Hearing Antonio's question, Shirley slowly walked out of the crowd apart from the crowd, calmly looked at the farmers and herdsmen beside her, and replied: "Because they are not my slaves, in my heart they are just friends, and I have always believed that humans and blood can be friends, because I have experienced it myself."

She saw in Antonio's face that had not subsided her doubts, and continued: "When I was very young, I once ran out of the castle on my father's back, Queen Mother, and my brother and sister, and played outside for a long time, until when I remembered to go home, I found that I could not find my way home. ”

"I walked for a long time in the wilderness of the Cursed Lands, and there was nothing but black, the color of the lava land, and nothing else, and the sun was about to rise, and if I was exposed to it, I would die there." ”

"Just when I was at a loss, a dusty figure came into my eyes, I didn't know who he was, I thought he was a member of the Blood, I went up to him and told him who I was, and asked him to send me back to the castle, and promised to reward him with my father and queen mother. ”

He stood still and looked at me, hesitated for a while, and finally agreed to my request, but he didn't seem to know the exact location of the castle, and while asking me about the landmarks and features of the vicinity, he led me in his search, and finally sent me to the castle before dawn. ”

"When I was about to take him to the queen mother, he refused, and turned to leave, and when I asked his name, he hesitated for a moment and said, 'I am a ranger,' and then he left. ”

"Later, when I told my father and mother about it, I learned that he came from a race called humans, and my father and mother told me that humans are dangerous, that they are mortal enemies with us, but I don't think he is dangerous, and I always wish I could see him again, but I have never been able to fulfill this wish. ”

Speaking of this, Shirley raised her head and said to Antonio: "Actually, the blood clan living in the cursed land does not feed on human blood, because there are very few humans there, and our food comes from the monsters and animals that live there, just like you, you eat meat, and we drink blood. ”

"So, I have never drunk human blood, and until I came to the land of humans, I still maintain the habit of being in the Cursed Land King's Castle, because in my heart humans are my friends, I will not hurt them, and I have always believed that if I am good to them, they will be good to me, just like that ranger back then. ”

After listening to Shirley's story, Antonio nodded thoughtfully, and Catherine, who was standing beside him, saw that he seemed to be a little shaken, and couldn't help but retort: "You say so beautifully, but I clearly saw your butler bring a glass of blood in front of you, and you drank it all in one go!"

"Are you talking about the morning?" Shirley glanced at Catherine curiously, smiled and explained: "You misunderstood, that cup is not human blood, it is sheep blood, our manor has a lot of cattle and sheep, and my old butler Sebastian will take blood from the cows and sheep every day as my diet for the day." ”

She looked back at the shepherds in the crowd and introduced Catherine: "These are the people who help me herd the cattle and sheep, and the cattle and sheep in the manor will be divided into seven teams, each team will rotate for one day, seven days for a week, and each cow and sheep will only take a small amount of blood that does not affect health, so as to ensure the healthy growth of the cattle and sheep, and also enough to supply my diet." ”

Noticing the look of suspicion on Catherine's face, she turned back to one of the shepherds and said, "Go to the kitchen, and bring me the blood of the sheep that Sebastian left for me to drink for the evening, and show it to the gentlemen and ladies." ”

The shepherd turned and hurried away, and after a while he ran back again, with a cup of bright red blood in his hand, and he handed it to Antonio, who took it and sniffed it, and in addition to the smell of human blood, there was also the smell of sheep.

"This is indeed sheep's blood," said Antonio, handing the cup to Catherine, "I used to kill sheep when I was farming in my hometown, and I am familiar with the smell." ”

Catherine looked down and sniffed, but was disgusted by the pungent smell of the cup, she handed it back to the shepherd, and watched him hold a cup of blood in front of Shirley, Shirley opened her mouth and drank all the blood in the cup, and the shepherd handed her a handkerchief and asked her to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"Miss Shirley," Antonio said to her after Shirley had finished drinking, "we can believe what you say, but what is the situation between you and Rogge?

"Actually, when Dabai first found me, he also wanted to kill me. Shirley then told Antonio and others about his encounter with Rogge, and after recounting the process in between, she said: "Finally, when he followed me all over my estate, met with these farmers and herders, and listened to their stories, he dismissed the idea and was willing to be friends with me." ”

She looked up at Elizabeth, who was standing beside her with a cold face, and said: "As for my sister, I think Dabai did not kill her for me, he knows that I miss my relatives very much, but my father, queen mother and brothers died in the war, and my sister is my only relative." ”

Speaking of this, Shirley gently took Elizabeth's hand and said to Catherine: "Actually, when this young lady rushed in with someone just now, I was discussing with my sister, hoping that she would not be an enemy of humans in the future, and ask her to live here and live quietly with me, so that she and Dabai will not have to hurt each other again." ”

