Chapter 393: Vampire's Hourglass of Death
Even Brienne didn't think that the vampire lady was coming for her, no, to be precise, she was coming for Elizabeth, who was sick in bed.
After the incident last night, the little girl's body did not improve, although she did not have a seizure after that, her body was still very weak, and what was more troublesome was that some of the restorative spells of the dark elf sorceress did not work on her at all, and when she got up in the morning, it was difficult to even get out of bed and walk.
But time waits for no one, no matter what, today has to go, Brienne has thought about it, even if it is to carry her to the Imperial Academy of Magic.
It's just that they didn't expect the arrival of the vampire and gave them another choice.
Aurora gets straight to the point and bluntly asks Elizabeth to go with her so that she can survive.
It turned out that at the auction yesterday, she saw that something was wrong with the bald girl, and guessed that it was most likely that the necromancer Kovavich had done something, but she didn't say anything, and then she didn't continue the auction, just because she saw through this.
The vampire's solution is very simple, first use the "blood kiss" to transform Elizabeth into the lowest level of blood slave, and then teach her vampire magic and necromancy, both of which are closely related to the wind of death, and will definitely help her dissolve the magic in her body, not only to survive this fateful difficulty, but also to obtain extraordinary strength, at least a legendary vampire prince in the future.
Hearing her say this, Brienne understood, and I have to say that this is indeed a good way, and she can roughly guess why the other party is so kind.
As one of the five major families of vampires, known as the "royal family of vampires", the Lamia family likes to transform young and beautiful women into heirs, although Elizabeth is still young, but it can already be vaguely seen that she is a beautiful embryo, and she is born with the wind of death 100%, I believe that bring her back to the "silver peak", Aurora will definitely be appreciated by the "vampire queen".
Outright refusal? No, it's not appropriate to be reasonable.
Ignoring the anxious eyes of the female knight beside her, Brienne offered her opinion.
To Aurora's surprise, although the mysterious night crow catcher was not there, the blonde mercenary did not stop her in every way she imagined, but only put forward a condition, or a bet.
It's up to Elizabeth to choose who she goes with, but if she doesn't choose to become a vampire, then Aurora can't use any force.
Mrs. Vampire didn't say a word, she opened her mouth to agree, and swore by her own blood to keep the agreement.
The "Blood Oath" is already the most serious oath for vampires who do not believe in any gods, the most famous of which is the oath of the "Blood Dragon Family".
Every member of the Blood Dragon family has sworn to spend their lives and experiences killing a red dragon or equally powerful creature, sucking its blood and lifting the curse of their own thirst for blood, just like their ancestors.
So the vampires of this family are all martial idiots, always fighting, honing their martial arts, and working hard to fulfill their oaths.
Even Brienne didn't expect Aurora to be so direct.
It seems that there was a saying that was true before, those vampires who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, if they are not crazy, or perverts, they are not normal people.
In scientific terms, the long period of time has also caused Aurora to have some psychological problems, and she has long been tired of the days when she only knew how to fight and kill, and turned to things that can stimulate her nerves that are becoming numb, such as the feeling of the unknown at the moment.
Isn't fate impermanent because it can't be controlled by anyone? Now that the little guy has a chance to take control of her own life, how will she choose?
The thought of this made Aurora have a rare look of excitement on her face, you know, even Liadrin's ugly curse just now couldn't change the look on her face.
In this way, Brienne and the others brought the vampire to Elizabeth's room, and a group of people filled the room at once, and the girl was lying in bed in a daze, not knowing what to think.
Brienne briefly recounted the story, neither exaggerating nor concealing, nor giving her much time to think about it, and she had to make a choice right away.
If you want to go, you have to leave immediately.
When she heard that she only had one month to live, Elizabeth was not sad, and when she heard that she could become a vampire with an infinite lifespan, she was not excited, and she still had an expression on her face from beginning to end, as if all this had nothing to do with her.
Without hesitating for long, she did not look at Brienne or agree to go with Aurora, but turned her head and asked for Fitandila's opinion.
The female knight was stunned for a long time, but finally reason prevailed.
"If you come with us, in case you encounter any accidents along the way and delay time, or go to the Imperial Academy of Magic and can't find someone to save you, it's better to ......"
Looking at the stubborn eyes shot from the little girl's silver-gray pupils, Fitandila felt a pain in her heart for no reason, remembering that her parents' caravan was attacked by robbers and both died, and she was standing alone in a pool of blood, but fortunately she was rescued in time by her adoptive father who was passing by.
Then...... I guess that's how I look at my own eyes.
"No... Well, if you're willing to join us, then I'll do my best to help you, that's my promise as a knight in Fitandila. ”
Originally, I wanted to persuade her to go with Aurora, but when it came to her mouth, it turned into a sonorous and powerful promise.
Hearing her words, Elizabeth's eyes seemed to regain some light, she nodded, pursed her lips, and then whispered:
"I'm going to Aldolph!"
The smile on the vampire lady's face suddenly froze, and at the behest of Moria's eyes, the old butler Yinnarus dodged and blocked in front of the bald girl to prevent the other party from suddenly attacking.
But at such a close distance, if Aurora wanted to force a hard robbery, I am afraid that no one present would be able to stop him, not even the old butler who was a legendary assassin.
Fortunately, Mrs. Vampire didn't seem to have any intention of making a move, and she let out a series of silver bell-like laughs, as if she had heard some particularly funny joke, and laughed so hard that Liadline frowned and looked disgusted.
Aurora kept her blood oath and did not make a move, but only looked at Brienne, Fitandila, and Elizabeth meaningfully, and finally left a gift before leaving.
A string of quaint necklaces, in the middle is an hourglass polished with purple crystal, half the size of a palm, crystal clear, exquisite workmanship, each of the grit stored in it is the deepest black, at first glance it is not ordinary.
"This thing is called the Hourglass of Death, it is the trophy of the bishop of the "Shroud Order" that I used to kill a Grim Reaper Moore, it can automatically absorb the wind of death and store it, wear it every day, you will not suffer from the torture of the magic phage, and the body is the same as ordinary people, but at the latest in a month and a half, when all the grit in the hourglass turns purple, if you haven't become a crystal mage, it will be your death!"
Elizabeth took the necklace from Mrs. Vampire, and the two palms touched, finding that each other was as cold as herself.
Fitandila helped her put the necklace on, and as soon as the hourglass touched her, it faintly flashed with purple light, and Elizabeth felt light, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, and her whole body became light again.
Seeing her resume her actions, the female knight didn't say anything, and finally showed a little joy on her face.
Although it is only half a month longer than before, it is a good thing anyway, and there is no need to worry about what happened yesterday halfway.
Except for the vampire, the rest of the room didn't know why she not only didn't get annoyed, but also offered to help.
Brienne didn't want to owe her anything, and before Mrs. Vampire left the Chamber of Commerce, the mercenary told the necromancer's dying words to the other party, which was a reciprocated favor, and as for the authenticity, I believe she has a way to confirm it.
"Kovavich is a member of the von Kastein family."
