Chapter 52 Keshas routine, the Demon Emperor and Sky Elder!
The 800-year-old Rune Book - "Annion Rune Book" actually contains the soul power of Elder Sky, which surprised Ren.
This also seems to confirm that Anion, the famous "Mage Sage" who left behind in the Fifth Age, and the current Elder Sky are the same person.
However, some things are not as simple as Ren thought.
Elder Tian's shadow floated above the rune book. After hearing his words, he shook his head and said:
"Young man, I am just the tool spirit of this book, and I only imitate the appearance of my maker, the mage sage Anion."
Weapon spirit?
Renn looked surprised.
This was different from what he had guessed. He thought it was the projection of Elder Sky, or a split soul, but he didn't expect it to be just a weapon spirit.
Soldier souls or weapon spirits are rare.
Usually, the minimum standard of a holy weapon must be met before a weapon spirit can be born.
Whether a weapon or item can produce a weapon spirit depends on many factors, such as the material of the weapon, the method of refining, the manufacturer's wishes, etc.
Many top-level sacred weapons with a long history do not have weapon spirits.
The top ten supreme holy weapons of the Vampire Clan, such as "Scarlet Cloak", "Virtual Mirror", "Ruxue Sect", "Silver Holy Grail", etc., all have no weapon spirit.
Originally, most of these sacred artifacts had artifact spirits, but they had existed for too long, and their owners might have changed. Some new users didn't like to miss the artifact spirits of the old owners, and they thought it was a hidden danger, so they erased them.
For example, the "Virtual Mirror", after the Bloody Queen obtained this supreme holy weapon, she erased its spirit.
On the contrary, some ordinary holy weapons may have weapon spirits, but their spiritual intelligence will not be too high.
A famous gun must have a weapon spirit (gun soul), and the gun soul cannot be erased. In other words, erasing the gun soul is equivalent to destroying the famous gun.
"Are you considered a top-notch holy weapon?"
Ren En looked at the weapon soul that looked like Elder Tian attentively, and a silver light flashed in his eyes.
According to the observation of the "Eye of Deception", this soul shadow is indeed not someone's projection or soul. In order to confirm the situation, he also threw a level detection towards the rune book.
[Hint: The target is a semi-artifact soul...]
Although the spirit of the rune book looks like Elder Tian, his emotions and expressions are very stiff, with a cold mechanical feel, and he says:
"You can understand that I am not a divine weapon."
Ren frowned slightly when he heard this.
So, it was this book that scared Natalia, the "Witch of Doom" away, in the first place?
Moreover, above the sacred weapons, there are semi-sacred weapons, divine weapons.
These thoughts flashed through Ren's mind and asked: "Can you fight on your own?"
"Yes, but if no one provides the force, we can't fight for too long. Moreover, I can only deal with the lower saints at most, because I am not a weapon." Book Spirit said.
Can you only deal with lower saints?
Ren was a little surprised, but also felt that it was reasonable. The rune book was not a combat weapon. Its main function was to record and teach rune knowledge.
"So, it wasn't you who scared away Natalia, the Witch of Doom?"
"Sorry, I don't know what you are talking about." Book Spirit shook his head.
"have no idea?"
"Yes, I sleep most of the time. I will only wake up when you open this rune book."
Moreover, when the book is usually placed in the storage ring, it cannot sense the outside world and does not know that Ren has encountered the Witch of Doom.
"..."
Ren's face twitched, it turned out that he was just being sentimental.
He also thought that Elder Sky's ghost or projection had been hiding in this rune book, secretly spying on him 24 hours a day...
Just thinking about this situation makes my scalp numb.
But at the moment, it seems that people from the Natural School do not have much direct contact with him.
Ren thought about it and asked:
"The Witch of Doom calls me the Star Child. Does the Natural School know this?"
"Of course, Catherine Bernard Blois is an important part of the god-making plan. As soon as you came into contact with her, you were noticed by the Natural School, the Feuerbach family and the Blois family... She is the Scarlet Moon
, you are the son of the stars." The spirit of the book said.
This passage contains too much information.
The Feuerbach family is the descendant of the Sun King, rules the Nokman Empire, and is one of the oldest and most prominent families on the continent.
The Blois family, an ancient ducal family, developed from a certain descendant of the strongest human being, the goddess of the moon.
