184. The Flower Capital of the Maiden and the Sky 07
Death or power, which one do you want?
There doesn't seem to be a direct connection between death and power, and if you put the two together, no one would choose the former. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Death is equal, no matter what kind of death is the sameβno matter how cruel and unjustified death is, it is still death after all. For people, meaningful money, fame, feelings, and philosophies are only meaningful in life, and death will deprive them of all equally, so death is terrible.
But if it were to be chosen by Mu Delett, he would rather die.
The selfish and evil Bloods had given him immense and unparalleled power, making him one of the few powerhouses in one fell swoop, and giving him the status of an elder on a par with his own family, all because of his rebellion, and with a smile in the face of an opponent whom he could never defeat, he aimed the muzzle of judgment at his brow.
"I love you, you who smile at the hope of despair, so I will give you the most precious gift."
The most powerful bloodline and great power.
He did not voluntarily become a Bloodline, and although he was a side of the famous "Dracula" lineage, the surname "Delett", he was unwilling to admit his relationship with the bloodline that is currently the largest in the world. To date, he had not dealt with any of the Bloods except the Bloodline, who claimed to be his "mother".
It's hard to imagine how he survived the purge of the Holy Land.
Fortunately for him, as long as he stayed in the 'warm' embrace of the Holy Land before, he didn't have to worry about the Blood Clan coming to trouble him.
And now it's different, the blood clan that is incompatible with the Holy Land has invaded the Holy Land again, even if the reason is unknown, Mu doesn't want to have anything to do with them anymore.
"Thurmyst... Why are these names of the blood clan so tongue-twisting? β
He flipped through the information that Serra had given him, which recorded information about several extralegal aliens that had been discovered, including two Bloods, two werewolves, an elf, a "magician" and... Mankind.
There are no photos, if only there were photos.
The number of humans on the alien side, including the magic envoys, is not small, and according to the information of the Holy Land, it is conservatively estimated that there are nearly 10,000 people.
Mu flipped through other materials.
This team of less than 10 people slaughtered thousands of resident priests in Winterfell's neighbors, Black Helmets, in 10 days. Among them, there are many warband-level priests who have survived the warlords of the last century, even Mu himself, he can't say that he wants to kill so many experienced priests without worrying about rounding up, let alone these weak alien races?
Mu thought of the Bloodline he had seen at the airport again.
In the information, Mu did not find the young Bloodline he met at the airport. It's not that the appearance is young, but the time to succeed in the blood clan is very short, and the meager blood clan breath is less than one-tenth of Mu's, presumably that girl has only become a blood clan in the past ten years, thinking of this, Mu didn't report the girl's information, and a young blood clan is not a big problem.
But... If...
Mu touched his right leg and didn't make a sound.
"Inform the garrison and the clergy that the curfew will be enforced from now on, and then inform the Night Clan that you have to be busy."
However, the young bloodline, called this heart leaf, was a little strange. What exactly is 'Castle in the Sky'? And what did she mean by what she said? He immediately looked up the information about the Bloodline. Soon he found information about the Bloodline in Midgard's profile, and he finally understood where his sense of disobedience came from. She is not a Bloodline, and according to the Hunters Ministry, she is supposed to be a demon summoned by the ancestors of a young girl named Charlene Norreki.
If she's a demon, the plane is too weak. However, its owner, Charlene Norreki, recently happened to be in the city of Endymion, not far from Winterfell, and it was only natural that she should be here. Merely...
He remembered the new cases brought by the aliens, so he set off for the block.
The gloomy alley, this place will be chosen to start the battle is also for the sake of concealment, Mu looked at the dead warrior's knife, where only a bare path of light and a handle torn by some force remained.
"There are three dead, it's standard for the night walkers," Mu pointed to the white line on the ground that marked the location of the deceased, "one of them had his internal organs shattered by the great force, and the strange thing was that there were only bruises on the surface of the body that didn't look serious. The remaining two had their limbs broken and their blood drained, and judging by the size of the tooth marks, there were two vampires who committed the murder, and they were larger in diameter. Both vampires are not small. β
"The injuries on the limbs are very similar to those of the other person, the bones are broken, but there are no injuries on the surface of the body."
"Oh, it reminds me of the violent consuls of the past," cried Caesar, "and I remember how many bones were broken. β
Caesar is one of the saints, which means the highest fighting power of the church, and J is also a saint, and his strange name is also given by God.
"Oh? You mean the "Hammer Messenger"? J also knew who Caesar was talking about.
β... That's right, this must be the person in the information, who has the ability of a priest and is a human being, but his true identity is unknown," Mu nodded, "There is one person on the other side who is a member of the Holy Land, and his status is not high. β
"How do you know?" Caesar was stunned for a moment.
"There was a report from the garrison team that during the inspection outside the city, there were suspicious human beings who came to inquire about the procedures for entering the city, and after hearing that blood was needed for examination, they left," Mu squinted, "Only a few high-level officials of the Holy Land know about the establishment of a blood sample checkpoint, and the number of people entering and leaving the city in the two months since the checkpoint was set up this year is zero. And I didn't make any announcements about the blood sample test, which was also after the application for entry procedures..."