Antonio glanced at Elizabeth with an inquiring gaze, and the vampire princess looked back at him coldly, only to hear Antonio ask, "Where is Rogge?" ”

"Big White and Sebastian went fishing at the lake. Shirley happily said to Antonio, "Sebastian loves fishing with him the most, and he has loved fishing since he came to the land of men, because there are no lakes and rivers in the land of the damned, and there is no place to fish." ”

"However, no one here usually goes fishing with him, I have fished with him a few times, but I can't catch a single fish, Sebastian still doesn't let me speak, saying that it will scare away the fish in the lake, I just sit sullenly, I feel so bored, and then I don't go, Sebastian seems to be lonely fishing alone, so every time Dabai comes he will make him very happy. ”

Antonio looked at the simple smile on Shirley's face, and suddenly understood Rogge's mind a little, and he said thoughtfully: "In that case, Miss Shirley, you can take us to the lake to find them, I think as long as we see them, no matter what kind of misunderstanding there is, it will be solved." ”

Shirley readily agreed, she thanked the farmers and herdsmen who had come to protect her, and let them go home to rest, and she and Elizabeth led the people out of the manor, and walked for an unknown amount of time in the night, when they stopped on the side of a hillside, and saw a lake appear not far from the bottom of the hillside.

"Look, there they are!" Shirley said to Antonio, pointing to the two figures with their backs to them by the lake.

Antonio raised his eyes to look, and before he could see the two figures clearly, a red light flashed in front of him, and little Lolit Lilith appeared in front of them, she looked at everyone curiously and shouted: "Huh, Grand Master, Sister Fish, Stupid Girl, Brother George, Brother Grant, Sister Shirley, and Sister Shirley's Bad Princess Sister, why are you all together?"

"Is Rogge up front?" asked Antonio, crouching down in front of her, gesturing to the lake.

"Bad Wolf and Grandpa Bat are fishing, but they've been fishing for a long time, and they haven't caught a single fish, so I'm in a hurry!" said Lori with a disappointed frown.

"Come on, take us over to meet them, we have a lot to talk to them. Antonio stood up and said to Lilith, and Lori said yes, turned around and jumped down the hill with the group, heading straight for Roger and Sebastian.

"Bad wolf, Grand Master, Sister Fish, Stupid Girl, Brother George......" Before Lilith could finish her words, Rogge had already turned around and interrupted her, "Okay, I heard you shouting this string of nicknames on the hillside, and there is no one in this world who will not be nicknamed by you." ”

"I didn't give everyone a nickname!" Little Lori stopped behind him and said, "Brother George, Brother Grant, and Sister Shirley don't have nicknames!"

"That's just your little head can't think of a proper nickname!" Rogge rolled up from the ground, touched Lilith's little head with his hand and said, "Go, help me watch the fishing rod, and call me if the fish takes the bait!"

He strode up to meet everyone, and Sebastian, the head of the vampire palace, who was sitting by the lake, also got up and came to them, Rogge smiled and glanced at everyone and said, "I didn't expect to be so gathered today, if I guess correctly, the only one who can gather you all is my smart and beautiful baby student." ”

Catherine gave him a sullen look, and when Antonio stepped forward to tell him what had happened, Rogge looked at Catherine, George, and Grant as he listened.

After listening to Antonio's story, he smiled and said: "It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and sure enough, you three are stunned, if Miss Tali hadn't worried that Catherine was missing today, and asked the Lantern God to bring them over in time, you little guys would have caused me big trouble again." ”

"Let's not talk about them," Antonio said, "is what Miss Shirley said to us true?"

"That's right, Shirley has already said it, and that's the truth. Rogge nodded slightly without hesitation.

"What about Elizabeth?" Antonio glanced at the eldest princess beside Shirley and asked Rogge in a skeptical tone, "Can you guarantee that she can be like Shirley and will not hurt humans again?"

"I can't guarantee that," Rogge said with a calm smile and shook his head, "What I can guarantee is that if Elizabeth hurts the innocent people of mankind again, I will personally send her back to her father's side." ”

"So that means I can do it to people other than the people?" Elizabeth glanced at Antonio defiantly, and asked in a strange manner, "For example, His Majesty the Holy Emperor of the human race?"

"Oh, that's not my business!" Rogge waved his hand and smiled: "Protecting His Majesty the Holy Emperor is the business of the Commander, if you two want to fight to the death, I won't interfere." ”

Antonio glared at Elizabeth, turned around and took Rogge's arm to call him aside, and asked with a serious face: "I don't believe that you didn't kill Elizabeth just because of Shirley, you must have some unspoken reason, now it's just the two of us, you tell me, what are you planning?"
