Philip's harassment did not stop until he left Genoa.

Every day, Philip sneaks up on all sorts of monsters after midnight.

Some were driven by him, and some were provoked by him.

All in all, it's a monster, a weird, or a creature of the dark world.

Anyway, what can be used, Philip took the trouble to bring it to Nock and the others.

Nock and his gang faced it calmly from the beginning,

To the embarrassment and escape in the back, it can be said that he has suffered a lot.

Nock was also annoyed by Philip's nonsense.

Nock avoided Richelieu and Shakespeare, and blessed the weapons of Roger Fett with the Holy Light attribute.

Then he secretly stuffed each of the three of them with a holy water that had been blessed with seventh-level divine magic,

In the end, he secretly stuffed the portable dagger that had been impregnated with holy light on his body and stuffed it to Rod.

Let Rod seize the opportunity and kill Philip directly!

It doesn't matter if he has anything to do with the church, don't say that he just practiced with an old priest.

Even if Philip is now a priest registered by the Church, Nock is going to kill him!

Nock, ambush Philip!

Although Nock was doing this behind Richelieu's back, Richelieu quickly learned about it.

Naturally, I understood what Nock was thinking.

Nock didn't want to hide it from Richelieu at all, otherwise he wouldn't have told Roger Feld about his plan.

It's just that he doesn't want Richelieu to interfere with his command, but he wants Richelieu to cooperate with Nock's plan.

But speaking it to your face is not good for both Nock and Richelieu.

The status of the two is now equal, and Richelieu may be a step higher in the future.

Nock is not good at directing him directly.

can only borrow Roger Fett's mouth to tell Richelieu about his plan and let Richelieu cooperate.

In this way, there is no matter who directs whom, and there is only active cooperation.

Of course, Nock didn't forget to test Shakespeare again.

In the past few days of harassment and attacks, everyone is very embarrassed, but Shakespeare's embarrassment,

It's just like everyone else.

Others may not have noticed anything unusual, but Nock had been paying attention to him, and it was impossible not to notice.

Although I knew that Shakespeare was capable, he should also be a good professional.

But I didn't expect his strength to be even more profound than that of Rod and others.

The embarrassment of Nock and others is real, but Shakespeare's embarrassment is feigned.

This is something that Nock thinks he can't do.

Of course, it is also possible that Nock is the main target of the target, and Shakespeare does not have much presence.

Philip was not going to hurt the innocent......

Well, Nock felt that this forced explanation was a bit self-defeating.

Even if Philip doesn't want to hurt the innocent, those attracted monsters and dark creatures will never take this into account.

Don't bother Shakespeare, do you?

Not to mention the weirdness that just wants to destroy everything.

When the sun set, the people of Nok, who had been chased for several days, finally left the Kingdom of Genoa,

Saw the first village.

This is the border village of the Duchy of Ferrara, a dependent principality of the Holy Empire.

The border is no longer defended.

Because no one can beat it, not to mention that Genoa's strength is not even as good as Ferrara, even if it is called a kingdom,

But the strength is not even as good as that of the principality.

When a country is so poor that it is rejected even if it wants to be incorporated into another country, one can imagine how poor its national strength is.

All in all, as a vassal principality of the Holy Empire, the Duchy of Ferrara is not at all afraid of being invaded.

Even if you surrender today, tomorrow the army of the Holy Empire has not yet arrived,

The Holy Cross of the Holy Court has already come to the door to end the battle.

At the gates of the Holy Court, no one dared to attack these vassal principalities.

So much so that Ferrara directly abolished the border guards and assigned the army to the lords in the country.

Let them set up their own private armies to guard their own realms,

When the day really comes when the army is needed, the Grand Duke can directly call the lord's private army in the principality.

I have to say that the Grand Duke of Ferrara has a thief's calculations.

But there is no way, it is rumored that the aunt of the Grand Duke, when the contemporary pope was still a cardinal,

was already the lover of the Pope, and later gave birth to a child, so ......

Of course, rumors are all unsubstantiated.

Anyway, those who believe will believe, and those who do not believe will also believe under the iron heel of the crusaders of the Holy Court.

This non-defensive policy of the Grand Duke of Ferrara led to Nock and others being pursued by Philip all the way from Genoa,

Entering Ferrara didn't attract anyone's attention.

It can't make Nock and the others ask for help.

Because the border is not defended, the citizens of Ferrara are reluctant to live in areas close to the border.

After all, the neighboring countries did not dare to attack Ferrara, but pretending to be thieves to cross the border and rob them,

Still dare.

