Knock Knock Knock –

"Open the door, routine check!"

A quick knock on the door woke Vivi, and she opened her hazy sleepy eyes to find that Apocalypse had already stood by the bedroom door with her sword, and listening to the movement outside, Aunt Rita opened the door with the slow footsteps characteristic of the elderly.

"Aunt Rita, let us come in and search. Slightly tough words came from outside.

"Search?" Rita's voice rang out, "What are you searching again?"

"The rebellion in the south, it is said that many of them have fled to the central region to fan the flames, but rest assured, we will soon suppress them. ”

"Rich boy, I don't have any rebellion here, there's nothing to search! I grew up watching you, and my aunt nursed you when you were a child. Rita seemed to want to reject them.

"Uh...... My lord...... Aunt Rita has always been law-abiding, or—" The blood attendant named Richie has lived on this street since he was a child, and although he voluntarily accepted the gift of dragon's blood, he has always taken good care of his neighbors.

"Hmph. The Blood Squire, known as "Your Excellency", made an indifferent sound from his nose, "I am the Janissary of the Ashen City, no matter what your relationship is, the search for rebellion is an operation led by Master Escobar himself, and all those who get in the way will be punished as treason." ”

Seeing him say this, Richie didn't dare to say anything anymore, but kept glancing at Rita, but the stubborn temper of the aunt who was nearly sixty years old came up, and she was about to speak up, and the anxious Richie couldn't care so much, and slapped her directly on the back of the neck, and Rita fainted and was helped aside.

The Praetorian Guard squeezed into the not-so-spacious hut and began to scrutinize it.

The kitchen, well, nothing out of the ordinary, looks like it was a good meal yesterday, and I knew these lowly humans would be ecstatic about what was going on in the south, but they wouldn't be able to bounce for long. What is this? The storage room is all dust, and there doesn't seem to be anyone hiding, hurry up and get out, hell, I'm going to have rhinitis again. What about the bedroom, messy, I don't like this old man's atmosphere, but how can it be a bedroom next to the storage room? It's a strange structure, next to this? it's also a bedroom, it's the same messy as the previous one, but it's nothing special, and then it's this one, the toilet, fortunately, there's no smell, I hate it the most...... Wait, since there is only one person living there, why are there traces of life in both bedrooms?!

"Hold the door. The Praetorian Guard ordered Richie, then reached for the pistol on his waist, and slowly leaned into the bedroom where Apocalypse and Vivi rested last night, the bed was a messy quilt, and there was a pair of deerskin boots on the ground, which looked like it should belong to a woman, and it didn't take a closer look to know that it was made by craftsmen in the village and town, and the workmanship was not ordinary rough, the Praetorian Guard walked over and kicked off the boots, and poked his head under the bed, no one.

At this time, the wardrobe door on the side was slammed open, and Apocalypse stabbed the bone blade that popped out of his hand into the back of the guard's neck, lifted Vivi's boots and placed them in front of the closet door before the blood flowed over, and then walked out and grabbed the stunned Richie in his hand, looked at the unconscious Aunt Rita next to him, and finally chose to faint.

Wei Wei took off all the "good things" on the guards, mainly Type 3 bombs and prisms as ammunition, and by the way, she hid the pistol in her coat, and the two were about to go out, but an uninvited guest came to the door.

"Hey, Richie, isn't it over yet? I've bought three scallion pancakes, and the Praetorian Guard will have some breakfast too?" A blood servant walked to the door with half a cake in his mouth, and collided with the apocalypse in shock, and the atmosphere became very delicate.

"Enemy attack-enemy-" The man didn't have time to swallow the food in his mouth and began to shout loudly, and then was kicked out more than ten meters by the apocalypse, and the body blocked by the wall was bent at a strange angle, it seemed that his spine had been broken, but his voice had traveled far enough, the screams and alarm bells on the street were loud, and the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and the apocalypse couldn't help but pull Weiwei all the way to run wildly, picking narrow alleys and alleys, and the sound of searching and questioning from the wall was clearly audible.

After running for a long time, Weiwei finally couldn't hold on, stopped and gasped for breath, Apocalypse couldn't put away her steps and wait for her to recover her strength, the girl cast an apologetic look, Apocalypse touched her head and signaled that it didn't matter.

At this moment, the brick wall in front of Apocalypse suddenly cracked, and a slender figure broke through the wall, followed by a fist covered with iron armor, Apocalypse pushed Weiwei away with one hand, and hastily received the attack with the other, and the attacking figure retreated two steps back to open the distance.

"Find a place to hide. Apocalypse whispered, and the girl obediently ran to a nearby corner and hid behind cover.

The attacker politely waited until everything was done before he spoke: "I didn't think anyone could catch my punch, it seems that you are the guy I am looking for, my name is Escobar, and I am the only remaining captain in the Tallon region, how is it? Happy right? Do you think you are about to win? But I have bad news for you, the defeated Kolingas and Bone Mountain combined can't defeat me, so you better obediently tie your hands and capture me, right? monster. ”

"Do you know who I am?" Apocalypse heard the other party call himself a monster, and his heart had a point.

"I don't like to say too much to people who are dying, but for the sake of you're over six hundred years old, I'd better say a few words. Of course you're the culprit who killed my two dear colleagues, and I guess you're also the leader of some shit rebellion, whatever, anyway, status doesn't matter to the dead, according to the intelligence, you're from under the earthly abyss, right? Hey, can you tell me what happened in ancient times? With a human body like you, can you fight against the great holy dragon just by using the blood-stained crystal?" As he spoke, Escobar asked about the Apocalypse, but the Blood Servants didn't seem to know the true origin of the Apocalypse, and they thought he was just a human who had obtained the Blood Crystal.

"Don't you know the ancient history? It seems that those big lizards are even more stingy than I thought. Want to know what happened in ancient times? Do you want to know how to use the Blood Crystal?" asked Apocalypse with interest.

Escobar nodded urgently, it seeming that like his blood brothers, he had no small fanaticism about alchemy and ancient history.

Apocalypse grinned, "I won't tell you." ”

Realizing that he had been tricked, Escobar's face swelled with rage, and his muscles squirmed, and dense tentacles pierced from the cracks in his armor, surging towards his opponent like a poisonous snake.

Apocalypse, on the other hand, covered himself with bone armor and rushed forward against the enemy's attack, the tentacles had no way to face the hard and heavy bone armor, they slapped in vain on the dark armor but could not break a single bit, Apocalypse felt that he had won, drew his sword and slashed at Escobar, but halfway through the action, he staggered and fell to one knee on the ground.

I saw that the black bone armor on Apocalypse's body that had been touched by tentacles was visibly softened to the naked eye, flowing down Apocalypse's body to the ground like a puddle of mud, and judging from his expression, he himself was not feeling well at the moment.

"Hey, hey, how's it going, are you comfortable?" Escobar's grim face let out a oozing laugh, "My tentacles are highly poisonous, and I haven't touched anything that can't be corroded except for Chrisla's steel." ”

Apocalypse felt a heart-piercing pain coming from the parts that had been touched by the poison, but fortunately, the rhythm was only interrupted because of the sudden sharp pain just now, and at this moment he breathed a sigh of relief, endured the pain and rolled over, dodging Escobar's follow-up attack, and was about to fight back, but Vivi's screams came from behind.

Apocalypse looked back, and the girl was taken away on horseback by a blood attendant on her shoulder.
