However, the "Wind of Exploration" can penetrate the building to a certain extent, and Fia, who is still flying, only needs to use "Mind Control" to violently destroy the building, and the chaos can be taken out and cremated.

Although the houses were destroyed, the houses on the street were corrupted by chaos and were already uninhabitable. For a situation that was too bad, even throwing a few fireballs from Fia would not affect it.

The strange thing is that there are dying residents under the ruins in the city, as Estier found.It has been four days since the magic catastrophe happened. Apart from the "refuge" in the northwest corner of the city, chaos has already spread all over the city. These dying people should have been covered and killed by chaos like the little nobles who hid in the carriage and escaped, but they survived until Now.Fiya even saw Chaos flowing around the dying person, but did not climb onto the body of the dying person at all, and there was no trace of Chaos burning on these dying people, which was incomprehensible.

Because of these survivors, Fia slowed down the speed of cleaning up the chaos on the street, and Estier's convoy rested outside the city for a long time. When the group arrived at the "shelter" in the northwest corner of the city, the time had passed. Came in the evening of the day.

See you again as if you were born again.

Fia could describe the people in the shelter in this way.

A shelter is not a single house, but a neighborhood.There are about 500 people staying in the refuge, which can be considered a relatively large number.Although they survived by relying on the food in the ruins for the past few days, the wells were polluted by chaos, and the streets were full of chaos. The situation that they could only wait to die made them almost desperate.Therefore, when they heard Fia say that Estier's army was behind, they all burst into cheers as if they had been reborn, and the people hugged each other and wept with joy, thankful that the lord did not abandon them.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why the refuge can maintain order is because there are nobles who have worked under Earl Oro in the refuge leading them, and with such a leader, Estier knows the situation in the refuge. The process is much simpler.

Today, the army took over the task of guarding the defense line of the shelter, and the relaxed people sat on the ground and gorged on the food that Fia brought. The immovable bread can be boiled into batter, and the salted fish can provide salt and meat.

Because there is not enough fuel and food is limited, the people in the shelter have been facing the problem of starvation, so when I saw the soldiers bring a big pot and light a fire to cook bread in the open space, I heard Estelle announce that from now on, this kind of food will be eaten every day After serving two meals, their faces were full of hope.People lined up to receive food, sat on the ground, enjoying hot food in the evening glow, and the whole shelter was full of heat.

It's just that ordinary people who don't know the truth are the only ones who are happy. For Estier, who has grasped the status quo, the real challenge is yet to come.

"Miss San means that we are the only ones left in the whole city of Ouluo?" The voice was full of disbelief, and the old man standing near the food distribution point asked Estier, "Only these less than 500 people are still alive? "

"Yeah." Looking at the long line of people not far away, Estier nodded solemnly, "Except for this place, all places have been corrupted by chaos, and the castle has not been spared. Thank you, Abel, Leave it to me here."

He was not happy because of Estier's speech, but as if struck by lightning, the gray-haired old man was pale and numb, and slumped on the ground, "20 people, 20 people are dead...my wife And the child... What about the Earl? How about the Earl? And Miss Noreen! Last night, Miss San, you asked me if the Earl was here, don’t you know where the Earl has gone? "

Knowlton on the side hurriedly helped the old man up, while Estelle bit her lip lightly and answered with difficulty.

"……I have no idea."

"Aren't you in the castle when the disaster happened?! The Earl and Miss Noreen should be in the castle too! They're not by your side..."

When he got the answer in his heart, the old man trembled all over his body.

"They're all dead... Oro City is finished..."

"Calm down, there are still people fleeing outside the city. As long as we drive away the chaos in the city, we can build Oro City again. Don't let the leaders see you like this."

Knowlton shook the old man, trying to cheer him up, but the old man blushed and roared like a man who had lost hope.

"How else can we rebuild! The entire city is gone! With only our few people, as long as the group of black monsters come over a little bit, we will all die! Without the Earl and Miss Noreen, where can we organize Resistance!"

"We have help."

