Chapter 9: The Priest (Seeking Investment)
In the forest.
Looking at the bloodless girl in his arms, Xavier felt only a series of remorse.
Perhaps in the first place, he should not have come to investigate, and let the girl come to him, thus putting her in danger.
Or maybe he should have let the vampire go, and that might not have happened.
Countless regretful thoughts made Xavier, a man who usually didn't believe in gods, pray in his heart, hoping that there really was a god in this world who could save them.
But thoughts are thoughts, and Xavier knows very well that he can't sit back and wait for death at the moment, which is why he is running fast now.
On the one hand, it was to avoid the two vampires who didn't know when they would recover, and on the other hand, it was to get Caroline to the doctor.
"Caroline, bear with me a little longer!you'll be fine!" Xavier shouted to the girl in his arms, steadying his mind to keep himself from falling into madness.
It's just that the girl can't respond to him at this time, and Xavier doesn't know any healing magic, so he can only cover her wounds with cloth, hoping that this will slow down the flow of blood a little.
Hopefully find someone else soon.......
Don't be fine......
With this thought, Xavier ran out of the forest and noticed a group of figures in the distant land.
It was Xavier's familiar figure, as most of them were wearing armor that Xavier was familiar with.
Minoan Imperial Army Standard Armor!
Seeing this, Xavier hurriedly ran wildly, causing the soldiers who saw this situation to draw their swords one after another, wondering if he was some kind of terrorist fanatic who wanted to die with them.
However, in the next moment, they were stopped by a priest next to them from raising their blades.
"Don't you see the girl in the boy's arms, she is the girl who called us to the police, it seems that she is injured, why don't you hurry up?"
"Yes, Father Paul!" several soldiers replied in unison.
It can be seen that this Father Paul should not belong to the military system, but the soldiers have great respect for him, and at this moment they obediently accepted the arrangement and ran to Xavier's place.
Immediately, they heard the anxious shouts of the black-haired swordsman in front of them:
"Please, she's seriously injured right now, is there any doctor nearby, can anyone treat her?"
If it was a normal conversation, he would have added a 'ask me', but now that it was an emergency, he didn't bother to say anything polite.
Hearing this, several soldiers couldn't help but look at each other, and finally turned their eyes to Father Paul in the rear.
And the priest did not waste time, and walked over to look at the young man who was in great pain in his heart, and said:
"You must be panicking now, boy. But rest assured, Mother Earth will save the good and punish the bad. ”
The next moment, he asked Xavier to put the girl on the ground, then closed his eyes, and chanted with solemnity:
"O dear Mother Earth God, please help me and save the girl in front of me!"
With these three incantations, Caroline's right chest showed visible hemostasis, and her complexion seemed to be a little ruddy, as if she had passed the crisis, but she had not woken up yet.
Obviously, this is a higher level of divine art.
Seeing this, Xavier hurriedly showed a happy expression, checked the girl's heartbeat, and then immediately saluted and thanked the priest: "Thank you very much, priest!"
"You shouldn't be thanking me. Father Paul shook his head in response to Xavier's thanks, "You should be thanking the great Mother Earth Goddess." ”
"And, boy, you're crying. ”
Is it...... Hearing this, Xavier couldn't help but touch his cheek, and found that tears were already flowing on it, dripping on his clothes.
This is the first time he has shed tears since he crossed over.
However, at this time, he didn't have any shame that a man shouldn't cry, because in his opinion, as long as the girl in front of him was okay.
"Tell me, boy. Seeing this, the priest solemnly said, "Who did such a thing?"
"It's a vampire. Xavier recounted everything that happened to him in its entirety, but concealed a passage from the task given by the system, "One of them is named Desmond, and the other is the owner of the Dragon Gate Inn--"
"Abraham. ”
Hearing this name, several soldiers who were watching instantly showed expressions of disbelief, the bald boss who often had a smile on his face turned out to be a vampire?
They had eaten in it a few days ago, and had even heard the bard tell a story!
Sure enough, as the priest said, these monsters are really hidden deep enough, and they are not something that normal people can find at all!
As for Father Paul, he smiled and chanted, causing Xavier's thoughts to stir slightly, and then he nodded and commanded the soldiers behind him:
"You protect them, and by the way, seal up the Dragon Gate Hotel. ”
"I, on the other hand, went after those two monsters who violated the teachings of the Mother God. ”
With that, he disappeared from Xavier's gaze like the wind, as if he had never appeared before.
Looking at the distant figure, Xavier's pupils couldn't help but dilute.
~~~~~~
Dragon Gate Hostel.
The soldiers, by some means, found the basement inside, and inside, found a large number of animal carcasses, as well as some human corpses.
In this way, Abraham was hiding his blood-sucking habits as the innkeeper.
It's just that unlike Desmond, another vampire, he doesn't be stupid enough to leave blood-sucking animal carcasses indiscriminately, but instead keeps them in his basement.
Moreover, he also shows quirks in ordinary times, intentionally or unintentionally, such as initially inviting Xavier to eat pig blood clots, so that after others see him sucking blood, they will not suspect that he is a vampire, but subconsciously feel that this person has quirks.
It's a pity that such a well-designed identity was buried because of Desmond's recklessness.
At this moment, Abraham, who was flying in mid-air, couldn't help but sigh.
"Big brother, you can't blame me!" Desmond, who had already completed the repair, said to the bald boss, "Who would have thought that at such a late night, a swordsman would suddenly come out on patrol, I originally thought that the corpse would be disposed of after I finished sucking blood." ”
"Stupid!" Abraham couldn't help but scold, "Can't you just dispose of the body right away, and how long will it take you? If you don't want to make a basement to store your blood like I did, I know you're going to make trouble someday!"
"I was wrong, big brother!" Desmond hurriedly showed a repentant expression, "I promise, after we use our new identity, I will never make these mistakes!"
"It's good to know.......," Abraham sighed heavily, "Even if our bloodline has a strong physique, it can't match the number of humans, not to mention, they still have--"
That was the end of his remarks.
Because he saw ahead, a sudden surge of wind appeared, and gradually transformed into a familiar figure of him.
"Long time no see, both. Father Paul smiled at them.
