Eternal Love in Dangerous Earl's Mansion

As the most fringe city in the north of the human world, Sayahua's winters are always bone-chillingly cold.

The north wind howled and brought huge hexagonal snowflakes rushing in. The entire sky was gray, and only the snowflakes floating everywhere could be seen dancing wildly in the wind.

Walking on the road, even if you are already dressed like a polar bear, the cold wind can always find a gap to sneak in. The skin that is already low temperature is blown by the wind, and the chill immediately invades the body, making people shiver.

In such severe cold, food is scarce for all creatures.

A ten-year-old boy is leaning on the window sill, looking out through the blurred window pane at the snow-covered silver world, his wide-open eyes are shining with longing and envy. The child's nature makes him long to run out of the house and meet the snow. The elf played to his heart's content, but the current situation forced him to stand by the window and look into the distance.

Werewolves and vampires will go out to hunt in a large area in the cold winter, and humans must avoid going out as much as possible, so as not to accidentally become their prey.

"It's ready to eat."

The mother's gentle and sweet voice came from behind, and the boy turned his head. His anticipation for ice and snow was immediately attracted by the food with a strong aroma floating on the table. He happily jumped off the stool and walked happily towards the dining table. run.

"Strange, why dad hasn't come back yet, it's almost time."

Walking to the door, opening it and looking out, the young and beautiful housewife frowned worriedly, and the boy behind him couldn't wait to reach out to grab something to eat, with a happy expression on his face.

Sayahua is a town composed of five villages, and it is one of the three famous cities in the north. Since this is the border of the north, it is very close to the place where vampires live—the land of the polar night.

Here, almost as long as you look up, you can see the blood castle in the distance in the center of the land of polar night.

"Mom, I heard from the aunt next door that our place should be the territory of vampires, why are there werewolves haunting it?"

After swallowing a piece of beef contentedly, the boy turned his head and asked curiously, licking his fingers.

No fear of these two kinds of aliens could be heard in the immature child's voice, and he hadn't seen the true colors of the two terrifying creatures that made the adults around them terrified.

"Mom doesn't know, but whether it's a vampire or a werewolf, we have to stay away from them. If we are not careful, we will be bitten to death."

The housewife closed the door, came over and gently hugged the boy into her arms.

If possible, they don't want to live in this dangerous area, but the whole world is full of aliens, and nowhere is safe.

The boy opened his puzzled eyes and nodded half-understanding. For him now, what he fears more than being killed by a different kind is that he can only stay in this small wooden house and cannot go out to play. .

Winter nights always come quickly, but within a few minutes, the night has already quietly arrived.

The uneasiness in the housewife's heart gradually expanded. The dinner that was carefully prepared on the dinner table was no longer steaming, and the outside of the glass window stained by the wind and snow was hazy.

The child in her arms suddenly jumped, and worried, she heard the muffled sound of being hit by a heavy object from another window behind her.

The fear in my heart suddenly rose, all the strength in my body was drained, the blood stopped flowing as if frozen, and the icy cold rushed straight up from the soles of my feet.

She turned her paralyzed neck, and the window that slowly came into view was splashed with bright red blood. Through the blood mist, she saw her husband's eyes wide open.

In those eyes that usually contained a gentle smile, now there was only deep fear and the breath of death.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Horrified screams cut through the silent night in the next second.

The woman clasped her head tightly with her hands, and the child in her arms stared blankly at the father's already stiff face on the window, completely unable to move from the fright of the scene in front of her.

With a "bang", something broke open the door and rushed in. A strong smell of blood wafted in the air, and snowflakes hovered and floated in from the dark door.

The sound of heavy breathing could be heard very close, and the boy half-turned his head dully, a red tongue dripping with saliva appeared in front of his eyes.

Before he could see more, the mother on the side had already let out a miserable scream, and the boy felt that his mother was dragged away from him in an instant.

He turned his head stiffly, and saw his mother being pinned to the ground by a wolf.

