Night, this is the fourth night since the vampire appeared.
In the past few days, the priests of the Magic Academy have acted as the royal guards of the royal capital. They patrol the royal capital from night to dawn every day. The holy light technique to detect evil can be seen everywhere, but the vampire has not been found at all. There were no clues. There were even rumors that it was actually just an ordinary murder case, and that the murderer deliberately arranged the scene like that to create suspicion.
This suspicion is not entirely unreasonable, because vampires known for their cunning and secretiveness seem to have no need to look for food in the center of the royal capital, near the magic academy. So on the third night, the patrolling forbidden There are not that many guards and priests left.
But no one noticed that a black figure walked nimbly through the streets, like an extremely clever civet cat, and just in time dodged the patrolling priests and guards while advancing rapidly.
It didn't take long for the black shadow to pass through the huge royal capital and stop at an uninhabited outskirts far outside the city. With a crash, half of the black shadow fell to the ground. Actually two people overlapped.
The dim moonlight shone on the ground, and it could be seen that what fell on the ground was a half-year-old child. He was in ragged clothes, with a pair of big, dull eyes on his thin face staring blankly at the ground. Although he was dirty, under the moonlight You can still tell that the skin all over his body is an almost transparent white. There are two deep holes on his neck, and traces of blood flow out of them and hang on the pale skin.
The shadow who left the child's body quickly dug on the ground with a small shovel. His movements were quick and powerful. Soon there was a large pit on the ground. He put the child's body into the pit and covered it up. Put some soil on it, and then pile some plants on it. At least on the outside, there are no obvious signs of irritation.
This place is far away from the royal capital and the main roads. If there is no accident, this body will probably never be discovered. And such a wandering boy disappearing in a big city like the royal capital is like a person on the sea. The small waves just flashed for a moment. No one would notice. In this way, a person disappeared from this world silently.
The black figure who buried the young man's body was very skilled in his movements. It seemed that this was not the first time he had done this. However, after he finished all this, he did not leave neatly. Instead, he knelt down and looked at his masterpiece slowly. Slowly, there were slight sobbing and crying sounds, interspersed with intermittent voices: "Lord Almighty... We confess and weep for our many sins and evils, which we have revealed through our thoughts, words and actions from time to time. The crimes we have committed are enough for the Lord to send us condemnation and wrath... Please forgive us and forgive our sins just as we forgive those who wronged us, and do not let us fall into temptation, evil and darkness. All glory to the Lord, From today to eternity...please Lord have mercy..."
This is a confession, which is recited by believers when they kneel before the statue of God in the church and repent of their sins. However, this man is kneeling in the wilderness next to his buried body to repent. Judging from the thin and weak voice, it can be seen that I heard it was a woman.
The crying and sobbing seemed to be suppressed deliberately, and finally she bent over suddenly and started to vomit. However, no matter how hard she tried, she did not vomit anything out of her throat, she just twitched on the ground in pain. Under the moonlight, she could see there were still things around her.
The same three inconspicuous mounds were all the same as the one where the boy had just been buried. She groaned in pain in these mounds, like a prisoner who was being tortured.
"I thought you would have gotten used to it." A voice came from behind her.
She turned around suddenly as if she had been stabbed. Under the pale moonlight, the black shadow revealed Her Majesty the Queen's beautiful face, but now this face had been completely distorted by fear. The pain and embarrassment just now were also left on it.
There are too many traces.
Also under the pale moonlight, the red bishop's face was still so tough, handsome, and extraordinary, as brilliant as under the bright sun. He looked at the panicked queen. The smile at the corner of his mouth did not change at all from the palace that day.
, said calmly: "Since you have learned to do it quietly, why are you still not used to it? This should be the fourth one you have eaten..."
"It's all your fault." The queen let out a sharp scream. Her face was distorted by anger and fear. The sharp canine teeth in her open mouth reflected the cold light of the moon. She was like an enraged leopard.
Likewise, she rushed towards the cardinal with a speed and explosive power that was completely out of proportion to her usual movements.
But Bishop Javi just waved his hand gently, and the queen who was shot like a crossbow was immediately bounced back by a burst of light. Her screams seemed extremely shrill in the wilderness, and her skin was swept by the holy white magic light.
There were bursts of green smoke.
Bishop Javi stepped forward and put his hand on the queen's body and whispered a spell. A black mist rolled over the queen's body, and the damage caused by the white magic was immediately restored. He frowned and shook his head and said: "
Your power has just been awakened, and you can't even withstand this level of white magic. If your bloodline wasn't higher, you might not even be able to withstand the sun."
Although the injuries had subsided, the queen was still wilting on the ground as if she didn't even have the strength to stand up. She just stared at the ground and kept saying: "I am not a man-eating monster, I am not a man-eating monster...
