Chapter 178: The River of Sorrow (9)

Swain was silent for a moment, then continued: "You want to know why Baron Deniz became me, right, in fact, he hasn't changed anything, it's just that you think of him as completely me. However, people will doubt themselves, even you, so you can see through that. ”

Manfred stared blankly at Swain, as time passed, more and more of his memories had been erased, and now many things had disappeared from his mind.

"Your nation is gone, and the source of sustaining you and giving you unending strength is gone, Manfred, and now you are no longer unkillable. Swain took out a silver ring from his pocket and threw it at Manfred's shoulder, the strength of his wrist was strong enough, and he threw the ring directly into Manfred's flesh and blood, making a hole in Manfred's shoulder, "Look, now you have lost the power that your people have given you, and now you have no strength other than the power of your own vampire, Manfred, you lost." ”

Manfred lowered his head and looked at the bloody hole in his shoulder, which was emitting scorched smoke, vampires were afraid of silver after all, and without the immortality given by the undead of the Franconians, Manfred could no longer ignore the weaknesses of those vampires.

"My nation ......," he looked up and looked blankly at Swain, "What's that?"

Looking at the hideous face with a confused expression, Swain knew that Manfred had completely forgotten about the Franconians, that all the past of this people, including Manfred's own experiences, had been forgotten, and that the current Manfred AlcΓ‘dor von Nosferatu was just a vampire who had lived a little longer.

"yes, what's that?" Swain stood up, shook his coat, and pulled out the staff that belonged to Count Hecate as if by magic, "But, even if you know, what's the point? ”

The scarlet river was gone, the wailing spirits of the undead had turned into bits of orange light, and the only traces left by Manfred and the Franconians were the magic circle still in motion, and the remains of the black crows and blood bats that had been defeated by the battle. Black feathers and red bat wings covered the ground around the vicinity, like silt left behind by the receding river, and Manfred turned his head blankly and glanced at the mess on the ground, he felt as if he knew what they were, but the hollowness in his mind only gave him a headache, and he couldn't think about it.

"Die here, Manfred. Swain lifted his staff and took a step forward, the handle of which stabbed Manfred's heart with precision.

Manfred lowered his head and looked at his bubbling blood, he didn't feel pain, although he was subconsciously afraid of the cane, but now Manfred couldn't feel the threat of death from it.

"I'm not going to die here. Manfred grabbed the cane, which surprised Swain a little, it seemed that Count Hecate's cane did not have the restraining effect on Manfred as he expected, "This time you will win, I don't want to fight you anymore, it doesn't make any sense anymore." ”

After saying that, Manfred's body suddenly exploded, turned into a blood-colored bat in the sky, and flew towards the northeast.

Swain withdrew his hand, silently watching in the direction Manfred had left. He didn't chase after him, because Swain knew that Manfred was no longer a threat now, and that another enemy had taken advantage of the opportunity to grow stronger.

"Atropos, this time, it's cheaper for you......"

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

When those wailing spirits appeared in the sky, the undead who attacked Viscount Jericho's mansion became more and more ferocious, as if they had been instructed to regard this side as their primary target, and these undead stormed the mansion frantically, even ignoring the living people in the neighboring block, and rushed into Sinjid's defenses.

However, the strange man's strength was indeed strong, and he was still able to cope with the undead who were surging like a tide, and not a single undead could pass under his sword. And Sinjid, who had been standing behind him, just smiled and watched the strange man's performance, and did not mean to help in the slightest.

However, behind Sinjid, Victoria also watched the two men from the window on the second floor. She wasn't as naΓ―ve as her mother, and she would easily trust the good intentions of others, not to mention that Sinjid's appearance with that weird man couldn't put people at ease.

"Ramrem," she asked, turning to the maid beside her, "do you think that strange man seems to be a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere?" ”

The maid had the same cold face as ever, and in response to the young lady's question, she only glanced at Victoria with slanted eyes, and then replied, "Do you know such a person, young lady?"

Victoria was stunned, and although she did have a group of friends, she would never hang out with such a person. However, she still felt that this person was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

"Really, if only I could see his face. Victoria grumbled, because the corners of the weirdo's mouth were sealed by armor, and she couldn't read the guy's face clearly.

While they were talking, Sinjid in front of the gate suddenly moved, and he, who had not made a move, suddenly rushed to the pile of undead as if he had discovered something. Victoria and Ramrem watched from afar, as Sinjid seemed to have taken something out of the bag around his waist and smashed it into the pile of the undead, and a large number of the undead in that area suddenly fell.

Because there were too many undead, Victoria and Ramrem in the back did not see the specific situation on Sinjid's side. Singid also knew that there was someone behind him watching him, and he didn't care, but when he saw Baron Deniz suddenly appear in the sea of the dead, he had to save him. If there is only one Victoria behind him, then it doesn't hurt even if Singid declares a personal vendetta at this time, but there is still a Ramrem here, and he knows that Ramrem has another identity.

