Chapter 181 ·The Mystery of the Blood Knight
The two apprentice witch hunters followed Eureka into a hut in the hinterland of the forest. The house was very empty and the furnishings were very simple. The ground was muddy. The room was filled with all kinds of messy debris and broken fabrics. There were also large clumps of blood-like glue, but Eureka wasn’t paying attention to them.
The stench of blood came out, and even the witch hunters, Eureka and the two apprentice witch hunters frowned subconsciously, put on their masks before entering the wooden house.
The middle of the hut was filled with a layer of dry straw, and two corpses were placed on top of it. Judging from the clothes, one was a charcoal burner and the other was a lumberjack.
The tragic death of the charcoal burner, his complexion was almost shriveled, his face was pale with severe ischemia, his upper body was shattered, his arms were nowhere to be seen, the two bloodstains on his shoulder blades had dried up, and on the blood vessels of his dark neck, a row of deep teeth. The seal is clearly visible, as if it was bitten by some kind of beast, which is terrible.
The lumberjack on the other side had many huge wounds on his body, half of his cheek was cut open by a sharp blade, and his chest, shoulders, and abdomen were obviously injured by the sharp blade, just like the charcoal burner, his arms were also He was torn off abruptly, the texture of his muscles was exposed in the air, his blood was drained, and the logging axe that belonged to him hung on his chest was broken in the middle, and the other half did not know where to go.
“Sure enough, it’s a vampire.” Eureka narrowed her beautiful crimson eyes, and ordered coldly, “Sprinkle holy water on the corpse to curb the possibility of vampire corruption as soon as possible. Every corner of the room must be splashed again! ”
“Understood, Teacher Eureka!”
When the apprentice witch hunter poured holy water, Eureka squatted on one knee beside the two corpses and carefully observed the traces of tooth marks on their necks. It was far worse than she imagined. It has been sucked up by adults, and it was completed in just a few tens of seconds, which proves that the slaughterer urgently needs to **** blood to replenish himself and curb blood thirst. The vampires looking for are not bad.
“No, there should be three corpses here, as well as a missing lumberjack! That vampire didn’t go far!” Eureka stood up quickly, her gun clenched in her palm, and she heard the sound of hooves and neighing , the movement of the iron collision is even more worrying.
There is movement in the forest ahead.
“Teacher, the vampire in scarlet plate armor is coming here! It’s a blood knight!” said a trainee witch hunter in a panic, his heartbeat was abnormally fast, thump-thump-thump, almost to the throat inside.
“Calm down, Wayne, when you are nervous, you lose the initiative, keep that in mind.” Eureka was very calm.
She waved to the two apprentice witch hunters to follow her out of the wooden house, and untied the reins of the horses tied to the trees. The skeleton warhorse under the blood knight’s crotch only needed two breaths to cross the distance of less than 50 meters.
Under the faint moonlight, in the open space between the woodlands, a figure with a scarlet glow, holding a spear and a dragon-scale shield, stood in the black forest not far ahead. …
The Scarlet Knight was dressed in scarlet and black armor, painted with all kinds of bizarre symbols and pictures of punishment and killing. He was holding a fallen knight’s long sword, and the dark runes were engraved on the sharp blade. It exudes a red light of intimidation. The dragon scale shield in his hand has several traces. It is obvious that he has experienced many battles. It is painted with the knight’s coat of arms of the Blood Dragon Knights, the shield emblem and kite helmet decoration, but it has become a red dragon. Shape with bat-like dragon wings.
“唧—唧—” The dream demon warhorse under the blood knight’s crotch, like its owner, is covered in strong armor, spewing a green flame of undead blasphemy in the cold air of late autumn, and crimson corpses burning in the hollow eye sockets fire.
“Immediately withdraw from the Black Forest and pass the information back to Baron Draco Lailun!” Eureka got on her horse and ordered to the apprentice witch hunters: “Retreat separately, if you find the blood knight chasing you, be sure to restrain him, Do whatever it takes to buy more time for the other two!”
“Yes! Mentor!”
“I understand!”
The apprentice witch hunters ran out on the left and right, but Eureka did not leave. She turned the horse’s head and looked at the blood knights in the black forest from a distance. The witch hunter master did not allow it. The apprentice witch hunter died in front of her eyes, and she wanted to buy time for the retreating two.
