Tome of Blood

  Chapter 162-12-What? you want to run?

   "Ouch, pain pain pain pain pain!"

  Falling out of the teleportation, the blood girl only felt her head hit an iron plate, causing her to grin her teeth in pain.

  Until the middle-aged knight’s weak voice came from below her:

   "Miss, you... are pressing on my wound."

  The girl's face froze, and only then did she realize that she fell directly on the knight's body, and it was the knight's uneven armor that was in close contact with her forehead just now.

  At this moment, the gap in the knight's breastplate was faintly seeping blood.

   "Hug hug... sorry! Rachel! I didn't mean to!"

  The girl let out an exclamation, and quickly twisted her body, which was bound by five flowers, like a big caterpillar, to the side.

  Then, she immediately brought her small face up cautiously, and asked worriedly:

   "You... Are you in pain? You're bleeding!"

   "Ahem, I still can't die, that elf avoided the vital point when attacking..."

  The middle-aged knight coughed twice and said with a pale face.

   As he spoke, he struggled to get up, but was stopped by the girl in an instant:

   "Don't move, I will untie you!"

   But after speaking, she realized that she was still tied up.

   "Dagger... I have a dagger on my waist..."

  The knight is weak and authentic.

  The girl looked at the knight, and soon found the dagger.

Like a caterpillar, she struggled to reach the proper position, barely took the dagger from the knight's waist with her hands behind her back, and then wove the magic vine on her body little by little. The forbidden chains were cut.

  After gaining freedom, she didn't care to take a breath, and hurriedly cut the chains on the knight.

   "Quick! Heal first!"

  The girl helped the knight up with difficulty, and then took out a water bag from her bosom.

  However, when the lid of the water bag was opened, a strong smell of blood rushed to the face. The water bag contained blood instead of water.

  Because it has been left for too long, the blood in the water bag has already solidified, but the girl seems to have gotten used to it.

   She bit her fingertips again and dripped a drop of her own blood into the water bag.

   As if some kind of magical chemical reaction had taken place, as the girl's blood merged, the coagulated blood soon melted again.

  The knight supported his body with difficulty, trying to take the water bag in the girl's hand, but was stopped by the girl again:

   "Don't move around, I'll feed you."

   "Rahail! You are my last relative, I don't want to see anything happen to you! This is an order!"

  Looking at the girl's stubborn gaze, the middle-aged knight felt a little helpless, but finally opened his mouth obediently, and the girl took the opportunity to send blood into his mouth.

  Blood entered, the knight's throat surged, and his eyes suddenly emitted a strange crimson light.

  As he drank the blood, his pale complexion gradually returned to normal, and the wounds on his body healed slowly.

  Seeing that the knight had recovered, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, and then collapsed on the ground with confidence:

   "Huh... the blood race is not useless, at least this method of healing is really beyond the reach of humans."

   "Fortunately, I was careful and prepared the teleportation circle long ago, otherwise we would really become Castel's prisoners today!"

   After finishing speaking, she asked with some doubts:

   "Lahaier, tell me... hasn't the Crimson Flame Blade, Sebastian, already fallen down? Why is he still so strong? Even you, who beat Silver Moon's invincible hands all night, are no match for you?"

   "And... what is the origin of the heir of the Castel family? That stinky book spirit is so respectful to her, and even betrayed me, the contractor!"

   "Strange! It's so strange! The Necronomicon didn't treat that perverted Earl of Shedet that well before! He's a follower of the Gorefiend Grand Duke!"

  The middle-aged knight Lahair thought for a moment, then shook his head:

"I am not sure…"

   "After becoming a vampire, my power at night is much stronger than during the day, but I can clearly feel that I am no match for Sebas the Crimson Flame Blade at all..."

   "He's not an ordinary Yinyue. He was originally a Chi Yang who fell into rank. Before he fell into rank, he was well-known in the mercenary circles of the Eastern Unet Blackland and Koria Kingdom."

   "Now it seems...he may have found a way to restore his strength. Although he has not fully recovered to Chiyang, it is probably far from the average Yinyue."

   "As for Castel's heir, I have heard some rumors about mercenaries, and I have some uncertain guesses..."

  The girl's heart moved slightly:

"you say!"

  The middle-aged knight Lahair pondered for a moment and said:

   "There are rumors that Charlotte of Castel a year ago was attacked by the Gorefiend Sect and awakened the gods, and was favored by the Lord Harald..."

   "Not long ago, there were rumors that a miracle occurred at her coming-of-age ceremony, and the glory of God Lord Haral descended directly."

   "She... is probably the saint chosen by the gods!"

   "If this is the case, I am afraid that the Necronomicon has felt the power of the **** Lord Haral."

   "You know, for such evil holy artifacts, the power of the Holy Royal Court is their greatest terror..."

  After hearing what the knight said, the girl frowned:

   "The saint of the holy royal court...can be called a noble and great 'existence'?"

