Eternal Love in Dangerous Earl's Mansion

The long and continuous fighting made both sides gradually exhausted, and their physical strength flowed away from their bodies with sweat and blood. More and more people were unable to continue fighting. Only Roy and the others remained.

The sound of the holy sword echoed in the ears, and Doddle's blood splashed in front of his eyes. Roy pierced his shoulder blade with a sword, and then released a powerful electric barrier.

The electric current paralyzed half of Doddle's body and exhausted Roy's last strength. He kept panting. Fortunately, he held on to the holy sword so that he didn't fall down because of the blackness in front of his eyes.

Although Doddle was embarrassed, his power had not been used up yet. He looked at Roy sarcastically, and said sarcastically, "Lewente, your strength is nothing more than that."

Sweat ran down Roy's cheeks, he looked up at Doddell, "Don't worry, I have enough strength left to kill you."

"Really? You have maintained that barrier all the time, so you can't even swing a sword now, right?"

Doddle sneered and raised the corners of his mouth. The power of the electric barrier had begun to fade, and his body was gradually able to move.

Even if the wounds on his body could not heal due to the exhaustion of strength, his remaining strength was enough to give Roy a fatal blow.

These words touched Roy's heartstrings, and his hand holding the holy sword tightened suddenly. Not far from them, the barrier protecting Elan remained in its original state.

After hours of fighting, countless weapons and corpses collided with the barrier, but it still protected Elan without any change.

"It's a pity, Levante, you could have killed me, but now, you are the one who will die!" Doddle's body had already recovered, and his sharp wolf claws slammed towards Roy.

Roy retreated as fast as he could, but the wolf's claws still scratched his chest, leaving three deep bloodstains.

Like Doddle, his wounds can no longer heal automatically, and even he knows that if this continues, he will die in Doddle's hands.

However, when his eyes swept over Elan and saw Elan's eyes still closed, Roy knew that he could not die yet.

"King of the blood clan, go to hell!" Dodle attacked again, this time, the wolf claws attacked faster and more ruthlessly.

The pain and nausea from the wound made Roy's eyes black, and at that moment, he remembered what his father had said to him.

Roy, our strength is determined by our will, and only the strongest will can release the most powerful force.

The light returned to his eyes, and everything in front of him became clear. He clenched the holy sword tightly, and the strength that was almost exhausted surged back at that moment!

Doddle, you are the one to die!

Elan had a very, very long dream. In the dream, he was running wildly in the darkness. From time to time, there were images running past him, and there were two people in those images.

One was him, and the other was the beautiful Count with blond hair and blue eyes.

The first meeting in the Heathton Hotel; his first visit to the earl's mansion; he and Roy went to Sayahua to find the holy relics; their hands were firmly handcuffed together; help……

It took a long time for Elan to realize that it was the bits and pieces since he and Roy met, and he actually recalled it in this form in his dream.

Then he opened his eyes suddenly, and everything before the coma came to his mind very clearly, and he could even feel the anger lingering in his chest before.

Sitting up, he turned his head and looked around, but the strange environment made him widen his eyes in surprise, unable to recover for a long time.

Where is he?Is the holy war over?He still remembered the chaotic battle situation in Caesar City before he fell into a coma, but now, he was in a room full of white.

The walls, sheets, curtains, and even the chairs beside the bed were all painted white. There seemed to be a courtyard outside the window, and many people walked there, some were members of the Hunter Association, and some were not.

He looked down at his body in a daze. Under the clean clothes, the wound on his abdomen had completely healed. It was such a serious injury, but now there was not even a scar left.

That was Roy's power, the power he tried desperately to refuse but failed to refuse in the end.

Damn, that person is like this every time, regardless of his thoughts, he can do whatever he wants.

"Ah, Senior Elan, you're awake."

Someone walked in from the door, saw him sitting, and yelled excitedly.

Elan followed the sound and saw that it was Kay who came in, followed by James.

Seeing Kai, he looked very surprised. He remembered that Kai not only injured him badly, but also sucked his blood. At that time, Kai looked very strange, as if he was a completely different person.

"Kai, you..." opened his mouth, Elan didn't know how to ask this question.

A look of embarrassment appeared on Kai's face. He scratched his head, sat down on the chair next to Elan's bed, and said after a while, "Senior Elan, actually... I am no longer a human being."

Not human anymore?Elan repeated this sentence in his mind. It turned out that his previous feeling was not wrong. Kai, he... was turned into a foreign race.

