Chapter 209 Return to Meng En City
In the shadows, Manseni's figure emerged: "I heard something happened, did you find anything?"
Her arrival made the original The somewhat depressing atmosphere became much more relaxed, and Byron wiped his head. Cold sweat: "Oh my God, can we stop talking here and let's leave quickly!"
More than ten days have passed since the last log entry. There is no way that the slaves in the bottom cabin are alive. It will be okay to stay any longer. Meaning, Denise nodded and left the cabin.
After returning to the deck, Byron was unwilling to stay on the boat any longer, so everyone had to accompany him to the shore.
"Listen to me, Mrs. Denise, and there are two knights." Byron said extremely seriously: "I'm not sure what kind of monster is on that ship, but it must be extremely evil, and it has swallowed more than 600 people on the ship. A life!"
"And he is very good at hiding, killing so many people without being really seen!"< br>
“The good news is that he seems to be afraid of light.”
“The best way now is to pull the ship ashore at dawn, burn it all with fire, and let my lord Weili purifies this evil!"
After saying this, Denise lowered her eyebrows and thought about something, and Webb also looked embarrassed.
This Galenic three-masted sailing ship is 47 meters long and 9 meters wide. It can sail smoothly on the sea and inland rivers. It can carry 770,000 pounds of cargo, which is about 350,000 kilograms. It can be said to be the largest in the entire Nord province. vessel.
As an inland city, even with a big river like the Munn River, the shipbuilding industry in Munn City is very immature and cannot build such a three-masted ship at all.
If you want to order another one, it will cost you at least 8,000-10,000 gold coins.
The money itself comes second, and the most important thing is time. Even if it is customized from Slaver's Bay, it will take at least a year and a half from the time the order is placed to the completion of the ship building.
And this ship originally belonged to the Bloody Harpoon. If it was burned, it would be an unacceptable result for the Chamber of Commerce and Webber.
After thinking about it, Denise said: "Priest Byron, can you please watch over this boat for a while? Afterwards, I will donate a sum of no less than 2,000 gold coins to the church in the name of the Chamber of Commerce."
"This..." Byron hesitated for a moment. His parish was in the lower town of Men's City, and it didn't have much business. Even if he was occasionally invited by businessmen to witness marriages and baptisms, it would only cost a thousand coins a year. Gold coins up and down.
2000 gold coins, full of temptation.
But he really has no experience in fighting with others. If something happens, his life will be gained or lost!
Weber continued: "Don't worry, you are not the only one. The security forces, Manson and I will be here to accompany you."
Denise advised again: "And if you can annihilate this evil spirit, you can also get a commendation from the Holy See."
This was a reassurance for Byron, and he nodded: "That's something to say. Okay, 10 days, 10 days at most! After that, you must burn the ship!”
Denise nodded in agreement, then immediately returned to the Chamber of Commerce, wrote a letter to Raven, and then spent 23.71 gold coins to ask the Mercenary Guild to This letter and the captain's diary were sent to the Eagle Territory together.
This is an air express using the mercenary guild.
Issued in the afternoon and delivered to Eagle Fort early the next morning.
When the food arrived, Raven was eating breakfast, and then he lost his appetite at all due to the smell.
But he also knew that Denise was not a little girl who didn’t know her priorities. Something big must have happened, so he immediately opened the letter.
The content of the letter was very simple. Denise knew that Margaret was a witch, so she vaguely mentioned that she asked Raven to send Margaret over to see if the problem could be solved.
After all, the matter is probably related to the "curse".
If that doesn't work, the only option is to set fire to the boat.
Raven frowned. Originally there were 500 craftsman slaves and 100 war slaves on this ship, with a total value of 13,362 gold coins, but they were all wasted.
If he loses another ship, the gold coins on his account will drop by another level!
After reading the letter and reading the diary carefully, Raven called Margaret and handed the diary to her.
Margaret picked up the diary, frowned slightly, sniffed and said, "Lord Baron, this is the smell of 'evil'."
Nie, Raven saw This word is a name for people who have mutated after being infected by darkness and negative energy.
To be able to produce this kind of change in people, even if it is just an ordinary person, it is probably level three or above!
When Margaret read the log, Raven asked: "Can you see any problem?"
"From the log, it seems that the creature on the ship is nocturnal and lies dormant during the day. , acts secretly, and although he is very bloodthirsty, he obviously still has a certain amount of sanity. There is basically only one possibility that meets these conditions. "
"A vampire, and a vampire who has been sealed for a long time and is hungry for blood. —At least the Viscount."
Raven's fingers tapped on the table.
Vampires are a mysterious, cruel and elegant race. They call themselves "vampires", and each vampire has his own title.
The first level is a knight, the second level is a baron, the third level is a viscount, the fourth level is an earl, the fifth level is a marquis, the sixth level is a duke, the seventh level is a prince, the eighth level is a king, and the ninth level is called the Scarlet Emperor .
Their lives are longer than those of elves, but if they do not drink blood for a long time, they will slowly become dry, old and die.
