Eternal Love in Dangerous Earl's Mansion

Roy was not found in the palace castle. He heard from Camilla that he went out alone.

Lucian stood on the top of the castle and thought for a while, then spread his wings and flew towards the northernmost forest in the Land of Polar Night.

That forest is called the Forest of Silence, and it is the cemetery of the nobles of the Land of the Polar Night, and it is also the place where the vampires of the pure-blood families store their coffins.

If you trace the history of the blood race, you can go back about 4000 years ago.

The blood race 4000 years ago did not have the concept of a king, nor did it have the current hierarchy. Today's royal family and nobles have been fixed since about 2000 years ago.

Due to the difference in blood power between families, a hierarchy and management system gradually emerged, and the Levant family became a royal family, and at the same time, it was also the most powerful pure-blood family.

Some of the original abilities of the vampires have disappeared over the long years and the evolution of the clansmen. Today, most of the vampires in the land of polar night can no longer use coffins to replenish their strength from deep sleep. Only a few of them still have this ability of pure blood.

Soon after birth, each pure blood will use his own blood and cypress to make a coffin. This coffin will not decay or be damaged. It will be placed in the Forest of Silence and will only appear when the master summons it.

Lucian had slept in the underground of Saya for hundreds of years. During this time, it was the power of blood in the coffin that allowed him to recover from the serious injury of the last holy war.

Landing in the territory belonging to the Levant family, Lucian slowly walked into the hall surrounded by vines.

The gray marble floor is shiny, and candles are burning on the walls on both sides, distributed in a straight line from the entrance to the end.

The color of the candle is bright blue, and it will sway slightly even if there is no wind. The top of the hall is painted with oil paintings, which are said to depict some stories about the origin of the blood race.

Several coffins were placed one after another on the marble floor on both sides. The deep black cypress wood shone with dark blue light under the bright blue candlelight, and each coffin was carved with complicated and different patterns.

Most of these coffins contained the dead elders of the Levante family, and only a few belonged to the living people.

Lu Xi'an's light footsteps echoed throughout the silent hall, and the air was filled with the smell of cypress wood, mixed with a faint smell of blood.

All the way to the end, there is a raised platform, and there are two coffins on the platform. The difference from those on both sides is that the patterns on them are golden.

Exquisite golden roses, each one is as detailed as the real thing, even the thorns on the rhizomes are clearly visible, Roy is sitting on the edge of one of them, his gaze passes through the entire hall, and falls on the outside, which is extremely densely entwined on the vines.

Although his expression didn't seem too deeply sad, the breath overflowing from him was enough to make people feel heartache.

"What are you doing here?" Lucian sighed as he approached Roy.

Roy didn't move, and was silent for a long time before replying lightly: "Repent."

"Are you regretful? If you had to choose again, would you disregard the safety of that human being?"

Lucian's question was so sharp that Roy couldn't answer at all.

In fact, he has been thinking about this question for the past two days. If he is given another chance, can he let Elan go and fulfill his responsibilities?

It couldn't be done, it was so hard to save that life, how could he have the heart to let Elan fall into crisis again?

"Loy, feelings are something you can't control. You care about that person. We are all very sad about Iris, but he protected Josa and fulfilled his last wish. It is not your responsibility that he will die."

Lucian said these words with a blank face, which sounded a bit cold-blooded, but it was an indisputable fact.

Iris will die because he is unwilling to suck blood, he has given up the nature of the blood race, and he also feels despair in such a long and boring life.

The reason for this seems very simple and clear, and even Roy is actually very aware of this.

But can you forgive yourself if you know it?

No, as the king of the blood clan, he personally caused the sacrifice of so many clansmen. He caused Iris to lose his life. All this was because of his selfishness, and it was impossible for him to forgive himself.

Yes, it is impossible for him to give up Elan, but that is different from the fact that he can tolerate the mistakes he made. He should become stronger, and he should be strong enough to protect everyone.

However, he failed to do this, he failed to make himself strong enough to protect everything for hundreds of years, and he even...had never thought about such a problem at all.

