The Mystery of the Mixed Blood at the Dangerous Earl's Mansion

"How do you know this?"

"Didn't I say that, I have blood friends."

"It seems that I can no longer refute your point of view. Just like what you said, there are also kind and righteous people among alien races, but why are you suddenly discussing this topic with me?"

Although Elan can often sense that Roy has a purpose in doing things, he has always been unable to figure out what purpose Roy wants to achieve.

He always felt that Roy's purpose should be coherent, and what was hidden behind those coherent purposes would be a huge surprise.

Roy looked at him and smiled, shrugged his shoulders after a while and said, "Maybe, I want to downplay your hatred of foreigners."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because, such hatred towards aliens may not be a good thing for you."

"Not a good thing? What do you mean by that?"

"In the long run, alien races and human beings will eventually come to a day of complete symbiosis. When one day in the future, there will be many alien races around you, and you have to live with them, won't such emotions always make you Are you troubled?"

Elan listened quietly to Roy's words. This seemed to be the first serious conversation between them, and it was also the first time that Roy narrated a fact to him in such a peaceful manner without any hint of ridicule. .

Elan couldn't help frowning, maybe in his concept, the day Roy said would never come.

He can't imagine that alien races will live in complete symbiosis with humans, because to realize such an ideal, alien races must let go of their superior attitude and adapt to human life.

Whether it was a werewolf or a vampire, he couldn't imagine that they could make such a concession.

Looking at his pensive look, Roy couldn't help but deepen the smile on the corner of his mouth, and the ice blue eyes shone with a little light, which looked bright and moving.

The living room became very quiet, but this kind of silence was full of peace, not the awkward silence between them several times, but the naturalness that seemed to be that the two of them were finally able to be honest with each other.

After a while, Elan came back to his senses, looked at the smiling Roy, and a few drops of cold sweat suddenly flowed from his forehead, "Count, although I am very grateful that you are so considerate of me, but are you talking too much about the topic?" Too far?"

Roy blinked, with an innocent expression on his face, "Mr. Field, you really misunderstood me. I just wanted to enlighten you before answering your question."

"Okay, I admit that your words are really convincing, and I will seriously consider your proposal, so can you answer my question now?"

"Of course, but what do you want to ask me? Please forgive me for being forgetful recently."

These words made Elan completely speechless, and he knew that Roy had no intention of answering his question at all!

The hands on his knees couldn't help but clenched into fists. Elan suppressed the veins popping out of his forehead, and patiently repeated his question, "What I'm asking you is, why is the barrier outside only blocking Kai?"

"Maybe it's because you are stronger." Roy answered very smoothly, but Elan felt that this answer was false no matter how he heard it!

"Count, please answer my question seriously!"

"Mr. Field, I swear on behalf of the Levant family, I really mean it."

"..."

Elan now has a deep sense of powerlessness, which he has never felt since he joined the Hunter Association. The Earl in front of him is really too difficult.

But now the answers to all the questions seem to be in the hands of this difficult person.

Just thinking about how else to get Roy to speak, Roy suddenly raised his head to look at the gate of the mansion, and then said with some surprise: "A hunter is here. It's a bit unexpected to come here at this time."

Elan intuitively looked at the pendulum clock in the corner. It was past four o'clock in the afternoon. He didn't understand why this time surprised Roy.

Roy understood his thoughts with just one glance at him, and he replied with a smile: "The Hunter Association used to invite me to have afternoon tea, but this time is obviously a bit late."

afternoon tea……

Well, Elam decided not to comment on the subject anyway.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of the mansion. Roy got up to open the door, and Elan followed.

Standing outside the door was indeed a hunter from the Hunter Association. He was sweating profusely and panting. When he saw Roy and Elan, he said eagerly, "Earl, senior, I'm sorry to bother you, but another vicious incident happened. Already!"

"What!" Elan's eyes widened.

Roy raised his brows, and the expression between his brows and eyes became a little serious, "Sure enough, the news of the unexpected arrival of time won't be good news."

"Take me to the scene!" Elan rushed out the door and grabbed the hunter's arm.

Behind him, Roy smiled and asked, "Mr. Field, do you need me to go with you?"

"No need for now, I want to investigate first myself."

"Well then, if there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate."

Hearing this, Elan twitched the corners of his mouth, looked helplessly at the earl, turned around and left with the hunter who came to deliver the message.

The reason for refusing Roy to go with him was not because he wanted to reject Roy's help, but because he didn't want to make himself look useless. Occasionally recently, he had the idea that he hoped that in Roy's eyes, his ability It is worthy of recognition.

Roy watched their backs gradually walking away, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared, his ice blue eyes narrowed slightly, and a chill gradually appeared in those pupils.

