Rise in the glory of the king system

Chapter 767 Afterglow
When the sunset swayed the last afterglow, the chaotic night came quietly.

The night sky and the earth were connected into a blank black.Darkness enveloped Fort San Leon.Crows and white doves fly through the sky in black and white.

The church is not lit, only the disastrous moonlight shines through the windows carved with retro patterns, making the dark church at least not invisible.

Van Helsing stood in front of the statue of the Virgin standing in the center of the church, holding the Bible in his hand and whispering prayers.

Not praying that I can come back alive in this battle...

Instead, I hope the special envoy will not hold him back.

When I first became a blood hunter, I used to perform missions with my partners.But after that person was caught and shredded by a bunch of monsters because he was too weak, he still held on to the hem of his clothes, and he felt that his partner was a burden.

"You're praying to these useless dead things again."

The envoy's voice came from behind, and his words echoed with the sound of "da da" footsteps in the empty church.Because of the church incident that year, Van Helsing took precautions this time, turned around and quickly closed the Bible and hid it behind his back.

"Pfft..." The special envoy couldn't help laughing out of his action, "What are you afraid of, I won't snatch this thing."

Van Helsing snorted, tightened his grip on the Bible in his hand, and mocked the special envoy, "You can't snatch it with your current ability. Also, you'd better not hold me back tonight. I won't save you if something goes wrong. .”

"All right, all right, I don't need your help." The envoy waved his hand indifferently and walked out of the dim church.

-

The Blood Palace is not as eerie as the legend says, it is even more spacious and bright than the church.

The other partners of the Holy See have already entered first, and it seems that they are the latest group.

The heavy dark red door was wide open at this time, a little blood stuck to the ancient pattern engraved on the door, a faint smell of blood wafted from the entrance of the Blood Palace, exuding the aura of killing all the time.

"Go in." The special envoy clenched the golden spear in his hand and opened the way first.

-

The Blood King's Palace was terribly silent, with dim candles burning on the red-painted walls on both sides.The jumping and elongated shadows are like those slender and pale bloodthirsty devils in the blood palace.

The special envoy felt a little strange, obviously the two of them didn't come too late.It stands to reason that he should be able to see or hear the figures and voices of other partners.But why apart from him and Van Helsing, there is no other movement.

Leaving other people aside, this Blood Palace is too peaceful and weird, not even half a vampire can be seen.

It's strange... Could it be that they completed the task?
Are these vampires too weak?I thought it was great.

Suddenly, a gust of bloody wind brushed past his ears, blowing up the broken hair on his temples.The special envoy turned his head abruptly, and Van Helsing looked at him calmly, with white smoke still emitting from the muzzle of the gun in his hand.

And at his feet, there was a vampire with an unwilling face crawling, its heart was pierced by a silver bullet.In just a few seconds, the hole grew bigger and bigger, like corrosion, and the vampire was reduced to ashes.

"What are you thinking? Be careful."

Van Helsing said expressionlessly.Stepping on the pile of ashes, I walked past the envoy who was still in a daze: "Don't think that no one around means you are safe, maybe there is something secretly watching you."

Van Helsing is used to doing tasks alone, so he will remain vigilant in any environment, even in an absolutely safe area.

The special envoy is different. Although he is very strong, he is used to fighting with his companions. When he is not on guard against the enemy, he will always have his companions to remind and protect him.As a matter of course, his awareness and vigilance were much lower than Van Helsing's.

"Sorry, I won't hold you back."

Not long after he came in, he was saved by Fan Helsing because of his negligence... I am really useless... The special envoy was a little bored.

I thought that a proud lone ranger like him would be careless.He really underestimated Van Helsing.

The special envoy was a little unhappy.

And Fan Helsing's flat expression just now, although he was not ridiculed, why did he vaguely feel that he seemed to be looked down upon?
Well, why should I be so bored trying to figure out what this person thinks of me?

The envoy decided not to think about it any more, so he shook his head.Pull up your spirits and be vigilant to keep up with Van Helsing in front.

The number of vampires gradually increased along the way, one pounced up and was split by Van Helsing's sword, and then the vampires behind pounced up again.One after another went forward.

The blood of these monsters was continuously splashed on the portraits of the blood nobles and the two people on the wall because of the killing, and the disgusting thick bloody smell filled the entire Blood Palace.

Buckle, pierce, slash.

I repeated this countless times, but the vampires kept coming as if they couldn't kill them all.

