Chapter 7 For Whom the Bell Tolls

"Tomorrow at noon, I'll be waiting for you in the wheat fields on the northern outskirts of the city, if you have the guts." ”

Before jumping out of the window, Duris had a very brief eye contact with the white-haired vampire, and in the process of falling, he heard this sentence, in fact, it was not appropriate to hear, it was a voice that appeared directly in Duris's head, and the white-haired vampire used the ability to communicate with the heart.

"I didn't see you bring an army, so why shouldn't I be surprised at all?"

Under the scorching sun, the white-haired vampire finally spoke, his voice still so low.

"Maybe there are a lot of similarities between us. ”

Hearing Duris say this, the white-haired vampire nodded slightly in agreement. In last night's battle, after Duris injured Melissa and Leon, he no longer had any capital to fight against the white-haired vampire, but the other party did not pursue Duris, but stopped to rescue his subordinates; At the same time, he was able to fight his way out of the encirclement with himself and two of his men, and he was able to injure Melissa and Leon, such a man was already the elite of the human race, and the white-haired vampire knew that he underestimated the king, and now he looked at Duris with admiration.

Although the two men are very different in age, strength, and race, they can well interpret the meaning of the word "sympathy". However, the meeting was not about blowing sticks to each other.

"You can see that you know our Bloodline quite well. However, you are wrong about one thing. Among the Bloodline, the Daywalkers are not scarce, but ......," the vampire put his hands behind his back and corrected Duris word by word, "I'm the only one left. ”

"What?" Hearing the white-haired vampire say this, Duris's heart suddenly jumped with a "porphyr", but he was soon relieved, "I understand. Is this self-introduction? ”

"Your Excellency, ...... the hell he" Hearing his own king suddenly use such an honorific title, Sakoros was startled, and a bad guess popped up in his head.

"Before accepting the 'First Embrace' to become a vampire, he was a prince of the ancient Misura Empire: Edward Mishura. And now, he is still a prince: the vampire prince Dekra. "Duris confirms the terrible guess of the captain of his own guard.

"The Vampire Prince!" Although it was sunny now, Sakoros felt a chill in his heart.

Although Sakoros knew that the vampire in front of him was not simple, he never thought that he was the King of the Blood, one of the undead triumvirate!

"Edward Xiumiro? The Vampire Prince sneered, "It's been more than a thousand years, and there are still people who know this name." ”

"Of course, I've seen your history. After losing the battle for the throne with your brother, you left the royal family and returned to your fiefdom in the north, but you did not resent your brother. Because when the Thumilo Empire was about to fall, you tried to turn the tide and lead your army back to the imperial capital, but in the end you were defeated and died. Then, you are resurrected as a vampire, and since then you have changed your name and your whereabouts are unknown. Duris told the other party's background like a treasure.

"I see, I know so much about my affairs, no, about the Shumiro Empire, I can probably guess your true identity. The Vampire Prince nodded, confirming the veracity of what Duris had said, but then he uttered something incomprehensible.

"Your Majesty's true identity?" Sakoros involuntarily turned his gaze to his sovereign, did this man have any hidden identity other than the current king of the Pole Kingdom and the former identity of the fourth prince of Fa-Yale?

"So, there are some similarities between the two of us. Duris said.

"That's all for reporting home, let's get to the point. The vampire prince's face gradually became stern.

"Whether you believe it or not, I repeat the words: I don't know where your son is, and I've never seen your son, let alone who he is. Of course, Duris knew exactly what the vampire prince was talking about.

"I'm sure you don't know. That's why I asked you to come to this place. With that, the Vampire Prince turned to face the wheat field that had just been sown.

"Here!" said Duris's heart suddenly stirred.

Although half a year has passed since that incident, and the huge indentation has also been covered by the first seedlings of oats, Duris will not forget this place. Last October, a terrible tower suddenly descended on the bloodsucking prince, turning almost half of the kingdom into an ice field, and the king, Duris and his warriors, in order to save the kingdom, fought bloodily in the fields and woods near the tower, paying a terrible price.

"I'll give you some tips. My son has been missing for 1,741 years, and I have always believed that he is not dead. Just last October, in my slumber in the Blood Mountains, I woke up to the faint breath of my son, and although it was fleeting, I knew he was still alive. In order to find him, I traced it all the way here. This is where my son was last seen. As the ruler who governs this country, don't tell me that you don't know anything. The Vampire Prince said with his back to Duris.

"I didn't expect the Tower of Seven Sins to be implicated in such a thing. "Duris didn't know if he was talking to the Vampire Prince, or if he was talking to himself.

"I'm not interested in hearing about you, I just want to find my son. Speaking of this, the Vampire Prince turned around, and Duris saw the knife-like eyes again, "Don't think that you have a relationship with me, I won't kill you, the reason why you are left alive is because there is still a place to use you." ”

Where is this negotiation, it is clearly an undisguised threat and insult! Sakolos couldn't bear this, although he knew that the other party was one of the terrible undead triumvirate, he still roared without fear: "You bastard, dare to touch a hair of your majesty?"

The vampire prince glanced at Sakoros casually, and compared to his more than a thousand years, this little imp who was only in his 30s was more young than a grass, and he dared to yell at himself......

Sensing the murderous intent in the vampire prince's eyes, Duris hurriedly gestured for Sakolos to retreat, and at the same time he took a few steps closer to the vampire prince and said, "It's okay for me to help you find your son, but after the matter is over, you must leave the country immediately." ”

"Good. Without even thinking about it, the Prince of Vampire immediately agreed.

