Chapter 329: Chapter 52: The Fledgling Serpent_2 Count Dracula looked up at Jones in a daze for quite a while before he nodded blankly. From a distance, Dora was so excited that tears were streaming down her face, and she kept wiping them away. "Dear! What’s wrong with you?" Only then did the Countess appear with Susan, directly landing beside Count Dracula and transforming into human form. "Why are you here?" "You said you’d be back soon, but I waited all night and you didn’t return. So I came over. What’s going on now?" Count Dracula gently stroked the Countess’s face, remaining silent. "Mother." Standing to the side, Jones bowed to the Countess and said softly, "Please take good care of Father for me." The Countess looked at Jones in shock, then glanced around and nodded blankly. Next, Jones turned to Susan. Susan at this moment appeared as meek as a rabbit, much like her looks, without the slightest hint of arrogance. "Hello, my little cousin." Jones smiled at her and said, "Rest assured, we will never be engaged. No one will force you, and no one can force me." Susan was at a loss for words and could only stare at Jones blankly. ... "Prince, we’ve received news. The young master took some men to help the Lich King’s adopted son in a fight, against people from the Deacon Council." "That rebellious son! He actually went to fight against the Deacon Council?" Prince Louis Sambo stood up angrily, fiercely threw the pen in his hand onto the desk, and then froze for a moment, "Did you say he helped whom in the fight?" "He helped the Lich King’s adopted son, the one who recently ascended, Lich King Gray Gruggle’s adopted son." "What... what happened then? What was the result?" "They won. And the Deacon Council assured they wouldn’t pursue it." "Did the Lich King intervene?" "No, the Lich King didn’t have the chance to act, it was his adopted son, the City Lord of Giant Snake City, who solved it himself." "Oh. Giant Snake City..." Prince Louis Sambo’s eyes flickered as he slowly sat back down, lost in thought. ... "Lord of Lich King! We’ve discovered a hidden group of Blood Clan in the forest!" A bone dragon swooped overhead, driving a large batch of hidden Blood Clan out of the forest and delivered them before Gray. "Who are you?" Gray asked. "We..." "What the hell! Why are you here?" Before the leading Blood Clan could finish, Adelle had already exclaimed. "We came looking for you, young master." "You being here means father already knows I fought with the Deacon Council, right?" "Yes." The leading Blood Clan shrugged helplessly. "It’s over, it’s over! I’m finished!" Adelle started pulling his hair. "Do you need my help to resolve it?" Jones asked from the side. "Uh..." Adelle glanced at Count Dracula in the distance, then at Jones, sighed and answered, "No, I’d better handle it myself. It’s hard for you to help anyway. After all, I couldn’t possibly ask your adoptive father to bring a large group with me to confront him, right? My situation is quite different from yours." "Alright. If you need anything, feel free to find me. Brother." Jones opened his arms wide. Adelle also opened his arms and hugged Jones tightly, "Alright. I won’t be as stubborn as you. If I have trouble and you can help, I’ll definitely ask you." "I’ll certainly help you. Thanks especially for tonight." Jones lightly patted Adelle’s back. "That’s the meaning of Brotherhood, isn’t it?" Adelle also gently patted Jones’s back. ... Keg sat in the distance, pouring a mouthful of wine into his mouth, watching silently. Silhands reached out a hand toward him. "What do you want?" Keg moved the jug in his hand in the opposite direction. "Come on, give me a sip. Seems like we’re following a remarkable lord, shouldn’t we celebrate with some wine?" After hesitating for quite a while, Keg finally handed over the jug, "Just one sip, I don’t have much left." "Consider it borrowed, alright? There will be more later, plenty of it." From afar, they saw Club leading a group of dwarves forming the second squad of the Silver Moon Knight Order, which had expanded from fifty to over two hundred people, riding the dwarf ponies unique to the Ailuo Peninsula. Pointing at the Dwarf Army, Keg said, "This must be the most elite Dwarf Army outside Dwarf Valley. Perhaps someday we can also wear armor." "There should be a chance, Giant Snake City’s Dwarf Army." Silhands wiped his mouth and nodded. ... At dawn, Adelle hurriedly returned to his own castle after wandering all night. It wasn’t that he missed home, but sunrise was imminent and if he didn’t head back now, he’d have to stay the night in Giant Snake City. Sneakingly pushing the door open, he slunk through the hall, preparing to go upstairs. "Stop." A voice suddenly rang out. His foot stopped mid-air, and he could only mechanically turn his head. "Hehe... Father. You haven’t rested yet?" From afar, he saw Prince Sambo sitting in the parlor by the fire, flipping through a book. "Have you been short of money lately?" "Uhh, short of money?" Adelle was dumbfounded by the question. "I asked if you’ve been short of money lately. Answer my question." "Well... Well, Father." "Well? Then why are there two million Gold Coin missing?" Prince Sambo slowly raised his head and glanced at Adelle.
