Luo Wei's clothes were already messy in the struggle, his lips were stained with Cethia's blood, his hands and feet were also held down, he couldn't break free, he couldn't even breathe for a while, and the suffocation of lack of oxygen made his face flush full of temptation.

I don't know how long it took, but after Cescia left, Luo Wei had a breather.

"Ahem... Ha..."Because there was too much haste before, Luo Wei had no defense, and was accidentally choked by blood, coupled with the lack of oxygen, at this time, the whole person covered his chest and kept coughing and panting, breathing in a big breath of air, and there were a lot of undried blood stains on his face, revealing a different kind of beauty.

Cethia stood up, re-tied the strap of her white shirt that had been shaken apart from the previous entanglement, wiped the blood from the corners of her lips with her slender fingers, and smiled: "Be good next time, you have wasted a lot." ”

Luo Wei was a little speechless, after this Cethia had a sense of autonomy, she felt more and more marginalized as the owner of the contract, she didn't move when he collected blood before, how did she become like this now.

"By the way, a reminder." Suddenly, Cethea's blood pupils became a little deep, like a sea of blood, and her voice was also attached to a magnetic low, "The church is hiding something from you. ”

Luo Wei was slightly stunned, his attention was attracted to the past, and he squinted his eyes and said, "What is it?" ”

"Something about Merritt, it's not as simple as it seems." Sethia looked at Luo Wei, fell into deep thought, shook her head slightly, and whispered deeply, "Do you remember that at Merritt's inn, you ordered me to guard next to you while you were resting, and then you fell asleep, and my body was suddenly manipulated by some kind of force, and I almost lifted the blood prison and slashed at you. ”

"What?!" Luo was shocked, is there such a thing?

Sercia was still a complete obedience at that time, and the imprint in her mind was still there, theoretically obeying his orders unconditionally, what kind of power could make her carry out the act of "killing the master"?

Luo Wei frowned and pondered for a while, and said, "Is it the suppression of the ancestor's bloodline?" The little wild cat was controlled by the ancestors. ”

"It's different, it's a low-level vampire who was first embraced, and my class is higher, my bloodline is purer, and the ancestor can only suppress my actions, not control me." Sethea shook her head, lowered her eyes in thought, and said in a low voice, "It's another power, a power that can affect the imprint of the contract. ”

The cube is the product of the "god", and the imprint implanted by the cube in Hu's mind also belongs to the power of the "god", if you want to affect this brand, it is by no means an ordinary creature can do it, at least in Luo Wei's cognition.

And what Sercia said was right, when the two met again, although she was suppressed by the ancestor's bloodline and couldn't fight, she could still control herself, so what kind of power could directly control her actions...

Obviously it can't be the power of the Ancestors, this is beyond the highest level of vampires!

If the power that Sethia says does not come from the Ancestors, by whom? Does the church know about this force? Or rather... Know this person?

Luo Wei didn't dare to jump to conclusions easily, if the church really deliberately concealed this matter, then there would be too many things involved.

Cethia suddenly said, "I'll give you a suggestion, go and get the fragments of the crown of thorns back." ”

"Crown of Thorns..."Luo Wei remembered the instrument that even the ancestors were in awe, the origin of this thing is unknown, but one thing is certain, it is an extraordinary product! The true power contained in it is unimaginable to ordinary people!

And Luo Wei vaguely felt that the disappearance of the "evolution point" in his dendroid diagram might be related to the crown of thorns, everything was fine before he put on the crown of thorns, but when he woke up again, there was a problem, obviously what happened in the process of being unconscious in the middle.

Luo Wei asked, "Where is the crown of thorns now?" ”

"Taken away by the church."

"Got it, come back, I'm going to the Vatican."

...

"Oh? Want that crown of thorns as a gift? Outside the main hall of the Vatican Chapel, Huo Anlisen was standing face to face with Luo Wei, his fingers lightly resting on his chin, and his slender eyes revealed a little doubt, "It was destroyed when it was found, and I don't quite understand what it can do to you." ”

Luo Wei replied calmly: "Don't bother, it's my own business." ”

Huo Anlisen heard the perfunctory meaning of Luo Wei's words, and after a pause, he nodded elegantly, put his right hand on the purple silk robe on his left chest, and said, "Please let me ask the Pope's opinion." ”

Nero didn't usually receive guests, and Luo Wei was first summoned individually because he helped the church repel the oathbreakers.

And this time in the matter of the ancestor, Nero personally came to the scene to resolve the conflict in the confrontation between the two sides, which has already given Luo Wei enough face, but it does not mean that Luo Wei can see it if he wants to.

Huo Anlisen entered the main hall, and after about fifteen minutes, he came out of it again, smiled gracefully at Luo Wei, and said, "Venerable Nero II has granted your request, and as an additional gift, we will also give the Vatican Mithril refined by the exorcist. ”

This extra gift surprised Luo Wei, the Mithril of the Church of the Cross is a necessity for making "Rose" bullets, and it would be very expensive to buy the finished product directly from there in the future, and it is just right to give it now, which greatly reduces the financial pressure.

It didn't take long for the church guards to bring up the gifts, and the gift of Mithril was ten catties, estimated to be enough to make hundreds of bullets, and Luo Wei unceremoniously put them all into the space bag.

Then there was the fragment of the crown of thorns, which had been collected by the church into a delicate sandalwood box, carved with many strange patterns, and a faint hint of darkness circulating, as if some kind of protective barrier had been applied.

Huo Anlisen picked up the sandalwood box and handed it to Luo Wei, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing an elegant smile: "This is a sealing enchantment imposed by the cardinal exorcist bishop to protect its safety, and it will automatically disappear after 24 hours." ”

Just when Luo Wei took the sandalwood box, Huo Anlisen suddenly increased the strength in his hand, squeezed the box tightly in his hand, and didn't let Luo Wei take it, and the two were frozen in the air.

Luo Wei raised his head suspiciously, and looked at Huo Anlisen's slender smiling eyes, the dark pupils were like an abyss, and there was a look that Luo Wei couldn't understand, for some reason, when he saw Huo Anlisen's smile, Luo Wei unconsciously thought that he was looking at a human skin mask, which was a little weird.

"Glory to my Lord." Huo Anlisen didn't say any superfluous nonsense, and let go of his hand, making people not understand the intention of the action just now, and the depth in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by the kind of chivalric elegance that was integrated into his bones.