Ren's expression was astonished, and he said hurriedly:
"Plan to create a god? Which way?"
"The third way, according to Princess Kesha's observation, your force can have a supporting role. This is probably an important reason why she likes you."
"...And who is Catherine?"
"Like Princess Kesha, she is the Blood Queen's avatar and the cornerstone of the Trinity's path to becoming a god. Essentially, they are different aspects of the same person."
Renn: "..."
Σ(°△°|||)︴
Now, everything seems to be clear.
Because of his chance encounter with Miss Catherine, he probably came into the sight of some big shots very early.
This has nothing to do with divination or prophecy. It's just that he and Catherine got too close. At that time, he even lived in her villa...
Some strange things that seemed unbelievable at the time are understandable now.
Catherine said she liked him and wanted to be his girlfriend, but she suddenly returned to her hometown and never returned. Soon after, her cousin Keisha came over to fall in love with him.
At that time, Ren thought she was being smart, but now that she thinks about it, she just changed her vest.
Kesha also said ambiguously that the sisters could serve him together, but the fact is...
"grass!"
Ren cursed in a low voice.
How can there be two sisters? They are essentially the same person. No wonder they are so generous.
Kesha had been teasing him before, but he was kept in the dark and was still complacent.
Ren had ten thousand grass and mud horses in his heart, so he resisted the urge to run to the Nokman Empire and spank Keisha, and asked:
"What is the third way?"
"Ask Princess Kesha. She warned me not to allow me to interfere too much and affect your growth... so I have never appeared in front of you before." Book Spirit said.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Renn's eyes were a little surprised.
Kesha knew about the existence of "Annion Rune Book" because it was originally given to him by Catherine... and at her request, the spirit of the book, which should have appeared on its own initiative long ago, remained silent and had no interaction with him.
communicate.
"Then the Natural School didn't come to contact me, is it because of Kesha?" Ren asked.
"Yes, when we first discovered the Star Child by chance, we wanted to send someone to invite you to join the Natural School, but Princess Kesha refused.
According to the contract signed by the Blood Queen, the Natural School, the Feuerbach family and the Blois family, we cannot interfere with the growth of the Blood Queen's reincarnated soul, and we are not qualified to interfere with her private life."
Renn: "..."
So that's the case, no wonder people from the Natural School haven't had much contact with him.
The spirit of the book continued:
"It's not just the Natural School. You have grown to this point and are extremely talented. But do the top leaders of the Demon Hunter Association often visit you and pay attention to you?"
Renn: "..."
When I think about it, it seems so.
A while ago, he met with Vice President "Magic Gun" Carragher, and the whole meeting took less than three minutes.
In addition, he has never even seen a fifth-level titled demon hunter!
It sounds incredible, but it is the fact. It is as if the fifth-level titled demon hunters at the headquarters of the Demon Hunter Association have collectively ignored him, and no one has come to visit or make friends with him.
He, the continent's number one genius, was as if he belonged to someone else's family.
Now that I think about it, could it be Kesha’s intention again?
The founders of the Demon Hunter Association are the Sun King and the Blue Sword Master. The Sun King proposed to set up a hunting force to specifically punish demons who use the cover of night to commit crimes against humans...
Renn touched his chin and said:
"Why doesn't she allow the Natural School and the Feuerbach family to have contact with me?"
The Spirit of the Book said calmly: "I'm not sure. My master Anion and the Blood Queen were enemies. Although we have reached cooperation on the god-making plan, she doesn't trust us that much...
Regarding your growth, she arranged it single-handedly and does not allow anyone to interfere too much.
Originally, she wanted to take this rune book with her, but she just thought you could use it, so she allowed me to stay here, but she couldn't show up on my own initiative."
Renn: "..."
This desire for control is a bit scary.
It felt like he was clearly arranged by Kesha.
Thinking about it now, she did witness all the way and arranged his growth path.
He was promoted to the fourth level, Kesha provided key resources, and then she obtained a token from Princess Sophie, allowing him to obtain part of the inheritance of the Demon Slaying Art in Wilton City, and the rune book was also provided by Catherine...
The pretty boy is actually me.JPG
Ren's face twitched a few times, recalling the fear of being completely dominated by his girlfriend in the early days of his relationship.