"Actually, I don't know about your son at all, but I know a few young people who should have some clues, but they are now in a foreign country, and it will take a little time to find them. The only thing that came to his mind at this time was Sophia and a few of his young companions, no, to be precise, the fat magician Cassius. Because the companions entered the Tower of Seven Sins that day and fought with the guards on all floors of the tower, and afterwards, they all recounted what they saw and heard in the tower, but Cassius was very secretive about the fourth layer of "gluttony", and Cassius was the only one trapped in the inner space with the gluttonous guards, and Cassius was as if he was keeping a promise that no one else knew, and he kept his mouth shut, even if he didn't reveal a word to his companions and brothers. If the son of the Prince of Vampire is really connected to the Tower of Seven Sins, then he can only find clues in the fourth layer of "gluttony". In other words, finding Cassius first is the key.

"How the process is is your business, I only care about the outcome. I can give you some help, though. The Vampire Prince suddenly gave a puzzling sneer.

"Help?" said Durris, feeling uneasy.

"That's right. You can't do anything to take refuge, and I'll give you enough ...... to do the work Impetus. After the Vampire Prince finished speaking, his hands suddenly danced forward.

"Magic Array?" Although he didn't know anything about magic, the well-informed Duris immediately recognized that the Vampire Prince's series of actions was to draw a magic circle out of thin air in the void, this kind of superb spell casting method, even a ring mage of the Snowy Federation might not be able to do it.

The Vampire Prince's movements were swift, and in the blink of an eye, a magic circle appeared in front of Duris and Sakoros, but this magic circle was not the usual circle, but rather a "T" shape. The "T" shaped magic array emitted a dark red light, and gradually rose to the sky, and the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, not only the northern suburbs of the city, but also the entire Hansha City was affected. The people in the city took to the streets, pointing fingers at this sudden darkness and saying different things.

And in the wheat field on the northern outskirts of the city, the source of darkness, fangs peeking out from the upper jaw of the vampire prince, his eyes glowed red, his body was half-floating in the air, and an unusually large amount of dark magical energy emanated from his body, and the vitality of the surrounding oats was quickly taken away, and a large area withered. Duris and Sakoros stood motionless, not because they didn't want to stop the Vampire Prince, but because they were both surrounded by a vortex of magical energy made of powerful dark magical energy, and if they moved slightly, they would be torn to pieces by the vortex of dark magic.

"Do you want to be discovered by the Central Church?"

However, the vampire prince turned a deaf ear to this, and the "T" shaped magic array floated to a stop more than 50 meters above the ground, and tore open the surrounding space, only to see an ancient bronze bell appear in the crack in the space, and slowly landed with the vampire prince. When the Vampire Prince landed on his feet, the bronze bell also hovered about a meter above the ground on his left hand.

"bell", "bell", "bell", "bell", "bell" ...... The bronze bell rang spontaneously.

"bell", "bell", "bell", "bell", "bell" ...... At the same time, Hansha City, which was shrouded in shadows, also sounded the same dull bell. Everyone in the city could feel the bell ringing around him, but everywhere they could not see the bell of the bell, even the church bell, which was in a state of immobility at this time, could not ring it at all.

In just a dozen seconds, as long as hours had passed, the darkness disappeared after the bell stopped. The sun shines again on the streets of Hansha City and the fields on the outskirts.

"What did you just do?" Sensing that the dark magic vortex had vanished, Duris asked, taking a few steps towards the Vampire Prince.

"This is my strongest curse - 'For whom the bell tolls'. The Vampire Prince replied in a calm tone.

"Curse?" Hearing the word, Duris realized that the situation had taken a turn for the worse.

"What you have just heard is the sound of the death knell, and whoever hears it will die at midnight tonight. However, it is not just the two of you who are dead, I have brought hundreds of Blood Night Bats lurking in every corner of your lovely royal capital, and the sound of the death knell can be heard throughout the city through the infrasonar of the Blood Night Bats. The Vampire Prince spoke without any emotion, but every word caused a great blow in the hearts of Duris and Sakoros.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Duris asked in the calmest tone possible, "What good is Tu Quan good for you, and what does it have to do with finding your son?"

"That's what I give you. Rest assured, no one in the city will die tonight. Because I will ring the second death knell at midnight, whoever hears the bell at that time can temporarily extend his life by 24 hours until the next death knell. However, I will only let the death knell ring seven times. That is to say, you only have seven days, and if you have not brought my son to me before I ring the death knell for the seventh time, no one can save you, nor can I save your little kingdom. ”

"Please spare my people, they are all innocent. "Duris renounced the dignity of the king, and half-knelt on the ground, begging the vampire prince.

As long as the ruler gets into trouble, the people under his rule will never be innocent. Remember, you only have 7 days. Don't make fearless attempts, this curse cannot be unraveled......" As he spoke, the Vampire Prince and the death knell beside him gradually disappeared into the spatial crack behind him.

After the spatial crack was closed, except for the large withered wheat seedlings, it was as if it had never happened. The cool wind of the field caressed by, but it did not bring any comfort to the two monarchs and ministers.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Sakoros ran to Duris's side, looking at a loss.

"We've been driven into a dead end. Duris stood up and looked up at the sky, "The bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and it seems that we can only rely on them." ”
