Angel on earth

"Because I love him."

Aaron sneered inexplicably, put three fingers on the moonstone on the top of the cane, and tapped it one after another.

Aaron made a gesture, and Laura didn't seem to be aware of or could not believe the difference between this kind of love and the fanatic's love for the idol. A stone statue silently handed him his hand, and he helped him onto the carriage.Before the three of them could sit still, Emile had already raised her front hooves and headed towards the urban area of ​​Yaranburg.

Laura sat on the same side as Sergio, with Aaron's back to Mikhail.The four of them were silent amidst the rattle of the car. After a while, Laura made a decisive decision and said:

"Let me go first. John is dying. In the early hours of Christmas, those...those monsters, throwing stones and fire everywhere, I thought nothing would happen...a fireball hit us. The house was on fire, and I slept soundly Familiar—John came to my rescue, got hit by a brick, and was badly burned, and he wasn't awake when I got here. If he had been, he would never have..."

"I will never come to save you." Aaron pushed his glasses, looking a little cold.Laura froze for a moment, then nodded: "That's right. I came to you because I wanted you to treat his illness. If it really can't be saved, give him an injection of Morpus and make him go more comfortably. Don't lie , I know that you gave those goods to the church."

Aaron crossed his legs, put his hands on his thighs, and leaned back.Mikhail did not forget to put some cushions on the car, the cotton inside was last year's new product.

He raised his hand and caressed Mikhail’s moonstone collar pin cast in platinum at one time. The accessories on his black suit were a set of platinum and moonstone. Only a white rose was inserted on his chest. It has a faint luster of moonstone.

He said, "Do you want me to transform him? Then you will never be able to resist him."

Laura raised her head, her eyes looked extraordinarily cold under the veil:

"No, you transform me, and I will save him. I want him to be my family member!"

Sergio was smoking a cigarette, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his head:

"Then you can also save Marguerite...if she is still alive. By the way, by the way, do you know, don't you know that Jeanne was also taken away?"

"what?"

"Besides her, there are twelve prostitutes. In the slums, near the Tata Hotel, a short man and Stanley came to catch him. The short man is a saint who has never seen it. They called him..."

"Priest Gray." Mikhail's voice came clearly.

Aaron's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he subconsciously wanted to grab something, and finally grabbed the cane.He knew what it meant, the twelve prostitutes and Marguerite had all been aborted by him.He wasn't the only doctor in Yaranburg who practiced this dark business, but he was the only vampire.

"Do they only have the guts to attack women and children?" He gritted his teeth and sneered ferociously. "Why don't you check the clergy who came to the clinic privately to ask for Morpheus? Ah, then they will find out that the entire parish even Not a single collie left!"

Mikhail comforted him softly: "Aaron."

"...where are they?" Aaron asked.

Looking out of the window, the city walls of Yaranburg can already be seen.

Sergio said, "I don't know. When I came down from the monastery, they were still... on the Avenue of Friendship."

Mikhail said: "Priest Gray prefers the Cathedral of Victory, which is the center of the city; Stanley will go to the Cathedral of the Flowers, he can't stand it - the stale air. If the new saint you just said is Gray Priest, then he should listen to Stanley. Let's go to the Hundred Flowers Church."

The two humans did not speak again.No matter how angry and expectant Sergio Martin came, trying to question Mikhail and ask for his help, when he actually saw the other party and heard the voice, he was trembling and dared not speak.It's just that Laura looked resolute and kept looking at Aaron. It was obvious that Aaron would not transform her today, and she would not leave.

There was still some distance from the Hundred Flowers Church, Aaron said, "Laura."

"Transform me." That's all she said.

"You don't understand, even if I am willing to transform you, you may not be able to survive."

"You made it through, didn't you?" the woman asked back.

"I'm the first." Aaron's voice sounded even hoarse.

"Wouldn't that be better?" Laura sounded a chuckle, just a little weak because of exhaustion, "As the ancestor, there should always be better control."

"The last one who was successfully transformed was Tristan Hardy. The last one was Ashley Dubois. I think, as a port city and a hub of foreign trade, the honorary citizens of Yaranburg should know these two. You guys You don't want to walk out of the church, but become brothers and sisters with this kind of person?"

Sergio's expression changed again, from panic and bewilderment to panic.Laura said, "I don't mind. I'll go through with it and have John be my dog ​​for the rest of my life."

"I don't think that's a good idea, Laura," Aaron said softly.

