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

"The prisoner this time is the same as last time. He is a mutant." After entering the meeting room, James said while distributing the compiled materials to everyone for circulation.

After getting the information, Roy only glanced at it, then opened his eyes slightly. The change in expression at this moment was caught by Elan who happened to be looking at him, and he asked in a low voice, "Count, what's wrong?"

"Although it's also a mutant, but this time it seems to be..." Roy didn't finish his murmur, but raised his eyes to James. .

James pushed his glasses, nodded and said, "The Earl's guess is correct. The mutants this time are not vampires turned from humans, but vampires turned from werewolves."

"In other words, the incident has escalated." Roy shrugged and passed the information in his hand to Kursa. The latter seemed to have recovered from the shadow of the failure of the previous challenge. He took the information and read it.

Although Elan was surprised by this conclusion, he felt that such a result seemed to be reasonable. After the success of human experiments, it seemed natural to create mutants.

"No wonder I think their fangs and claws are thicker than vampires. It turns out that they are werewolves." Elan muttered, frowning, remembering the details he had noticed before.

James went to his seat and sat down, crossed his fingers on the table, and said solemnly: "From various physical data, mutant werewolves are much more powerful than mutant humans. From this we can conclude that, The stronger the person's own ability, the stronger the ability after the mutation."

"So, if the werewolf elders have undergone this kind of mutation, their ability is likely to surpass the elders of the blood race? Kursa threw this question lightly."

"Yes, it is very possible, but I always feel that this should require some kind of prerequisite, for example, if they can get the blood of the blood elders to mutate."

When James said this, he glanced at Minister Rockress. The latter looked very solemn, and his old but energetic face was full of contemplation.

After a long time, Minister Rockress said: "I will report this matter to the headquarters as soon as possible. If there are upgraded mutants in Novis, then there should have been other regions."

"Well, the enemy won't be so bored as to only attack Novus. It seems that the association has been busy recently. Also, I'm still thinking about who is doing this kind of experiment? Is that a werewolf or a vampire?"

As soon as James finished speaking, Kursa glanced at him indiscriminately. There was sarcasm and vague displeasure in that glance, and even the breath around him became even colder.

Roy glanced at Kursa quietly, the smile on the corner of his mouth remained unchanged, and he said, "Based on what I know about the vampires, their pride will not allow them to do such a thing."

"However, if the blood race is to completely break the balance with the werewolf and achieve a decisive victory, it is not completely impossible." Elan said thoughtfully.

Roy looked at him sideways, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, "Mr. Field, it seems that my previous persuasion to you was completely useless. You really made me so sad.".

Thinking that Roy was teasing himself again, Elan couldn't help feeling a little displeased, glared at Roy, and said in a low voice: "Count, we are discussing a very serious issue now, you must continue to play tricks at this time." Human ability?"

This made Roy startled, blinked his eyes a few times at random, and stopped talking. Kursa, who was not far away, squinted at him, and his eyes seemed to say: I told you a long time ago not to waste on this guy. Is it time?

Roy smiled back and looked back. The unusually relaxed look showed that he didn't care about this little setback at all.Kursa couldn't help but rolled his eyes, glared at him angrily, and looked away.

James frowned in embarrassment, and expressed a relatively neutral opinion: "Although from the appearance, the proud blood race disdains to do such a thing, but Elan's thinking also has some truth, this matter is still temporary. It’s better not to jump to conclusions too early.”

Elan nodded, and was about to echo, but Kai exaggerated screams came from outside the meeting room: "Senior Elan, Earl, it's not good, the enchantment has reflected!"

Almost immediately after hearing these words, Elan and Roy left their seats at the same time, and rushed towards the door of the meeting room.

The two arrived at the door almost at the same time. Elan stretched out his hand to open the door, and in this way grabbed Roy's hand that pressed the doorknob one step ahead of him.

"Uh……"

The two people who stopped at the same time turned their heads to look at each other. Elan uttered a monosyllable with some embarrassment. Roy was wearing gloves, but even so, through the thin layer of gloves, Elan could still directly feel He has a lower body temperature than normal.

