Dragon of the Root

Wu Ming turned his head and saw the person who made the sound.

"Is there something wrong, Miss Evileye?"

Evileye did not speak.

Gagaran said quietly to Evileye.

"Hey Evileye, what are you doing suddenly calling him? And who is the Wu Ming you summoned earlier."

Evileye looked at Wu Ming and said.

"Princess Renner, I would like to invite Master Vero and Sir Gazef to join the plan."

"Hey, Evileye, it's okay to invite Gazef, why did you invite this person who is meeting for the first time?"

"Yes, Evileye, I don't agree with this idea either."

Wu Ming watched quietly, without speaking.

(It seems that this young female vampire knows me… No, she knows Wu Ming. She shouldn't have been able to recognize me not long after I came to this world.)

"Sir Gazef is fine. However, Master Vero just met us and we absolutely must not disturb Master Vero." Princess Renner expression was embarrassed.

"I have no problem, but we will talk about it tomorrow, don't you guys have something to discuss, I will visit tomorrow, goodbye."

Wu Ming and Naberal left.

Blue Rose leader Lakyus asked Evileye.

"Evileye, what happened, why do you care so much about that man?"

"It's fine, let's discuss with the princess about the <Eight Fingers> first."

After Evileye said that, she walked into the room, leaving several people at a loss for what to do.

....

On the other hand, Naberal walked behind Wu Ming and asked.

"Do I need to send someone to get rid of that woman?"

"No, I really want to know how he knows my name," Wu Ming said as he touched his chin.

"To be precise, the bottle of red healing potion and the suppression aura that I released due to Clim training are possible exposures. However, even if I am known as Wu Ming, how does he know my name?" Wu Ming muttered.

"Alright, let's go back to the hotel first. I want to contact Albedo."

"Yes, Master Wu Ming."

....

After discussing with Princess Renner, Blue Rose left the princess house.

On the way home, Gagaran started asking questions.

"What happened, Evileye, your appearance makes us very worried."

Lakyus, Tina, and Tia also looked at Evileye.

"Sorry, I was just thinking of one of my helpers… Master Vero… Too much like him…" Evileye replied.

Sensing Evileye loneliness, everyone in Blue Rose sighed inwardly.

....

Inside the hotel.

Wu Ming took out a scroll titled "Information" and prepared to contact Albedo.

"Information" was a kind of long-distance communication magic that could also be said to be a skill. There was this magic in the library, but Wu Ming did not study it.

"<Information>" Wu Ming placed his hand on his temple and started to contact Albedo.

"Master Wu Ming."

"Albedo, there was an unforeseen situation on my side and you immediately summoned Sebastian and Shalltear, and members of Nazarick are strictly prohibited from leaving."

"I am very sorry, Master Wu Ming, Shalltear has rebelled."

"What--!"

.....

The first floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

A black and red circular hole appeared at the main entrance on Nazarick surface.

Wu Ming walked out.

Naberal was left at the Hotel by Wu Ming. He gave orders that all those who seek him will be rejected by Naberal. The reason for that was because he had something personal to deal with.

When Wu Ming stretched out his hand, a ring appeared in his hand.

Picking it up, Wu Ming started an instant movement, and his figure disappeared.

In the throne room.

Albedo stood beside the throne, waiting quietly.

Wu Ming instantly appeared between the thrones.

Seeing Wu Ming, Albedo knelt down on one knee and said.

"Master Wu Ming."

"Get up quickly, Albedo, what exactly do you mean Shalltear rebelled."

Albedo stood up and stroked her hand with the white silk glove in the air, and a crystal screen appeared in the air.

Even though Nazarick had materialized, some mechanisms could store data.

For example, Albedo summoned the list of Guardians of Nazarick.

Seeing Shalltear Bloodfallen name reveal a bright red color, Wu Ming asked.

"Is this the reason for Shalltear rebellion?"

"Not because of this. When Master Wu Ming left Nazarick, I ordered Shalltear and Sebastian to finish gathering intelligence as soon as possible. Shalltear came back early."

"But while passing through Carne Village, Shalltear seemed to have encountered an enemy, then I was in a state of being unable to contact her after that, so I checked the Guardian list, and only then did I learn of Shalltear betrayal."

Wu Ming sat on the throne, saw the bright red name Shalltear Bloodfallen on a different list from the white names of the other Guardians, and thought hard.

"If there is no surprise, the enemy must become a member of the Slane Theocracy."

"Subordinates also concluded this when we discussed with Demiurge, but since Master Wu Ming hasn't given orders yet, I didn't send troops to Carne Village to check it out."

"Send a top tier assassin to go around Carne Village to check the situation."

"Yes." Then Albedo left.

....

In an instant, Albedo returned to the throne room.

"Master Wu Ming, Shalltear is fully armed and lives in the plains near Carne village. We sent our subordinates to question her, but Shalltear didn't answer as if unconsciously. The initial assessment is that Shalltear has been affected by mind control."

"The undead have mind control immunity, and the opponent has at least world-class items." After a moment of contemplation, Wu Ming analyzed.

Wu Ming frowned. Even though she was much stronger than a Level 100 NPC, it was still possible to control Shalltear mind, and he didn't dare to say that it was not valid for him.

"The Eight-Edge Assassin that was dispatched didn't find an ambush while looking around, but that doesn't ensure that the opponent isn't monitoring Shalltear."

"Albedo, what is the solution after being mentally controlled by a world-class item."

Albedo thought for a moment and answered.

"I'm afraid the only way is to kill Shalltear and resurrect her… However, the subordinates cannot guarantee whether she will recover after awakening."

Wu Ming thought hard.

(Sure enough, mental attributes don't suit me.)

"Albedo."

"Yes."

"Call all the Guardians, I have something to say."

"Yes."

Soon, a group of Guardians gathered in the throne room, including Sebastian who had returned.

"Guardian, you all know about Shalltear being mind controlled."

Wu Ming said lightly.

"I wanted to ask if you guys have a way to get Shalltear out of mind control without killing Shalltear."
