As soon as he pushed the door open, the scorching light made Lei extremely uncomfortable, who had been running in the dark for a long time, and he closed his eyes for several seconds before he gradually adapted to the bright light environment.

The inside of the church was brightly lit, the eight rows of candlesticks on the walls on both sides, the four large chandeliers on the ceiling had all been lit, and even the candles that the parishioners usually used to pray were lit one by one and erected on the back of the chairs. It seems that someone has prepared in advance.

In front of the altar under the giant paulownia cross, a bishop and two priests sat in front of the altar, and on the two rows of benches in front of the altar sat about 20 people dressed in clerical robes. All of them had their backs to the doorway, their heads hanging forward, and from their posture they looked like they were praying.

"Hello. Ray asked cautiously, not wanting to spoil the holy, tranquil atmosphere, "Excuse me, have you ever seen a vampire...... Well, have you ever seen a man with red hair and black clothes, he just ran into here. ”

After waiting for a moment, and receiving no response, Ray added, "The man's hands were cut off." Have you seen him?"

But the result is still silence.

Ray couldn't help it anymore and walked forward. The boots stepped on the floor, making a "knock" and "knock" sound, which was particularly loud in such a quiet church.

"Hello, may I ask ......" Ray walked behind a priest sitting on a bench and politely patted the other man on the shoulder.

Unexpectedly, before Lei could say the following words, the priest's body actually fell to the ground with a "porphy" in the direction of Lei's force.

"What's wrong with you?" Ray quickly bent down, apologizing and helping the priest up, "I'm sorry, I ...... just now"

Halfway through the sentence, he stopped again, for the priest's body in his hand was so light, incredibly light. Ray immediately turned the priest over, and suddenly, the pale expression was enough to explain the horror of Ray when he saw this face.

It was a dehydrated, dry, cracked, gray face, with sunken eyes and lips slightly open, as if to tell the world about his unwillingness to die!

Gently putting down the dried corpse in his hand, Ray stood up and looked over at the other clergy sitting around, and sure enough, they couldn't have answered Ray's question from the beginning, because they had become a lifeless, hideous-looking corpse.

Suddenly, the space less than two meters behind Lei distorted without warning, and the aware Lei lifted his spear and rolled forward two times in a row, opening up a distance from the distorted space, and when he turned around and sprinted, the female vampire with her long cyan hair tied into a ponytail had completely emerged in the spatial crack.

"If you want to pursue Leon, I advise you not to waste your efforts. Compared with Ray's highly nervous vigilant posture, the female vampire Melissa maintained her usual calm and cold look, "I have sent Leon to a safe place to heal, you will never find it." But you don't have to worry either, because Leon is already out of the game. ”

"I don't have time to play any games with you!" Ray pointed to the dried corpses around him, and asked Melissa solemnly, "We were careful along the way, we didn't accidentally hit a bat, why did you kill so many people?"

"You're wrong, handsome little man. Melissa smiled, "It's not me who killed everyone in this church, it's your 'great' king, I'm just sucking the superfluous, wasted blood on their corpses." ”

"What?" said Ray, "was it Duris who killed the people in this church?"

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

"I didn't expect that your small kingdom would form such a big bond with the Central Church. Under the threat of the destruction of the city by our blood clan, ordinary people usually look for the Central Church to help, but you did the opposite, instead of turning to the Central Church for help, you immediately sent troops to clear all the strongholds they set up in the city. ”

After listening to Duris's account of his grievances with the Central Church, the Vampire Prince nodded approvingly.

"If it weren't for the fact that the Central Church was bullying people too much, I wouldn't have done this. Duris put down his glass and shook his head helplessly, "In the underground intelligence station that I have been targeted, there must be some innocent people who have nothing to do with the Central Church, but time is pressing, and it is no longer possible to screen them one by one. ”

"A ruler must know how to decide, weigh things on the scales, and decisively give up the lesser ones, which is what a king who can do great things should do. Blindly following the rules and being bound by secular morality and principles is not benevolence at all, but only indirectly harming the country and the people. Just like that nephew of mine. ”

"Could it be your nephew, the last monarch of the Thumiro Empire, Mondrien the Great?"

"The Emperor? haha...... Later generations even gave Mondrien's yellow-mouthed child the name of 'the Great'. If he could learn a tenth of his father's determination, how could my great Thumiro Empire be buried at the hands of the Central Church?"

