Chapter 40: The Chips of the Gamble
()17οΌ10γ Please remember the URL of this site: .
Everything is in order. With the help of King Duris, the weapons of the companions are all blessed with items such as garlic juice, silver powder, and holy water, which can harm vampires.
During this time, all the troops of the royal capital were also sent out to issue a ban from house to house, keeping all citizens at home, and strictly forbidding anyone to go out into the streets before midnight to reduce the possible accidental injuries in the ensuing great war.
"Uncle King, we're going. Before leaving, Dany turned to Duris. Apparently she was nervous more than ever.
"Go ahead. That's all I can do for you. King Duris laughed at himself. As the king of a country, when the country is dying, he has a powerful state machine but is powerless, and he feels a little ashamed.
"Dani, Sophia, what are you two still messing with?" shouted Joyka, who had already walked to the front, "the sun is about to set. β
Lei also urged: "Yes, once it is night, the strength of the blood clan will increase greatly, and it will be even more difficult to deal with when the time comes. β
"Got it!" Dani agreed, picking up her sword and chasing after her.
One by one, the companions left, but Sophia remained alone.
"Do you have anything to say. Duris said.
"If ......," Sophia tugged at the corners of her clothes, "if we fail, the future of this kingdom will be yours and you must ......"
"What stupid are you talking about?" Duris interrupted her, "If you fail, will there be a future for this country?"
"This ......"
Hearing this, Sophia's head "buzzed". In fact, she also understands this fact, but it is difficult to accept it in her heart. A country that has lost its backbone, no matter how vast its territory and population, is just a huge fat sheep that can be manipulated by human flesh, and even if the blood clan does not take further action, the central church will not give up.
"What do you want to do so much, Princess Sophia, just let it go, and win back the future of the country. β
"Yes. I must not lose, no matter what, I must not lose!"
Sophia encouraged herself, and she finally took the step forward, chasing her friends in the direction they had left.
Moments later, in the window of the Imperial Study, Duris saw his companions leave the palace one by one and disappear into the deserted streets. He walked away from the window and said to an empty corner of the room, "Are you satisfied?
"Hehehehe...... Not enough, far from enough. β
A string of supernatural laughter sounded in that no-man's corner, and a figure emerged from the void. It was a man in a black tuxedo with long white hair, sitting on a chair in the imperial study, with his legs cocked.
"What is your reason for doing so in the search for your son?" asked Durris.
"Why? I thought you were a great king, but I didn't expect you to fall into clichΓ©s. If you have to consider the so-called 'reason' in everything you do, then you don't have to do anything. The white-haired man held a goblet in his hand, and he replied to Duris as he shook the dark red liquid in the glass.
"It may be true for others, but this law should not be applied to you, Your Excellency. Duris smiled slightly.
That's right, this white-haired man is none other than the vampire prince Dekra himself. In fact, he has been hiding in a corner of the palace all along. The Blood Clan Leader and the Human King, the two of them who were still fighting each other seven days ago, sat together and chatted in a friendly and relaxed manner at this time, without any sense of urgency towards the enemy, because no one knew that the two of them were no enemies four days ago.
"If you have to find any reason, it's a gamble. β
"Gamble? Obviously you don't have enough chips. β
"That's because I don't have to gamble too much, not to mention that the price of Leon and Melissa's two 'chips' is by no means as low as you think. β
"I don't mean to belittle your subordinates, but the next development of events will definitely not make you feel bored. β
"Yes, I would like to see if your high praise for that little girl is exaggerated. β
With that, the Vampire Prince drank all the liquid from the cup, fresh blood from the death row inmates in the Hansha prison.

"Joica, we've all walked around the city, why hasn't Tulip Bee found the hiding place of those three vampires yet?" a panting Sophia stopped and asked Joeyka anxiously.
Just now, Tulip Bee and his friends wandered around the city for more than an hour, and they were anxious to see that the last bit of sunset was about to disappear.
"Not sure. Joyka shook her head, "Maybe the sound waves from those bats are interfering with the tulip bees' sensing?"
"These damn bats!" Ray looked up at the bats lining the streets, and in a fit of rage, he raised his gun and pounced.
"Don't!" Dany stopped Ray, "doing so will cause casualties to innocent citizens!"
"I know, but now, now......" Ray gritted his teeth, to the point where there was nothing he could do.
"Nope. We have another way. Joy Kado.
"What's the solution?" said Sophia, Dani, and Ray in unison.
"I have another tulip bee, it is the king of bees, no amount of strong interference can affect it, and I will definitely find the vampire. A smile swept across Joika's lips.
"Why don't you take it out quickly?" urged, Ray anxiously.
"It's not here. Joyka spread her hands helplessly, "Because the queen bee is too precious, she usually doesn't take it lightly." So I put it in the luggage of the palace. β
"Is it still precious or not at this time?, is it not as good as the life of a queen bee in a city?" Sophia looked at Joyka reproachfully.
"It's not too late to go back to the palace to get it. You wait here for me for a moment. With that, Joyka turned around and was about to leave in the direction of the palace.
"I'll go back with you. Ray said to Joyka.
"No, you stay, I'll just go back alone. Joyka declined her companion's kindness.
"Just let Ray go back with you, there will be a care on the way. Sophia said.
"yes, what if a single person encounters a sneak attack from the Bloodline? Dani said.
"There really isn't any. Those Bloods are cowards, and if they dared to sneak up on us, they would have already appeared. Now there is still the sun, and they can only hide like rats. On the contrary, you must always keep an eye on the movement on the streets, and there can be no one less. Joyka refused again.
"Well, you have to be careful. Although I don't know what Joyka is thinking, but pushing himself and others, Ray understands that everyone has self-esteem, and since Joyka's attitude is so resolute, if he insists on going with him, he is afraid that he will hurt his friend's self-esteem.
"Go and go back!" Seeing that Ray no longer insisted, Joyka disappeared around the corner of the street like a loose galloping horse.

Joika, who had been running fast in the direction of the palace, suddenly stopped after running two or three blocks.
"Come out. I know you've been following me. In the empty streets, Joyka shouted into the air.
"Plop Puff Plop Puff ......"
A bat flew down from the sky, circled twice, landed on the roof of a bungalow next to Joika, and transformed into a tall, thin man with red hair. Next to the bungalow was a four-story building, and the red-haired man was in a position that was covered by the shadow of the building.
"Hmph!" Leon sneered disdainfully as he looked down at Joyka below.
