Chapter 959 Nightmare Dragon Claw

Lu Yu could understand Elena's worries. After all, he could not explain his strength in such a short period of time.

"I'll just send you back. You don't have to worry about the rest. I'll take care of it."

Elena nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.

"Oh, right," Helen asked again. "Elena, how long more before you turn 18?"

Elena counted on her fingers. After being locked in the cell for a few months, her concept of time was a little chaotic.

"I should be turning 18 this year. Maybe... in another month? Or two months? I'm not sure."

She smiled awkwardly.

"I really want to see what happens after your awakening. I want to see if it's as I said. If you could master hundreds of abilities, wouldn't you be invincible?"

Helen flipped through her records. She had recorded everything that had happened along the way. She sat in the carriage and slowly recalled them.

Shirley sat in the carriage and looked at the scenery outside the window. She smiled faintly from time to time.

The Empress sat in a corner, wiping her dagger and tightening her belt from time to time.

The long wait in the carriage was very boring. Even if Lu Yu took out his phone, there was nothing to look at.

He could only sit there in a daze and occasionally open the map to take a look at the terrain.

Time passed quickly, and the carriage was about to reach West Court City; more carriages could be seen on the surrounding roads.

There were nobles riding horses and preparing to go hunting, including some caravans transporting goods. 

"There are more and more people. It seems that we are almost there."

"Is there a branch of the Dolan family in West Court City?" Lu Yu asked.

Elena nodded slightly. "Of course. We have a manor in West Court City. It's beautifully decorated and has a calm environment. You can stay there for a while."

"Besides, my cousin is there too. I can go and find him to tell my father the news."

"Is that so? Great, we don't have to live in a shabby inn this time."

Although this was a place stuck in ancient times, it was a noble manor after all. The living conditions shouldn't be too bad.

The carriage entered the city and stopped at the entrance of the relay station.

Lu Yu and the others got out of the carriage one after another. They stood on the bustling street and looked at the rows of houses and the crowded sidewalk.

"It's still so lively, just like the last time I left."

Elena looked at the familiar city and felt much happier.

"Let's go. I'll take you to the Dolan family's manor."

She took the lead, and Lu Yu and the others followed behind.

After all, it was their first time in this city. If they walked alone, they would definitely get lost.

The size of this city was about the same as a third-tier city in the Freedom Federation.

It was definitely considered a metropolis here. After all, the population of the entire empire wasn't that huge—only less than 500 million people.

Lu Yu felt like he was walking on the streets of medieval Europe.

He followed Elena through a few streets and soon arrived at the gate of the manor.

Through the iron gates, Lu Yu could see the entire manor. It was indeed beautiful and had a dream-like garden. It would be comfortable to live here for the time being.

Helen and Shirley were both excited. Although they were not from ordinary families, compared to the Dolan family, their families were 'poor'.

Only the Empress was still as calm as usual. As the ruler of a country, she naturally wasn't too interested in this small manor.

Elena stood in front of the door and looked at the guard. "Open the door. I'm here to find my brother!"

"And you are?"

"You even know me? I'm Elena, Herke's cousin!"

"Wait, isn't Elena already dead?"

The guard felt strange and looked at Elena curiously.

"Don't curse me! I was kidnapped! Open the door! I want to go in!"

After the guard carefully identified Elena, he was surprised to find that it was indeed her.

"Miss! You're back!"

He quickly opened the door. "Baron Herke has been looking for you for a long time. Please go and see him."

Elena quickly ran along the stone path to the villa's door and knocked on it.

"Who is it?"

A deep male voice came from the room.

"Take a guess!"

The door of the villa opened, and Herke, who had his hair combed back and was wearing a noble's gown, walked out.

"Elena, it really is you! When I heard your voice, I thought I heard wrong."

He looked at Elena in disbelief. He even thought that he had misjudged and rubbed his eyes.

"Brother, it's all thanks to them that I can come back to see you!"

She turned around and looked at Lu Yu and the others. She smiled and said, "It was because these people saved me that I had the chance to come back. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would never see you again."

"Is that so? Please come in."

He quickly looked at Lu Yu and said it with a smile.

He hugged Elena to celebrate their reunion.

Lu Yu greeted him, saying, "Hello, I'm an adventurer. I just happened to be in Sandstorm Town, and I accidentally saved Elena there."

"Really? Thank you. You did a good job."

He patted Lu Yu's shoulder and let him enter.

They entered the villa, and Lu Yu sat on the sofa in the living room.

Herke asked the servant to make a pot of coffee and place it on the table.

"Elena, tell me, what's the situation?"

"I was captured by the Orlando family. They want to kill me!"

Elena complained angrily.

"Is that so? These bastards deserve to die. How dare they provoke our Dolan clan!"

"What else?"

"Also, the Demon Blood Lord, he..."

Lu Yu coughed and interrupted Elena. "That's it. The Orlando family is guilty and should be punished."

"No problem. I'll get someone to tell Father and ask them to send someone to the Orlando family to demand an explanation!"

Herke turned around and left.

Looking at his departing figure, Lu Yu suddenly felt that something was amiss.

As for what it was, he could not tell.

Suddenly, at this moment, a voice rang in Lu Yu's mind.

"Herke lied. He's guilty. There's something wrong with him."

This voice belonged to the Nightmare Dragon.

"Hey, what do you mean?"

"Master, there's something wrong with this guy. He wants to appear enthusiastic, but in fact, his concerns are faked."

"Therefore, if possible, let me sneak into his dreams at night and probe into his real thoughts."

"Really? You have this ability?"

"Of course," the Nightmare Dragon declared proudly. "But soon, you will have the same ability."

"The longer our contract remains, the more your Nightmare Dragon Claw will evolve. At that time, you will have a portion of my abilities and can use them as you please."
