Chapter 25: The Old Man (I)

July 1733 in the solar calendar Northern Continent

July is the height of summer, but in the depressed northern continent, in the middle of the barrier without the Holy Capital and the shelter of the Vampire City, the breath of death still makes it cold. Ghouls roam this land, and the dead are exposed to this land, this is a forbidden place for the living, a carnival for the dead.

But today there stood a man in this land, her face covered by black robes, the short knife in her hand was burning with fire, and the remains of several ghouls lay at her feet, charred black marks from the flames, and it looked like there had been some fighting. The man kept his hand warm by the short knife that was burning on fire, and strangely the flame would not have burned her sleeve.

She always stood here, neither advancing towards the vampire city nor retreating back into the confines of the Holy Capital, occasionally a ghoul approaching her, but this was only a remnant of the ground, depending on what the person was waiting for.

The cold wind would not pity the lonely waiter, and the flaming dagger did not last long, and the man had to continue rubbing magic powder to maintain the temperature. Eventually, when the magic powder ran out, she wrapped her magic robe and shivered in the wind, "This slut..."

Fortunately, in the end, she did not return empty-handed, and although it was a long time, the person she was waiting for finally appeared. From the direction of the vampire royal city, there was a real person, who was wearing a simple cloak and walked without hurrying.

"Can you hurry up?" said the waiter's tone impatiently.

"I've kept you waiting, Natalia. Taking off his hood, Z's face was exposed.

"If you come later, I'll freeze to death here. Half joking and half complaining, Natalia turned to the side and motioned to follow her, "Did the talk with Queen Nephia go well?"

"She is also quite pitiful, it took half a year to recover, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to sign a contract. Z said and laughed.

"Now you can tell me what the contract is? I've prepared my body for you twice. Natalia asked Z.

"We have been inseparable good sisters for half a year, how can we still talk so vigorously now. Z said and took the initiative to touch Natalia's face.

"Don't..."Holding Z's hand, Natalia's hand shrank, looking nervous.

"Are you still afraid of the body you made for me?" Z laughed again as he looked at Natalia's flustered appearance.

"In the past six months, I have a new understanding of you, thinking about the method every day to torment me, so that nothing around me can not be warmed up, and I also take advantage of my sleep to do things. Looks like you're having a lot of fun doing it. Rubbing her hands together, Natalia is really cold right now.

"I can't say I'm happy, I should say I'm used to it. Z put away the playful expression, "It's like the original agreement, I'll tell you the contents of the contract." She motioned for Natalia to crouch down, and then began to write with her fingers on the dirt floor, and she wrote out the agreement between the demon god and the vampire, "How?"

"It's... I really don't know what to say. This involves God, which surprised Natalia, "You actually told me everything, aren't you afraid that I will tell the church?"

"Don't be afraid, if it really starts, vampires are nothing more than cannon fodder. It doesn't affect anything.

And you tell them that nothing will change, they can't deal with the vampire queen. Z knows this very well, so he has no scruples.

"Who would have thought that the person who said this was the former coadjutor of the church..."Natalia raised her eyes to look at Z's face, although it was an illusion, but the appearance was exactly the same as that of Zhuo Coconut when she was alive.

"I didn't betray the church, I just wanted to see the truth behind the world, what God was going to do, what faith really was, I just wanted to find out. Facing his friends before his death, Z said something from his heart.

"Hmph. Natalia didn't answer, "I owe you a favor." ”

"I never cared about that, I'm dead, why bother with this. Z smiled, and she got up and motioned for the nightingale to continue walking, and she wiped the words on the ground.

"I didn't really like you when you were alive, to be honest. Natalia glanced at her.

"But we used to have a good time working together. Z wasn't upset by Natalia's words.

"You always don't follow the rules, and Facius is different. Natalia muttered, looking at the Holy Capital with her arms folded.

"That's why you take good care of my disciples. Z raised an eyebrow.

"Uh, a little. Natalia was a little embarrassed to be asked by Z, "We worked together... It's also enjoyable. ”

"It's okay, that little girl is not mature enough, and it's normal that you can't get used to it. Z sighed, "If only I could hold on a little longer." ”

"The injuries you suffered in the War of the Dead were fatal, and all these years have been earned, be content. Natalia heard Z say that these expressions were not very good-looking.