Angry at the old man's self-abandonment, Knowlton's expression became impatient, and he pointed to Fia who was standing next to Estier - under Estir's plea, Fia did not release the "flying" magic Manufactured light wings.

"Did you see it too? The scene of the elf princess creating food and destroying chaos just now! My lord sister invited the elf princess of the seventh rank. Even if my father and sister Noreen are away, my lord sister can take care of herself! She is the future Ou Count Lowe!"

"Nonsense, relying on a wild--"

"asshole."

Before the word "wild species" was spoken, Knowlton, whose face was full of anger, punched the old man in the face, and with the dull sound, the old man collapsed to the ground.

"I regard you as a respectable elder, but you treat my elder sister like this!"

Although he was knocked down to the ground, the old man did not let go, instead he raised his upper body, pointing his trembling fingers at Estier with a complex expression, and yelled hysterically.

"It must be her, she must be the one who brought the Darkborn and the group of black monsters here! As long as the Earl and Miss Noreen disappear, this bastard will be able to succeed. She is probably already fantasizing about becoming Earl Oro Look! How can such a person avenge the Earl and Miss Noreen, and give an explanation to the 20 dead citizens!"

"you--"

With the sound of the long sword being unsheathed, Knowlton swung his sword and slashed at the old man.

But before that, Estelle stopped Knowlton.She pulled Knowlton aside, and walked towards the old man expressionlessly.

The old man couldn't help but retreated a distance.

"what are you going to do?"

"I thank you for maintaining the order here, but I don't allow you to insult my identity and bloodline. I am a purebred vampire born of Gareth Olo and Belmore Olo, the third son of Earl Olo's family. Girl, anyone who insults my bloodline should be punished, and you cannot be exempted! However, I will give you an answer to your question!"

Estier snatched the sword from Knowlton's hand, and in the sight of people looking over because of the movement, she cut the blade of the palm of her hand.

The blood did not fall to the ground, but a blood-colored magic circle was outlined in Estier's palm, as if to demonstrate, Estier raised her right hand high.

"I swear by the soul of Estier Oluo, no matter who is responsible for this disaster, even if I turn into an undead who is despised by everyone, I, Estier, will definitely make him pay the price in blood!"

A dignified voice resounded through the streets.

Estier's blond hair tied with a ribbon danced in the wind, and her determined and determined eyes were like blazing sunlight, making people afraid to look at her.

And as if echoing Estier's words, the blood-colored magic array in Estier's palm shone with ominous dark red lines, and the light penetrated the palm, and amidst the scorching sound of skin being burned, the strange pattern of lines appeared Engraved on the back of Estelle's hand.

This is a blood contract.

A soul-guaranteed contract that only vampires can use.Any contract guaranteed by a blood contract can be regarded as an unbreakable oath.The blood pact is connected with the soul of the vampire, as long as the vampire breaks the oath, the blood pact will destroy the vampire's soul.Even if a vampire has the ability to almost resurrect, it cannot escape the fate of death under the blood pact.

And now, if Estier cannot avenge Earl Oro and sister Noreen while she is alive, then she will become an undead under the blood contract, and will always run to complete the blood contract.

There were whispers from the crowd, and people looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what to do.

Knowlton wanted to rush forward to stop Estier, but Anastasia stopped him. The Blood Pact is an extremely sacred and determined ceremony among vampires. Knowlton's blocking is to tarnish Estier's determination .

In the stunned expression of the old man, Estier's bloody eyes showed contempt.

"Are you satisfied now? I am a purebred, a descendant of the Earl of Oro's family in the Duchy of Bart. I will fulfill my obligation to become the Earl of Oro and avenge my father, sister, and the 20 citizens of Oro City. roll!"

"Hurry up and take him down!"

The soldiers reacted to Knowlton's roar, and they hurried forward and dragged away the old man who opened his mouth and tried to be powerless to refute.

All of a sudden, there were only people looking at each other and soldiers with worried and uneasy faces on the street.

"elder sister--"

Without Anastasia to stop her, Knowlton hurried forward, but Estier turned her palm towards Knowlton, gesturing for Knowlton to shut up.

