A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

Nobles, or vampires, shouldn't have such heavy footsteps... But this man's injuries are too serious.

He has been clutching his chest since he appeared, and there is even a line of blood from top to bottom on the top of his head that is healing; under the light of the silver cross, the powerful self-healing ability of the body as a nobleman seems to have been terminated, As a result, blood continued to ooze from the wound, and his limbs lost strength, so he could only stretch out his hand in Charlotte's direction.

"Master Meyer!"

Charlotte didn't care much, but ran towards her lover, hugged him who was in tatters, knelt down and cried.

It was obviously such a good thing, why did it become unlucky?

Is it because one is noble and the other is human?

Jacob turned to look at D.

D nodded, it can be trusted... Meyer Link is indeed harmless, his love is true, and he has proved this countless times.

Even if he was injured to this degree, he was not controlled by bloodthirsty desire, but clenched his teeth tightly, rubbing Charlotte's soft and smooth long hair with his temples nostalgicly.

I don't know who he was injured by, it is probably Camila who created illusions for everyone.Just looking at him like this, I'm afraid it's impossible to take any further actions.

The silver cross standing in the middle of the hall was simply a reminder for a purebred vampire like him.

Pastor Jacob didn't mean to hurt him further, but just sighed.

At the same time, D had already drawn the knife behind his back, and stood at the door of the room opposite to the center of the hall with chains wrapped around the handle.

"Do you need help?" Boss Xue asked.

"...if I can't get out." D replied, the long knife in his hand was lifted up, and the iron chain tied to the doorknob fell to the ground with a clatter.

He lowered his head, opened the door, and walked in.

Leila, who was sitting there, seemed to be curious about the identities of these people who appeared suddenly, and asked Amelia, who was bandaging her, "Are you his friends?"

"Should it be? He never said it, but since he can ask us for help when he is in trouble, he probably regards us as friends."

Amelia answered after fastening the bandages on her hands, clapping her hands and standing up.

Max curled his lips: "Or as a group of people who are worth taking advantage of."

"Don't make sarcastic remarks..." Boss Xue turned his head and said to his two employees, "Don't you both see clearly what kind of person he is. But the young couple over there seems to be on the verge of dying what."

Meyer, who was holding Charlotte, already felt a sense of powerlessness. His injuries were too serious. After all, he was split in half from head to toe by the phantom vampire hunter not long ago.

The moment he fell, he already knew it was an illusion, because a half-breed, half-vampire wouldn't turn into a swarm of bats and fly off his head, and more importantly, his lover wouldn't throw himself into another embrace.

At this last moment, he has no regrets about the imminent end of his eternal life, but is disappointed that he dared to doubt Charlotte's love for him, and was really affected by that illusion, allowing jealousy and anger to control him.

"Sorry, Charlotte."

He closed his eyes.

A tear of blood oozed from the side of the long eyelashes, condensed, and finally dripped down his sculptural face.

He can no longer accompany his lover to the homeland deep in the star sea, because his fate has reached the end at this moment.Normally, he would be extremely joyful, and feel grateful that his life can end; but now, he began to hate the arrival of this moment.

Jacob has been watching what's going on here.

In this world, he reorganized his beliefs and believed that God's love for the world should be equal; the reason why vampires are rejected by God and classified into hell is because they obviously rely on the exploitation of human vitality to maintain eternal life.

Therefore, he needs to spread the teachings he understands among mankind and let them know why they should believe in God...not just to go to heaven on the Judgment Day, but also to take practical actions in reality and practice God's principle of equality for all things. Love.

Religion should be participatory, not detached.

The question then is... can a vampire who has not been transformed of her own will and has not sucked blood be considered an exploiter?Is it worth saving?

On this question, he intends to turn to his conscience.

Of course there are people in the world who hold back because "it's not in my personal interest", but there are also people who take action because "it's the right thing to do."

As a pastor, he should be the latter.

Chapter 33 Cutting the Void

The moment he opened the door, D seemed to walk into a thick fog.

He knew in his heart that this must be another illusion created by Countess Camilla... As a vampire nailed in a coffin by a sword, her evil existence cannot attack anyone through direct contact, so of course it can only be created by magic Illusion, do little tricks or something.

However, even the out-of-body spirit body can have a real body and can absorb blood from others, which is enough to show how terrifying the Blood Countess is.

Amidst the mist, a beautiful woman in a long red dress with white jade-like skin was reclining on a sofa chair, playing with the tassels hanging from the back of the chair.

"It's you who came in here... Vampire hunter, D." She sighed, turned her eyes to D's side, and said sarcastically, "Even such a sad scene remains unmoved, and I cut it down with a knife. Should I say I underestimated you, half-breed?"

Following her words, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, the thick fog turned into scattered clouds, and the sky above suddenly became gloomy. Accompanied by the violent wind blowing from the front, a bolt of lightning also suddenly appeared in the void, directly It fell on D's body.

