scepter

The vampire reacted very quickly. Before the white light spread to the entire shoulder, his other hand grabbed his shoulder and tore his arm to pieces—anyway, the regenerative ability of vampires is obvious to all, even if Now the pain was unbearable, but soon a new limb would grow again, and then he turned and disappeared into the darkness, no longer caring about the life or death of his companions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the vampire holding Augustine also escaped without a trace.

In a blinding white light, everyone saw the silver-haired priest standing there holding a staff. The silver hair moved without wind, and the yellow magic crystal on the staff blinded the eyes of thousands of people.Once again refreshed their understanding of the silver-haired priest.

This yellow magic crystal that money can't buy, even the archbishop in red may not be able to have a yellow magic crystal staff.In other words, this is the local tyrant among the priests, no, in terms of the appearance of the silver-haired priest, he is simply the rich and handsome among the priests!

To the people who were in a state of panic, the appearance of the silver-haired priest was like a light in the dark, and the stars in the dark night, so that their hearts suddenly had a direction. Well, it may be too exaggerated to say so Yes, but it’s not wrong to describe it as tears of gratitude. At least Paladin Bart is about to cry now, and he shouted: "Thank you, Goddess of Light!"

With a large expanse of bright cleansing magic, none of the remaining blood races could escape, and they were turned into ashes amidst the screams, completely destroyed by humanity.

Light magic is the nemesis of the vampire, but when the ability of the vampire is stronger than that of the priest, the latter will only have the fate of being slaughtered, and vice versa.The reason why those high-ranking priests were killed before is probably because they met the second-generation blood race, but now these are the third- and fourth-generation blood race, so Yannick has no pressure in seconds.Of course, if it wasn't by surprise, attacking the other party when he was the most smug, coupled with the magic amplification effect of the staff in his hand, it might not be so smooth.

Since the priest can handle it alone, there is no need for a vampire who likes old cows to eat young grass, otherwise, if Bart and the others see it, it will be another big trouble.

The silver-haired priest glanced at somewhere in the darkness, and lazily said: "Dear Bart, please correct me, I think it is not the goddess of light that you should thank, but me."

"Yes, Sir Hill, thank you!" Bart murmured, he still had lingering fears about the scene just now, even though he was not cowardly, he still lacked enough actual combat experience, just now he only had time to draw out his saber, and then he was shot Sweeping out, he broke a leg bone, and could only lie on the ground and watch a group of priests and knights being abused.

"You didn't take my words to heart at all, did you?" Yannick smirked, "You should be thankful that those few just now are only three or four generations of blood, otherwise even if I rushed over, I wouldn't be able to save you .”

Look at their side, a mid-level priest died, his heart was directly dug out by the vampire, and even the light healing technique was useless, unless the resurrection technique with many restrictions was used, but that would require the red-clothed archbishop to do it himself, he The knight was directly nailed to the trunk by a sharp branch, which also penetrated the heart.

Most of the other people were injured to varying degrees. Only Darwin, the mid-level priest who had been huddled behind a tree from the beginning, was miraculously unscathed, which made Yannick look at him a few more times.

When everyone heard his words, they all lowered their heads in shame, even Priest Afuri, who liked to sing the most contradictory tune, was no exception—if it wasn't for the silver-haired priest, they would all have to confess here.

The most important thing is that everything tonight originated from their actions without even sending someone to notify their nominal team leader. No matter what the reason for him to come in time, no one is secretly glad at this moment.

As if seeing everyone's doubts, Yannick quickly revealed the answer: "Before Bart asked Baker to come over and tell me, I had already put a mark magic on Alexander, that is to say, you made me waste a sixty An advanced tracking scroll for gold coins."

Everyone stared at him blankly.

"So," the silver-haired priest looked down at them, "From now on, I am your creditor."

"That," Alexander said cautiously, "Your Excellency Hill, Priest Augustine was captured by the other party..."

"Do you think we can snatch him back by rushing to the Ghost Castle?" The silver-haired priest raised his eyebrows, unusually aggressive.

But even so, the others didn't dare to talk back at all. They had already been wronged enough, and there was really no need to add another sum.

