Chapter 20: The Man Who Can't Be Killed
Atalanta's words are not accurate, under the influence of the spelled blade, not to mention action, even speech will be restricted by the wielder. Vlagrad, the elven creature known as the Puzzler, has the ability to be placed next to the neck of a creature, and that creature is bound to be limited by the sword-wielder, and must be confronted with unreserved knowledge of any questions raised by the sword-wielder. Therefore, Roix could not let his servants fight back or save him at this time, and could only listen to the sound of them falling one by one.
Footsteps rang out from behind the vampire, followed by a young male voice, "How much longer can you control him?"
This question was actually Roix's main concern, and now he couldn't bother to express his love to the lady in front of him, although he still didn't understand why the other party would do such a thing to him, but the anger of being deceived and humiliated had made the blood of this bloodclan cold for many years warm again. And he swore that this temperature would turn into a scourge for these mortals the moment the damned sword was removed from his neck, and that he would torture these lowly bags of blood with the most cruel means, and that he would make them cry out for mercy.
But only if the puzzler is removed from his shoulders. "As long as my hands are still moving, I can go on like this. ”
These words undoubtedly shattered the vampire's expectations like a hammer. But he still has his own hole cards, he is a noble blood clan, and iron tools and ordinary wood can't hurt his body at all. Sure enough, the man who had just spoken walked into his line of sight, and the vampire's vision was unaffected by darkness, and he could see the distressed expression of the young elf with a horrific scratch on one eye. "That's fine. But I have to tell you, ma'am, that we have no silverware in our hands, and no poplar grows in this vicinity. Therefore, I'm afraid you'll have to stay in this position until the sun rises, so that the sun can kill this monster for us. Of course, my people and I will be here to keep you safe until sunrise. ”
Atalanta nodded, these were the two conditions she had thought of for her ability to come back from defeat to victory at the vampire's hands. First, she must use the Puzzler to control the Bloodline, who is the master of the subordinate servants. Second, the elves who were patrolling before she waited were attracted by the sudden explosion of a bonfire. In fact, if one of these two conditions is met, there is a five-point chance of winning, just like just now, she controlled the blood clan and waited for the sunrise, or the elves appeared in time to drive the lower servants away. But simply controlling the Bloodline could be disturbed by his servants, if nothing else, at least the monsters weren't brainless enough to expose their masters to the sun. And relying only on elves, I am afraid that it will be difficult to truly defeat a large number of enemies led by the blood clan in frontal combat.
Luckily, these two events happened at the same time. With the help of the elves, the minions were killed before they could turn their stiff brains, and their masters fell to their knees without resistance. However, Atalanta overlooked the question of what the elves would think of her and the magic sword in her hand.
"No offense, ma'am. But I wonder if there was any mention of his family or accomplices before this monster attacked you, and during his attack on you. As owners of this forest, we need to know if there are any other such guys here. Because, you know, you're not the only victim lately, there have been many waves of travelers and even my people who have been attacked by vampires before you. As far as we know, this is seriously beyond the normal frequency and amount of food that a single vampire can eat. ”
"Black blood, he said his family is black blood. He also said that he had been deported here. No matter how many questions you can ask him. Atta looked at the vampire.
The elf showed a hesitant expression, "He, can he still speak?"
"I asked, and he said. This is the power of Vlagrad, and no one can tell a lie when it is on the neck. ”
If it had been five years ago, the elves would not have believed the beast-like humans in front of them. But everything he'd been through, everything he'd seen, and most importantly, the human woman and her sword had a similar, but different, feeling like the Child of Green that made him weigh it up.
"Okay. So, vampire, what's your name?"
There was a low grunt in the Bloodclan's throat, and it looked like it was fighting something. Seeing this, Atta commanded, "Answer his question." ”
"Roix Blackblood, remember the name, it belongs to the one who rips your throat!" BloodClan's eyes were filled with rage, but his throat and tongue were moving against his will.
"It was horrible. The young elf said with some disdain, but he didn't actually despise the vampire in front of him as much as he had in his tone. Black Blood, where did he seem to have heard this surname before, "What is your relationship with Sander Black Blood?"
"Shande, where did you know this name? No, you should know this name, even if he is expelled, he is a member of the great Black Blood Family! That's right, the blood in our bodies comes from the same source, you see him when you see him! Since you know his name, you should be afraid! Let me go, or wait to meet the wrath of the Black Blood Family!"
The elf's brow furrowed, "Tsk, it really matters." Ma'am, things have changed, and we're afraid we can't kill this damn thing here. According to our agreement with the Archduke of the Hammer, this guy has to be sent to his kindred. ”
The sword in Atalanta's hand almost moved away from the vampire's neck, but even so, she couldn't help but glare at the elf, "What do you mean! He killed three innocents in front of me! He and his servants must die! Only the disappearance of these filthy things from the world can comfort the three good souls." ”
The elf was silent for a moment, realizing that the familiarity he felt when he saw the lady did not come entirely from her aura similar to that of the Green Child. She is very much like him, he was honest and direct five years ago, but also emotional, "The purpose of the agreement is to save more innocent people from such suffering." Therefore, the parties to the agreement must restrain themselves and the members of their forces. Killing with violence, revenge with blood for blood, seems simple, but it can only give birth to more chaos, and this chaos... Damn, I'm talking more and more like that guy. ”