And that body temperature seemed to have some kind of aggressiveness, and it was transmitted along his meridians and blood vessels to his brain at once, making him withdraw his hand suddenly as if he had been scalded.

"Mr. Field, your palms are still as warm as ever." Roy is worthy of being the one who never changed his face before Mount Tai collapsed. At this moment, instead of caring about the enchantment, he started teasing Elan again.

Elan twitched the corner of his mouth, suppressing the inexplicable emotion that was throbbing in his heart, and said helplessly, "Thank you for your compliment, Earl, but if you can open the door quickly, I will be more grateful to you."

"Of course, I am willing to help you." Roy opened the door of the meeting room with a smile, and then rushed out with Elan one after the other.

Behind him, James propped his head on his hands, the mirror reflected a backlight, and muttered with a smile: "The Earl used the word 'as usual', do they often have that kind of contact?"

Kursa spread his hands and stood up, turned around and walked out, saying as he walked, "Who knows, maybe there is something between them that is not certain."

Elan and Roy rushed to the location shown on the map in the pool as quickly as possible, which was the market in the central square of Novus.

Because it was broad daylight, even though there were already a lot of people gathered, the sudden mutation caused the crowd to run away screaming. Of course, some people were too frightened to be able to move on the ground.

Elan saw the scene of the incident almost from a distance, because the "perpetrator" was really high-profile!

And Kursa, James, and Kai who came after them also quickly saw the bloody and terrifying scene here.

Spreading huge black wings and stopping in mid-air, it was the elder of the blood clan who was wearing a black elder suit and whose appearance was so glamorous that people would never forget it at a glance——Lu Xien Benjamin.

In his right hand he held his long black sword of the same shape as the sacred object, and two people were strung on the long sword.Blood was continuously dripping from the pierced parts of the two people, and gathered into a large puddle on the ground of the market.

"Long-winged vampire..." Kay, who saw Lucian for the first time, opened his mouth tremblingly, so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Elan was shocked to see Lucian in the air, and couldn't imagine what he was doing. Is this a provocation from the blood race?To kill with such cruel methods!

As if he had noticed them, Lucian flapped his wings lightly, and the person flew towards them. The blood dripping from the corpse on the long sword also sprinkled all the way, and the citizens paralyzed on the ground gave out bursts of ear-piercing screams. scream.

Lucian stopped in mid-air in front of them, then flicked his hand, the corpse on the long sword was thrown out suddenly, with two "bang bang", the corpse hit the ground heavily.

"Hey, what do you mean by that?"

A corpse fell right in front of Kursa, and the blood from the corpse splashed onto his pants. He raised his head, looked at Lucian and asked coldly.

Lu Xi'an's face was so beautiful that it was almost as beautiful as Roy's. At this moment, it seemed to be icy cold, and the sword in his hand had changed back to the prototype of a cross. Under the sun, you could see blood stains on the cross and the bead chain .

"Humans, can't you smell their disgusting smell? It's unbearable to be mixed with such garbage in the crowd and mistake them for my race."

Lu Xi'an's tone was full of sarcasm, and his cold eyes showed deep contempt. He looked down on human beings from the bottom of his heart!

"You!" Several hunters took a step forward impulsively, and Kursa also clenched his dagger tightly, but did not react too much.

Roy pressed the shoulder of Elan, who also seemed a little impulsive, and shook his head at him with a smile on his face.

Kai and James both clenched their fists, but both restrained their emotions.

"Hehehe..."

Laughter suddenly sounded from behind the crowd, and the relaxed and cheerful laughter immediately broke the tense atmosphere in the market. Everyone turned their heads, only to see Minister Rockress walking slowly.

"Lord Lucian, thank you very much for helping us kill these two mutants, we understand what you mean."

With a kind smile on his face, Minister Rockcrest's words virtually dispelled Lucian's evil spirit overflowing in the air, and at the same time comforted the nervous and emotional hunters.

Lucian looked down at him for a while, didn't say anything, and flew away with flapping wings. He was heading south, and it didn't look like he was going back to the Land of Polar Night.