The wolf was much bigger than the ones he had seen in fairy tale books in the past. Its thick front paws had already crushed her chest cavity, and crimson blood kept spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Soon, the wolf began to tear at the mother's body, blood flowed all over the floor, and the mother's body gradually became fragmented.

Such a scene was too glaring, the boy's eyes widened in horror, and he wanted to open his mouth to shout, but his voice was sealed in his throat. He could only watch his mother die in front of his eyes, but he couldn't do anything.

All the despair and fear were sealed in this small body, and unstoppable tremors spread from every corner of his body, completely obliterating him.

The boy was thrown down by the tongue-sticking wolf, and his body hit the ground causing severe pain. The wolf's paws pressing on his chest were so heavy that his ribs were almost broken.

He opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw the bloodthirsty ferocity in the eyes of the wolf on his body.

He felt that the air was slowly being squeezed out of his chest cavity, but it could never come back again. His oxygen-deprived brain began to dizzy, and his consciousness and feeling left him together.

Even his little head, which has not experienced any major setbacks in life, now reflects the premonition of death.

There was severe pain in his shoulder, and the sharp wolf claws scratched out a hideous wound on his shoulder. He opened his eyes and mouth wide, trying to absorb even a little air in pain, but the white light in his eyes and the feeling of suffocation made him Knowing that all of this is futile and hopeless.

He was about to die, he had only lived for ten colds and summers, and he was already facing the scythe of death at an age where he hadn't even shown his life.

The vaguely remaining consciousness made him vaguely feel something approaching his fragile neck, breathing hot air, and being burned before touching it.

He closed his eyes in despair and waited for the thing to end his life. The ringing in his ears prevented him from noticing another figure appeared at the door of the damaged room.

It seemed that after waiting for a century, the boy didn't feel any movement from the wolf pressing on him. He couldn't help but struggled to open his eyes.

In his hazy field of vision, he saw someone standing beside him. The man was wearing a black hooded cloak, and his face could not be seen. At this moment, the man was pulling the wolf's mouth with both hands, pulling the wolf away from his neck. opened.

The tragic howl of the wolf resounded through the night sky in the next second, and under the rain of blood splattered all over the sky, the boy watched in horror as the man grabbed the wolf's upper and lower jaws and tore it open!

The twitching wolf trembled violently a few times, and then fell down beside the boy to die. It had never seen such a tragic scene, and the unprecedented fright made the boy unable to move.

The wolf that was devouring the boy's mother pounced on the man, but the huge physical difference between them didn't make a difference at all.

The man easily and accurately grasped the wolf's mouth that was pounced on with both hands. With a crisp "click", the second rain of blood fell from the sky.

Bright red, warm blood sprayed on the boy's face, and his paralyzed nerves throbbed in his temples.

The sharply constricted pupils and the violent beating of the heart made him unable to stay awake. The pain in his shoulders began to invade his internal organs, and every cell in his body was burned.

His limbs began to spasm, and blood flowed from the wound in his shoulder with vitality.

The man who easily tore apart the two wolves squatted down beside the boy, pulled off the hat that covered most of his face, stared at the boy carefully, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to live?"

The boy couldn't hear the very fuzzy voice, only the words "survive" came into his mind through the air very clearly.

He nodded desperately with the last of his strength, his eyes had already started to darken, and he couldn't see anything.

He opened his eyes wide to see something, and seemed to see the appearance of that person clearly at that moment, but soon, he could only fall into deeper and deeper darkness.

After a few seconds, he smelled fresh blood, and something was poured into his mouth, with a faint sweet smell and a strong rust smell.

He greedily swallowed the liquid into his throat, and vaguely heard that person's indifferent voice echoing in his ears, "Live on, you may be able to change the human world..."

You may be able to change the human world...

The words from that year resounded in my mind again, and my body seemed to still remember the pain at that time. The burning pain was so real, as if my body had been hurt again.

"Do not--"

Accompanied by a quick low cry, the person who was lying on the bed suddenly sat up.