And it is certain that this vampire should have just woken up, and even if it has reason, it will not be too much.
For vampires, blood-sucking is about quality rather than quantity. A first-level blood sucker is stronger than dozens of mortals. He madly slaughtered 600 people on the entire ship. It must be because he could not suppress his desire. Blood thirsty instinct.
Not to mention, this will also attract the attention of the powerful humans.
"Master, since Mrs. Denise has said it, then I am willing to take on this job!"
Raven shook his head and smiled slightly: "No, this time I will do it myself Go.”
He wants to see with his own eyes what this guy who caused him to lose tens of thousands of gold coins in vain, and may even lose a three-masted sailboat, looks like!
But before that, he had to make some preparations.
Raven first went to the Eagle Town Church and asked Lux for a 71-year-old silver basin containing holy water. He sent it to the blacksmithing workshop to forge three hand-held crossbow arrows, and then he did it himself, adding a 71-year-old silver basin to it. level of explosive enchantment.
After that, he got into the secret room and refined two bottles of "Oil of Light" using holy water as the base.
The silver basin that has been filled with holy water for a long time has an excellent restraint effect on dark creatures such as vampires. The oil of light can be applied to the body to burn the dark creatures that try to get close.
In order to be sure of insurance, Raven also stored a second-order magic mirror shadow in the staff, and asked Lux to store two first-order magic "Holy Light Shining" in it to ensure that it could shine. Flowers for the eyes of dark creatures.
In the end, Raven even sent Margaret to contact Bone Dragon, preparing him to follow him at any time. If anything happens, he will immediately come to the rescue!
In response, Margaret commented: "Master, you are really... careful!"
Lei Wen said: "You don't understand, the son of a rich man cannot sit down and sit down. I have already suffered a loss once. I won’t eat it again.”
That morning, Raven set off on the hippogryph and headed straight for Meng’en City.
Depart in the morning and arrive in the evening.
There is a no-fly policy over Munn City. In order to express respect for the Slater family, Raven dropped off outside the city and walked to the city.
Not far away, Raven heard a shout from the distance: "Don't run!"
Looking at the sound, he saw a man running wildly with a black package in his arms, moving quickly. Incomparable.
Although it is not extraordinary, this speed can be seen from practice, and ordinary first-level extraordinary people cannot catch up.
However, the next moment, a neat figure appeared in front of the man.
It is Manseni.
She wore a wide-brimmed military cap on her short hair, and her face was hidden in the shadow of the military cap. She was dressed in a neat white military uniform. She stood there with her hands behind her back, her clothes flying, and her heroic appearance!
“Hand over what you stole.” Manseni said coldly in a neutral voice.
The man gritted his teeth. There were walls to the left and right, and Manseni was in front of him. There was no way to hide!
After a brief weighing, the man suddenly howled, threw the object in his arms at Manseni, turned around and was about to run away.
The alley was narrow, and Manseni seemed to have no room to dodge. However, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, she moved sideways, suddenly stepped on the wall, and started running on the wall!
She ran higher and higher, and after passing the man, she twisted her waist, her military uniform shirt flew, and landed firmly in front of the man: "Keep running." "We are all in the same group, there is no need to be so extreme! ?" the man shouted.
Since becoming a security force, Manseni was most afraid of anyone calling her a thief. Her expression changed immediately when she heard this.
The man took this opportunity, bent down and rushed forward, with a bright dagger in his hand.
Manseni's slender and powerful thighs were raised, and the outline of the muscles could be clearly seen through the tight cloth of the military uniform.
Bang.
As the man screamed, the dagger flew high, and his whole body was opened wide. Manseni rushed forward, grabbed his right hand and bent it hard, and the man immediately covered it He knelt down on his shoulders.
"You are very skilled, Manson Knight." Raven clapped his hands and walked up: "It seems that I did not choose the wrong person to leave the security of this area to you."
Raven had used the Eye of Truth before, and was somewhat surprised to find that Manseni had been promoted to the second level.
"Lord Baron!" Manson saluted respectfully: "Since you are here, would you like to follow me to the scene first?"
It was almost dusk now, and vampires were the darlings of the night. It was not wise to fight against them at night, so Raven was not in a hurry to go to the dock and decided to rest for the night and talk about it in the morning.
Soon the security forces soldiers came and took the man away. Manseni had to change shifts with Weber at night, so she did not escort Raven.
Lei Wen didn’t care and went all the way to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
"Why did you come so fast?" Denise was stunned for a moment, stood up and faced Raven, and at the same time she was a little nervous: "You should send someone to say something, or have someone bring a reply. I It’s better to be a little prepared.”
Although Vesdon’s words were unintentional, Denise also listened to them. In the past few days, she always subconsciously wondered if she was really getting older.
But this worry is completely unnecessary.
Her dark hair was combed into a ball on the back of her head with a silver hairpin, and her face was painted with light makeup.
The upper body is a light blue women's suit, with tight cuffs and a very high collar, which covers her plump figure, but cannot cover her slender waist.
