Chapter 44: The Making of the Covenant
"What happened to them?" Vanessa wanted to distract Victor, but seeing Reina's face gradually turn from white to red, she knew that he was entangled in his trachea and was about to suffocate. Brandt, what are you doing? Come and save us. Upon entering Victor's hall, Vanessa crushed the magic candy beneath her tongue, emitting a peculiar scent that allowed the magicians who made it to pinpoint their location. The next thing is a race against time, Vanessa's delaying strategy has worked, but Reina is too anxious, and the unsuccessful sneak attack angers the monster.
"You'll soon experience first-hand the way I entertained them." Victor smiled. Suddenly, his body was jerked, and the whole person slipped half a meter into the water, Vanessa saw that he was holding Reina's wrists and feet slightly loose, and knew that the opportunity had come, so she pulled out a short sword from her sleeve and slashed it down, the monster screamed and dodged, and at the same time swung dozens of wrists and feet, and the princess was knocked out several meters, and her back slammed into the door.
Victor angrily raised Reina's body and roared, "You have brought the enemy! I'll deal with you when I'm done cleaning them up! He turned and threw himself into the water and disappeared into the sea with Reina.
"No!" Vanessa pounced on the edge of the hole, "He can't swim!" ”
At this time, the captain and the first mate slowly leaned towards her, and the captain touched his neck, and his heart palpitated, "Poor boy, although you are very brave, I have seen too much of this, and many people have tried their best to kill that monster. Now, you'd better pray that Victor will quickly take out your rescuers, or your friend will die in less than a minute. ”
There was no time to pray, and there was no time to wait for help, Vanessa picked up the short sword and made a deep bloody cut in the palm of her hand, and then dipped her hand in the seawater, "Hurry, hurry, flow faster." "Blood rippled through the sea like a stretch of silk, drifting swiftly into the distance along the currents of the nearshore.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the monster to smell the scent of blood and return to its lair. The sea churned, and Reina finally came to the surface, Vanessa flew up and hugged him, looking up and shouting to Victor, "Let them go, I promise you everything." ”
"Why? Your blood tastes so different from someone else's. Victor ignored Vanessa's plea, instead looking at her inquiringly.
I have the blood of a true king in my veins, and I don't make sense with you, a monster who is not like you. Vanessa replied to him in a different way of saying that she would not reveal her identity, "Maybe I'm the antidote to your becoming a human, now, let everyone go." ”
"Don't give him anything, Vanessa." Reyna weakly got up from the ground, "He doesn't deserve it." ”
Victor smiled wickedly, and four wrists and feet wrapped around Reina's body at the same time, placing him in the air in the form of a "big" character.
"Everyone, but he can't." Victor shook Reina, "I've found that the connection between lovers can make the girls' blood flow faster, and seeing their sweetheart tortured makes their blood sweeter and more delicious." ”
"It turns out that the boys were tortured to death by you!" Vanessa remembered the foul rancid stench in the hallway, "I thought you were just selfish, at least not to hurt people's lives. The princess slowly stood up, looked directly at the monster, and said in a trembling voice, "Reiner is right, you have no human soul, and you are not worthy of a human form. ”
"Watch your words," Victor menounced Vanessa's face and threatened, "and he'll be uncomfortable if you me off." As he spoke, the wrists and feet that grabbed Reina's arm suddenly twisted hard, and Reina suddenly let out a cry of pain. Now, make an alliance with me and give me the sweet and juicy liquid in your body, and I will make his death less prolonged. ”
"Engagement?" Vanessa hadn't heard of vampires making alliances with their victims.
"Yes, the Alliance." Victor nodded his hand reluctantly, "If I say something, you can repeat it." ”
"Why the Alliance?" Brandt, you goddamn pouter, what the hell are you doing. I can't put it off! I'm scared!
"A prophet told me a prophecy that the only way for me to become 'human' was to drink the fluids of human bodies and feel their qiē, and to do so only with the consent of the other person.' The more Victor spoke, the more angry he became, "In order to get rid of this deformed body, I have drunk the blood of many people, men, women, old and young, delicious and unpleasant, the living and the dead, all of which have no effect!" I'm going to kill the fake prophet! She couldn't say it at all! She's going to hell based on her bullshit prophecies! The monster shook off its hands and feet and kicked a qiē in the stone hall, and the sea was once again stirred by his rage. For some reason, Vanessa always felt that something was wrong with that prophecy, but she was really scared at the moment, her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't think at all.
After a while, Victor had had enough, and the frantic and distorted face suddenly turned to Vanessa, "But I'm going to try again, one last time," he rolled his throat, swallowing his saliva, "I have a hunch, you're right, your blood may be my antidote." ”
Vanessa winced. I don't want to be a pale girl on a stone pillar, and I am scared every day watching my blood flow from my hands to my feet and from my feet to the mouth of a monster. Where are you, Brant, come and save me.
"Hehe, don't you dare? Just now, I said that the righteousness is awe-inspiring, hum, the human nature, the soul, or something in your mouth, and it will not be replaced by selfishness when it comes to the end. ”
"I'm afraid, it's human nature, and if I'm not afraid, it means that I don't have the most basic human nature." Vanessa shuddered with a shudder. At the same time, mentally calculate whether he would swim faster than Victor if he jumped into the water.
"I don't want to wait any longer," Victor said with a look of annoyance, "let me give you a boost." With the exertion of his wrists and feet, Reina's limbs suddenly made a gurgling sound.
"Don't listen to his nonsense," Rainer gritted his teeth and refused to scream, "he won't keep his promise, you'll die!" Wrists and feet strengthened, Reina's face swollen and red in pain, and his arms had flipped back