After escaping from the dream, the black-haired young man realized that his body was covered in cold sweat, his pajamas were sticking wet to his back, his hair stuck to his face in strands, and the aftertaste of a nightmare still remained on his handsome face, making him look extremely pale.

Elan.It took Field a while to regain his senses, and his dazed black eyes glanced around, only to realize that he was lying in an elegant and comfortable room, not Sayahua more than ten years ago.

That night, Elan lost all his relatives and friends, and lost his home. When he woke up from the coma, he was in the carriage of the Hunter Association, and Sayahua had turned into a sea of ​​flames and a field of Shura.

After that, he was brought to the headquarters of the Hunter Association, where he received rigorous training to become a hunter. He did not leave the headquarters to perform tasks independently until he was upgraded to an advanced hunter.

He has not had the dream of those years for many years, and that dream was too scary for him. After so many years, recalling the scene of those years, his heart still throbs unceasingly.

Up to now, he still seems to be able to clearly see the tragedy of his parents' death. The blood and corpse were so close to him, so close that he will never forget it in his life.

Elan covered his face with his hands, and the cold sweat on his back gradually dried, making him feel a little cold.But that eerie coldness didn't last long, and soon, a warm chest wrapped him from behind.

For a moment, Elan was almost greedy for such warmth, and he even wanted to lean his body back a little bit so that the warmth could completely surround him.

But this thought only lasted for two seconds, and he suddenly froze.A chill ran up his spine suddenly, his eyes widened suddenly, he struggled hard, and pushed the person behind him out with his backhand.

Familiar laughter with playfulness soon sounded behind him, and the brisk voice made Elan's scalp tingle.

"Mr. Field, it's rare to be able to hug quietly for a while. Do you have to refuse my offer?"

"Count! I've said it many times, don't always make such embarrassing actions for me!"

"Are you in trouble? I'm worried that you'll catch a cold."

"Thank you for your kindness. Don't worry, I'm not cold at all."

Elan said brave words, but pulled the quilt with his hands to wrap himself up again, tsk tsk, winter is really here, and he was about to shiver while talking for a while.

The person standing by the bed is wearing casual clothes today. Justkel's jacket is paired with Kyorot trousers and short boots, making him not look like a nobleman, but like an ordinary citizen. A head of dazzling golden hair was simply tied behind his neck, on his handsome face, his ice blue eyes were smiling as usual.

The famous heartthrob Roy.Count Levant, even in such a low-key attire, still looks seductive.

"Mr. Field, I'm going to take you out for special training today, so if you're already awake, why don't we set off as soon as possible."

Since agreeing to help the Hunter Association with special training, Roy and his housekeeper Camilla.Messer has been very busy recently.

All the training props in the basement of the Earl's Mansion have been moved to the Hunter Association, and they have been instructing the hunters how to use these props for a week or so.

After everyone was basically familiar with how to use the props, Roy proposed to train Elan alone. The reason was that with Elan's strength, there was not much room for improvement if he only used props.

This request was approved by Minister Rockcres of the Novus branch of the Hunter Association. He also believed that with the current strength of the association, if Elan could raise a level, it would be of great help to the association.

Therefore, since two days ago, Elan and Roy returned to the Earl of Levant's mansion together, and Roy gave Elan special training on the magic part.

Although Elan had thought about asking Roy to train him before, he didn't expect Roy to be so serious at the time.

These two days of spell training made him realize how weak his previous spell knowledge was. He didn't even know more than [-]% of the spells proposed by Roy.

Because of this, these two days of supplementary work were very exhausting for Elan. He practiced until midnight every day and got up very early in the morning.Like now, in fact, the genius has just dawned. If Roy hadn't come over directly, he would really like to sleep for a while.

Elan didn't know if Roy usually got up so early, but these two days of getting up early made him feel that Roy seemed to be doing it on purpose.Because Roy didn't practice with him until midnight at night, but went to bed by himself early after he mastered the theory.

