Dracula was awakened by a sharp bang, and he opened his eyes with a sense of confusion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Someone's knocking?" he sat up, rubbing his dry eyes, looking around and asking questions, wanting to see the man.
It's still the same house, and since that night, Dracula and Fina have lived together in this house, and although it is small and simple, but with the care of the two of them, it now has the style of a serious house, decorated everywhere. Dracula pulled a mat and put it on the ground, and Fina made a mattress for him, which served as Dracula's bed for several years.
Dracula gradually saw his surroundings clearly, and looked at the gate and was about to get up, when a shadow crossed by him, his long black hair fell, and the tip of the hair rubbed against Dracula's left cheek, and he could smell the fragrance of flowers.
"I heard you wrong," Fina walked up to Dracula and squatted slightly, she was wearing a long pink pajama with a burlap covering her shoulders, as if she had just woken up from a dream, "I've been to see it, no one knocked on the door, it's rain, it's raining quite heavily today." ā
"That's right. Dracula nodded, he was unconditionally convinced by Fina's words, and at the moment Fina was crouching in front of him, this angle just blocked his view, in other words, she occupied Dracula's entire field of vision, but Dracula liked this, which would give him the feeling that Fina was the whole world.
"It's a little cold today, you wear thicker, I'm about to boil hot soup," Fina said with a smile, "It's easy to get cold in this weather, so I want to make medicinal food, but there is something missing at home, can you go out and buy it?"
"Okay, I've just woken up and I'm not releasing my whole body," Dracula replied with a clear smile, he patted his chest and said that he was wrapped up in himself, "I will finish it as fast as I can, and it will be regarded as a workout." "He has not slackened his exercise in the past few years, and now his body is as strong as a big buffalo.
He had felt anger and unwillingness in the cold rain to the bone, and he had seen his beloved things ruined, so he hated helplessness, hated powerlessness, and he always wished that he could become stronger. He felt that there was only the girl in his world who taught him to read, and that was also his only family, and he couldn't predict what would happen in the future, so he didn't want to be stronger all the time, strong enough to protect the people he loved the most from everything.
"That's good, but don't run so fast, sweat profusely on such a cold day, be careful of getting cold, although you are stronger than anyone else," Fina gently stroked Dracula's face, gentle like a mother or sister, "I wrote you a list of things you need on the paper next to the table, you go, I'll look at the pot." ā
Dracula readily agreed, and then neatly rolled over and got up, stumbling towards the door before the last sleeve of his coat was put on.
"Wait," Fina stopped suddenly, and Dracula paused to look at Fina, "It's a bit hard for you to have such bad weather, but can you help you pick a few fruits from the fruit trees planted outside the house?" ā
"Order!" Dracula thought to himself and thought that something was wrong, he patted his chest in response, and then changed the direction of his progress, he pushed open the window of the back wall, climbed up easily, and climbed out of the house through the window, the fruit trees were planted next to the back wall of the hut, Dracula was like a stubborn monkey by nature, and after noticing this, he gave up walking through the front door and climbed along the window, which was both troublesome and fun.
Fina knew this, and at first said that he was rude, but then he acquiesced, but it was forbidden to do such ugly behavior in front of outsiders, and it was not good for his own reputation, although at first his reputation could have been called the worst in the world.
But Fina was determined to help him change, taught him how to behave with people, taught him morals and qualities, and all the common sense he should know. She herself is very popular in the town, and she often goes out with Dracula, but at first everyone couldn't understand and adapt, and didn't understand why such a good girl should provoke such a bastard.
But as time passed, the estrangement of the past was gradually dissolved, and the people of the town saw the changes in Dracula and put away the bad behavior, and secondly, they often received help from the two, and they all accepted Dracula again one by one over the years.
Fina took the cloak and threw it out of the window, knowing that the person on the other side of the wall had a close relationship with herself, and sure enough, in the next second, a few fruits were wrapped in a cloth by him and placed on the window, and then the rattling sound of the cloak appeared in the wind and rain outside, and Fina heard the sound of running quickly through the rain.
"I said don't run so fast, what should I do if I fall," Obviously the other party is stronger than adults, but Fina seems to be a mother who feels sorry for her child. She quickly carried the cloth bag into the house, quickly closed the window to prevent more rain from splashing in, and then she looked at the window and lost her mind for a moment, "I'm sorry." ā
The man who walked in the house suddenly became too cold.
Fina sighed at the empty room, and then walked to the door with a serious expression, she tightened the shawl on her body, pushed the door open, and the cold air wrapped in raindrops immediately hit the house, at this moment Fina had no expression on her face, and it was also the same coldness.
That's the expression she never shows in front of Dracula, she will be her only family, and she will only express tenderness, concern, and love.
Outside the door stood a man in armor, and behind him was a row of men with sharp spears in their hands, and the men's hands were on the hilt of the long sword hanging from their waists. I don't know how long the group had been standing outside the house, the rain turning into a stream of water on their armor.
It's cold inside the house, and it's even colder outside.
"I can't go out today, so please come back," Fina began, "and take me to apologize to the other master of ceremonies and the lord." ā
"Lord Fina, this is the 10th time that you have come to visit, although you do have the qualifications and authority to refuse Knight Commander Aung, can you also think about us who are doing business," the leading man spoke, and his voice came from within the visor, "We are in charge of delivering the word, and we have been waiting for Lord Fina's letter of approval, but you have been delaying it again and again, the chief knight has a very bad face, and the other master of ceremonies also looks very angry. ā
"Unlike you, it's an old man, so I don't like young offspring to be willful and wanton, and only pay attention to their own thoughts and moods and ignore the important overall situation," although the man came strongly, his words were still a little polite, obviously hoping that Fina would think about it more seriously, "Please come with us, there is already a feast and comfortable lodgings for you to enjoy, and the carriage is ready for you, the same car you should have ridden in the first place, and parade through the street with the ceremonial master." ā
"I'm sorry, I've already said I'm not going," Fina still refused, "I won't sit on that, I've made myself clear before." ā
"Lord Fina," the man accentuated, "as the head of ceremonies, I already have the responsibility of purifying the world, and I have heard that Lord Fina is kind-hearted and loves others, and even if she hides her identity and lives here, she still can't organize her name to be widely praised in this town." ā
"So what?" Fina's forehead furrowed slightly, she was a little tired of this group of visitors, and she didn't want Dracula to see this group of people and herself at this moment.