"Alan, you're here."

As soon as he arrived at the scene of the crime, Elan heard the voice of Minister Rockcres. The old man who always had a kind smile on his face looked very serious today.

"Minister, I'm sorry, I went to Earl Levant's because I had something to do, and I couldn't come to the scene immediately."

Minister Rockress would come to the scene in person, probably because he couldn't find himself or Kai in the first place. Thinking of this, Elan felt a little guilty.

"It doesn't matter, Kai should be there for special training, right? To be honest, I am very happy that Camilla is willing to guide him personally."

"So, you know about Kay?"

"Well, I watched that child grow up. I know exactly what he is thinking. Since he was put on a sacred object, he has been under a lot of psychological pressure. If he can improve his strength through special training, I think he will It feels much better." Minister Rockress said here, and the corners of his mouth finally curled up into a smile again.

Elan nodded, seeing the hunters not far away were dealing with the crime scene, he stepped up and walked over with Minister Rockress.

It seems that because of the experience of the previous vicious incident, everyone is much calmer when dealing with the scene than last time. This slight change makes Elan feel very relieved. .

"The time of death of the deceased was between one o'clock and four o'clock in the morning yesterday. There are a total of two dead people whose identities are being confirmed." When he got to the side of the corpse, Minister Rockress said something in a low voice. From his voice, he Very saddened by this vicious incident.

Elan knelt down next to the corpse in silence. The crime scene was in the outskirts of Novus, and few people usually come here, which is why the corpse was discovered after such a long time.

Different from the previous vicious incident, the condition of the corpse this time was very tragic.

The dead were two males. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be local farmers in Novus. Like the last dead, they were also drained of their blood.

The murderer brutally sucked them dry and tore their bodies apart.

Elan saw the sharp paw prints on the corpse, and the traces left by the long nails and the torn corpse made him clenched his fists angrily.

Minister Rockcrest noticed the change in his mood, reached out and pressed his shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice, "Elan, maybe what we have to face next will become more and more difficult."

Elan gritted his teeth, and the grief and anger that spread from him at that moment even infected the entire space. All the hunters stopped their movements, and even the sun in the sky hid behind the clouds.

Minister Rockress glanced at everyone present, and said solemnly and calmly: "At every moment in the future, I hope that everyone will remain vigilant. The crisis has come. From this moment on, we must not only unite If we want to protect the citizens of Novus, we must also protect ourselves.”

"That's right, maybe for alien races, human life is like ants, but for us, it is the most precious flower of life, we will never allow them to trample on it wantonly!"

Elan stood up, looked at everyone and said loudly, he was a little emotional, at the moment when the alien race was so rampant, he could hardly suppress the rising anger in his body.

After being stunned for a few seconds, everyone nodded vigorously at the same time, looking at Elan and Minister Rockcrest with trust and respect in their eyes.

Minister Rockress nodded to everyone with relief, and then signaled everyone to continue working.

"The murderer seems to be a vampire again. It seems that this case is related to the last one. Kursa and James went to Lille City. The case there may also be related to this one."

Elan nodded, looked down at the torn wounds on the body, frowned and said, "This time we can no longer be confused by appearances, if the two cases are really related, then the murderer this time will not be vampire."

"Well, judging from the condition of the corpse, the condition of the murderer has obviously escalated. Elan, before finding the murderer, I hope to reduce the number of victims. Is there anything you can do about it?"

If the case is as difficult as last time, the number of victims will be difficult to estimate until the murderer is found, which is intolerable from Rockcrest's point of view.

Elan bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Well, first inform the whole city that everyone should not go out at night, and then I will build a defensive barrier, so that we can detect any changes."

Rockress raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard the words, "You mean to set up a giant barrier all over the city?"

"Yes, only in this way can we quickly grasp the murderer's movements."

"Can you do it alone? Novus is a big city."

"Can't you help me?"

"Elan, not all high-level hunters can be proficient in spells. My specialty is fighting and strength. I am not good at spells. The only person in the association who can assist you may be Kursa, but he is now in Lille. city."

Hearing this sentence, Elan's mind immediately recalled what Roy had said to him before that everyone is good at different fields.

In other words, he really often thinks of what Roy said recently. Although Roy said it very casually every time, he remembered all those words unconsciously.

It's just that although he can understand the correctness of this sentence, he now suddenly thinks that humans don't have this special ability, so why do hunters have different areas of expertise?

How did this difference come about?

How did Roy see at a glance what areas he and Kai are good at?

The question that popped up in his mind at that moment made Elan stunned for a while, Rockcres thought he was worried about the enchantment issue, and said to him: "I heard that in the last incident, Earl Levant used the vampire If so, he should be able to help you complete the establishment of the enchantment."