According to Roy's usually considerate personality, he probably wouldn't come early in the morning to wake up Elan, who was obviously still awake.You know, Elan was not awakened by a nightmare two days ago, but by Roy.

For two consecutive days, he felt an unusual breath in his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Roy's head hanging above him, and the distance between their lips would not exceed one centimeter.

Therefore, in the past two mornings, exaggerated roars erupted in the Earl's mansion.

After Roy told Elan about today's plan, he stood there with a smile on his face.

Elan stared at him for a while, seeing that he had no intention of leaving, he couldn't help but twitched and said, "Count, can I trouble you to go out first? I have to change clothes."

Roy blinked pretending to be stupid, "Huh? Am I standing here in the way of changing your clothes?"

"Of course, I don't want to let people see my naked body."

"However, when you came to see the wound before, you seemed to take off your clothes very easily."

"..."

Elan felt that the dark clouds were no longer enough to express his mood at the moment, and only then did he realize that with a person who is very good at exploiting loopholes and reversing old scores, any argument is meaningless.

He remembered that this wasn't the first time he had been "molested" by something that had happened before Rhoyner.

"Count," Elan thought for a moment, then watched Roy speak again, "Do you think it's really so interesting to tease me early in the morning?"

It seems that this is not the first time Elan asked Roy this question, he was just a little puzzled, why Roy likes to play him so much?Didn't you see that guy was so persistent in teasing others? Even to others, Earl Levant was a gentle, courteous and personable gentleman.

But why did that guy become a "rogue" when he came in front of him?

Roy frowned happily, shrugged his shoulders after a long while, and replied lightly: "No, you misunderstood me, Mr. Field, if it wasn't for you, I would never have experienced such happiness."

"Ah, then I'm really honored."

The smile on Roy's face grew brighter, and that smile almost brightened the light in the room.

Elan jumped out of the bed swiftly, went over to pull Roy up and pushed him out of the room, saying, "Count, although I really want to continue to bring you happiness, I don't think it's time to waste."

As soon as the words fell, there was a "bang", and the door of the guest room was slammed shut.

Roy subconsciously raised his hand to touch his nose, which was almost hit by the door, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. It seems that it is not easy to win someone's heart...

Elan appeared in front of Roy again, 10 minutes later, Roy was sitting in the living room, holding Shirley.Lucas's new book is reading.

It is said that the new book this time mentions some methods to improve the strength of hunters, and also records the formulas of some medicines, which Xueli sorted out after reading a lot of classics.

Since Camilla was not around, the job of cooking fell to Elan. After all, it was impossible to expect Earl Levant, who had been pampered and pampered since childhood, to cook.

"Count, where are you going for the special training you said earlier?" Considering that if they didn't come back for dinner, they might have to take lunch away, so Elan asked.

Roy raised his head from the book and replied with a smile, "We're going to the suburbs, where the open space is more suitable for actual combat practice."

These words shocked Elan who had just put on the apron, and his eyes widened in surprise, "You mean, do you want to fight me directly?"

"Yes, after these two days of supplementary lessons, you already know that barriers are mainly divided into two categories, namely offensive barriers and defensive barriers.

"Both of these barriers can be used directly in battle, but since the offensive barrier is based on defense with the power of backlash, that is, the object to be defended will be attacked when it touches the barrier, so we Most of the actual combat barriers are offensive barriers, and the best way to quickly master the offensive barrier is to practice a lot of actual combat.”

To be honest, Roy's words made Elan feel very excited. This kind of excitement was like blood flowing along the blood vessels all over his body, filling every corner of his body at this moment.

He had long wanted to fight Roy to see how strong he was, but after watching the battle between Roy and Kursa before, he thought he would never have such a chance.

Roy is very strong, so strong that Kursa, who is currently ranked No. 1 in the Hunter Association, is strong.Gore is not his opponent. Minister Rockcres even said before that perhaps the only person in the human world who can compete with the elders of the alien race is him.

The thought of fighting Roy like this made Elan's blood boil.