He always felt that he had conquered Kesha and was the head of the family, but now he saw that he was still in Kesha's palm...
The person who scared away the Witch of Doom also has an answer. According to the spirit of the book, Catherine has been protected secretly after she ran away from home.
That person is the fifth-level titled demon hunter - "Blooded Blade" Bordon.
Bordon is very powerful. He is over 300 years old and is a senior titled demon hunter. About 150 years ago, he competed with "Magic Spear" Carragher for the position of vice president of the Demon Hunter Association. But in the last period,
He lost to Carragher in the first round of voting.
He had a bad temper and quit the association in anger.
However, he is part of the Feuerbach family and still serves the empire.
"It turned out to be him."
Ren muttered to himself.
He was no stranger to this man. He had purchased a copy of Blood Blade Bordon's swordsmanship secret book and was deeply impressed by his superb swordsmanship skills.
With Bordon's strength, he can indeed scare away the Witch of Doom.
According to Ren's observation, "Witch of Doom" Natalya is level 26 in the domain and level 21 in the holy body, which is not very strong among the mid-level saints.
Witches are not a head-on combat class and are not good at encounters. They are vaguely restrained by the Witcher class.
Ren rubbed his face, feeling a little guilty when he thought about his fiancée's background and tricks. He looked at the book and said:
"In your eyes, am I just a pretty boy being kept by a rich woman?"
The spirit of the book said calmly: "Be content. Many people are still unable to be pretty boys. If they are favored by the Bloody Queen, you can save a hundred years of hard work."
Renn: "..."
( ̄e(# ̄)
Got it, now he understood everything.
He is from the Witcher Guild x
He is a naturalist x
He is the pretty boy kept by the Blood Queen√
The path he has taken is all Her Majesty's routine...
After asking some more questions, Ren closed the rune book and put it into the storage ring.
Then, he exhaled a thick breath and fell on the sofa like a salted fish that had lost its dream, with Kesha's voice and smile in his mind.
"Boss, why are you so listless?"
The space door opened, and Nana poked a little head out of the blue vortex, shook his arm, "It's time to fertilize the World Tree again."
"oh."
Ren was so excited that he came back from missing his fiancée.
The space door opened to a height of two meters, and he stepped into his own domain space.
The realm in the level 26 peak is even more amazing than before. There is a piece of loess under the feet, and above the head is a beautiful starry night scene. Countless shining stars are like a condensed Milky Way, penetrating the endless starry sky, and there is a vague blood fire at the top.
The burning plain.
Ren entered the second level of the realm "Infinite Arms". In the silent wilderness, blood and fire were burning, and there were countless swords, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons stuck on the ground.
In the center of the wasteland, there is a seedling.
It is about half a meter tall, with crystal-green branches and many beautiful colorful leaves growing on it. Each leaf is as crystal-clear as jade, emitting seven colors: black, white, green, red, blue, yellow and transparent light.
"It took more than a month and countless resources were consumed to grow to half a meter."
When Ren saw this tree, he felt heartbroken.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I feel sorry for his gradually drying up wallet.
The world tree cannot be successfully cultivated until it has grown to one meter. According to this progress, it will take at least one and a half months. During this period, watering and fertilizing must not be stopped.
Renn walked to the World Tree and asked: "Have the flesh and blood of the corpses of Yanshan and the Ghoul Duke been exhausted?"
"Gone."
Nana pointed to a few bones on the ground and said, "Look, the bones and residue are almost gone."
There were some bluish-white roots wrapped around those white bones. The bones were as dry and cracked as dried dead wood, densely filled with holes, and would probably break with just a slight touch.
As for the pieces of flesh and blood, they have long been digested.
Renn: "..."
Knocking on the bones and sucking out the marrow, the absorption is really clean.
Those who knew it were World Tree saplings, but those who didn’t know it thought it was some kind of man-eating flower.
A totem holy body and the body of a Dark Duke served as fertilizer and only lasted for more than ten days. This did not include the consumption of the Fountain of Resurrection.
Ren's face twitched, and he took out materials such as the Thunder Tribulation Black Willow Wood, the Small Ice Soul Crystal, the Fengqing Ghost Cracked Stone, and the corpse of the flaming giant wolf, and asked Nana to put them into the small warehouse nearby.