"After I was captured by Krause and the others, Doddle, the king of werewolves, forced me to become a werewolf and controlled my will. Senior Elan, I'm really sorry, I almost killed you."

Kai didn't know how to express his apology in his heart. Although he didn't have his own consciousness because he was controlled at the time, he was terrified just listening to James' recounting what happened that day.

Sometimes, the scenes that people imagine are far more terrifying than the truth that they see with their own eyes.

Although, in fact, James is suspected of exaggerating the incident a lot. Why did Elan have a big hole in his stomach, and his internal organs and intestines flowed all over the floor. Why did he almost suck Elan to dry? It is really scary. He is dead.

"So, you're a werewolf now?"

"No, because I sucked your blood, I seem to have become a mutant." Kai's head drooped completely. To be honest, he was very sad. Now he seems like a monster.

James sighed lightly, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it, you are still alive and have great power, that's the most important thing."

Although becoming a mutant is not something to be happy about, Kai did not lose his mind while transforming, and he gathered the power of the two royal families, which is something to be thankful for.

Yikai's current ability is enough to check and balance alien races, which is a good thing for human beings.

"Well, Senior James, you are right, I will live on, and I will use my strength to do my best for the Hunter Association."

For a single-celled person like Kai, once the truth of a matter is explained to him, he will not continue to dig into the dead end, just like he also naturally accepted the identities of Roy and Camilla.

After waking up, he knew everything that happened during the jihad. James was once surprised by Kay's acceptance in this matter.

For the same thing, Elan was not as free and easy as Kay. Elan felt very sorry for Kay becoming a foreigner, but he also knew that James was right.

"Where is this?" After a while, he turned his head and glanced out of the window again.

"This is the newly opened nursing station in Dort. The villagers have volunteered to be caregivers!" Kai looked very excited when he mentioned this, and introduced it to Elan with a smile.

Dort is a neighboring city of Caesar City. The size of the city was originally small, but because most of the residents of Caesar City migrated here before, there are plenty of people now.

Elan was stunned for a while, then said hesitantly, "The jihad...is it over?"

In fact, looking at the current situation, he knew that the holy war was over, but he suddenly felt a little unwilling. After preparing for so long, why did he actually do nothing during the holy war?

What's the point of everything before that?What the hell has he been doing these past few months?

As if seeing something from his expression, Kay twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, but couldn't speak. He could probably guess what Elan was thinking, so he felt even more sorry.

Therefore, he could only look at James with help-seeking eyes, hoping that he would answer this question.

James pushed his glasses and sighed: "Yes, the jihad is over, and the three sides suffered heavy casualties, but Earl Levant killed the wolf king, so we can barely be regarded as winning, and now the non-war agreement has also been signed. "

James said it very simply, as if there was no need to explain further.

Elan smiled wryly and twitched the corners of his mouth, "In the end, I didn't help at all, just like a waste."

"That's not right! Senior Elan, don't say that, I will feel ashamed if you do this." Kai stretched out his hand to hold Elan's hand, tears glistened in his big eyes, and he was about to cry.

You know, Elan just didn't help much, but he didn't help at all!

James didn't speak, but just looked at Elan with emotion. To be honest, what happened that day was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, but since the fate is arranged like this, they can only follow it, can't they?

Elan was silent for a long time, and finally lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "I want to... go to the battlefield to see."

"Alright, I'll go with you, Kai, do you want to go with me?"

"I'll forget it, my heart won't be able to bear seeing that place."

Facing James' invitation, Kai Lian repeatedly waved his hands, saying that it doesn't matter if he is too weak or timid, in short, he doesn't want to see that hell on earth again.

James nodded, and walked out with Elan. Since the Hunter Association was cleaning up the battlefield, there were many carriages on Dort's side. They found one outside the nursing station, and they went to Caesar City.

Even if I had imagined what a tragic scene it would be, when I actually saw it, I still couldn't describe the shock in words.

Scattered corpses and blood are scattered everywhere, and every broken wall and ruined wall in Caesar City is dyed dark red. It is impossible to distinguish whether it is the corpse of a werewolf, a blood clan, or a hunter. They are piled up chaotically, turning this place into a A real hell.

Even the sun hanging in the sky at this moment seems to be frightened by the tragic situation here. The sun has no temperature and falls coldly, illuminating the dark red land, but it seems that it can no longer make it warm.

Nearby, a corpse was lying on his back, and his unwillingness to die made people see his unwillingness; in the distance, the corpse under several large rocks still maintained the appearance of reaching out for help, which looked shocking.

