Chapter 53: The Old Man

'Who do you think they're coming for?' El Rose? Or are we?' I asked.

The princess shook her head, "It's uncertain at the moment, it doesn't look like it's aimed at us, but if it's against Elros, why hasn't it been so long?" The other thing that worries me more is the reports of vampire sightings... It seems that the situation in the Five Kings is far more complicated than we expected...'

So what do we do next?' Are you going to see Ellos tonight?' Ah Zi asked.

'See, of course, if my expectation is correct, many problems will be solved when I see him...'

"But for now, it's better to be cautious, and the four of us will go together tonight, and if there is an accident, we can take care of each other.' Xiao Jia said.

'No, it's too risky for four people to act together, in case this is a trap, wouldn't everyone be caught in the net?' It's up to me and Kane tonight, you two stay, and if we don't come back before dawn, you leave immediately, don't stay for a minute.'

'How's that going to work?' Ah Zi and Xiao Jia exclaimed in unison when they heard this.

The princess waved her hand at them: "Don't get excited, I understand your feelings, but this operation is too risky, this arrangement is also for the sake of insurance, if it is an ordinary enemy, Kane and I are able to deal with it, on the contrary, if even the two of us can't deal with it..." Hearing this, Ah Zi and the others glanced at each other and sat back in place silently. So the arrangement was set, after dinner, the princess and I each took a nap, and only got up at about ten o'clock in the evening, and after packing up, they said goodbye to Ah Zi and rushed to the abandoned house in the north of the city.

That night, the bright moon hung high, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day, the princess and I walked in the empty street one after the other, occasionally a breeze blew, I could even clearly smell the unique fragrance of the princess, if I was not the reincarnation of some damn demon king, just an ordinary young man, how nice it would be to be able to walk under the moon with such a beautiful scenery and a beautiful princess like this... But then again, if I'm just an ordinary person, I probably won't have anything to do with someone like the princess in my life, right? Fate is sometimes ironic.

While I was thinking about it, the princess suddenly stopped, and I hit her without paying attention, and just as I looked up to say sorry to her, I suddenly noticed that the princess seemed to be watching something intently.

'What's wrong?' I asked in a whisper.

'Don't make a sound.' The princess made a quiet gesture at me, then took off her hood for camouflage, her long ears twitched, I knew that the five senses of elves were much stronger than those of humans, and it was obvious that the princess must have heard something unusual.

'There was a fight ahead, and there were quite a few people listening...'

'Where's the location?'

'Right there!' I followed the direction of the princess's finger, and in the distance there was a huge building with a black hole, and in the moonlight there was a strange and eerie eerie feeling, which seemed to be the 'ruined house' we were going to.

'Oh no, Eroth!' The princess and I realized that the situation was not good almost at the same time, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the abandoned house, and as we got closer and closer, the sound of the fight gradually became clear.

'Stop!' Suddenly, two black shadows swooped down from mid-air, blocking me and the princess.

'This is not the place for you humans, get out of here if you want to live!' A girl with long blond hair yelled at both of us, she would look like a beautiful and delicate doll if it weren't for the ugly bat wings on her back.

'It's you who should get out of the way!' It was obvious that the princess was too lazy to waste time with this group of small characters at this time, and saw that she raised her hand to see a beam of light, and the two vampires obviously knew that it was powerful, and hurriedly flashed to both sides, taking advantage of this empty space when the two of us hurriedly rushed over.

The so-called 'abandoned house' is said to have belonged to the property of the Obike family, the richest merchant in the Five Kings City, who made a fortune by the slave trade, and later engaged in all kinds of illegal activities, and was called 'every thing in their family is broken and there is human blood inside', but no matter how bloody and dirty the family history is, the family still accumulated a lot of wealth in a short period of time, and used the money to build a huge mansion comparable to the royal palace in the best part of the Five Kings City, which can be described as a time of glory. However, unexpectedly, since moving into this house, bad luck has come one after another, in less than five years, more than a dozen people in the family have died for various reasons, and the family business has begun to plummet, and the hostess of the family at that time went crazy directly after this kind of blow, it is said that at that time, every night I would hear a woman's crazy laughter from the mansion, and gradually people did not dare to approach this house again, and it was rumored that the family had done too much, so it attracted the curse of the gods, Finally, on a midsummer night, the hostess, who went crazy, set the whole house on fire with her own hands...

It is said that the fire burned for a whole day and a night before it was extinguished, and the entire mansion was completely turned into a ruin, and the more than 20 people who lived in the mansion at that time of the Obike family were all spared, and all of them were buried in the fire, on the contrary, the servants who worked in the mansion at that time, and even the guests who stayed overnight that night finally escaped safely and unscathed, and the whole city was a sensation for a while, and the fire was naturally called "God's curse". It is said that on a full moon night, people often see strange fires flickering in the ruins, or hear a terrible scream, so "ruined house" is widely spread as a special synonym.

However, when the princess and I stepped into it, we saw neither ghosts nor ghosts, but a tragic battlefield, with corpses lying on the ground, blood splattered everywhere, and a group of vampires in the center of the battlefield were besieging a middle-aged strong man, only to see him holding a sharp sword, covered in blood, although he described it as embarrassed, but his eyes were full of determination, like a male lion besieged by wolves.

'El Rose!' Seeing this, I couldn't help but exclaim, and suddenly the eyes of both sides on the battlefield focused on our side at the same time.

'It's you! Run!' Eroth was stunned when he saw me, and then shouted at us, but unfortunately it was too late.

'It's Scarlett!' At this time, a young vampire in the air said loudly, I looked up and couldn't help but be surprised, it was actually one of the group of vampires who had besieged us twice before, how could I meet this group of guys anywhere? It's really a narrow road.

'Is it them?' Let's kill them together!' At this time, I only heard an older vampire on the side say in a loud voice, and for some reason I felt a little familiar when I saw that face.