After taking the two corpses on the ground back to the association for inspection, James confirmed that they were also mutants who turned from werewolves to vampires.

"Could it be that Lucian felt their aura when he passed above the market, so he killed them? But how did he know that we mistaken these mutants for vampires?"

Kai Ban lay on the table in the conference room, holding his head in his hands, and said the above sentence with a lingering expression.

After returning from the market, he knew from Roy that Lucian was the elder of the blood clan they met when they went to Sayahua last time. He remembered the appearance of Lucian he had imagined in his mind before, and then looked at what he saw today. The strong contrast between the front and back made him very weak.

You know, he originally imagined Lucian as a terrifying vampire with a pale face and sharp fangs. Who knew that the contrast between reality and fantasy would be so great. That guy is simply a handsome guy! .

James shrugged, raised his eyebrows and said, "According to eyewitnesses, Lucian suddenly rushed down from the sky and killed the man, so your guess should be correct. As for how he knew, maybe it was the last incident and they just killed him." I got the news, after all, there should be some peaceful vampires living in Novus."

"That is to say, the person who created the mutant is not a vampire?" Kay sat up straight and asked with some effort.

"Judging from his reaction, it shouldn't be. He pierced his heart with a sword and smashed his corpse. He obviously hates those two mutants to the extreme." Elan spread his hands, with a helpless expression.

It has long been heard that Lu Xi'an is the most proud and cold-blooded among the four elders, and now it seems that the rumors are true, even though he has an extraordinary handsome face.

In contrast, the human side... Thinking of this, Elan couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Roy. The blond earl still had his signature smile, which made people feel grateful and comfortable.

The handsome man on the human side is much softer!

This idea appeared in his mind again and again, and Elan couldn't help but pinch himself secretly. Damn it, why did he think of these messy things again!

Instead of thinking about this, it seems that he should think more carefully about why Lucian didn't kill him and Luoy in Sayahua that time. At that time, it was clear that if he used a little more force, his sword would pierce through Luoy.

"If the werewolves created this series of vicious incidents, then it seems that they may want to provoke a holy war again."

After saying this, Roy rubbed his temples with his hands, as if he felt a little embarrassed about his conclusion. Although he had already given a hint before, when the matter really came to the fore, whether the members of the Hunter Association could bear it? grasp.

Sure enough, most of the hunters in the room turned pale, and some of the timid and weak ones turned pale and even started to tremble.

Kursa plucked his ears and said boredly, "So what about the jihad, this time we won't be beaten passively."

"Ku, senior Kursa, do you mean that we also want to participate in the holy war?"

"If you don't participate, you will be treated as a source of food and blood."

"But, how can we participate..."

Regarding this question, Kursa glanced at his lips, as if he did not want to answer.

Elan and James glanced at him at the same time, as if they already understood what he meant by what he didn't say.

In fact, in the final analysis, although hunters have the mission of protecting human beings, when the holy war really comes and everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, no one has the energy to protect others.

Even a high-level hunter like Kursa may only be able to protect himself in the jihad. If human beings do not have enough awareness, when the jihad begins, death will be the only ending.

The atmosphere in the main room suddenly became heavy, no one spoke, and no one knew what to say at this moment.

Silence and stiffness filled the air, and restless anxiety spread throughout the nerves. Everyone looked at the people around them, as if they were afraid of a sudden embarrassment.

In such a tense atmosphere, Roy suddenly laughed. His voice was very soft, but it fell into everyone's ears clearly. It was like a bunch of flames that suddenly lit up in the dark night, which made people laugh. Involuntarily want to follow.

Everyone focused their eyes on him, those icy blue eyes were born with magical power, once people met them, they couldn't turn their eyes away.

"Everyone, don't be so afraid. Even if the jihad has to start again, there is still a period of time. Why don't you use this time to work hard to improve your own strength, so as to prepare for protecting yourself and your family in the future. Some things may be unavoidable , but in any case, we cannot back down before things start.”

These simple words invisibly greatly inspired everyone's fighting spirit, and the faces that were full of anxiety and tension before gradually became relaxed, and even smiled.