"I have made up my mind, no need to say more."

Returning the sword to Knowlton, Estier glanced at the surrounding people. Just now, everyone's eyes fell on Estier, but now when Estir looked back, no one dared to look at Alice teal.

They are afraid.

Estier's actions have proved her determination. The existence of the blood pact is enough to dispel doubts. No one dares to point fingers at Estier's revenge.Although not yet recognized by the king, she is already the new Earl of Oro.

"Continue with your own business, and start to clean up the chaos in the city after dawn. With the eldest princess of the Elf Kingdom, chaos is not an invincible enemy!"

No one dared to answer aloud, but their actions had already given Estier the answer.Soldiers returned to their posts, while people waiting for relief lined up again.The difference from before was that people were much quieter, for fear that if they were louder, they would be considered dissatisfied with Estier's rule.

After the order returned to normal, Estier turned around and looked at Fia with eyes that couldn't see her emotions clearly.

"Sorry, I have to stay with you for a while. If you need it, you can find Knowlton." Estier's slender eyelashes trembled, and her eyes moved to the ground. "I want to be alone."

Without further words, Estier walked into the distance alone.

When the sun set on the western mountain and the last ray of purple light was put away on the horizon, night finally fell.

It's midsummer, and even the evening wind blows over my body, but it can't bring coolness.The heat wave that has not receded is carried by the wind, and it is like stepping into a steamer when it is slapped on the face.

Even if there are not many living things in the city, things like mosquitoes are still everywhere.

Fiya in the corridor smacked her lips in dissatisfaction. Just now, she used "Mind Control" to kill a mosquito surrounding her.The blood of the elf is very attractive to mosquitoes, and she has been fighting mosquitoes since she set off from Aurora City.Although the mouthparts of mosquitoes cannot penetrate Fia's skin, just hearing the buzzing sound of a mosquito is disturbing enough, not to mention seeing it lying on the skin. Thoughts of life and death.

Using the flames to turn his mosquito corpse into fly ashes, Fia, who was walking in the corridor, sighed quietly.

Where she is now is a well-preserved two-storey building in the shelter.Originally, this was a house bought by a businessman to rest and store goods. Now that the businessman is away and the situation is special, it was requisitioned by Knowlton.

Although compared with the slave trader's mansion where Fiya lived, it is a bit crude, but in today's situation, having a closed room and a bed is already a favorable condition.

I don't know what happened to Estelle.

Fia murmured in her heart.

Since Estier made the blood contract in the evening, Fia has never seen Estier again. She only knows that Estier stays in the room on the second floor and refuses all visits. Even Anastasia and Li The dinners that were brought up in the past were also politely pushed back by Estier.According to Liti, Estier was not in a good spirit when she opened the door, which made Fia a little worried.

From a leader's point of view, it is a bit of a failure to show reluctance to meet people just after arriving at the new camp, and it will make people who have just ignited hope feel uneasy.If Estier could give a speech when the food was distributed in the evening, Estier could bring people's hearts together, but unfortunately, she chose to leave alone at that time.

However, from Estier's point of view, it's not like Fia couldn't understand Estier's behavior.The old man named Abel, who worked under Earl Oro, was willing to stand up and maintain the order of the refuge in a special period, which is enough to show his responsibility and sense of responsibility. He is clearly different from the group of small nobles.

However, even such people openly call Estier the bastard, think that Estier is not qualified to be the successor of the earl, and even think that Estier is the one who arranges the tragedy, and it is impossible for her to avenge Earl Oro So much so that Estier had to use a blood contract to prove her innocence, which was undoubtedly a blow to Estier.

Estelle is not a mature person, and everything is too heavy for her who is only 15 years old.

Good luck tricks people.

Apart from lamenting the injustice of fate, Fia had nothing to do.It is impossible for her to grow Estier's other wing, let alone change the past of Estier's mother.The suffering fate of Estier's mother and the fact that Estier only had half of her wings made people think that Estier was not the Earl's own, but the wild species of Estier's mother outside.This is a fact that has already happened, and no one can change it.