Suddenly Laura leaned forward and said, "I'm going to torture him forever. Just like the Church still tortures you, Dr. Edwards. I've always wondered why no one suspects you? You're a vampire, Well, that's the logical answer, I've never seen anyone look at the cross like that and you still love him. Convert me Aaron, we're not the same kind of people, but we are the same kind of people .I'll give you what you want."

"What do you want to give me?" Aaron sneered, but soon lost his laugh, and turned his head away, "Help me kill a few bishops, or switch to medicine, or pull an army into Lieyang City ? The last one is useless, Mikhail is here, he is worth a Quds army."

"I am the head of the Quds Force. At present, there is no news of resignation in the newspapers, so this is contradictory, Aaron." Mikhail said.

"You still have the mood to joke."

Mikhail pursed his lips, and seemed to be in a good mood, even though there were a few girls in front who were being tortured, they might die before they arrived.No, not really:

"Stanley didn't behave like that. He taught me by seeing me, threatening me, and then killing me."

Sergio moved his lips to tell him about the dead whore.Aaron gestured to stop him, turned his head sideways, knocked on the wall of the carriage, and said, "But, Mikhail, do you really think that Stanley treats prostitutes as human beings? Does he really treat women as human beings? A word—do you think whores are human?"

Mikhail turned his head abruptly.He knew that half of Aaron's face was pressed against the car, perhaps looking at him.

"Aaron." Finally, Mikhail patted Emile's hind legs, motioned her to run faster, and said sadly, "Even we are human."

Aaron's eyes suddenly brightened, as if he no longer bothered about the dead.

He twirled his cane twice, and said, "You're right, Mishenka.—Laura, I'll see if I can save John after this matter is settled. Don't take any chances, and you can You see, people like us are worse than whores! Now, Mishenka, you go to Stanley, and Grey gives it to me—I still remember the punch he gave me at Chalek!"

"Mr. Martin went to find Mrs. Martin and Mr. de Perrin." Mikhail said, "Morpus—is that the medicine that night? The monastery outside is not high-ranking. You tell them that Stanley and Priest Gray are traitors." , Mikhail Kupala came to sanction them, well, that’s it, we will kill them, so it’s not a lie. You can use Morpheus to threaten the people in the monastery in private, you know? Margaret ..."

"If she wants to live, or if Battista de Perrin doesn't give up on her, then I will transform her." Aaron said, "I'm sorry, Mikhail, my lord, I didn't touch her head Magic that brings people back from the dead."

"Me neither." Mikhail shrugged and stood up on the running carriage.

"It's not fair," Laura muttered, gripping the door tightly.Sergio didn't react, Aaron had already stood up in the galloping carriage, opened the door and walked outside, then closed the door gently.

Then, the two figures suddenly disappeared, and the entire carriage was lightened.Emile and the two mortals flew towards the monastery, and Aaron and Mikhail stepped onto the stone bridge leading to the Cathedral of Flowers one after the other.

It was here that Aaron had discussed Margaret with Sergio Martin a few months earlier.

Priest Grey was standing on the railing, the setting sun slowly sinking behind him, dyed his gray clothes with a warm and dark orange red, and made his thick-heeled lace-up shoes as dark as congealed blood clots .

"Good evening, Your Highness Kupala. Maybe we can discuss it." He saluted and said.

Mikhail unloaded the "Prayer of Chastity" from his back and said, "I have nothing to discuss with you."

"That's cruel, Your Highness. As if we were the only ones who did the wrong thing. Are you purer than us?"

"Of course." Aaron stepped forward, stood in front of Mikhail, and raised his chin arrogantly, "As the Archbishop of Iris, I think you should understand the meaning of baptism—God's forgiveness. Your baptized It's much earlier than Misha."

"It's not too early, Stanley is very early, and I'm still young." Priest Gray touched his round face and said seriously.

"It's too early," Aaron said seriously. "Misha was baptized this year, oh no, last Christmas, and now she's as pure as a baby."

"Oh my God." Priest Gray fussed, "You also killed people because the priest in the monastery was a child lover. Look at what you said, you abducted a baby."

Mikhail blushed, not knowing whether he was shy or angry.

Aaron was also choked, so he could only say, "Mikhail, you go first."

"I also agree." Priest Gray smiled sweetly, "You are a righteous man, Dr. Edwards. I dare not face the two of you at the same time. Let Your Highness be left to Stanley."

Mikhail nodded, holding the long sword in his hand, and strode across the stone bridge.