Therefore, the villages closest to the border are all three days away.

Nock and the others also entered Ferrara for three days before they saw the village for the first time.

When I saw the village, I was immediately excited.

It's a very ordinary village.

The village is surrounded by vast fields where wheat, corn and other grains are grown.

Vineyards and olive groves dot the fields, and in the heart of the village, the roof of the church can be seen in the distance.

The church, which is also the tallest building in the village, should be considered a landmark.

Approaching the village, the prosperity of the village surprised Nock and the others.

Unlike the poverty of Genoa, the villages here are actually made of stones.

From the outside, the houses in the village are mostly built of stone and adobe bricks,

They have steep roofs and narrow windows.

The degree of prosperity is no worse than that of the small town of the Kingdom of Genoa.

"What people!"

The guard at the gate of the village looked at the approaching carriage and stepped forward to block it.

The negotiation was handed over to Shakespeare, who claimed to be familiar with the customs of various countries.

After Shakespeare's three-inch tongue negotiations,

Nock and his party made it to the village.

However, this time, Nock and the others did not hide their identities and went to the village chief to spend the night.

Instead, he went directly to the church and indicated that he was a candidate for cardinal heading to the Holy See.

Lived in a church.

Because Nock and the others are not sure if the vampire will continue to hunt them down after fleeing for their lives into the village.

In order to avoid implicating the villagers, living in a church is the best option.

Even if that guy really attacked the village in a frenzy, with the church as a line of defense,

It can also rescue villagers to take refuge in the church in time.

Unless there is an army of darkness that attacks the village at all costs.

Otherwise there is a village sheltered by a church,

It's not that easy to breach.

This is naturally related to the secrets of the Church, so I will not mention it for the time being.

The priest in charge of the church was surprised to learn that Richelieu was actually a candidate for cardinal in the Kingdom of France.

You know, Ferrara is adjacent to the Papal States administered by the Holy See.

What news is there in the Holy Court, they don't say that it is first-hand information, and they know it earlier than the other countries on the mainland.

This election of cardinals is to elect the cardinal who will be appointed in the Kingdom of France.

Now that the candidate of the Kingdom of Fran is here, he is naturally the one with the greater chance of winning.

The priest did not dare to slack off and personally received Richelieu.

Nock, on the other hand, kept a low profile and concealed his identity, claiming only to be Richelieu's priest.

In this regard, Richelieu did not break down.

The current situation of the two of them is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface.

One bright and one dark, it is still good to keep a low profile.

Especially the things they did along the way, they should have fermented.

It was only a matter of time before it reached the Holy Court.

When the time comes, the storm will be the real test for the two.

Being able to ride the wind and waves, the two of them naturally have a bright future.

But if the ship is sunk by the wind and waves, the two have no future.

Therefore, the closer they got to the Holy Court, the more cautious they became.

With the hospitality of the church priest,

After enjoying a hearty dinner, Nock and the others also received a lot of useful information from the priest.

For example, there are still nearly two months before the official selection of cardinals.

As long as you go all the way south, in about a week, you can cross the border of the Duchy of Ferrara.

Access to the Holy See's Governing Domain.

After about two weeks of walking along the coastline, you will reach the seat of the Holy Court, the city of St. Rome.

In this way, there is plenty of time.

The weather is also getting colder, and winter has come,

I just don't know when the first snow in the south will come.

However, according to the priest, even if it snows, it will not affect the itinerary of Nock and the others.

This has to be said to be the best news that Nock and others have heard these days.

But they rejoiced too soon, not knowing that danger was creeping in.

After sunset, the small village called Beta unloads the day's busyness,

Start enjoying its rare break.

When the lights in the village were gradually extinguished, only the dim lights of the church bell tower flickered.

On the tree next to the road outside the village, a "big bird" fluttered down.

Oh, it turned out that it wasn't the big bird, but the half-blood Philip, who was waving his wings and landing on the trunk.

"Nock Lane, I will definitely retrieve the Holy Spear from you, and I will not let you continue to defile the Holy Spear!

Even if it kills you! ”

After chasing down Nock all the way, Philip eventually ran out of patience.

Before, he just wanted Nock to retreat and obediently hand over the holy spear.

But Nock's repeated stubborn resistance made Philip run out of patience.

What's more, in order to avoid him, Nock and his party actually fled in the direction of the Holy Court.

This is the real reason for Philip's murderous intentions.

Due to the Holy Court, the old priest did not recognize Philip until his death.

