Whispering Verse

"No need, I can just go by myself."

Shade said, then looked at the two swords on the coffee table, and finally gave up the [Angel's Right Arm] and picked up the [Night Watch].

"Um, can I go with you?"

Emilia suddenly whispered. Seeing everyone looking at her, the girl with pointed ears explained:

"There are probably people from the church and police maintaining order outside now. It would be more convenient for Shade to fly there on little Lianna. I just want to see the situation outside now and want to know what happened tonight. .I won’t cause trouble to Shade, I also have a fifth-ring level.”

"Let Emilia follow you, otherwise it will be inconvenient for you to move around with little Lianna."

Miss Belindel made the decision for Emilia, the elf girl looked at her gratefully, and Shade nodded;

"Okay, we'll be back in an hour."

After saying goodbye to them, Shade and Emilia took the little unicorn downstairs. Agelina, who had nothing to do, sent them downstairs, waved and watched them fly into the night sky together.

She didn't say that she was going too, because she knew that she only had one ring, and going with her would only cause trouble for Shade. Looking at the little beast that suddenly disappeared into the night sky, a more complex and indescribable expression appeared on her face.

Agelina Cavendish thought of the conversation she had had with her sister in the Shades' bedroom before leaving Tobesk. She suddenly understood that just pursuing someone might not be enough. She also longed for power.

Shade naturally didn't know what new ideas the little princess had at this moment. He was worried that the little unicorn would not be able to bear the weight when he and Emilia rode it together, but it turned out that he still underestimated this creature with the same rating as the dragon.

They flew all the way to the lower town on the Taton River, and then landed in Spider Alley. It's just that the sewer tunnel door where the morgue is located is closed, and there is no vampire waiting for him as Shade imagined.

However, there was clearly a large pool of blood on the ground in Spider Alley. Shade carefully examined it and determined that it was the blood of a vampire monster:

"Emilia, come with me. Be careful and be prepared for an attack at any time."

In the dark night, the red halo created by the "Echo of Blood" in Shade's field of vision was unusually conspicuous, so they pursued it all the way, and finally came to the Herring Street next to the river.

The little unicorn and Emilia both brought camouflage charms. After Shade rushed out of the burning block and saw that the fighting was still going on there, he immediately went to help.

Herring Street is not located in the north of the city. The cause of the fire here is not yet known, but the fire had little impact and has basically been extinguished.

However, there are still a large number of vampire monsters in the air trying to attack citizens who have escaped from their homes. Mr. Bernhardt, the coroner Mr. Ptolemy Albert, and even John Flynn of the [New World Mutual Aid Association] and his party... People are attracting the attention of those vampire monsters on the streets along the river, while constantly cleaning up the monsters.

The battle was already coming to an end, and Shade and Emilia joined the battle, which accelerated the defeat of the monsters. Five or six minutes later, the last big bat exploded into large pieces of wood in the air due to the oak seeds thrown by Emilia.

Several people did not rush to communicate, but left here in a hurry. Shade thought they would find a remote place to talk, but unexpectedly Mr. Albert took everyone directly to the autopsy room in Spider Alley.

When the coroner in a burqa took out the key and opened the large iron gate at the entrance of the corridor, Shade also cast a doubtful look at Mr. Bernhardt. The latter glanced at John Flynn and his group and said softly:

"When I came here just now, Ptolemy was already with them, helping ordinary people nearby. Ptolemy thought they could be trusted."

So Xia De didn't ask any questions and walked into the sewer with them.

He originally wanted Emilia and the little unicorn to wait outside, after all, he thought they probably wouldn't like it here. But I didn't expect that the elf girl holding the little beast had no intention of staying outside. When she and the little unicorn followed Shade inside, she looked around with interest.

Because there were so many people that the office could not accommodate them, they finally came to the autopsy room where Mr. Albert worked daily.

The smell of corpses and preservatives mixed together, coupled with the cold and dampness of the sewer itself, made the smell here a bit unpleasant, but no one, including Emilia, frowned or was unhappy.

The coroner first introduced himself to John Flynn and his party:

"Thank you for your help just now. I am Ptolemy Albert, the coroner here. As you just saw, I am a vampire."

