Chapter 450: Come Home, My Princess
The shattering of the Hallows stunned all three of them, Hunter held the Void Scythe that had shattered the Hallows with his only arm, unable to recover from his fatal mistake for a moment, and Anne, who was standing in front of him with half of the Hallows in her hand, was even more shocked.
Elizabeth, who fell behind Anne, turned pale and looked desperately at the half-broken artifact in Anne's hand, as if she saw her last hope being shattered into pieces.
At this moment, the window of the corridor behind Hunter suddenly shattered with a "bang", a white shadow kicked the window and flew in from the window, and a tumbling fell to the ground and shot Hunter in the right shoulder, Hunter screamed and the void sickle in his hand fell to the ground.
When the wounded Hunter turned sharply to look, the silver gun in Catherine's hand breathed fire again, and Hunter was shocked and hurriedly dodged into the corridor on the side, and the silver bullet hit the wall, cracking a cloud of rubble.
"Let's go!" Elizabeth, who saw Catherine, ignored the half-hallows that had been thrown on the ground, pulled Anne up and turned around and rushed down the stairs, but Catherine flew down from the top of the stairs and stopped at the staircase, raising her gun to aim at Elizabeth.
Anne hurriedly turned around and threw Elizabeth to the ground, the silver bullet slashed against Anne's shoulder, grazing her arm, the hot pain made Anne scream, and when she looked back to see Catherine aiming the fire at herself, she hurriedly threw the half-hallows in her hand at Catherine.
Catherine suddenly saw a shiny thing flying towards her, and hurriedly dodged, the holy weapon fell at her feet, and the holy white light emitted came into her eyes, Catherine hurriedly reached out and picked up the holy weapon, and when she saw it again, Anne had jumped out of the second-floor window with Elizabeth.
Catherine hurried up to the second floor, letting Monica release a rattan slide to help her fall to the ground, and chased in the direction of Anne and Elizabeth, she pulled the trigger and shot at the two as she ran, and the silver bullets struck the trees and ground around them, causing them to scream.
Although the storm had stopped by this time, heavy dark clouds still covered the land, and Elizabeth and Anne rushed north, seeing Catherine in hot pursuit, Anne ripped off all the dolls on her body and threw them backwards, blocking Catherine's path.
She took Elizabeth from the foot of the hill in front of her, and said to Elizabeth breathlessly: "Your Highness, you go east from here, and I will go north to lure her away!"
"No, you're going to be caught by them, you're going to die!" said Elizabeth, holding Anne's hand.
"I have to do this, my life and death don't matter, the important thing is that you must be safe and sound!You are the last hope of the Bloodline!" Anne pushed Elizabeth hard and said loudly, "Hurry up, Your Highness, go quickly!"
After saying that, she turned and ran north, Elizabeth stared blankly at her thin figure, a heart-rending pain welled up in her heart, and for a moment she wanted to rush over to be with Anne, after all, she was Elizabeth's last relative in the world.
Suddenly, a thunderclap roared in Elizabeth's ears, and the vampire princess took a step back in horror, the thunder seemed to temporarily dispel the pain in her head and bring her back to her senses, she knew that Anne was right, if she died, the bloods would have lost their last hope.
"I'm sorry......" Elizabeth glanced apologetically in the direction Anne had left, turned and stumbled east along the ridge, the rumbling of thunder in the sky.
A moment later, the rain poured down again, and Elizabeth, soaking wet, walked forward with two legs deep and one shallow, exhausted, sad, and clammy and cold, and she felt like she was going to fall asleep at any moment.
Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded in her ears, and Elizabeth's steps stopped, and she heard the crunch of thunder in her ears, the loud thud of the super fire gun on Catherine's back, and at the same time, she felt Anne disconnect from her mind.
"......No," Elizabeth fell to her knees in the muddy water, the pouring rain on her body and face, drowning the tears that flowed from her eyes, and the roaring thunder lingered in her ears, as if mocking the princess who was in a desperate situation.
A pair of feet gently stepped on the dirt in front of Elizabeth, sinking into a deep footprint, Elizabeth slowly raised her head, and looked at the feet wrapped in black boots and pants in front of her with eyes blurred by rain and tears.
She didn't have to look up, she knew who was standing in front of her, she silently closed her tears that were crying painfully, felt a hand gently caress her head, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly jumped up from the ground with all her last strength, and threw herself on top of him, punching him in the face frantically.
Rogge stood silently, looking at Elizabeth with messy makeup through the curtain of water dripping from the brim of his wide-brimmed hat, letting her fist hit his face without seeming to feel any pain.
"You bastard, you took everything from me, you killed all my relatives, you made me lose all the precious things in my life, you devil, why didn't you kill me, come, kill me!" Elizabeth frantically grabbed Rog's clothes with one hand, and beat him with the other, crying hysterically.
