When the Anaconda Flame heard that, it thought for a long time. Lathel also sat on the ground and waited patiently.
Anyway, the Anaconda Flame's psyche had been skewed by Alec, that's why it hates humans more. To eliminate that hatred would take a while, and it could not be done successfully in just 1 or 2 days.
However, Lathel did not have that much time, as he needed to tame Anaconda Flame as quickly as possible.
Although he was no longer afraid of it because his strength had increased a lot and the lightning dragon was also very strong.
Moreover, the lightning dragon could destroy it alone if Lathel wanted. But Lathel didn't want that to happen; after all, the Anaconda flame is a type of beast flame.
Its uses were great, at least for a chef like him, as it could make his cooking easier.
Thinking about always having to find firewood and light a fire to cook made him feel a bit tired.
But if he had the anaconda flame, then there was no need for such trouble. As long as he uses it to light a fire, he can cook. He can even control the intensity of the fire, making it even more suitable for cooking.
If the Anaconda Flame knew his thoughts, even if it died, it would not want to cooperate with Lathel.
At this moment, the anaconda Flame suddenly spoke: "I have a condition."
"Heh?! You can talk?
"Of course. After all, I am a Beast Flame, although I am not as strong as your dragon, my consciousness is currently more developed than it." The anaconda flame spoke up.
Lathel frowned and suddenly asked: "So... are you male or female?"
Anaconda Flame: "…"
"Is that important?" Anaconda Flame said with a sigh.
"No, I just wanted to ask so I could talk to you more easily."
"You can call me Anna, it doesn't matter if I'm male or female after all, I'm just a flame. It's fine if you think of me as a woman; after all, you'll be more gentle with women."
Lathel heard Anna speak and could only stay silent. He didn't understand why she said that.
He sighed and said: "So… you want to cooperate with me? I need to say a few things first. I don't have the talent and potential like Alec."
"If you cooperate with me, you won't be able to become a flame that everyone admires. After all, I have no intention of becoming the lord of this world or anything like that."
"I just want to live a happy life. But… I will never abandon you."
"I guarantee it, but I cannot prove it because time will prove it."
Anna also sighed: "I have no other choice. Lathel, I don't expect you to help me, I just hope you're not the same type of person as Alec."
"I have also been observing you for the past two days, and I feel I can trust you."
After Anna finished speaking, she opened her mouth, and spit out a small magic circle. That magic circle flew towards Lathel, landed on the back of his hand and formed something like a tattoo.
However, that tattoo flashed a red light and then disappeared as if it had never been there.
Immediately after that, Lathel felt that there was an extremely close connection between him and Anaconda Flame. However, this bond was like that of a master and servant.
He could order Anna, control her, and give?her to someone else.
Anna suddenly spoke up: "So... Can you let me out of this small cage?"
"Of course, but…"
"Hm?! I signed a contract with you, you can control me, do you still not trust me?" Anna frowned and said.
Lathel forced a smile: "No, the problem is... I don't know how to remove this cage."
Anna: "..."
Lightning dragon: "…"
…
Lathel slowly opened his eyes, and met a familiar scene. It was the scene of two giant mountains that looked like they were about to fall on his face, however, he was not surprised.
To be more precise... it seemed he was too familiar with this image. Lathel could guarantee that he was currently resting his head on Lilith's lap, and she was stroking his hair.
"Lilith… how long have I been unconscious?" Lathel asked.
"Heh?! Are you awake?" Lilith bowed her head and smiled.
"Um! Li..Lilith, your two giant chunks of flesh are about to crush my face." Lathel felt a little short of breath.
Lilith pouted, bowing deeper.
"Um! Ah… Li… lith.." Lathel couldn't say anything more, was this the feeling of 'dying happily'? He was indeed a little happy, but it was too hard to breathe.
After a while, he finally escaped Lilith's 'love' for him.
Lathel sat across from her and sighed, "So... you mean I've been unconscious for over 6 hours?"
He said as he rubbed his chin, this news was a bit strange because he felt like time only about 10-15 minutes had passed.
"That's right. But… that pill seems to have helped you a lot, right?" Lilith said smiling, her face showing satisfaction.
"That's right." Lathel nodded, he didn't hide anything: "Not only has my physical strength been enhanced, but my magical power has also been enhanced."
"And… I even tamed Anna, hm… I mean… The anaconda Flame."
Hearing that, Lilith smiled brightly, she rushed towards him, hugged his head tightly: "I knew you could do it, hahahaha..."
"Let me go! Ah! I'm about to suffocate." Lathel cried out in despair.
