Horses' hooves stir up dust, and a ruined town appears on the ground line. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the back of a sturdy horse, Albert's unkempt hair and greasy face were full of exhaustion, he had not rested for even a second in the past few days, he had been on the road non-stop, three meals a day were solved on horseback, and a few horses were changed along the way. Luckily, he had given the Black Blade to Chevis, otherwise the average horse would not have been able to carry 3,000 pounds.

He was accompanied by ten men dressed in rough linen, but the peasant-looking ones were all very well-known. They came from all over the world, and they were once the famous gold-level martial artists, and now, they were the personal guards of the Great Prince. Under the tacit cooperation of these ten people, the king-level powerhouses must avoid their edge.

Arriving at the foot of Haystown, Albert and the ten prince's guards turned over and dismounted, and walked inside.

There isn't even a guard at the gate of the dilapidated town, and it is estimated that the robbers will not patronize this ghost place where birds don't. The bluestone-paved streets are as rugged as mountain roads due to severe damage.

As he walked, Albert surveyed the buildings around him, looking for the marks left by Catherine, which they had agreed upon beforehand.

"Do vampires stay in this kind of place?" said the leader of the prince's guard. The man looked to be about 40 years old, with thick limbs, dark skin, and a somewhat old, crude linen suit, like a farmer in a field, which may be why Aduros had sent him.

"You shouldn't be wrong. Albert nodded and looked at the lead guard, "Uncle Bill." We'll have to go our separate ways. Look for this mark. He said. He pulled out a piece of parchment and handed it to Bill, on which was drawn a strange symbol, the mark of the Elven Whispering Family.

"Where are we then?" Bill asked, nodding, succinctly.

"That's it. Albert looked around, pointing to a dusty tavern with a sign. With that, he departed along the main street. And Bill and the other prince's guards carved the symbol into their minds and discussed the route. also dispersed in a hurry.

※※※

In the evening, Albert and the others followed the marker to an abandoned factory located in a civilian area.

Pushing open the rusty wooden door, Albert picked up the cuckoo call. In the next second, a series of figures came from the darkness, including humans and elves, orcs and half-orcs, blue-faced and fanged forest trolls, and ogres as huge as demonic beasts. Seeing this, Bill and the other prince's guards subconsciously pulled out the dagger hidden in their sleeves and looked at these people vigilantly.

"They're all my people. Albert waved his hand and walked towards Joanna, who was at the head. "Did you find anything?" he asked her, looking around at the crowd, but not Chevis.

"That's not what we're aiming for. Joanna shook her head. "Count Sakura left Hayes Town with the vampire, Shadow told me. ”

That's when it happened. Shadow walked over and took Joanna's words, "Not long after Chevis and I arrived here, Count Sakura and the vampire went east, and then I stayed here to wait for you, Chevis went after Count Sakura and the vampire." He said mechanically, in a less fluid way.

Albert nodded and asked, "Did Cevis say how long it would take to be back?"

"When we find where the vampires are going, Chevis will be back. Shadow replied stiffly.

"How long has he been there?" Albert asked again.

"About two weeks. Shadow said.

Albert nodded, did not continue to speak, and fell into deep thought. Two weeks ago, it was about the same time he had finished solving the Emsburg mercenary mission. After such a long time, Chevis should be back.

"Where the hell have they been?" Albert muttered, pulling a map out of his bag and finding the location of Hayes Town. Even from here to the eastern border of Auston is only about 1,500 kilometers, unless it is on foot, the other side should have arrived a long time ago.

He raised his head and looked at the shadow beside him, "How did Count Sakura leave, on foot, in a carriage, or on horseback?"

"Horseback riding. Shadow said.

"Even if you're riding a pig, you can get to the eastern border of Auston from here. Albert muttered, could it be that Count Sakura and the vampires went to the Buffia Empire?

"Are you wondering too?" Joanna looked at Albert and said helplessly, "Unfortunately, we can't do anything now except wait and pray for Chevis to come back soon." ”

"There must be some way to find the vampire. Albert said unrelentingly.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he thought of Baron Jasmine in Amsburg, who was Count Sakura's minions, and he might know where Count Sakura went. Only, what if he's on his way to Amsburg and Chevis comes back?

"You stay here, I'll go to Amsburg. Albert told Joanna and the others.

"And what about us?" said Bill, "are we going to stay here, too? with these damned aliens?" he said mercilessly, in fact, he had tried to be as patient as he could, and if it weren't for the good things he had been with Albert these days, he would have cut these ugly and savage aliens in half. Oh, except for the elves, no one wants to provoke them, even if they don't have a beautiful appearance.

"Little man, are you looking for death?" the huge Dodom stood up, standing there like a hill at 3.5 meters tall, giving people a suffocating sense of oppression. As he spoke, he picked up the exaggerated chain hammer, and the one eye on his head glistened with blood.

"You have to apologize to my friends. Albert spoke, staring at Bill.

"Apologize, boy, are you crazy? you want the noble royal guards to apologize to these filthy monsters?" said one of the prince's guards angrily.

"That's right, His Royal Highness the Great Prince has at least a thousand guards, and it doesn't matter if I'm missing a few of you. With each word, Albert's expression became gloomy, and at the end it was as if a frost had fallen on his face.

He looked at Bill and said word by word, "Sorry if you don't want to die here." ”

"Fuck you, little red-haired bastard. A prince's personal guard scolded, and then took out the dagger in his sleeve, "Just because you also want to kill ten nine-star martial artists......?"

Everyone only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and before the man's words were finished, he was swept away by a huge force, and Albert was standing in the position of the man just now. He looked at the other nine guards and said indifferently, "Maybe you think I'm gentle, but in fact I do. However, you must remember not to insult my friends. ”

As he spoke, a scorching flame burned through him, and the air around him twisted. (To be continued.) )