Later, Van Helsing was even hunted down by the Holy Court.

Although rumor has it that Van Helsing eventually died with a vampire Grand Duke.

But Philip wasn't convinced.

Even if Van Helsing is already old, Van Helsing, who has the holy spear, it is impossible for the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan to kill Van Helsing,

Instead, it is possible that Van Helsing will be killed back.

Therefore, although Philip believed in the Holy Lord, he did not recognize the Holy Court.

He only recognizes those clergy of the Church who truly help the world and save people.

A scum like Nock Lane who can't be saved, Philip disdains.

Seeing that Nock and his party were about to enter the Holy Court, when the time came, Philip wanted to snatch the Holy Spear again.

That's how hard it is.

Although the blood clan can't fly high, it is still possible to fly a few kilometers high.

But if you want to snatch the holy relics of the church under the nose of the Holy Court, I am afraid that Dracula may not succeed in person.

Philip didn't think that he, a small descendant of Dracula, could snatch the Holy Spear in the Sacred Court, where there were so many masters.

So, he must get rid of Nock Lane tonight and snatch the Holy Spear!

However, perhaps because of its proximity to the Holy Court, there were no powerful demonic beasts in Ferrara's territory.

As a result, Philip could not find a decent helper.

Now, he can only wait for midnight to fall.

See if you can find dark creatures or spooks that happen to teleport nearby.

Then take them to attack the village.

Judging by the prosperity of this village, it should be able to withstand the impact of monsters.

Philip didn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately.

As long as he can break the village's protective circle, he can sneak into the village quietly.

Then, with the help of his stealthy form, find Nock Lane and kill him in one blow.

This time, he must not spare his hand again.

He believed that when the monsters attacked the village,

The borrowed Nock Lane and his party will definitely come out to help defend,

When the time comes, Philip will be able to take advantage of the chaos to kill Nock Lane and snatch the Holy Spear away.

With his flying speed, even if others find out, they can't stop him!

Philip, who had made up his mind, stood on the big tree at the entrance of the village, waiting silently.

His eyes kept staring at a white shield in front of him.

This shield is the village's protective circle.

People now don't know that in the past, the village was all set up by the Holy Church underground.

The eye can be a church, an icon of the church, or even the symbol of the Holy Cross of the church.

Or even the holy water enshrined in the eye of the array!

As long as it is an item that provides divine power to the formation, it can activate the underground defensive shield at night.

It's just that people don't know this very well now.

It is only near the Holy Court that there are some obscure accounts.

Of course, there must be a record in the church that as long as the clergy who study theology seriously,

will be proficient in one or two such formations.

The remote villages don't know why, but they only know that according to the tradition, the "holy relics" are offered to the eyes of the village.

Or just build a church.

Newly built churches, with priests occupied, usually secretly help the village to set up defensive barriers.

The church has rules for these things, and it cannot be said explicitly.

Because this is the foundation of the Holy Church's foothold on the mainland.

Even if other sects have similar circle enchantments, they are not as good as the Holy Church.

Therefore, the church hides this kind of thing from the people.

The people only know that the wilderness is dangerous at night, and only the towns are safe.

The few villages with churches are also safe.

As for other villages that do not believe in evil and build themselves, they often become sacrifices in the night.

No wise lord would make such a mistake.

Even if they can't afford to build a church, they will ask a priest to help build the village's guardian facilities.

This is why, even though the Holy Church has begun to decay, the kingdoms still dare not openly rebel.

Until there is no institution that can replace the Holy Church, even if there is an ambitious king,

I don't dare to be as iron as the Black Bull Country.

Although their Red Fire Sect is also very powerful, it still can't solve the problem of the people being attacked by dark creatures at night.

It is said that now the Black Bull Kingdom can only suppress the mood of the people by force, and try to gather the villages in the wild into small towns.

Expand the town and protect the expanded town with the church left behind by the Holy Church.

For this reason, there were complaints in the Black Bull Kingdom, and many peasants lost their land and were annexed and exploited by the nobles.

There are even people who are unable to live in the town and are forced to sell themselves into slavery.

Philip was not an ignorant citizen, on the contrary, he was familiar with the various codexes and traditions left by the old priests.

Know that each village has its own protective circle.

Even Colora Village has it.

It's just that when the evil spirit fled the church, it destroyed the eye of the church.

Neither Philip nor Nock discovered this at the time.

This allowed the dark creatures to find an opportunity and attack the injured villagers of Colora.