The power possessed by the blood dragon knight is absolutely unstoppable, and can defeat a blood dragon knight. All of them are famous heroes. It is said that if a mission knight of the knight kingdom Brittany is defeated in a head-on battle Blood Knight, he has a high probability of being recognized by the Lady of the Lake, thus becoming the Holy Grail Knight.
In the dark forest of the moonlit night, the blood knight also stopped, without any intention of chasing, but took off his dragon helmet, revealing a pale bald head in the hazy moonlight, staring at the huntress with interest Shaman, and under the shade of trees, Eureka couldn’t see the blood knight’s appearance.
Eureka raised the fire gun and aimed it at the blood knight. After a few seconds of awkward silence, she slowly lowered her arm, put the silver sword and fire gun in her sheath, turned the horse’s head, and ran away from the forest.
“chi-chi–”
In the lord’s castle late at night, two imperial flying horses fell into the courtyard from the air. It didn’t take long for several knights and barons of the Baron Draco to sit at the long table in the conference hall. They received urgent requests from the witch hunters. Notice, gathered here, to discuss the danger of blood dragon knights appearing near the baronies,
The magic lights in the conference hall gave off a soft halo, and the candles on the long table illuminated the serious faces of several people present. Sigmar Battle Priest Luther Hus was also present, and his resolute face was covered with a few lines. Scar, sitting upright, Luther seemed more and more pious and upright. He was appointed from the Capital Justice Cathedral to be in charge of the affairs of the Justice Church of the Baron Draco.
Lailun sat in the first place, frowning in thought.
Yurikala passed a wooden chair and sat down: “The appearance of a blood knight in the baron is bad news. How powerful is the blood dragon knight, challenging him alone is tantamount to dying.”
“Sir Baron, gather the knights of the Eternal Knights! There is only one vampire, and we can always drag him to death by relying on quantity consumption!” Nicas-Francis made a suggestion, but it was unanimously opposed by others. …
Blood Dragon Knights are not only strong in martial arts and superb combat skills, they are midnight vampires, and they are more difficult to kill. Even a blessed blade may not be able to cut through the armor of a blood knight.
“The blood knight is more powerful than people can imagine. No matter how many people there are, they will only die in vain.” Luther Hus shook his head gently, and continued: “Pastor Zeyins told me about it. The origin of the blood dragon knights, they also have a name, they are called blood castle knights.”
“Huh? Pastor Luther, can you tell us more about their deeds?” Hector, sitting opposite the battle priest, asked with great interest.
“The blood dragon knights hundreds of years ago are a powerful knight group stationed in the gray mountains under the church of justice. The blood dragon knights are the most noble and good character knights, and they need to go through layers of selection to join. A small number of people are even comparable to the Knights of the Holy Grail. Their fortress, the blood castle, guards the borderline between the Empire and Bretonnia in the mountains, and protects the Imperial people living in the border mountains.” Luther Huss sat on the wooden chair , with a serious expression and a stern smile: “However, the night of blood. After a strange traveler appeared, the Blood Dragon Knights underwent fundamental changes.”
The conference hall was very quiet, and everyone was listening to this piece of history.
Sigmar Battle Priest went on to say: “It wasn’t until more than ten years later that the church was able to know the identity of the stranger, the blood vampire ancestor, the first blood dragon knight, Abrash, he sent out a duel invitation to every blood dragon knight, with an unparalleled use of The skill and supernatural powers easily killed the knights devoted to Sigmar. No knight could defeat the immortal monster in battle, but the vampire blood ancestors spared the most potential warriors and gifted their blood with spears. The kiss corroded their souls; for those knights that Abrash considered unqualified, or who chose to be loyal to my lord Sigmar, and tried to fool them, the vampire blood ancestors mercilessly killed them, along with the newly born children. drank their blood.”
“After self-sustaining, the loyal knights guarding the Grey Mountains and protecting the safety of the empire and the knight kingdom were destroyed in one fell swoop, and replaced by a vampire force called the Blood Castle Knights. In this way, the blood castle became their entrenched entrenched. In the land, the blood dragon knights call themselves blood knights.”
“I remember that history, my family, the two ancestors of the Jintelai family, Faris Jintelai and Agostinio Jintelai, participated in the battle against the blood castle. The swords and armor of the ancestors of the family are still in the family treasury.” Adrian said to everyone, and at the same time, his worried expression surfaced.