  The middle-aged knight shook his head:

"That's not clear... She can't be a reincarnated god, right? In that case, the Theocracy would have sent the Knights Templar to **** her long ago, but look at Castel's convoy, even its own armored cavalry Only more than a hundred people came, obviously not taken seriously."

  After hearing what the middle-aged knight said, the girl's expression was still a little ugly.

   She sighed:

   "Forget it, I'll ask that **** book spirit directly in a while."

   After she finished speaking, she felt uncomfortable even when she thought about it left and right, and said depressedly:

"Damn it! The information given by that squinting-eyed prince is too inaccurate! If I had known that the masters around Castel were so strong, and if I had known that Castel had so many tricks, I would definitely have slaughtered him! The commission must be doubled at least, no, doubled! No, tripled!"

   "Cough cough cough...Miss, even if the commission is tripled, such an opponent is not something we can deal with."

"But I can ask for help! Many of those vampires are very interested in this castle. In exchange for the castle, I don't believe that I can't find an earl-level vampire! I don't believe that an earl-level vampire can't deal with them." ! A divinely favored person who has only been awakened for a year is not that powerful!"

  Rachel:  …

   "Miss, a castle is worth more than a commission."

  The middle-aged knight couldn't help but said.

   "But this is not our castle. Now that our identities have not been revealed, we may still be able to stay here, but we will leave sooner or later, and it is impossible to sell it to mortals. It will harm others."

   "Take a castle that is destined not to belong to us in exchange for Castel's head plus a large commission, and maybe the friendship of a blood earl, I think it's worth it!"

  The girl said excitedly.

  After hearing her words, the middle-aged knight was speechless.

   It seemed that he remembered something, and he couldn't help asking:

   "Speaking of which, Miss, did you really put our mission contract in the storage ring?"

   "How is it possible? They were all lied to! I have always kept the mission contract in the castle."

  The girl shook her head and said proudly.

  After hearing her words, the middle-aged knight looked a little surprised, and the girl felt a little uncomfortable:

   "Why are you looking at me like that?"

   "No... I just didn't think you'd be lying, too."

  The knight shook his head.

  The girl was silent.

   After a while, she said silently:

   "After all... People have to grow up. From the moment I was turned into a blood race, I was not the same as I used to be."

   As she spoke, she sighed again:

   "However, our mission has failed..."

   "As long as there is a way out, there is still hope for everything, miss, we still have a chance in the future."

  The middle-aged knight comforted him.

  After hearing what the knight said, the girl's expression softened slightly.

  She patted her face and cheered herself up:

   "You are right, we still have a chance."

   After finishing speaking, she pursed her lips, took out a scroll that had been drawn in advance, and said through gritted teeth:

   "Okay, now it's time to call that **** book spirit back, don't stop me, I'm going to teach it a lesson today! Let it know who is its contractor!"

  Contractors have a contractual connection with the Hallows.

  No matter where the sacred artifact is lost, as long as the contract of summoning is passed, the contractor can summon it again.

   That's why, after the book of the dead was taken away by the other party, the girl was not in a hurry.

  However, when she input the magic power and activated the summoning scroll drawn in advance, she did not get a response from the Necronomicon.

  The scroll was completely burned in the flames of magic power, the contract did take effect, and the girl also truly felt that the Necronomicon had received her call, and then... there was no more.

  The girl's eyes widened, and her hair exploded instantly:

   "Not coming back? It, it, it... how dare it not come back?!"

  …

   "Master, there is no mercenary contract in the storage ring, we have been fooled."

  Holding the tattered package, Sebastian looked a little ugly.

  Hearing Sebastian's words, Charlotte slowly opened her eyes and withdrew from consciousness.

  Although she had already had a vague guess at the moment she saw the girl and the knight fleeing, after knowing that she had been put together, Charlotte was still somewhat depressed.

  However, she quickly adjusted her mood and said with a light smile:

   "Forget it, let them go, they will come back."

  She just searched with the help of Blood Summoning, and found that the stars representing girls and knights could not be found nearby.

  Obviously, the destination of the other party's teleportation is quite far away, and it has already merged with many stars in the Scarlet Star Sea. It will become quite difficult for Charlotte to find the other party in the vast sea of ​​stars with Charlotte's current perception power.

   Unless the power of the blood **** is used, unless the other party comes near her again, otherwise, it may be difficult for Charlotte to find the other party again.

  However, she doesn't plan to spend extra power to actively find the two of them.

  She knew that those two people would come back sooner or later.

  The Necronomicon is still here with her, and the blood girl is obviously its contractor, and unless there is a legendary power to take action, the sacred weapon contract cannot be unilaterally terminated.

Although there is a contract, the Necronomicon cannot directly betray the contractor, and Charlotte may not be able to learn the girl's specific information from it, and even if she knows the information, the other party can run away... But as long as Charlotte takes Reading the Necronomicon, in a sense, the life of the vampire girl is held in her hands.

the reason is simple.

   When the Necronomicon uses power, it will consume the power of the contractor. The power of the vampire comes from the blood. In other words, the girl is likely to rely on the power of the blood and vitality to maintain the operation of the Necronomicon.

