Dust of History: Blood-sucking tenderness (middle)
Night, this is the fourth night since the appearance of the vampire.
In the past few days, the priests of the Magic Academy have taken on the role of the imperial guards of the royal capital. Every night and dawn, the royal capital is patrolling around. Any trace of a vampire. There were even rumors that it was actually just a murder case in the ordinary sense, 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 forage for food in the center of the capital, near the Magic Academy. So on the third night, there were not so many guards and priests patrolling.
But no one noticed that a black figure was nimbly walking through the street, like a civet cat that was extremely clever, and just rightly dodged the patrolling priests and guards while advancing at high speed.
It didn't take long for this black shadow to pass through the huge capital, and came to an uninhabited suburb far outside the city and stopped. With a sound of touch, the black shadow fell to the ground in half, and this black shadow actually overlapped with two people.
The faint moonlight shone on the ground, and it could be seen that the child who fell on the ground was a half-grown child. His clothes were ragged, and his thin face stared blankly at the ground with a pair of big dull eyes. Although it was extremely dirty, But under the moonlight, it was still possible to tell that his skin was almost transparent white. There were two deep holes in his neck, and traces of blood flowed out from the inside and hung on his pale skin.
The black shadow who left the child's body quickly digs on the ground with a small shovel, his movements are quick and powerful. Not long after, there was a big pit on the ground. He put the child's body in the pit and covered it with soil, then piled some plants on top. At least on the outside, there is no obvious trace of eyesore.
There is a distance from the capital and the main road. If there is no accident, this corpse will probably never be found. And the disappearance of such a homeless boy in a big city like Wangdu is like a small wave on the sea. No one will notice. Such a person disappears from this world without a sound.
The black shadow who buried the boy's body was very skillful, and it seemed that this was not the first time he had done so. But after finishing all this, he didn't leave quickly. Instead, he knelt on the spot and looked at his masterpiece. Slowly, there was a slight sobbing and crying sound, which was mixed with intermittent voices: " Almighty Lord...we confess and weep our many sins and evils which we commit from time to time through thought, word and deed are enough for the Lord to send us condemnation and wrath...forgive us for forgiveness Our sin debt is like we forgive those who have wronged us, and don’t let us fall into temptation. Evil and darkness. All glory to the Lord, from today to forever...May the Lord have mercy..."
This is confession, which is chanted by believers when they kneel down to confess their sins in front of the statue of God in the church, but this person kneels in the wilderness and repents next to his buried body. From this voice thin and weak. It can be heard that it is a woman.
Crying and sobbing seemed to be deliberately suppressed, and finally bent down suddenly and began to vomit. But no matter how hard she tried, she didn't vomit anything from her throat, she just twitched on the ground in pain. Under the moonlight, you can see the same three inconspicuous mounds around, all of which are the same as the one where the boy was buried just now. She groaned in pain in these mounds, like a prisoner who was being executed.
"I thought you should be used to it." A voice came from behind her.
She turned around as if she had been stabbed. Under the pale moonlight, the black shadow revealed Her Majesty's beautiful face, but now this face has been completely distorted by panic. The pain and embarrassment just now left too many traces on it.
It was also under the pale moonlight, but the face of the Red Bishop was still so tough, handsome, and extraordinary, as brilliant as under the bright sun. He looked at the panicked queen. The smile on the corner of his mouth did not change at all from the palace that day, and he said lightly: "Since you have learned to do it quietly, why are you still not used to it? This should be the fourth one you ate..."
"It was you who killed me." The queen let out a sharp scream, her face was already distorted by anger and fear, and the sharp canines in her screaming open mouth reflected the cold light of the moon. Like an enraged leopard, she rushed towards the cardinal with a speed and explosiveness completely out of proportion to her usual movements.
But Bishop Jiawei just waved his hand lightly, and the queen, who was shot like a crossbow arrow, was immediately bounced back by a wave of soulful light. Her screams were extremely miserable in this wilderness, and the skin swept by the holy white magic light emitted bursts of green smoke.
Bishop Jiawei stepped forward and put his hand on the Queen's body, reciting a spell in a low voice, a black mist rolled over the Queen's body, and the damage caused by those white magics was immediately restored. He frowned and shook his head and said, "Your power has just awakened, and you can't even resist this level of white magic. If it weren't for your higher bloodline, you might not even be able to stand sunlight."
Although those injuries have subsided, the Queen still languishes on the ground as if she doesn't even have the strength to stand up, she just stares at the ground and keeps saying: "I am not a monster that eats people The monster..."