"So, before those vampires have time to come back with rescuers, you'd better go back to sleep." Yannick said lightly, "How you share the debt of the sixty gold coins is your business , but until then, I don't want you to be in danger again."

When the messy things at night were over and he returned to the memorable big bed in the hotel, Yannick was still full of emotions, thrills, fears, and maybe a little dream.

Just like what he said to others, those vampires tonight are only three or four generations of blood, which is most fortunate, otherwise, even if they are all three generations, Yannick may not be able to repel them so easily.

Of course, if he is in danger, the man hiding somewhere will definitely shoot, but he is more like a secret weapon to Yannick now, and he doesn't want the old vampire to be exposed unless it is a last resort, otherwise how can he just tell Yannick? It is a big trouble for Bart's group to explain their relationship. At this stage, these people are not even close comrades in arms. Yannick doesn't want them to know too much, including Bart.

Thinking of this, the obedient Darwin priest flashed in front of his eyes, and Yannick knocked on the table, completely lost in thought.

The man who originally turned back into a kitten to deceive others was unwilling to be left out, and at some point he turned back into a human form, tsk-tsk: "My dear, are you determined to save that idiot priest? I suggest you not to go, although he is very likely to Not dead yet."

Facing him, there was a lot to say, so there was no need to avoid it. He glanced at the man lightly, and Yannick said: "I don't want to go either, but from the perspective of the team leader, whether to go or not has its own advantages and disadvantages. Haven't made up my mind."

The man was aroused by him, "Let's listen."

"The advantage is that if I succeed, my prestige among them will be even higher. Not only have I saved them, but I have not given up on the companions who were taken away. From then on, they will no longer dare to disobey my orders. Maybe I can also have A few loyal subordinates."

"Sounds great, what's the downside?"

"The downside is that the rescue operation will be very difficult. It is impossible for me to go to the Ghost Castle alone to die. It is conceivable that I will have to turn to you for help. This makes me feel very unhappy."

The man's eyes lit up: "Oh, after hearing what you said, I changed my mind. It's really a good thing to save that idiot priest, and it can make you owe me a favor. Come on, dear, I'm happy Be the warrior of the princess!"

"Compared to Princess, I'd rather you call yourself Your Excellency." Yannick said lazily, "You responded so positively, which made me very worried that you would just leave me there and run away after you took me there."

"I won't do that, you know I'm deeply fascinated by you." The man took his hand and kissed it lightly. The priest didn't refuse this time, and the man then added a preamble: " At this stage."

The priest sneered, but was not angry.

The race of vampires is relatively selfish and cold-blooded. This is known from the vampires who attacked them before abandoning their companions and scrambling to escape. Ansair is the first generation of vampires created by the God of Darkness, and this nature has been brought to the extreme .

He was willing to enter into a contract with Yannick. To be honest, it was not easy in itself. What's more, if this man wanted to, he could use coercive means to force Yannick to submit. This priest is very self-aware.

Although he dug a hole for the other party to jump into, the other party has to be willing to do it, so Yannick did not refuse when the man occasionally asked for some sweetness. After all, cooperation cannot always be paid unilaterally. It's not impossible for the man to become furious and unilaterally tear up the contract after playing with the cat for a long time.

"I don't know if Your Excellency the Duke has any ideas to share?"

"It's very simple." The man rubbed his chin, "Didn't that Taylor say that the castle holds dances every weekend? We just need to pretend to be vampires and get in."

Yannick was a little surprised: "Are you sure? Take a priest to a group of vampires?"

The Blood Duke calmly said, "Of course, as long as you change your clothes, hide the marks on your hands, and keep yourself from showing your flaws, there is no problem at all."

"Okay, what about after you go in?"

"I suppose their prom is supposed to be more than just a prom?"

"Yes." Yannick said, "That Taylor said earlier that there will be an auction."

"That's right. Walter's descendants like to do such boring things the most. Your priest may be brought to the auction. That's his luck. We can buy him then."

The priest frowned slightly: "Go to the vampire's ball and buy a priest? Are you sure you won't have any problems?"

