I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

Hearing this, Count Dracula lamented, "I thought I could get some delicious food by helping out once, but I didn't expect that Miss Manjushage was all part of her plan. It seems that I was worrying too much."

Manjushage laughed and said, "It's only been a few days, and you've already eaten all the food I gave you? Count Dracula is just like Pal said, a glutton!"

Hearing this, Dracula William lowered his head in shame.

Even though vampires can't blush, it's clear how embarrassed he is.

"Come to think of it, why isn't Pal with you?" Manjushage said.

"To be honest, I don't know what Doyle has been busy with recently. We have lived together for decades, and I have never seen him do anything so mysterious that he even hid it from me."

Dracula William's words were full of jealousy: "Otherwise, when I felt that thing appear, I would definitely go to find him first. Why would I come here alone?"

It sounded like a young wife who was alone in an empty house. Manjushage laughed happily, but then she noticed something else: "Did you sense the dangerous item you mentioned before?"

"Yes, my reaction was exactly the same as last time. This time there was a deer-head gem, and my feeling was very clear. However, there was a little deviation in the beginning. At first I thought it was this girl, and I almost wanted to catch her. Fortunately, the real murderer was nearby, so I didn't make a fool of myself and saved her life in the process. It can be regarded as a small compensation for this misunderstanding." Count Dracula said.

Marianne nodded stiffly. Although she didn't know what Ruthmary had in her hand, the fear of death she felt at that time was very real.

If Dracula had not intervened in time to help her get rid of the aura, and then summoned a mouse like a magic trick to divert Ruthmary's attention, she would probably have died on the spot.

Lycoris radiata felt vaguely that this scene looked somewhat familiar.

When she first found Marian, she also used magic to sense that this girl seemed to have some characteristics of dark magic, so the healing effect of blood magic was particularly effective for her.

If it had been anyone else, even the best therapist wouldn't have been able to pull Marianne back from the brink of death.

Although Manjushage said she knew Ruthmary's whereabouts very well, Marian was still a little worried: "Is it really okay? The thing in her hand seems very dangerous."

Count Dracula also echoed: "Yes, it is really hard to keep such a threat around. It is better to get rid of her now just in case."

Manjushage shook her head and said, "If we act now, there will be endless trouble. Ruthmary is just a minor character. I learned from Olivia that Donna and her family don't have that kind of magic weapon. That extremely dangerous item may have been obtained from someone else. If we don't take this opportunity to find out who is behind it, I'm afraid there will be even greater trouble in the future."

She was now certain that the original owner's madness was largely caused by others. After all, after her collapse, Luo Shiqi lost the person he trusted most and was extremely prone to losing control. He could easily turn the Kingdom of Aslan upside down.

If that person's goal is to cause chaos, attacking Manjusaka is the best choice.

It’s a pity that the mastermind behind the scenes hid himself too well. If Donna and Ruthmary hadn’t revealed the flaws, Manjushage probably wouldn’t have noticed anything unusual at all.

Winning over Olivia was only the first step in self-protection. After all, the only clue now was in the power struggle within the Peters family, and she was at the center of the vortex, making it easiest for her to find some clues.

After listening to Manjushage's analysis, Count Dracula looked solemn and said, "It seems that things are indeed more complicated than we thought. I made a mistake. If there are any abnormalities in the future, I will pay more attention. Miss Manjushage, please take care to protect yourself."

"Of course. Thank you for your care, Count." Manjusawa was very grateful. If it weren't for Dracula's help, she would still be kept in the dark.

Count Dracula stood up and was about to leave. Before he left, he asked, "I'm actually a little curious. How did you manage to keep track of that guy's whereabouts? Even if you followed him the entire time, I'm afraid there would be times when you missed something or were lax."

"that is because……"

"What! You used your own blood to water the tree?" Early the next morning, Doyle's shout shook the sky.

"Don't make a fuss," Manjushage said calmly, "It's not real bloodletting. I've said it many times. It's the overflow of magic power, just like when people defecate in the toilet. The overflowing magic power will spread unconsciously. I have been taking care of the Renas tree for a long time, and I have developed a connection with blood."

In the backyard of the Star Flower Castle, there is a tall, sturdy, blood-red tree. All of the Star Flower family's sun wine, syrup, desserts and various foods are mixed with a little juice of the Renas tree, or brewed directly from the leaves.

It is said that as long as the raw materials contain a little ingredient related to this tree, they will become extra delicious, which is equivalent to a universal seasoning.

Doyle's favorite things are the sun wine and syrup brewed from leaves, but the syrup will affect his bodybuilding, so he rarely drinks it.

"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"

Almost everything he ate and drank every day was mixed with Lycoris radiata's blood. Isn't this equivalent to drinking her blood and eating her flesh in disguise? It's horrifying just thinking about it.

Manjushage waved her hands: "The vegetables you eat are grown with fertilizer, why don't you say you want to eat... wuwuwu..."

Doyle quickly covered her mouth: "Please stop talking."

His sense of guilt disappeared completely, replaced by a strange awkwardness:

Isn't this the same as my sister always supporting me? How shameful, how shameful, but what should I do if I like her more? Can you stop looking at Luo Shiqi all the time and care about me more?

Originally, Manjushage had no idea what Doyle was thinking at the moment, but Doyle insisted on coming so close to her and covering his mouth so tightly. The same blood between the two siblings immediately made her understand what Doyle was thinking about writing, so she couldn't help laughing, but with her mouth still covered, she almost choked to death.

"So, when you poured the medicine into Ruthmary's mouth last time, it was actually equivalent to still casting the tracking magic on her?"

After a while of playing around, the two started talking about business again. Doyle finally understood why Lycoris radiata still kept Ruthmary in the castle after she had done all kinds of unbearable things.

I'm afraid that without Ruthmary's rebellion, they would now be at the mercy of the mastermind.

However, just as the brother and sister were carefully considering what to do, there was one person who was completely out of the picture, and that was Luo Shiqi.

He had no idea what was going on in their conversation, and only caught a few key words: "What is tracking magic? Can I learn it?"

"..."

Manjushage and Doyle were both speechless. It seemed that Luo Shiqi always kept his mission of practicing magic in mind.

But this reminded Manjushage that there was one of the kingdom's top magicians here.

With Luo Shiqi here, there won't be any trouble, at least in the short term.

If you want to take action against her, you will have to spend a lot of effort, after all, Luo Shiqi sticks to Manjusaka every day.

Thinking of this, she calmed down and explained to Luo Shiqi: "People always release weak magic power unconsciously, just like breathing. This is a necessary phenomenon to regulate the magic balance in the body. In actual combat, you can find the opponent's position by analyzing his magic composition, but this is almost impossible to do."

Lycoris radiata understood Ruthmary's movements through the blood left in her body, which went beyond the step of analyzing magic power. After all, no one understood her magic better than her.

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Shiqi was eager to try: "I can give it a try."

Doyle and Manjushage looked at each other in tacit understanding: "Of course."