Having said that, Fia still chose at this time—it should be nine or ten o'clock at night—to check on Estier's situation.

Even if you just ask Estier, it's better than ignoring her at all.There are still many things waiting for Estier tomorrow, she can't continue to be depressed, she must hurry up and arrange detailed plans.

Sighing again, Fia moved her neck and stopped in front of Estier's room.

I have to think about how to speak.

Fia took a step forward, ready to reach out and knock on the door.

Then, Fiya's brows, which were still troubled just now, frowned instantly.

A faint, disgusting smell flooded into Fia's nostrils.

As if she had missed a step when going down the stairs, Fiya felt a thump in her heart, and her chest tightened suddenly.

"Estier!"

Without any hesitation, Fia used "Mind Control" to forcefully break open the door, and then, a stronger smell of rust poured into Fia's nose.

There were blood splatters all over the ceiling and walls, the things on the cabinet were overturned, the quilt and bed sheets fell to the ground, obvious signs of fighting appeared in front of Fia's eyes, and the whole room was stained red with blood.

There was no sign of Estelle in the house, but the windows were intact.

Is it—

Just as a bad premonition appeared in Fiya's heart, something touched her ankle suddenly. Fia moved aside reflexively, and looked down at the thing that touched her ankle.

It was Estelle lying at the base of the wall.

Like a severely wounded dying corpse, Estier's face and hair were all stained red with blood, and her skin was covered with stab wounds.

The thing that touched Fia's ankle just now was Estelle's bloody hand.

"……save."

The weak voice had just rang out, and Estier lost all movement as her fingers drooped weakly.

"Hey!"

Fei Ya immediately squatted down, ignoring the blood on Estier's body, and hugged Estier horizontally.Then, he scanned the room with "Magic Vision" and "Wind of Exploration".

Although there was no trace of the enemy in the room, Estier was obviously assassinated, and it was not safe here.Fia left the room with Estier in her arms, forcibly destroyed the windows in the corridor, and flew straight to the carriage.

Came to the carriage in the blink of an eye, and had no time to answer Anastasia's inquiry. Fia lifted the curtain and put Estier flat on her back in the carriage.With the hand of space, he took out the silver dagger at his waist and cut his fingers, causing the blood to drip on Estier's body, and then tested Estir's breath and heartbeat with the other free hand.

Fortunately, there is still a breath.

As long as there is a breath, the nano-organism can save people.

As the nano body took effect, granulation sprouted from the wound on Estier's body at a speed visible to the naked eye.Relieved, Fia began to untie Estier's blood-stained dress.

How offensive, but it's about knowing exactly where it hurts.

While apologizing in her heart, Fia glanced at Estier's well-proportioned body covered in blood and checked her injuries.At the same time, Anastasia, who was feeding the eight-legged horse outside the carriage, also hurried into the carriage. After seeing Estier covered in blood, her expression froze.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with Ms. Estier?"

"It was an assassination. Someone entered Estier's room while the guards were not paying attention."

"...Hand tendons and hamstrings were cut off, and there were multiple stab wounds all over the body. Rather than assassination, it was more like deliberate torture. Who did it?"

Chapter 22 The Unidentified Assassin

"I don't know, when I saw Estier, she already looked like this," while answering Anastasia, Fia cleaned up the blood stains on Estier's body with the "cleaning" magic, spreading all over the place. The wound on the smooth skin instantly became glaring. "We can only find out what happened after she wakes up. Keep quiet and call Liti over. During this time, try to avoid acting alone. The shelter is not as safe as imagined."

"it is good."

Nodding in agreement with Fia, Anastasia's mature face showed hesitation, and Fia couldn't help asking.

"what happened?"

"His Royal Highness used high-level magic medicine for Miss Estier? Not only did the wound heal, but the blood under the skin also recovered. Even the faith magic of the Goddess of Life faction, only the sixth-level magic can heal the wound." At the same time, it restores blood, which is incredible."
