Chapter 115: Witch

  Headless Horseman is a very powerful demon, which Mo Yan got from Claud's mouth. According to legend, this demon was transformed from human beings, and the knight who was beheaded on the battlefield would come back to life if no one collected his dead body when the rainy season arrived. In order to avenge his own beheaded head, these headless knights will wander around the Hill continent, cutting off the heads of those who attack him or the people he attacks.

  Of course, this is just a rumor, and in fact, no one knows if it's true. Just like how demons are born, it remains an unsolved mystery to this day, but what can't be denied is that the headless knight is a high-ranking demon. With their clear thinking ability, they are very similar to humans, whether it's in terms of combat methods or command during battles.

  Such a headless knight can always become the leader of the demons. In history, it is not uncommon to find abandoned castles occupied by large groups of demons, and the demons' defensive methods are no different from those of humans. Generally speaking, when such situations occur, it means that there is at least one headless knight commanding inside the castle.

  "The headless knight belongs to the demon." Mo Yan sat back in his chair, holding the knight's skull and looking at the headless body standing before him. He spoke to the skull in his hand, "Now that I've defeated you, shouldn't you be my subordinate? As for high-ranking demons, I haven't encountered any yet. The rules between demons should still apply, right?"

  The knight's skull in Mo Yan's hand was still quite beautiful, with its short black hair neatly trimmed to create a layered effect. Although the skin had a somewhat grayish pallor, it felt smooth to the touch, without any rough sensation. The mouth of the skull was slightly large, with bright red lips covering neat and white teeth, and the tongue was also bright red and soft. It's really unknown how it could maintain such a state without a heart supplying blood.

  "Soft... river... Can you take your fingers out?" Just as Mo Yan inserted his fingers into the knight's mouth, playing with her soft tongue. The headless knight who was defeated by Mo Yan began to answer Mo Yan's question and speak.

  "Oh! Sorry, I forgot...... This is alive." Because only one skull was in her hand, this made Mo Yan forget the fact that she was alive. Seeing the skull open its silver-gray eyes and look at herself, she hurriedly pulled out her fingers, leaving a few strands of transparent mucus in mid-air.

  "I am a messenger from Unas Castle, and I have come to investigate the authenticity of this place on behalf of my master." The knight's head gazed at the cow-headed person in front of him with an icy stare and tone devoid of emotion, showing no signs of reverence despite having just been defeated by Mo Yan. "The specifics will be discussed between my master and you."

  As soon as the knight's voice fell, he took out a grayish-black orb from his waist bag and placed it on Mo Yan's desk. After reciting several complex incantations, the orb began to emit magical light, and finally, an image of a skull with a blood-stained knife in its hand appeared above the orb, emitting a faint aura.

  "Ah... it seems that Selena has fallen, huh." The skull's eyes, which emitted a faint blue glow, gazed at the Minotaur as its mouth, devoid of skin and flesh, seemed to smile as it said: "So it appears that the rumors were true, a demonic creature has established a city in Elan. However, I never thought it would be a Minotaur... I assumed it would be an even more formidable demon."

  "Is this headless knight Selena? You're the master she mentioned, right?" Mo Yan leaned back in his chair and looked at the semi-transparent shadow in front of him: "I don't know what you've heard, but if you're referring to Thunder Cliff, then I can say that this is something I established. As for whether I have the power to do so, you can come over and experience it for yourself."

  "This is a witch, oh." Jones came to Mo Yan's side, bent down and whispered in his ear: "And it seems to be a pretty capable witch too."

  "I didn't mean to offend you." The witch looked at Jones, who was whispering to Mo Yan, and said: "Since you can see me, it means your strength is not weak. Moreover, there's a black dragon who has taken a liking to you, such power is not something to be underestimated. My intention in sending Celt this time is just to say hello and establish contact with Lei Ting Cliff, nothing more."

