Angel on earth

"Besides your mess, I will tie you behind the horse and drag you." Beto Ferdi wrinkled his nose, took a sip of water, and said disgustedly, "This is how you should deal with monsters. You won't die anyway."

Arnold's face was pale, and he grinned at him, revealing two fangs, and his two green eyes gradually turned red during the journey, and the intersection of the colors was as black as rotten flesh, and the whites of the eyes that were covered with bloodshot eyes were the maggots born inside .

Without looking back, Mikhail replied: "What if he runs away?"

"Turn him around, face up," Beto yelled, "it's a nice day today, so it's kind of helpful. ——What did you hear him say!"

Arnold shouted hoarsely: "I didn't see it, I smelled it. If you don't drink blood, can you pick some edible flowers and herbs for me? Rollins believes that I have something to do with your most wanted criminal." If you are implicated, don’t even think about starving me to death! By the way, I have to prove that we are together before I die, and you deliberately kill people to silence them!”

Beto Feidi's armor was hanging on the horse's back. At this moment, he rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his arms, shouting: "Then you drink it? I don't want to owe you a favor!"

"Bah!" Arnold struggled in the rope and cursed, "Bedbug! You smell worse than Lord Ethan Hill, I can smell it without seeing blood!"

Ethan, who was implicated innocently, raised the kettle to drink water again.

"...he's already blind." Mikhail sighed after drinking the water, "Even if you are an enemy, you shouldn't use such disgraceful methods to torture your opponent."

"I'm not blind!" Arnold exclaimed angrily.

The team headed west, preparing to return to Canaan by boat at the glorious port of Potosi.It was already noon on the third day, and the three knights had finished resting by the stream and were about to mount their horses.Arnold had been wrapped up in a shroud and tied to Emile's back, and he was rarely released today. He had two quarrels with Beto Ferdi and actually provoked him.

Mikhail stared at him for a while, and said nothing, which made him shudder.Beto and Ethan were also a little strange. They only felt that Mikhail was different from their former young playmates, but they didn't care too much.

It's a cloudy day.The ghost knows why it was cloudy all the way. The two knights complained for a few days, but they didn't bother Mikhail to turn on the sun. After all, such great power should not be used for such trivial matters.Arnold didn't even want to bask in the sun. From their point of view, this guy must feel uncomfortable bumping in the shroud and pretend to be fearless; even, maybe this vampire knows some secrets about the Templars, For example, the consequences of borrowing too much power.

But Mikhail agreed to let him go.He hung the lance and long sword on both sides of Emile, and after getting on the horse, tied himself and Arnold back to back, and ordered to go.

Beto wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ethan.The latter sighed: "You should save some energy. Didn't Mikhail walk so slowly to wait for us? It doesn't matter if he doesn't rest, let alone stay with that vampire for so long."

Beto muttered a few words, got on his horse, and the group continued to head towards the port of glory.

Arnold, who had been lying on his horse for three days, got a chance to let the wind blow for the first time today. Mikhail was unexpectedly easy to talk, and without thinking too much, he turned his head happily and began to poke the silly boy's lung tube: "De Neel's father was beaten to death by Skultu's men. Did you know that?"

Mikhail jerked the reins and stopped Emile; Arnold yelled, fortunately he was tied to Mikhail, otherwise he would have fallen.

Mikhail rode his horse majestically and turned around, looking at Ethan Hill and Beto Ferdi.

The two reined in the horse and looked at each other.Ethan said: "I know that there are people in the lower district who are instigating riots - it seems that in order to meet the upcoming National Day of Potosi, the city hall asked workers to work longer hours, and that person encouraged other workers not to work. When the mayor went to teach people , the subordinates lost their hands. The city hall also compensated a bag of silver."

Beto shrugged, spread his palms and added: "Isn't his son your apprentice, Dr. Edwards? It's also thanks to you. If Alexey Stepanovich's mother hadn't reported it, the city hall would have It’s really impossible to find that slut.”

This time it was Arnold's turn to widen his eyes, struggling to turn around, and asked hoarsely, "...What did you say?"

Beto said: "You used His Highness's kindness to deceive him, but I don't have that much kindness. It's because you have healed me that you didn't follow me to beat up that kid. Do you still want to question me? Your Highness Pala, is this inappropriate?"

Arnold shouted: "You just see him as a bully! There are too many people in the city who have contacts with me, why don't you burn down the monastery? People like you just like to bully the poor!"

Mikhail looked down at his two knights with a blank expression: "Why don't you save them?"

Beto was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"Beto." Mikhail frowned and accused, "What did Arnold Edwards do, what has it to do with that boy and his father? You shouldn't blame him. Even the worst villains are punished." We should stand up for the unfair trial, let alone bear false witness."

"I didn't bear false witness..." Beto muttered, and Ethan reversed the spear and stabbed him.The two stared wide-eyed and didn't hear a sound for a long time. When they looked up at Mikhail, his face flushed with anger, and Arnold Edwards hummed twice.