Elan frowned watching all this, unspeakable sadness filled his heart at the moment, it turned out that no matter whether it was a foreign race or a human being, when they turned into a body, it made people feel sad.

James spoke at this moment, speaking very slowly, as if deliberately speaking to Elan.

"The content of the non-war agreement is that in the future, foreign races will not be able to forcibly drink human blood or harm human beings. The three races will live in peace and coexistence, and there will be no more conflicts. In addition, as the werewolf who is the defeated party, the blood race will be at the exit of the Extreme Mist Forest Putting down the seal, the low-level werewolves will never be able to leave the Forest of Extreme Mist in the future, which fundamentally protects the safety of human beings to a certain extent.”

Because low-level aliens often lack reason, so after restricting these people, it will be more at ease for ordinary humans. It can be said that this non-war agreement was signed entirely on the basis of human considerations.

Even, the foreign race itself didn't get any benefits at all. James felt that if he was the king of the blood clan, he would not be willing to sign such an agreement.

Elan was silent for a while, then replied: "Iris said that he hoped that the vampires could coexist with humans, and even marry, in order to continue the offspring of the vampires so that they would not perish."

Who is he, James knows without Elan saying.

"Is that so, he..."

"James, don't mention him."

"Elan..."

James frowned. He could have predicted that Elan would escape from reality, but after Roy has done so much for him, if he is still like this, then what is Roy's contribution?

Elan turned around and walked towards the carriage. The sunlight stretched out his shadow, which was reflected on the dark red ground, almost blending with those dark colors.

Back in Dortmund, Elan looked depressed. James and Kay looked at each other, trying to persuade him, but they didn't know where to start.

Kay heard something about Elan and Roy from James. He was surprised, but he felt that it was actually a logical thing, but he also knew how stubborn Elan was.

So this matter, Kay decided to leave it to James to deal with.

"Senior Elan, since you are fine, I should also prepare to go back to Novus, but don't worry, I will visit you in Vit Carlo when I have time."

After lunch together, Kay said goodbye to Elam.

He has been away from home for too long this time, so long that his parents are about to fall ill. Although Novus's companions were asked to bring back the news that he was safe and sound, if others do not show up, the family members may still be in danger. Don't worry.

Originally, he stayed because Elan was not yet awake. Now that Elan is fine, he should go back.

Elan looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't understand what was going on.

James pressed his shoulder on the side and said, "Elan, Kursa has also left, and now you are the strongest hunter in the association, so the president wants you to stay at the headquarters, and we will work together when we clear the battlefield in Caesar City." Back to Vitto Carlo, the president also said that he wanted to hand over the association to us young people to take full responsibility."

"Yes, senior, don't worry, I will send your luggage back." Thinking that Elan was worried about the things he didn't bring back, Kai added a sentence casually.

Elan thought for a while in silence, then nodded to Kai.

Of course he understands what the president means. Although the Peaceful Coexistence Agreement has been signed, the Hunter Association cannot stop making progress. They still have a lot to work on, and he and James will be the ones who will lead everyone forward.

Allan suddenly understood how heavy the burden was on his shoulders.

After sending Kai away, Elan and James returned to Caesar City to participate in the work of cleaning up the battlefield. Originally, James wanted Elan to rest for another day, but he was unwilling.

In Caesar City, countless corpses need to be cremated, and for future reconstruction work, all the waste bricks and tiles in the city need to be transported away.

That night, the raging flames in Caesar City turned the entire sky into a fiery red, and Elan, who was standing not far from the fire, was also dyed red.

He stared at the flames in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

Behind them were hunters wiping away tears, discussing the list of victims in low voices.

Hearing the familiar or unfamiliar names, Elan felt very complicated. This time the jihad will be fought. In addition to the werewolf factor, the vampire also played a great role in instigating it.

So many people would not have died if they hadn't come to fight this battle - he couldn't help thinking that.

"Without this jihad, the world will never be peaceful, and those powerless humans will never be able to find peace." James murmured, seeming to see through Elan's mind.

Elan's hands hanging by his side were tightly clenched into fists, and he said expressionlessly: "Those despicable guys wanted to use us from the very beginning to reduce their losses."

"Elan, do you really think so?" James turned to look at Elan, the fire reflected on the backlight of his lenses, as if those lenses were also burning.

Elan's fists clenched even tighter, and he said in a deep voice, "Isn't it? They won the jihad after we died so many people. Even if the non-war agreement is beneficial to humans, for them, completely suppressing wolves Talent is the most fundamental purpose.”

