บท 599: Thalassar! Get back here!

Thalassar's anger rose, but he wasn't foolish enough to engage in combat with the King of Vampires when he wasn't at full power.

"Why are you here, Vlad?" the archlich asked.

"I'm here to tell you that as long as you don't cause trouble for my lord, you can go back to sleep. But if you truly want to stir up trouble, I suggest you head to Europe. There, you'll only be dealing with the Hightower, not me, my lord, or our organization," Vlad replied.

"Hightower?" Thalassar muttered, his mind racing to decipher the intrigue behind Vlad's words.

From what he remembered, the Hightower was a mage organization tasked with regulating mages and certain aspects of the Curtained World. It was founded by Merlin himself, and after Merlin vanished, it was managed by Envy, the Witch of Envy. That two-faced wretch, who preaches peace and harmony but is actually ruthless.