The man whistled frivolously: "If it goes well, of course there will be no problem, oh, but you have to make sure you bring enough money, it is not cheap to buy a priest, but the world of the blood race also uses gold coins, this point no need to worry."

"..." the priest sighed, "I'm mourning for my purse, it looks like they're going to owe me a lot of money again."

The man laughed and said, "Honey, you look so cute when you worry about money!"

The priest complained expressionlessly: "This is the trouble of being poor. You can see this cute expression as long as you walk around any slum. But I don't think you will ever understand, so I say rich People are so annoying."

It's not a good idea to go to the vampire's ball with a vampire, Yannick thought, but at this stage there is no better choice, if Augustine can't be rescued, the effect of his power this time will be To make a big discount, others may reluctantly obey his orders because he saved them, but it is impossible to convince them.If you want to gain a foothold in the Holy See, you must have your own people. This incident is both a crisis and an opportunity. These people are all excluded by the Holy See. If you can get their loyalty, it will undoubtedly be the first step to success.

Either do nothing, or do the best, this is Yannick's creed.

So he thought twice, and decided to take the risk, and chose to trust Ansair, a fickle old blood who pretended to be tender.

But how to explain it to Bart and the others is another big trouble.

When everyone heard that he was going to take risks alone, they all expressed their willingness to follow him. Among them, his paladin Bart had the strongest reaction.

"Your Excellency Hill, this is an extremely dangerous matter. Do you want us to lose the team leader!"

The more Bart talked, the more excited he became, and his eye circles turned red. After Yannick appeared in the forest in time, he was the one who was most moved. If he was a little wavering and hesitant before, now he has decided to follow Yannick to the end.

"Yes, Your Excellency Hill!" Alexander also said emotionally: "Bart is right, we are already guilty enough for letting you clean up the reckless mistakes we made, please don't make us worry anymore, if you really want to If you want to go, please let me follow!"

Others also responded one after another, Dante glanced at his priest, Ai Fuli did not express his opinion, and he could not say that he would go without authorization, so he could only sigh secretly.

Who knew that Avery had noticed his eyes long ago, and said angrily: "Look at what I am doing, can I say no, Augustine was arrested to save me, I am also very grateful to Hill Your Excellency, don't treat me so cold-blooded!"

Dante smiled gratifiedly: "No, I'm very happy, Your Excellency."

He has followed this high-ranking priest for several years, seeing him offend people all the way, hit a wall all the way, and then gradually sink down, and then intensify his opposition to others and his boss. Even this mission, he didn't think too much about it. I hope, because Avery is so good at offending people, no one can get along with him, and no boss would like a subordinate who always finds fault with himself, but this time it seems to be a little different.

Avery felt that his smile was too intrusive, so he snorted and turned his head fiercely.

The chubby mid-level priest Darwin looked at the others, and found that he was the only one who hadn't made a statement, so he quickly said, "Your Excellency Hill, I am also willing to follow you!"

Unlike others, he has brought a little sophistication since he joined the team, and he always hides at the end when things happen, just like last night, when the vampire appeared, he had already gone to a hiding place, although a The mid-level priests can't play much role, but everyone can't help but feel that he is greedy for life and afraid of death. Fortunately, his cowardly image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so everyone is not too surprised and harsh.

And Darwin's tolerance is far beyond their imagination. Even if Avery taunts him, he just smiles timidly and keeps silent. As time goes by, even Avery finds it boring.

Seeing the eagerness of the people to sign up, Yannick was more than happy, but also had a headache.

He was happy because he had begun to establish a basic prestige among this group of people, at least they began to treat him as a companion and captain, and the headache was because he had no intention of taking them with him at all.

Just kidding, these people's acting skills are not generally bad. It is estimated that they have been recognized before stepping into the gate of the castle, and his contract with the black cat blood clan does not include the safety of these people. If the whole army is wiped out by then , Is he still going to find a group of people to retrain?Just returning to the Holy See can't explain why he was the only one who survived back!

"Listen to me." He coughed lightly and said, and everyone gradually became quiet.

A little black cat dexterously jumped onto the shoulder of the silver-haired priest and looked at the crowd. Its dark green eyes gave everyone the illusion of being targeted by a poisonous snake, but its cute figure made people feel that it was too much. too much.

