Chapter 1371

“Wait, what?” The Scorpicore who had snored through Kalla’s rant suddenly woke up at the mention of her name. “Why should I come along?”

“Because you’re a tracker even better than Lith. Also, I’m too weak to ensure my own safety let alone that of my daughter. You’ll serve as both our bodyguard and Lith’s aid in the case something goes wrong.” The Wight said.

“No way! I’m glad if you spend some quality time with Nyka, but don’t drag me into this mess. Whenever I asked the Council for help, they always turned me down. I’ve got no obligation toward anyone here.” Scarlett stood tall with a stone-cold gaze.

She didn’t like the Council nor Lith and she liked the undead even less. Either the Forbidden Magic went awry and bit the undead’s a.s.s or it succeeded, forcing the Council to move theirs, the Scorpicore would win just by doing nothing.

“Please, you’re extremely gullible and easy to manipulate.” Kalla gave a nudge to Nyka who caught her drift and hugged Scarlett’s huge snout.

“Please, aunt Scar, we need your help. You know that Mom can’t be trusted when books are involved and once Lith is out hunting, I would be all alone surrounded by strangers.” She said.
