268 The end of chaos
As the night drew to a close, a large group of vampires flew out of the darkness, screaming and pounced into the crowd, a group of guards seemed vulnerable to the attacks of vampires and blood slaves, and soon the female vampire Merce appeared next to the carriage, but when she lifted the curtain, she saw only empty carriages and open spell scrolls suspended above a magic circle.
This made her immediately know how brilliant the idea she came up with, but it was obviously too late to regret it, her body just jumped backwards, and before she flashed a few yards, half of her body was blown up by a shocking explosion, and her consciousness was darkened, and at the back of the line, several guards who looked like they hadn't woken up, at the moment when the vampire appeared, their eyes widened for a moment, and their depressed expressions were swept away, as if they had changed in this one action.
They swung their swords and maces or chanted incantations, and divine light flickered around them with their chanting, occasionally shining on the vampire's bodies, and the dark creatures let out piercing screams.
"It's an ambush by the lackeys of Tyr, get out of here," a vampire cried sharply.
However, the counterattack from the Temple of Tyre was unusually resolute, and the battle ended before dawn, when another carriage slowly passed through the battlefield from behind, and the wizard took Vika's hand while looking at the priests who had picked up the vampire corpses with wooden poles and purified them with holy water.
"Vika, you're so clever that you knew they might be ambushing you here. Hiccor hugged Vika's waist and carefully covered the quilt on the hostess.
"It's easy to guess. Nephies pouted, "Or are these vampires stupid." ”
"Perhaps. The wizard patted the little girl's head and looked at Vika with some shame: "If it weren't for my presence, maybe things wouldn't have changed so hastily." ”
"It's nothing, if you don't show up, after a while, maybe even if I find out, I won't be able to do anything at all, Penny ......" Vika shook her head: "I really can't imagine that Corradi will actually betray us, they have been serving Edmund for hundreds of years." ”
"Where there is interest, there is betrayal, not to mention vampire incitement. ”
"Perhaps, thank you for bringing my dad out, if he was still inside, it would have been even worse this time. Vika sighed.
"Why do you say thank you?" Penny pinched Vika's fingers, "You're my family, and so is he." ”
"But......" The wizard's words brought worry back to Vika's face.
"Don't worry, I didn't hurt him. Penny naturally knew what Vika was worried about, and could only laugh dryly with some confidence.
"I ...... I mean, you can teach him a lesson, but ......" Penny was a little shocked that the proprietress was as red as a little girl, and this rare expression made the wizard immediately defeated: "I'll send someone to release him right away." ”
Seeing Penny instruct the Black Sea Gang's thugs to deliver orders, Vika's face showed a look of complete relaxation.
"Don't relax just yet. Getting closer and closer to Edmont's mansion, the wizard whispered in Vika's ear, "One last thing. ”
One last thing?
Vika's gaze fluttered for a moment, and finally nodded.
All efforts were in vain, and his grandfather's life was lost, and Schukoladi immediately fell into a panic, and his heart tightened like a screw when he saw the large group of men approaching from the tall buildings of Edmund, knowing that if he did not find a way to escape, the consequences would be predictable.
His prestige was not as good as that of his grandfather, and if old Corradi was here, he might have been able to incite and deceive the guards, make a desperate struggle, and perhaps turn the tide, but he didn't have the guts, and he didn't want to take the risk.
So fleeing became the only viable option.
He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and walked through the corridor with his soft legs, although he didn't pack his luggage, he knew more clearly that throwing his precious time on dealing with this kind of thing now was equivalent to taking an extra step into hell, and it was better to run away with this free time.
However, as the temporary guard commander of Edmont Mansion, all the guards are waiting for his orders, so it is obviously a luxury for him to escape quietly, and before he can walk through the two corridors, he is blocked by more than a dozen guard wheels: "My lord, the master has been taken captive, and the young lady has not come back yet, and we are still waiting for your orders." ”,
"This ......" Schulcoradi's eyes rolled rapidly, and his head was covered with cold sweat, and he ordered: "Didn't I tell you, pay attention to patrols, stick to your posts, and don't let thieves sneak in again." ”
"But...... Mr. Corradi, the thieves are gone, shouldn't we send someone to inform the young lady of the Temple of Tyre?"
"Oh, she'll be back soon. Hukoradi wiped his forehead, "You can go to the front door to meet him." ”
"But my lord, what are you going to do?" one of the guards noticed the handsome man's strange behavior, "You don't look right, is it because you're not feeling well?"