James shook his head, and pushed his glasses habitually, "Maybe you're right, they just want to suppress werewolves, but Elan, they don't have to give convenience to humans."

"Isn't that to continue their own bloodline? In the final analysis, they are just using us."

Elan's tone was very aggressive, and his reason seemed to be unable to control his thoughts.

"Elan, don't hate Roy just because he lied to you, otherwise, maybe one day you will regret it."

"I won't!"

"Really? If he died, wouldn't you forgive him?" James sighed heavily when he said this.

Elan's eyes widened suddenly. Even if he wanted to be indifferent, his reaction would not allow him to do so. He grabbed James' lapel and shouted loudly, "What did you say?"

James spread his hands, not minding Elan's actions at all, "The wolf king is dead, and Clause, one of the elders, was also killed by Camilla, but the casualties of the vampires were equally heavy, Elan, who among us Someone you didn’t expect died, don’t you want to know who that person is?”

James' words were like a bucket of ice water, which poured on Elan's heart in an instant.

His heart was beating uncontrollably, and the nerves in his temples were throbbing, making him almost tremble all over.

Holding James tightly, he asked dryly, "Who is...?"

James was silent for a long time, with a sad look on his face, as if he didn't want to recall the scene at that time, "It was Iris, who took Kai's fatal blow in order to save Josa, but if he was willing If the blood is replenished in time, maybe he won't die."

The scene at that time was a great shock to James. He slumped on the ground until the last bit of strength disappeared, and saw Kai's claws inserted into Iris' chest with his own eyes.

Josa, who was blocked by Iris, had been seriously injured long ago. At that moment, he, who had always been arrogant and domineering, let out a shrill cry.

Roy killed Doddell at that time, and after Kay was regained by his controlled consciousness, he immediately fainted, and James didn't tell Kay about this.

The situation at that time was really tragic. Josa, Loy, and Camila were seriously injured, Kursa, and Lucian were slightly injured, Doddell and Krause were killed on the werewolf side, Fika was seriously injured, and Gray was slightly injured. On the battlefield, there is simply no one who is intact.

It was then that Iris rejected Lucian's blood and used his blood to save Josa and the others.

When Iris died, he said that he was finally relieved. He died with a smile on his face, but for the rest of the people, it was great grief.

Elan didn't see those with his own eyes, but looking at James at this moment, he seemed to be able to imagine the scene at that time. Iris...was it because of his promise to his dead lover that he was unwilling to add blood?

Why do you want to do this?Is this what he calls eternal love?But what's the point of love if life can't last?

Elan was greatly shocked. He felt that he couldn't figure it out. Aren't blood races a cold-blooded race?Why would a vampire like Iris subvert his previous definition of vampire?

James sighed softly, looked at the fire and said again: "Elan, I only realized this time that many of our previous views on alien races were wrong. They are actually just like human beings, with good and evil. There are indeed countless Humans died at their hands, but at the same time, maybe they also saved countless people.”

James never thought that one day he would stand on such a standpoint and speak for the alien race, but after experiencing this jihad, he felt that he saw a lot of things clearly.

"Do you know? The Earl could have killed Dorder earlier, but he spent too much power on protecting your enchantment, and the consequence of doing so was that he was seriously injured and even almost died in Dorder. men.

"Elan, you once asked me what is the feeling that I don't want the other person to be hurt no matter what, I think it's liking, but when I saw what Roy did for you, I thought, it's not just liking that can be expressed Feelings."

As a person who witnessed everything with his own eyes, James felt too deep in his heart. The barrier protecting Elan didn't disappear until the jihad was completely over, and at that time, Roy had almost lost consciousness.

He persisted, even at the moment when he was almost killed by Doddle, he did not take back the power on the defensive enchantment.

What kind of attachment is this?What kind of payment is it?He only knew that when such a feeling was exposed, he felt that there was no way not to be moved.

Elan's eyes widened in shock, and he heard unexpected news one after another, but none of them was more shocking than the last one.

Roy did this to protect himself?how so?Isn't he a liar?Hasn't he been playing with himself?

He let go of his hand in a daze, and Elan didn't reply for a long time. His eyes fell on the burning flames in front of him. Deep in his heart, the anger that could not dissipate before seemed to gradually subside.

He really didn't know what to continue hating Luo Yi like this.

At this moment, only sadness permeates the land of polar night.

There is no joy of victory in the jihad, no excitement of finally suppressing the werewolf, only endless depression, and grief that I don't know how to relieve.

