155 7.11.2
Cardinal Royce sat at his desk and looked kindly at the guide hunter in front of him. When he saw the hunter, a smile of appreciation appeared on his face. "Fred."
"Cardinal Royce." Fred saluted.
"Don't be so polite." Royce asked Archbishop Nick to move a high-backed chair for the humble guide.
The guide hunter sat down and looked at the cardinal opposite.
Cardinal Royce was the longest-serving cardinal, and he was far older than all the other cardinals. But he is also the most indisputable of the world.
Archbishop Nick, who was on the side, checked the door to make sure that no one else was there, and then closed the door and stood in the corner.
"You must have known about the sleeping Sarah back then." Royce took a slow sip of his tea.
Fred didn't expect Royce to be so single-handed, so he nodded dryly. "Glass wasn't killed by Sarah."
"Ah, that's right," Royce sighed, "this thing has been sealed for years......
Royce was silent for a long time before he said, "The Holy See is not pure. β
If this sentence is heard by anyone outside, or if it is not uttered by Bishop Royce, the person who spits it out will be immediately burned at the stake. All of them will treat him like a pagan or a vampire lackey, forking him into the middle of the road to be purified and punished by Mithril poured down his throat
But the fact that this phrase was uttered by Cardinal Royce β this man on high β does not generate indignation, only fear.
Fred was not afraid, but there was shock on his face.
Royce looked at Fred and said, "Rohr did something wrong. β
Fred was silent for a moment and said, "...... Was it collusion with Sarah? β
"You're smart," Royce looked at Fred with old but wise eyes, "this secret has been hidden for too many years, and the Holy See has been ashamed of Glass for so many years." β
Fred had already guessed the truth, but when Cardinal Royce told him personally, it was a different story.
Cardinal Rohr, who is now in power, planted a grudge when Glass came to power. He begins to stop believing in the Holy See, and instead meets the crazy vampire prince Sarah. Sarah's strength made him feel terrified and fanatical. Sarah is a vampire who has killed countless vampires, and there is nothing in her eyes that cannot be destroyed. Rohr realizes that if he has the power of the Vampire Prince, he can wipe out the vampires of the entire empire.
However, being a cardinal prevented him from really making that decision.
"He made a deal with Sarah." Royce said, "He let Sarah enter the imperial capital, and Sarah kills all the vampire dukes......"
Fred's face changed. He suddenly thought of the three dukes he had dealt with Jaco not long ago.
"He wanted to gain power, but he had gone the wrong way...... Gone the wrong way......" Royce shook his head with a mutter, "He's going to make a crazy vampire, and Sarah is going to be a killing vampire elder......"
Glass almost died to put Sarah into a deep sleep, and Rohr killed his disciple Glass for his own selfish purposes.
"It was Rohr who woke Sarah up?" Fred asked in a low voice.
Royce looked at him and nodded, "Glass took Sarah's heart, and Rohr killed Glass, feeding Sarah's depleted heart with Glass's blood. β
High vampires don't die if they lose their hearts, they are still able to move and suck blood. Sarah came to the imperial capital, not only to fulfill the agreement, but also to get her heart back!
Fred looked at Royce and said, "What do you want me to do?" β
Royce said slowly, "I know you have a partner, and it's a vampireβ"
Fred's whole body tensed, but Royce continued, "I know he killed the three dukes. β
The entire empire was buzzing with claims that Fred had destroyed an entire vampire lair, but that didn't hide from Royce. He knew that the three dukes had not been killed by a hunter. Fred didn't expect that this matter would be hidden from the top for the rest of his life. But Royce still made him almost do it.
"There are only seven cardinals in the entire empire, and three of them are like me, and even if they die, they will not be able to exert their strength...... And the other two ...... It's all Rohr's faction. "It's not just that there are internal struggles within the imperial power, but there are also factional strife within the Holy See, and the entire Holy See seems to have many strong people, but it can't gather a single force. Once one of the Cardinal Masters on Royce's side dies, the power of the Rohr faction will be even stronger than theirs. The red-clothed sect leader sitting on the high seat seemed to be a prisoner with his hands and feet chained, dressed in a high-sounding manner, but he couldn't change the status quo involuntarily.
"He was the only hope for killing Sarah." Royce looked at Fred and said heavily.

Wales had been standing outside waiting for the guide to come out. He had always been suspicious of the old thing that Royce, who was not clearly on the side of Cardinal Rohr, and who was all hostile in Wales. Fred is a formidable force, and if they can win him over, so much the best, and if he's been brainwashed by that old thing from Royce, Wales doesn't mind taking out another guide.
However, before Fred could appear, two small guides appeared at the other end of the passage.