After struggling for a while, he finally escaped Lilith's 'happiness'.
He felt that perhaps one day he would definitely be killed by those two big mountains.
"Sorry, I was so happy that I couldn't control myself." Lilith looked at him and smiled, her face not hiding her happiness.
Her gaze made Lathel feel a bit embarrassed. He sighed and asked: "Lilith, why do you treat me so well?"
"Because…" Lilith tilted her head, and thought about a reason, when Lathel's voice continued to ring.
"I don't want you to lie, tell me the truth. I know I don't have the same talent as Alec, and my potential isn't even 1/10th of his."
"But from the moment I met you until now, you've always helped me, favored me, and didn't care about Alec at all."
"Lilith, have we met before? And… Why do you treat me so well?"
Lilith looked at Lathel, then, her eyes suddenly became sad, it seemed like there was something that was difficult for her to explain.
The atmosphere fell silent, Lathel also patiently waited for her answer.
After a while, Lilith sighed and said: "Lathel, I can't tell you for now. But… later, I will tell you. Trust me, I won't hurt you."
She said as she reached out and gently caressed Lathel's face.
Lilith continued: "You and Alec are both very important. However, you are much more important to me than Alec."
"Why?"
"I cannot say." Lilith shook her head: "You just need to know that I won't harm you, nor can I help you kill Alec. You and he must live together peacefully."
"But…" Lathel felt like crying, he said tiredly: "What you did made Alec hate me even more."
"Why?" Lilith asked confusedly.
Lathel: "…"
He was about to explain but he thought again... if Lilith understood what he said, the conflicts between him and Alec would not have happened.
"Let's pretend I didn't say anything." Lathel sighed and said.
Lilith pouted: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"That's right."
"Ah! Huhuhu… you are truly cruel." Lilith pretended to cry.
"Okay, I want to ask you one more question." Lathel said seriously: "You know that I am a Half-Vampire, so you also know that Charlotte is a Vampire, right?"
Seeing that, Lilith also seriously replied: "That's right."
"So… Do you know any way to help me return to my original state?"
"Why?" Lilith asked a little surprised: "You must know that Half-
Vampires have many benefits, in particular, their recovery ability is extremely powerful and it can help you a lot."
Lathel sighed: "Lafien… she also became a Half-Vampire, but I want to help her return to a normal life."
Lilith rubbed her chin and said: "I understand what you are saying. Half-Vampires need to depend on their host to continue living. Other than that, they are no different from normal people."
Lathel suddenly spoke up: "There's one thing I also find difficult to understand, aren't Vampires and Half-Vampires afraid of light?"
"Heh?! Why are Vampires afraid of light? Lilith asked confusedly.
Lathel also didn't know, he shrugged and said: "I just... read it in some documents about Vampires."
Lilith shook her head and explained: "In fact, Vampires and Half-
Vampires are the same. They are not afraid of light. If they lived in the city, they would seem like normal people."
"However, Half-Vampires are different from pure-blooded Vampires in one way: Half-Vampires must depend on the host."
Hearing that, Lathel nodded. After all, he and Lafien had to rely on Charlotte to continue living. If their blood contract and blood slave contract were weakened, they would become monsters.
Lilith continued: "Pureblood vampires can go many years without sucking blood without any problems. Half-Vampires are different, their bloodlust makes them suck the blood of others."
"That's why countless other Half-Vampires were born from their thirst.As I said, Half-Vampires cannot control their bloodlust. If this continues, the number of Half-Vampires will increase too much, leading to chaos."
"Eventually, Vampires became enemies of other races because of their ability to turn others into Half-Vampires so quickly."
Lathel frowned and asked, "Are all Half-Vampires cursed?"
"Do you mean when they lose control?"
Lathel nodded, then shook his head again: "I don't know either. After all, I have just become a Half-Vampire, and there is a risk of contracting the curse of the Vampire race."
"I also heard about that curse." Lilith nodded and said: "But I don't have too much information about it. Even in the Enchanter Tower's library, there are no books about that problem."
"I just know that there was a bloody purge of Half-Vampires 20 years ago in a small western town."
"If you want more information, maybe you should go there. As for the curse… according to the adventurers who participated in that purge, those Half-Vampires all shared a common trait."
"That is, they are afraid of light, they lose control, their bodies are as thin as sticks, and they are completely unable to communicate normally."
Hearing that, Lathel frowned. He was a little worried about Charlotte, Lafien and himself.
Charlotte also said... that when a Vampire or a Half-
Vampire,starts sucking blood it will result in a terrible curse.