The dark blue hip-hugging skirt made her figure upright, and the flesh-colored stockings clung to her legs and were submerged in black high-heeled shoes.
Strict, arrogant, and repulsive to others, but the more he was like this, the more it made Lei Wen's heart burn.
"Long time no see." Just like when they first met, Raven took Denise's hand and kissed the back of her hand, while gently scratching her palm with his little finger.
Denise's face turned red and she retracted her hand.
That night, Raven stayed, and Denise cooked a warm family dinner herself.
For the first time in a long time, Raven took Denise in his left hand and Vesdon in his right hand, and prayed before the meal.
If there is anything that is not going well, it is Vesdon. This guy seems to be deliberately trying to get into trouble with Raven. No matter how he hints, he stays there like a light bulb and refuses to leave.
Raven wasn't the only one who was unhappy.
Just like Byron squatting beside the dock.
A long blockade was set up next to the pier. A dozen security troops stood in line, torches and braziers were burning brightly, and the flames were drawn into dancing shadows by the wind blowing from the river.
Of course Byron would not be outside blowing the wind. He lit an oil lamp and sat in the dockkeeper's hut.
It is true that the cabin was filled with the smell of fish and the smell of the previous caretaker's feet, but that was not what upset Byron. His eyes were firmly fixed on Manson. On the back.
Perhaps because he was a little bored, Manson took off his hat. He had clear short chestnut hair, smooth auricles, and round ear beads. Although his skin was wheat-colored, it was extremely smooth. It reflected the light of the torch and looked particularly seductive. people.
Byron is very proud of his identity. How many businessmen are willing to send their children to their homes in order to gain a relationship with him. He has also hinted to Manson more than once, as long as Manson is willing to let go. , he can ask Manson for the combat skills mastered by the Holy See.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Byron shook his head to wake up.
Suddenly, he found that the oil lamp in the house dimmed - but the flame was still burning brightly!
A shrill scream echoed through the night sky!
Byron rushed out of the house and saw that a soldier who was originally on guard outside had fallen to the ground, with a hideous wound on his neck, but not much blood flowed out!
The surrounding security forces were also stunned. A black shadow flashed past, destroying more than a dozen torches almost instantly. Even the brazier was overturned on the ground, and the surrounding area was pitch black!
The screams of the security forces kept coming. Even though the wind was moving away from the shore, Byron still smelled the strong smell of blood!
The smell made him want to vomit!
"Don't be stunned, that monster is afraid of light!" Manseni rushed to his side and slapped him on the back: "Aren't you a magician? Think of a way!"
Byron finally came to his senses, grabbed the scepter and chanted a prayer in his mouth. He made several mistakes in the process, but finally completed it. A ball of light emerged above his head, illuminating the surrounding dozens of meters.
Bodies, corpses everywhere, each one torn apart and in pieces.
That is not killing, but torturing!
A chill rose from behind Byron, making his whole body start to tremble.
Before he finished speaking, a huge force came and he was pushed horizontally and fell to the ground. The next moment, there was a loud noise right where he was standing!
锃——
Sparks flashed, and Manseni's long sword was wrapped in thick shadow fighting spirit, holding a pair of dark and sharp claws!
And in front of her, there was a black wind that seemed to have no entity!
"The art of weathering..." Byron's lips trembled: "Vampire!?"
"Execute the art!" Manseni shouted: "I am not his opponent, If you don’t cast the spell, both of us will die here!”
This sound awakened Byron, who stood up from the ground and suddenly crushed the amulet hanging on his chest.
A golden light curtain fell from the sky!
Like a seal, like a giant palm, it slammed the black wind onto the ground!
Thick holy light surged, and beast-like roars came from the black wind. The originally dark lines and the pair of sharp claws became red and hot, like paper burned by fire, turning into The ashes are all gone!
Third level magic, holy flame impact!
Byron wiped the cold sweat from his head and smiled: "All darkness will be destroyed by the light of my Lord..."
Before he finished speaking, the ball of light above his head suddenly moved at a speed visible to the naked eye. It shrank!
Manseni's pupils trembled: "Hurry!"
It's too late!
A black shadow flew towards Byron like a sharp arrow, and there was another black wind. This wind was far thicker than the previous one, and it was also mixed with scarlet blood.
Two gray-white palms protruded from it, twisting Byron's shoulders, and then a pair of sharp fangs pierced his throat!
Byron's body suddenly softened, his eyes began to become blurred, and his breathing began to become more rapid!
"Stop!" Manseni's body was wrapped in the shadow, and she rushed towards Byron in large strides. However, the black and red wind just wrapped around Byron and disappeared.
Soon, with a snap, Byron's shriveled body fell to the ground, and an elegant and magnetic male voice came from the darkness: "Ah... the blood full of the power of light is so delicious."< br>
“The blood of those 600 two-legged sheep is not as good as his!!”
"It's a pity that he has so little combat experience that a newly transformed 'blood slave' forced him to hand over his trump card."
The voice got closer and closer to Manseni's ear: "You , Do you want to be with me..."
"Become one?"
