After repeating the phrase "don't bleed" mechanically for a while.

Like a machine that had lost its energy, Lillian fell straight onto the blood-stained pillow and closed her eyes.

Alexander, who was in the nanny's arms, also seemed to feel the loss of his mother, and suddenly began to cry.

"She's gone.

Jue's calm voice brought the saddest news.

The strength in his hand disappeared in an instant, and Han Qingluo looked at the weakly lowered hand and lowered his eyes.

The room filled with the smell of blood was replaced for a moment by a heavy silence, gloomy beyond redemption......

"Let's go out first!"

Garlo spoke, silence in his voice.

With a slight sound of the door closing, only Galo and Lillian were left in the room.

He took her hand, held it in his palm, and looked at his wife's peaceful face as if he was asleep, but the blood on that face was so dazzling that he couldn't help frowning.

Fetching a clean cloth, he began to carefully wipe away the disharmony from her face, straighten her loose hair, and put on her beautiful new dress, and he kept moving until he threw away everything that was stained with blood.

It seemed that everything had returned to its original state, and his wife was only asleep in bed, and Garlo exhaled deeply, exhaling the cloudy mouth in his chest.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he leaned down, dropped a farewell kiss on his wife's forehead, got up and walked to the door, glanced briefly at the bed before leaving, and then silently closed the door.

……

On a sunny but mild day.

Lilian's coffin rests peacefully under a flowerbed.

No funeral was held.

Only three figures said goodbye to her.

Jia Luo didn't want superfluous people to disturb his wife's last peace, so he only invited Jue and Han Qingluo.

Lillian has endured hardships all her life, even after becoming married to him, so Galo decides to bury her in the garden and may her soul rest in a beautiful world.

Young Alexander babbled in his father's arms with innocent eyes open.

Holding his son in his arms, Galo stared directly at the tombstone engraved with his wife's name, his face calm, and the faint sadness in his eyes was still difficult to hide after a few days of washing.

After offering the flowers in his hand, Han Qingluo, who was dressed in a black dress, stood up and looked at Jue on the side, he took a step forward and leaned over to place the flowers in his hand next to the two bouquets.

After a brief moment of silence, Lilian's memories will fade through the course of time......

——

The streets are still bustling with people.

But the panic is still spreading...... A series of strange events have occurred in the nearby city, which has made the people living in the city uneasy.

The streets were no longer the leisurely appearance of the people, who looked nervous and hurried, and there was no shortage of horse-drawn carriages passing by to escape from the city......

Wars and infestations of heretical creatures have pushed order out of the normal track.

Mai Wei sat in front of the shop as usual, and after watching the pedestrians on the street for a moment, he picked up the wood in his hand and carved it, knowing that a big war was about to break out.

Although he doesn't care much about the big things happening in this world, and only focuses on his own artistic creation, he can still faintly hear people talking.

After carving for a while, feeling uninspired, Mai Weig looked up and looked at the sky through the glass of the window.

The sky has changed.

It seems that a rain is coming.

Mai Weig retracted his gaze, lowered his head to stare at the wood in his hand, which was not even in rudimentary form, and sighed: I can't wait for the first guest of the day.

As a matter of fact.

Since the chaos began, he couldn't even see the figure of a customer, and guarding this shop was completely out of his own selfishness and obsession.

Putting down what he was holding, he got up and closed the door of the shop, although it was not yet evening, he thought that it would be a waste of time to open it, so it was better to close the shop and concentrate on going back to the back room.

The sky was getting darker, and by the evening a low cloud had hung over the city.

There was no one on the street anymore, and the wind began to blow, rolling up the confetti on the ground and making a bleak "whirring" sound.

Mavian sat at the table in the back room, the candles on the candlesticks flickering, emitting a dim glow.

"Boom!"

A thunderclap caused Maivey, who was concentrating on carving, to raise her head.

Then a flash of light came through the curtains: it seemed that it was going to rain heavily.

Turning back and blowing the sawdust off the woodcut, Mai Weigh continued her movements, letting the thunder and lightning mingle outside.

In the middle of the night, a dense raindrop followed in the thunder.

Listening to the sound of rain outside, Mai Wei felt very comfortable.

Being able to create in a comfortable place and be accompanied by the sounds of nature makes him much more comfortable with the sound of the rain than the hustle and bustle of the human world.

"Click......"

There seemed to be some strange sounds mixed in with the sound of the rain.

Mai Wei, who was still enjoying Ben, suddenly frowned, and it was obvious that the discordant sound had disturbed his mood.

The strange sounds are getting denser and closer.

A sudden uneasiness rose in Mai Wei's heart, and he quickly put down the puppet in his hand, hurried to the door of the store, and lifted the curtain covering the door.

"Bang dang!"

The glass shattered instantly.

McVeigh fell to the ground from the sudden impact, countless sharp pieces of broken glass spilled all over his body.

Every inch of his skin felt a noticeable tingling, and Mai Wei quickly stabilized his body, braced himself with his arms, and raised his head, only to see a group of black-robed people standing outside the store, surrounding him.