Having driven the undead away, Sinjid immediately grabbed Baron Deniz and ran back with him. The old baron appeared here abruptly just now, although Sinjid is more proficient in alchemy, but he is not ignorant of magic, from the old baron's sudden appearance he can guess, it should be Swain who used teleportation to teleport him.

"Hmph, Your Excellency, your teleportation technique is still so inaccurate. Sinjid chuckled, dodging the undead and hiding under the cover of the weirdos.

Seeing that Sinjid had actually saved someone, Victoria immediately rushed downstairs. Ramrem, on the other hand, looked coldly at Sinjid in front of the window before slowly following Victoria.

"Who is he?" Victoria, who rushed to the gate, hurriedly asked, although she didn't know the person Sinjid, but Victoria judged by her feelings that the person who would make this strange guy suddenly save should have something to do with Sinjid, so that she could at least confirm whether what Sinjid said was true from the identity of this person.

"Head of Count Jericha's house, Baron Deniz. Ramrem walked up behind Victoria and answered her question, "Count Jericho's henchman." ”

Although Manfred looked at Baron Deniz with the exact same face as Swain, it was the result of Atropos' transformation of his consciousness, and Baron Deniz was still so old in the eyes of others.

When Ramrem said that Baron Deniz was Count Jericho's confidant, Singid couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Ramrem, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Victoria didn't notice this, and her attention was still on the identity of Baron Deniz. "It's Jericho too...... People from the Earl's house?" she looked surprised, "what the hell is this...... Do you know anything, what does this chaos have to do with you!"

Sinjid pursed his mouth, seemingly dissatisfied with Victoria's tone. "Pay attention to your wording, I do serve His Excellency Count Jericho, but do not speak as if we have caused this upheaval. ”

Victoria was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something, but suddenly heard a huge explosion from the north, and the sky-high flames even dispelled the wailing dead spirits in the sky in an instant.

"It's the Upper River District, what's going on?" Victoria's attention was immediately drawn to the sound of the explosion, "Could it be that these things are also in the Upper River District? Oh my God, is there a safe place in the Imperial Capital?"

The explosion was so loud that even Madame Jane, who was in the house, heard it and hurried out. "What's going on?" she hurried to see Victoria and Ramrem, fearing they had been hurt in some way.

"We're fine, Mother. Victoria reassured Mrs. Jane, "It's the movement over there in the Upper River District." ”

"Shanghe District?" Mrs. Jane looked a little puzzled, not quite understanding what was going on over there, "What's the matter?" ”

Madame Jane saw Baron Deniz lying on the ground, and hurriedly said, and she also instructed Ramrem to fetch the towel, looking very concerned.

Victoria opened her mouth, but didn't speak. She knew that her mother had done this with good intentions and that there was no reason to object to it, but Victoria always felt a little uneasy when she heard Ramrem say that it was Count Jericha's confidant. In the end, it was Ramrem who took the initiative to inform Madame Jane of the identity of the old baron, but Madame did not react at all.

At the beckoning of Madame, several of the male servants who came out of the house also hurriedly lifted Baron Deniz and carried him into the house, but, perhaps because their movements were too great, the old baron, who had been fainting, woke up at this time.

Seeing that Baron Deniz had woken up, Madame Jane immediately asked the servants to put the old baron down, and then leaned over to him, and asked, "How are you, is it okay, are there any injuries?"

Baron Deniz opened his eyes and immediately recognized Madame Jane's identity, and there was a hint of surprise on his bloodstained face, but this surprise was immediately replaced by pain.

"It's you...... So, this is Ernest...... It's Viscount Jericho's mansion, right?"

Madame Jane was stunned for a moment, she did not know the relationship between the old baron and Ernest, but she couldn't help but get nervous when she suddenly heard the old baron mention her husband.

"Do you know what happened to Ernest? he hasn't been heard from in days, nothing has happened?" asked Madame Jane hurriedly, speaking so fast that even Victoria couldn't hear it for a while.

The old baron coughed, Manfred's shot did penetrate his body, it can be said that with his age, it is already a miracle that he can survive now, not to mention that in the previous fight with Yang, Baron Deniz was also injured a lot, this time secretly following Swain to Deweide, it was already a very reluctant thing.

"I'm sorry, ahem, I don't know what's going on over there, but Viscount Jericho shouldn't be in danger of life, at least I'm sure he's alive. ”

Hearing Baron Deniz say this, Madame Jane breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you here?" asked Victoria at once, "Count Jericho must be living in Karin Castle, why did you suddenly appear here, what are these strange things that are happening today, can you give me an answer?" ”

The old baron turned his head with difficulty, and he saw Victoria at a glance, and recognized her identityβ€”it was so easy to recognize, and in any case, Victoria and Sophia were twins, and their faces were almost identical.

"I don't think it's necessary. The old baron shook his head with a wry smile, then glanced at Sinjid, "None of us will remember today's events." ”

Victoria was stunned and wanted to ask something more, but at this moment, the scarlet light curtain in the sky suddenly dimmed, and it looked like it was about to disappear.
