A hand rested lightly on the shoulder of the man peeking at Catherine and Shirley outside the living room door, and the blonde young man jerked his head back and looked at the man behind him with wary and alarmed eyes, and was relieved when he recognized Rog's smiling face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"You seem to have something on your mind. Rogge asked in a low voice as he glanced into the living room.

George glanced into the living room without saying anything, preoccupied but didn't know what to say, Rogge took his shoulders and turned to walk out, saying as he walked: "Come on, let's go out for a walk, chat by the way, and maybe see the rising sun." ”

The two walked out of the manor side by side, stepping on the clean stone path in the direction of the lake, and after walking silently for an unknown amount of time, George finally spoke: "I feel very lost, and I ...... for the future."

"Is it because of Shirley?" asked Rogge, lighting his pipe and inhaling leisurely, looking directly at the pale sky in the distance, not looking at the contradictory expression on George's face.

"Yes, what happened last night made me feel like my worldview was completely turned upside down, and I didn't even know what to think of vampires in the future, and I was afraid that I would be soft-hearted in front of them and make a big mistake. George looked at Rogge worriedly, like a child looking forward to a teacher's guidance.

Rogge didn't seem surprised by his statement, but nodded with satisfaction and said, "You're right, when I met Shirley five years ago, I felt the same way as you, and before that I thought all vampires should die, until I found Shirley." ”

"When I found out that I could be friends with vampires, instead of having my sworn enemies without him, I also became very confused, is there a third option in this world other than good and evil?"

He looked back at George with a smile, the quiet anticipation on George's face reminded him of himself many years ago, and he smiled and took a drag on his cigarette and said, "So, after Shirley and I parted, I went back to the Sun and Moon Forest, to the Oak Sanctuary to find my teacher, and told him what I had been through. ”

"After listening to my question, my teacher took out three apples and put them in front of me, and he asked me, can you tell which of these three apples is poisonous?"

"I took the three apples and looked at them for a long time, and felt that there was no difference between them, so I had to ask the teacher for advice, and my teacher stood up with a smile and said to me: 'Actually, the three fruits are not poisonous, but it is only because of the poisonous thoughts in your subconscious that you have doubts about them. ’”

"Poisonous thoughts?" George looked at Rogge thoughtfully, and Rogge bowed slightly, "That's right, we have a preconceived idea about vampires, that is, they are murderous and our mortal enemies. ”

He stopped, opened his arms to George, and said, "Speaking of which, why not werewolves? But haven't you and I been fighting side by side?"

"I probably understand what you mean," George nodded suddenly, but Rogge shook the pipe in his hand lightly and said, "Don't be so anxious to explain, we all understand some truths, but like you said, even if you know that vampires are good and evil, then as a vampire hunter, how do you distinguish between them?"

"This ......" George hesitated and bowed his head in thought, and Rogge smiled when he saw this, and said, "If it is according to the method of the little bad bird, it is to eat one apple after another, and then it is not poisonous, if it is really poisonous, then you have to run back to me and scream." ”

George couldn't help but laugh at him, and Roger smiled and continued, "So, the most important thing is to know our opponents, and I made the right decision after a month of lurking near this mansion to find out who Shirley and Sebastian really were. ”

He restrained his smile and pressed his hand on George's shoulder, and said in a solemn tone: "Understanding, observing, not only your opponent, but also the people around you, you should remember Robert's thing, in this world, not only vampires are dangerous." ”

"I see what you mean, and I'll tell everyone in the guild what you say. The hesitation on George's face completely dissipated, and he smiled confidently at Rogge.

"You don't have to force everyone to understand, some people may not be able to accept the limitations of experience, but they will understand one day. Rogge paused and pointed to the golden-dyed lake and said, "It's like the sun will eventually fill the earth, and behold, it's another sunny morning." ”

"Yay, another big fish!"

The sudden childish voice made Rogge and George look towards the lake in unison, and saw Lilith walking out of the lake with a big fish in her arms, and the two walked up to see her putting the fish on the ground, and there were three or four fish on the grass next to her.

"Little villain, have you been catching fish here since dinner?" asked Rog as he slanted his eyebrows at Lori.

"That's right!" little Lori shook the water from her body, and made Rogge and George hurriedly retreat, she wiped her wet little face, looked back at the horizon on the other side of the lake, and said in surprise, "Hey, it's dawning so soon! I haven't caught a few fish yet!"

"If you catch any more fish in the lake, you'll catch them all!" Rogge crouched down in front of her, squeezed the water out of her hair with his hands, wiped the water from her face with his black cloak, and said, "Don't catch any more, save a few fish for old Sebastian!"

