Chapter 134: The Stranger (Part II)
"What, someone dares to attack the patrol?!"
Byrne Overseers... Well, that is, Nilton, the No. 1 dogleg of the Byrne Governor's Palace, crawled out of the briefcase and looked up in shock at the subordinates who came to report to him.
As Lord Doge's number one lackey and commander of the Doge's Guard, Nilton looked at the mountains of letters he was trying to sign, and fell into a kind of tangle of pain and ecstasy at the same time.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time, but when the time came, he found that it was not so beautiful.
Vampires forced the Crimson Castle to impose martial law, and the Turin family also surrendered control of the city defense and the lower city to the Doge's Palace, and his Nilton Overseer was the highest-ranking officer in the Doge's Palace - which meant that he, a wandering knight who had once fallen and lost all his family property in the casino, suddenly became the real ruler of most of the Crimson Castle.
The power of life and death is in my hands!
What does this mean? It means that the rich merchants and aristocrats who think highly of themselves in the past will grovel to themselves and flatter them!
In the name of capturing vampires, he can make those who usually despise and humiliate him kneel in front of him, and purge all those who are disloyal to the Governor, especially to him, and replace them all with his own.
As long as the vampire is not caught, the Turin family will not be able to take the city back for a day, and although I don't know where this monster came from, Nilton loves it to death now!
Of course, being in power is not just about enjoyment, it also brings more troubles called "responsibility" - such as the Turin family, who come every day to ask how the arrest is going, and the rats that occasionally come out to make trouble.
Like this one in front of you......
"Uh... It's not that exaggerated. The respectful little officer hurriedly waved his hand: "Actually, it's just a troublesome foreigner, except for a fool who shot a crossbow arrow at his foot, there were no casualties." ”
"Then what are you doing when you come back to report?!" Overseer Nilton slapped the table, staring at his increasingly wasteful subordinate:
"Put him in a dungeon and beat him up, and let him pay a fine and get out! If you don't repent, hang yourself on the city wall, and show it to those who don't have long eyes—do you want me to teach you this kind of thing?!"
The little officer who was scolded for his bloody head hurriedly bowed, his expression was very frightened: "We think so too-but, but the identity of that foreigner is a bit special, he is from the imperial capital"
The imperial capital came... Could it be that he is an aristocrat? This is a bit of a problem.
Nilton frowned... He is still very self-aware, the nobles of the Red Blood Castle can be provoked at will, anyway, he is the governor's person, but the wealthy family in the imperial capital is the object he absolutely cannot provoke.
"How many people are around him?" asked Nilton suddenly.
"Uh... He's the only one. The petty officer hurriedly spoke: "But he said his surname was ......."
Nilton, who received a satisfactory answer, immediately grinned and waved his hand to interrupt his subordinates - only one person, indicating that this kid is definitely not a powerful and wealthy nobleman. Then there's nothing to worry about!
Well... Of course, you can't offend him too much, so put this kid in prison and teach him a lesson, and get him out as soon as possible, for the recent period was a critical moment for the Doge and the House of Turin to seize power, and he had to guard the gates for the Doge.
"Bang ——!"
While he was still thinking nonsense, another figure slammed open the door—and a panting officer rushed in, his panicked appearance causing Nilton to frown.
This gang of my own men... How is one more than a waste snack?
"Governor, Lord Overseer, it's not good!" the officer didn't seem to notice Nilton's expression, and pointed behind him in panic: "Outside, outside......"
"I already know about it, and I don't need you to make another trip. Nilton snorted coldly with a dark face: "Arrest that foreigner from the imperial capital for me, and teach him a little lesson, let him get out!"
"A foreigner from the imperial capital?" The angry officer looked inexplicable: "You, what are you talking about, what does this matter have to do with the foreigners?"
Nilton's expression was even more ugly: "That stranger who made trouble outside the city gates... You idiot, have you forgotten why you're here?!"
"No, no, I'm coming back from a hotel outside the city!" the officer's expression suddenly became more panicked: "Deputy Overseer La, Lakos, he was slaughtered in the hotel!"
"What?!......!
"Shut up!" Nilton glared at the dogleg beside him, and frowned solemnly: "I remember that there should be more than a dozen brothers around Lakos, why did they die for no apparent reason?"
"It's not that it's not unclear, we saw it with our own eyes......" The officer's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he seemed to be terrified to the extreme:
"It's a vampire, and the vampire killed him!"
..........................................
When a terrified Nilton arrived at the scene, he was greeted with an unbelievable sight.
The strong smell of blood made people want to vomit, the scarlet color sprayed everywhere, and the bones of a dozen patrol soldiers fell to the ground, and looking at their appearance, I am afraid that they could not even draw their swords before they died.
This scared Nilton's hairs to stand on end... Although Lakos is greedy for money and lustful, he is also cautious and especially afraid of death, and the guards who follow him are all good recruits from wandering knights and mercenaries, not his own wasteful snacks.
A dozen heavily armed, the elite of the elite ... They died so silently that they didn't even notice it?
When the door was opened, the naked Vice-Overseer Lakoth was lying on the bed, and he was so fat that he was actually skinny and skinny! his mouth grew with a hideous expression, his bulging eyes rolled white, and there was an extremely glaring wound on his neck.
There was no second person in the room, the doors and furniture were all intact, there were no footprints, no murder weapons, not even a sign of a fight or resistance, only a messy bed and blood spilled on the floor, and a cold breeze blowing in from the open windows...... It made Nilton and all the officers who walked in feel a little creepy!
The blood stains under his feet were a little dull, indicating that the prisoner had disappeared at least a quarter of an hour before he was found... And it wasn't noticed until the smell of blood permeated the entire hotel.
The officers hiding behind the Overseers looked at each other, and they all saw fear in each other's eyes, trembling and almost unable to stand still, ready to run away.
Who else but vampires can do this?!
Nilton's expression was ugly, his eyes trembling as if he knew something, muttering something in his mouth, his eyes scanning back and forth between the room and the body of the Overseer.
"You!"
Nilton suddenly looked back at the innkeeper behind him, the fat man in a fancy dress was already paralyzed, and there was a strange smell on his pants, and he was slumped in the doorway like a pair of rotten meat.
Pinching his nose and walking over, Nilton, who had just lifted him up by the collar with both hands, stared at the fat face with a fierce face: "I ask you! Who else have you seen walk into this room besides these people?!"
"No, nobody, Lord Lakos won't let us come up. The boss was almost stupid: "I only ...... when I heard the guy say something was wrong."
"You're lying!" Nilton's expression was hideous, and he turned his head to look at his subordinates who were shaking like a sieve: "Notify it, let people be around to arrest it, and the murderer must not be let go!"
But unexpectedly, the officers did not follow his orders, but stared at him with an expression of disbelief:
"My lord, that's—that's a vampire!"
"It's just... The monster must have run away, and even if it didn't, we ......."
The two doglegs wisely shut their mouths as they looked at the Overseer, but Nilton already knew what they were trying to say...... Even if they can catch up, with their group of waste dim sum, it's not a dinner delivered to your door?
Nilton's face darkened completely, some things were still top secret, and even he had only heard a small part of it from the mouth of the Governor......
"Vampires? I don't know who did it... But certainly not a vampire. A calm voice rang out abruptly, making everyone pause.
"There's another person... Yes, it's you, Mr. innkeeper. ”
"You just lied. ”
