Chapter 1660 1655: Eve of the Full Moon Night
"That's right," Su Chen said."Previously, your Nopheler family promised me to dispatch no less than eight members of the Saint Realm... um, first-class Marquises to assist me. Is that promise still valid?"
Seeing Harlow's expression change slightly, Su Chen added, "It would be even better if Duke Karloki could personally assist me."
Harlow's face turned completely green upon hearing Su Chen's words.
Let's put aside whether the Nopheler Family even has more than eight first-class Marquises.
But what's up with Duke Karloki? Do you have no sense of reality?
Harlow said stiffly, "Previously, my Nopheler Family promised to send eight Marquises on the night of the full moon to assist you, but they are not first-class Marquises."
"...Moreover, Duke Karloki will likely not be able to help you."
"Why?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow.
Harlow felt that his heart core, unchanged for a millennium, was trembling.
As if about to experience a once-in-a-millennium shift, breaking through to the Duke Realm's kind of tremor.
He was utterly irritated!
"Why? Why don't you have any sense of reality in your mind?!" Harlow was inwardly shouting profanities.
But outwardly, he still retained a semblance of noble restraint.
"Duke Karloki is currently not convenient to show up." Harlow said coldly, "I'll immediately summon eight Bloodline Marquises, but they'll only assist you for twelve hours. After twelve hours, if the matter isn't resolved, they'll return directly."
That's the message Harlow left for Su Chen.
In a flash, Harlow transformed into countless small bats and flew away from there.
Since Su Chen already knew their identity, there wasn't much to worry about in this regard.
It's just that Harlow no longer wished to stay with Su Chen for another minute.
He couldn't stand Su Chen's attitude anymore.
It was driving him crazy!
However, Harlow was indeed trustworthy.
In just five minutes, eight young men with the appearance of rigid Middle Ages nobles appeared before Su Chen.
Each emitted an extremely powerful aura.
Four third-class Marquises, four second-class Marquises.
Although there were no first-class Marquises among them, the sincerity of the Nopheler Family was evident.
If they truly intended only to brush off Su Chen, they could have simply sent eight third-class Marquises.
"Now that we're all ready, let's set off. But is it easy to buy plane tickets to The Sun Never Sets Empire?"
Su Chen suddenly thought of a serious issue; he hadn't arranged his trip to Deutschland Empire and hadn't even bought a plane ticket!
"Lord Harlow has already made arrangements; the plane is outside." One of them, seemingly the leader among the Bloodline Marquises, answered Su Chen stiffly.
"The plane is outside?"
...
"The world of the rich... is truly freaking awesome!"
Looking at the private jet parked on the castle's helipad, Su Chen couldn't help but exclaim.
But perhaps he had forgotten that not long ago he had extorted a tidy sum from the Nopheler Family.
If he used that money to buy a private jet, using the one before him as an example, he could buy fifty of them...
With Harlow's arrangements, Su Chen didn't need to worry about other things at all.
He only needed to focus on how to rescue Liang Bing once he reached 'Moreland Castle'.
'Moreland Castle' is located in Bedford Town, Deutschland Empire.
It's not particularly perilous.
However, it's named after 'Moreland Castle'.
To the world, 'Moreland Castle' is merely an ancient castle with a long history.
Since it is surrounded by water, and has only one suspension bridge leading to the castle, it seems especially unique.
In ancient times, this terrain made the castle an ideal place for defense, hard to breach.
But in the eyes of the modern world, it's just a reasonably scenic historic site.
However, in a different realm, it holds a distinct significance.
A gathering spot for werewolves.
Though this castle is not a Holy Land for werewolves, to them it holds a unique significance.
It's said that the Wolf God awakened here.
Werewolves appear no different from ordinary people.
Before awakening, some werewolves are even weaker than somewhat strong adults.
Even some people with werewolf blood might never awaken in their lifetime.
Moreover, most Low-Level werewolves, even if awakened, are merely mindless monsters that only know slaughter.
But later, some within the Werewolf Clan discovered key aspects to awakening their kin.
'Stimulus'. Under intense stimulation, bloodline members whose emotions fluctuate greatly can't control their transformation abilities, thus awaken as genuine members of the Werewolf Clan.
Furthermore, the Werewolf Clan's power increases significantly during the full moon.
It's also an excellent time for bloodline awakening breakthroughs.
Though the howling of werewolves on full moon nights is legendary among ordinary people, very few have truly seen werewolves.
Because those who have seen them are dead...
The werewolf base discovered by Su Chen at Devil's Eye is slightly different.
The werewolves there weren't awakened through the normal process.
Normally, once awakened, werewolves find it extremely difficult to stay conscious.
Gradually gaining self-awareness amid chaotic slaughter is itself a challenging process.
Anyone who achieves this is certainly capable of becoming a 'Wolf King'.
Yet the people behind Wolf Doctor took a different path, studying the werewolf gene to weaken the rage factor.
Thus allowing werewolves to possess great strength after transformation while retaining a clear mind.
Even studying the evolution path of werewolves, each breakthrough took decades of effort naturally making it particularly challenging.
But decades of planning nearly collapsed due to Su Chen's actions.
Even an almost mature experimental subject was destroyed.
The other's fury was clearly palpable.
However, it now seems they have no intention of killing Su Chen.
It's completely the result of their interest in Su Chen's physical body.
If Su Chen's body were injected with the werewolf gene, transforming him into a werewolf, what would that look like?
Yet the powerful strength Su Chen displayed is something they feared.
Based on the footage, Su Chen is fully capable of slaying a half-step Wolf King.
Even though Su Chen's actual combat strength might not match a Wolf King, it's probably not far off.
Thus they kidnapped Liang Bing and her group rather than directly confronting Su Chen to capture him.
They scheduled a meeting with Su Chen on the night of the full moon at 'Moreland Castle'.
Under normal circumstances, Su Chen wouldn't wait until the day to go.
However, the other party was definitely not foolish; since they dared to disclose the location, they were surely prepared.
If Su Chen arrived early, the danger he would face would be greater than at the full moon night.
Just by fate, Su Chen arrived on the eve of the full moon night...
