Sheryl had changed into a black lace-trimmed gown, which, combined with her pale skin, gave her a gothic beauty.

Sheryl nodded and pushed open the door to enter the room.

Jessica peeked out from around the corner, her heart heavy with reluctance, and asked, "Is this really okay for us?"

Charlize glanced condescendingly at Jessica. "If you don't feel comfortable, you can come in with me!"

Upon hearing this, Jessica quickly shook her head and said, "Then let's not."

in the room.

Lin Bei, dressed in a loose robe, swirled the red wine in his glass. The tablet in front of him was playing an early TV series about 45 years ago that had been taken down from streaming platforms.

He kept commenting, "This director is really daring; if this were happening now..."

Sheryl stopped abruptly as she entered the room. She could faintly hear other people's voices inside, and a figure was vaguely visible through the gauze curtains.

Sherry frowned, thinking: Could it be a midnight snack? But I don't drink human blood.

Lin Bei didn't even turn his head before saying, "Don't just stand there like an idiot, come over here!"

Hearing a familiar voice, combined with previous memories.

At this moment, looking at the room, Cheryl understood the fate she was about to accept.

Sheryl did not find this objectionable.

As the queen of the Kingdom of Nit, who has ruled for nearly a hundred years, Cheryl is very knowledgeable about the affairs among the nobility.

However, this is the first time I've seen something so direct.

Sheryl had just walked to Lin Bei's side when Lin Bei put his arm around her.

'Sweet scent~' Sherry's nose was filled with the alluring fragrance of Lin Bei, and she couldn't help but lick her lips, her previously retracted fangs slowly protruding again.

If it weren't for Sheryl's strong self-control, she might have bitten him.

Lin Bei glanced at Sheryl's current attire and decisively changed the movie.

When the movie was halfway through, the atmosphere in the room reached its peak.

Early the next morning.

Lin Bei walked out of the room listlessly.

The door opposite also opened.

He glanced at Jessica, who still had sleepy eyes, and said, "You didn't sleep all night?"

Jessica said irritably, "How can I sleep with all this noise!"

Where is Charlize?

"I'm going back to bed to catch up on my sleep."

"I see~" Lin Bei smacked his lips and said.

Jessica glanced at Lin Bei's current state, noticing his frequent touching of his neck and his listless appearance, and couldn't help but feel a surge of pleasure. "So, you've finally met your match~"

Lin Bei said unhappily, "I was just caught off guard! I didn't expect her to resort to such tricks."

It sucked almost 500 milliliters of my blood!

-

In the days that followed, as Lin Bei's research progressed further...

Sheryl also began to integrate into the castle.

Every now and then, a scene reminiscent of the Three Heroes battling the Ruble would unfold.

Time flows slowly.

And in the Black Forest.

Thor leaned wearily against a tree root, emptying his water pouch again and again, but not a drop of wine remained.

Meanwhile, the dwarves were also preparing their weapons.

The dwarf Dur frowned and asked, "Who were those soldiers who attacked us just now?"

"Yes, they charged forward without saying a word!"

Thor did know, "The people of Edward's Castle!"

The old dwarf asked doubtfully, "I remember that Edward Castle and Praetor had a good relationship."

Why would they attack us?

Thor couldn't help but smile wryly, "It seems that Edward Castle has changed hands."

You all know about the rebellion that happened more than ten years ago, right?

It is said that a group of people fled during that rebellion and sought refuge in Edward's Castle in order to resist and reclaim the Kingdom of Prellit.

The dwarves, of course, knew about this and began to discuss it.

"The ones who ran away at the beginning were the former cavalry commander, Duke Philip, his men, and his family."

“I heard that Duke Philip’s son William was Snow White’s playmate back then.”

Tom said with a strange expression, "I wonder if our little Duke William will be very surprised when he sees Snow White."

Biss, with an air of profound insight, said, "Surprised? You'll have to bear it. Those nobles are very patient when it comes to interests."

They'd be willing to marry a pig, as long as they could inherit a kingdom.

“That’s right. But I do know that the young duke of Edward Castle is fond of men.”

"Now the people of Edward's Castle kill us on sight, then..."

"Hahaha~ William, the butt seller!"

The old dwarf raised his hand and said, "Alright, stop joking. Our situation is not optimistic. Should we continue exploring or go back to rest and report this matter?"

The dwarves couldn't help but look at Thor.

This also shows that even the older dwarf isn't without brains.

Let Thor make the decision; he'll be the one to take the blame, but if there's a reward, the dwarves will get one too.

Thor, who was worried about not having any wine, immediately decided, "Let's go back! We must report what happened at Edward's Castle!"

After a brief rest, Thor and his companions temporarily halted their exploration of the Black Forest and began their journey back.

at the same time.

On Lin Bei's desk were three reports of attacks on supply convoys.

It wasn't until they hadn't received any supplies that they realized something was wrong. By the time they arrived, the bodies had already been dragged away by wild animals, leaving only some bloodstains.

As for armor and equipment, they had long been looted.

Only a few arrows that were difficult to find were discovered by the searchers.

Based on the arrow's manufacturing process, the murderer was quickly identified.

“Edward Castle.” Lin Bei frowned as he looked at the three investigation reports in front of him.

A simple topographical map immediately flashed through my mind.

There are as many as thirteen countries surrounding the Black Forest.

The Kingdom of Prelit is a country surrounded by the Black Forest.

The ancient road that Lin Bei took when he first transmigrated led to Edward's Castle.

Edward Castle does not belong to any country. Originally, it was a small town that provided adventurers with access to the Black Forest. After hundreds of years of development, it was transformed into a military checkpoint fortress.

This also blocked the gates leading out of the Kingdom of Prellit.

If you were to take other routes through the Black Forest, the difficulty and danger would increase dramatically.

That's why the old king of the Kingdom of Prellit simply gave up.

You can block the way all you want, I'm not going out.

That's just the attitude.

The development of your territory is related to the progress of your own template.

What Duke Edward is doing now is undoubtedly cutting off his own lifeline.

Cutting off a person's life is a matter of dignity.

Lin Bei suddenly slammed his hand on the table, "Bang!"

The stone table collapsed with a crash.

"The Edwardian Castle is going too far!"

Charlize, who was sipping red tea, couldn't help but look at Lin Bei and comfort him, "The kingdom can't organize a large army right now. It can barely recruit two thousand soldiers and four thousand militia."

Lin Bei scoffed, "Those soldiers of the kingdom aren't even worth a handful of my strength!"

This time, I can handle it all by myself!

Charlize's eyes flashed. "What if you get into danger? According to your policy, we can raise an army of 10,000 in just five years. Then, with my black magic, taking Edward Castle will be a piece of cake."

"No need! This scum that isn't even a kingdom thinks it can hold me back for five years!" Lin Bei waved his hand and said, "My mind is made up, I'm leaving now!"

He started walking towards the door.

As she reached the door, she suddenly stopped. "You seem to be plotting something~"

But my gut feeling tells me you mean no harm.

Charlize's eyebrows twitched slightly. "You're overthinking it. I'll take care of the Kingdom of Prellit, so don't worry."

"Really do not have?"

"Really! If you didn't want to go, you should have said so earlier."

There's no need to make up such an excuse.

Lin Bei stared intently at Charlize for a long time, but Charlize remained as aloof and beautiful as ever.

Not noticing anything amiss, Lin Bei turned and left.
