited guests.
After sitting in a comfortable position, Angel said:
"The curse in your family's bloodline starts with Champagne Earl, who disappeared more than two hundred years ago..."
She picked out the key points of the legend she heard from Glaide Sauron and simply told Helene, including how she entered Depths of the Underground Palace and killed the crazy Formonda Sauron in Fourth Epoch's Trier, ending his two-hundred-year-long process of driving the descendants of the Red Swan Castle family crazy.
"So, on that day, you not only killed a Sequence 1'Conqueror' and obtained his Beyonder Characteristic, but you also helped my, no, Sauron Family's ancestor regain the power of Angel?"
After listening to Angel's plain narrative, Helene's heart felt like a storm.
The blood curse that has lasted for two hundred years in my family actually originated from Vermonda, who once accommodated Sequence 1 Characteristic. Generations of family members have sacrificed to keep this Beyonder Characteristic, and this "Conqueror" was easily killed by the Demoness Angel in front of him...
Then, it is said that the ancestor who founded Sauron Family in Fourth Epoch and finally fell in the conspiracy of "Blood Emperor" is still alive and became Angel again?
Feeling that the figure of Miss Angelica in front of him had become taller and more powerful, Helene quietly lowered his head and asked:
"Is that ancestor, His Highness Glaide Sauron, preparing to take control of the family again?"
She knows that although Sauron Family currently owns a "0" level Sealed Artifact, there is no Angel. There are about three or four Saints, and it is impossible to resist a Angel that has lived for more than two thousand years.
And why resist?
Isn't it natural for that lord to return to his loyal family?
Isn't it just for the glory of the Reenactment family that Sauron Family hides Red Swan Castle's abnormality and takes risks to research and seal it? Now that Vermonda is gone, it will be the same if it is replaced by Glaide Sauron...
Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at Angel expectantly.
The latter smiled slightly and replied:
"He has been integrating the power of the Sauron Family branch before, and even your father has become his informant... I think he is indeed preparing to regain control of his family and restore his former status."
"But if that's the case, why is Red Swan Castle, the most important person to the family, unprepared, as if he has been abandoned..."
Helene asked in a murmur, looking around again, and found that those busy servants had not noticed his existence, and there was no defense force that the Beyonder family should have.
Suddenly, all the servants in Reception Room stopped and turned to face the two people, their eyes locked on Helene.
This weird atmosphere that changed from movement to stillness made Helene's hair stand on end. Just as he was about to jump up from the sofa, a hoarse, joking voice came from behind:
"Of course it's to let you in and see what you want to do."
Helene turned around suddenly and found that the flame of the brass Kerosene Lamp fixed on the wall behind him was attracted by some force, left the lampshade and fell on the carpet. However, it did not ignite the wool, but quickly expanded into a figure nearly two meters tall.
The flames dissipated, and Glaide Sauron, wearing a dark formal suit, calfskin shoes, and a tie, with neatly combed red hair, appeared with a smile on his face. He first glanced at Helene, then bowed slightly to Angel, and said in a tone that did not contain respect:
"Welcome to Red Swan Castle, His Highness Golden Queen."
His appearance like a businessman made Angel's expression dull, thinking that what he was seeing was not some Angel who had lived for thousands of years, but Sauron Family's chief legal secretary.
"Why are you dressed like this?"
she asked bluntly.
Glaide adjusted his tie and recentered it before answering:
"I am re-adapting to this era. Shady Avenue's senior officials, and even the current leaders of this country, all wear this."
At least there is no need to worry about His humanity for a short time... Angel cursed, pointed at Helene and said:
"This is Ilian Sauron, the daughter of Jacob Sauron. She was originally 'Reaper', but for some reason it has jumped to Demoness Pathway and became 'Despair' Demoness."
Glaide's sharp gaze swept over Helene, and after a moment he nodded and said:
"I became Saint in less than five years. Although with outside help, promotion is much easier now than it was back then, but it's still pretty good."
It is easier to be promoted than Fourth Epoch. Does it mean that the willpower left by "Original Creator" in Beyonder Characteristic has weakened, and the probability of promotion out of control is smaller?
Angel made a guess and said instead:
"I hope your family can continue to provide her with help, potion materials, personnel and funds. Anyway, apart from you, there are not many high-sequence Beyonders in the Sauron family who are worthy of such investment."
She knew that as Glaide Sauron, it was impossible to manage the entire family in the open, and she would inevitably need to support agents. Helene was young, smart, and had already proven her talent, so she was a good choice.
The most important thing is that this is equivalent to dragging Sauron Family into her Chariot and becoming part of the "Golden Queen" force.
"But didn't she join Witch Church and become your favored one?"
Glaide said with a sneer, waved his hand, and asked the servants who were looking over Reception Room to walk out uniformly, like soldiers one by one.
"It's not a big deal, you can join in too."
Angel's words caused him to fall into a brief silence, as if he was making some kind of trade-off in his mind.
Finally, Glaide's serious expression relaxed, nodded slightly and said:
"I will arrange for her to return to the family first, and other things will depend on her performance."
Is this considered a sign of submission? You Hunter are really... Even if the situation is not good for you, you still have to subconsciously sarcastic and symbolically resist... Angel muttered a few words.
Although she and Glaide are both Angel now, their combat capabilities are not at the same level. Although the latter's "Weather Warlock" can restrain Demoness's stand-in and Mirror World to a certain extent. and other abilities, but Angel possesses multiple pieces of Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, as well as "Salinger’s Blood Banner" that can suppress the entire Red Priest Pathway, which in turn suppresses Glaide.
If we really fight, He probably won't be able to escape... Angel commented sharply in his heart, nodded with satisfaction, and stood up from the single sofa.
Seeing her, Mirror World was about to get into Mirror World, and Glaide asked again:
"Are you going to check out the Trier underground?"
How did He know? Angel did not hide anything and replied:
"Look for the fallen Fourth Epoch 'Catastrophe' Demoness."
Glaide chuckled lightly and warned:
"The new cultists that have popped up recently, Bliss Society, Tree Worship Sect, First Philosophy, are all trying their best to get into the ground. Steam and Blazing Sun's Beyonder can't catch them."
Bliss Society? That women love women group? I have never heard of the other two names, and with so many new cult organizations, Outer Deity is infiltrating faster and faster... Angel frowned and decided to find out the situation from Angel, the official Beyonder, before entering Underground Area.
And this month's Guardian Angel who is on duty as Trier is Saint Viève who is "Eternal Blazing Sun".
