Chapter 1

Under the dark night, the battlefield finally calmed down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoA rat emerges from the armor of a dead soldier and carefully explores the killing world that has been silent for a long time on the ground, and finally, fades into the darkness......

A bolt of lightning pierced the dark night sky, illuminating the cursed land, and a rain of blood rained down from the sky, and a swarm of crows arrived, risking the consequences of being cursed to feed on the corpses that littered the blood-covered land. Not far away, a tide of blood swept across the reef of the coast, and in the surging waves, grimaces appeared, and they opened their mouths wide and let out piercing screams, roaring towards the shore. Suddenly, the whole world turned bloody......

In the darkness, she opened her eyes suddenly. It turned out that everything just now was nothing more than a nightmare. She carefully pushed the lid open, straightened up, and stepped out of the coffin. The first thing she did when she woke up was to go to the balcony and take a look at the last rays of the sunset, which she had been doing for years. After that, she walked into the room, went to her classroom, and began to concentrate on reviewing some knowledge that she had not yet fully mastered. That evening, she was reviewing physics and chemistry.

While she was concentrating on her studies, her personal tutor, Drenk Carlson, walked in, "Collins, put your books away, don't read them." ”

She looked a little puzzled and stood up, "Professor Carlson, why is that?"

"Because you don't need that anymore, you're already doing good grades, and you have to learn a new course. ”

"What course?"

"As Mr. Furunst will tell you, I am saying goodbye to you today on behalf of your teachers. ”

"Are you leaving? Why is that? Are you not satisfied with my results? Or ......?"

"No, your results are excellent, and we are very proud of you. ”

"And why is that?"

"Because you've mastered enough, what you've learned doesn't give you a sense of security, especially in an age like this. ”

This puzzled Collins and surprised her.

At this time, a pale, brown-haired gentleman walked in, followed by a silver-haired man dressed in military uniform, his eyes were full of murderous energy, which made people dare not face it. The brown-haired gentleman came up to Drenk, smiled, and said, "Professor Carlson, thank you very much, I have already arranged for you and several other professors. ”

"Alright, then I'll be one step ahead. "Good luck, Collins!" said Drenk, and he walked out of the room.

Collins wondered, "Ostein, Forest, what the hell is going on?"

The brown-haired gentleman nodded, "Good question, come, I'll introduce you first." He introduced the silver-haired man to Collins, "This is Halles Graeme, your new teacher, who will teach you how to survive." ”

"How do I survive? I don't think anyone needs to teach me this. ”

"Collins, you know, this is not the past. ”

"Does my father know?"

"Mr. Graham was sent by your father, and he has your father's handwritten letter in his possession. ”

The man named Hales immediately showed Collins a hint of tenderness, a trace of genuine friendship on his face, and took out an open envelope, handed it to Collins, and said, "It is true, this is your father's handwritten letter, and I am only doing what I am told." ”

Collins opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter quickly, "Even after all these years, I can still easily recognize my father's handwriting, and it seems to be true." ”

"It's a real privilege for me. ”

"Hales, Collins' business is up to you, and I hope you will live up to Mr. Siegfried's expectations. Ostein said.

"Don't worry. ”

"Alright, I have something to do here, I'll go out first. Ostein then left the room.

"Hello, Collins, I'm honored to be your teacher. Hales extended a sincere hand to Collins. Collins didn't shake his hand right away, but sat down and continued to review his homework, much to his embarrassment. But Hales didn't get angry, just smiled faintly, and continued, "I'm here to teach you. ”

Collins didn't even look up at him, her tone was a little unexpected, she said, "I'm telling you, I have the ability to survive, I don't need anyone to teach me, thousands of years have passed, what hasn't happened to our blood clan?" When I was six years old, a war broke out on Poppy Island, at that time, I wanted to stay and work for my family and organization, but my father refused, he insisted on letting me leave, in the human world, war is everywhere, so many years have passed, I can be regarded as breaking free from the sea of swords, I have never seen anything dangerous? ”

"Maybe you should see how I teach first. ”

Collins stood up suddenly, looking impatient, "You're such a verbose person. But she immediately calmed down again, "Okay, then I'll give you face first, let's see how deep your ability is, I just haven't eaten dinner yet, and we'll talk while eating for a while." ”

"Thank you!"

Collins just wanted to have dinner together to learn about Hales's origins. The two entered the dining room and began to enjoy the delicious food and wine that had been prepared long ago, while chatting.

"Your name is Collins?" Hales asked.

Collins was silent for a moment, then replied, "This is my nickname, I prefer to be called Isabel, that's my name." ”

"Then why does Mr. Furunst call you by your nickname?"