"Hmm... Look at this," J touched the wall to the side, "here... There are bullet marks, and judging by the splashed potions, it may be a 'magic bullet shooter'. β
"Colt's .357, standard for the Nightwalkers... It's been checked, I guess there's nothing special, right? Mu asked a little puzzled.
"Has the equipment of the dead night walkers been checked?" J asked, "Do the rifling and bullets match?" β
"No, neither the gun nor the remaining bullets were found at the scene, presumably taken away by the aliens." Mu replied.
"Those aliens, either there are people who like guns, or... There's a guy with a gun," J stood up, "so he didn't have enough ammo so he took all the consumables, so it's better to prepare for the worst." But if it's a magic bullet shooter, then it's very troublesome. β
β... Well... Is it another alien race that is not recorded in the data? Mu muttered to himself.
"Again?"
"It's not clear yet, it's just my guess," Mu shook his head, "So... We're going to have at least one Hammer Striker, an alien race close to the Saints, and a gunslinger? β
"And two vampires and a magician." Caesar added.
"Didn't the surveillance catch anything?"
"No, it was ruined before it all started, and nothing was even recorded."
Mu shook his head.
"By the way, do you know the castle in the sky?" Mu asked.
"Castle in the sky?" Caesar paused for a moment, "You mean the legendary place where angels live?" I'm sure I've heard of it, the wreckage is still near the Longxi Grassland. β
"That is, there is no longer there?" Mu Leng paused.
"Well," Caesar said, glancing at J, then shrugged, "Actually, some of the magicians who recently left Endymion are frantically searching for news related to Sky City in this land. Do you remember the Holy Grail War? β
"Does that have anything to do with the Holy Grails?"
"Not at all, once there was a holy relic in this world, which was said to be able to grant any wish of mankind, and in order to compete for this one wish, every 60 years, seven people would gather in Winterfell, summon seven powerful 'messengers' to fight each other, and finally only one person could obtain the right to make a wish. But three hundred years ago, the Holy Grail was destroyed, and the specific reason is unknown, and here is the problem. The Holy Grail is supposed to have been destroyed, but just recently, a strange summoning array was observed in Winterfell that was as described in historical sources at the time, and could not be tracked. β
"That is...?"
"I was just thinking that Sky City might have something to do with this, you have to be careful, those people might attack you for this."
Assault on him? It's the funniest joke in the world. He nodded and said:
"Don't worry, there will be no problem."
Someday you will understand, my only family - the anxiety of constant victory, the pain of undefeated, the anguish of standing on the top and spreading your wings freely and freely, but feeling bonded. But you can't be bothered by those things, you have to win, I am St. Peter's spokesman on earth, you will not be afraid of the sun, you will be indomitable... Go, my only dependent, and create a world where my descendants can walk in the sun...

What is that? Mu found that his palms were already full of sweat... What are you holding? No, isn't that the cross of St. Peter that I have always worn on my body? The Holy Silver Cross was now covered with his sweat, and his silver-white pupils were gradually surrounded by crimson. The inverted cross, which is a decoration that is incompatible with the Holy Land.
"Hey, Shiro, what's wrong with you?" Caesar stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of his eyes.
"Ahh It seems to be a complication of "hypersomnia", nothing serious..."Mou lied, shaking his head a few times, throwing out the words that he didn't know who had said.
"Is it another hallucination?" Caesar pulled out a pack of cigarettes and threw it to Mu.
"Thank you," Mu smiled, took out his cigarette, shook his finger at the cigarette butt, and the bright flame flashed on his fingertips, lighting the cigarette, "There are still many mysteries about this incident... I suspect that the number of aliens is between 7 and 10, and based on what we already know, there are several kinds of injuries to the corpses of the dead clergy of the Black Helmets - the shattering of internal organs with no scars, the intense magic burns, the claws of some kind of animal - this one found two completely different tooth pitches and depths, including bite marks, and the scars of vampires biting through arteries, which are also different from the previous ones, plus the gunman J mentioned... There were at least seven of them. The number is up to 10 people, and there is certainly no logistic. β
"The gunner's ammunition is estimated to be difficult to replenish in the 'Desert of Sighs' before coming, no matter which city in the Holy Land, it must go through a cumbersome look before the guns and ammunition can be transferred from the headquarters... So the gunman's remaining ammunition can be said to be not much. β
J peeked inside the bullet hole, then stood up suddenly.
"Come and see! Over here! β
He pointed to the bullet hole.
"After the bullet hole hit the wall, it left something silver... It's dissipated a bit, but even then you can see... See the silver light inside? Not only a magic catapult shooter, but also a magic catapult shooter who has a lot to do with the Holy Land. β
"Silver... Looks like the gunslinger is ready to deal with the vampire. β
Mu frowned.
Holy Grail Wars, Castle in the Sky... Is it?
