"..."
Laura Fana tilted her head and looked for a long time. After she was sure that Count Vlad would not stand up again this time, she let out a sigh of relief.
"I thought we were dead."
"Why, you have no confidence in me?"
Yin Xiu shook the mocking wind sword in his hand, and the blood dispersed along with the green light.
"It's not that I don't have confidence in you, it's that that guy is too scary."
Laura Fana patted her chest, still feeling incredible.
"I also know that he is scary, cousin. Do you think I'm not scared?"
"I can't see you're afraid."
Laura Fana shook her head, "Let's go!"
"Where to go?" Yin Xiu asked her.
Laura Fanna chin twitched, "Of course I'm going back to the castle! If I guessed correctly, the reason why the brave detective is not here is because he went to deal with those [hand tails] inside, right?"
"You are indeed right."
Yin Xiu grinned, "But you went to the wrong place."
"Wrong way?" Laura Fana couldn't help but be startled.
"Yes."
Yin Xiu pointed in the opposite direction to the castle, "You should go that way."
"Where to go?"
"Whatever you want, I'll find a ship for you that can keep you safe. You can sail to Dunling. After that, whether you want to go to Berlin, the Far East, or somewhere else, I'll have a way for you to go there. ”
"What?"
Laura Fana did not react, "Shouldn't we go back now, inherit the Blood Count, and then deal with the Red Emperor together?"
"You are wrong," Yin Xiu shook his head, "Or maybe I was wrong."
Yin Xiu straightened his collar.
"Laura Fanna, didn't the brave detective say one of our old sayings before? It's called Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.
When we brought you back, we actually didn't consider whether you wanted to come back or not. We just thought about sending you back. The Nicholas family fulfilled their agreement and became part of our plan, that's all.
But then I discovered that there was nothing wrong with all this. The only problem was that we shouldn't have asked for your opinion, Laura Fana.
In fact, you don’t plan to be an earl and inherit the family. You just want to live a leisurely life. How is the vampire world, how is Europe, let alone the distant Far East that you can’t get along with? Don't care about these things.
Is this correct? Or is this idea wrong?
I think in fact, in the eyes of others, there may be different opinions. Some people think you are wrong, and some think you are right. But in fact, the most important thing is how you see it yourself.
If someone wants to force you to do something, that would be the biggest mistake.
Laura Fana, you have to choose the life you want, that's the most important thing. ”
"Of course I know this is the case. Responsibility, family honor, etc. are just clouds and illusions to me."
Laura Fana pursed her lips, "But, I also know that the life I thought I was happy in the past was actually because my family supported me behind the scenes.
Just like now, it's very simple for me to leave Dunling, but you have to bear the storm after that, right? Just like always.
This is too selfish and irresponsible. ”
"But, isn't it that what you hate most is being responsible?"
Yin Xiu narrowed her eyes, "It doesn't matter, Laura Fanna, sometimes things can be the same if there is one less person and one more person.
Sometimes I wonder, even if I didn't exist in this world, wouldn't those weird things happen?
Maybe those things will still happen and nothing will change. In that case, what's the difference between having one more me and one less me?
Laura Fana, you are not as important as you think. If you reject the position of Count Nicholas, they will soon find another person to take your place. This is bound to happen.
So even if you leave now, it won't have any impact on the overall situation. ”
Laura Fana's eyes were red, "So, you mean it doesn't matter? Even if I just leave like this?"
"That's right."
Yin Xiu rubbed Laura Fana's really soft and smooth blond hair, "I said, you don't like to be close to the storm, so you just go away, forget about responsibilities and missions, and just live what you like. Life, that’s it.”
"But that's not fair," Laura Fana murmured softly.
"It doesn't matter, everyone only fights for their own goals and ideals, which is fair enough."
Yin Xiu removed her hands from her head and straightened her clothes again.
He had decided to wait for Laura Fana to leave and then go back to the castle to take a look.
At that time, whether he announced Laura Fana's death or said she had escaped, he would let the Nicholas family elect another count.
Joseph should not be dead yet. According to Yinxiu, Joseph is a good candidate.
However, after waiting for a long time, Laura Fana still had no intention of leaving.
"Okay?"
Yin Xiu frowned, "Don't think that because I'm a gentleman, I won't give you a good beating! Why don't you leave?"
Laura Fana smiled and asked him: "So do you like storms?"
Yin Xiu shook his head without hesitation, "To tell you the truth, my biggest dream is to lie on the beach in Hawaii and bask in the sun, surrounded by beautiful women, and have so much money that I can't spend it all.
Instead of fighting and killing here, fighting those vampires and werewolves in close combat. ”
"But, in this case, wouldn't you have no chance to see me?" Laura Fana blinked.
"You think someone is happy to see you." Yin Xiu rolled her eyes angrily.
"Hmph!"
Laura Fana simply laughed out of anger, folding her hands in front of her chest, unable to help but doubt her own charm.
After a pause, she asked: "Then you have said that things in this world are the same without you, so why do you have to get involved in these things? Isn't it good to enjoy life freely in Hawaii?
Is it because someone needs your help, or is it because you have a lot of things that you can't let go of? ”
"Neither."
Yin Xiu waved her hand, "In fact, the reason why I am willing to plunge myself into these bloody storms is because of hope."
"Hope?"
Laura Fana frowned, obviously unable to understand. "Yes, it is the hope of making everything better. Maybe I can't change anything by participating in it. But maybe it just won't work this time, it won't work now. I bet everything on the possibility that may not yet appear. Hope.”
"Isn't that the same as begging God to come?"
"If you want to put it this way, it's almost the same."
Yin Xiu spread her hands, "Maybe the legendary Messiah who can save the world is not me. I am just playing some kind of role-playing game, or in other words, I am the little soldier who waved the flag and shouted before the main character appeared."