"Who are your teachers? How did it end up here? Wales frowned. The two guides who appeared out of nowhere seemed a little strange to him.
"Our teacher is in the tower, and the teacher said that Fred is our big hero, let's come here and invite him." Kuta's childish voice is more like the truth than anyone else when he tells lies.
How did they know Fred was here? Wales' eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
Just then, Fred finally appeared, and a smile of surprise immediately appeared on Kuta's face, shouting that Fred rushed towards him.
Wales clenched his teeth secretly.
Fred is a huge glowing light bulb now, and if he is quietly killed here by himself, there may not be any rumors, even if his lover wants to make trouble, it will be more than someone who blasts that guy out of the holy temple, but the two children have seen Fred, and their teacher knows that they are here, unless he kills them and Fred together...... No, he couldn't kill the two little guides who were still under the guardianship of the tower.
Wales watched Fred leave with the two guides, and his inner battle almost broke out.
No, he had to stop Royce. This guide took Royce's orders, even if he had to sacrifice himself, he couldn't let Royce complete his deployment!
Fred has been vigilant against Wales behind him, and at the same time as the opponent's spirit body pounced, he swept Ivy beside him, grabbed his waist and threw Kuta far aside!
As soon as the Welsh spirit body vulture rushed up, he tried to take away a piece of snake tail exposed from Fred's neck, and the other party had already seen that Fred's spirit body was his prey, and a sneer appeared on his face, Fred stared at the other party coldly, his steps quickly dodged, and he pulled out the silver scimitar on his waist!
Wales was a powerful sentry, and he never thought that a guide could withstand the power of a sentry, and a sneer appeared on Fred's face when he saw Fred's vigilant appearance. Fred, you're just a guide, you need a sentry after all, and you're no different from any other guide!
Cast aside, Kuta and Ivy find it difficult to accept what they see. They hugged each other and tried to shrink back, horrified to see the vampire hunter and the archbishop wrestling together. Fred's strength is mostly in hunting vampires, he is a vampire hunter after all, and his methods are almost always used against vampires. Wales wanted him to kill him at every move, which made Fred angry with him.
Wales was indeed a formidable sentinel, and Fred avoided it three or four times, each time with a slight injury. When he took out the silver scimitar, Wales also took out a sharp dagger.
"Fred, be careful!" Kuta yelled from the side, alerting Fred of the sharp knife that was about to stab him in the flank. Fred immediately resisted with his sword, and the hard dagger actually directly cut off the silver blade that Fred originally used to fight vampires! Wales took the opportunity to punch him in the chest, and the force made Fred roll on the ground twice before he could barely stand up and swallow a mouthful of blood that he almost vomited, and he stared at Wales coldly: "Don't mess with me, I have to go back to him intact." β
"He" refers to whoever is present, and everyone who is present actually understands it subconsciously. Wales looked at him with a sneer: "You don't have a chance to go back, this is your death-" Wales's eyes widened, and the words in his mouth were blocked.
As Fred's words fell, the spirit body in his arms finally slipped out of his shirt.
A python with a man's thigh thick appeared in front of several people!
The vulture, which wanted to peck at the slender snake tail from earlier, froze for a moment, and then the stout python stood up to the height of two people, staring coldly at the panicked vulture.
"Hey, it's done, it's time to go, little ones." A voice that had not existed before suddenly appeared beside the two guides, and both Ivy and Kuta stared straight at the red-haired man hanging upside down above.
The Welsh spirit body was already afraid, indicating that he himself was beginning to panic. The red-haired hunter had collected what he wanted, and there was no reason to linger any longer.
Wales subconsciously aimed his dagger at the massive python, but fear kept him from stepping forward. How powerful a sentinel's spirit body is is enough to show how strong his own spiritual power is! The Welsh spirit was intimidated, and this affected him. He thought of the two little guides at this point. Just grab those two guides and threaten Fred...... Without hesitation, Wales rushed towards the two guides.
As soon as Fred got up, he didn't have time to stop Wales, a strong anger surged in his chest, and just as Wales was about to grab Kuta, a figure suddenly fell from above,
The man smiled, scooped one up with one hand, and snatched the two guides in front of Wales!
Wales felt only a pain in his temples in astonishment, and then it was like a sharpened iron rod drilling into his brain, and all his mental power was torn apart by the hurricane, and he turned around in a rage and swung the dagger in his hand to slash indiscriminately, trying to tear the guide to pieces in a cloud of light. In the midst of a bizarre scene, he saw that the blonde Fred was no longer blonde, but a tall man with black hair......
The spiritual space of Wales was completely shattered, and the spiritual body was violently swallowed into the stomach by the python, and the body fell soft.
Fred stepped forward to look at Wales as he fell to the ground. He didn't die, but his mental power was torn apart, and his spiritual body was swallowed, and he probably won't wake up again.
