I really want to die

There was a murder case, which was dealt with by the city magistrate and the church. There was no need for Su Chen to come forward, but the method of killing this time was a bit weird. Neither the city magistrate nor the church staff dared to handle it without authorization.So the double appeal letters from the city government and the church were placed on Su Chen's desk.

Especially the new Bishop Francis, at the end of the letter, tactfully expressed his wish that the lord would go to the church to investigate the scene in person. The lord is wise and wise, with torch-like eyes, he will be able to see the murderer at a glance.

Being the lord of the city, he still needs to investigate the case. Su Chen, who remembered that he still has a blood-sickness problem, suddenly felt the malice from this world towards him.

After tidying up briefly, Su Chen took Thomas and left the castle again in a carriage.

The carriage was driving on the narrow and winding streets, and the garbage dumped at the corners gave off an unpleasant smell.The protruding eaves of the wooden houses on both sides completely blocked the sunlight, only a glimmer of light appeared on a small piece of glass, so the light looked particularly dark.And the streets are supplemented by uneven cobblestones of different sizes, which caused Su Chen in the carriage to be jolted until his bones almost fell apart.

All of this shows that the streets of towns are not even comparable to the yellow dirt roads in the countryside.At least, there are no rotten vegetable leaves, rotten leftovers or even dead mice and other small animal corpses on both sides of the dirt road, but grass and wild flowers.

Su Chen finally waited until the carriage stopped, opened the door and was about to get off, Thomas drove to the door, lowered his head and said to Su Chen: "My lord, it's the mayor's attendant, and he said that another body was found in the early hours of this morning. The corpse is also a naked woman whose body has been drained of blood, please go to the scene and take a look."

Su Chen paused for a moment when he pushed the door open, and then stepped down from the car.

The corpse was in a small alley, which was fairly clean, and the only thing left was the female corpse lying on the ground.

The clothes were stripped and thrown aside, and the white and smooth skin was stuck to the cold ground, completely exposed to the air.There are traces of love on the body, especially the dark purple sucking marks on the neck.Other than that, there were no wounds on his body, and there was no trace of blood on the ground.

Su Chen noticed that there was no expression of pain and fear on the woman's face, but a trace of joy remained.

So, is it love killing?

The mayor's attendant came over, bowed his head and respectfully said to Su Chen: "Dear Marquis, the death of another victim is exactly the same as this victim, and the mayor thinks it is the same murderer. It's just this murderer It is very likely that it is beyond our capabilities, so the mayor wants to ask the Marquis, the Archbishop and even His Majesty the Pope for help." He paused here, raised his head slightly, and said slowly in a strange tone .

"Master Marquis, there are terrible things coming to our town. If we don't find them and eliminate them as soon as possible, it will bring great disaster to all of us."

Su Chen was taken aback for a moment, and frowned slightly, "Scary thing?"

The mayor's attendant took a deep breath, as if to increase his courage, he pursed his lips tightly, walked to the side of the corpse, raised her head and showed the back of her neck to Su Chen.

"Master Marquis, please look here."

Su Chen looked at the place he pointed, his eyes widened slightly, and he was taken aback.

There are two small holes on the back of the woman's neck, where the bruises are the heaviest, and it's at the back, so it's really not easy to find if you don't point it out.

"It's this kind of thing, so we need to rely on the power of the church."

Afterwards, Su Chen went to see Bishop Francis and saw another victim, and this victim was the same except that the one Su Chen had seen before was younger and more beautiful.

The reason why Bishop Francis met Su Chen was also to ask for help, but he was different from the mayor. The mayor wanted to follow the route of the upper echelon of the church, while he wanted to use Su Chen's hand to get rid of the murderer directly.

"Master Marquis, I have a set of well-preserved silver weapons here, which are specially used to deal with this kind of thing. You have many knights, and I have weapons that can kill this kind of thing, so gather the strength of Lord Marquis and my church, We can kill that thing ourselves."

Bishop Francis said this, Su Chen looked at the things he took out, and fell silent.

On the way back, Su Chen asked Thomas what he thought of this matter.

Ever since Thomas saw the two corpses, he had become very silent, and the expression on his face almost froze.

"My lord, this kind of thing has not appeared for a long time. I have only read their descriptions in books. They are cruel and cold, have supernatural power, are almost invincible, and have permanent life. They suck human blood, Eternal youth is the collection of all evils in the world."

"Because they rely on blood to maintain their immortality, they are called vampires."

"The appearance of vampires must be accompanied by blood and death. My lord, please kill them."

Thomas looked at Su Chen and said in a cautious tone.

In the next few days, several more victims appeared, and they were no longer limited to towns. The same thing happened in villages and manors.

The hunting range of this vampire has expanded.

Because of this incident, the appointment ceremony of Bishop Francis was cancelled.

And at this time, a rumor was circulating in the neighboring towns and estates.It is said that some nobles blasphemed the gods and lived an extremely corrupt life. He brutally treated the poor in his territory, robbed them of their property, and robbed underage girls for abuse.His behavior angered the sky, so the sky sent down demons to bring disaster to this land.

As for why this kind of disaster didn't target the nobleman himself, the rumor didn't mention it, it just revealed that the nobleman must be punished if he wanted to expel the demon.

