It was a woman wearing a nun's uniform. Although she was young, she looked very gentle and had a loving smile on her face.
When she saw such a gentle woman, Elizabeth subconsciously relaxed her vigilance.
After a while, Elizabeth followed the nun and left the house.
…………
In three hours, Jiang Li eliminated a total of five monsters and spent most of the time on the road.
Fortunately, we finally killed all the pawns we found before dawn.
Around twelve o'clock in the evening, Jiang Li returned to the Jiuyuan Temple residence.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Youzhu stood at the entrance, looking to indicate entering the living room.
"The black tea has been brewed."
"Thanks."
Jiang Li nodded in thanks.
Not long after, Qingzi also came back from outside.
"Really, as always, there are only the first-stage dead and the second-stage ghouls, and not even the third-stage undead can be found!"
Aoko took off her coat, revealing her good figure wrapped in a sweater, then sat down on the sofa in the living room, picked up the black tea that Youzhu had brewed and drank it in one gulp.
"If you can find an undead person you can talk to, you might be able to follow the clues to find the location of the 'city lord', or even more clues!"
Qingzi looked very unhappy.
"waste."
Youzhu glanced at Qingzi's teacup and shook his head coldly.
"I'm just thirsty. Youzhu, please pour me another drink!"
"The way you drink is worse than just drinking cold water."
"No, at least not these days!"
Qingzi raised his hands to make an X-shape, with a look of resistance on his face.
Good guy, it turns out that these days are a special period?
You dared to go out to hunt the gangsters at such a special time, and even killed a second-stage ghoul. I really deserve you!
Jiang Li complained secretly in his heart.
"Speaking of which, can't we use patrol to find the leader? Wasn't it the Aozaki Orange that you met during patrol last time?"
Jiang Li asked aloud.
"That's because Chengzi herself wants to be found by us. She has been targeting the Aozaki family's barrier from the beginning, and the barrier has a base point. As long as you wait at the base point, you may be able to wait and see."
Qingzi sat cross-legged on the sofa, wiggling her toes wrapped in black stockings.
"But this time the enemy is a 'city lord' level Death Apostle. Its purpose is not to form a barrier. Judging from its large-scale creation of the dead, it is probably to accumulate strength. Before it accumulates enough strength, it will not
It appears easily!”
The so-called Dead Apostles refer to vampires in the general sense.
Of course, there are fundamental differences between vampires in the Xingyue world and vampires in other worlds.
The vampires in this world are divided into two categories: True Ancestors and Dead Apostles. These two categories are very different and cannot be considered the same.
Let’s leave aside the True Ancestor, after all, he is not the enemy this time, and the Dead Apostles have stages.
Although generally speaking, Dead Apostles are basically immortal existences, but if they want to maintain their bodies, they must suck human blood. Blood is like the lubricant that maintains the life of a machine. Only by constantly sucking blood can the Dead Apostles maintain themselves.
function of this machine.
In the process of sucking blood to maintain the body, the Dead Apostles will also inject their own blood into the bodies of the humans who are their prey. In this way, the humans who have obtained the blood of the Dead Apostles will not die, but will become Death Apostles.
Subordinates act like servants following the fate of blood.
Valley
These remaining humans who have obtained the blood of the Dead Apostles are just ordinary dead people from the beginning.
Humans like the dead trees that Jiang Li solved at Elizabeth's house are vampires at this stage. This is the first stage of vampires - the dead.
The dead have no intelligence, their brains have long been corrupted, and they can only be regarded as corpses controlled by the blood of the Dead Apostles. They will act exactly according to the orders of the Dead Apostles.
Even so, the dead also have powers beyond human beings, which are no longer something ordinary people can deal with.
When the dead drink enough blood, they will evolve into a second-stage ghoul.
From the dead to a ghoul, it is not a huge change. At best, it is still a corpse, but the strength becomes stronger, the speed becomes faster, and the teeth become sharper.
That's as far as ordinary vampires go.
Rather, 90% of vampires will stagnate at the level of ghouls, and only vampires with strong soul potential can evolve to the third stage.
Qualitative changes will occur only when you evolve to the third stage of "immortality".
After a long period of time, the corpse ghost has rebuilt its brain structure, regained the brain that housed the spirit body, and gained wisdom again. At the same time, it will have strong physical recovery power and initially possess immortality. This is the third stage.
Immortal.
Until this stage is reached, one can be called a vampire in the true sense.
The dead and corpses can at best be regarded as the puppets of the Dead Apostles, while the undead can only be regarded as the subordinates of the Dead Apostles.
After that, the undead will have to go through the fourth stage of "Night Attribute", the fifth stage of "Night Demon", and finally complete the evolution before they can become the sixth stage of "City Lord Level" Dead Apostles.
It wasn't until he became a City Lord-level Death Apostle that he had the ability to develop dependents.
The ones who invaded Kinoko City this time were the Death Apostles at the city lord level.
As long as he hides in his lair and issues orders, his subordinates will automatically help him collect blood. The more blood he accumulates, the stronger he will be, without the need to travel outside at all.
Thanks to this, it would be impossible to find out the true identity of that guy without a thorough search.
Of course, they can also go to Scathach. She has a skill called clairvoyance and must have discovered the vampire's hiding place long ago, but Scathach has made it clear that she will not interfere with the selection process. They are required for any incident.
She works hard herself, she is only responsible for training them.
"The good news is that the Dead Apostle probably just came to Kinoko City, so there are no undead around him, only some dead and corpses. After all, it takes a long time to give birth to the undead, and the casualties caused by the undead will be
Bigger!"
Qingzi shrugged, enjoying the pain.
"This is bad news."
Youzhu said calmly.
"really."
Jiang Li also nodded in agreement.
If the undead were born, he would have struck down a charm and found the lair of the city lord-level dead disciples, unlike now.
Charm has no effect on brainless beings.
"You really don't know how to enjoy yourself in hardship!"
Qingzi sighed, then patted his cheek, stood up and stretched, highlighting his enchanting body curves.
"Forget it, let's not talk about these spoiling things. Tomorrow is the weekend. I can finally have a day off. Over the past few days, my legs have almost broken!"
The weekend was a holiday, and Scathach specifically allowed one day not to go to her place to train.
"By the way, do you have any reservations?"
Qingzi turned to look at Jiang Li, looking nonchalant.
"have."
Jiang Li nodded seriously.
"Ah, really..."
Qingzi curled his lips and shaped the two tickets in his pocket into balls.