But the monster that attacked the village of Corolla that night, Philip was no opponent, even if he solved the evil spirit and came back,

There was no chance to rescue the villagers.

He could only blame Nock for his incompetence.

Nock didn't know about this at all, otherwise he knew the truth,

Back when Philip first came to the door, he gave Philip a shot.

"Whew~"

Suddenly, a wolf howl came from the night,

This made Philip's eyes light up as he waited.

There are wolves!

The presence of wolves means that there are wolves, after all, close to the area of human activities, lone wolves dare not approach.

Only wolves dare to roam the area where humans live unscrupulously.

Philip was about to set off to drive the wolves away.

But suddenly caught the sound of rustling.

Huge gray wolves emerged from the nearby fields and bushes,

It slowly converged at the entrance of the village.

These wolves want to attack the village!

Philip was shocked!

couldn't help but leak a trace of breath,

Unexpectedly, a black wolf larger than all gray wolves actually ran and rushed towards the tree where Philip was.

Then he leaped forward and slapped his claws at where Philip was.

Rumble!

Philip saw the opportunity quickly, and flew into the night sky in his true body of the Blood Clan.

But the trees suffered and were photographed as sawdust.

Bang!

Thousands of pounds of tree trunks collapsed to the ground, and the vibration sent out woke up the villagers who lived near the entrance of the village.

With the sound of swearing, several houses were lit up.

It's just that when they walked out of the house and saw the dense blue light at the entrance of the village,

Suddenly frightened stupid.

Lots of eyes!

Some bold villagers reacted that this was a monster attacking the village, and they were immediately scared to the point that their scalps were numb.

The voice of the voice was broken, and he shouted: "Come on! Monster! Lots of monsters! Monsters are attacking the village! ”

The villagers, who were awakened by the shouting, joined in the frightened shouting,

Some people even ran directly to the church to pull the alarm bell in the village outside the church.

"Dangdang, dang, dang!"

A series of rapid bells finally woke up the whole village.

Even Nock and the others, who were staying in the church, quickly knew what was going on.

For the riots in the village, the giant wolves outside the village didn't care,

On the contrary, the black giant wolf, which was three meters tall at the shoulder, stared at the bats flying in the sky, and actually spoke.

"Dracula boy, why are you spying on us? without giving a suitable reason,

Even if you are punished by Master Dracula, I will kill you! ”

The giant wolf's voice was not old, but a bit like that of a middle-aged man.

But the words of the giant wolf made Philip in the sky very unhappy.

"Hehe, I said where did the wild wolf come from so bold as to dare to attack the gathering place of humans.

It turned out to be a werewolf clan.

This place is next to the Holy Court, so you are not afraid of death?

How dare you attack humans here. Aren't you afraid of causing a great war between humanity and the dark world again? ”

When the black giant wolf heard Philip's innocent words, he was immediately displeased.

He stood up directly, and then let out a long roar at the sky, turning into a werewolf with a wolf's head and a human body.

Of course, the so-called human body does not refer to the human body, but to the subhuman form that approaches the human body.

Its claws are still claws, except that they can grasp things like human hands.

The feet can also stand like humans, but they are still wolf legs, and they tend to be hoofs!

But no one will question the lethality and explosiveness of this guy.

If the previous giant wolf form, the black wolf is already a giant beast,

Then the black wolf in the form of a werewolf is a giant.

The height of five meters is comparable to that of the legendary giant cub.

But Philip felt that this was not a reason for it to provoke the Holy Court!

Even if the king of the dwarf race, the mountain giant of the blood atavistic ancestor, that is already close to the existence of the gods,

He is a demigod-level master, a demigod peak who is even more powerful than Dracula.

They may not dare to argue with the Holy Court.

Because dwarves can forge, half of the artifacts on the continent are made by dwarves.

Even the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci had to bow down.

It is said that Leonardo da Vinci was able to make a holy artifact, but he could not make any artifact.

Therefore, except for the Pope of the Holy Court playing scoundrels, the dwarven king of the hills,

is the real number one master of the mainland's default.

But the Holy Court has a rich heritage, in addition to the Pope's suit and the artifact [Holy Grail], the artifact [Bible],

also shamelessly brought the holy dragon Fiona, which is called a mount.

Holy Dragon Fiona, that is the immortal existence who challenged the gods in the battle of the gods,

It is also one of the only five dragons left in the continent!

Proper demigod-level peak, some people even suspect that the five great dragons are god-level.

Therefore, no one dares to deny the first of the pope, but they are not convinced.

The Holy Court has such a strong strength, even other top forces in the continent dare not provoke it.

