CHAPTER XXIII
Vincent still had his back to Daniel as if he had just done and gently played with the pale golden hourglass in his hand, letting the golden sand flow irregularly, he felt Daniel's footsteps and said with a smile: "Daniel, do you think the Demon God can control the time?" Vincent didn't look up at him, just lowered his head and muttered softly, as if not expecting Daniel to say anything, and turned to place the hourglass on the table.
Daniel was slightly stunned, his lips moved and he was interrupted by Vincent just as he wanted to speak, and then just when he wanted to answer, he saw that Vincent had already turned around, his hands crossed and stacked on his chest, "You can tell me your intention to come, I will listen to what you say this time 'calmly'." Vincent looked at Daniel's suddenly blue face and said jokingly.
He and Angus are not in the same system, and the two of them have no superior-subordinate relationship, of course, they can't give the low-level blood warrior in front of him any good look, with the unscrupulous attitude and expression he just came in, if Daniel hadn't said that he had something important to talk about with Vincent, Vincent would have dismantled him and fed him to the flesh puppet.
After all, it was his beloved 'toy', and the one called Daniel in front of him was just a low-level cannon fodder. There are many low-level blood warriors like this in the church, countless mortals are ignorant and want to squeeze in, like the guy in front of him who only acts in a small place, Vincent has seen many of them when he presided over blood sacrifices in remote areas, and there are many... Vincent touched his head, and he couldn't quite remember how to deal with it, probably dead, he tapped his head lightly.
"My lord, it was actually me who tried to contact Lord Angus on the way to the road, but found that he had lost contact, I was afraid that something would happen, and I had no choice but to come to you." Daniel lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully, at some point he had regained his peaceful and even flattering look.
Vincent rubbed his forehead, "That said, you didn't even have the courage to come to this secret stronghold to find me?" Do you understand what happens if you spoil the church's major affairs? Vincent's last tone was incomparably hideous and cold, as if a gust of wind was blowing in the closed room.
"It's... That's rightβ" Daniel explained, stammering a little, barely standing up straight, looking down at the ground.
"Oh! So you suspect that someone else was involved in sabotaging Angus's operations over there? Vincent pressed his hands to the edge of the table with interest, and half-stood up and asked Daniel, "And it's not a bug, is it?" There are so many guys involved? β
Daniel hesitated for a moment, looked at Vincent's hideous and fanatical and bloodthirsty expression in front of him, and nodded with difficulty, "It should be, otherwise Lord Angus would not have lost contact in a short period of time, and even I suspect that Lord Angus has dedicated himself to the Lord..."
Vincent selectively ignored Daniel's hesitant and hesitant expression, "Actually, I have long been extremely dissatisfied with Angus's actions in the area", Vincent licked his lips excitedly, almost jumped up from the chair with joy, and said with his hands dancing: "He is too careful, his gifts to the great Lord are too few, those mortals are like livestock, after cutting a batch, they will give birth to a batch, incomparably efficient and fast." β
Dense scarlet threads suddenly appeared in Vincent's eyes, twisting and wriggling, condensing into a mass of scarlet blood-colored vortices, and began to spin endlessly.
He turned his head and smiled sinisterly, staring at Daniel deadly, "Do you think I'm right?" We should make a big move, and then it's like a big feast, and we will offer those bugs and delicious desserts to our Lord, and... Then we will have unimaginably great powers and gifts, and it is not impossible to even ascend to the sky in one step..."Vincent thought wildly, waving his hands around Daniel as if he were crazy.
Daniel stood in place, cold sweat soaking his whole body, and it was not easy to stay in the body of a monster suspected of being alive with a madman and pervert, Daniel could only pretend to be extremely agreeable and nodded his huge head, indicating that he could not agree more.
Then he felt a warm snort in his ear, "Why, I don't think you're so excited and excited, Daniel?" Don't you like it? The cold tone with an incomparably rich bloody aura instantly plunged into Daniel's heart like a sharp knife, making his whole body tremble.
"No... There are no adults, I'm just too happy, too excited, I don't know what to say. Daniel looked straight ahead solemnly, and said categorically with an unchanging face.
"Oh," Vincent's voice faded away, and Daniel seemed to hear the slight rattle of the door opening, "Then I'll leave the preliminary work to you, find those bugs, lure them into this city, into this great city that I have been running for decades, and then dedicate them all, one thing left to our great Lord, Lord of the Blood Demon God, and let me, the honorable and noble Priest Vincent, Lord of the Provincial City of Galint, ascend to heaven in one step!" Vincent's pale face glowed with a different glow in the slightly gloomy sky, like a child, innocently imagining a bright future.
But Daniel didn't dare to underestimate the old monster with the appearance of a teenager in front of him, he nodded respectfully, bowed his head and said yes, "Understood, Lord Vincent, that Lord Angus..."
"Let him die! If he pops up to contact you again, then... I'm going to kill him myself!" Return him to the bosom of the Lord! Now here's where I have the final say! What do you think, dear Daniel? Vincent turned his head gently, and looked at Daniel, who was covered in cold sweat after hearing these words.
"Well... Yes, my lord, your solution couldn't be better, and I couldn't agree with your wise decision! Daniel raised his hands and said supportively, silently sneering in his heart, Lord Angus, it's not that I didn't try to save you, or I want to avenge you, but now the situation is really stronger than people...
"Then you should go" Looking at Daniel's cowardly appearance, Vincent pouted, "I'll give you my 'cute' little toy Tim, I hope you won't let me down, Daniel, I believe that it is enough to bring them in with a bait like yours, Tim just played the role of a supervisor, yes!" You get the idea! β
When Daniel passed by Vincent, Vincent said coldly, and then saw Daniel nod stiffly and walked straight out, without looking back...