"Grandpa Bat can't catch fish at all, what's wrong with me catching him to eat?" replied Lori confidently.

"Okay, nothing bad. Rog touched her little head and said, "As long as you don't tell him you've caught all the fish in the lake." ”

"I didn't catch it all, there are a lot of fish down there!" Lilith turned around and ran back into the lake, and Rogge pulled her back and said, "Come on, it's dawn, go back to sleep with your fish!"

He put Lilith into George's arms, and the three of them stood by the lake and watched the sunrise for a while, and when the sun had fully risen, they returned to the mansion with Lilith and the fish she had caught.

When they returned to the mansion, Shirley and Catherine had gone back to their rooms to rest, while Antonio and Tali had gotten up, the old steward Sebastian had made them a hearty breakfast, and Rogge and George had brought the fish Lilith had caught to the kitchen, and then went to the dining room to have breakfast together.

During the meal, Antonio told Rog that he and Tali were going to return to Khanburg after breakfast, and that he had been thinking about the artifact that was being repaired in the jewelry fabrication shop, and that he was worried about the accident that would happen in his absence.

After the meal, he, Lilith, and George saw them off, and then went back to their rooms for a nap, and did not wake up until mid-afternoon, when the Apocalypse had already gotten up for lunch, and George and Grant decided to leave the manor and return to the branch in Khanburg.

After agreeing with Catherine and Rogge to meet in the chapter, George and Grant left the manor with the Apocalypse, and as they reached the outskirts of Khanburg, a young man named Hans followed George from behind and asked, "President, are we going like this?"

"Is there anything else?" George looked back at the brown-haired young man curiously, and Hans hesitated for a moment, then stopped and said, "President, what do we people do?"

"We're vampire hunters, why do you ask?" asked George, who also stopped and looked at him in surprise.

"Since we're vampire hunters, why don't we kill those three vampires?" asked Hans, pointing in the direction of the manor.

"Haven't you seen everything that's going on in the manor?" George said patiently, "Miss Shirley is different from ordinary vampires, not only is she harmless, but she also takes in so many homeless humans so that they can live a comfortable life, why should we kill them?"

"But they're vampires after all!" Hans clenched his fists in emotion, "even if they don't hurt now, who can guarantee that they won't hurt people in the future?"

"Hans," George persuaded him by pressing his hand lightly on his shoulder, "don't get excited, we have to deal with specific things, as if not all humans are good people, and not all vampires are bad people, Miss Shirley has been taking these people in for a hundred years, if she really has bad intentions, she should have been recognized a long time ago." ”

"I don't believe it!" Hans pushed George's hand away, and said stubbornly, "I joined the guild to eradicate the vampires and avenge the death of my relatives, and now I want to be friends with the vampires?"

His words caused a commotion among the Apocalypse, and George stopped the crowd and said to everyone, "Don't argue, everyone, I didn't say that we must be friends with vampires, the purpose of our guild will not change, we will continue to hunt vampires as always, until they no longer pose a threat to us." ”

He glanced at the thoughtful crowd and turned back to Hans, "As for revenge for your loved ones, Hans, soon after you joined the guild, your parents' revenge was avenged, and it was you who killed the vampire who killed your parents, and many people here were present at the time. ”

He pointed in the direction of Shirley Manor and said, "And Miss Shirley has nothing to do with the killing of your relatives, and you should not impose other people's guilt on her." ”

At this point, George patted Hans on the shoulder and said, "I know you still have hatred in your heart, but we should pour this hatred out on other vampires who harm humanity, and they are our targets." ”

Seeing Hans bowing his head in a state of contradiction, he turned back to the other apocalypsees and said aloud, "I know you have a hard time accepting Miss Shirley's affairs, and even I feel the same way. ”

"But we can't let prejudice and hatred dictate our judgment, we are judges, so we must be objective and impartial, we will never spare the guilty, and we should not let the innocent be wronged, no matter what their origins, right?"

The Apocalypse pondered for a moment, and all nodded in agreement, George looked back at Hans with inquiring eyes, and saw that he had turned and walked back to the group, George did not say anything more, and returned to Khan with Grant with the team.

When they entered the city of Khanburg, Hans, who was walking in the middle of the procession, looked at the people around him sneakily, gradually slowed down, and quietly broke away from the group while the others were not paying attention, and came to a tavern, and said to the owner behind the bar, "Is Ellen here? I have a big business to look for him!"