Su Chen sent the knights of the small half of the castle to patrol, but they failed to catch the trace of the vampire, but the number of victims was increasing day by day.

Because vampires only hunt young and beautiful girls, all young girls have almost disappeared during this period of time. They no longer appear outside, but hide at home.In this way, the occurrence of the murder was really contained, but the trace of the vampire was still not found.

For the sake of long-term peace in the future, this vampire must be found and eliminated no matter what.Given that this vampire has been only hunting secretly and dare not expose himself, Su Chen judges that his strength is not very strong, at least the knights of the castle make him afraid.This also means that as long as the vampire can be found, the armed forces of the castle can destroy him.

So the question now is how to find this vampire.

Su Chen looked through almost all the books that recorded the stories of vampires, but the descriptions on them were rather vague, and even some places were inconsistent, which did not have much reference value.

For example, he mentioned the method of killing vampires, saying that only the church's cross and holy water can destroy this evil creature.However, it is said later that only by nailing a white thorn stake into the vampire's heart, or burning it, can it truly die.

Su Chen closed the book and fell into deep thought. At this moment, Charlie walked in and handed him a bronzing letter with a wax seal of roses on it.

"My lord, the Viscount Mainz is hosting a banquet and invites you to attend."

"No." Su Chen was not interested in such activities, and refused without raising his head.Charlie paused, with a hesitant look on his face. After a while, he looked at Su Chen and said with some hesitation:

"The Viscount Mainz said that he has a way to deal with vampires."

Su Chen raised his head, looked at Charlie, and asked, "What method?"

"The Viscount Mainz said that I want you to go and tell you." Charlie frowned when he said this, and his tone was a bit wrong when he mentioned the Viscount. Su Chen noticed that he was wrong, so he couldn't help asking road:

"Is there anything special about this Viscount Mainz?"

Charlie was silent for a while, probably trying to organize his words. He said slowly while thinking: "Viscount Mainz, he has a bad reputation. The people in his territory can be said to be the most difficult group of people, because they have to pay heavy taxes. , and often served in heavy service. His title was inherited from his ancestors. After the land was granted to the Viscount of Mainz, he expanded it nearly twice, because he would plunder and occupy the lands of other barons and viscounts who were weaker than him. "Charlie paused when he said this, as if the following words were a bit difficult to say.

"It is rumored that this viscount is not only warlike, but also very lustful, especially young widows and married women. It is said that he has a manor dedicated to raising beauties, and the floor is painted gold, so people call it ' Golden Land Manor'."

Su Chen frowned after hearing Charlie's words, and asked, "Then he said that there is a way to deal with vampires, is it credible?"

"The Viscount Mainz did have an incident against vampires in his ancestors, so it may be possible to record some methods to deal with vampires." Charlie stopped here, looking at Su Chen with a worried face, "It's just, at this time I'm always a little uneasy when the Viscount Mainz invites your lord to attend the banquet. If it's really not possible, your lord should not go, as long as we don't give up our search, we will find and kill that vampire one day."

After pondering for a moment, Su Chen said in a low voice: "No, I don't like hidden dangers, whether it's this vampire or that Viscount Mainz."

After Su Chen made the decision to go to the banquet, Charlie hurried away, mainly to select the accompanying people for Su Chen.In addition to selecting a team of well-equipped knights, a few strong or skilled people were selected from the servants in the castle. These people have no land and can only live by selling their bodies. It's some bums.

When Su Chen set off on the second day, he found a familiar figure in the team, fixed his eyes on the past, and saw that unforgettable face even though he had only seen it once.

august.

When did this man come to the castle?How did he get into the accompanying team?

Su Chen frowned slightly, without saying anything, turned around and got into the carriage.

When Su Chen arrived at the manor where the Viscount Mainz lived, the Viscount put up a big formation to greet him outside.

Looking at the manor in front of him, which was bigger and more exquisite and beautiful than ordinary castles, Su Chen thought, regardless of other directions for this viscount, he must be rich.Where his money came from is self-explanatory.

"Ah, welcome to Mr. Marquis. It is a great honor for me to let Mr. Marquis set foot on this land." The Viscount Mainz sang an aria-like sentence and walked in front of Su Chen, but when he saw his face, he clearly He froze for a moment, and after a moment, the smile on his face became even brighter.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but I didn't expect you to be even more beautiful." The Viscount Mainz showed a little obsession in his eyes, and while talking, he was going to grab Su Chen's hand and give him a kiss.

Su Chen frowned, withdrew his hand and took a step back, staring at the Viscount Mainz indifferently.Thomas next to him took a step forward holding his saber, stood in front of Su Chen, and shouted to Viscount Mainz:

"Don't be rude to the lord, Viscount, please confirm your identity."

In this era, there are face-to-face and hand-kissing rituals. The former is generally used by people who are relatively close, while the latter is mostly used by men to women.Mainz wanted to give Su Chen a hand kiss, so in his heart, this 16-year-old lord was just a pretty little boy.

After being blocked, the smile on Viscount Mainz's face remained unchanged. He bowed to Su Chen to apologize, straightened up and looked at Su Chen, his smile widened, and he said word by word in a slow tone: "Ah, please forgive my rudeness , Lord Marquis."