"After returning to the holy city, both of you go to the confinement room to reflect. Especially you, Beto Feidi. If you don't correct yourself, you don't have to follow me in the future." After hesitating, Mikhail insisted Said, "There is no place for you in the temple!"

"Sorry, Your Highness."

There was a faint thunder in the clouds, and Arnold suddenly restrained his smile.With his back to Mikhail, no one knew what he was going to do again.

Ethan touched his arms, raised his head empty-handed:

"Sorry, Your Highness, I have a message to report on this matter. It was received at the church last night: Catherine Lvovna Chicherin of Chalek is missing. I thought there was no need to report, but if De Niel is indeed a servant of the vampire, I think we should go back and rescue Miss Chicherin, at least Beto and I should go back."

Beto couldn't help but said, "Why is it her again?"

Arnold turned his head and yelled almost into Mikhail's ear: "Denier won't take her away, wait until you send her to the monastery? Don't pretend to mourn, your priests are such moths themselves Don't you have any points in your heart? Maybe you have 'hunted' together!"

"What did you say?!"

"Is it okay for the two of them to go on the road alone?" Mikhail turned his face slightly.

"Of course!" Arnold replied quite proudly, his hoarse voice raised an octave, and when he raised his head, he bumped into Mikhail's head, "I left money, enough for them to escape. De Neil is very skilled. Both he and Catherine are talented doctors. They are not deceitful things like alchemists, but real knowledge. Of course, they are still young and need some experience, which is enough for them to make a living in Potosi , if you are hard-hearted, you can play tricks. I never thought that after so many years, people here can't even cure a fever!"

Mikhail said calmly: "That's all right."

"...Your Highness!" Beto roared, "That may be one vampire, or even two! We have to catch up!"

"Fart!" Arnold turned the subject and yelled, "Do you think anyone can become a vampire? It's really that easy. Vasily has already been bitten into a meat paste, and I will expose it?! Fuck you, I Seeing that you and Skurtu are in the same group, in order to convict others and justify yourself by any means, you are worthy of being the Templars of Lieyang City!"

"...I acquiesced. When they left, I held Priest Grey back." Mikhail lowered his head and drew a sun cross on his chest, "May the Father God punish me. But, I will never Denier is too young to hurt a 12-year-old girl like that."

Arnold was stunned.The two accompanying knights couldn't believe that this was done by Mikhail Kupala.So no one spoke for a while, Mikhail moved his knee, and Emile turned around, leading the team to continue westward.

After a while, Arnold suddenly raised the tip of his nose, sniffing here and there in the howling wind.Beto couldn't help but said, "Are you a dog? What do you smell?"

Arnold opened his eyes and rolled his eyes stiffly: "If I can see clearly, why should I smell?"

"Can vampires still be short-sighted?" Ethan Hill was a little interested in this, and caught up with Emile from the other side, and was about to make some comments, but Mikhail's ungentle "shut up" didn't stop. Before he had time to escape his throat, two arrows galloped from behind!

Mikhail nimbly reached out to catch the arrow on the left that was aimed at Ethan, but the other one was heading towards Arnold. The latter opened his mouth and bit off the body of the arrow, and the silver arrow still pierced through his body under inertia. Back of the head!

The smell of burnt flesh was left behind by the rushing wind.Mikhail snapped off the chain and pulled Arnold sideways to him. The vampire hurriedly covered his head with his hand to prevent the precious blood from flowing out—he didn't expect to drink Mikhail's blood along the way. In this way, self-repair will become an extremely difficult task, so it is better not to waste it.

Arrows, spears and spears poured down like a storm, and the roar of evil spirits and surging magic power accompanied by the rain of arrows at a strange speed, screamed in the towering coniferous forest.Mikhail raised his cloak to cover Arnold, let out a clear roar, and then the clouds split open, and the sunlight in the late summer afternoon flooded into the woods like a flood.

Beto grabbed the shield tightly and cursed, "Someone really wants to kill you!"

The gust of wind blew his voice into pieces. Arnold, who was lying in front of him, listened and didn't refute. He shrank his hands and feet and pulled Mikhail's cloak to block himself.Mikhail slapped him anxiously on the buttocks, without thinking too much, and said, "Are you still pretending at this time? Come out!"

Note: The era of this article does not exactly correspond to the Middle Ages/Industrial Revolution, alchemists were often doctors in the Middle Ages

Usually when Catherine is mentioned, the father’s name is omitted mainly to reflect the cultural environment of Potosi. For example, Chicherin’s family tends to the church side, with a common name + surname; but Alexei’s family is more traditional, biased towards federal people, with first name + father Dr. Carter is a complete stranger.Similarly, although Mikhail is a hairy boy (?), because he grew up in the church, he generally does not mention his father's name (Ivanovich), and as a saint, he does not have a surname.