Then he took out two metal buckets from the storage ring, and the buckets were filled with the Fountain of Resurrection.
Nana poured the resurrection spring in the bucket into the watering can and used it to water the saplings.
Being watered by the resurrecting spring containing rich vitality, the World Tree seemed to be cheering, its crystal green branches trembling slightly and stretching out, its leaves flashing with colorful light.
Ren also threw the body of a giant flaming wolf under the tree trunk.
The root system of the World Tree is very special, some are solid, some are illusory, and have different functions. Some of the golden roots are in the soil, some of the bluish-white roots are on the ground, and some extend like an illusory regular god chain.
Above the wasteland and in the sea of stars below.
Soon, the bluish-white roots on the ground of the World Tree wrapped around the body of the flaming giant wolf, slowly piercing into the flesh and blood.
The corpse of the giant wolf slowly shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the nutrients in the flesh and blood were decomposed and absorbed by the roots.
puff!
Ren cut his wrist with the magic knife, and there was a flash of blood. The bright red blood with a light golden luster flowed and sprinkled on the branches.
After a round of irrigation and fertilization, some colorful buds sprouted from the crystal branches of the World Tree, and the leaves were filled with a beautiful luster like diamonds, making it look extremely magical.
Nana used a golden meter ruler to measure the height of the tree. She suddenly puffed up her face and said:
"It's too slow. He is such a greedy little ancestor. He invested 180,000 gold coins in order to grow up to this point."
Renn also has a big head.
On the way to the royal capital, Wisteria City, he killed Yanshan, a ghoul prince, as well as the Night Clown and many elite members of the ghoul clan, earning 70,000 gold coins.
But compared with the consumption of World Tree, 70,000 gold coins is too little.
Buying two barrels of the Spring of Resurrection will cost 20,000 gold coins, and the two barrels of spring water can only be used for five or six days.
This is just watering and does not include fertilizer.
If he hadn't obtained five boxes of silver and iron from Trena, worth 300,000 gold coins, he would have been too poor to open the door.
Even so, if it continues like this, it won't last long.
"Boss, where are the blood core and blood wings on the vampire prince's clone? Take them out and feed them to the saplings. They should be able to sustain them for a while."
Nana pointed to the small warehouse next to her where the "fertilizer" was stored, and said with a sad face, "Otherwise, those low-level fertilizers are not as effective as Yanshan's Fire Ghost Holy Body, and I'm afraid they won't even last a week."
Regardless of the fact that the boss was shopping on the black market this time, he bought a lot of fertilizer.
But these fertilizers are obviously not as nutritious as the Fire Ghost Holy Body. The flesh and blood of the saint is a very high-grade material, and the corpse of the flaming giant wolf cannot compare.
"The blood core and blood wings have been sent to my sister. She also wants to cultivate the World Tree seedlings... She has been busy with the selection of saints recently and has no time to make money." Renn spread his hands helplessly.
He not only provides for himself, but also provides for his sister.
Just for daily practice, the two middle saints will consume a lot of resources, plus they have to cultivate two World Tree seedlings...
That's really a waste of money, and the consumption is extremely terrible.
Nana tilted her little head, looked up at the boss, and sighed:
"Boss, in order to save money, I have decided not to eat exotic animal meat from now on. This can save a lot of gold coins."
If this continues, the boss may go bankrupt.
I can’t put more burden on my boss...
Thinking this, Nana touched her belly with a determined look on her face.
She won’t eat meat anymore!
Renn: "..."
Not to the point, not to the point of.
He reached out and touched Nana's little head and said with a smile:
"No, no, I'm not so poor that I can't open the pot. I still have to eat the meat of exotic animals, so that Nana can grow taller quickly."
Even if you face the oppression of life, you must face it with a smile. No matter how hard it is, you can't hurt your children.
Poverty is revealed in the smile.JPG
Unable to stay in Wisteria City any longer, Ren decided to leave the city quickly, otherwise he would be left with nothing and he might not be able to afford Nana's food rations after a while.
Although he could also live on a soft diet, and Eileen was not short of money, that would be too cowardly.
He would rather fight with the Eternal Life Sect to obtain resources than take advantage of his lover.
Ren touched Nana's little head and said calmly: "Let's leave the city in a few days."
