"Are you trying to kill me? Yes?! ”

"The tender chicken that was killed so easily and had a fart with Heartunderblade, that's for you to eat. I want you to shut up and talk less. ”

"Cut, so handsome......"

Abby Sot snorted, and didn't bother to speak anymore, no longer looked at the girl, but retreated to the side of Quilokin Kada, motioned to the boss, crushed the walnut in his hand, and directly threw the flesh into his mouth with the crumbs and began to chew, silent with an unhappy expression.

"Ha~~~" stretched his waist, Li Nian walked over with a look of lack of energy, stood behind Lumia, and scratched her hair.

"Hmm...... What, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Quilokinka didn't look at him, her eyes were still on the blonde girl standing stiffly in place, at a loss, and the coldness in her eyes remained unchanged.

"It's been a long time, you said this is a guest of your house?"

There was a hint of interrogation in these words, and the Vatican's veteran exorcist really recognized Rumia's identity at a glance.

"Yes, yes, it's a guest at my house, so don't look at others like that, it's scary."

"I just think it's necessary for you to explain."

"As you see, it's not humans, it's my side that I've been entrusted with to take care of for a while, and there's nothing else to explain, it's certain that this is something that has nothing to do with you, and it won't interfere in the battle against Heartunderblade, so let's talk less about that."

Quillokin Kada frowned.

Lowered his eyelids slightly, thought for a while, nodded his head, and said: "Know", dissipated the coldness in his eyes, and withdrew his gaze from Rumia's body.

Li Nian patted Lumia on the shoulder.

"You can go back upstairs and rest. I have something to say to them. ”

The implicit meaning is not to come down until you're done.

The things to be talked about here are obviously not in the presence of outsiders, not to mention that this outsider himself is a position as a man-eating monster.

Lumia glanced at Li Nian deeply with a complicated gaze, nodded, and finally bowed slightly to the two with her head lowered, and said in a low voice: "It's rude." Then he turned and walked back into the room.

As the footsteps faded away, Li Nian confirmed that she had gone up to the second floor, and then turned to leave a sentence to the two of them, "Come in and talk about something, you don't have to take off your shoes." He also turned and walked inside.

The two followed him, took the door with him, Li Nian took them to the living room, and prepared the tea to be brought over and put down, and the three of them sat on the sofa in three directions around the coffee table.

Li Nian blew the hot tea and said casually, "Are you talking about Heartunderblade?" ”

"Ahh

Lips pressed on the cup, took a sip, tasted the slightly bitter taste in his mouth, and lifted his spirits a little, Li Nian put down the teacup.

"According to the agreement, you should have had a fight yesterday, right? Who played and what the result was. ”

"The first duel was fought in Dramanz Luki."

"And then lost?"

"Yes."

"I think too, if it was a triumphant return, this guy wouldn't be like this."

Li Nian glanced at Abisot next to him.

The latter had swallowed something in his mouth at some point, reached out and picked up an apple, took a bite hard, and then said vaguely: "This is also no way, that guy Dramanz Luki, after all, is just a vampire, facing a more advanced kind, even if the opponent is a rookie, he can only perform to that extent." It's so handsome. ”

"What's going on?"

Li Nian was puzzled by the battle situation at that time.

Chilokinkada replied.

"As guessed, Heartunderblade's dependents are indeed ridiculously strong in terms of specifications, as a newborn vampire, they have not mastered the ability of atomization, but they still inherit her brute strength and regeneration speed from the strongest species, and Dramanz Luki is crushed in this regard......"

"The other party was still an ordinary person a few days ago, right? Exaggerated to the point of vampire hunting expert-level combat experience can't make up for it? ”

Abby Solar swallowed the apple and sneered.

"What about combat experience...... After the distance is opened, even the basketball thrown by others can't dodge it - well, the ball thrown by that kind of power is really handsome. ”

"Basketball?"

Li Nian didn't understand, why did this term appear in the current topic?

"Ahh

"Like basketball?"

"The problem is that he inherited the power of Heartunderblade, and the things he threw out have terrifying speed and lethality, even if they were the two of us, there probably would be no better way to deal with it."

“……”

Li Nian imagined the scene for a moment, and Dramanz Luki scurried in a hail of bullets from the basketball thrown by the opponent......

On the one hand, I feel ridiculous, but on the other hand, I feel that it is not incomprehensible.

The world is so unfair, just because of the difference in birth, as a mature vampire, Dlamandz Luki will even be weaker than a newborn of the same race in terms of specifications, just because that Araraagi is a dependant of Heartunderblade.

As Chilo Kinkada said, the disparity in quality has reached the point of crushing, and it is indeed hard to imagine that Dramanz Luki can be close when he is alone.

He thought about it, and also felt that the odds of winning Dlamandz Luki were indeed very low, and this guy was probably in a passive position from beginning to end.

It's a different story if there's rough terrain to hide in, but it's at the school......

Is it at school...... School...... General Wu Gao ......

Wait, that glasses girl is too...... Student ...... of the total martial arts high school And then...... Araragi seems to be hers...... Schoolmate.

