Chapter 165: Yellow Sparrow (6)
(Cat pounces Chinese http://www.mpzw.com.)
www.mpzw.com) Nomi has never considered such a profound issue as marriage, let alone an old monster who is said to have lived for two epochs.
Looking at the wrinkles and age spots on the face of the guy who claimed to be the Duke of Vampire, Nomi instinctively shook her head desperately.
"Please wait here for a moment while I'm going to clean up those pesky humans. ”
Although the tone is polite, the vampire duke doesn't care about Nomi's opinion at all - the so-called queen is just a vampire with special abilities. And the one who commands the vampires on the side has always been the duke.
And Nomi, who didn't even look at his eyes, staggered to the ground as soon as he finished speaking...... Fell asleep.
The vampire duke, who was about to turn to deal with his pursuers, suddenly felt dizzy, and only then did he notice that his arm that had been stabbed earlier was still bleeding.
He frowned, as the most powerful vampire in Skyrim, he had a superhuman imagination of self-healing ability, enough not to care about the wound of being stabbed with a dagger, so he didn't notice after being injured.
It appears to be the Dawn Guard's ghost, and the dagger should be coated with their special poison that destroys the vampire's ability to heal itself...... Thinking so, he noticed several small bottles of different colors in the pocket of Nomi's jacket.
Picking out the bottle containing the blood-red liquid, he uncorked it and sniffed it with his nose, making sure it was a healing potion, and drank it clean.
The bleeding from his injured arm stopped almost immediately, and he was secretly amazed at the miraculous effect of the potion that Nomi carried.
……
The Yellow Soul swung his sword and slashed at the powerful vampire who had suddenly appeared in front of him and had taken his captive, his eyes telling him that he had hit his target, but there was no feeling of slashing at any physical object in his hand.
The other party shattered before his eyes, and out of instinct, he ducked, barely dodging the other party who appeared behind him at some point.
Without Nengmei as a burden, Huang Soul couldn't even touch the other party's robe, he struggled to dodge and parry, and it didn't take long for several wounds to be added to his body.
Since killing his first vampire as a teenager, he has never encountered such a powerful enemy in more than ten years of serving in the Dawn Guard and killing countless vampires, and he wants to ask if the other party is the legendary vampire duke, but he has not the slightest time to put his thoughts into action.
Has the day finally come when hunters will be devoured by their prey...... In a short period of time, he was already determined to sacrifice himself as bait, hoping only that his partner could successfully complete the task.
Jumping on the roof next to him after taking a detour, Brad didn't take much effort to spot Nomi leaning against the wall.
At the moment when Nomi is taken captive, Brad and his partner realize the strength of the other party.
Yellow Soul plans to entangle the enemy himself, while Brad is responsible for finding and killing Nomi.
There is no room for mercy...... Looking at Nomi's thin back not far below, Brad thought: the powerful vampire who raided them could not have expected that they would abduct Nomi today, and the snatching must have been out of improvisation, and once this opportunity was missed, after he made peace with the rest of the vampires in the city, they would have no chance to organize the vampire's plan.
Thinking of this, Brad unsheathed the delicate and narrow quiver around his waist and carefully took out a black crossbow, which he put on a sniper crossbow that was enough to kill the giant, and aimed it at Nomi.
……
"For humanity!"
The Yellow Soul, who had been penetrated by the critical matter, roared out the last two words with his already tattered body.
He was good at melee combat, and he delayed enough time that Brad must have already succeeded. So, he collapsed with a smile on his face.
The vampire duke, who was wiping a short staff with a handkerchief, saw the strange expression of the yellow soul, and finally realized his mistake.
Cowering in his castle for hundreds of years, he had long forgotten that the Dawn Guard had always used a duo of swordsmen and archers...... From the beginning, he ignored the other human, who seemed to be unresponsive, had little strength, and didn't carry a bow and arrows.
Putting away his staff, he turned into a cloud of black mist and quickly returned the way he came.
As he threw him down the entrance to the alley, a black arrow suddenly shot at him.
He didn't dodge at all, and the bolt pierced through him and turned into a cloud of smoke, as if he had no substance.
Nengmei is safe and sound.
Although he knew that she was a vampire, Brad was never able to attack her, who still looked like a child.
And after the failure of the sneak attack on the duke, he was grabbed by the arm stretched out in the black mist that rushed to his side, and threw off the roof.
Before he could recover from the impact, Brad was pierced by the Vampire Duke's staff.
"O man, to thank you for your kindness......" The Duke, who had understood what had happened, looked down at Brad, who was nailed to the ground with a short staff, and said, "I will give you the right to struggle and die in agony." ”
The Vampire Duke chuckled darkly.
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for bringing the Queen out of that church. ”
"I was going to sneak in at a time when humanity was at its most chaotic due to war...... I didn't expect you two fools who don't know whether to live or die to help a lot. ”
Just as he was talking to himself, several tentacles that broke through the ground suddenly whipped towards him, and the moment he dodged, both Nomi and the badly injured Brad were swept away.
Lori, the fox, the knight, and the cunzài, who made him afraid to attack the church, appeared at the other end of the alley.
"It's really haunting. The vampire duke, who had escaped the tentacle entanglement attack, said, "How did you find this place?"
The knight ignored him, and she was busy checking on Brad's injuries.
Lori ignored him, but slapped Nomi hard, shouting, "Stupid wake up!"
Cunzài, who made him unable to move, ignored him, and she quietly used her tentacles to destroy the contents of Nohmi's pocket.
The fox shook his head and replied, "Meow~"1
It's a pity he didn't understand.
……
Loria slapped Nomi, who woke up and cried and picked up, turned to the vampire duke opposite, and asked, "You're the vampire boss, can I ask you a few questions?"
The duke, who had been lurking in the snow for a long time, obviously had a certain understanding of Loria and the others, and put away his hideous expression, he said to Loria gently: "Exactly, Miss Stranger, may I ask." ”
However, his eyes were always on Alice.
"Can only a vampire queen convert a human into a vampire?"
Loria asked her question.
The Duke replied: "Not exactly, although I don't know the specific method, but apart from the rituals, only the queen can transform humans at will...... And, according to the records, the vampires converted by the queen are all pure-blooded without exception. ”
Loria nodded and asked, "So how are you sure that Nomi is the queen?"
The Duke replied, "I have lived long enough to know all the vampires...... Except for her, she was forgotten in the forest by her parents since she was born...... I also found her not long ago...... And she, as the prophecy describes, is a vampire I didn't know before I saw her, with the appearance of a little girl. ”
Maybe it's more appropriate to abandon it?Loria didn't expect that Nengmei would have such a story.
"So, one last question. Loria asked, "Will a human who has been bitten or scratched by a vampire become a vampire?"
"There is a legend, but I have lived so long and have never seen it," replied the duke, "I am afraid that it is a lie...... So, could you please answer me a few questions as well?"
Loria nodded.
The atmosphere didn't look tense at all...... The two sides talked back and forth as if they didn't realize that they were enemies.
Note 1: Author's translation: "The smell of stupidity can be smelled no matter how far away it is~"