"
"In your opinion, people who eat people are monsters?" Bishop Javi looked at the queen and smiled, "No, using them as food is a sign of superiority to this species. Just like people eating chickens and pigs
.Perhaps in their eyes, we are the man-eating monsters. Have you ever repented for eating chicken?"
The queen stood up and looked up at the cardinal. Although two sharp teeth were exposed from her lips, her face was full of tears. She did not look ferocious at all, but looked extremely pitiful. She cried to the cardinal.
He shouted: "I want to be a human being, not a monster like this. Why did you harm me?"
"Am I harming you?" Bishop Javi shook his head and sighed helplessly. "Do you know that if I hadn't helped you, the half vampire kiss in your body might have turned you into a human being at some point.
Just bite a real monster whose consciousness and thinking are completely crazy under the frenzied dark power? This unfinished first embrace ceremony only sends a little bit of the vampire factor into your body. It neither completely changes your body, nor does it completely change your body.
It didn’t give you enough dark waves. After such a year, the original factors of those vampires gradually accumulated and developed. But without the assistance of the dark waves that you first embraced, your changes were not complete at all. It’s not that I tried my best to use the undead.
Just give you some magic help and you'll be finished."
The queen shook her head and shouted: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything. I would rather die if I become like this. I can't stand this kind of life without people and ghosts. I pretend to be in poor health during the day and go out at night."
Eating people..."
"It seems that even though the body has transcended the human realm, the consciousness has not yet. Your heart is still an ordinary little woman." Bishop Javi shook his head regretfully, and then his voice became cold again. "But I
I hope you can adapt as soon as possible. I also hope you won't act recklessly. Have you ever thought about it, if your identity is exposed now? Perhaps the most sad and guilty person will be your sister. Whether it is psychologically or actually. You have already
She is her only relative and almost her only psychological sustenance now. And if other people know that you have become a vampire, how will they treat your sister? Although everyone has seen her fight against the vampire in that incident before, but...
Guarantee that no one will have any scruples about your sister because of you?"
After hearing these words, the queen immediately fell silent and was stunned.
"Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, I guarantee that you will get used to this body soon, and I can also give you a more comfortable lifestyle. You don't have to kill people secretly like this. You will suffer the condemnation of your fragile conscience. Blood.
, you don’t have to kill people to take it out. I can teach you how to get this kind of food without hurting people. You don’t have to worry about aging and illness in the future, and your life will be the same as before, so you can rest assured.
I see your sister living a happy life with my heart."
The queen continued to be silent, and after a while, she finally said, "What do you want me to do?"
A smile finally appeared on Bishop Javi's face. This smile was really warm, bright, and sunny. It could be seen that he was really happy. He used this smile that seemed to be able to resolve any hostility and difficulties to the Queen.
Said: "Don't worry, it's really very simple. I just need your full support for me to master the Magic Academy."
"But...I have never asked about these things, and I don't know how to do them...and these things are all decided by His Majesty and Captain Roland."
"Don't worry, I will tell you how to do it. It's not difficult and you don't have to worry about it. As for the kind-hearted and honest Emperor Geffenhart and Captain Roland..." Bishop Javi smiled again. "It doesn't matter.
Let's worry about it..."
Soon after, the figures of Bishop Javi and Her Majesty the Queen flew out in the direction of the royal capital and quickly disappeared into the night.
At this time, a loud female voice came out from the darkness of the night. This voice was not delicate and sharp like the queen, but full of anger: "You bastard, why don't you let me go? I'm going to kill you."
A strange darkness slowly dispersed far away from where the bishop and the queen were talking. Although this place was originally a shadow of thorns and bushes, it was not until this strange darkness slowly dissipated that it was discovered that this place was originally
There is some light under the moonlight, but that cloud is not smoke, it seems to be a pure aura of darkness that swallows up all the surrounding light. But because of the darkness and the angle, no one will notice it.
Something is wrong.
The darkness dissipated, revealing the three figures in the middle. The one in the middle was the black elf Jessica. She let out a long sigh. This darkness was the special ability of the dark elf she sent out. And the one who shouted just now was a
Armored, tall and heroic temple knight Talis.
The other one was Asa. He had just withdrawn his hands from the female knight's mouth and waist. He looked at the female knight jumping away and said: "Do you think I want to hug you? Do you know that you rushed like that just now?
What will happen if you go out and be discovered by those two people? Let me tell you, I have no interest in rescuing you. I will turn around and go away. I will let you be raped and then killed by your cardinal, and then your body will be destroyed."
"Bah. When I cover my mouth with your stinky hands that touched the black elf's body, I have to wash myself with holy water every day for a week and repent and pray. Oh, Lord in heaven, forgive me. I really didn't mean to rely on someone.
The evil skills of the black elf are used to cover up my figure, just to understand the truth."