The envoy was a little tired and impatient, he was not a patient person, and this endless battle made him irritable.He sneaked a glance at Van Helsing, who was piercing a vampire's heart with a sword at the moment. He didn't seem to be in a good condition, and his face was flushed.It seems that he also lost most of his physical strength in this battle.

"There is no way to go on like this..."

Van Helsing killed the vampires standing in front of him and the special envoy with a silver gun, and said to the special envoy, "Think of a way...get out of this damn place..."

Fan Helsing's complexion was not very good. When talking to him, his breath was a little short, and there was a lot of sweat on his forehead.

"Ah."

This is the only way left now, the special envoy nodded in response, swept the gun with his gun, beheaded the few vampires who were in the way like hungry wolves, and escaped from this bloody place with Van Helsing.

The terrain of the Blood Palace was like a labyrinth. The two walked around for a long time after escaping from the place full of vampires, but they couldn't find the palace of the blood nobles.

"It's really tricky." The envoy's patience was gradually exhausted, and he stopped and complained dissatisfiedly.

The pope's daughter didn't need anyone to protect her, but when something happened she asked unrelated people to rescue her.As a result, they were wandering around this disgusting place like headless flies because of her.

Maybe that girl's blood has been sucked dry long ago, and she will be a mummy when she is rescued, so it's better not to save her.

"Let's go back." The envoy said, his voice echoing in the empty passage.

Van Helsing was silent, the brim of his hat lowered covering his face.

"Go back. I haven't found it after searching for so long, maybe I died a long time ago." The special envoy said again.And along the way, except for the vampires, no other companions or their corpses could be seen at all.

Weird.

Tell him intuitively.

The bloody and oppressive space was terribly quiet, only the faint sound of bats flapping their wings came from somewhere.

"We'll look for it separately."

For a long time, Van Helsing's cold voice sounded in the air.

"You..." It seems that Van Helsing did not listen to his words. The special envoy frowned and was a little annoyed: "It's useless to search for it after everything has been said. Are you listening?!"

"Then look for them separately." Van Helsing ignored his words and even quickened his pace.

Really stubborn... The special envoy began to wonder whether Van Helsing's mind was full of hard stones... Otherwise, he would not listen to any persuasion.

"Don't you think it's strange?"

He quickly followed Van Helsing and grabbed his wrist, trying to persuade him to go back with him again.

Fan Helsing trembled slightly, and shook his hand vigorously in the next second.

"Get out of here!"

When the special envoy walked out of the blood palace, it was already approaching dawn.

There was a drizzle of rain falling from the sky, one drop after another fell on his face with several small scars.

You can return to town by following the winding path into the forest.It was almost dawn, and perhaps he would be able to see the door of Saint-Leon Castle open when he returned now, and the murmur of the priest praying to God could be heard from the church.

He didn't go back immediately, but looked back at the dark Blood Palace behind him - Van Helsing was not behind him, and the candles inside had already been burned out.

In fact, he was already walking slowly enough.

Every time he took a step, he was expecting the sound of footsteps coming from behind, wondering if he would turn around the next second, and the companion in the big purple-blue windbreaker was following behind him with a face of great reluctance.

He still hasn't come out.

Still looking for the pope's daughter?
Silly.

I thought so in my heart, but the special envoy still didn't leave the Blood Palace, and stood guard at the door, thinking that Van Helsing might come out soon.

"Oh? Isn't this the envoy of St. Leon's Church?"

A voice came from next to his ear, and the special envoy looked around. A girl with a black umbrella and a luxurious dress stood in front of him.

The envoy's eyes widened in disbelief: "Are you...the missing daughter of the Pope...Luna?"

"Is that how you talk to the Pope's daughter?"

Luna raised her eyebrows, her rosy eyes were full of arrogance as a nobleman.

"Hmph... Didn't you get captured by a vampire as a bride?"

An ominous premonition welled up in the special envoy's heart.

Luna's cherry lips parted slightly, hesitant to speak, and pursed into a beautiful arc.Xianxiansu turned the black umbrella handle again and again, and the rainwater dripping on the umbrella splashed.The cross pendant hanging on her chest reflected the white light of a pale crescent moon, and the moonlight that had not yet entered the clouds made her face pale to a strange degree.

Laughter, melodious as silver bells, did not cheer the mood.

"Master Special Envoy cares so much about me...couldn't it be because he has a heart of admiration for me?"

Ridicule and sulk look at each other.

The drizzle dripped down on the special envoy, and the wetness and stickiness made him a little upset.

