The moment Thomas and the black shadow looked at each other, the black shadow jumped down from the beam, this hidden and silent action was like a ghost, and it landed lightly without sound, even the vampires who perceived beyond us humans were unaware, what a terrible thing.

The phantom landed in the middle of the house, which made the guards in the distance immediately nervous, they took out their guns and pointed at the phantom, constantly warning the 'shadow' to move closer to the 'shadow' until they surrounded the shadow, and the 'shadow' in the middle of the house had no intention of doing anything else and slowly raised his hands, Olovia, Thomas and Resli stood on the periphery and faintly realized that the shadow was a woman by the dim light.

A woman in a tight-fitting leather coat, the corset effect of the clothes will outline her more prominent lines, lean, beautiful lines, the light is turned on to really see the face of this woman, long black hair, skin is a little dark, it is better to say brown, two cold eyes are unmoved expressions, and the bumpy body is a beauty embryo.

She looked at the nervous and excited guards in front of her, she slowly opened her mouth to reveal two fangs, showing the other party that she was the same kind of identity, but everyone did not let down their vigilance, she slowly lowered a hand, the movement was very slow so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and conflict, two fingers slowly took out a yellow medallion from her waist, raised it high in front of everyone. One of the guards waved to the other, motioning to get the sign that would prove her identity.

After receiving the medallion they were surprised, and looked at each other in surprise, and Olovia stepped forward to take the sign from the guard, looked at it, and then at the woman.

"Where did you get this brand?"

The woman's question to Olovia also showed a cold side, two ice-like eyes stared at Olovia, and said slowly, "Given by the lord." ”

Olovia looked at the logo on the sign carefully and said, "This family crest is our family crest, but it is a little different from the family crest, I have not seen it since I was born. ”

Thomas and Reslie also leaned over curiously, and the golden medallion was carved with a beautiful medieval European pattern, with a jumping unicorn and a lion holding a four-squared medieval round shield, and in each of the four corners of the four shields were four sharp swords, the top of the round shield was a crown and inside were the sword, the cross, the double-headed eagle and the knight's helmet.

"We don't have these four swords behind the four shields of our family coat of arms, can you explain?"

The woman looked at Olovia, and then fell on Thomas and Reslie next to her, she felt terrible when she saw the two of them, and there was a hint of murder in her cold eyes, although it was for a moment, it spread all over the body of the two, and she fell on Olovia's body again.

"Yes, you're right, we don't have a family 'secret', Miss Olovia."

Olovia seemed to understand, one hand on the guard's arm to signal them to put down the gun in their hand, she was her own, the guards slowly lowered the gun in their hands until the gun was inserted into the holster, but their eyes still did not leave her body, as if they would not hesitate to shoot if she made any dangerous move.

"Miss Olovia, I am on the orders of the head of the house to protect you on your way to Brecken, my name is Jorah. Garcia I am your personal bodyguard from now on, and it is my pleasure to protect you. After saying that, she put her right hand on her chest and bent down to salute.

Olovia stepped forward and helped Jorah who bowed, all her actions showed the dignity and courtesy of a nobleman, she led Jorah to Thomas and Resry, and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Resry, this is Thomas, we met on the road." ”

Jorah did not have any affection for the two, but looked at them with vigilance and contempt: "You are human. ”

"As you can see." Thomas, on the other hand, spread his hands out and showed that he didn't care.

And Jorah fell his eyes on Olovia again, "Miss, they are human, we shouldn't ......, not to mention this man's ......" Jorah glanced at Thomas, "He doesn't have the smell of pure human in his body." ”

Olovia didn't say anything, raised a hand to interrupt what she was about to say, and turned back to Thomas and Risery, "Miss Risery, Mr. Thomas, I'm sorry, I'd like to talk to Jorah alone. ”

After listening to this, Thomas still showed a cynical attitude, and spread his hands: "Okay." Be my guest. Resley didn't say anything, just nodded.

Jorah followed Olovia upstairs, and after the two sat down, Olovia asked first, "Jorah, we need to get to know each other well." ”

Jorah nodded in approval, "Miss, I know you have doubts about me, and I will tell you the truth." ”

"May I ask if the family crest in your hand is indeed a little different from any of our family crests, what is going on?"

"Yes, miss, I know what you mean, as you said, there are no sharp swords behind the four shields in the family, but as I said earlier, it is a family secret, and we belong to the secret force of the family."

"If I'm not mistaken, you just said 'we,' right?"

Jorah nodded slightly to confirm, "Yes, Miss, it may be that you are too young, the head of the family did not tell you about our existence, we do not exist in any records, this secret is passed on by word of mouth, we are not a new generation of vampires, we exist in the time of Duke Herbert, we are a total of 4 people, so behind the shield are four sharp swords." ”

"What?"

"Mademoiselle, don't be surprised, let me tell you slowly, the warriors we had been fighting with the Duke of Herbert, after Herbert became a vampire, disbanded the entire army until after the two families were over and the Duke of Herbert, in order to follow his teachings to the saint Paul, found us again and carried out against us. We also swear allegiance to the Herbert family, of course, this matter is completely confidential, please do not blame your mother, Herbert did not tell your mother in the first place, the purpose of our existence is to kill all the vampires who violate the rules of the family, that is, the vampires who eat human blood and the ambitions who are in the family's troubles. ”

"You are given blood, which means that you are vampires who have received the blood of the Ancestors other than the Elders?"

