Chapter 960 Herke's Secret

The Nightmare Dragon's words excited Lu Yu.

It had been a long time since he had a new dragon claw.

If what the Nightmare Dragon said was true, then not only would he have the Nightmare Dragon Claw, but he would also have the Poison Dragon Claw.

The appearance of two new dragon claws would make up for some of his flaws.

For example, the Nightmare Dragon could inflict mental attacks on enemies, trap them in dreams, and even conduct information reconnaissance.

Although Lu Yu was excited, he knew he was still far from getting his Nightmare Dragon Claw.

In the evening, Herke asked the manor's head chef to prepare a luxurious dinner for them.

Herke sat at the head of the table in the dining hall. Under the magnificent crystal chandelier, he looked at everyone with a smile.

"Thank you so much for bringing my sister back. I specially prepared a sumptuous banquet. I hope I can entertain you well."

Helen and Shirley looked at the delicacies on the table and were instantly excited. They picked up their knives and forks.

On the other hand, the Empress was very careful. She carefully looked at each dish. As she wasn't in her country, she didn't like to eat food from strangers.

However, since it was a banquet hosted by Elena's cousin, there shouldn't be any problem.

Lu Yu also picked up his knife and fork, took a piece of beef, and put it into his mouth.

This beef was different from the ordinary beef in his world. It was juicy and meaty.

It was scrumptious, and he did not find anything wrong with it.

Lu Yu continued to eat and had a full meal.

Moreover, with his own physique, ordinary poisons could not harm his body at all.

Herke looked at everyone and smiled. "Thank you for everything. I've asked the butler to prepare a small villa for you to live in. It will be comfortable, and the scenery is pleasant. I hope you like it."

"Thank you." Helen thanked Herke politely.

"This manor is much more luxurious than mine."

Shirley looked around as she ate.

Of course, her family was already in the past, but being in this huge manor made her recall the past.

"Alright, everyone, please continue eating. I still have something to deal with."

Herke stood up and patted Elena's head. "Eat more. You've lost weight."

"Yes, I know..."

Elena smiled as she watched Herke leave.

She looked at Lu Yu and the others. "My brother is a good person, right?"

"I'm sure he's a good person, and he's very generous."

Helen answered with a smile.

After dinner, Elena brought Lu Yu and the others to a small villa in the backyard of the manor.

This was a villa specially reserved for entertaining guests. Since Lu Yu and the others were here, they could stay for a while.

After entering the villa, he saw that the furniture was decorated lavishly with a different feel from modern-era decoration.

It might be a little uncomfortable for Lu Yu, but for Helen and the others, the decoration was luxurious.

All kinds of precious jewelry were inlaid in the furniture, making it look magnificent.

"You all can stay here for now. If you need anything, let me know."

Elena turned around and left. The family rule was that she couldn't stay in the guest's villa.

After Elena left, Helen sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at the decorations around her. "Unknowingly, we've walked so far." She sighed.

"I've only heard travel merchants mention this faraway Grand Court, a cluster of cities. I didn't expect this place to be quite nice."

Shirley sat down beside Helen. "It's really nice," she said. "But it's someone else's home after all. We're just staying here for a while."

"What should we do next?"

Helen asked Lu Yu.

"Let's take a break first. Then, I'll go investigate the Orlando family."

"If I want to find the Demon Blood Lord, the best way is to ask the Orlando family."

"They have a close relationship with the Demon Blood Lord. I'm sure we can get some information from them."

Helen and the other two nodded slightly.

"I feel like we didn't help you much."

Helen pouted helplessly.

The Empress sat beside Lu Yu as she answered, "I'm not the same. I've helped Lu Yu a lot."

That was true. Just bringing Lu Yu's aunt back was already a big achievement.

"Wait, so only the two of us are weaklings?"

Helen looked at Shirley with an awkward expression.

"How could that be? Aren't you an elementalist mage? You can use all kinds of elemental powers. How are you weak?"

"Shirley, you are a healer."

Shirley smiled awkwardly. "You've never been injured before, so how can I heal you?"

Lu Yu smiled helplessly. "Maybe there will be a chance in the future."

"Most importantly, with the two of you following me, I look like someone from the Ember Empire."

With Helen and Shirley by his side, Lu Yu's identity was greatly concealed.

Nighttime fell, so Helen got up and walked up the stairs after feeling sleepy.

"I'm sleepy. I'm going upstairs to sleep."

She slowly walked up the stairs.

Suddenly, she fell down the stairs with a thud.

"What happened? Are you that sleepy?"

"What happened to Helen?"

Shirley asked curiously.

Lu Yu quickly walked forward and held Helen in his arms. "I'll send her to her room."

"Alright, but remember, she's still young." The Empress said with a smile.

"Since when did I have any feelings for her?" Lu Yu was speechless.

"I'm just joking. However, if you have any thoughts about me, I'm interested."

The Empress smiled charmingly, causing Lu Yu to shiver. He quickly carried Helen and walked over.

Shirley was curious when she heard this. "Sister, do you like Lu Yu?"

"You can say so. I'm looking for an emperor for my kingdom, and he's suitable. I'll be his Empress, and that's enough for me."

"Emperor? I don't think that's possible. He likes to take risks. If he becomes ruler of a country, he won't have any freedom."

Upon hearing this, the Empress's face revealed a worried expression. "That's true. It seems like there's not much hope."

...

Lu Yu carried Helen into the room, placed her petite body on the bed, and covered her up with a blanket.

Her hair was scattered on the pillow, looking messy.

Lu Yu tidied her up and turned around to leave.

Back in the living room, Lu Yu was ready to chat with the Empress and Shirley, but he saw both of them collapse on the sofa as if they had fainted.

"It doesn't look like they're asleep."

Lu Yu quickly walked forward to check on the two. They were asleep.

Could it be a drowsiness-induced drug?

Lu Yu felt a wave of drowsiness, but he quickly suppressed it.

"A drowsiness-induced drug. Herke drugged us. What is he trying to do?"

He remembered that Elena had also eaten the food. Did that mean that she was also drugged?

Obviously, Elena was in danger.

Lu Yu stood up and walked out of the villa.

He needed to find Elena!
