Chapter 297: Blood research!

After their talk with Tomo Homie and Lily, Alex took Sara for a walk before returning home. He noticed that something weighed Sara's mind, constantly making her think about her talk with Tomo Homie.

It was perhaps a responsibility.

Alex asked, tenderly looking into her eyes, "Do you feel bad about Tomo Homie and his new responsibility?"

Perhaps, Sara was worried about Tomo Homie and Lily's mental. No player other than psychopaths wouldn't be able to accept such a reality quickly. Even Alex took some time, feeling bad for his thoughts.

After all, every player had at least one kill on their account. Tomo Homie and his friends had killed NPCs, which didn't mean whether those residents had been good or evil.

A kill was a kill.

But as Sara talked through it with him, Tomo Homie's heart brimmed with a new resolution. He and his girlfriend would work more for a better future.

Sara would also add her help, using the Deathwill Castle and their assets. She had Alex's consent, and as his wife, she had access to most features.

And even though she had been ready to throw Tomo Homie onto the battlefield, the young man was her husband's friend.

She felt bad now that they had been returning. Of course, Sara wouldn't step back from what she had done. She would continue moving forward, believing in herself and her family.

"He's your friend, after all," Sara whispered, lifting her eyes to match her beloved's view. And in Alex's hues, the dullahan momma saw immense support.

"I noticed it earlier than you think," Alex whispered, leaning forward until his forehead struck Sara's, "And I helped you, so I'm fine with that."

It wasn't like Alex didn't care for his friend. They were buddies for a long time, and he obviously would do many things for him.

And that was one of those things.

Alex believed that there was more to Avander World's scheme. He was nearly one hundred percent sure that Earth would be involved in the scheme at some point. Because of that, his friend needed to get strength and command.

"I always wanted them to get legendary classes. I haven't found any legendary, let alone epic class… But that will work too. When Tom becomes a commander of a big army, people will sacrifice themselves for him.

I'm… fine with that," Alex's selfish emotions came out of him. But just for a moment, for Sara tightly hugged him.

She blew her hot voice into his ear, "Thank you. It's a tough choice, but we will do it all for our family and friends." She then let her husband's neck go, staring at him intensely, "Let's run back home. I want to play the game. We have to enjoy every moment of it before serious events come out."

"Sure," Alex laughed, taking her hand.

They ran back home like lovers.

After returning home, Alex and Sara hopped into the game world.

While Sara decided to take some matters into her hands, representing the Deathwill Castle, Alex headed to the castle's prison.

In this horrific place, Erin spent most of her time. She didn't have too much work in the castle, to begin with. Erin overlooked the castle by cleaning up the dust from locked facilities, and that was all.

But now, she had essential and bloody research going on.

And that research would help with Alex's skills significantly for his Bloodcraft. She already could create some bloodrunes here, and a key toward the treasury was also not too far away.

"I hope you don't turn into a sadist, Erin," Alex called out his maid, whose clothes looked more modest. Her maid outfit was long and proper, with just a tease around her chest, revealing her cleavage. Erin was endowed with ample size like pretty much every mature girl in the castle.

Erin turned around, smiling brightly at her master, "Master! Have you come to check the research?"

Alex nodded, taking a peek at a few caught hungry demons, "I also want to open more facilities in the castle. I know my relationship with Deathwill Sisters helps me with that, but I think these guys also should do. We don't have time, too."

Erin's eyes sparkled as Alex added more work to her life, "More keys, then!"

"Yeah," Alex laughed, patting her head.

It seemed like Erin would soon become a workaholic rather than a sadist. Alex feared she would become the latter because of tortures to gain the blood, but his concern was pointless.

Erin would instead take more work and happily do it for her beloved, for she wanted to become a part of his heart, too.

"I believe Master will be able to create powerful bloodrunes today," Erin said, pointing at the containers with unusual blood.

It was the same blood from all prisoners gathered here, yet the quality was different. It seemed like Erin's research advanced while Alex was away as she leveraged his skills and the prison's torture methods.

Alex took that with open arms, preparing to hone his craft.

He took a seat in an honored room in prison, then started the process. On his side, he had a sofa, where Erin sat down with her hands on her thighs, her back straight.

She wanted to work, but Alex told her to rest.

And other than resting by his side, what else could Erin do? She wanted to spend more time with him, to begin with, so it was just natural she would follow him here.

It was particularly charming to look at her master and his work, too.

And in a few hours, Erin also would work with Alex to create keys to other facilities.

Alex hoped those would help him and his allies in their areas. As far as he was concerned, Alex believed the barracks would come in handy soon. That facility was unlocked, enabling him to create his army.

Of course, Alex would use that for Tomo Homie and his future undead.

"Let's try open a few facilities now," Alex smiled, calling out to Erin after finishing his bloodrunes.

"How did your bloodcraft go, Master?" Erin asked after standing up, taking her Master's side.

Alex replied with a grin, taking her hand, "Perfect. The blood will significantly increase our stats. We will strengthen the hero guilds and kingdoms if we create them en masse. But for now, I plan to use them to forest fairies."

"I see," Erin nodded, smiling dazzlingly at her Master's progress.
