"He lied to us!" I looked up at D in disbelief, my voice shaking with shock. The scroll opened, and in my hand was an empty piece of paper.I couldn't believe my eyes.We have gone through a lot of trouble to get the scales of the mermaid, the feathers of the windbird and the tail of the Salamander, but Norm has lied to us.That damned dwarf who deserves a thousand cuts, he's cheating us!At the last minute, we didn't get any tokens from the earth elves! I froze there, and my brain was completely blank like a piece of paper.So when Emily screamed inappropriately again, I was so taken aback that I didn't react at all.

"Someone is coming!" She pointed to the direction behind me, and said with a little panic but full of expectation, "Could it be Siegfried?" I turn around.At some point, a familiar thick fog appeared in the middle of the lawn, and two figures walked out of it. Even if I hadn't just discovered Norm's deception, I'm by no means as optimistic as Emily.I never believed we had such good luck.I took Emily's hand and took a step back, looking at the two shadows vigilantly, I knew they would never be Little S and Sylph. Emily tried to wriggle free from my hand, but her cry of joy died suddenly, as if someone had punched her in the face.Because my guess was unfortunately confirmed, the people who came were not Xiao S and Sylph, although they also came from the "land of evergreens".

The people who came were a man with a swan head and a neck and a woman with a parrot head and neck. They are Heath and Vera. Believe it or not, I'm actually not surprised at all.The doom that had been looming over my head had taken a turn for the worst now, and our situation couldn't have been worse.If the enemy doesn't seize the opportunity to come out quickly, I will feel strange instead. "Long time no see." Heath smiled, "I hope you have had a pleasant journey." "Thanks to you." D curled his lips, "It's not bad." I know what he means.After all that we've been through, it's a blessing that each of us is still alive.Although we are currently "losing" little S, he was never D's concern.Although that doesn't mean he's unnoticed.

"Where's Siegfried?" Emily rushed forward and asked. Heath glanced at her in surprise, "Somewhere in the Land of Evergreens." He narrowed his eyes and looked at her, showing a meaningful smile, "He seems to be fascinated by that little albino bird .” "You bullshit!" Emily yelled. "Then why isn't he with you? When our deep-rooted Mr. D carefully protects our heroine to escape from the banquet hall, when you are dangerously squeezed through the chaotic crowd alone, where is he?" Emily stared at him blankly, her eyes were red. "You're talking nonsense..." she repeated, but her aura had already been lost.I think if she hadn't bit her lip so hard, she would be crying right away.

I reached out and grabbed Emily's crumbling body.I stare at Heath - now he has changed from that swan back to his original shape, into the face of Heath I remember, the face of the "masked" Heath in Mouth D.So much the better.Because if he showed his original appearance, the same face as Lotbar, I don't know what to do. There is no doubt that he saved me in the Land of Evergreens.Because before I get the last token for him as a "collector", he must guarantee my life.But now it is different.It's completely different.I have completed all tasks.The four keepsakes of the elemental elves are in my hand at this moment, close at hand, just like his pocket.

I'm useless to him. My mind was buzzing with the realization that my own death was near.Probably this time it will be true.I think he might put me to death with a wave of his hand casually, just like in the Kingdom of Evergreen, the hurricane brought up by his gestures took the life of the King Vulture soldier in an instant.I took a deep breath and waited quietly. "We'll give you the token and let her go." D said suddenly. Heath looked at him, showing a mysterious smile, "You mean..." "You understand my position." D said, "If your purpose is only to want those four things, you should accept my proposal immediately."

"Otherwise?" Heath tilted his head and looked at him with interest, "Are you planning to officially declare war on me?" D didn't say anything, it seemed that he had acquiesced. "Tsk tsk, I'm so scared." Heath made a grimace, "The title 'Son of the Dragon' sounded really scary back then." "Let her go." D repeated. "Otherwise we will lose both?" Heath put away his smile, seemed to think about it seriously, and finally shrugged helplessly, "Okay, you win!" He said, "Come on, give the token to this lady, you You can go now."

He said the last sentence to me.Heath beckoned to me, then pointed to Vera beside him. I was dumbfounded.I don't believe that D wants to give up everything we have worked so hard for, and I don't believe that Heath agreed to D's request so easily.I stared at the scroll in my hand, realizing again that it was empty.Immediately I rolled it up and tied it tight, and put it in a bag—if we didn't get the goblin's token at all in the end, then these things in the bag are of no use at all.I seem to understand D's painstaking efforts, as long as we can temporarily escape from the situation in front of us, then...

Heath was waving at me.I hesitated, afraid to take a step.Is he serious?Will he keep his word?What if this is another scam? But I have no other choice. As soon as D took a step, Heath blocked him.I must hand over these four tokens to Vera—my best friend once, but now the person who hates me the most in the whole world.On the matter of killing me, even if Heath didn't do anything, I believe she would never hesitate. I took another deep breath and walked over to her. One step away, I saw her golden pupils dilated suddenly, revealing a familiar ruthless look, with a hint of pleasure, and my heart skipped a beat, I knew I was done.I fell into the other party's trap again.

The moment I reached out and handed over the bag containing the four tokens, Vera leaned forward and grabbed my hand tightly.Between her bright red lips, she whispered some Latin words that I couldn't understand. Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang", and I felt a strong air flow rising from under my feet.The strong wind made it hard for me to open my eyes. When I could see, I saw a huge and transparent bubble suddenly appeared on the grass, completely enveloping me, Vera, and Heath.I saw D desperately pounced on the surface of the bubble, but was immediately bounced off by the same force.

Being deceived again, angry, scared and heartache from seeing D's desperate expression, several strong emotions rampage in my heart, I am dizzy and almost fall again. "I'm sorry." A pair of strong arms supported me, and I heard Heath's voice in my ears, "The token of the four elements is just an introduction. What I really need is you, Miss Audrey. Oh no , maybe I should call you, 'Mrs. Dracula'? Although you look a little too young for this title." He habitually lowered his head and kissed my face, as if in the land of evergreens In prison, the swan did the same.I shivered with horror. "But I can assure you that you will leave behind a beautiful corpse." His voice suddenly turned cold, and he let me go. But I didn't fall down.Because suddenly I can't move.My limbs spread out to form a "big" character, and slowly floated into the air, like a puppet, a painting nailed to the wall.Lost my soul, my thoughts and my life, I watched everything around me with my eyes that I couldn't blink.