"I like him to call me that, and Professor Carlson calls me that way, because every time they call Isabel, they don't pronounce it all and it sounds bad, which is really annoying, so I let them call me by my nickname. ”

"Do you think it's okay for me to call you Isabel?"

"Your pronunciation is much more standard than theirs, from now on, you will call me Isabel, please don't call me by my nickname. ”

"I remembered. ”

"How did you find here?"

"Mr. Furunst sent someone to pick me up. ”

"He sent someone to pick you up, just rest assured when looking for you. ”

"Excuse me...... Is he the steward of the manor?"

"No, he is the military advisor of our family, and with him here to take care of me and my mother, my father's heart is naturally relieved. ”

"No wonder everyone here respects him. ”

"Are you also from Poppy Island?"

"To tell you the truth, I'm an instructor of the Eagle Knights' First Legion. ”

"After the war on Poppy Island ended, you instructors were useless, so my father arranged for you to be my teacher. ”

The same can be said. ”

"Did Henks win?"

"Formally, it was indeed victorious, but after the war, Poppy Island was cursed, and even the rain and the surrounding sea turned bloody, and sometimes grimaces appeared in the blood tide. ”

"Bloodshed?grimace?No wonder I often dream about this, it's also a nightmare I've had since I left Poppy Island, and I'm often woken up, and it's no wonder that after a long time. I only remember leaving Poppy Island when I was six years old, but I don't remember what year it was. ”

"The war ended thousands of years ago, and the Evil Spirit Bone Tissue has been completely expelled from Poppy Island, and they must be in a secret place, intending to make a comeback. In order to escape the curse, Henks led some of the Blood Angels to leave and go to the Alps, where he was building a castle. ”

"It was Henks who started the war. ”

"It's not entirely his fault, the war is going to break out sooner or later, he just advanced the time of the war. ”

"In that case, you should feel lucky that you left Poppy Island alive. Isabel raised her glass, "Cheers to your arrival." ”

"Thank you!" Hales took a sip of his wine, put down his glass, and continued, "Is Mrs. Siegfried alright?"

"My mother is very good, and my father is so concerned about our mother and daughter, let you come to be my teacher at the same time, by the way, to find out if our mother and daughter are safe. ”

"Or do you know him. Tomorrow I will write to your father to reassure him. When the castle is built, he will come back to pick you up. ”

"How long will it take to build?"

"Estimated...... If only a few years. ”

"Hales, you're really good at telling jokes, are you kidding me?"

"Do you think I'm wrong?"

"I thought my father was going to be so smart. ”

"And how long do you think it will take?"

"It's the end of the 18th century, and it won't be done until at least the 21st century. ”

"I'd like to hear your reasoning. ”

"Henks wants to build a castle and build a home for our blood angels, his idea is good, but building a castle requires a lot of preliminary planning, and some unknown natural factors need to be considered, and Henks has neither preliminary planning, nor enough manpower and material resources, let alone a survey of the surrounding geographical environment, so I conclude...... The castle can't be built for a while, and my father can't even say that he will pick us up, and besides, the continent of Europa is now in a period of war, and it is even more difficult for him to accumulate a lot of resources to build the castle. Am I right?"

"I appreciate that Mr. Siegfried has such a smart daughter. ”

"By the way, aren't you trying to teach me how to survive?"

"It's not so much 'how to survive' as 'how to kill'. ”

"So you're here to teach me how to kill?"

"Today's world is full of killing, and if you are not careful, you will die. ”

"For so many years, I have killed others, and no one can kill me. ”

"Are all the weaklings you kill?"

"Anyway, I've survived, I've had eternal life and youth, and those so-called swords can't hurt me at all. ”

"What you said is true, but in the past it must have been the age of cold weapons, now it is the age of firearms, in the past it relied on brute force, now it relies on skills and weapons, everything is progressing, and human beings have changed from swords to guns in order to win wars faster. ”

"I've seen those guns, I've been shot several times, and I'm still unharmed. ”

"More humans have invented a lot of silver weapons in order to exterminate the Bloods, some of which I can't even name, and it is for this reason that your father sent me to be your teacher. ”

"When I was dealing with humans, you were still fighting on Poppy Island. ”

Hales stood up suddenly, and said sternly like a teacher criticizing his own students: "Isabel, you must correct your view of reality, you are a very smart girl, you can't be stupid at this time, I found no less than ten bounty notices when I passed through the Kingdom of Prussia, and the witchers are killing vampires everywhere. ”

"I see, you are afraid that you will not be able to be my teacher and thus lose your job. ”

"Isabel, I really didn't expect that your father would come all the way to help you with your father's hard work, and you would say this. ”

Isabel picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth, "Even if you are unemployed, there are enough funds in the estate to support you." I'm done, I have to go back to review my homework, and I have time to come to my place, my barley tea is good, welcome to taste it. Then she walked out of the dining room, not looking back.