“…… So, what is the point of choosing a school as a duel venue? ”

“…… What the? ”

"Ah, it means that the school is your opponent's home field, and it is a favorable environment for him, and there is probably no more suitable stage for a student to fight, this is his geographical advantage, isn't this just picking up a basketball as a weapon?"

“……”

Quillo Kinkada gave a thoughtful expression.

Abisot seemed unimpressed.

"I feel like I'm going to lose if I change places."

"Ah...... Indeed, judging from your description, whether it is in school or not, the probability of losing to Dramanz Luki is also very low for Araragi in that state. ”

Li Nian thought for a while and then said.

"Further, now that your combat power has been divided in the name of a duel, the defeat of the highest quality de la manz road, it is impossible for the two of you to win safely, it is better to say, what I want to ask now is, seeing this fate of de la manz road, do you have a way to defeat Ara Ryagi?"

As he said this, his eyes turned to Quilokinkada.

Although it is said that the quality of Dlamandz Luki is the highest, Li Nian feels that the cardinal of the Vatican is the strongest one.

But the cardinal noticed Li Nian's gaze, but remained silent and did not respond.

It was Abisot who was the first to shout.

"What a stupid thing to say, that guy from Dramanz Luki, no matter how strong he is, he is just a vampire, and it is natural that he can't win against his own kind, but I'm different, how can I lose to that kind of rookie vampire."

"You see, how dare this guy say that, Quilokinkada."

“…… Abby has his own method of fighting, and the odds are to be won. ”

"It's not just the odds, boss! It's better to say that against the kind of rookie who only has brute strength, I will win 100%, okay? ”

Can you really put on a confident look, and it looks like you really have a way to win?

Li Nianhu glanced at Abisot suspiciously.

It's true that this guy has half human blood, and he's a half-hung vampire who can atomize, but it's definitely not as good as the genuine Dramanz Luki.

That being said. It seems that because of this, he has no vampire weakness, and now he can appear here with Quilokin Kada because he is not like Dlamandz Luki, who has to avoid the light, and can walk all the way in the sun. On that day, too, he brandished a cross that appeared to be silver as a weapon.

Probably he does have his own method......

"Well, this guy says he has a divine calculation, so what does you, a cardinal, say, that you really want to pin your hopes on him? You're fine with your hands now, aren't you? ”

"I've recovered perfectly, but in one-on-one I'm weaker than Dramanz Luki and Abisot, and I can't beat the teenager head-on...... I'm trying to find some breakthrough from the side, but I still don't know anything about the enemy, and I can only hope that Abisot will win. ”

What is the ...... of the breakthrough on the side?

Although Li Nian didn't quite understand what this side breakthrough was talking about, he didn't plan to dwell on it, so he didn't delve into it after thinking about it.

Now that Quilokin Carda had said that, it meant that he really felt that it was difficult for him to win in a duel.

He frowned and said:

"In other words, if Abisot loses, basically all three duels have already been lost, right?"

"So I'm not going to lose......" Abisot tried to interject again.

"There's a possibility."

Li Nian waved his hand to interrupt him, and Abby Smacked his tongue, twisted to the side with an awkward expression, and stopped talking.

Quilokin Carda nodded.

"Yes, it's possible, if all three of us are defeated, your Excellency will need to fight one last battle."

"Then you came to me—"

"Tell you some information about the other party, and let you prepare early."

"I see, when I come here, I have the confidence to fight Heartunderblade head-on, and I don't think I will lose to her family."

"I am relieved when Your Excellency says this, but, to be on the safe side, I hope that Your Excellency can promise me something."

Something else?

"Please."

"In the unlikely event that Your Excellency fails, please don't hand over Heartunderblade's heart."

“……”

That's the point, isn't it......

Li Nian looked at the kind smiling face in front of him and was silent.

He looked at the man in front of him for a long time.

Under Li Nian's gaze, Quilokin Kada was still smiling.

Smile as you won't change......

Hypocritical, smiling mask, the same as the woman......

Li Nian suddenly, he felt that he had come into contact with the essence of this person.

Instead of answering the question, he laughed and said.

"I'm going to do my best to win, and then, let Shinobu convince me to spit out Heartunderblade's hideout, so rest assured, Lord Bishop."

“……”

"Nothing else to say?"

“…… No, nothing else. ”

That's it.

Quilokin Carda stood up, Abysot immediately jumped up from the couch, and the bishop bowed slightly to Li Nian and said, "Farewell." The two of them walked towards the entrance.

After taking a few steps, and suddenly remembering something, Quilokin Carda turned to Li Nian.

"By the way, did Your Excellency know the name Araragiri from Oshino Baa?"

"Yes."

"He's a high school student, right, but on top of that, did Oshino tell you anything else about him - for example, family and so on?"

Li Nian raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then answer.

“…… No. ”

"Yes, that's right...... That's a pity. ”

The priest didn't say anything more, turned around slowly, and under Li Nian's eyes, walked out, took the door, and left.

Li Nian looked at the closed door, and at this time he already understood a little what the priest meant by the side breakthrough.

That's why I lied to this man.

"It's the kind of person who will do whatever it takes."

This kind of person is the most troublesome.

He didn't tell him about Araragiri's family.

I just hope that there will be no unnecessary spillovers......