The appearance of this group of knights represents the order of the high-level of the Moon Night Realm.
"Many years ago, you should have entered the noble court with that lord, and the two ceremonial masters with great responsibilities rode into the noble court, and dedicated their abilities for the stability of this world and the lives of all beings in the world, which is not only a kind of God-given glory, but also an unexcuseable mission, and I hope you will not neglect your duties and forget your duty, please do not refuse. The visitor was clearly a clever lobbyist, with sugar-coated and cannonballs wrapped in his words.
"The duty and duty to save the world?" Fina smiled bitterly, "You are serious, I am just a person with a little knowledge of magic, let me be the head of the ceremonies, it was originally all the above, in this title, there are almost no personal thoughts of me." ā
"I apologize to all of you for this," the man saluted, "but there are also difficulties above, after all, their duty is to protect the world," the man looked up, "If the world is in danger, this neighboring town must be the first to suffer disaster, blood will be shed everywhere, and those who know you, where there are memories, will also disappear, you don't want to see this kind of situation." ā
"I ......" Fina couldn't answer, the scene described by the other party, she really didn't want it to happen.
But she has her own concerns, in fact, she may not be able to contribute, but it would be good if she could stay in this house, and besides, don't let that person know all this, she doesn't want him to worry about herself.
Fina knows Dracula's character, and if she knew all this, she would definitely stop her from going.
That so-called mission does come with huge risks.
"That's a situation that no one wants to see, because no one wants to see hell just around the corner," the man's tone was suddenly harsh, with an aura that could not be refused, "This matter is related to countless lives, that monster must be successfully sealed, so as to minimize the casualties, and the sealing ceremony, you cannot be without either of the two ritual masters, you are the two most outstanding magic achievers in this era, if you are without Lord Fina, the success of the ceremony will be half in an instant!"
"I know, then I'll ...... someday" Fina didn't want to say any more, and was about to turn around and close the door.
"This order is to bring you here," the man raised his voice, and he stepped forward sharply, pressing his foot against the crack in the door to prevent Fina from closing it. Forgive the weakness below, in the past, the higher-ups have tolerated your behavior, because at that time, the awakening of the Yaqi Blood Demon only had the first precursors, but it has gradually recovered and healed in the past few years, and it is close to the day of complete awakening, and it must be sealed again as soon as possible, otherwise when the time comes, you can really only see hell descending on the world, this time there will be no miracles, and God will not personally help us again. ā
"I understand that if necessary, I will definitely choose to help, but as for the order you said, I will not be able to obey it," Fina's voice also became resolute, "Originally, the ceremonial chief was also imposed on me by you......"
I also just think that I can live an ordinary life, I will be born in an ordinary family, I don't need to be rich, but there will be my father and mother, I will have a warm and harmonious home, and then I will grow up ordinary, work, get married and have children, as long as simple happiness is enough, I just want to live in a simple world without any interference.
But God didn't give me anything, not only an ordinary family, but also an ordinary life, and if I could, I would rather exchange this attainment of magic for a family with parents.
Now that I've seen all this, I've met that person, and I'm able to have a chance to have an ordinary family, so why keep ...... Disturb my normal life.
"I'm sorry, Fina Lady," the man said coldly, his attitude changed drastically, "and all this is out of your control. ā
"What are you going to do?" said Fina, frowning.
"It was the Knight Commander of Ang who ordered that your status as the head of ceremonies will be stripped of your rights, and now if you disobey the instructions, you can only compel us to complete the ceremony. The man stretched out his hand and grabbed the edge of the door, Fina, as a daughter, was naturally not as powerful, and this group of comers suddenly became domineering and wanted to force their way in.
"That is to say, I have become a laborer, this is the so-called duty of your superiors, ordering you to forcibly enter other people's mansions and take them hostage, I am also a member of the Moonlight Realm, and I should be divided into the category protected by your superiors," said Fina, "I don't want to see things turn bad, if you don't watch anymore......
Fluctuations of magic power appeared in her palm.
A quick sound that pierced the air, a merciless blow flew from a distance, flashed precisely on the face of the leader, shattered the wooden door with a bad texture, and cut Fina's wrist, her body trembled, and the magic power in her hand fluctuated and shook twice, and then scattered with a bang.
On the floor behind her, a heavy arrow sank into it, and Fina felt it, most of it was a magic weapon completely made from the ore that suppressed the magic power, because she was in her own home, she didn't dare to release too powerful magic power, so it was easy to defeat the magic charge by this arrow.
Farther away, there were more knights deployed, and the group of people in front of them was not all.
At the same time, the column of knights behind the leader all raised their long hairs and aimed them at the sides of the door, and the weapons and even the armor on their bodies were made of the same kind of ore, and the body of the weapon was heavy, which could not only resist enough impact, but also shatter the fragile walls. They were determined to take Fina away.
"Offended. The knight who led the team increased the strength of his wrist, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened his five fingers.
Bad thoughts came to Fina's mind, and although she had a powerful magical power, she didn't study much in combat.
She began to think about how she could save her own house, which was her and Dracula's.