Lailun narrowed his eyes, he noticed the change in his flag officer’s expression: “Adrian, what’s wrong?”
“My baron, the battle of the blood castle was very tragic. The blood castle where the blood dragon knight was located was surrounded by tens of thousands of coalition forces assembled by the Elector of Rick, Elector of Wesson and Elver of Ivy. At least four The Imperial Knights participated in the war, and seventeen Holy Grail Knights from the Kingdom of Knights joined, and the whole process lasted for three years.” The baron’s flag-bearer said in a low voice, “Although the blood castle has been eradicated and turned into ruins On the cliff, the remnants of the blood dragon knights escaped from the gray mountains, but the number of imperial knights and provincial soldiers who died after the war is a shockingly huge number.”…
“Therefore, the blood knight is a big problem for his confidants. If he leaves it alone, more people will be killed by him.”
“Well, I see…” Lailun nodded solemnly, and at the same time he was thinking about a question: “Why did the blood knight appear in the barondom, and what is his motive? If it is simply because of vampire thirst for blood, this One reason is not enough for him to come to the North.”
Lairn’s dark blue eyes reflected the flames in the house, and the young baron was silent for a long time.
“Yes, I’m thinking about this too.” Eureka, who was sitting at the long table with her long legs raised, was deeply moved, and she frowned: “Most of the blood knights fled to Britta in the west. Nia and the southeastern province of Sylvania, their numbers are much smaller than ordinary vampires, and the blood knight does not seem to have excessive killing tendencies, that is to say, he came to the baronies and wandered Being in the Black Forest on the edge is looking for something, not blood thirst or slaughter.”
“Then it doesn’t make sense, my baron…” The affairs officer Pittman said cautiously. Although Pittman can’t give too much insight in defending the enemy, he also has a place in the baron’s court meeting. ” I can be sure that there is nothing in the Barony that attracts the blood knights coveted…”
“No, there is one thing, Mr. Lailun, have you forgotten that young dragon? Gortinar, the champion of flames.” Luther Hus suddenly woke up, he looked at Lailun with sharp eyes, and said in a low voice: ” The legend of the vampire blood ancestor Abrash and the dragon.”
“Your Excellency, the legend you mentioned…I understand.” Eureka also understood what Luther meant.
Three days ago, Baron Draco brought back a young dragon from the wood elf heathland, which only a few sergeants, witch hunters and battle priests of the barony knew.
“The blood ancestor of the vampire, the first generation of blood dragon knights, Aborash, who has the title of the ancestor of the blood dragon, in ancient legends, he killed a red dragon with his own hands, and spit on the dragon’s blood, bathed in it, and relieved the vampire itself. The curse will always curb the instinctive blood thirst, and thus gain the power of the gods.” Adrian slowly spoke the legend about the ancestor of the blood dragon. The former Rick guard knew many things, and this knowledge could help him Know the enemy.
“So, the blood knights are here for Gotinar.” Lailun Tong Kong reflected the firelight.
“I think it should be like this. The dragon-slaying feat of the ancestor of the blood dragon achieved the road of self-redemption, and was regarded as a model by the later blood dragon knights. They all wanted to get rid of the vampire curse, so they were very sensitive to the breath of dragons.” Rika nodded.
“Now that we know the blood knight’s goal, it’s time for us to take action.” Lailun made a decision: “He has sucked the blood of three adults, temporarily curbing his blood thirst, but it won’t last long. , Before the fourth and fifth victims appear, that is, before the blood thirst, he must be brought out first!”
“Francis, Adrian, Hector, the three of you led all the eternal knights to evacuate the residents of the two northern villages as quickly as possible, and set up a warning line. If the blood knight is forced, rush into the crowd and open wide. Killing ring, that is what none of us want to see!”
“Yes, my baron!”
“Understood, my lord!”
“Eureka, mobilize the witch hunters, find out where the blood knights haunt, and Luther Huss, you and your paladins fully cooperate with the witch hunters’ actions.”
“Can.”
“In the name of Sigma!”
It didn’t take long for the two Imperial Pegasus to circle and fly to the north. Dozens of knights in heavy black armor ran on the road leading to the north of the Barony. Numerous torches were lit in Oak Town, stationed at the Church of Justice and Yuri. The paladins and monks of the Temple of Ke were all dispatched.