Elan recovered and nodded.

Of course he knew that Roy could assist him to complete the enchantment, but now he wanted to know how to explain the series of questions.

"Who!" Suddenly, someone yelled nervously.

Elan's nerves tensed all of a sudden, and when he turned his head, he saw a black figure sprinting past in the woods not far from them.

"I'm going to chase! Everyone be careful!" Elan gave the order decisively, kicked his feet, and the whole person chased after the shadow at a very fast speed.

Elan's high-speed movement is very fast. According to the information stored in the association, his speed is completely comparable to that of an elder-level werewolf.

So he caught up with the black figure after a few minutes, even though the angle of the black figure scurrying through the forest was very tricky.

The sound of the wind whizzed by his ears, and Elan heard his heart beating "thumping". He was so close that he could already see that the fleeing black figure was a person.

"caught you!"

Stretching out a palm and pushing on the back of the black shadow, Elan shouted loudly and stopped in his tracks.

He used a lot of strength in that palm just now, and the black shadow was pushed by his feet, and the whole person fell to the ground with a "bang".

Elan squatted down, pressed the opponent's shoulder heavily, twisted his right hand, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The person suppressed by him gasped heavily, struggling desperately, and the constant force coming from under his palm made Elan realize that the opponent's strength was very strong, and he was definitely not an ordinary human being.

Elan had no choice but to press the opponent's back with his knees, and twisted the hand that was being suppressed by him, "I advise you not to struggle, otherwise, I don't promise that I won't twist your arm off."

The stern warning made the other party stop struggling. The man turned his face and stared at Elan fiercely.

It was an unfamiliar face, with a slightly bluish complexion, fangs protruding from the corners of the mouth, and deep black eyes. These simple features told Elan that it was a vampire.

At least, the guy is ostensibly a vampire.

"Human, I advise you to let me go." A deep and hoarse voice sounded, and the person who seemed to be completely suppressed by Elan seemed to be still at ease at the moment.

Elan frowned slightly, before he had time to think about what this sentence meant, the special smell from the wind had already made him tense up.

A rustling sound followed, and the sharp blade cut through the air and flew straight towards Elan's back.

Elan quickly sensed the crisis. He turned sideways, swung his wrist heavily and hit the side of the flying sharp knife, and swung the sharp knife away.

But in this way, as soon as his subordinates relaxed, the powerful alien immediately broke free from his restraints, rolled over, and kicked Elan's head.

At the critical moment, Elan lowered his head to avoid this heavy flying kick, rolled on the ground, and then immediately turned over and jumped up.

After a bang, another stranger came out of the woods. Like the one Elan caught earlier, he looked like a vampire.

Elan stared at the two of them vigilantly, while pulling out the short knife he had hidden in his waist.

The two alien races also put on a fighting posture. Elan noticed that their claws were particularly long and the fangs in their mouths were also particularly thick, which was obviously different from ordinary vampires.

Thinking about the reasons for this situation, the two aliens howled to the sky and launched an attack at the same time. Elan narrowed his eyes slightly and focused on the counterattack.

With a sound of "clang", the dagger accurately caught the paw swung by a foreign race. Taking advantage of this momentary gap, Elan raised his foot and kicked the opponent's chest violently.

But the two alien races in front of him were obviously different from the low-level alien races he had killed before. These two guys were very experienced and very responsive.

Elan's foot missed the opponent's chest, and the opponent immediately dodged away after sensing his movement.

There was a strong wind sound from the back of his head, and Elan squatted down sharply while sweeping his legs backwards, forcing another alien who had rushed behind him to retreat.

The movements of the three people stopped for a moment at the same time, and then they attacked again at the same time.

This time, Elan tried his best, and he knew that if the battle continued to be delayed, it would be very detrimental to him.

He silently recited a series of incantations, and a faint enchantment began to condense around him. This enchantment will do the defensive work for him, so that he only needs to focus on attacking.

With a "bang", a fist of a foreign race hit Elan's barrier, and the next second, the huge backlash made him howl in pain, and all the power he hit on the barrier was fed back to him on his fist.

Elan took this opportunity to kick him over, and then the short knife was forcefully inserted into his thigh!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——)) Elan's hand holding the knife tightly didn't tremble. He knew that he couldn't be softhearted at this time, because softheartedness might lead to a complete failure."

Amidst the screams of the foreign race, he drew out his dagger, and was about to make another cut on the man's other leg, when two figures sprang out of the woods!

The newcomers were obviously the accomplices of the previous two alien races. Both of these guys had weapons in their hands, an ax and a sickle, and they slashed at Elam from behind at the same time.

It was too late for Elan to make another cut, and he threw himself to the side, avoiding the ax and sickle.