Roy raised his hand to cover his eyes in pain. If time could be turned back, he would definitely work harder, but... what has been lost can never come back.

Iris waited for more than 200 years for the opportunity to reconcile with Josa, but this opportunity was destroyed by himself. He was sorry for Iris, and even more sorry for Josa.

Unspeakable heartache ran through his chest, and Roy's hand inserted into his hairline forcefully, and even roughly tore off several blond hairs.

Lucian sighed slightly when he saw his irritable movements, and said calmly: "For him, death is the only relief, but Roy, what about you?"

Adhering to the promise to his lover, Iris will choose death without hesitation, and only death can bring him real relief, but Roy is still alive.

To live, one must face reality and face one's own feelings.

Roy remained silent and shook his head after a while.

He didn't know where his relief was. The burden of the blood king was on his shoulders, and that was his unshirkable responsibility.And he never thought about getting rid of this shackle, this is the mission entrusted to him by the Levant family, and it is the trust of the entire blood clan in him.

"As the king of blood, you still have a lot of responsibilities to bear, but as Roy Levant, all you have to consider is your own problems. Roy, I don't think a person who can't handle his feelings well, It can handle the future of the entire blood race."

Lucian's words had been made very clear, but Roy still couldn't help but want to escape.

Can he still have the qualifications to deal with his feelings?After making such a big mistake, he almost felt guilty whenever he thought of Elan.

"Are you going to keep yourself in chains? You've put in so much effort, don't you want to be rewarded?"

Lucian sat down beside Roy. He hadn't returned to the Land of Polar Night since the last holy war, so he missed a very important period of growth for Roy.

When he came back, Roy had grown up completely, and he no longer had the opportunity to talk to Roy like this, but this time, he knew that his chance had come.

Roy twitched the corners of his mouth with a wry smile, and said with some disappointment: "I think, but I don't think I can..."

If he continues to entangle with Elan, maybe he will make the same mistake. A truly strong person should not have any weaknesses, but Elan has now become his weakness.

"No way, Roy, you are our king, and you are yourself at the same time. Don't cause such a big conflict because of the jihad, and you shouldn't escape your feelings because of this matter."

Lucian's eyes always glowed with cold light. At this moment, Luo Yi still didn't have too much emotion, but there was a deep tenderness hidden.

Listening to his words, Roy felt a lot of emotion in his heart. In fact, Lucian was only more than 200 years older than him. This age is nothing to the blood race, but the conversation at this moment made him feel that Lucian was older than him. Mature a lot.

But can he really do it?If Iris was still there, he really wanted to ask him, but unfortunately, the only elder who could give him a clear answer was gone.

"Roy, you've always been very rational, but emotionally, sometimes a rational decision may not be the right one." Feeling Roy's wavering, Lucian added.

Luo Yi gradually calmed down, he sighed, and murmured: "But...he hates me so much."

In fact, he also knows that he has always been very rational. In fact, he is not a person who likes to dig into dead ends. It is not his personality to be too entangled in the same problem.

But what happened this time was not just because he regretted the mistakes he made, but more because of Elan's attitude.

All the reactions before Elan's coma are still lingering in his mind. The sharp hatred spread in his heart like ice water, and even made him tremble.

It's not that he didn't think about Elan's reaction after he knew the truth, but he didn't expect that reaction to be so violent.

What Camilla said before was not wrong, and Elan's side is not so easy to solve, so now, this is not a problem that he can solve by overcoming his psychological barrier.

"Since you want to, then go after him, anyway, you were stalking him before."

Lucian's vaguely teasing words made Roy curl his lips uncomfortably, and muttered in a low voice, "How can I be so exaggerated."

"I heard Camilla say something, I think you have."

"That's Camilla exaggerating."

"That's not the point. The point is, do you have the courage to go back and face this relationship." When Lucian said this, a narrow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and persistence and expectation flashed in his purple eyes.

Perhaps from the standpoint of his elder, he should not support Roy to go to Elan, after all, it would not be good for the continuation of future generations.

However, perhaps because he had witnessed the death of Iris, he now thinks that how those who are still alive should choose their own lives is the most important thing compared to continuing their offspring.