Kai suddenly remembered the special training Camilla gave him before, and suddenly remembered that he was no longer the weak Kai who made Elan lazy to look at him.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up, clapped his hands on the table, and said loudly: "The earl is right, even we have the qualifications to cherish life, there must be a way to improve our strength Yes, let's all work together!".

"Yeah, just like Senior Elan said before, we cannot be ravaged by alien races. Although we are weak, at least we have a numerical advantage."

"That's right, as long as everyone works together, we will definitely be able to gather strength."

"I have never been serious about the training before. I have decided that I will definitely participate in the special training in the future, and I will never be lazy again!"

"Haha, if even you have made such a determination, then we can't do it without working hard!"

In this way, everyone's atmosphere quickly lifted, and after they all adjourned, Elan looked at Roy gratefully, smiled and said, "Thank you, Earl."

The same inspiring words, Elan felt that if they were spoken from him, Kursa, or even Minister Rocres, they would not have such good effects as Roy.

Roy is born with such a charm that people trust his charm unconsciously.

"Mr. Field, if you want to thank me, why don't you give some practical gifts. Speaking of which, you seem to owe me a kiss. I will ask you back if I have the chance."

"..."

At that moment, Elan made a very important decision, that is, he would never say the word "thank you" to Roy again!

Since he has initially understood the reason for this vicious incident, Minister Rockress decided to let James and Kursa take the captured mutants back to the headquarters to report the situation, and check whether the headquarters has received reports from other regions. .

If relevant reports are produced in various regions, it means that the incident of mutants has already posed a threat to all mankind, and the Hunter Association must take corresponding countermeasures.

After seeing off Kursa and James, Elan just walked into the gate of the main house when he heard loud laughter from inside.Immediately afterwards, he was hit by Kai who was running towards him but was looking behind him. What's more, Kai was holding a cup in his hand, and all the warm water in the cup spilled on his clothes.

Moreover, Kai's other raised hand hit him heavily on the shoulder, and the position where he was hit happened to be the wound where he was cut by the mutant before.

"Ah, senpai! I'm really sorry, are you okay?"

Kai, who realized that he had caused trouble, was so nervous that his face turned green. He stared at Elan with wide eyes, and kept wiping Elan's clothes with his empty hands. As you can imagine, the pool of water was covered by him It got bigger and bigger.

Elan looked helplessly at his ruined clothes, raised his hand and flicked Kai's forehead, and asked angrily, "What happened, so happy?"

As soon as Kai heard this question, Kai seemed to have completely forgotten what happened before. He suddenly grabbed Elan's arm and shouted excitedly: "Senior, senior, let me tell you, Minister Rockress has finally decided to The hunter promotion test has been held! Now I hope to become a high-level hunter!"

The Hunter Association holds promotion exams every once in a while. As long as they pass the exam, the assistants can be promoted to senior hunters. Once they are promoted to senior hunters, they can perform tasks alone in the future.

The exams are held independently by the head of each branch. As long as the head agrees, the exam can be held at any time, and those who pass the exam will be issued a senior hunter certificate by the headquarters.

"Senior, if I can pass the exam, I will be the first senior hunter of our Wallace family! I am so happy!"

Kai was still dancing and talking, completely unaware that more and more water in his glass was spilling on Elan's clothes.

Elan glanced at Minister Rockress who was sitting at the table not far away, and then both of them had clear emotions in their eyes.

Generally speaking, the branch chief will hold the promotion exam only when he is certain that someone can pass the exam, that is to say, Minister Rockress already has a candidate for promotion in mind. .

Kai and the others may not know about such a default agreement, but Elan, who had been working at the headquarters before, knew it very well.

But even so, he still touched Kai's head with a smile, squeezed the baby's face, and said with a grin, "Kai, are you too happy? You haven't passed the exam yet."

"Yeah, senpai, I seem to have gotten a little carried away."

"That's right, even if you want to be happy, it has to be after the exam is over."

"That makes sense, then I'm going to keep going to the special training!"

"Well, when is the exam scheduled?"

"Tomorrow!" Kai made a V-shaped gesture, and said the answer without hesitation that left Elan speechless.

tomorrow?Hey, it seems that there is no need to go to special training, how much progress can be made in one night.