His wallet... well, his machete is thirsty.
I hope that the arrogant and domineering Eternal Life Sect will never give in or bluff, and must gather enough people to kill him.
These days, whether a nouveau riche can prosper depends entirely on the support of the enemy.
In a word, if he is a brother, come and chop him down.
…………
Melova City, Daffodil Street, Wilson Manor.
Afternoon, dusk.
Lucy stood alone in the winding promenade by the lake, looking at the sparkling lake surface, and dropped a handful of bait.
Wow~
A group of carp suddenly swam over, fighting for food, causing waves of water to fill the lake.
Lucy was a little absent-minded, staring at the lake with a pair of bright, watery eyes. The breeze blew her dreamy silver hair, and she looked like a fairy in a flower.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seemingly tired, she left the lakeside promenade and entered a beautiful small garden with hundreds of flowers blooming on one side.
What surprised her was that there were people at the stone table. There were no visitors today.
He was wearing an old gray robe, his back was turned to her, and he was carrying large and small bags.
Lucy was startled. She put the two fingers of her right hand together, condensed the green light force slightly, and said tentatively:
"Who are you?"
Incredibly, this manor has restrictions and formations set up by her biological father, Elder Eric of the Natural School.
Ordinary middle-rank saints cannot sneak in quietly.
The man heard the sound and turned around.
His face is a bit old, his features are sharp and angular, as if they were carved with a knife and an axe, and there are some wrinkles on his face, but he still looks heroic.
"grandfather?!"
Lucy's eyes widened and she covered her mouth in surprise.
Elder Tian Tian smiled heartily, picked up a cloth bag on the ground, placed it on the stone table, and took out two fruits from it.
The shape of the fruit is very similar to a gourd, with an earthy yellow skin, a few circles of brown patterns on it, and mud attached to it, as if it had just been fished out of the ground.
Elder Tian Tian smiled kindly and waved: "Girl Lucy, grandpa is here to see you, come and eat melon."
Lucy: "..."
Whose vegetable garden did you go to harm again this time?
Lucy walked over, took a closer look, and said in a voiceless voice: "Earth Vein Spirit Fruit?!"
Earth Vein Spirit Fruit, also known as Earth Dragon Pearl, is a very rare extraordinary material. As long as one is eaten, a strong man at the beginning of the fifth level can break through to the fifth level.
This fruit is produced in the core hinterland of Qiushan Kingdom, where there is an Earth Mother Tree. Every four to five hundred years, several Earth Dragon Balls can grow from its roots.
However, this mother tree in the center of the earth has an owner, and it is a very terrifying owner.
Elder Tian Tian sat on the stone bench and said with a smile on his face:
"My dear granddaughter, go get a bucket of water. Grandpa will peel the gourd fruit for you to eat. Look at you, you have become a little hungry and thin over the years."
"Grandpa↑grandpa↓"
Regardless of her ladylike image, Lucy put her hands on her hips and said with a pretty face, "I've told you many times not to steal other people's things. The eight-winged abyss dragon has signed a contract with the human camp, and both parties will not interfere with each other. You
It's so easy..."
The Mother Tree in the Earth's Core is the treasure guarded by the eight-winged Abyss Demonic Dragon, the overlord-level Beast King who is more powerful than some dark monarchs.
The Earth Dragon Ball is one of the dragon's favorite foods and is not allowed to be touched by outsiders.
Therefore, although they know that the Earth Dragon Pearl is a rare treasure, not many people dare to take a chance on it.
The strongest human beings rarely provoke that demonic dragon. Not only is it extremely powerful, but the Kingdom of Kau Son is also one of the strongholds of alien beasts on the Saigon continent.
The magic dragon restrains the beast kings and beast kings in the central region of the continent, preventing them from invading human towns. This is also the fundamental reason why high-level alien beasts are rarely seen attacking humans.
Hearing this, Elder Tian Kong shrugged and said casually: "I got five or six fruits this time, so I stole...and took away two. It doesn't matter, I'm not that stingy."
Lucy: "..."
(¬?¬), they are not so generous, and...
She pointed to a dozen cloth bags on the ground and said with a headache:
"Does this mean you only got two fruits?"