The father of Mondrien the Great, the last emperor of the Thumilo Empire, was the elder brother of Edward Thumiro (now the bloodsucking prince Dekra), and Edward lost to his brother in the battle for the throne between the brothers, losing the throne that should have belonged to him, but from the words of the current vampire prince, it seems that he does not resent his brother, but appreciates his brother's methods and talents.

"Whether it is recorded in the wild history or the official history, the fall of the Shumiro Empire was due to the war with the forest elves, but now I know that those elves are carrying the black pot for the Central Church. "The history that has been handed down for more than a thousand years is bound to be wrong, but there can be no mistake in the personal account of the person concerned." ”

"Yes, the Central Church is more terrible than you can imagine, even the extremely powerful Shumiro Empire was ruined by them, and now you are leading a small kingdom against them. Should I praise your bravery or mourn your ignorance?" the Vampire Prince looked at Duris and narrowed his eyes in a line, "Yesterday you destroyed their Tower of the Seven Sins, and tomorrow they will use even more powerful weapons against you. How long will your little kingdom be able to withstand it?"

The words of the vampire prince hit the nail on the head. Lost in thought, he remembered the red-skinned top-secret document that had been sent to his desk a few days earlier: a report on the "woods," an espionage network that had been planted within the Papal Dominion and had been carefully operated for many years, had been completely destroyed overnight. Now Duris is like being blinded in both eyes and pierced in both ears for the Central Church, which makes the already quite serious hostile shape even worse.

In fact, Duris ordered the targeted elimination of all the underground intelligence stations of the Central Church in Hansar City, including the Somendir Church, not only to block the news of the vampire's appearance in the city, but also to take revenge on the destruction of the "woods".

But now the matter of the Central Church has to be put on hold for the time being, because the "game of death" in front of us is even more important.

Suddenly there was a series of "Pu Pu Pu" sounds outside the window, and Du Lisi hurriedly walked to the window. Although it was dark outside, Duris could clearly make out the sound of a large group of bats gathering in the blood night, and the direction of the bat swarm was where the church of Somendir was located.

"It seems that those little imps have already been carried by someone Melissa. The Prince of Vampires also came to the window and stood beside Duris.

"Is this Melissa, whom you call the 'Bat Queen,' capable of controlling all the more than 800,000 Blood Night Bats in this city?" asked Duris.

"It's not control, it's command. The Vampire Prince corrected, "Melissa is even more dangerous than Leon. Which Cheng dù can those little ghosts be able to resist? ”

21：11。

"Bang", "Bang", "Bang", "Bang......

A series of loud noises can be heard from inside the church of Somendir, which is particularly harsh in the dead of night.

The interior of the church seems to have been visited by a group of pirates who have not been ashore for more than half a year, and the word "a mess" seems to be lacking in words.

"Huhuhuhuhu......"

Panting and sweating profusely, Ray finally stopped his sprint, and for more than twenty minutes before that, he had tried his best to attack, but the tip of his spear never touched the corner of the enemy, the female vampire Melissa.

"Tired, little handsome, no one taught you to be polite in front of ladies?" said Melissa in a semi-mocking tone.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ray raised his gun and glared at Melissa, "I'm going to defeat you here, and then defeat that vampire prince who doesn't know where to hide, and drive all you vampires out of Hansha City!"

"Beat me? Melissa sneered, "Haven't you noticed? just now you launched a fierce offensive without a single blow, while I kept retreating and defending, and never fought back at all. ”

"So what?"

"You should have enough time to see the difference in strength between you and me, I'm not something you can fight against. ”

"Shut up!" Thunder roared and hurled his spear at Melissa.

Melissa sneered sideways to avoid it, this kind of Cheng Dù's throwing gun was not enough to hurt her......

"Smack"!

What happened next was something Melissa hadn't expected. Just as she avoided the thrown steel spear, Ray had already rushed in front of her, at that moment, Ray's speed exceeded the Blood's sensing ability, Melissa couldn't avoid the punch that slammed into her face, her body was like a kite off the line, and under the strength of Ray's fist, it flew backwards 8 or 9 meters away, and slammed into the wall of the church, knocking the stone wall to crack on the spot, and the whole church was slightly shaken.
