Ring

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.Like all the onlookers, Savannah stared nervously ahead, and she could vaguely recognize the figure of the other party.

—Still standing?

Those around her were obviously as surprised as she was.Edgar folded his hands on his chest unconsciously, and stared at Wei Shenzhi's direction intently.

Wei Shen held a talisman in one hand, and held a long sword across his chest in the other.The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the man with black hair and black eyes slowly raised his head, and gently put down the long sword in his hand.

All the onlookers suddenly burst into exclamation—although he was still standing upright, the clothes all over his body had been torn into rags hanging on his body by the thorns transformed by the dark force.Savannah is the trusted subordinate of Chief Klan, so her attack power should not be underestimated.But on the light honey-colored skin exposed in the air, each knife is a slender wound.

Even a body transformed by the art of life and death is not invulnerable.It is undeniable that Wei Shenzhi was indeed scared when the black thorns and mist enveloped him, but it was only for a moment.In the past few years, both his grandmother Wei Siyun and his lover Edgar have taught him the ability to face danger without fear.In the nick of time, he quickly formed a seal, and with his own strength, he offset the opponent's almost overwhelming oppression.

"Careful!"

Edgar took a step forward worriedly, but Wei Shenzhi suddenly stretched out his arm, signaling him not to worry.There was a tingling feeling on the side of his face, and the left hand that was not holding the sword lightly stroked his cheek, which was stained with bright red blood.Wei Shenzhi flicked the blood from his fingertips, and smiled approvingly at Savannah who was standing in front of him.

"The ancient European black magic really deserves its reputation."

The praised woman also showed a sincere smile: "Few people can last so long under my spell. You are an excellent warlock."

"Thank you for your appreciation." Wei Shenzhi turned the handle of the knife, but suddenly showed a "calculating" smile, "Miss Hester, since I can't beat you in a short time, please don't blame me This is the worst plan." After finishing speaking, the long sword in his right hand waved a sharp arc in the air, and at the same time, the Taoist master suddenly raised his left arm, stretching his five fingers to the sky——

"Masamune Candle Slash, Michizane An Gong!"

A swift gust of wind swept past, causing everyone present to stretch out their hands to cover their cheeks.

Kelan, who was standing behind nervously watching the situation, seemed to sense something, drew the dagger from his waist, and subconsciously blocked it in front of him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two familiars in Japanese costumes responding to the Taoist's call and appearing beside him.Without any orders, the cold-eyed swordsman quickly took Wei Shenzhi's place, and fought with the Western woman holding a saber.Beside him, the young man in a tall hat pulled up the carved bow, and the arrows formed by the condensed spiritual power were like a gust of wind and rain, instantly blocking all of Savannah's escape routes, forcing her to retreat steadily. , struggling!

However, this is not the most terrible.

He watched in astonishment as the swordsmen who summoned the two familiars flashed in front of him like a bolt of lightning.Humans do not have the superb healing ability of the blood race, so as he moves at high speed, the blood seeping from the uncoagulated wound on his body drips on his face, carrying the warm human body temperature.

Almost in an instant, the silver long sword lay across his neck.The oriental warlock with disheveled hair stopped beside him with a sneering smile, and then suddenly stretched out his hand to grab his throat, and the sharp sword that could kill the blood race had already painted a bright red color on his neck. mark.

The instinctive fear of silverware made Kelan tremble all over. However, he has lived in the world for many years, and he has seen the world, and his legs will not weaken because of the other party holding the silverware against his neck.Just as he was thinking about how to escape from the hands of the oriental magician, the woman's cry of pain not far away caught his attention.Crane immediately raised his head and looked in the direction of Savannah, only to see that her hands were tied behind her back by the swordsman, and two of the three arrows made of condensed light hit her left and right legs respectively. , and the other team made a three-pointer from the center!

"Miss Savannah." Wei Shenzhi pinched Ke Lan's life, and showed a very apologetic smile to the disheveled woman, "I enjoyed fighting with you, but my main purpose is to replace Ed I have no choice but to take revenge. If you are willing to forgive me for my despicable tricks, I hope we can choose another time to compete openly."

Savannah looked at him for a while, and suddenly let out a breath of frustration: "No need, Mr. Wei. Your familiar is also part of your mana, and I failed. In this case, I am willing to make the agreement before the trip." —Dedicate your loyalty to Lord Flanders. Anyway... Klan is nothing but a puppet."

When she uttered the word "puppet", Wei Shenzhi clearly felt that the person whose neck he held with a sword trembled up and down. He didn't know whether it was because he was disturbed by being exposed in public or because he was angry.After signaling Masamune Tokuzane and Dozen Anyu to release Savannah, Wei Shenzhi said to Edgar: "Now, it's up to you to decide what to do."

Edgar looked at the wounds all over his body worriedly: "Are you okay?"

"Don't worry about me. Compared to this, your old enemy is at your disposal."

........................