Kursa had just presided over the mourning ceremony for the blood clans who died in the jihad and went to the elders' house.

The House of Elders is located on a icy lake not far from the central castle. There is a barrier of thick fog all year round. It is impossible to see the inside from outside the barrier. Except for people with royal blood and elders, no one can pass through the barrier. Enchantment.

The elders' house is the place where the elders work. There are a lot of materials and classics here, most of which are recorded by the elders of the past.

Through the enchantment, you can see the appearance of the Elder's House. The lead gray spire and pure white exterior wall show the solemnity and solemnity. The gold-inlaid pillars and gorgeous Baroque buildings are completely in line with the characteristics of the blood race's pursuit of beauty and magnificence. .

Kursa folded his wings and landed on the stone steps in front of the elders' courtyard, and stretched out his hand to push open the door.

Entering the door is a hall with a marble-paved aisle in the center. There are two rows of bookshelves on both sides of the aisle, and countless books and classics are piled on the bookshelves.

At the end of the corridor is a flight of stairs, about ten steps, above which is a central hall with a dome and columns, and many colorful paintings are painted on the roof of the hall.

There is a table there where the elders usually work.

But at this moment, Lucian was the only one sitting in front of the table, and he was recording the jihad in a new book. When he heard Kursa's footsteps, he raised his head.

The scarlet moonlight crawled in from outside and shone on his long dark purple hair, making him look extremely glamorous.

Lucian glanced behind Kursa, a trace of hesitation appeared on his indifferent face, "Are Roy and Josa still the same?"

Kursa walked over, sat down on the chair next to him, and scratched his head helplessly, "Well, it's really troublesome that both of them look so lifeless."

Since returning from the jihad, Roy has been blaming himself, because this jihad completely violated his original intention, and too many blood races died in the battle.

And, most importantly, they lost Iris, the only great vampire left since the last Holy War, their last elder.

If only he had dealt with Kay himself—this was the first thing Roy said after returning.

Knowing that Kai is very powerful, he still asked Josa to deal with this battle. This was his mistake. If he had killed Doddle earlier, Kai would have been able to get out of control earlier, and Iris would not have died .

He obviously could do it, but because of his personal feelings, he left the righteousness of jihad behind.

This is the focus of Roy's self-blame, the place where he will never forgive himself.

As for Jossa, the guy who was always flamboyant and domineering, he hadn't said a word since he woke up on the battlefield.

Originally, he was seriously injured, and it was Iris who poured blood into his mouth after he fell into a coma, so that he recovered quickly, but after waking up, he faced his father's body, which was very huge for Josa hit.

Iris' body was carried back by Josa. After returning, he kept himself locked at home, refusing everyone's comfort and meeting.

Camilla went to Roddick's house in the morning, but Josa's sister told him that his brother said he didn't want to see anyone.

Lucian frowned slightly, and sighed softly after thinking for a moment, "It seems that victory can't heal the sorrow, but fortunately, there should be no more such battles."

The casualties of the werewolves this time were far greater than that of the vampires, which was almost a devastating blow to them, so they should not be able to provoke a holy war again, and on the other hand, Gray should not allow them to do so again.

The conflicts between the races are not irreconcilable. If it wasn't for Gray this time, perhaps the werewolf clan would have been completely wiped out.

Gray assured Roy that from now on the werewolf would no longer provoke troubles, and would coexist peacefully with humans and blood races. With his sincerity and Lucian's willingness to guarantee him, this racial conflict finally ended Continue to intensify.

"Speaking of which, the matter between you and Gray hasn't been explained to Roy yet." Mentioning this matter, Kursa raised his eyebrows.

On the battlefield before, when Lucian said that he would guarantee Gray, everyone was surprised. I remember that at the beginning, Lucian was the one who insisted on driving out the werewolves.

Roy glanced at him suspiciously at the time, but didn't ask any more questions in the end.

Lucian stood up, walked to the column behind him and looked out, and after a while he replied calmly: "There is nothing to explain, that person is different from other werewolves."

Hearing this answer, Kursa rolled his eyes. Well, he will not continue to ask that person what is different. Anyway, this is something Lucian wants to explain to Roy, and it has nothing to do with him.

"I'm going to see Roy, you continue to record the jihad." Lucian dropped these words, and suddenly jumped out from the edge of the column, the black wings fluttered from behind him, and he disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

Kursa stared at his back dumbfounded, and after a while he yelled: "Hey! Lucian, I didn't come here to take over your job, okay—"