Racial conflicts have been resolved. If the three races can really coexist peacefully in the future, then there is no need to continue to persist on many issues that were originally persisted.

This time, Roy was silent for a long time. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about this question, but Elan's attitude really made him feel embarrassed.

In the past, he could constantly tease each other because the most serious problem between them had not been exposed, but now, Elan has such deep hatred, how can he alleviate it?

He didn't know if Elan would forgive him, and he didn't know what Elan thought of him. He didn't know how to persist in this relationship with no future in sight.

What's more, he is a vampire, and Elan is a human being. He doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of Iris. If he has to face Elan's death decades later, it will be too cruel for him.

"Lucien, what's the matter with you and Gray Horns?" After thinking for a long time but unable to come to a conclusion, Roy decided to change the subject first.

Lucian shrugged and replied calmly, "Nothing."

"Why help him?"

"I have known him since the last jihad, and I think he is very special."

very special?These three words pierced Roy's heart like a needle. Why do you feel that what Lucian said is a bit weird?

If you think someone is special, it's not...

"I don't have any special thoughts about him, you don't have to think about it." As if knowing what Roy was thinking, Lucian glanced at him.

Roy spread his hands, knowing that this topic could not continue.

Lucian is a very straightforward person. Since he has talked about this point, it means that he really just thinks that Gray is a very special werewolf, and he just wanted to help him once, so he did.

It's really enviable to do as you please, Roy secretly sighed.

At this time, there was another fluctuation on the enchantment of the Forest of Silence, smelling the scent of someone coming, Roy and Lucian exchanged a surprised look, and stood up at the same time.

Roy and Lu Xi walked out of the hall together, and saw a figure entering the territory of Roddick's family not far away.

"Jossa." Roy walked to the door of the palace and called the names of the people inside.

Josa held Iris' body in his hands, and at this moment, he was putting Iris into his coffin.

"I plan to send him to Monte City to be buried with the woman he likes, but I don't know if he will be able to be placed near the woman's cemetery after 200 years."

Putting the lid on Iris' coffin, Josa said these words aloud.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with his face. Although his eyes were still a little red, and his usual arrogant smile hadn't faded away, Roy and the others knew that he had overcome the shadow in his heart.

"Jossa, I'm so..."

As soon as Roy opened his mouth to apologize, he was interrupted by Josa unceremoniously, "I don't want to hear the apology. The old man's death is his own begging, and it has nothing to do with you. But Roy, if that makes you work hard If the human being who is going to protect does not know how to flatter, I will definitely kill him.”

After Josa finished speaking the last word, his tone had become very ferocious, and his eyes were even more murderous. Such an expression let Roy know that he still cared about it.

But in order to let himself put down the burden in his heart, he made such a big concession. If Elan was not the person he liked, maybe he had already run to vent his anger on Elan.

Venting anger can be scary at times.

"Loy, everyone has supported you so much. If you stagnate any more, you will really be ashamed of your identity." Lucian answered the words at this time, his tone full of encouragement.

For him, Roy is after all a kid who is more than 200 years younger than him. Although this kid is very brave, there are times when he needs encouragement and help.

Josa lifted up Iris' coffin with one hand, and said as he walked out: "Xiao An is right, you are the king of the blood race, how can you shrink back in front of humans, this is too shameful. Humans of that level, It can be done with a strong one, you really let me down!"

"..." Facing such words, Roy could only twitch the corner of his mouth, unable to answer.

"Jossa, I'll accompany you to Monte City." Lucian pressed Jossa's shoulder as he passed him.

Josa nodded, then turned to Roy and said, "I will stay with the old man in Monte City for a few days, hurry up when you go, but don't see you struggling here when I come back, the old man will take care of you." Don't be rude to that kid."

After speaking, he snorted coldly, spread his wings and flew up.

Lucian glanced at Roy expressionlessly, and quickly followed Josa.

The Forest of Silence suddenly fell silent, and the smell of blood quietly floated in the air and surrounded Roy, making him feel very at ease.

Yes, the self who is so hesitant now is really not worthy of the status of the king of the blood clan, obviously he has never been like this before.

