211. Lord

Isaac's shout immediately drew the attention of everyone in the camp.

There were three men and two women in total, all looking very wary. A tall, thin girl had already reached for the logging axe inside the tent.

After all, the bloodstains on Sulu's body were too frightening.

"Hello... My name is Sean, I'm a student, and I'm currently traveling. I somehow got lost, encountered wolves, and fell off a mountain... Can you help me?"

Sulu raised his hands to show that he was unarmed and completely safe, and asked in a magnetic voice.

Previously, this wouldn't have been necessary; a Psychic Thaumaturgy to alter memories would have solved all the problems.

But now, his soul is wounded, and every 0.1 percent of Inspiration is precious and cannot be wasted.

Even without using supernatural powers, his own superior mental strength, combined with the handsome face he sculpted, gives him a very approachable and charismatic presence.

Furthermore, these guys, who seemed to be students themselves, were naive and inexperienced, and they actually believed it!

After a few more questions, Isaac smiled and said, "Come in... Everyone has their bad luck and setbacks. We have medicine here, and I have a few spare shirts and pants; you can change into them..."

"Thank you! I will pay you."

Sulu exchanged a few polite words, walked into the camp, and sat down by the campfire.

The others glanced at him and, realizing that the marks on his body were indeed not caused by a sharp blade or firearm, but rather looked like injuries from a fall, their expressions softened slightly.

"You can have some soup first!"

Isaac served Sulu a bowl of soup. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Isaac, and these are John, James, Elizabeth, and Diana. We are all students at Lori City Grammar University, and we're on a fall outing."

John and James were both tall, muscular white men with clearly defined muscles, which was perhaps the reason they took in Sulu.

Both Elizabeth and Diana were good-looking women.

Elizabeth, with her beautiful golden curly hair, was stroking the Erha's back. "Harlock, you did a great job... I think we should reward you with a big meaty bone, and then apply for your rescue dog honors when we get back!"

"Its name is Harlock?"

Sulu took a sip of the broth; the fresh mushrooms, combined with the rich cheese and diced meat, made for a very delicious and flavorful dish.

"Yes... it's my dog!"

Isaac sighed, "I believed that damned businessman's lies, thinking it was a noble dog from a prestigious lineage, and bought it for a fortune. It was indeed very cute when it was a puppy, so adorable... but after it grew up, it was a nightmare... Can you understand the pain of having to change the furniture and sheets every week?"

Hearing his repeated complaints, John, James, and the others chuckled good-naturedly, "Actually... Harlock isn't as bad as you say, at least it's quite amusing... haha..."

"There's still someone to be saved!"

Diana, with her brown hair and mixed-race features, added.

Sulu, wrapped in a blanket, subtly probed for information, finally managing to guess his own position.

'They haven't gone too far from Lori City, so I'm now in New Phoenix State?'

New Phoenix State is located in the western part of the Federation, bordering Gusta State of Sulu. It has many excellent ports and is famous for its shipbuilding industry.

'Unexpectedly... although it's positioned within the Federation, the deviation is quite significant!'

The Nia City is located in the eastern part of the Federation, which almost spans the entire Federation.

'And... it seems the Black Death Society is quite active on the West Coast of the Federation... Is Beatrice here too?'

Sulu thought about it and decided that there was no need to consider the other party for the time being.

After all, Beatrice had already received a 'warning' when she tried to curse him, and she probably wouldn't dare to have any more wicked thoughts in the short term.

At that time, I was still in Kangni State.

Beatrice probably never imagined she would be so bold as to come to the West Coast on her own initiative.

This can be considered a form of 'the most dangerous place is the safest place'!

'And... as long as I recover my strength, as long as I don't encounter a fifth-tier professional... I can go anywhere in the Federation, and I still have one last chance to Evil Spirit Possession...'

After thinking it through, Sulu put aside his worries and began to eat and chat with the students.

After eating and drinking his fill, he took a bath by the spring, changed into Isaac's clothes, and was no longer the disheveled man he had been. With his handsome features, he caught the eye of Elizabeth and Diana.

Of course, this earned him the eye-rolls of John and James.

"We have three tents. Tonight you'll share one with me, James and John will share one, and the two beautiful ladies will share one. How about that?"

When the campfire was almost dead, with only a few embers remaining, Isaac yawned and offered his suggestion.

"We have no problem," James said, exchanging a glance with John.

"We don't have any either..." Elizabeth smiled, "But Sean and Isaac, you might need to add a dog to your tent!"

"Speaking of dogs..."

Isaac glanced around the camp. "Has anyone seen Harlock?"

"They're not in the tent either, maybe they went out again?"

James crawled through three tents, then came out and shrugged helplessly. "You restrained it too much with the leash before, and as a result, it reverted to its natural instincts once it was back in nature."

"Okay... never mind it, just hope it doesn't bring back anything weird!"

Isaac glanced at the starry sky. "Good night, ladies and gentlemen!"

"Good night!"

The group said goodnight to each other and went into their tents.

late at night.

The campfire had completely died out.

A gentle breeze blew, and specks of ash danced in the air.

"Harlock ...I swear...I will sell you..."

Inside the tent, Isaac mumbled in his sleep, sometimes gritting his teeth, sometimes looking ferocious.

Sulu suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked outside the tent, a bad feeling creeping over him.

'This feeling... supernatural power? Are they really that unlucky? Encountering paranormal events while camping?'

Sulu sighed and rubbed his temples.

Although he is in terrible condition now, he has no problem dealing with first and second-tier undead like Necro-Spirit.

No matter what, these people helped him, and he has to repay them!

'Wait a minute... maybe it's not Wraith...'

Sulu waited a few more minutes, then his expression suddenly became very strange.

"Woof... woof..."

The sound, resembling a wolf's howl mixed with dog barks, seemed somewhat hazy in the night wind.

Rustling!

Beside him, Isaac, who had been fast asleep, suddenly got up, his eyes vacant, and walked out of the tent like a walking corpse.

Sulu thought for a moment, then followed him out.

Immediately, he saw James, Elizabeth, and the others, still in their pajamas, emerge, their expressions blank, moving slowly as they set up a soup pot, tore open the meat bag prepared for tomorrow's meal, and began cooking the fragrant meat and bones. They then placed the meat on a plate and carried it to a large rock.

On the rock, Harlock sat crouching, his eyes gleaming with a deep blue light, like a lord surveying his territory, enjoying the 'offerings' of his subjects!