"Yes. Z nodded when he heard this.

"Zhuo Coconut Silk. At this point, Natalia suddenly called her real name.

Obviously, Z shuddered a little, and her expression suddenly became painful, but looking at Natalia, she didn't say anything.

And Natalia also stopped, she looked at Z with a serious expression, "You really didn't betray the church, did you... Can you swear? Swear by your name. ”

"I can swear that no matter what I become, I will never betray the Church, much less the Father. Z raised his hand with an oath, "This contract, the purpose of the demon god is not the father, I learned from the secret word church that Lukad himself has never betrayed the father, and what he wants should be just an explanation." ”

"I hope what you said is true, if one day, the Demon God's intentions are really found to be against the Father, I want you to tell the church. Natalia was skeptical of her words, but in the face of Zhuo Yesi, she chose to believe, it should be said that she could only believe it. The Church of the Divine Word cannot go into trouble with the secret words based on the words of the deceased alone, and the armistice agreement is still very binding, and there must be evidence. But now there are more troublesome things, and I can't take care of this side.

"Of course. Z nodded.

"That's good. Natalia laughed along with her, "Then I'm glad that there is still a you in the secret words." ”

"You're saying this as if I'm going undercover... I'm not that kind of thing. Z reminded her.

"I know. Natalia nodded, motioning for her to move on, "Something big is going on in the south."

Finish. You shouldn't know about vampires these days. ”

"What's the matter?" Hearing that it was a big deal, Z's tone became a little nervous.

"The dragon appeared and attacked many places, and half of Yunnell fell, and other countries were also attacked. Natalia said about the current situation.

"How so... Are there any moves between the Sanhedrin and the Church?" asked Z nervously.

"It's all moving, fighting against the dragon, and your disciple was also sent to the front line to fight, and he was seriously injured, but his life was not in danger. "Natalia took Yaslanley's fight lightly.

"She's okay," Z's expression could be seen, and she was still worried about Yass Langley.

"It's okay~ Look at you like this, she is so powerful, she killed a dragon envoy, and now she is the hero of Yunner. Natalia soothed her.

"That's good... Now the one I don't worry about the most is her. Z sighed, "And what about your nightingale? What are you doing? I'm calling you now... Isn't it inconvenient. Looking at Natalia, Z said apologetically.

"Don't worry, all the nightingales are on standby, I won't let them do the thieves' things, as for my own disciple, I sent her to the front, after all, she still owes the warrior guild favors, so let's pay it back." At the mention of Saiya, Natalia also had some worry on her face.

"Look at you, you're no better than me. Z looked at Natalia's appearance and smiled.

"Teachers are all the same, treat them as their own children forever. The nightingale smiled wryly.

Having said that, the two of them had reached the edge of the Holy Capital Enchantment.

"You don't want to be attached to me anymore? I'm afraid this skeleton won't be able to get in. Natalia looked at Z's appearance and was a little worried, although Z looked like a human, this body was actually just a skeleton, and it should not be able to pass through the barrier.

"I'll try. Now I'm not afraid of being discovered by Modrella, I don't care. Z said as he touched his hand to the barrier, only to see that the bones that had reached into it began to burn, "Purifying Fire...", Z quickly pulled his hand out.

"It's ironic that the former vicar couldn't even enter the Holy Capital. Natalia originally wanted to laugh at Z when she said this, but when she mentioned the vicar, she thought of Facius again, so she glanced at the Holy Diocesh in the distance, "The current vicar is in a very bad state now." ”

"Facius... He overloaded his body at that time ... He's not too young, really! Think you're young, and a restoration of the Holy Word would be fine?" Z frowned, as his successor, Z was very satisfied with Facius, but his temper made Z helpless.

"Maybe he'll be with you?" said Natalia, quipped.

"Impossible, his character will never resurrect him. Frowning, Z looked at the nightingale, "When you return to the Holy Capital, say hello to him for me, and then teach him a few more words for me." With a helpless face, Z also glanced at the Holy Parish, where she had been there for many years, but now she could only look at it from afar.

"Are you really not going in anymore?" Natalia invited again.

"Forget it. Z shook her head, and she began to walk along the edge of the barrier after speaking, "I'll go back from the waterway, and walk with me for a while." ”