Just being scolded by Elan and being stabbed with a sword is not a big deal. When he traced his identity back then, didn't he deal with it very easily?

Thinking of this, Roy sighed lightly. Instead of leaving immediately, he turned around and faced the territories of several pure-blood families, and bowed deeply——

This holy war, it was my fault that caused the death of so many clansmen, but I swear, I will definitely let the blood clan continue to prosper.

Facing the seniors of the blood race, Roy made an oath in his heart that he would continue to move forward, and he couldn't just linger because of this mistake.

Lu Xi'an said something right, a person who can't handle his own emotional problems well, let alone handle the future of the entire blood race.

When he straightened up, the vines planted outside the territories of the major families shook slightly due to the wind, and the vines made a "rustling" sound, just like the sleeping elders responded to Roy.

The scarlet moonlight covered the entire Forest of Silence with a faint red veil. Under the red veil, Roy seemed to be able to see the souls of those blood clans who had died floating in the air.

The gentle and tolerant breath made him feel at ease, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He took a last look at everyone, turned and walked out.

It seems that there is only one last question left.

It is not difficult to pursue Elan again, but the large number of deaths and injuries in the Jihad made him realize that life is really too fragile, even the powerful aliens are no more than that, and human beings are even more fragile.

It was precisely because of this realization that he felt even more confused. He and Elan, two completely different individuals, had no possibility of getting together.

He didn't want to face the pain of Iris, but he also knew that Elan hated aliens so much that it was almost impossible for him to become a vampire.

As for this problem, he has not yet figured out how to solve it.

"Loy—"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in the air, and Roy raised his head, only to see Kursa's vague shadow floating on the barrier of the Forest of Silence.

Seeing Kursa crying, Roy asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"

"Come and help me record the jihad. Lucian stopped writing at the most critical moment and asked me to continue. I'm almost exhausted."

"But it is the job of the elders to record the jihad."

Roy had no intention of sympathizing with Kursa.

"Anyway, you're fine now, come and help me." Kursa rarely acted like a baby.

After thinking for a few seconds with his chin in one hand, Roy smiled and winked at Kursa, "No way, dear Kursa, I remember what I have to do now."

"Then ask Camilla to come and help."

"It's a pity that I have to take him with me for what I'm going to do."

"You're going to the human world, aren't you?" Kursa reacted quickly, and his eyes widened after he finished speaking.

Roy blinked at him innocently, but didn't answer immediately.

Kursa lazily rolled his eyes, curled his lips, and the shadow on the enchantment gradually became blurred, "Since this is the case, then I'll work harder, and you don't want me to be disappointed."

As soon as the words fell, the shadow on the enchantment completely disappeared, and the smile on the corner of Roy's mouth couldn't help deepening. It seemed that everyone was worried about him. He was really... the king of happiness.

Raising his head, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Well, the jihad was finally over, and it was time for him to make a choice for his own life.

Fortunately, he is not the only one in the Levante family, and the issue of future generations should be left to other people to deal with.

Spreading his wings, Roy just flew out of the enchantment of the Forest of Silence, when he saw someone waiting for him in mid-air, and Camilla, who was dressed in black, almost blended into the night.

Roy stopped unconsciously and looked at him in surprise.

Camilla shrugged, "I heard you want me to accompany you on business."

"I've just finished speaking. You must have heard this too quickly."

"Probably because I was waiting for your words."

"Camilla, thank you."

"If you have time to be polite with me, you might as well think about how to deal with Elan. Even if you use the worst tricks, I will turn a blind eye."

Bitter tricks?Makes sense, isn't this the best way to deal with people like Elan?

Thinking of something, a sly smile appeared on Roy's lips. He glanced in the direction of Novus, narrowed his eyes and said, "Camila, I really want to thank you. If this is the case, we will Do some prep work before you go."

As if thinking about what he was going to do, Camilla raised her eyebrows slightly, and as she followed him to the central castle, she muttered in a low voice: "Should I say that you are stubborn, or that you are really smart?" ?”

"Well, this is a difficult question to answer, but the latter sounds better..."