Immediately, more guards suddenly rose: "Oh, old Corradi is gone, his soul will return to the guardians, and the Immortal will judge his whereabouts fairly, please mourn." ”
"Mourn your head, I have other things. The sound of the approaching brigade was getting closer and closer, and the oppressive feeling of the coming crisis made Xiukoradi completely lose the mood to talk with these guards, he pushed away one of the guards, and rushed towards the end of the corridor in three steps and two steps, these guards did not know why, only thought that Xiukoradi was out of his grief because of too much grief, until the sound of spell amplification came in from outside, and their faces began to change:
"Guards and attendants in the mansion, I am Vika, Horth Corradi and Shokoradi, who are colluding with vampires to obtain Edmund's family property and murder me and my father, with the assistance of the Temple of Tyre and the Civic Council, we have ruined his plans, please take immediate action to arrest the first offender, Hukoradi, do not listen to his demagoguery, the Edmont family will repay your actions and contributions......"
"It's really Miss Vika. The guards standing on the high ground saw the woman standing in the carriage at the gate, and they all exclaimed, which also alerted the guards who blocked Xiukoradi, and in the time of these few words, Xiukoradi had not run far, and more and more guards from all directions blocked Xiukoradi at the door of the backyard.
"Wait, she's lying. Shokoradi shrank in the corner with a shudder, his heart full of fear, but he knew that it was a matter of life and death, and began to quibble: "She was controlled by an evil wizard, and that wizard just stole the master"
He waved his hands excitedly, trying to add to the persuasiveness of his words: "My grandfather and I tried to save her, and we were slandered like this, and what I said was true. ”
The guards looked at each other.
"Hey, the Temple of Tyre and the Civic Council are out there. One of the guards spoke, "Guys, we should be able to trust them. ”
"But what if they're also indulged?" said another guard, "that wizard did steal the old man from the hospital bed just now." ”
"Maybe Miss Vika is telling the truth. The guards discussed: "The purpose of the wizard taking away the master is to protect him." ”
"Wait, wait," Schulcoradi hissed, "don't trust them, you don't want to think about who keeps paying you?"
"It's old Corradi, it's good. The guard's reply gave hope to Shokoradis, and his face shone at the same time.
"Then let me go, I don't have the strength to deal with them now, but I will come back one day, I will save the lord and lady who are controlled by the wizards, I will expose their conspiracy, please believe me, I will remember your kindness. Schukoladi shouted with tears in his eyes.
"All right, brothers. One of the guards sighed, and Hugh Corradi walked over to the guard with a happy face, but was grabbed by the hand: "But the money that old Corradi sent us came from Edmont, and more importantly, we don't want to lose our jobs or anything worse because we let you go, so little Corradi, we have no choice but to let you be a victim of justice in your own heart." ”
"What?" Hukoladi hissed and flailed wildly at the frenzy of a chicken, but only in vain, and his body hung on a pole in the center of the city square shortly after all the commotion was over.
"He doesn't know anything. Archbishop Qajar frowned: "Those vampires are indeed very secretive, and they don't leave us the slightest trick. ”
"He's just a little foot. The wizard looked up at the hanging corpse and shook his head: "A vampire-controlled tool can't expect anything useful to come out of his mouth. ”,
"That being said, we can still find a clue in him...... "Archbishop Qajar muttered, pulling out a ring on which the ruby caught the wizard's attention, but the gray sheen told the wizard that the spell had been destroyed.
"This is what our Inquisitor plucked from his fingers. Khazar handed the ring to the wizard: "There are spells related to the dark forces hidden inside, but they were destroyed before we could find out. ”
The wizard observed the ring, and was not surprised, if the ring had anything to do with the vampire, then the ring would have been destroyed when the piece was discarded - the dark creatures would not have allowed anyone to find their heads through this.
"Oh, it's a shame our skills aren't good enough to dig anything out of this tattered ring, we're laymen, after all. Khazar spread his hands: "Maybe you should be able to find something from above." ”
"Find what?" the wizard repeated, clutching the ring tightly with his hand.
"According to some unreliable information we have received, the vampires on the surface are under the command of the two dukes, but we have not yet touched the traces of these two dukes, we don't know where they are hiding, but it is clear that most of Simon's black and white resources are under their control. Khazar whispered in the wizard's ear, "Oh, of course, now that we are allies, they won't let us go." ”
It's a subtle reminder tinged by a warning.
The wizard glanced at Bishop Khazar and nodded slightly.
"Thank you for your advice, Your Excellency. ”
"It's nothing. Khazar smiled: "I want the darkness to move away from the city, and of course, it would be nice if there was more light." ”
"I hope so. Penny replied with a subtle expression.
A group of priests slowly walked away, and the wizard avoided the intricate glance coming from that direction and glanced down at the little Nephess biting the chicken leg.
A few stray wild cats seemed to smell the fragrance and walked over with cat steps, the little girl blinked her eyes, squatted down, tore the meat from the roast chicken leg one by one, and fed them to the little animals piece by piece, until the cats began to meow and walk away for a piece of bone, she wiped her oily fingers on her skirt and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand: "My lord, it's finally over." ”
"It's not over yet. The wizard shook his head noncommittally, and then the morning glow dissipated, and the morning light brightened, making his eyes flicker unnaturally, "But we can get a good night's sleep." ”
Nephies yawned and nodded heavily......
