Bella smiled and asked, "Aren't you going to keep some more monkeys?" ”

The apes were shouting in the trees, as if to celebrate my removal of the demons, and some of them even brought some fruit that was hard to swallow.

I sighed, "They're too smart for the black coffin to bear, and I can't tamesticate them." ”

Bella said, "It's true, people who are too smart can't control it, it's the same as animals." ”

We searched the hut for clues to the demon and found a broken diary.

In his diary, he reveals that his name is Tanqi, and that he has been looking for the statue of the three sisters of Ix, and that he has set up some kind of "magic ritual" outside the classical museum, and when we take out the statue of Ix, he immediately learns about it, and takes action.

The wound on Bella's chest had healed, she frowned, squinted, bit her lip for a moment, and said, "This man is so disgusting, he must want to sacrifice me to Ix." ”

I said, "I arrived at the right time, his ritual consumed most of his strength, and it was still unsuccessful, and victory and defeat could be said to be a matter of line." ”

"There's something strange about this statue," Bella said, "and I'm not tired, on the contrary, I feel refreshed now, as if I had never been hurt." ”

I was uneasy and said, "Is there any pitfall or cost?" ”

Bella shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

At this time, morning was approaching, and the trees were dyed with purple and red, and Bella asked me to take her to the basement at once.

The basement was cleaned by Tanqi to remove the lush and obstructive vegetation, and it was spotless.

Bella lay on the couch and said, "I'll sleep like a dead pig, and you'll have to keep watch over me." ”

I said, "It's rightly deserved." ”

Bella yawned and said, "Strange, I'm not that sleepy, you can talk to me." ”

I knew it was a good opportunity to please her, and although I saved her life, I also knew how forgetful people are about such great favors, and women are more likely to remember the small talk that makes them happy, after all, who wants to remember those thrilling moments? I remember reading an oriental novel, in which there is a great hero named Miao Renfeng, whose wife was abducted by sweet words, which is embarrassing.

I said, "Of course, but I'm also tired of it, if you see me.... Absent-minded, lethargic, don't be surprised, it's not because you're boring, it's because I'm too tired. ”

She said, "How so? I'm probably the best chatter in the world, and you can't sleep. ”

I couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Bella asked, "I know Lamia, she's a rising star in the Rangers, and you're lucky to have married her." ”

I laughed, "But I'm not an idle person. ”

Bella clapped her hands and said, "I just like your confidence, what did you say to Tanqi before?" 'I'm mortal, but I'm an equal to the Bloodline!' That's a wonderful statement. ”

I wondered, "Did you hear that?" ”

"I looked like I was unconscious, but I knew what was going on," Bella said. ”

I thought to myself, "There's no need to expose your ambitions too early, it's wise to keep your eyes on the clouds, especially among this group of powerful bloods." So he replied, "I just said it casually, distracting Tanqi." ”

Bella suddenly asked, "Have you done it with Lamia?" ”

She talked so hard that I couldn't answer at all.

Bella smiled: "Don't be embarrassed, I know Lamia's condition, she is indeed beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people's hearts move." But you can only love her spiritually, right? ”

I said, "I love her, and that's enough." ”

Bella said, "Have you ever thought that she is your spiritual partner, but what about physically? You still have to find a physical companion. ”

I laughed out loud to hide my embarrassment, and I said, "No need, for me, that's not necessary." ”

Bella said, "It's dispensable, but it's better than nothing, right?" ”

I don't interface.

Bella looked up at me and said, "Ranger Fishbone Longinus, I've hinted at this, and you're still deliberately pretending to be stupid?" Now you can do whatever you want to me, and I don't even have the slightest room to resist. ”

I've read strange gossip from ancient times that claim that the Bloodlines are not the living, but cold and moving.... Zombie, Bella's appearance is extremely seductive, but when I held her before, her body was as cold as ice, her heart was beating, and her blood was like stagnant water.

At least not with the living.

But that's not the point, the point is that I can't betray Lamia.

I solemnly replied, "I.... I will never be disrespectful to you, sir. ”

Bella said word for word: "I command you to be disrespectful to me." ”

I stood up, moved away from her, and said, "Forgive me, miss. ”

She looked confused and said to herself, "This is weird, how do you feel now?" ”

I don't even understand what she meant by that question.

She said, "If you have drunk my blood, you should listen to me and guess my commands as if they were holy decrees." ”

I was stunned and said, "Will this be the case?" ”

Bella raised her wrist, her fingers cut a small wound, and crystal blood flowed from it, she observed my expression, but there was no wave in my heart, she let the wound heal, and sighed, "Why is that?" You really don't have any cravings? ”

I shook my head, wondering if I had offended her.