When he saw the cloudy evil eyes under the black robe, a black shadow flashed, and he fell to the ground unconscious......

——

Three days after Lillian's burial.

The Sacred Guardian Team officially set off, because it was a covert operation, and there was not much of a battle.

Of all the faces, the unwelcome Sevi arrived.

He was already fully armed, mounted on horseback, and looked down on the others who were still preparing with a haughty attitude.

Bedren hugged his grandson to see them off.

"Father, Alexander will be handed over to you, you must protect him!"

Galo touched his son's little face, his eyes full of reluctance.

Bedren also likes this little grandson, who has inherited the good genes of their family, and is also blonde and blue-eyed.

It has been a long time since he met a child who has been bred in the true sense, and Bedren is naturally very happy, as if he has returned to the time when he was a human and enjoyed the joy of family.

"Don't worry, I'm his grandfather, and I will definitely protect him."

After a short farewell, the ready guards turned over and set off.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and all eyes followed the sound, only to see a figure galloping on a horse on the avenue not far away.

When the dusty comer saw Bedron, he hastily halted his horse, leaped down, and galloped towards him with a look of panic.

When the people heard his words, they were shocked and hurriedly rode their horses away......

——

By the time the Guardians arrived at the capital of Kroyadi, it was nearly dark.

There was no change in the streets as a result of the ransacking of a small and inconspicuous shop, and the city's security team left after surveying the scene.

The city was once again in silence, and the fall of night terrified the fragile humans who took refuge in their own shelters.

Outside the vandalized store, there were several figures.

Looking at the broken door, Jia Luo and Jue glanced at each other and walked back and forth to the store.

Pushing open the crumbling door, the "crunch" of broken glass was heard with every step, and the whole store was eerily quiet.

Lighting the candlestick on the side, Han Qingluo followed them in.

What caught my eye was a pile of puppet dolls, scattered on the ground in various shapes, looking a little creepy in the dim light.

"When did you find out that Mr. McVey was missing?"

Garlo asked the guy who was following him to report the news, he was also from the Toredo family, and he was learning puppet skills from Mai Wei.

But he was not interested at all, and the time he came to study was intermittent, and Mai Weig didn't pay attention to it. On this day, he just wanted to go through the motions.

Unexpectedly, Mr. McVey's shop was smashed and the people were gone, so frightened that he immediately rode a horse and spent most of the day to ask for help at Bevo Manor.

"When I came, it was already like this, I didn't dare to delay, I saw this mess, and immediately came to you!"

Hearing this, Garlo also knew that he couldn't ask anything from his mouth, and seeing that he was scared, it was useless to stay here, so he had to ask him to go back first.

"Look!"

At this time, Jue's voice sounded in the inner room.

Everyone hurriedly followed the inner room, and what caught their eyes was the particularly conspicuous hole, and the entire wall was smashed through, revealing the secret room inside.

Gallo and Jue had seen the secret room before, and naturally noticed something strange in it: the coffin containing the Toledo Hallow, the puppet, was missing.

Garo and Jue glanced at each other and walked out of the secret room in unison.

"Let's go to the lobby!"

When they heard this, they retreated back to the hall.

"It rained heavily yesterday, right?"

At this moment, Servie, who was standing outside the store, spoke, and he leisurely glanced at the group of fellows who were looking at him, turned his head to the ground, and pointed to the glass stubble.

"You see, there are obvious water marks in the ground, and according to the time calculation, it should have happened yesterday."

"What if it happened a few days earlier? It just so happened that it rained yesterday! ”

Yuke on the side questioned.

"No, Sevi was right." Jue suddenly explained, "If it had happened a few days earlier, the water marks would have disappeared long ago. And if you look at this trace, there is still most of the moisture still retained, and the time of the crime cannot be too early than yesterday. ”

At this time, Galo also stood up to agree with them: "Well, I also agree, yesterday it was a heavy rain in the evening, and the glass was broken, which must have been broken before and after the rain. ”

"So what did Mr. McVey do? will be attacked. ”

Han Qingluo was completely confused, she had never dealt with Sevi, and naturally she didn't know that he was the heir of Toledo's holy weapon, and as confused as she was Lenson and Yuke.

"Because he's the Hallows holder!"

As soon as Galo's words came out, everyone instantly understood the reason: it seems that the demon side has begun to take action.

"Then why did you take Mr. McVey with you?"

Elke, who was on the side, also asked idly, as a member of the guardian team, he also had to show his presence.

"Because the puppet needs Maivay." Jue's expression was serious and thoughtful, "It seems that the demon clan knows the holy weapon very well, so they will choose to take Mai Wei with them." ”

"So ......" Han Qingluo suddenly spoke, and said with a look of surprise, "The Demon Clan is actually a branch of the Blood Clan?" Otherwise, why is there so much record of the Bloodline in that book I peeked at? ”

For a while, the blood clan present fell into contemplation because of Han Qingluo's words, but that was just speculation, maybe the root cause had to be traced far back, and they had no way to find it out.