  "What exactly is Unas Fortress." Mo Yan asked his own question after hearing Wu Yao's words: "From your tone, you should already have some understanding of Leiting Cliff, but I know nothing about your Unas Fortress. To establish a connection, we must have an honest exchange. Is Unas also like Leiting Cliff, a city you've established?"

  "If that's the case, I wouldn't be curious either." The witch looked at Mo Yan and said: "Unas is just an abandoned castle in the mountains, but it didn't become a city like Thunder Ridge. Not long ago, I was attacked by humans, and I only got rumors about Thunder Ridge from the souls of prisoners."

  Mo Yan then chatted with the witch for a while and obtained some basic information about each other. The witch who sent the headless knight to Thunder Cliff was named August, occupying an abandoned castle in the northwest of Malosi's small country mountain range. He had lived for hundreds of years and had considerable power in his hands.

  He had ten headless knights, and some other high-intelligence demons to help him manage the entire castle and the surrounding lands. As a demon transformed by a human grand magician, he possessed uncommon magical powers and knowledge, making him the most powerful demon in that country.

  However, due to the bloody experiments he conducted, he would often attack human villages and capture the experimental materials he needed. This made his relationship with humans as incompatible as fire and water, and for hundreds of years, adventurers and armies have been attacking him at Unas Castle.

  Due to the geographical location of Unas, although it is no longer an important strategic location as in history, it is still a castle that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, Augustus set up many magical traps and stationed a large number of demons, so it has never been able to be cleared by humans and has become the biggest threat to the entire kingdom.

  "It's been a few hundred years since humans fought, and it's quite impressive." Mo Yan said with some admiration after listening to Auguste's description: "If I were to turn against the Sart people, I estimate that it wouldn't take long for Thunder Ridge to be occupied. And I could only ride the black dragon to escape."

  "No... it's you who deserves admiration." The witch shook her head and said, "Being able to stand firm in such a place is already a remarkable thing, let alone building a city. Although I can repel human attacks, the entire Unas Fortress has never made any progress, with no achievements other than maintaining the status quo.

  Moreover, the Sault people of Yelan are much stronger than those from the Central Plains. Those robust barbarians can take on a dozen or so Central Plains warriors by themselves. The Thunder Cliff that can fight them is already very powerful, let alone you also have an obedient black dragon.

  "Alright, I've understood what I needed to understand." Mo Yan straightened his body and said: "In that case, since we've made contact, I should also make some gesture. The distance between Leiting Valley and Unas is too great, it's impossible to establish any large trade relations. All I can guarantee is that if your castle is captured and you're not dead, you can come to Leiting Valley and become my subordinate."

  "Hehe... indeed, somewhat arrogant." The witch did not get angry at Mo Yan's arrogance, just as Mo Yan said that the two parties were too far apart and even if they were connected, it was unlikely to have much intersection. And what Mo Yan said was not impossible either, being able to leave a way out for the witch was also good.

  "This headless knight is a gift I give to you." The witch pointed at the skull in Mo Yan's hand and said, "Letting it cross another country to return to Unas is clearly not very possible, and I think you also lack a monster commander, don't you?"

  "That's really thanks enough." Mo Yan smiled and said: "Although I didn't plan to return it to you originally, now that you've said so, let's consider it a favor I owe you. Most of the demons in Ailan are idiots and can't find anyone who can be a leader. With Selena, my legion will have at least one more fighter."

  "That's all for now." The witch nodded and said, "I still have some magical experiments to do, so let's end the conversation here. If there's anything, you can contact me through this projection stone, I'll be around most of the time." As soon as the witch finished speaking, the image on the stone also disappeared.

  "You should have heard Auguste's words." Mo Yan raised the skull in his hand and asked.

  "Yes, from today on, you are my master." The headless knight's icy voice and gaze made it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

  "Well...first take off everything you're wearing." Mo Yan said, looking at Serena's body which was emitting black smoke after he had driven Claud and Jones out.