A farce-like fight and "coup" ended like this.When Edgar took the long sword from Wei Shenzhi's hand and plunged the silver blade into the heart of Chief Constable, Wei Shenzhi felt a big sigh of relief—after all, the most important thing was done.However, the seriously injured body could hardly stand still after relaxing.Edgar originally wanted to go up to help him immediately, but he didn't know that the two Fusangshen that Jiang Zeyue handed over to him were so loyal.When they saw their master was on the verge of falling, the two rushed to support Wei Shenzhi's figure from left to right before Edgar, and Edgar couldn't intervene.

Although Lord Flanders, the former president of the Western Network and about to become the head of the Bathory family, was upset, he couldn't be jealous of Wei Shenzhi's shikigami in front of the whole family, so he had to let Della communicate with them instead. Watching them carefully help Wei Shenzhi to rest from left to right, while he himself has other things to do.

To be honest, he could understand why those women in the clan chose the chief executive as the temporary head of the family.After all, except for himself, the direct descendants of the Bathory family no longer exist, so there is no legitimate heir at all.And those powerful women in the clan are very strong, and they are not willing to hand over the position of Patriarch at all, so everyone can only take a step back to reach a consensus, and get a person who is not strong enough to be the puppet leader.

Although Iska, Luisa, and Savannah seemed to be loyal to Crane, they didn't take him seriously in their hearts.Only this chief executive, who has been brainwashed by power, will deliberately want to climb up, even if he knows that he is being used by these women, he will not hesitate.

After Wei Shenzhi subdued Kelan for himself, no one in the clan seemed to have any objection to his succession as the head of the family.Even people who knew the whole story of themselves and Victoria, such as Iska, did not express any dissatisfaction.After Wei Shenzhi was taken away for treatment, he briefly said something to the people in the clan, during which he noticed that the way Iska looked at him was completely different from when he was in Budapest a few days ago.Edgar claimed to be good at guessing people's hearts, but Wei Shenzhi was right, Iska's thinking was a little abnormal, so Edgar didn't know what she was thinking at all.

—but that doesn't matter anymore.In fact, the thoughts of those women in the clan have nothing to do with him.He didn't come back to Bathory's house to accept their affection.All he needs to do is to take over from Victoria's family and fulfill her unfulfilled obligations for this ex-wife who left him, but also gave him a second life on the scorched earth of the war.

After dealing with a series of things, Edgar returned to the residence he hadn't been back to for decades, and he was only emotional.So many years have passed, but the place where he lives still hasn't changed in any way, even the decorations on the table are all consistent with his gradually blurred memory.

He stood in front of the table, staring at the furnishings in the house for an unknown amount of time.Until there was movement on the big bed behind him, the lover's hoarse voice came from behind him: "Edgar, what are you looking at?"

When Wei Shenzhi said this, he was trying to prop up his body, trying to sit up.Although the wounds on his body have been healed by spells, the minor wounds still remain.What's more, the sequelae of a great battle is exhaustion, which no one can avoid.

"You worked so hard before, but now you know it hurts?" Edgar answered him "ungratefully", but he still came to the bed immediately and helped him sit up.Thinking of his previous behavior in front of everyone, Edgar himself broke out in a cold sweat.God knows, his heart was in his throat at that time, he was afraid that Wei Shenzhi would make some mistakes!

"Isn't that for you?" Wei Shenzhi sighed, and at the same time, his eyes fell on the other party's black gloves.Edgar has already changed the costumes of human society, put on a black cloak, and put on gilt decorations.A pocket watch inlaid with mithril pulled a slender thread from his chest pocket and hung on his cloak. This attire was very much like the vampire count in those film and television works.

However, for Wei Shenzhi, Edgar's clothes can only remind him of the almost lively scene of that night.At that time, the other party was half undressed and his eyes were blurred.The earl of the blood clan held his arm, gasped and exhaled in his ear, and frowned because he couldn't bear it.

"Edgar, your clothes..."

"What? You don't like it?"

"No, it looks like a sex suit to me."

"..." Edgar looked at him blankly, grabbed his wrist with his backhand, pulled it up and fixed it on top of the opponent's head: "Since it's a sexy suit, let's let it play the role of a sexy suit .”

Wei Shenzhi raised his eyebrows.Under his gaze, Edgar bit off the black gloves, gently stroked Wei Shenzhi's cheek with his slender white fingertips, and whispered close to his ear: "Speaking of which, Savannah kissed you here today." Bar?"

Wei Shenzhi's eyes flickered.However, the words of protest turned into low gasps in the next instant—the heir of the Bathory family had stuck out his tongue at some point, and the dexterous tip of his tongue slid gently on the man's carotid artery, leaving a trace water stains.

"Edgar, that's just—"

"Okay, then let's talk about other things." The other party took his words graciously, "Then let's talk about your two shikigami. They are loyal to you, even helping you So timely."

"..."

"And Louisa. If you don't change your pity for little girls, I will be very troubled."

Edgar accused him of "derailment" word by word, a conniving smile appeared on the face of the black-haired man, but it was fleeting.With his hands shrunk and imprisoned by Edgar, he could only raise his face with all his strength, his narrow peach eyes were half tender, and he stared at the people who were close to him:

"Since Earl Bathory is so dissatisfied, I can only dedicate myself to it, hoping to appease your anger."

In the flickering candlelight, his face looked romantic and alluring.

"Please use it, my lord count. Tonight... I am yours."