   This bullying holy artifact dare not trouble Charlotte. If Charlotte uses this book, it will definitely continue to absorb the power of the blood girl...

In other words, Charlotte does not plan to sever the contract of the Necronomicon, but intends to rely on the Necronomicon to continue bleeding the vampire girl... With this fatal trick, the other party will definitely try to get the Necronomicon I took it back.

  Thinking of this, Charlotte's heart suddenly moved, and he looked at the Necronomicon in his hand.

  At this moment, the Necronomicon flickered slightly, emitting a radiant brilliance.

  Feeling a certain rhythm in the dark, Charlotte smiled half-smile:

   "What? You want to run?"

  The Necronomicon trembled slightly, the brilliance went out by itself, and it instantly calmed down, as well-behaved as the Holy Tome of Blood.

   "That's more or less."

  Charlotte nodded with satisfaction.

  …

   After repeatedly confirming that the girl and the knight could not be tracked by the failed teleportation array, Charlotte and Sebastian returned to the camp.

  As the tide of undead receded, the battle in the camp had also ended, and the mercenaries hired by the knights and caravans were counting the casualties.

With the protection of Niss's high-level range of magic, the convoy did not suffer many casualties. Except for the knight Darren who was accidentally attacked and killed in the woods alone, only four people died under the undead knife, and all of them were When the wave of undead just launched an attack, they were caught off guard and fought, and died in battle without the protection of divine magic.

   There were more than 30 people injured, but the convoy was accompanied by priests, so it was easier to treat them.

   "It's also thanks to Miss Reina's support. If Miss Reina hadn't acted in time, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the undead."

  In the camp, the caravan mercenary who was being treated by Lottie said with emotion.

   "Yeah, yeah, me too, me too."

   Other mercenaries also echoed.

   "Rena?"

  Charlotte was a little curious.

   "Rena?"

  Sebas was stunned for a moment, only feeling that the name was somewhat familiar.

   "It's a young mercenary lady from Kane Firm, she's really quite young!"

   A mercenary introduced to Charlotte flatteringly.

   Mercenaries...

  Charlotte suddenly became interested:

"Where is she?"

   "Is she... huh? Where's Miss Reina?"

   "Huh? Where did she go? She was still there just now..."

   The mercenaries who were about to introduce Charlotte were slightly taken aback.

   Seeing that there was no one to see, Charlotte didn't continue to pester her.

  It's just a mercenary. Although she is curious, she is not so curious that she has to meet.

Not all mercenaries like nobles. In fact, many mercenaries, especially the young ones, hate nobles. The other party disappeared at this time, obviously intending to avoid her. Don't force it.

   "Those who died in this battle will receive three times the pension."

  Go back to your tent, Charlotte ordered Sebas.

   As she spoke, she said meaningfully:

   "Also... Take a careful count of the people in the convoy to see if there are any suspicious persons, and be careful not to expose yourself."

   "Suspicious person?"

   Sebas raised his eyebrows.

   "For example... a blood clan who hides his identity."

   Charlotte said.

  Sebas's heart moved slightly, and he nodded solemnly:

"I see."

   "Besides, the person who spread the wind and attacked us is a mercenary who knows the undead spell, and the hirer is the third prince of the New Moon Kingdom."

  Sebas raised his eyebrows and saluted again:

   "At your command."

  After getting the order, Sebastian went down to make arrangements.

  Charlotte lazily took out a cup of extraordinary blood and drank it slowly.

  She didn't forget that there was a blood race hidden in the convoy.

  However, the other party has never committed any crime, and it is likely that they just took a ride with the Castel team.

  If it's just curiosity, Charlotte doesn't need to use the power of blood to find out the other party by herself, just leave this kind of thing to Sebas.

  Sebastian is already a member of the blood family, and he has a relatively keen sense of the breath of the blood family.

  As for the third prince who hired someone to attack her...

  Although it is only a one-sided statement of the blood girl, Charlotte has already believed it in her heart.

  However, it is important to return to the territory now, and Charlotte really doesn't have time to line up with him for the time being.

  The third prince is a royal family after all, and he is surrounded by powerful people to protect him. He is not the kind of Earl Tulip that she can easily get close to.

   Without a mercenary contract, it is true that the other party's conspiracy cannot be confirmed... But sometimes, rumors can settle a lot of things without definite evidence.

   As for the evidence... When the blood girl obediently came to the door, she would naturally come back.

  …

   At the same time, in an inconspicuous tent of the Castel motorcade.

  The old woman Anna frowned and looked at the girl who lowered her head in front of her:

   "Leina, didn't I tell you, don't you take it lightly along the way?"

  Leina trembled, raised her head and looked at Anna eagerly with her big pitiful eyes. Seeing those beautiful eyes, the old woman softened her heart and said helplessly:

   "Forget it, forget it, I wanted to observe it for a while longer, but... since you did it, we must be exposed."

   "Since that's the case... Follow me tomorrow to visit Him in person."