Why would the werewolves dare to attack the human village under the nose of the Holy Court!

Philip no longer doubted that the werewolves in front of him would be able to break through the village's defenses.

In the end, it is just a village, and it is impossible for the defensive circle to withstand the werewolf elite.

Because after the normal werewolf clan transforms into a werewolf, the height is only about two meters,

The strong point can be two, five to three meters.

That's basically the leader of a werewolf tribe.

But the five-meter-tall werewolf, which made Philip think of a name.

"You are the Wolf King Bekhanmu! Damn it! You actually brought out the elite of the wolf clan,

Don't you want to make it to the Holy Court? You are crazy! ”

Looking at the gray giant wolves after turning into werewolves, each werewolf is more than three meters tall.

This is a werewolf elite, this is clearly the leader of various werewolf tribes!

"Dracula's boy, you know too much. It seems that you can't be left behind.

Otherwise, I'll be very distressed if you go back and talk nonsense to Master Dracula.

After all, we werewolves are still under the command of Master Dracula! ”

Bekhanmu said, kicking his legs, and disappeared to the ground,

Appears in the sky above Philip.

"Dracula's boy, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you for having nothing to do!

See what you shouldn't see! ”

Philip didn't expect that the wolf king would dare to make a move after knowing his identity and background.

You know, his ancestor Dracula is the number one master of the blood clan!

An existence that even pure-blood clans would not dare to provoke!

In the dark world, he is recognized as the uncrowned king!

There are countless dark races that have taken refuge in Dracula over the years.

All of them made the Blood Clan Elders jealous.

But the wolf king actually dared to attack and kill him!

Philip was so shocked that he lost his chance to dodge.

Although the wolf king's body is huge, the wolf king's strength is also strong.

The coercion of the holy level was directly enveloped on Philip.

Philip didn't have time to resist at all,

was slapped on the body by the wolf king Beckhanmu with a paw.

Bang!

Philip exploded directly into a blood mist and disappeared into the air.

Boom!

The wolf king Beck fell to the ground, but his face did not have a trace of joy in killing the enemy, but it was very ugly.

"Damn it! That kid actually has 'Dracula's protection' on him!

He had been teleported back to Dracula by Dracula's bloodline summoning technique.

We can't hide it!

Brothers, fight quickly, break through the village, and complete the deal with that man,

Then we immediately returned to the tribe and moved the people to a new stronghold.

With the protection of those people, we don't have to grovel to those stinky bats anymore!

When I go any further, even if it's Dracula, I'll tear him up! ”

"Whew! Whew! ”

The werewolves responded to the wolf king's words with a wolf howl, and under the leadership of the wolf king, launched an attack on the village.

The inhabitants, organized by the priest of the church, summoned up the courage to gather at the entrance of the village with weapons,

But I saw a werewolf with a strong physique and a hideous face.

Suddenly frightened, my soul was frightened, and my heart was frightened.

Where do you still have the courage to fight, just throw down the weapon in your hand, and scatter as a bird and beast.

The priest didn't expect that the werewolves of the dark race were actually attacking the village.

Werewolves are brutal and murderous, and once the village's defenses are broken, the villagers will only die!

But with the defense of the village-level church alone, it can't resist this powerful group of werewolves at all.

Especially the black werewolf standing in front, the priest felt that the village's magic circle could not even block its blow.

Just when the priest was about to go back to Richelieu, the candidate for cardinal, for help.

However, he heard a "whoosh" of the village's defensive shield and turned into fragments in the air.

Then, a huge claw grabbed his head.

Before he could react to what had happened, his eyes caught a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth.

"Poof!"

Bloodied and the priest lost consciousness.

Before he lost consciousness, the only thought on the priest's mind was: this girl has bad breath!

As for Nock and the others, who were missed by the priest, as soon as they learned that the village had been attacked,

I thought it was Philip who shot again.

But when they heard the wolf howl, they realized that something was wrong.

Because of the smell outside the village, they all felt scared.

Nock felt that Philip would not have been able to find such a helper.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been harassing Nock and the others until now.

So, knowing that the village could not be defended, Nock, after discussing it with Richelieu,

Directly relented, boarded the carriage, and escaped from the other side of the village while the villagers were not paying attention.

After the werewolf entered the village, he found that the target was gone, so he could only kill all the living mouths of the village.

Then he hurried towards the tribe.

They were to get their people away before Dracula arrived.

As for the deal with the man, the attack on the village and the scare away target have been completed.

It's about the end of the task.