-
The Holy See has erupted into one of the biggest scandals of all time!
A video was thrown into the networks of every household in the empire, and the Archbishop of Wales shocked the whole country with his attempt to kill the guide Fred. They don't understand why Wales is fighting the hero Fred, who seems to be holding up, and the camera movement makes them understand what Fred is afraid of - there are two little guides in the corner!
Wales tries to kill the guide!
Fred is seen as being slammed to the ground, the sentry's steely fist spurting blood, and as Fred falls to the ground, Wales draws a dagger and turns to deal with the two innocent guides. The footage shows Wales rushing towards the faces of the two guides menacingly, and behind him is Fred, who has just stood up with a frightened face.
The whole empire was in an uproar!
The people couldn't believe that it was the work of an archbishop, thinking that the previous guides were brought into the vampire's guild by the imperial officials sent by the Holy See, and a panic and loss of trust quickly spread among the people.
Churches were smashed all over the empire, and the Holy See lost control of the populace.
And the two little guides who were sitting in Fred's room at the moment were still a little unrefreshed from the impact on them. They did not dare to return to the tower, because now the whole tower was looking for them like crazy. More people began to question the existence of the tower, and continued to β‘β‘ demand that the tower release its guide.
Fred, who was sitting on the bed, was twitching the corners of his mouth and making a "hiss" sound, and Giaco, who had given him a straight bone, gave him a fist in anger. The punch wasn't heavy, it only made Fred move his jaw.
Fred's naked upper body was bruised, and there were some small cuts that had been done by the mad Wales. Jaco asked angrily: "You said you came back safe and sound!" β
Fred wanted to say he hadn't said it, but he obviously couldn't argue with it. He hugged Giacco soothingly, comforting him with his spiritual tentacles. Jaco bit him and rubbed the tip of his tongue again, licking off the shallow tooth mark.
He lifted Fred's arm up and licked his wound off little by little. Vampire saliva helped to heal these wounds, and in a few moments, Fred's wounds were only flesh-pink marks.
Kuta, who almost jumped up to warn Fred, stared at the strange vampire in front of him in amazement. He had never seen a vampire like this and a hunter like this. Can vampires help people heal without sucking blood?
Kuta, who saw Fred's wounds healing with his own eyes, opened his mouth wide as if he were a wooden man.
Fred grabbed Jaco's shoulders to stop him from licking his tongue around his waist, and said in a low voice, "That's enough, and there are two more children......
Giakopi said with a smile: "It seems that you were the one who kissed me in front of her?" β
Ivy on the side turned her head sadly and awkwardly.
Fortunately, Jaco stopped and bandaged Fred's wound, which had not fully healed.
"Alright, you've seen Fred, it's time to go back." Giacco said impatiently to the two guides.
Ivy had seen the other party's polite and heartwarming appearance not long ago, but now she ignored her, as if she was a trash, and her heart was suddenly extremely lost and sour.
"Where do you want to go? Go home? Tower? Or the Temple? As a thank you, I am responsible for delivering you to your door. Jaco grinned and bared his fangs, startling the two guides.
Kuta's eyes widened as he ducked back and said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm here with Fred!" β
What the? Giacco felt as if he had eaten a fly. He looked at Kuta viciously and said, "What did you say? You're going to stay here? Listen, the rent here is five thousand imperial dollars a month without food, and the right to use this floor is mine, if you want to stay, you have to pay for it yourself. β
Kuta was visibly stunned, and he stammered and said with a sense of reason, "IβI saved Fred!" β
"You didn't save him, he saved you." Giaco corrected him coldly.
"You can't get rid of us!" Kuta blushed, but couldn't find any reason to stay. Even Fred didn't say a word, apparently the decision was in the hands of this vampire.
"But we're homeless now." Ivy spoke suddenly. Both Jaco and Fred looked at her. "We don't dare to go back to the tower, they control our minds, they control our freedom, but I've been in there since I was six years old, and I don't know where else to go but the tower."
Kuta was younger, and it was clear that they were all sent in by poor families. Entering the tower is equivalent to relieving the family of a burden, and at the same time making a long-term investment for them, no matter what the children will become in the future, it will definitely be better than living in their poor family.
Jaco furrowed his eyebrows and didn't speak for a moment.
"Fred won't watch us wander!" Kuta called out again.
Fred looked at Jaco a little helplessly, only to see the little vampire say lightly
The author has something to say: "Okay, you stay, live below, I can help you pay the rent, but you have to work for me." β
Ivy and Kuta had never imagined that they would work for a vampire, but after blushing and holding back for a long time, the stubborn Kuta finally called, "Deal!" β
The vampire showed his fanged grin.
