As night fell, Norn and his family gathered around a pot of stewed beef until it was tender. The rich aroma of the meat filled the air, making the demi-human girls locked in the iron cage swallow hard.
"Father, that fellow Pulsi hasn't returned yet?"
The youngest son asked while eating a soft, creamy bread.
"Shh! How can you talk like that? What if he happens to come back and hears you?" Batel quickly made a shushing gesture to his youngest son.
Norn cut a slice of bread in half, inserted two pieces of beef, and took a bite, his mouth filled with delicious flavor.
This food was bought by Batel this morning in a horse-drawn carriage from a distant village. In addition to the food, he also bought a bag of black smoky powder.
This powder can induce a prolonged coma, and it is the main method used by Batel and his gang to abduct demi-human girls.
"Lord Norn, will this work? I tried putting drugs in his food before, but he wouldn't eat it!"
"Let's give it a try. Anyway, this isn't the main part of our plan. If it works out, there won't be so many problems later."
Norn answered casually, but Bartel was worried, recalling Pulsey's threat to him last night, his right hand constantly kneading the small bag of black lavender powder hidden in his sleeve.
Their plan was to wait for Pulshi to return, and if he wanted stew, Batel would serve him a bowl and then secretly drug him.
Just then, the curtain at the door was lifted, and Pulsi dragged his tired body back.
Norn looked over and saw that his feet were covered in mud, his clothes were covered in dust, his hair was messy with a few leaves stuck in it, and his face looked extremely miserable, as if he had just returned from a funeral.
Batel winked at his two sons, who immediately rushed to the iron pot, grabbing wooden bowls and scrambling for the beef.
"Damn, how can beef be this delicious! I'll eat my fill even if it bursts!"
"Don't try to take my brother's food from me! I'm younger, so I should eat more. You have to give in to me!"
"Wow, I never expected Lord Norn to be such a good cook! He can make beef so delicious. If I weren't too old to eat, I would definitely have another bowl!"
Batel and the others kept flattering him, trying to arouse his appetite, but Pulshi didn't even look at them, sighing as he went into his cave.
Seeing this, the group stopped performing, and Batel reluctantly stuffed the powder back into his pocket.
"What's wrong with this guy today? He looks like I did when my wife died," Batel asked, puzzled.
"Heh, maybe his wife really did die." Norn said, weighing the blood crystal in his arms, and stood up to walk towards Pulshi's cave.
Inside the cave, Pulsi sat cross-legged on the bed, a pile of blood crystals in front of him, his soft sobs echoing around him.
"Waaaaah, no, no, it's not your fault, Katie. It's all my fault. If I could have hit that damn bird, I could have saved Rocky."
"Andy, you're so kind. Thank you for comforting me. I feel much better now."
"What? Mickey! At a time like this, you're still thinking about that kind of thing?!"
Pullshi sighed helplessly, picked up a piece of blood crystal, and kissed it.
"Cough—"
Norn's cough rang out like thunder, startling Pulsey who turned around abruptly. He saw Norn standing smiling at the entrance, quickly wiped away his tears, and glared angrily at Norn.
"What are you doing in here! Get out!"
"Don't be so nervous, I have something good for you."
"Is that the beef stew? I'm not in the mood for anything right now, get out of here!"
"No, it's much more important than that. I heard from Batel that you're a dark magician, right? Then this should be very important to you."
Norn smiled and pulled the blood crystal from his pocket.
When Pullshi saw that captivating red light and that familiar pattern, he instantly recognized her as the wife he had been searching for all day!
"Loki! Quick, give her to me!" Pulsey stretched out his hands eagerly.
Norn tossed it gently, and Pulsey quickly caught it with both hands, hugging it tightly and kissing and nuzzling it, muttering, "I thought I'd never see you again... Where did you find her?"
"When Batel and I went out shopping today, I saw something shiny on the bird's nest. I thought it was some kind of treasure, so I took it down."
It turned out to be a blood crystal. I remembered you're a dark magician, so I brought it back for you.
"You have done very well, Lord Norn," Pullshi nodded in approval.
Norn took the opportunity to close the distance between them and sat down on the edge of Pulsey's bed.
"From what you just said, these blood crystals all have names?"
Norn's question struck a chord with Pulsey, who nodded vigorously and then pointed to his other blood crystals, introducing them one by one.
"They're all so cute!"
"Right? They're absolutely adorable! I've finally met someone who understands me, unlike that jerk Dono, who actually used those cute blood crystals to do that kind of thing!"
At this moment, Pulsi's aloof demeanor completely changed. He became like someone who had met a fellow enthusiast in a niche circle, and began to tell Norn the story and characteristics of each blood crystal.
Norn listened patiently and attentively, occasionally feigning surprise and curiosity, like a cunning person trying to gain favor with an NPC.
However, this whole process did make Pulsey like Norn more and more.
"Ah~ that's really refreshing. This is the first time I've ever talked to someone so much," Pullshi said with a smile.
Seeing an opportunity to interrupt, Norn began to reveal his true intentions:
"Actually, I came to see you not just to bring Rocky back, but also to discuss something with you."
Pulsey: "You say it."
Norn: "I'd like to ask, did you help Battier and the others for money?"
Pullshi: "Of course, the money I was carrying was stolen, and now I don't have a single copper coin on me."
Norn: "That makes things easier. Let me tell you, I used to have over 40,000 gold coins. But because of Batel and the others, that demi-human mistook me for one of them, and I lost all my money. I had no choice but to come here."
"If we can get Batel and the others to release the demi-human girls, I'll take them back to Miguang City, clear my name, and get my money back. How about I give you 10,000 gold coins? That's definitely more than selling those demi-human slaves."
"You want me to help you deal with Batel and his gang?" Pullshi's expression turned thoughtful.
"I don't need you to help me sort things out. You just need to watch from the sidelines. I can handle the three of them."
Pullshi scratched his chin with his right hand, then turned around and stuffed his wives into his purse, saying:
"Deal! You don't need to lift a finger, I'll help you! Consider it a thank you for finding Rocky!"