At this moment, another foreign race rushed onto his body, pressing his whole body under him.

Oops!Elan screamed in his heart, and when he was about to overturn the foreign race on his body, there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and the foreign race with the sickle slashed his shoulder with the sickle!

Blood gushed out in an instant, and Elan knew how much the smell of blood would irritate the alien race. Regardless of the severe pain, he raised his leg and kicked over the person who was pressing on him.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of wind in the air, and then, the alien with the sickle let out a heart-piercing scream, and his huge body fell to the ground.

Elan's eyes widened in surprise, and he saw an exquisite dagger being inserted into the chest of the alien. A golden rose was carved on the handle of the dagger. That symbol was no stranger to Elan.

There were rustling sounds again in the woods, and a slender figure slowly came out of the woods. The sun shone on the man's body, making his blond hair shine like gold.

At this moment, that beautiful face was covered with thick frost, and the sapphire-like ice blue eyes just looked at the aliens, making them feel a strong sense of oppression.There was no need for Roy to do anything more. The two alien races who were not injured had already turned and fled in horror, even ignoring their injured companions.

The alien who had been stabbed by Elan in the leg looked at Roy in a panic, trying to escape, but the moment he turned around, he was punched by Roy, who rushed to him, and passed out.

"Senior Elan! Are you okay!" Kai rushed out of the woods with sweat on his face at this time, seeing that Elan's life was not in danger, he turned his head and stared at Roy and said, "Count, you can't run too fast!" It's too fast! I can't catch up with you even if I try my best to drive the carriage, are you really human?"

Camilla, who was following Kai, also appeared soon. He lowered his head and glanced at the two injured aliens, and quickly tied them up with the rope he brought.

"Kay, Earl, how could you..." Elan still couldn't recover at the moment, what happened before was so fast that he had no time to react.

"The count said you were in danger, so we came here together. Fortunately, we came here. Senior, you almost died!" Kai said, walking over to help Elan.

Elan curled his lips, glanced at Roy, who was still expressionless until now, and muttered in a low voice: "It's not so exaggerated, I just suffered a little injury."

"It's still a small injury, and I can see the bones!" Kai glanced at his wound, exaggeratedly shouted, and then dragged him out of the woods, "Anyway, hurry up and heal the wound, it will hurt if this continues." Excessive blood loss."

"I'm really fine, I'm going to..."

"Mr. Field, don't worry, Kai and I will help you send these two guys to the Hunter's Association." Camilla, who was dragging the two alien races behind Elan, said lightly, interrupting him very directly.

"Wait a minute, I also want to go back to the Association for healing..."

"No, senior, you're going back to the Earl's Mansion with the Earl now, and judging from the current distance, it's obvious that we are closer to the Mansion than to the Hunter's Association."

Elan's words were interrupted again. Although it was Kai who interrupted him this time, it still left him speechless. Why does it feel like his human rights are getting less and less now?If this continues, will he not be able to decide anything for himself?

After hesitating, he was pushed into a carriage by Kai. After making sure that he was seated, Kai turned around and got into another carriage driven by Camilla, and walked away with Camilla.

Roy also got into the carriage a few seconds later, he sat in the driving seat, and then drove the carriage towards the earl's mansion.

The road was very quiet, except for the rolling sound of the wheels of the carriage, there were almost no other sounds. Elan sat in the carriage and looked at Roy's back, feeling a little depressed for some reason.

How did Roy know he was in danger? .

And Kai said just now that he tried his best to drive the carriage but failed to catch up with Roy. So, did Roy feel that the carriage was too slow and he moved at a high speed to catch up?

He actually did this for himself?

When Roy shot just now, the extremely cold murderous aura emanating from him made Elan feel strange, and he couldn't even imagine that it came from Roy.

That was an even more shocking murderous aura than the last time Roy and Krause fought, it could freeze the air together, that's why the two alien races were so scared that they fled in a hurry.

Was he erupting like that just now because of himself?Elan couldn't help but start thinking about this question.

It didn't take long for the carriage to reach the gate of the mansion. Roy took the lead and jumped out of the carriage, and Elan followed him into the mansion.

After entering the living room, Roy took out the medicine box and was silent for a while, before turning his head to look at Elan with a smile and saying, "Mr. Field, if you hadn't rejected my proposal before, you might not have to get hurt now. "

Elan didn't answer right away. He didn't know if it was his illusion. He felt that the smile on Roy's face at the moment was a little scary, especially since Roy had been silent for too long before, and that kind of silence made him feel a little startled.

"Actually, I'm fine, and it doesn't hurt as much as I imagined." Twirling the corners of his mouth, Elan looked at Roy after saying this, only feeling that the smile on his face was even more terrifying.