Bella said: "The blood of our blood has great magical power over mortals, and if you taste even a drop, you will be fascinated by its taste, and you will become ours.... A loyal servant, even the most strong-willed person cannot resist. Have you ever met Jean Varlen from Michael's family? ”

I said, "Of course." ”

"Jean Salem is regularly blessed by Michael, and he can drink a little of his blood, and he is still a mortal, but he is different from ordinary mortals," said Bella. The blood of the Bloodlines can heal almost all mortals from injuries and diseases, and give them a longer lifespan. Jean Salem is almost 100 years old, can you tell? ”

When I think about it, it's unbelievable.

Bella said, "I'll tell you a secret, there are only thirty people in the black coffin, including me, all of them are very old, and the rest of the nobles who live in the noble district are servants who drink our blood, and we call them 'ghouls'." They are not you, nor are they us, and they have lived for a long time, but they cannot disobey our commands, for obedience has become their instinct, and if we stop supplying our blood, they will die immediately. ”

I was secretly shocked and asked, "You.... Not just to heal my wounds, but to control me? ”

Bella didn't look guilty and smiled: "Of course, I just didn't expect you to be so stubborn." ”

I remembered that I had drunk Vasilissa's blood, could it be that she had that purpose in mind? Perhaps it was the curse of the fish that made me naturally able to resist the mana of the Bloodline, but Vasilisa failed and Bella also missed.

She grew tired and said, "Okay, you keep watch well, don't desert." After saying this, she was immediately paralyzed, and lay straight and straight, as if she had become a corpse.

She wasn't wary of me, but I didn't mean to do any harm. She has dealt with me with trickery, but I cannot take revenge, my whole future is still tied to her, and in some ways, whether her blood is effective for me or not, I can only bow down to her.

I also realized that I could not go further by ability and merit alone, because I was not a person in their circle, and their bloodline, the ruler of the Black Coffin, could not fully trust me, and the blood barrier was better than hard work, and only by accepting their blood, accepting their transformation, and accepting their enslavement, could I truly enter the core of the Black Coffin.

Otherwise, it would be as if we were separated by an abyss.

I meditated cross-legged according to Ochid's method, occasionally worrying that Tanqi would go and return, so that I could wait for Bella to wake up safely, but the safety of Salvador made me restless, and I realized how hard it was to be a dutiful leader, as if everyone had become an impotent and fragile child.

I said, "It won't take you an hour to get from here to Yune." "This time I will order everyone to stay in the car for the whole time until they enter the Black Coffin wall.

Bella asked, "What is it?" ”

She pulled out a stack of documents from under the bed, among which was undoubtedly another statue of the goddess Ix, a woman kneeling in prayer, with a line of words underneath: "Panamericana Pyramid", "Anno Antiques Auction House".

She smiled, "Ah, it seems that the next one has also been settled!" ”

I knew I was going to be colorless, and said, "Don't let Michael see it!" ”

Bellaki said, "Why? ”

I said, "You know his temper, he's definitely going to let me run again, I don't want to go out again, I just want to patrol in the black coffin!" ”

Bella said, "You don't want to? This is a good opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune. ”

I said, "I have lived up to my trust, but I don't think it is an urgent matter to be promoted and make a fortune." ”

Bella stroked my cheek with her cold hand and teased, "Save my prince, it turns out that you are also afraid of death." ”

I said, "Yes, I am afraid of death, because my life does not belong to me alone, but also to my wife, my relatives, my subordinates, and in the past few days, I have realized that life and dignity are priceless and cannot be bought by money." ”

Bella said, "What if I add 20 million credits? ”

I took a step back in shock, my throat was dry, and asked, "What?" ”

Bella said, "Well, that's forty million, I'm not like Michael, I think money can buy everything." ”

The jingle of gold coins echoed in my ears, like a death knell, and I gritted my teeth and said, "Okay, I'm willing to go again." ”

Bella sighed and said, "Didn't you say before that life and dignity are priceless? I don't want to dirty you with money. ”

I said, "I.... That one.... It seems that I suffer from some kind of schizophrenia, and sometimes I don't believe what I say, which is probably the so-called dual personality. I can't remember what was said before, you don't have to take it to heart. ”

Bella laughed: "Whatever you say, as long as you don't admit it." ”

I'm more worried that she won't admit it.

Given the extreme danger of the Sisters of Ix, I don't think they should be put together until the necessary protective measures have been found, otherwise there is no telling what the mess will be.

Bella said: "Anyway, the legs are on you, and I will pay when you give it to us." ”

At the door, those monkeys were actually standing guard for us, and when they saw us coming out, they all applauded and cheered together.

Bella smiled: "I seriously consider building a zoo in the Black Coffin and hiring you as the director. ”

I said, "If you have more money and less money, I'm very happy." ”