"Yes, this is your family's secret, no elder knows about this situation, we only belong to the Herbert family, and we only accept direct orders from the lord."

"Then your ability is ......."

"Hypnosis. And when I came, I also found out that you were being followed, by two human private detectives. ”

"Did you hear anything?" When Olovia heard this, Jorah shook her head and said that she had found nothing, and Jorah went to a cabinet and took out a bottle of wine from it, poured two glasses and handed them to Olovia, and they took a sip of wine.

"So you're our family's secret police?"

"Well, how to put it, so to speak, when Duke Herbert issued this rule, many people couldn't stand the thirst for blood, so we had to clean up these vampires who violated the rules, the four of us rotated every 50 years, and our privilege was only to investigate and kill the vampires who violated the rules, protect the safety of the Herbert family personnel and punish those in the family who were ready to plot against the family and subvert the family."

"What if the elder made an unforgivable mistake?"

"We won't kill them, we'll seal them and keep them in the dungeon forever." Olovia still had mixed feelings, admiring the Duke of Herbert's vision and determination, and on the other hand, she also felt dangerous, and now she knew that there was a pair of eyes staring at each of them in the dark.

"So, where are you?" Olovia asked curiously.

"We, we're in the castle, you've seen us." Jorah plays a dumb riddle, and Olovia is amazed.

"No way, I grew up in a castle, I walked around every corner of the castle, and I could walk to any room I wanted with my eyes closed."

Jorah smiled: "Of course, I don't deny this, but we are not in the light, but in the shadows, and we are hidden in the hall of the 'Council'. ”

"In the halls of the Council?"

"Yes, in those four pillars in the middle of the hall, you see?" After Jorah's reminder, Olovia suddenly realized, and before Olovia could ask again, Jorah took over the topic.

"Miss, those two humans are ......, especially that man, who has the power in his body that we all fear."

"Yes, that's what I'm going to tell you, there's an angel in that man's body."

Jorah was shocked by this, and although she was mentally prepared, the news was completely beyond her expectations, and she felt that this person was the culprit who had caused them to fall into the vortex of trouble.

"Jorah, you should know why I fled."

"Yes, miss, the head of the house has told me about these things, and I know your situation, and the person we are looking for is downstairs, and he will kill anyone in our room at any time."

"Yes, this is only one aspect, they met me by chance, I think it was arranged by fate."

"I don't understand."

"Well, we were threatened by the demon because of this person, not the angel, and they also came to us......" Listening to Olovia's words, Jorah showed a puzzled expression, "They want to find our family's legendary 'Death Rib', and the reason why Mother asked you to protect it is because the wolf clan has also received demon coercion and wants to kidnap me to make Mother hand over the 'Death Rib', do you think this is a simple coincidence?" ”

"Well, I see, this matter is not as simple as imagined, did you tell them that it is the person we want?"

Olovia shook her head, "No, if that named Thomas knows, we will probably be killed by angels, I don't dare to take this risk." ”

Jorah held her chin in one hand and said, "Yes." And the head of the family said that she thought there was a mole in the family. She sighed and said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, we can't get rid of them yet, I mean rush to get rid of them, because it is only a matter of time before he finds us, I have a more pessimistic idea that if they cooperate with the werewolves, then he and the werewolves have exactly the same purpose, and the final result is that they will cooperate to snatch the 'rib of death' first, and then unite against the demons, but at that time we are already finished, which is a big risk." ”

"Jorah, you mean to let them help us get rid of the werewolves?" Olovia's bold assumption.

Jorah nodded firmly, "Not only to get rid of but also to be a bodyguard, we must not clash with the angel during this period, in this way, we are very dangerous, he is now our 'double-edged sword' can hurt others and hurt ourselves, so we have to be cautious." ”

"We've got to talk about what to do."

"Risley, what did you just want to tell me?" Thomas asked in a low voice as he sat down on the couch and leaned closer to Resley.

"Rose, do you remember?" Resley cast a determined look.

Thomas thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know what you're going to say. ”

"Thomas, remember Add's prophecy?" Thomas nodded, motioning for Resley to be more detailed.

"Well, in the prophecy the weather represents the situation, the knight represents the vampire, the Orion represents the werewolf, what does the lady lying in the rose garden represent, and what is the rosary in her hand, and why the Orion is behind the wheat field and not the forest, in fact these are all meaningful."

Thomas seemed to slowly recall the meaning of Eddie's prophecy after being reminded by Risery, and before he could think of anything, Risery interrupted him, "More coincidentally, Lilith asked me to find 'the rose that is eternally attached to love', remember?" Is there a connection? Although Thomas couldn't remember Add's prophecy clearly, Lilith remembered the words very well, and Resley reminded Thomas to lean back on the couch with her hands crossed. Thomas put his fist on his mouth, his eyes looked directly at the ashtray on the table, the blue smoke from the cigarette on the edge of the ashtray, and the blue smoke rising from the gray-white soot rose higher and darker, as if to indicate that things were getting more and more confusing, and he had not yet figured out the origin of the 'death rib' and the 'rose' thing. Starting from the 'twins' thing, no, it should be said that from the beginning of the escape, everything that happened to me was so compact, I was like a chess piece, walking in my own square regularly according to every move, and placing it where I should be without deviation, is this my fate? More precisely, the fate of Affy Miller, are we really the variables in 'fate'?