"Before Augustine was captured, you must have heard what those vampires said, so the other party should not kill him for the time being. This is the most fortunate point, but that does not mean that he will not be cruelly You know, vampires regard priests as enemies and hate them to the core. They will definitely try their best to torture Augustine, such as cutting off his body piece by piece, or cutting his skin open, stuffed Get bugs in, or let him walk in red-hot iron shoes or something..."

His description made everyone pale. Oh my god, vampires are indeed a terrifying race, not even the Inquisition!

The little black cat patted the priest's neck with its tail in dissatisfaction. This is all your idea to intimidate others, okay?

"Don't make trouble." Yannick reprimanded softly, picked up the kitten and put it on the chair, and continued to turn to the crowd with a serious face: "So, this will be a very difficult rescue operation. I want to rescue Augustine. It's not just me, each of us has something to do. I need you to do something public, like go to the sheriff and ask him to cooperate and hunt vampires."

"Of course, it is foreseeable that this will have no effect, but we can use this to divert the attention of vampires, making them think that we are anxious and angry about the disappearance of our companions, but there is nothing we can do."

"As for me, I will look for clues about their exposure in private, wait for the opportunity to catch a second or third generation vampire, and exchange him for Augustine. This is the best way."

Bart hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Hill, do you want to find clues alone? Please let me go with you!"

Yannick smiled: "No, Bart, your acting skills are terrible. I want to pretend to be a vampire to contact them. If you are here, I will definitely show my feet. You can act with Ai Fuli and the others. Ai Fuli, I am not here, You are the captain, I hope you take good care of them and protect everyone as much as possible, can you do it?"

Ai Fuli was taken aback for a moment, he obviously did not expect that the silver-haired priest would appoint himself, who had been against him everywhere before, as the team leader. "Of course, I will do better than you." He forced himself to pretend that he didn't care, paused, and couldn't help but ask, "How do we contact each other?"

Yannick said: "Three days later, at the hotel above the Twilight Bar, you guys know which room I'm in, so meet there. If I don't show up by then..."

He paused intentionally, and seeing that everyone showed concern, he said: "Go directly to the Principality of Ceylon, don't stay, and immediately go back to the Imperial Capital of Jiade through the magic circle, report this matter to Bishop Lahe, and then go back to the Holy See. Just ignore me."

When he said this, he undoubtedly prepared for the worst. Baker and Bart were the first to shout out: "Your Excellency Hill!"

"No, do you want us to leave you and escape alone!" Alfred stood up abruptly.

"Okay, don't get excited, I just arranged everything in advance to avoid any unexpected situation." Yannick comforted, showing a confident smile. "I'll be fine, I promise."

"Honey, your acting skills are great," the man complained, "if I didn't know that you planned to go to the prom with me, I couldn't help but believe that you really planned to go to the prom." Sacrifice yourself, is it really okay for you to deceive their feelings like this!"

The priest unbuttoned his robe, and said casually: "You often need to use a little bit of tricks to tame wild horses, alright Duke, let me remind you, you are not a kind person, don't speak in such a compassionate tone, Kind of gross."

The man raised his eyebrows: "Oh, are you going to change clothes in front of me, I can't help but turn into a wolf!"

"It doesn't matter," the priest said softly, "Anyway, you can only watch, not eat."

The author has something to say: 1. There are repeated questions about Miao Gong’s personality: we all know that he is Gong 2, but he himself does not know that he will eventually become Gong 2 [Meow Gong: ...], so at this stage It is impossible to say that he will give up on the priest immediately. On the one hand, he is fascinated by the charm of the priest, and on the other hand, the selfish nature of his character is at work. After all, he is a 1000-year-old blood race, so it is impossible to subdue him so easily.

2. About the IQ of the little friends: It’s not that they have low IQ, but they are eager to make contributions and have been left out for too long. If the task is completely missed, it means a lifetime of cold storage. However, the priests are not in tune at the beginning, so everyone will feel that Unreliable, and instead consider the issue of their own actions, after all, there is no tacit understanding or trust between them.As for whether the action is reckless or not, it all depends on their mutual distrust and impatience.