"In your opinion, is a man-eating monster a monster?" Bishop Jiawei looked at the Queen and said with a smile. "No, taking it as food is a sign of being higher than this species. Just like people eating chickens and pigs. Maybe in their eyes, we are the monsters that eat 'people'. Have you ever eaten chicken for yourself? Do you want to repent?"
The queen stood up and looked up at the cardinal. Although two sharp teeth were protruding from her lips, she was not at all ferocious with tears on her face, but looked extremely pitiful. She cried to the cardinal: "I want to be a man, not such a monster. Why did you harm me?"
"I harmed you?" Bishop Javi shook his head. He sighed helplessly. "Do you know that if it wasn't for me to help you, that half of the vampire's kiss in your body might turn you into a person who bites at any time, even your consciousness and thinking are completely mad under the frenzied dark force. The monster? This incomplete first embrace ceremony only sent a little bit of the vampire factor into your body. It neither completely changed your body, nor gave you enough dark waves. After such a year, the origin of those vampires The factors have gradually accumulated and developed. But without the assistance of the dark wave movement of First Embrace, your change is not complete at all, it is not that I will try my best to help you with necromancy magic."
The queen shook her head and shouted: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything. I would rather die after I became like this. I can't stand this kind of life that is neither human nor ghost, and pretends to be ill during the day , come out to eat people at night..."
"It seems that even though the body has surpassed the human realm, the consciousness has not yet. Your heart is still an ordinary little woman." Bishop Jiawei shook his head regretfully, and then his voice trembled again. "But I hope you can adapt as soon as possible. I also hope that you don't mess around. Have you ever thought about it, if you reveal your identity now. Perhaps the saddest and most suffering is your sister. Whether it is psychologically or practically You are already her only relative, and almost her only psychological sustenance now, and if other people know that you have become a vampire, what will they think of your sister? Although everyone has seen her fight against vampires in that incident before , but do you guarantee that no one will have scruples about your sister because of you?"
After hearing these words, the queen immediately fell silent. Dazed in a daze.
"Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, I guarantee that you will get used to this body soon, and I can give you a more comfortable way of life, so you don't have to kill people secretly like this. Suffer from your fragile conscience Condemnation. Blood does not have to be taken out by killing people. I can teach you how to obtain this kind of food without harming people. You don’t have to worry about aging and illness in the future, and your life will remain the same as before. You can watch your sister live happily with peace of mind."
The queen continued to remain silent, and after a while, she finally said, "What do you want me to do?"
A smile finally appeared on Bishop Jiawei's face. This smile is really warm, bright, and sunny. It can be seen that he is really happy. He said to the queen with this smile that seemed to be able to dissolve any hostility and difficulties: "Don't worry, it's really very simple, all you need is your full support for me to master the Magic Academy."
"But... I never ask about these things, and I don't know how to do them... and these things are 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 that kind and honest emperor Geffenhardt and Captain Roland..." Bishop Jiawei smiled again. "We don't need to worry about it..."
Not long after, the figures of Bishop Jiawei and Her Majesty the Queen flew out together in the direction of the capital, and quickly disappeared into the night.
At this time, a loud female voice came out from the darkness of the night. This voice is not the delicate and sharp voice of the queen, but full of anger: "Bastard, don't you let go? I'm going to kill you."
A strange darkness slowly spread away from the distance where the bishop and the queen talked just now. Although this place was originally a shadow of thorns and bushes, it wasn't until the strange darkness gradually disappeared that it was discovered that this place was originally lit by moonlight, but the ball was not smoke, it seemed to be pure It's just a dark breath that swallows all the light around it. But because of the darkness and the angle, no one would notice anything wrong there.
The darkness dissipated, revealing the three figures in the middle. The black elf Jessica was in the center, and she let out a long breath. This darkness was the special skill of the dark elf she emitted. And the one who yelled just now was Talis, a tall and heroic temple knight in armor.
The other one is Asa, he just took his hands away from the female knight's mouth and waist, looked at the female knight jumping around and said, "Do you think I want to hug you? Do you know that you What is the consequence of rushing out like that just now and being discovered by those two people? Let me tell you, I am not interested in saving you, so I will turn around and leave mine. Let you be raped and then killed by your lord cardinal and then mutilated Let's wipe it out."