Rogge was still silent, but gently put his hand around her waist, and held the desperately struggling Elizabeth tightly in his arms, and the exhausted Elizabeth collapsed in his arms in pain, crying hoarsely, like a child who couldn't find a home, and the crying was mixed with the sound of heavy rain, which looked particularly desolate.
"We are all children without a home, but we have not lost the whole world......" he whispered softly beside Elizabeth's pointed ear, leaving a shallow kiss, letting go of her and passing her, "Go, go home." ”
Elizabeth turned to look at him with teary eyes, and asked in surprise, "What did you say, where are you going?"
"I said go home, go back to where you need to be, go back to your loved ones. Rogge turned around and shook the index finger of his right hand, Elizabeth was surprised to see that his index finger was covered with two forbidden bracelets, she looked down at her hand in surprise, the forbidden bracelet on her wrist was gone.
Elizabeth was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly with a roar, a pair of demon wings behind her opened and rushed towards Rogge, she threw Rogge to the ground, raised the vampire claws and was about to stab him, when she heard Rogge say calmly: "You can't kill me, you know, why waste your strength?"
"I don't have a home to go back to!" Elizabeth shouted at him frantically, "All my relatives are dead, even Anne, who has served me for decades, has left me forever, I have no home, no more!"
"Maybe there's another ......" Rogge smiled at her sad face, Elizabeth stared at his eyes full of meaning suspiciously, didn't understand what he meant for a while, only heard Rogge say unhurriedly: "Unless, you don't plan to recognize Shirley's sister." ”
"Shirley?" Elizabeth's eyes widened in surprise, only to see Rogge nodding and said, "That's right, Shirley has been living in seclusion in the south of Deiz, I agreed with her to meet once every five years, speaking of which, I was a few months late, and I was originally going to Shirley's manor to meet her when I was involved in the Sacred Incident in the fishing village." ”
"You didn't kill her, Shirley is still alive, you didn't kill her!" Elizabeth asked with surprise, joy and suspicion as she grabbed Rogge's clothes with both hands.
"I did want to kill her," said Rogge, lying in the muddy water, wiping a handful of the rain on his face, "but I found that the place where she lived was different from the other vampires, only she and an old vampire butler, and the other attendants and farmers were human, which aroused my curiosity." ”
"I spent a month lurking around her manor to find out who the owner was, and I found that the humans volunteered to serve her, to breed livestock for her, and she drank the blood of the animals, and the humans who served her ate the flesh of the animals. ”
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Rogge's face, and he said, "They are so harmonious, I have never seen humans and vampires coexist so peacefully, their pastures have a perfect balance, and farmers and herders even help Shirley drive away outsiders and protect their masters." ”
"Shirley ......" Hearing Rogge's words, Elizabeth gradually believed his words, showing a smile of joy and relief, she wiped her face with tears mixed with rain and said: "She's still so kind, she can live peacefully with anyone, she is good to everyone, she has always believed that we can be friends with humans!"
And she did. Rogge smiled and nodded, "So when I decided to meet her, she didn't treat me as an enemy, but treated me very calmly as a guest." ”
"She showed me everything about the manor, introduced me to the people inside, and she even gave me a nickname, as if I was not the one who went to kill her, but an old friend. ”
"Nickname?" Elizabeth looked at him curiously, Rogge shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Don't want to ask me, I won't tell you, go ask Shirley yourself!"
He sat up from the muddy water, put one hand on Elizabeth's shoulder, who was sitting on his lap, and said: "Finally, she said to me: 'If you want to kill me, then come, I have been away from my father and my brothers for a long time, and my sister is still missing, and perhaps death is the best way to reunite with them. ’”
"Shirley......" Elizabeth sighed, and suddenly looked up and asked, "But, why haven't I been aware of her existence?" When I returned to the mainland, I used a psychic link to contact all the blood clans in the human realm, but no one told me about Shirley, and I couldn't contact her myself. ”
"Because she has cut off the mental connection with the outside world," Rogge picked up his hat, looked up at the still pouring rain and said, "Only Sebastian, the old butler who was with her, still maintained a spiritual connection with her, but both of them cut off the connection with the outside world, in order to avoid Shirley's identity being exposed." ”
"So that'......" Elizabeth suddenly realized, only to hear Rogge smile and say to her, "I don't think you have any doubts, and you don't want to kill me now, so go find Shirley, she must also want to see her dear sister." ”
He took out a metal card from his body and handed it to Elizabeth, who looked down at the address engraved on it, apparently a way to find Shirley, she nodded happily to Rogge, and said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you!"
After saying that, she stood up and hurriedly prepared to leave, but suddenly, she stopped and turned back to ask Rogge: "I have another question, why do you do this, why do you not kill me and help me return to Shirley? Isn't it your duty to hunt us?"