D, who was struck by lightning, felt severe pain all over his body, and fell to his knees on the ground involuntarily.

He thought it was also a vision of the Countess, just like the one he had seen before, looking at his mother sadly in the pool of blood; but although it was not like the usual lightning, the energy was real, with a huge The destructive force passed through his body, causing his nervous system to send an overwhelmed alarm to the central nervous system. Every muscle in his body trembled in pain, and he couldn't move for a while.

"Hmph. Are you a hunter who has half the blood of nobles, are you so determined to be a lackey of human beings? We are higher-level creatures than humans. Just like livestock eat grass and humans eat livestock, nobles prey on humans and only It's just a normal part of the natural food chain."

Camilla said.

But D raised his head, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "It's also like... the priest outside the door exorcising your spirit body... Heh..."

Camilla's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at the mixed race fearfully: "What are you talking about, did you find those people too, in order to completely destroy me? Just rely on them?"

The man in front of him resisted the destruction of the body by that energy, his eyes were full of blood red light, his canine teeth were completely exposed, and he roared angrily at her: "They...have... hurt you!...Don't think that You are superior to humans, and you should accept the dregs eliminated by the times!"

If anyone outside the door saw him like this, they probably wouldn't believe it.

Does that vampire hunter, who has always maintained a cold attitude, still have such an emotional moment?What did the other party say that offended him?

The countess just sneered: "...It's really speechless, D. We are immortal and destined to be the rulers. Human life is so short, and their achievements are destined to be limited. No matter how great scientists and artists are, Even the promoters of civilization, they will eventually pass away, and sometimes even the things they created cannot be left behind; only we, our abilities, and our creations can accumulate over a long period of time, and we are the world Creator!"

D also responded with the same sneer: "...and that's it, the aircraft in outer space were abandoned, the night capital became ruins, the ancient blood race lost the desire to live, indulged in illusory fun, and stopped advancing Footsteps. Those human beings you look down on have been struggling to survive, even if civilization retreats, they will never give up the possibility of moving forward again!"

"That's right. You are more inclined to the human side... The immortality of our nobles, in your opinion, is the source of destruction. Even if you share this kind of eternity..."

"My generation is a short-lived passer-by on the stage of history. Where there is prosperity, there will be decline. This is the law of natural development."

The conversation between the two was still going on, but finally, under Camilla's shocked eyes, D actually resisted the lightning rushing in his body, and slowly stood up with his body supported.

Facing the front, he continued: "...There is no need to argue to decide, just use the sword in your hand to prove..."

Saying this, D raised his head, opened his blood-colored eyes, and the sound of the beating heart in his chest was so loud that it was clearly audible even in this illusory space.

From his heart, a wave of black energy surged out, quickly shattering the lightning around his body, spreading towards the surrounding sea of ​​clouds and mist, swallowing everything in his field of vision.

Camilla looked at everything in front of her in shock. All the magic attacks she could make suddenly failed, and they didn't even materialize.

In the pure darkness, D, who had regained her ability to move, flew towards her like a black falcon, piercing her heart with a knife.

The illusion was suddenly shattered, and the countess' spirit body appeared, and the white shadow flickered for no reason, and was on the verge of completely collapsing.

In the resplendent and resplendent room that returned to normal, the tip of D's knife hangs down.

He stood still and raised his left hand towards the white shadow.

"...How is it possible that you actually have such power, could it be, could it be him..." Camila's spirit body that turned into mist sighed.

The left hand has opened its mouth wide, and the huge suction force has rolled up a storm vortex in the air, and the remaining trace of white mist is also being pulled towards the bottomless abyss in that weird mouth.

"...If one day you can't stand that bloodthirsty desire and become what you are hunting now, then what will happen..."

Before being swallowed, Camilla barely spoke.

After clenching his left hand again, the airflow calmed down, and everything returned to silence, D coldly dropped his answer: "At that time, let others hunt and kill me."

In the depths of the room, in the metal coffin, the body of the countess, which was just a withered corpse, had turned to ashes.The coffin itself, along with the steps below, and the ground cracked open, and the blood-red castle began to collapse piece by piece from the outside. Large groups of frightened bats flew out from the shadow of the castle, heading towards the surrounding forest. up.

As the coffin cracked, there was a "dang" sound and the sound of metal hitting.

D stepped forward and picked up a golden sword from the pile of ashes.

The guard of the sword was carved with patterns like flower vines, and it was only seen when it was taken close that it was a dragon entrenched between the body and the hilt.

The dragon's head opened slightly towards the blade, and the ruby ​​eyes gleamed ominously.

In other words, this is the sword of the Vampire King.

There is no point in leaving it here, because the monster it was supposed to seal has completely disappeared from this world.

D picked up the sword, looked up at the ceiling where cracks were appearing and spreading, turned back and shook his cloak, and walked back towards the door.

