CHAPTER 166 This is My Home Too

They had spent a good few hour within the cell that held the corpse and once the Elder’s questions had been exhausted for the day, Ann, Adam, Lexi, and Allen left to allow the Elders to dissect the corpse itself.

None of them had any desire to remain behind and see what the insides of that foul creature looked like in person, and were quite content to allow the scholars to do what they did best and compile their findings into an exhaustive report.

Once they emerged back into the hallways of the ground floor, Lexi finally uncovered her mouth and nose, her face still wrinkled in disgust.

“Ugh! It’s like the odor is stuck inside my nose now.” She groaned in irritation as she rolled her eyes to the ceiling.

“I’m sorry we couldn’t do anything about that Lexi. Odd that you could smell it and we couldn’t though. Ann answered thoughtfully. “Tell me about it. Necromancy stinks, quite literally and figuratively. I just don’t understand why you couldn’t smell it too.” Lexi replied in disgust as they walked next to each other, “At least then you would have been able to share in my misery.”

Ann chuckled lightly and patted heron the back.

“I appreciate you coming here today though Lexi. It’s not really something that I could share any meaningful insight into.” Lexi snorted.

“It’s fine. Despite what they might think of me and my Papa, we both want to help. This is my home too. The last thing we want is for it to descend into chaos just because some rogue Daemon got his knickers in a twist and decided to wage war again.” She said dryly before muttering under her breath, “You would have thought they’d have learned their lesson the last time.”

Ann chuckled lightly.

The sound of Allen choking on his own saliva caused Lexi and Ann to stop and turn around with bemused expressions on their faces. “Something wrong, Beta boy?” Lexi asked, crossing her arms in front of her and raising an eyebrow sardonically. “No… no, not at all. I just feel like you should probably take a break from imposing yourself on people who may not necessarily want it. You can be a little bit much sometimes, you know?” Allen answered with a