Jessica watched Talis cross herself after jumping out of this dark circle. Looking at Chen Sa next to her, she rolled her eyes and said, "I really don't think you should hold her. This kind of idiot should be killed first."
You have to kill the corpse and eliminate all traces of the rape. If my deep darkness technique had not reached the third level and could eliminate some slight noises, the sound that this woman made just now would have been discovered long ago."
Asa sighed, looked in the direction of the royal capital, frowned and thought for a moment, and then asked Talis: "How is it? You finally believe me now?"
"I can't believe...I can't believe that this guy is really a spy from Diya Valley. It's unbelievable..." Talis's eyes flashed, the veins on her forehead kept beating gently, her expression was mixed with anger and excitement. "Could it be that...you said...
Are they all true? I...I have to go back to Celeste, and I have to ask the teacher...ask His Majesty the Pope..."
"At this point, why are you still asking? Are you seeking death? Didn't Lancelot already tell you that the Pope already knew these things?" Asa said coldly.
In the past four days, Asa has really fully understood the great progress he has made in dealing with people in non-fist ways. It seems that the temple knights have never encountered such life-saving favors and the chivalry of always accepting kindness.
The people who live in her own country were actually coaxed into making an oath by Asa Lian, promising not to leak their identities and make the matter bigger. But she seemed very confused and had nowhere to go in order to monitor Asa.
She stayed in the same hotel on the pretext of carrying out some assassination plot. As a result, a vampire incident occurred that night that shocked the royal capital. She even suspected that it was related to Asa, although she could not take any actual action because of her oath.
, but almost never left the vicinity of the three people's room. In the past few days since the three people came, they could hardly do anything. Only Asa quietly went out a few times.
Both Jessica and Luya strongly suggested that Asa find a way to kill or get rid of this obstructive guy, but Asa never planned to take action. Instead, he kept having nothing to say to the female knight. Talis was dealing with it.
Human scheming is almost as simple as the elves, and their hearts are confused and distressed. Asa quickly said everything with his words.
"By the way, how could you know this place in advance, as if you knew what would happen here in advance, and bring me here to wait?" Talis turned to ask Asa as if she suddenly remembered. "If not, I am absolutely sure.
That is indeed a vampire. It is indeed Javi. I really have to wonder if you arranged for someone to act for me."
"Of course I have already scouted the area. The key is that I just happened to inquire again and heard that the cardinal also said tonight that he would meditate behind closed doors so that no one would disturb him. I knew that he was probably going to come here to meditate.
.”
Tali thought for a moment, then became even more surprised and asked: "That means you were sure that Javi was related to the vampire before? How did you know?"
"Of course I'll ask someone." Asa smiled softly.
"Ask someone? Who can you ask?"
"Just leave it alone." Asa shook his head. "I'm asking you now, now that you know this, you shouldn't hinder me anymore?"
Talis was stunned, frowning and thinking without speaking.
Asa looked at her as if she hadn't thought about it for a moment, and suddenly said: "You really haven't thought about it. Maybe I called you to this wilderness late at night to kill you? Do you know? I came all the way.
There are at least three hundred chances for you to die without even a chance to resist."
Talis was startled again, and her face turned blue. Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew that this was indeed the case. At least Asa was able to cover her mouth just now, and he could naturally break her neck.
"It's just these four days of peaceful coexistence, and the fact that I said I saved you, that I completely forgot about the opposing positions between us, and even kept my wariness only in a formal way. Maybe I saved you for a purpose
Yes, if the situation is different, I might kill you...haven't you thought about this?"
Talis opened her mouth, but no words came out. Her face looked a little darker under the moonlight, but she couldn't tell whether it was green or red. Finally she said: "You don't mean that"
You want to say, this doesn’t count the three hundred times you saved me?”
"Hahahaha." Asa couldn't help laughing, and then he shook his head and said. "Don't worry, I'm not that shameless. I just want to tell you, first, under the current circumstances, we are indeed friends, not enemies. Second,
You are really too immature. What you need is mental training. To face things you don’t believe in, solving problems is the best way..."
"Do you want me to cooperate with you?" Talis frowned and interrupted Asa's words and asked.
"I didn't expect that you are not really stupid..." Asa was slightly startled and nodded helplessly. "That's true. Now I feel that I am short of manpower. I am not strong enough to cope with this situation. I originally thought of a helper.
I can't take care of this kind of thing...so I have to ask you, who was originally a stumbling block, to be my helper. Don't worry, if you really help me, plus the weapons you gave me before, and you don't expose us, even if
Please settle the score between us. From now on, you will no longer have to be squeezed by me and your great code of chivalry. And I promise this..."
"Okay, I promise you." The female knight replied suddenly. It seemed that she had figured something out or made a decision. Now her expression no longer had the hesitation and embarrassment just now, and she answered decisively.