Maybe the Countess Camilla is the castle itself. With her complete death, Seyit City is also gradually being destroyed...

After thousands of years, no matter how strong the city is, it should have been returned to the earth without care, but Seyit is not.

Probably, the countess has been using the power of magic to maintain its form... After the power of magic disappeared, what it owed for a long time was finally found.

When he walked out of the room, Xue Li and others were also squatting under the cross, waiting for him.

"……Solve it?"

"It's over... When I return to Elbon Manor with the results, I can set off to the other side of the world."

Hearing D's workaholic answer, Boss Xue could only smile and shake his head.

"You never take a break? Do you want to take up some other hobbies, like drinking a few drinks in the pub, chatting with other people or something?"

D hummed noncommittally, then turned his head and walked towards Meyer and Charlotte.

Leila, who had been silent at the side, couldn't help but said, "You don't want to take her back, do you?"

The cold hunter didn't answer, but just came to the couple's side and stared at Meyer who fell to the ground.

The old pastor Jacob was also kneeling on one knee. He didn't intend to participate in the conversation between the few people. He just closed his eyes, folded his hands, and muttered something in his mouth.

This particular nobleman was still alive, and the wounds on his body were no longer bleeding.But obviously he couldn't say anything, he just opened his eyes and stared fixedly at D's face protruding from under the brim of his hat.

"...I won't go back."

Charlotte also looked up at D, repeating her opinion like this.

"...That's why you came here." D lightly raised his hand, pointing to the spaceship outside the window on the other side: "The Nightless City has long since been abandoned, not only has no residents, but even a survivable environment no longer exist.”

This kind of thing should be known to everyone in the circle of nobles... Only young nobles like Meyer Link, who have not communicated with other members of the same race, don't know about it.

After the era of aristocratic rule ended, the night capital gradually lost its energy supply and personnel maintenance.

Nothing can escape the erosion of time, even the capital of night located deep in the sea of ​​stars... The special coating that shields cosmic rays should be the first to fail, followed by the building structure itself that maintains its shape.

The remaining nobles who lived there had already fled back in spaceships, and only a few citizens who had long wanted to give up their lives stayed there, sending the last video record for the earth before it collapsed.

Meyer, who had lost his dream, stared at D, his canine teeth protruding ferociously, and exhausted his last strength to ask in disbelief: "You... say... what?..."

There was only a knife light to greet him.

Charlotte's eyes widened in fear, but neither of them had any injuries.

It's just that a strand of hair on her head was cut off and fell gently into D's hands.

"In this way, the identity can be confirmed. Go wherever you want, just don't appear in front of the people of the Erbon family again, because... Baron Meyer Link and his human lover have died in the city of Seyit .”

He said, "2000 million, really easy job."

"Hey, why did that local rich man only pay us 1000 million yuan?" Leila who followed her finally felt relieved and complained beside him.

Chapter 34 Deep in the Rainforest

I don't know whether it was decided to live in harmony with nature from the beginning, or was gradually eroded by nature in the later uninhabited years... Most of the remains of Mayan civilization seen today are hidden in the depths of the rainforest.

[104. No. 104]

Without the involvement of any man-made structures, the lush rainforest itself is a beautiful and beautiful green paradise.

There are rich and diverse species in the rainforest, and because of its rich resources and complex topography, the succession of biological communities is extremely fast. It may be possible to discover a completely different ecological chain from what you have seen before just walking 500 meters.

According to Santani, the last shrine of the so-called "Nine Kings" is located in the rainforest of central Mexico.

This is already the southernmost tip of the territory ruled by the Nine Kings. Unlike the Yucatan Peninsula, it is not well known in history... Even within the Mayan civilization, the Temple of the Nine Kings and the cities attached to it belonged to no one for a long time. Living "monuments" too.

The scenery is beautiful and beautiful, but walking in the rainforest is not such a pleasant experience.

There are no roads for cars in the rainforest, you can only walk; poisonous plants are often hidden in the corners you don’t pay attention to, if you are stabbed by sharp thorns, or even cut your skin by jagged leaves, you will be directly poisoned.

Not to mention the snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding in the shadows... What you think are harmless vines may actually be poisonous snakes resting on the tree; Climb up on your legs; what you thought was a scratch on the back of your neck from a branch was probably a tick bite, and you only found out you had forest encephalitis a few days after you got back to camp.

Every passenger who steps into the rainforest must be prepared, hire a reliable guide, carry emergency medicine with him, learn in advance and adapt to the knack of walking in the rainforest, and slow down and move forward cautiously.

Seth Gekko and Richie Gekko are like that.

Wearing stuffy overalls and leather boots, they followed the guide who opened the way and looked around warily.

The guide’s method of avoiding danger is rough but effective—holding a machete in his hand, he cut down all the things in his way, regardless of whether it was animals or plants that fell on the ground, he used the blade of the knife to move aside to remove them. Then move on.