"Don't talk about this with me." The envoy's face became cold.

"Isn't what I said right?" The rose-red pupils gradually deepened, and the greed hidden in the eyes dyed them bloodthirsty scarlet, but only for a moment.

"You guard the door of a married woman's house early in the morning before the sun rises. It's not that you have a heart for me... Could it be that someone has a wife hobby?"

"A married woman...?" The special envoy was puzzled, frowned and thought for a while before suddenly realizing.

"You are a member of the blood clan."

"Yes, and no. To be precise, I am the wife of a self-righteous prince among them." Luna said.

The prince's wife...meaning, the Pope's daughter is fine...

Then he...worse!
The special envoy suddenly mentioned it in his heart, without being wary of Luna's identity, he quickly turned around and stepped into the door behind him without hesitation.

Unprepared, someone suddenly hit him hard in the back. After a burst of severe pain, his eyes darkened and he fainted.

-

The heavy eyelids were lifted with difficulty, and the special envoy rubbed the back of his neck, which was still in pain, and found himself in the prison where the Holy See imprisoned criminals.

"This is……"

He rubbed his eyes tiredly, the damp air made him uncomfortable.

what happened?

Limbs were numb, and the special envoy struggled to get up from the haystack.There seemed to be some people arguing around, he looked towards the source of the sound, and a rosy red appeared in his sight - another cage beside him, it seemed... that the pope's daughter was imprisoned?
arguing with her...

The envoy rubbed his eyes again in disbelief.

Temple light?

His mind was still dizzy, and he suspected that he was dreaming.

"Let me go! Do you know what you are doing!"

The sharp female voice seemed to pierce his eardrums, and the special envoy regained consciousness.

"Heh... do you think that the power in the hands of the Pope is real power?" The Light of the Temple sneered, "Furthermore, you colluded with the blood clan and secretly married the prince of the blood clan without telling your father... You think this, no one knows?"

"You..." Luna froze for a moment, but quickly returned to her previous arrogant and angry look, "It has something to do with you? Regardless of whether that man has real power now, he has been the Pope for a day, and you are all just his subordinates." !"

"Of course it has something to do with me. You'd better pray that your father is a loving father. Goodbye."

Luna, who stopped yelling in the prison after the light of the temple said this, left the prison.

"Hmph! Unfortunately, I thought you were a heartfelt knight, but now it seems that you are no different from a dog eating garbage by the sewage!"

The special envoy quietly listened to the quarrel between the two - although Luna was the only one who was actually arguing.

Originally, he wanted to wait for the two of them to finish their quarrel before asking what happened to the Light of the Temple, but the man left quickly after throwing a word, and he didn't have a chance to speak at all.

"Hey, what happened." The special envoy was quite calm about his sudden and inexplicable imprisonment.

Luna's hand was still holding onto the black iron bars that imprisoned her unwillingly. When she heard the voice of the special envoy asking, she looked back at the special envoy with a gloomy expression, and curled up in a corner.

"Don't understand? They used me as a bargaining chip to force my father to abdicate."

"No, what I'm asking is, why am I here?"

Luna glanced at the special envoy angrily, twisting a dry straw on the ground and playing with it: "When you turned around, I just wanted to kill you. Then I fainted."

"Oh. That's a pity." The envoy teased.

"Hmph," Luna snorted coldly, turning away the unpleasant topic, "Aren't you angry?"

The envoy was puzzled: "Why should I be angry?"

"Well, another poor ignorant person." Luna sighed, threw away the straw in her hand, and pointed to the special envoy, "Simply put, you have been used."

The special envoy's pretty brows frowned into the word "Chuan" and questioned, "You mean...the Holy See is using me and Van?"

Luna nodded, then shook her head again: "You are supposed to serve the Holy See."

"No, the priest and the temple are like relatives to us, how is that possible?!"

The special envoy's hand grabbed the subway pole that separated them, and asked in disbelief.

"Hey..." Luna glanced at the excited special envoy like an idiot, and said, "How is it impossible? How can it be impossible to ask for a little reward after raising you for so long?"

"Then Van..." The envoy's voice began to tremble.

"Are you talking about the boy with the white hair?" Luna rolled her eyes. She remembered seeing Van Helsing when she went to church, and he was standing beside her.It's long and pretty.

That boy is so nervous, friend?

Thinking of this, Luna looked at the special envoy a few times, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him: "I guess the blood has been sucked dry by the vampire long ago. If you don't come out for so long, you must have died in it. After all, that place is the lair of the vampires."