Elder Tian Tian smiled coquettishly, rubbed his hands, looked at the bag full of treasures on the ground in surprise, and said:
"Huh? Why is there a bag here? Did the wind blow it on me?"
Lucy: "..."
Oh my god.
She stretched out her hand to cover her face. Could it be that all the treasures guarded by the magic dragon had been looted?
I hope the dragon won't go crazy with anger and start a war with humans.
Lucy took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Grandpa, when you stole things, were you not discovered?"
If it is not discovered, the demon dragon may not necessarily suspect humans, because the demon may also steal its treasures.
Elder Tian Tian chuckled, took out a strange piece of clothing decorated with black feathers and down, and put it on. Then he stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, turning it into the face of a young man. He said in a low voice:
"A few beast kings saw me. I did it on purpose. But, what does the Demon Lord Samael stealing the Dragon Ball have to do with me, Anion?"
Lucy: "..."
(一`′一)
She had nothing to say.
If you really have some moral integrity, your grandfather would not have a bad reputation within the Natural School.
Anyone who knows him knows how deceitful he is.
Lucy sat on another stone bench beside the table, dragging her chin with her hand and pouting: "Grandpa, isn't this your true body?"
"no."
Elder Tian Kong shook his head, his expression straightened, his eyes looked up into the sky with a sharp look, and he said, "An old friend blocked me in space."
"Are you okay?"
Lucy was startled and looked worried.
Grandpa is very strong.
But because of this, his enemies are also very strong.
Elder Tian Tian shook his head and said, "It's okay. By the way, he and I haven't seen each other for hundreds of years."
It's not time for the decisive battle yet.
…………
Space, lunar surface.
The moon is full of desolation, with mountains crisscrossing it, and craters and exposed rocks dotted everywhere.
More than 800 years later, the huge palm prints left by the conquerors are still clearly visible and are the largest landform feature on the moon.
A figure wrapped in black robes stood on the moon.
He stood there, like a black sun, swallowing up the sky and the earth, wiping out the pressure of all things, making half of the moon dim, endless, majestic and deep dark force surrounding him like billions of gray
The silken light surged up, and the influence of this traction was extremely wide, almost controlling the movement of the force of the entire planet!
Unimaginable horror.
In front of him, the moon seemed a little fragile.
"William, you left too."
The man in black robe stood at the center of the palm print on the moon and sighed, his voice filled with endless vicissitudes of life and some regret.
Click! Click!
Not long after, a white light flashed on the moon, and powerful magic power tore through the space.
Elder Sky held a black warrior sword, stepped out of the crack in space, and stood several hundred meters away in front of the man in black robe.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He said expressionlessly: "Original Lord of Darkness, you appeared too early this time."
The identity of the man in black robe is about to be revealed. The original Lord of Darkness is the Demon Emperor Asmodeus.
The Demon King was wrapped in a black robe embroidered with gold. Hearing his words, he chuckled:
"Didn't you also unblock it in advance? Master Anion, I almost know your origin. You are a descendant of Bolage.
No wonder, so to speak, you are considered a remnant of the Elf Empire."
Borage, the legendary "ancestor of runes", the rune system used by humans and some alien races, is the Borage rune.
There are rumors that Bolag is a collective name for a group of scholars, not a single person, but the Demon Emperor's words seem to prove that there is indeed such a person.
Anion's expression remained unchanged, he smiled slightly and said:
"Remnants of the Elf Empire? What qualifications do you outsiders have to say such things?"
Demon descendants are not creatures native to this world, they come from a more distant world.
Asmodeus was silent for a moment, standing with his hands behind his hands, the black robe on his body rolling like the endless night, and said:
"I'm tired of meaningless arguments and don't want to argue with you sharp-tongued scholars.
Oh, your strength seems to have declined. In the last era, you were even more powerful than this...are you trying a new approach?"
"That's right."
Elder Tian Tian spoke calmly and stared at the Demon King, "Also, I have no interest in fighting your clone."
"It's been seen."
The Demon King chuckled lightly and said, "That's right. In front of a guy like you with hundreds or even thousands of vests, my ability to clone is not enough."
"You brought me here just to show off your clone?"
"No, I'm not that boring."
Under the black hood, the Demon Emperor's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Annion, I just want to ask you, did Audrey betray the dark camp?"