After Kai ran out of the main house excitedly, Elan reluctantly returned to his dormitory. The entire front of his clothes was wet by Kai, and he had no choice but to change it.

When the line of sight touched the pure white bandage on his shoulder, the scene of Kai hitting him heavily before appeared again. Speaking of which, it seemed that since Roy bandaged his wound that day, the wound had never hurt again?Even when Kai hit the wound directly just now, there was no pain at all.

This seems to be really strange. Even if he is more pain-tolerant, it doesn't mean he doesn't have pain nerves. It's really weird now.

Remembering that Roy had repeatedly told him that the bandages could only be removed after ten days, Elan's curiosity became more and more serious, and he didn't care about Roy reminding him that curiosity would kill the cat, and his fingers stretched out like a ghost to the bandage.

As the bandage was removed, the wound that had been cut to the bone by the mutant before was gradually exposed, but to Elan's shock, the wound disappeared!

It was as if everything that happened dozens of hours ago was just a dream, and the bloody wound had completely disappeared!

In less than three days, such a deep wound has completely healed in less than three days, without even leaving any scars?

Elan's mouth opened wide suddenly, and the hand holding the bandage was clenched unconsciously. What's going on?Even if Roy said that he was given the special medicine made by the Levante family, it is impossible to have such a special effect, right?

However, if it wasn't for the special medicine, how could the wound disappear completely?He wouldn't even believe it if it wasn't on his own shoulders. .

The only ones whose wounds heal automatically after being injured are aliens, right?He is a human being, so it is impossible for him to have this ability, right?what is going on?

For a moment, countless doubts filled Elan's mind, and he was stunned, sitting blankly on the chair, unable to move at all.

What the hell happened?He always felt that something unexpected happened quietly when he didn't realize it.

Elan didn't know how long he had been sitting in the dormitory, the blood in his body seemed to be coagulated, and the nerve endings were all blocked, as if he couldn't perceive everything outside.

It wasn't until someone pinned his shoulders that he suddenly jumped up, and the excessive movement directly knocked over the chair under him.

"Senior, what's wrong with you?" Kay, who was frightened by his actions, stepped back a few steps, hugged his chest nervously, and made an exaggerated look of fear.

Senior Elan, what happened?It was already midnight, and only his room was still lit in the entire association, and he was actually sitting here with his upper body naked, motionless.

Although he admitted that Senior Elan's figure is really good, and it's really seductive to look at it a few more times, but the question is, isn't he cold, Senior?It's almost winter recently!

Elan suddenly came back to his senses, and then realized that he was about to freeze, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on his body, so he quickly put on his clothes.

Seeing him come back to his senses, Kai leaned closer and asked cautiously, "Hey, senior, what's the matter with you? Why are you standing here naked?"

"Uh, it's nothing. Kai, did you come back from the earl's mansion?"

"That's right, Mr. Camilla said that if you have an exam tomorrow, you shouldn't be too tired today, so let me come back early and go to bed early. And the count seems to be planning to go out, and Mr. Camilla will help him prepare."

Kai spread his hands helplessly, as if he felt sorry for not being able to finish the special training today.

But what he said made Elan's eyes widen slightly, "You said, the count is going out?"

"Well, it seems like I'm going to visit a friend."

"Do you know where he's going?"

"I heard it seems to be... By the way, it's Monte City, the second most prosperous city in the north."

Monte City!These three words seemed to be a flash of golden light in Elan's mind. Roy became a friend in Montai?Alice!He is going to visit the former elder Iris of the blood race?

Thinking about this question in shock, Elan clenched his fists hard. There must be nothing wrong. Roy must have visited Iris because he sensed the crisis. He wanted to get some kind of hint from Iris. Or help is not necessarily!

Elan suddenly remembered the story recorded in "The Legend of the Blood Race". After drinking the blood of the blood race, human beings would not grow old again, and their bodies also underwent some changes, and they began to be able to use some special abilities of the blood race.

Does his current physical condition have something to do with this story?Iris, if it's that Iris, I should be able to give him the answer!