Hales looked helpless, and he suddenly collapsed in his chair, so angry that he couldn't even eat, worried about Isabel's arrogance.

Hales wanted to tell Isabel's mother, Monica, about this, but he was afraid that Isabel would think he was deliberately making a small report, so he approached Ostein Frost and told Ostein all about Isabel's arrogant behavior.

When Ostein learned about it, he was also worried that one day, Isabel would pay the price for his arrogant behavior. So, the two found Monica, the owner of the manor, who is Isabel's mother.

Her daughter's arrogant behavior has also been a problem for Monica for many years, and she is afraid that she will lose her beloved daughter one day, so she decides to talk to her daughter alone. She went to the classroom and saw Isabel concentrating on physics.

"Isabel. Monica said.

Isabel looked up, "Mother." ”

"Can we talk?"

"Of course, Mother, please take a seat. ”

Monica sat facing her daughter, "Isabel, starting tomorrow, Hales will teach you how to survive. ”

"Don't I even know how to survive?"

"It's different now. ”

"Again, this is what Hales told you, right? What did he tell you? No, it can't be Hales alone, it was Ostein and Hales who told you together, right?"

"Isabel, people always have to keep learning, even if you are the emperor, you will study hard with Hales tomorrow, he is the best instructor under your father, he will teach you ......"

"Well, Mother, I understand your good intentions, but in fact it was and is the same. ”

"The economy of the Kingdom of Denmark has been greatly damaged by years of war, and Denmark today is no longer the Denmark it used to be, and the country can only progress through reform. We are in this era of war, and only by becoming strong can we do what we want to do. ”

"Mother was too worried. ”

"Obedient, dear, tomorrow Hales will be your new teacher, and you will have to learn from him how to survive. ”

"I always felt like this Hales was here to apply for a job. ”

"I was originally an instructor of the First Regiment of Eagle Knights, and I was asked by your father to come from afar to teach you, but you said such things. ”

Isabel smiled awkwardly, "Then let him teach the servants." ”

"Isabel, you are too arrogant, you must get rid of this problem, otherwise, sooner or later, you will suffer a big loss. ”

"It's not so much 'arrogant' as 'self-confidence', after so many years, I have also come one step at a time, I think I have the ability to survive myself, and I don't need others to teach. I'm not afraid of losing money, and it will make me more cautious and knowledgeable. ”

"Hales is giving you a lesson, you have to go, just to consume time, that's okay, right?"

"I don't have time to spend with him, I can treat him as a friend, it's already my greatest grace, my own life, it's up to me. ”

"My dear, what do you want me to explain to you?"

"Mother, you don't have to explain, in the human world, it is much safer than Poppy Island, what humans can use, I will use, what humans have, I also have. Take those witchers, for example, how many witchers tried to kill me, but instead of doing so, they lost their own lives.

"Isabel, you must not say these things in front of others. ”

"I see, don't worry, Mother. I'm going back to Helsingør tomorrow, so I'll have to come back to see you another day. ”

"I'll arrange for Ostein to escort you there. ”

"No, Mother, I can go back myself. ”

"Then you must take the big road, the terrain is dangerous, it is easy to be ambushed, don't forget, you have offended the witchers, those witchers are eager to capture you alive, and then slowly torture you. ”

"Demon hunters are everywhere these days, and they're just slaves who collect money to do things, don't worry. ”

"I hope it is as you say. ”

The next afternoon, heavy snow fell. The outskirts of Copenhagen are even more beautiful against the backdrop of snow, and the bloods in Siegfried Manor have woken up early to get to work. In order to get to Helsingør as soon as possible, Isabelle, who had planned to leave at dusk, had to leave early, bringing with her mother a small suitcase containing a rat blood drink, some jewelry that her father had sent her from afar, and she also put on her beloved furry brown bear fur coat and boots. Ostein had prepared a carriage and guards for her outside the manor's gates.

Before leaving, Isabel said goodbye to everyone, and her mother, Monica, seemed reluctant to let her go, so she gave her an opal-encrusted pendant, and repeatedly told her to take the main road and write a letter when she returned to Helsingør, so as to confirm that she had arrived safely. The mother kissed her daughter on the forehead and again instructed the guards to take care of her.

In addition, Isabel also made a special greeting to Hales: "Hales, I will invite you to Helsingør another day." ”

"Good luck! Be careful on the road. Hales said.

"Thank you!"

Finally, Isabel boarded the carriage and waved goodbye to everyone, and the carriage moved forward in the snow. (To be continued.) )