"Mr. Field, you are looking at me with burning eyes now. Does the battle make you so excited?" Roy's teasing words sounded while Elan was still chuckling to himself.

Elan seemed to have been stabbed with a needle, and his face flushed immediately. He didn't answer, but turned around and quickly started making lunch.

The abominable Earl, you can't be careless for a moment in front of him!

After the two had breakfast, they got into the carriage with a pre-made lunch, and the coachman quickly sent them to the outskirts of Novus.

There was a large open space with a few large boulders here and there, which, as Lowy said, was perfect for practice because you didn't have to worry about hurting anyone or the house.

"Okay, Mr. Field, you have memorized all the enchantment spells yesterday, what I need you to do now is to recall the offensive enchantment from the memory bank, and then use different spells according to different situations in actual combat. world." Roy gave the command easily, and looked at Elan with a smile on his face.

Elan twitched his lips and tried to search for the attack-type enchantment in his mind. The search results told him that there were a total of fifteen types of attack-type enchantment that could be used in actual combat.

Fifteen kinds?

A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Elan's forehead. Not to mention that he didn't know when to use any of the fifteen enchantments, even if he did, it would be impossible to use them immediately in such a fast-paced combat environment, right?Although he barely memorized the spell, he couldn't react immediately.

"It seems that you are confused." Roy on the opposite side smiled lightly and said.

Elan didn't hide his doubts, nodded and said, "Indeed, there are too many enchantments that can be used."

"Well, so, as long as you can master three as much as possible."

"Three types?"

"That's right, the electric barrier that paralyzes the opponent at the moment of contact, the wind barrier that can surround the opponent and generate a hurricane, and the silver blood barrier that can counteract 100% of the opponent's attack."

The three kinds of barriers that Roy mentioned here are almost the most difficult to master among the offensive barriers. Often, the stronger the power of the barrier itself, the more power the caster needs to expend, and the barrier needs to be effective. The basis is that it is not broken by the opponent's attack.

"How about it, Mr. Field, do you need me to give you some demonstrations?" Looking at Elan's pensive look, Roy blinked and suggested kindly.

Elan looked at his teasing expression, and twitched the corner of his mouth. Although he had to admit that there was a big difference in strength between them, he didn't want to be underestimated by Roy from the bottom of his heart.

"Count, I think I can try it myself first."

"I guessed that you would answer like that." Roy blinked again, smiling slightly.

Elan pulled out his dagger, and just as he was about to put on a stance, Roy waved his hand at him, "No, Mr. Field, only I can use weapons today, you must be unarmed."

"what?"

"In addition, defensive barriers are also prohibited. My purpose is to train your offensive barriers, so you must rely entirely on barriers to fight me."

When Roy said this, he showed a sly smile.

However, Elan couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat. What a joke, no weapons or defensive barriers are allowed. Is this guy Roy planning to kill him!

"Mr. Field, if you understand me, let's get started."

"Hey! Earl, wait a minute..."

"No, Mr. Field, our time is precious, don't you want me to train you with all my strength? Don't worry, I won't kill you."

"But……"

"I'm going to go."

Amid Elan's exclamation, Roy, who was waving a dagger, attacked!

Damn, fight!Elan put away the short knife and said to himself in his heart.

Both of them started to move at a high speed, and the figures who were constantly looking for gaps made brief contact from time to time. The dagger glowing with silver light showed a cold killing intent in the sun, and at a staggered moment, they saw the same serious expression in the other person's eyes as their own. , At the moment of reflexion, attack and defense are launched at the same time.

Roy slashed off his head with a powerful dagger.

Elan raised his hand and quickly chanted a spell silently. A golden light emanated from his palm, and a semicircular barrier appeared in front of him like a shield.

However, in the next second, it was smashed to pieces by Roy's silver dagger.

The dagger hung in mid-air. Roy curled his mouth playfully, squinted his eyes and smiled, "Dear Mr. Field, let's see how many times I can 'kill' you today."
