Chapter 101

The bright moon hangs high.

The castle in the dark, like a giant beast, crawls on the high ground in the center of Montreal.

On the soft velvet couch, Humphrey woke up suddenly from his sleep.

"No... something is wrong."

"What the hell happened to me."

There was a fine layer of cold sweat on his back.

The hairs on the arms stood up.

"Although I hate that contract breaker, I won't even disregard my mother's safety."

"Also...how on earth did I come up with this despicable idea of ​​wanting to win other people's knights? Isn't this despicable idea that is completely contrary to the motto of the knights, isn't it what I usually hate the most?"

"That's not right!"

"what is the problem?"

Humphrey's face was full of fear, and he felt a strong sense of strangeness and separation about his recent thoughts and even what he had done.

It was as if he was watching a person who was exactly the same as himself, living instead of himself.

What he didn't see was that the moonlight passed through the window, and the dark shadow cast behind him was expanding rapidly!

Like a drop of ink dripping onto white paper.

Gradually outlined a hideous ghost.

The fear on Humphrey's face quickly solidified.

After a long time, the corner of his mouth slowly drew a strange arc: "It's really interesting that a mortal can feel the erosion of my heart."

"It's a pity, after all, I'm just a mortal. Without a tempered spirit, it's impossible to resist my manipulation."

There was a hint of appreciation in his tone: "You have proved your potential, I decided to cultivate you well, but in order to forcefully control you, I lost my strength, so..."

His tone changed to a flattering tone: "My lord, if you need anything, please just ask."

"I need sacrifices. In this city under your jurisdiction, there are four extraordinary people. I want to devour them all!"

Humphrey's tone became humble and respectful again: "My lord, in accordance with your request, I will definitely deliver the sacrifice you want to your face."

The voice fell, seamlessly.

A terrifying whisper sounded: "Remember your promise, humble mortal."

Humphrey knelt on the bed devoutly, and did not move for a long time.

...

Early the next morning.

Lothar felt his face was icy cold, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Furingilla's slender and soft fingers were caressing his cheek.

"what are you doing?"

Lothar asked subconsciously.

Fringila raised her hand, and quickly stuffed a round object into Lotha's mouth: "It's delicious, I want you to taste it, but you're very sleepy."

Lothar chewed subconsciously, bursts of sweetness came out of his mouth.

The familiar taste made Lothar chew in his mouth for a long time, but he was not willing to swallow it.

"chocolate beans?"

"Where did it come from?"

Fringira smiled and took out a red iron box: "Hey, I found it in the pocket of the suit I wore when I first came into this world. It's a pity that I didn't store some useful magic items back then."

She opened the box with great care, and showed Lothar that there were only three chocolate beans lying inside.

"There are only three left."

Lothar was a little moved.

The ones that can be carried by Flynn must be her favorite things. There are only four left, and she is willing to give one to herself.

Lothar raised one hand and gently stroked Fringilla's soft hair.

"When I become a king in the future, I will study sailing ships to explore the New World. When the time comes, I will find cocoa beans and send my people to make chocolates for you."

Furingilla curled her lips: "My lord, painting this kind of cake is not as good as painting - when you become king, let me kill and suck the blood of the whole city."

Lothar flexed her fingers, and flicked her brain on her smooth forehead.

He became serious: "Flynn, this is impossible. I am also a human being. Even if I am no longer in the future, I will always remember this identity. I will never sit back and watch you become a monster that eats human beings."

Fringila was a little puzzled: "But I'm a monster that preys on humans."

"Then you can eat me."

Lothar stretched out his arms and moved closer to her.

Fringila sniffed and licked, seeing that Lothar still hadn't retracted her arm, her face collapsed: "Okay, I promise you, I will never suck human blood."

Lothar shook his head: "That's not necessary, I just don't want you to feed on human blood, but it doesn't mean that you are not allowed to suck human blood to save your life in an emergency."

"Your own safety is always the most important thing."

Prajna's cold voice suddenly sounded: "You guys are almost done chatting."

The two subconsciously separated some distance.

Her tone was a little cold: "The guard officer of this city, that is, that Humphrey, invited us to a banquet. My lord, are you planning to go?"

"You didn't invite us yesterday, but now you're inviting us to a banquet again?"

What does this Humphrey mean?Did he also receive a messenger from his stepfather, Earl Leonard?So I want to put some pressure on myself.

Lothar was a little puzzled, but still said: "Finally, I can participate in the human relations among the nobles. Speaking of which, I haven't attended a serious banquet yet."

"Pack up and get ready to go."

Lothar changed into a brand new dress for himself. He hadn't worn it a few times since he bought this silk dress.

Come to the first floor of the hotel.

Lothar received the servant sent by Humphrey.

He looked ashamed and said: "My lord, this gathering is a bit hasty, Lord Humphrey was not well prepared, so I only invited you to go alone."

"one person?"

Lothar frowned: "Not only does this not conform to noble etiquette, but it is also a great humiliation to me, are you sure?"

The servant hurriedly said: "My lord, of course you are not allowed to go alone, but there are many knights and sergeants under your command, and the castle really cannot entertain them."

"Ah."

Lothar sneered and said, "Your master thinks I'm a run-down nobleman who likes to eat and drink with his subordinates? Since your master has so many demands, just forget it."

"No no no, my lord."

The servant said anxiously: "It's all because I can't speak, my lord, no matter how many people you bring, we will try our best to entertain them, I just hope you can ignore the offense just now."

"It's not worth it."

Lothar snorted softly: "Don't worry, I only bring two female relatives, and I won't make it difficult for you."

He waved his hand and signaled the servant to lead the way.

Afterwards, together with Hannya and Fringila, they took the carriage to the castle as guests.

He wasn't worried about any traps that Humphrey would set up. As soon as the crusader army led by Baldwin IV was coming, unless Humphrey went crazy, it was impossible for him to attack him.

Secondly, with Prajna and Fringila around, Lothar is still very confident about his personal safety.

With the iron gate of the castle slowly rising.

The carriage drove in slowly.

Sir Humphrey greeted him with a smile on his face: "Baron Lothar, I really neglected you yesterday due to my busy schedule, please come in quickly, I have ordered the chef to prepare delicious food and wine, and I will wait for you to enjoy them. "

Lothar laughed in his heart, wanting to ask the phrase "How can you be arrogant before and then respectful?"

But he also knew that this was too embarrassing, and he and Humphrey had no irreconcilable conflicts, so he said: "My lord, you are too polite, we are all crusaders who hold high the sacred banner, and we are only negligent because of official duties. It's nothing."

The two talked and laughed at Yanyan, and walked into the castle.

Fringila curled her lips, not understanding how these two people said so many hypocritical words.

The servant suddenly opened his mouth and stopped the two of them: "Two female relatives, please invite me to eat here. We will send special maids and dishes for you to enjoy."

Lothar asked with some doubts: "This is?"

Humphrey showed a smirk that "men can understand": "My lord, there are many things that are not suitable for female relatives to watch during the banquet. That's too rude."

Prajna shook her head and said, "No, it's my duty. I must follow you."

Humphrey looked at Lothar hesitantly: "This"

Lothar said in a deep voice: "Indeed, Lord Humphrey, Ban Ruo is my closest friend and companion, there is nothing about me that she cannot know."

Humphrey suddenly looked embarrassed: "But this is really rude. If others know that I invited a noble lady to watch this kind of thing, the honor of the family will be ashamed."