Among the elegant priest-like middle-aged man, the young girl holding what seems to be a relic staff, the martial man holding a mace, and John Flynn, the young man holding the holy sword is obviously the leader of the team. By.

He shook hands with Mr. Albert and introduced himself to the group.

They had met Shade and Mr. Bernhardt more than once, so the two parties only exchanged pleasantries.

"Who knows what happened tonight? I was writing a letter in the hotel, and suddenly there was chaos outside. When I came outside, those mutated big bats were already flying all over the night sky.

To be honest, although I have been running around and busy for two hours just now, I know nothing about tonight's events. "

Mr. Bernhardt looked puzzled, and Shade hesitated before saying:

"It is said that a relic was stolen from a church. I don't know which church it was or which relic it was."

Because he wanted to protect the Belindel family's information channels, he didn't go into too much detail.

The elegant middle-aged man in the [New World Mutual Aid Association] team also said:

“One thing you probably don’t know is that although most of the main forces of the [Dragon Cult] are in the Old World, they have been conducting large-scale domestication of dragon beasts in the New World.

It is said that they received help from the notorious [Blood Spirit School], and by funding a secret researcher in the Old Continent, they have cultivated many hybrid dragon monsters over the years. "

This should be talking about Laplace Howard of Green Lake Island.

"The church has chased them in the New World over the years, but with little success. The dragon beasts tonight are most likely from the New World. But with such a large number, we [New World Mutual Aid Association] have not received any news. "

"So that sacrificial site really has the ability to teleport through space."

Shade whispered in his heart, while the coroner lowered his eyes and whispered:

"So, so many people died tonight just to distract the church and steal an item?"

"Mr. Watson's intelligence is rarely wrong."

Mr. Bernhardt also said, exhaling heavily from his nose:

"I really can't explain it at this point. I can even imagine that early tomorrow morning, the church will spread wanted notices to the entire black market in Moon Bay, asking all ring warlocks to provide clues about the local vampires."

No one comforted him because this was reality. Although the church also knows that most vampires are innocent, this is the age of mankind. Since vampires have taken refuge in cultists, it is necessary to equally suspect that all vampires are helpers of cultists.

Mr. Bernhardt's own safety should be no problem. After all, he is a foreigner and only knows a small number of his local compatriots. The coroner did not consider his own safety. He just said suddenly:

“Is it really worth sacrificing so many people’s lives for a relic?”

It was a ridiculous question, but since he asked it, John Flynn replied:

“There will always be selfish people who serve their own purposes without regard for the lives and freedoms of others.

Our [New World Mutual Aid Association] was established to help everyone who immigrated to the New World and ventured to the New World to help each other. If people can understand the suffering of another person, if everyone, including ordinary people, is willing to reach out and hold another person's hand, the world will become a better place. This is our justice. "

His three companions all nodded.

The coroner also nodded slightly:

"You are all good people. Please allow me to thank you for being here just now to help me save the neighbors nearby. Compared with those monsters, ordinary people are too fragile."

He paused before saying:

"But for justice, we must admit the differences between people. If there was no reproductive isolation, in fact, ring magicians and ordinary people would have almost become two different species.

Justice does not necessarily mean everyone holding hands. We cannot ask too much of ordinary people, just like tonight. Justice to me is just the strong protecting the weak. "

The man with the mace seemed to disagree with this view, but he was stopped by John Flynn before he could speak.

Shade didn't have any objections to the coroner's opinion, but he didn't expect Emilia, who was hiding behind him, to speak at this time.

The elf girl tugged on Shade's clothes, her eyes bright:

"Of course it is right for the strong to protect the weak, but wanton protection will only breed moths. I understood this when I was raising horses."

The little "horse" behind her pushed her with his head in dissatisfaction.

"Justice should not be a heavy responsibility. I originally thought justice was to eliminate injustice, but a lot of things have happened recently. I think justice just wants to pull out a sword from the bottom of my heart and make my life more meaningful."

John Flynn and Mr. Albert both looked at her in surprise:

"That makes sense, but when you get older, maybe you'll have other opinions."

In other words, they didn’t quite agree with Emilia’s point of view. So the elf girl was dissatisfied and grabbed Shade's clothes again and hid them behind him. She only spoke after she mustered up the courage.
