6. Puzzle
As usual, the night was the only difference was that there were a few more corpses in the courtyard, and several guards dressed in black were busy transporting the extra corpses.
Anne did feel the anger and sorrow of Asma, and after that, she did as promised, coming here every night, with the mission of only taking away the poor vampires who had accepted the truth but failed.
It still didn't work out, but as she continued to improve, Anne had already detected a glimmer of hope, and the previous vampire had been clearly human for at least a few minutes.
But...... It's only a few minutes. After that, she inevitably returned to the same state as the previous failed real yร n body surface xiร n.
Unconscious bloodlust, loss of basic thinking and language skills.
This is a heavy finding, or at least a sign that research is starting to get on the right track. Anne's father had gone east to fight against foreign armies, so it is safe to say that she was now the supreme symbol of the place.
After telling the alchemists to keep them secret, and sending them away, Anne called Lucifer again.
"Lucifer, though it may be a little sudden. Anne picked up the gauze and began to wrap it around her wrist.
I thought that the previous vampire had turned into a human, but a few minutes later, there was a sudden change, and Anne, who was caught off guard, was still scratched on the wrist. Ashmill was very anxious to take the guy who had gone crazy. So I didn't have time to treat her.
The bright red blood gradually soaked the snow-white gauze, but it couldn't stop there, "There has been a lot of progress in the potion just now. But I suspect that it's because the subject's level is too low, which leads to a backlash against the vampire's identity. Therefore, I can trouble you to find some more...... First-degree dependents, or second-degree dependents?"
โ...... But, doesn't that mean that you only do it for one vampire every night?"
Naturally, Lucifer wasn't worried about whether he could catch the vampire. Among the inhabitants of so many nights, there must be a few who want to give their lives to win the chance to become human again. The real problem. It was the princess in front of her.
"You're tired, take a break. โ
"Please...... I don't want to waste time. โ
โ...... Understand. I'll go right away, and in the meantime, please take a break. โ
With that, Lucifer disappeared into the night. Suddenly there was silence, and the only thing that could be observed was the flickering, dim candlelight.
This is not something that can be made public, so it cannot be done openly, and after looking around the room for several days, Anne leaned down on the table and closed her eyes. The smell of dried blood that still lingered on it was irritating her nostrils.
Really. Still can't sleep peacefully. No matter how long it takes, you can ask about the smell of blood, and when you close your eyes, you will see the scene of your body being pierced with a sharp blade. All of this forced Anne to reopen her tired eyes.
The candle has burned in general. But in terms of sleep quality, it seems to be worse than not sleeping at all.
After a brief knock on the door, a new brave man arrived, but ......
"Dragon...... What?"
Looking at the tail dragging on the ground behind the little girl in front of her, Anne frowned, "Why...... Are you infected?"
"Hmm. Got bitten during the battle that night. โ
The little one didn't look the slightest bit upset, and didn't seem to be aware of what was happening to her. What kind of change is it?
"Go back, little one. โ
While complaining about why Lucifer had brought dragons this time, Anne began to coax the little kid who didn't know anything, "It's so late, go to bed." โ
"No! I'm here to get the antidote. โ
Antidote...... It turns out that Lucifer said so, but she is not to blame, without this statement, there will be fewer and fewer vampires who can be coaxed now. The vampires who were willing to gamble had long since turned into corpses and were transported away and incinerated.
Asmill had already left, as was customary, after taking the previous loser, so ...... Even if this time it failed, the little guy didn't have time to realize the fact that he had been deceived.
......
"Well, sister, there is an antidote, but you may have a stomachache if you drink it. โ
After a long silence, Anne took out the small bottle, "Even so, do you want to drink it?"
"Yes!"
After agreeing without hesitation, the little guy immediately snatched the small bottle filled with viscous liquid and couldn't wait to fill it into his mouth.
What will happen as a result? What kind of miracle will happen to the dragons who are already physically strong?
Anne stared at the little girl who was staring blankly after swallowing the potion.
However, the reality is cruel, and after a brief blush, all Anne can find is ......
His expression gradually became painful, his consciousness gradually blurred, and then he instinctively threw himself towards the bloody place.
Anne then remembered that her hand had just been treated simply because of the injury. I just thought that Asmola would not appear in time. Lucifer had always been far away from here, and now, she was alone.
Oops, it must be because of the long period of practice, which leads to a decline in judgment.
When she hurriedly picked up the sword and stabbed it at the little guy's heart, Anne suddenly thought that this little guy was not a human at all, but a dragon. In other words, her already strong body has been strengthened again after obtaining the vampire physique, so it is really difficult for ordinary weapons to hurt her.
ใPoofใ
The tip pierced the heart, but it was only pierced, and there was no extra strength, so I had to push harder.
It seems that not only is the mental weakness, but also the physical weakness?
"Lucifer!"
Anne screamed as hard as she could, and her body fell to the ground. In front of her, there is a vampire who has lost consciousness and has begun to constantly search for the source of blood, and as the source of blood in her eyes, it is naturally her own body.
If the other party is already an adult, he must not even have the strength to resist, but even now, that huge strength is not something that can be relied upon.
The little guy had already bared his fangs that were characteristic of the mutation, and slowly approached his neck with brute force. This...... Is it retribution? I deceived her of retribution. But without such sacrifices, how can a real antidote be finally reached?
The sacrifice of dozens of people before was not meaningless, at least now there has been a breakthrough in the research of potions. His identity does not allow him to retreat, so ......
[You real materials, just accept the real yร n honestly!] This is the only contribution you can make!
"Woo......"
The young dragon's movements in front of her suddenly stopped as if they were stiff, and Anne naturally did not let go of this momentary opportunity, and after turning over and standing up, she did not hesitate to pick up the thin sword on the ground and pierce her back.
There was an extremely piercing stabbing sound, but the little guy just let out a whimper and fell. It's as if she's really obeyed her unconditionally...... Command in general.
"Annie!"
Lucifer rushed in from outside the door, "What's going on!?"
โ...... Call...... Whew, a little problem, it's fine. Lucifer, please transport this corpse away. Anne then added, "She's a dragon...... So...... Handle it cleanly. โ
โ...... Got it. โ
Lucifer seemed to have learned the general story of the matter from Anne's wolf Bรจi, "I'll stop around here in the future." โ
โ...... Thank you. โ
When Lucifer left, a tired Anne immediately collapsed in her chair.
What happened just now, if I am not careful, I am afraid that my fate will be the same as theirs again. This time, it is estimated that Lilith will not come to save herself again, after all......
Once again, a dull pain began to throb her chest, and Anne suppressed the pain as she began to carefully recall the scene that had just happened.
The young dragon was visibly much stronger, but at the end, she paused as if by magic.
At that time, there was only herself and her in the room, and she didn't have any strange magic, and she naturally wouldn't suddenly stop her movements when she was unconscious.
If there is anything suspicious, it is only the almost crazy resistance and thinking of myself at the end.
"Obediently when the real yร n material...... Does it have anything to do with that?"
Anne muttered, standing up and rummaging through Frey's investigation when the plague first broke out.
It seems that in the midst of it, there is some unknown mystery. (To be continued)