In Vitcaro's Hunter Association headquarters, Elan was buried in a pile of documents.

It had been a week since the end of the jihad, he had returned to Vitcaro three days ago, and he had been busy till now.

Caesar City needs to be rebuilt, and a large number of transferred citizens must find a way to settle down. So many hunters injured in the holy war need to be treated, and some hunters who died have to go to condolences to their families.

In fact, there are many things that he doesn't need to do in person, but he just doesn't want to take a break. Since he came back, he has turned into a workaholic, and he won't stop for a moment.

The president intends to hand over the position of the president of the Hunter Association to him. In order to make him familiar, the president's office has been vacated for him.

It was good that way, Elan didn't even go back to the dormitory, and stayed in the office all day busy, and when he was really tired, he just lay down on the desk for a while.

His desperate working state quickly scared everyone at the headquarters. Although he was known to be diligent before, he was not so diligent.

This is not working at all, it is simply trying to make life difficult for yourself!

Therefore, James, who was entrusted by the president with a heavy responsibility to persuade Elan, appeared in Elan's office with a helpless face when the seniors were worried about the panic of the younger generations.

"James, here you are. Have you read the exploding bomb usage experience you submitted? I think this weapon still has room for improvement. Why don't we discuss it..."

As soon as Elan saw James coming in, he didn't ask him if he was okay, and directly planned to explain the task.

Of course, James didn't come to work, so he interrupted Elan directly, "Elan, let's put the work aside, you haven't rested for a few days."

These words stunned Elan for a moment, and then he slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, and said indifferently: "If you are worried about my body, then there is no need, I am very energetic now."

With that person's blood in your body, of course you are spiritual.James complained in his heart, but after all, he didn't dare to say it directly.

It's not that he doesn't know what Elan is avoiding. Now that he knows, there is no need to deliberately stimulate Elan.

Even if others are baffled by this guy's abnormality, James has a reason in his heart. This guy will do this because of Earl Levant.

Although it may not be appropriate to call that person like this now, James really hopes that it would be great if that person can come back to be Earl Levant.

He had been in contact with Kai in the past few days, and all the uninformed people at Novus were wondering why Earl Levant suddenly disappeared from the world.

Kai was also very uncomfortable about this matter, after all, he had always been the one who admired Roy the most.

But Roy did not go back. The Earl of Levant’s mansion has been empty now. According to Kai, the enchantment that was originally placed around the mansion seems to be gone. Now anyone can enter casually, but the inside is empty. , nothing.

"Even if you have energy, you can't waste it like this. There are still many things that require you to work hard in the future." After James said this sentence seriously, he pushed his glasses and walked towards Elan.

Elan only glanced at him before continuing to look down at the documents.

Well, if you don't want to work, I'll just do it myself.

Elan, who was thinking this way, forgot that he was not a scientific researcher, and without James, he could not improve the explosive bomb at all.

James was very neat this time, without a word of nonsense, he just grabbed Elan and dragged him out.

He was wearing a fingerless glove on his hand. Elan didn't notice it before, but when he noticed it, he found that half of his body was unconscious. Damn it, this guy attached an electric barrier to the glove!

"James, let me go!" Elan began to struggle. Although half of his body was paralyzed, he had enough strength to break James' neck with his other hand.

After all, James' pedigree is not as noble as him, and the difference in strength between the two is still obvious.

"I won't let you go. You can kill me if you have the ability." A backlight flashed on the lens, and the corners of James' lips curled up slightly. Although he was not Roy, he knew Elan very well.

Elan gritted his teeth angrily, raised his hand a few times, but failed to land on James' neck after all.

As a result, he was dragged out of the office by James, dragged out of the Hunter's Association, and went directly to a small bar in Vitto Caro.

There was a lot of noise in the small bar. The holy war had just ended, and humans had achieved equal status with other races, so everyone was very happy now, and such a jubilant night had been going on for a while.

There are also many low-level vampires and werewolves here, all of whom lived in Vitcarlo before, but at that time they were still very scrupulous about the Hunter Association and tried not to show their faces, and now they seem to have let go.