"Bah. Covering my mouth with your stinky hand that touched the black elf's body, I have to wash with holy water for a week and repent and pray every day. Oh. God, forgive me. I'm really not Deliberately relying on the evil skills of a black elf to cover up my figure, just to understand the truth."
Jessica watched Talis make the cross on her chest 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 pull her. This kind of idiot really should be raped first and then killed and destroyed. If it weren't for my deep darkness technique The third level can eliminate some slight noises, and the voice made by the woman just now has been discovered long ago."
Asa sighed, looked in the direction of the capital and frowned for a while, then asked Talis: "How is it? Do you finally believe me now?"
"Unexpectedly...unexpectedly this guy is really a spy from Di Yagu. It's unbelievable..." Talis's eyes flickered, the veins on her forehead kept beating lightly, and her expression was mixed with anger and excitement. "Is... what you said is true? I... I have to go back to Celeste, I'm going to ask the teacher... ask His Majesty the Pope..."
"What are you still asking at this point? Are you looking for death? Didn't Lancelot tell you already, and the Pope already knew these things?" Asa said coldly.
During these four days, Asa really fully understood his great progress in dealing with people in a non-fisted way. It seems that the Knights of the Temple have never met someone who keeps running against him with that kind of life-saving grace and chivalry. They were actually coaxed and tricked by Asa into making an oath, promising not to reveal their identities and make things worse. But she seemed to be very confused, and had nowhere to go, and lived in the same hotel on the grounds of monitoring Asa not to carry out any assassination plots. As a result, the vampire incident that shocked the capital took place that night. She even suspected that it had something to do with Asa. Although she still couldn't take any actual actions because of her oath, she almost stayed near the three-person room. In the past few days when the three of them came, there was almost no way to do anything, only Asa touched out a few times quietly.
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 do it, but kept talking to the female knight. Talis is almost comparable to the simplicity of elves in dealing with people's scheming, and she is confused and depressed. Asa used a set of words and quickly said everything.
"By the way, how could you know this place in advance, as if you knew what would happen here in advance, and brought me here to wait?" Talis turned her head and asked Asa as if she suddenly remembered. "If not, I'm absolutely sure that it is indeed a vampire. It is indeed Javi. I really wonder if you arranged for someone to act for me."
"Naturally, I have scouted the land long ago. The key is that I just inquired again and heard that the cardinal also said tonight that he would meditate behind closed doors and not be disturbed. I knew he was probably coming here Meditating."
Talima thought about it for a while, and was even more surprised. She asked, "That means you were sure that Jia Wei had something to do with that vampire? How did you know that?"
"Of course I asked someone." Asa smiled lightly.
"Ask people? Who can you ask?"
"Leave it alone." Asa shook his head. "I'm asking you now, since you know this, you shouldn't hinder me anymore, right?"
Talis was stunned, frowning and thinking without speaking.
Asa looked at her as if she hadn't thought about it for a while, 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? This journey Come on, I have at least three hundred chances to make you die without even a chance to resist."
Talis was stunned again, her face turned blue. Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew that it was true. At least Asa was able to cover her mouth just now, and naturally she could also break her neck.
"It's just these four short days of peaceful coexistence, and when I said I saved you, I completely forgot the opposing position between us, and even the guard was only in a form. Maybe I saved you It's purposeful, and I might kill you if the situation is different...Have you never thought about this?"
Talis opened her mouth, but no words came out~IndoMTL.com~ Her complexion became a little darker under the moonlight, but she couldn't tell whether it was blue or red. Finally she said: "You don't mean to say, this doesn't mean you saved me three hundred times, does it?"
"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, one, in the current situation, we are indeed friends rather than enemies. Two, you are too immature, what you need is mental training. And To face what you don't believe in, solving difficult problems is the best way..."
"Do you want me to cooperate with you?" Talis asked, frowning and interrupting Asa.
"Unexpectedly, you are not really stupid..." Asa was slightly taken aback, and nodded helplessly. "That's true. I feel that I'm short of manpower now, and I'm not strong enough to deal with this situation alone. The helper I thought was hard to manage this kind of thing...so I have to ask you, the original stumbling block, to be my stumbling block." Help me. Don't worry, if you really help me, plus the weapon you gave me before, if you don't expose us, you can change the account between us. From now on, you don't have to be confused by me and your great The code of chivalry has been run. And I promise..."
"Okay, I promise you." The female knight replied suddenly. It seemed that she had figured something out or made up her mind, and now she didn't have the slightest hesitation and embarrassment just now, and she answered firmly.
