Chapter 302: Unruly Love
Young Spikedel can be considered happy. Ignorant of her origins, she thrives under the careful nurturing of Krees.
Perhaps because of the same extermination, Krees had a special feeling of sympathy for Spadel, so he worked very hard in the process of teaching Speedel, and he found his own shadow in Spadel. Unwittingly, Krees instills Spikedel with many ideas that he himself desires but can't obtain, such as "freedom".
Krees had thought more than once that if he was free, when his people were facing annihilation, he could stand up and become a barrier in front of his people, instead of just obeying his master's orders and watching his people be wiped out one by one.
No matter how much the Earl valued Kreese, he was always just a slave of the Count, and from the day he entered the Wickburg he had lost his freedom forever.
The simple Spadell took every one of Krees's teachings to heart. In a sense, Spicer was more unfortunate than Krees, who had at least enjoyed a period of freedom before joining Wycoburg, and Speedel had been reduced to a tool of the Bloodline since birth, let alone freedom.
Krees cherishes Spadel, the human-faced spider he hatched and taught, and tries not to expose her to the slightest shade.
Spikell is also full of attachment to Krees, an elder who is also a teacher and father, and she can even sacrifice everything for Krees. At some point, Spadell discovers that she is in love with her mentor, the vampire bat Cris.
This realization sent Spikedel into a state of horror, and in her poor and pitiful understanding, it was a great perverse thing. What's more, she felt that Krees's affection for her seemed to be just the kind of doting that resembled the love of father and daughter.
It was a terrible feeling, and Spadel didn't have the courage to pick it all up with Krees. This makes her unable to concentrate when facing Krees, and she is always in a mood of gaining and losing. There is no doubt that this has caused a very bad hindrance to her growth.
Kreese didn't seem to know anything about it, or rather he didn't want to attribute Spicedel's sudden slowdown in progress to ethereal feelings, preferring to believe that it was Spicedle's bottleneck before he broke through.
For this reason, Krees stepped up his training, and he only wanted to teach Spadel everything he knew. In order to make Spadel grow up as soon as possible, occupy a more important position in the earl's heart, and not be easily sacrificed, Krees even secretly fed his strength back to Spadel, so that she could grow faster.
Krees's efforts were not in vain, and with the blessing of his amazing talent, Speedel grew at an impressive rate, and in just ten years, he had already reached the strength of level twelve, and he was a level twelve dark mage.
This is an extremely rare growth rate in the entire continent of Eliat, and coupled with the particularity of dark magic, Count Delacoural has also wavered more than once in his determination to let Krees suck Spikedel.
In the past ten years, the earl's plan has been hindered a little, so that the blood army that has already been trained has not immediately thrown itself into the war of all races, but only in the form of sporadic squads, disguised as human armies and accumulated experience in some local small battles.
In addition to some unspeakable reasons, one of the main reasons why the Earl has not launched for a long time is that he has a deep understanding of the serious lack of high-end combat power of the Blood Clan.
Like the dragon clan, because the bloodline of the blood clan itself is too strong, the main gods deliberately made the direct bloodline of the blood clan extremely thin in order to balance the strength of the races. In the generation of Count Delaculal, the real pure blood clan is not even a palm, and the remaining so-called blood clans are basically the "second generation blood clan" that mutated after being bitten by the pure blood clan.
These "second-generation blood clans" basically have no possibility of advancing to the Holy Domain, which is a headache for Lord Earl.
In the entire blood clan, except for the Earl himself, who is already a master of the Holy Domain, looking at all the people and horses of the Blood Clan, there is no longer a strong person in the Holy Domain. This was the most irritating and frustrating thing for the Earl.
Krees had high hopes for the Earl, but ten years later, Krees's strength stagnated and he never made any progress. Spadel could have been a good backup, after all, at her astonishing growth rate, it wouldn't take a few years for her to naturally advance to the Sanctuary.
However, after a few encounters with Spicer, the Earl decided that this was not a very solid solution—he found that Speedel was almost loyal to Krees, and had a slight hostility towards him, the master of Kryth.
The next choice was very simple, and the Count left Wicoburg again. According to his message to Krees, the time has finally come for the Bloods to join the Great War, making Krees ready to join the war at any time.
When Krees receives orders from the Earl, he finds himself not as excited as he had imagined, but begins to worry about Spicedle's future.
The war of all races, which has lasted for thousands of years, is like a never-ending meat grinder, devouring one race after another. Although the Blood Clan is known as one of the three major races in the mainland, Krees is very aware of the Blood Clan's biggest weakness - the blood is too thin.
Compared with the various races with tens of thousands of clan members, pure-blooded clans are too rare to withstand the consumption of war. Krees couldn't understand why the Earl had to get involved in this senseless war.
Krees's mind is very clear, and once he goes to war, he is likely to never return. He wasn't afraid of death, he was worried about Speedel's future. As early as the time his people were wiped out one by one, Krees's desire to survive had dropped to a freezing point. It can be said that the appearance of Spadel gave him the motivation to continue his life.
When he was about to embark on the road to death, he had only one unfulfilled wish, and that was to arrange the perfect home for Spadel. Apparently fate did not give him this opportunity.
The day of separation still came as promised, and when Krees was about to say goodbye to Spadel, he realized that the words of separation were so difficult to say, and it was at this time that Krees realized that his feelings for Spikedel were not as simple as father and daughter, and he fell in love with Spikedel.
Realizing this, Krees felt that he was inferior to a beast, and he didn't know how to deal with this unruly love, but when he saw Spadel's equally loving eyes, he instantly understood that he was so dull.
As soon as the floodgates of affection were opened, the surging love engulfed the two of them like a flood, and on the night of Kreese's departure......