James dragged Elan to a corner and sat down, ordered two glasses of whiskey, then looked at the people celebrating in the bar and said, "To be honest, I never thought that the world would become like this one day."

The three races no longer kill each other, can let go of each other's scruples and drink and chat together lively, can share happiness and sorrow, and no longer deal with each other cautiously.

None of them had thought about such a situation before, and James even now has an incredible feeling that the foreign race has done it for them that they never thought of.

After all, the present freedom and happiness were generously given to them by the foreign race.

Thinking of this, there will be a little dissatisfaction in my heart, but James knows better that it is far more important than their dignity and pride to let thousands of incompetent human beings live freely and happily.

Elan didn't respond to James' words. From the very beginning, he only thought about revenge, thinking about driving the aliens out of the human world, and even retorted when Roy proposed the concept of symbiosis.

But Roy gave them freedom and victory so generously, without even asking for a little interest for himself.

In this way, who is the unreasonable person?Who is the selfish person?Who is the person who is so excessive that he should not be forgiven at all?

Elan took a big gulp of whiskey, and the spicy spirit rushed into his throat, which also washed away the complex emotions that had lingered in his heart for so many days.

Even though he knew that he couldn't continue to hate Roy, he still had a lot of knots in his heart, and the difference in their identities finally made him feel unrelieved.

He's also upset about the fact that Roy lied to him, it sucks to be played around.

But on the other hand, he couldn't help but miss the past, and he couldn't help thinking of Roy.

He despises such a contradictory self, so he has to force himself to work uninterruptedly, because only in this way can he force himself not to think about problems that should not be thought about.

"Elan." James, who had been observing his expression from the sidelines, spoke at this moment.

"Why?" Elan was a little annoyed.

"Shall we talk?" This side is probing.

"What's there to talk about?" This side continued to be angry.

James took a deep breath, pushed his glasses and said, "Tell me about you and Count Levant."

At that moment, Elan instinctively wanted to answer "don't talk about it", but before he could say anything, he suddenly realized that if he didn't talk to James about it, then there was really no one to talk to him about.

Seeing that he did not immediately refute, James seized the opportunity to start asking: "Do you regret stabbing him that day?"

Although James was not close to Elan and the others that day, such a big movement was still clearly seen, even though he was too surprised at Roy's identity at that time, he couldn't move at all.

To be honest, James was shocked that Elan would make such a move. After all, on the way to Caesar City, he just found out that Elan liked Roy.

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is understandable.

The extent of Elan's hatred for aliens is known to the entire Hunter Association. After all, after experiencing such a tragedy, Elan was only ten years old at the time, and the psychological shadow was indeed too serious.

If there hadn't been any overreaction then, it wouldn't have been Elan Field.

Elan was startled when he heard the words. He can still recall the feeling of the dagger being inserted into Roy's shoulder. The sharp blade easily cut through the skin and blood, and then penetrated deeply like that.

Do you regret it?Of course, but if time went back and started all over again, maybe he would still do it.

Because he was really angry at the time, so angry that he was irrational, and his mind went blank.

"That's what he owes me." Elan replied awkwardly after thinking for a few seconds.

James sighed helplessly, this guy, frankly, will he die?Obviously, the expression is already full of regret.

"Have you thought about what to do next?"

"no."

"Didn't think about going to him?" James knew that Elan might not have thought about it, but he still asked.

Elan looked up at him, closed his mouth tightly and did not answer. It's not that he hadn't thought about this question, but he couldn't think of an answer. So what if he went on, Roy has already left, hasn't he?

Even if he chased after him now, he might not be able to make Roy turn back. What's more, he was the one being played with, so why should he go after Roy?

James said Roy loved him, since he loved him, why did that guy leave?

"But it's true, there are more serious problems between you than the reunion." James took a sip of wine from the glass, and James said with emotion.

"what is the problem?"

"The races are different. When I think of Iris, I feel that falling in love with other races is actually a very painful thing. Elan, if Roy comes back to find you, are you... willing to become a blood race?"

James hesitated to ask this question, but Elan's answer did not hesitate at all.

"I don't want to!" He blurted out the three resolute words without hesitation.