"But you seem to be enjoying it?"
"Uh-huh," Yin Xiu smiled with her eyes, "I said, it doesn't matter, I am willing to do these things for that vague hope. This is the path I chose. No one forced me, and no one gave me any promises. Conditions.”
"Then you are really a happy, pure person."
After Laura Fanna wiped her face, she suddenly took Yin Xiu's hand.
"What are you doing?" Yin Xiu was startled by her.
"Why not, let's go back."
Laura Fana smiled brightly, "You have convinced me, oh no, I should say you have given me a reason to face these terrible things."
Yin Xiu hesitated, "You mean hope?"
"Yes, there is hope."
Laura Fana nodded, "Although I don't think there is a Messiah in this world who can lead everyone to a better future, because I am a vampire, not a human. If the Messiah wants people to do good, he must be eliminated first. Werewolves and vampires?
But I am willing to put all my hopes in you, Yin Xiu, because I feel that you are the one who can help everyone break out of this despair.
Just like now, I was originally supposed to be stabbed to death by Count Vlad with a sword, but I stood here and learned something, which made me no longer resist becoming Count Nicholas.
In other words, the reason why I am willing to become a count is because I put my hope in you. This is how I support you. ”
Yin Xiu let out a long sigh, feeling that the burden on his shoulders seemed to be heavier again.
It used to be the fate of Kyushu, the rise and fall of Taoism, and the entrustment of friends. Now, even the beautiful vampire nobles have to place some hope on him?
"What do you want?" Yin Xiu asked her.
"First of all," Laura Fana's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, "I have to survive, don't I?"
"It's easy." Yin Xiu smiled.
When the two of them walked slowly back to the castle, just as they had imagined, after wiping out Count Vlad, the remaining guys were no longer fearful.
Luo Wei quickly dealt with them and was sitting at the foot of the steps in the hall, staring at, or in other words confronting, everyone.
As soon as he saw Yin Xiu coming in and Laura Fana's figure, Luo Wei couldn't help but feel a little dazed, "Didn't you agree to let her go?"
"I've changed my mind."
Laura Fana smiled and said: "I did some calculations along the way. If I become the earl of the Nicholas family, the bankruptcy problem that bothers me will no longer seem to be a problem.
I can't spend all the huge wealth of this ancient family even if I just lie down. ”
She seemed to be serious. Luo Wei shook his head and glanced at Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu blinked, indicating that she was also confused.
Then he turned his head and looked at the vampires present who looked at him rather unkindly.
"Do you know this guy?"
Yin Xiu dropped a package on the ground in front of him, and it landed right in the middle of the Nicholas family coat of arms.
The package was loosened, and Count Vlad's head rolled out from inside, his face covered with dried blood.
Joseph stood aside and was the first to recognize that it was Count Vlad, and then almost all the vampires present recognized him.
At this time, Yin Xiucai cleared his throat.
"This is Dame Laura Fana's punishment for the traitor. This head will always be hung on the tower of the castle as a warning to others."
Everyone was as silent as a cicada.
I don't know whether it was Laura Fana who did it after inheriting the blood blessing, or the murderous oriental in front of her.
However, they didn't know the strength of this orientalist, but they knew the power of another orientalist, Luo Wei, so soon everyone's attention shifted from Laura Fanna to Yin Xiu.
But Yin Xiu didn't intend to say anything, he just walked and stood behind Laura Fana.
Laura Fana looked around and found that the dagger used for the inheritance ceremony had fallen to the ground.
"Does it have to be a dagger?" She glanced at Joseph.
Joseph was stunned for a moment and replied: "This is the rule of the ancestors. The inheritance ceremony of blood descendants has been like this for thousands of years. In order to obtain the blessings of the dark gods, there is also..."
Laura Fana interrupted him, "Just tell me, can you just drop the blood on the soil in the box?"
"That's [Holy Blood], not dirt."
Joseph responded in a low voice. After realizing that several people did not intend to listen to his explanation, he could only give up and nodded: "Absolutely."
"Okay, wait for me."
Laura Fanna suddenly hid behind Yin Xiu and turned around.
When she came out again, a few drops of blood fell from her fingertips and fell into the box.
Amid a deep moan, red, black, and green lights flowed toward Laura Fana's chest.
Laura Fana's pupils became as sharp as needles, and her body trembled slightly.
Yin Xiu took a step away, and everyone looked at Laura Fana.
Finally, after the light disappeared, Laura Fana returned to her original state without any changes.
It's just that her temperament seems to be different from before, becoming more beautiful and solemn, with a kind of beauty that cannot be blasphemed.
The inheritance ceremony of the blood descendants is completed.
All the vampires were half-kneeling, or holding their skirts on their knees, to pay homage to Laura Fana Sophia von Nicholas, the new Count Nicholas.
For a long or short period of time in the future, she will be the only remaining count of the Bloodline.
In other words, she will also be the count who opens a new era of vampires, a new era, which has a special meaning.
Laura Fana nodded gently to everyone, showing off her noble and beautiful chin.
As she sat on the chair, the family leaders stepped forward one after another, kissed the back of her hand, and swore allegiance.
Of course, Yin Xiu and Luo Wei stood aside and "watched" the ceremony.
"By the way, when did Laura Fana become so powerful that she learned how to force bleeding from her fingers? Did you teach her?" Luo Wei asked curiously.
Yin Xiu glanced at him, shook her head and said, "I don't know from my fingers. You have to remember that Laura Fana is no different from a normal girl. She will also feel uncomfortable sometimes."
Luo Wei was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
Yin Xiu had a strange look on her face, "I don't have any fingers." (End of Chapter)
