Chapter 35: The Crimson Guards
After she finished speaking, she followed the seven Crimson Guards behind her with her hands on her chest and bowed gracefully.
Yes, elegant.
From her straight body, to the meticulous curves of her body, to the curvature of her fingers......
It's all perfect.
Robin couldn't find any other words to describe what he saw, these vampires all embody a noble temperament and elegant manners, as if in front of him, not terrible blood-sucking creatures, but from the high nobility of ancient times.
"It's been a long time."
Eliza closed her eyes, her long eyelashes covering her face, and took a deep breath.
Bright red curls that hang down her cheeks frame her face even more perfectly.
"This continent seems to still have the delicious taste of blood back then."
Blood......
Flavor......
Delicious?
Robin felt his breath stagnate.
Heloise glared angrily at the comer, her axe-gripping hands clenched back and forth, and the green tendons on her wrists and forearms burst out, like the roots of an old tree.
It seemed that in the next second, she was about to leap up and slash the bewitching face with the giant axe in her hand.
And in the same way, Gail's turquoise eyes were filled with anger.
Eliza browled slightly, seemingly unconcerned about the actions that had provoked the two white-clothed guards, her gaze passing through Heloise and Robin, and falling onto the bronze statue behind them, her gaze confused.
The statue of the hero Kaye still maintains a watchful posture, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, looking out over the sea.
Unchanged for 100 years.
Eliza's brain was filled with many images.
Until her eyes were stung by the light refracted back from the bronze statue.
"It's ironic that the Warden [Kaye Flynn] didn't escape time and turned into a corpse."
A lonely smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, revealing two tiger teeth with sharp upper jaws, and then smacked on the ground in a calm and fierce tone, "The sorrow of the short-lived species." β
As Eliza said this, Heloise and Gail's bodies moved slightly, and their faces were full of anger.
Heloise's snort was heavy, like an angry lioness.
Even Robin could hear a low roar coming from her throat that was about to explode.
"If the Watchers were alive, you wouldn't be able to set foot on this land at all." Gail stepped forward, shouting unafraid of the vampires' terrifying might.
The other party pursed the corners of his lips contemptuously and looked at them lightly, "I wish she was still alive." β
Her chest was hot, as if there was still the pain Kaye had left her.
"Hey, this is ......" It was at this moment that her eyes fell on the white pointed shield in Heloise's hand, and she was surprised to say the name of the magical equipment-
"Holy Spirit Barrier!"
She obviously knew the equipment, so she didn't ask, but used an exclamation.
There was a ripple in the vampire's red pupils.
Eliza's gaze revisited Heloise and changed her previous contempt, "So you're her heir?" Gail Fassbinder? β
As she said the name, Robin noticed that behind him, Gail's breathing paused.
Gail Fassbinder?!
Robin's heart pounded.
But at Gael's age, Eliza, who hadn't set foot on the Western Continent for more than a hundred years, couldn't have known her.
Robin suddenly realized that the person in front of him was a hero with the same name as Gail.
And the weight of this hero is enough to make them feel awe, full of endless emotion-
By the time Eliza said the name of the pointed shield, the contempt that had overflowed her eyes had been swept away.
Instead, there is a blur of the gaze as he reminisces about the past, and a reverence for the hero named Gael.
What Eliza said next confirmed Robin's suspicions.
The captain of the vampire knight retracted his haughty expression and said thoughtfully, "The Commoner Knight King [Gail Fassbender] is more worthy of awe than the despicable and cunning Heron I whom you admire. β
Helen I, Helen Ross? The heroic king of Itnell more than 300 years ago? Bloody war?
Robin looked back at the lady in front of him, and his surprise was even greater.
She has experienced characters and wars more than 300 years ago, so this person named Eliza will definitely not be simple.
Without experiencing life and death, there is no way to see the gods.
Only the baptism of war can cast great warriors.
He remembered what Heloise had said earlier.
At the same time, they have to worry about their current form, if they can survive the two bloody battles, they must be strong.
Robin looked at Heloise with concern, unsure if they had any hope of surviving.
"How dare you say that again......" Heloise's eyes glared fiercely at the vampire in front of her, who was more than half a shoulder tall above the other, like an enraged lioness, "I'll split your heart!" β
"Haha, what funny and ignorant nonsense." Eliza smiled faintly and pulled out a crimson saber from her side.
The saber was bright against the sun, as if red blood was flowing in it.
As she pulled out the saber, Robin suddenly felt as if the air around her had become cold.
What a miraculous power it is......
Heloise's pupils shrank inward, and her broad lips pursed slightly, as if she also felt the terrifying power on it.
However, Robin noticed that even so, the jealousy in Heloise's current gaze did not come from the oppressive Crimson Guard captain in front of her.
She looked farther away, like a vigilant lone wolf, looking at the most formidable opponentβ
At the back of the vampire knights' ranks, there was a relatively small figure, shrouded in a black cloak, and from his vantage point only the pointed chin of the opponent could be seen.
A little girl, from the outside, will not be more than 14 years old, but the exact age is unknown.
Robin's eyes suddenly dilated, and he finally realized why Heloise was paying attention to her-
Behind the vampire, there was only a pair of short white wings, which seemed to be due to injury, and those wings flapped significantly less frequently than the others, and were not as strong, and seemed out of place with their own kind.
It is not so much that she is suspended in the air by the flapping of her wings, but that she herself is floating in the air, and the pair of wings themselves is just an inconspicuous decoration, and the flapping is only an action out of habit.
Just like Robin's living college teacher, he always likes to tap his fingertips on the table while thinking.
Magician?
Robin couldn't help but wonder.
However, just as he noticed the other party, a sharp, cold gaze came from the black cloak, which made his whole body cold.
A chill ran through his heart.
It was instinctively out of fear before the prey was preded.
What a terrible sharp gaze.
Robin swallowed hard, only to feel a chill in his hands and feet.
