Chapter 46 The Challenger at the Bridgehead
Vared inexplicably, he wanted Dean Asta to tell him more information. But the dean just said, you will know when you go back. Or asked Vared to ask his mother, Madame Windsor. No matter how Vared asked, he refused to let go. Vared was upset and couldn't listen to the next class.
After all, it was five o'clock and the college's courses were over. Vared refused the invitation from several classmates and teachers. He did not continue to study at the college until six o'clock as usual, and roughly passed the knowledge he learned today. Instead, he took the carriage and returned to the direction of the Dekenhof Castle.
Go back early and figure it out early, so you can feel at ease. No matter how you think about it, it feels wrong. If there are new classmates who have transferred to it because of their elders' work, it makes sense. But no matter how poor the territory of Count Castein is, he will not be able to afford the housing costs of the three vampire nobles. There is no need to let them move into the Dekenhof Castle.
In addition, according to Dean Asta's words, these people who can move into Dekenhof Castle seem to have something to do with them... No, it should be said that it is entirely because of themselves.
"Really, what happened?" Vared rubbed his temples, feeling a little bit overwhelmed. After Dean Asta told him the news, he thought carefully for a while, but still had no idea.
Just when the (future) count decided to calm down and not think about this matter for the time being, he felt a slight back force that made him lean forward and almost fell to the ground. When he looked again, the ghost carriage was blocked by a magical force and stopped.
"What's going on?" Vared wondered. This was the Earl of Castein, who was the (future) Earl of Castein. Who dared to make himself uncomfortable here?
The unintelligent ghost coachman naturally could not answer Vared's question. He did not bring any followers at this moment, so he had to jump out and see what was going on.
Vared snorted coldly in his heart, but he was a little anxious that someone would make trouble for him and move his hands to relax his muscles. He held the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand, lowered his head, hooked his right hand, pulled out the golden short sword inserted in his boots, and hid it in his sleeve. Then he jumped out of the carriage and saw what was going on.
This ghost carriage happened to reach a bridgehead, four meters wide and very grand, crossing a stone bridge of a river. But this was the one that blocked Vared's way at the bridgehead.
On the surface, she is about the same age as Valed, and has a similar figure, and looks a little thin. However, she is completely different from Valed in appearance.
He was not wearing a evening dress that ordinary vampires like to bless the magic defense, but a full set of red plate armor, like blood stained red. The red armor was painted with bats with blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, and on his chest was a wailing and struggling red dragon. The golden beast on his shoulder armor swallowed his mouth and a bat-shaped ornamented helmet on his head.
Her sword hanging on her waist is also larger than the usual etiquette sword, and she does not look like a pretentious person. She also holds a blood-red pure metal cavalry and a composite kite-shaped knight shield, sitting high on the nightmare where the Takahashi saddle is placed and the full set of heavy plate armor is hung. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Valed as if she was looking at the dead.
This outfit is unforgettable, as if telling the other party that I am "a martial madman from the Abel Hracin family, stay away from me."
Vared had also heard that in order to hone his martial arts skills, these vampire knights of the Abel Hracin family liked to wait at traffic hubs such as bridgeheads and intersections. When they saw ordinary people, they let them go, and when they saw warriors, they asked to compete with them. Killing people is not worth their lives. Unexpectedly, today they encountered a...
But, is this vampire knight's age...is there something wrong with it? It looks like he is about the same age as himself, is it really okay to come out to fight with people at such a young age?
However, no matter what, Vared didn't want to meddle in other people's business. He shrugged and said to the vampire knight: "I'm a mage and useless for your martial arts growth. And it's too late, I'm going home."
After saying that, I was ready to leave.
However, just as Vared was about to leave, the young vampire knight spoke: "Earl Castein, do you want to avoid Yu's challenge?"
"I know who I am? I'm here to find fault?" These two thoughts flashed through Valed's mind. Then he thought: "It seems that my reputation is pretty good, and it has spread to other family territories." Thinking of this, he felt a little proud, so he stopped and left in a hurry to listen to what the vampire knight said.
This vampire knight speaks indifferently, which sounds a bit difficult. However, Vared has also learned classical grammar knowledge, so he will not be unable to understand it.
"Yu of his life was in the Abehracin family and was the direct bloodline of the family. He began to hone his martial arts skills at the age of four, and has been around for nearly ten years. His dream is to become a true blood dragon knight, charge forward and kill generals and seize the flag. He wants the family to be proud of Yu and add luster to the family. However, now, the family orders Yu to deviate from the way of the knight and serve his master. Yu is unwilling to accept it, so he comes here."
After saying that, the murderous intent appeared in the eyes of the Blood Dragon Knight Reserve: "Come and fight! Earl of the Castein family, Yu wants to defeat you and prove Yu's value to the world. Let Yu's family see Yu's ability. Or, you will prove to Yu that you can use Yu and control Yu's weapon! At that time, Yu will naturally bow down to you."
"...The psychopath." Vared was speechless, then shrugged and walked over easily by the vampire knight. At the same time, the ghost carriage slowly moved forward, and was about to cross the bridge.
Seeing that he was ignored, the vampire knight was a little embarrassed, and quickly pulled the reins, turned his horse's head, pointed his gun at Vared, and repeated what he had just said:
"Then, that... Yu said, accept Yu's challenge and prove to Yu that you have the ability to use Yu and control Yu's weapons!" After saying this, he was a little stuttering, not as generous and heroic as before.
However, Vared still ignored her and continued to walk forward. At the same time, a snap of his fingers came over. The carriage across the bridge quickly ran to the middle of the bridge and stopped beside Vared. After that, Vared turned his head and blinked at the guy. It seemed as if he was laughing at her. Then he got on the carriage. He poked his head out of the car window and made a face at her.
"You - you have no chivalry at all!" The guy seemed anxious, his voice suddenly became much sharper, and he shouted at Valed. He just watched Valed's carriage run away. Her family just taught her how to challenge people, but she didn't tell her what it would be like if someone didn't accept the challenge. So she suddenly became confused and at a loss.
However, immediately afterwards, Vared's voice came from behind her, "By the way, are all vampires from the Abel Hracin family all fools?! Why not chase after me?!" The vampire knight suddenly felt that there was an instant extra person on his mount! This made her suddenly shudder, and then subconsciously dropped the rifle in her hand, pulled out the sword and wanted to turn around!
"Idiot!" Vared cursed in a low voice, and at the same time reached out to hold the vampire knight's wrist. The vampire knight felt that his wrist was caught by the iron clamp and could not move at all, and he couldn't help but feel shocked! But he heard Vared continue, "If you want to survive, be honest, haven't you noticed it yet?! We are surrounded!"
As Vared said in a low voice, a hoarse and harsh laughter came from the surrounding bushes. On both sides of the bridge, and even in the river under the bridge, a large number of ghouls with ferocious faces and flesh and blood claws crawled out, and there were several ferocious monsters with more than three meters high, with knotted muscles and bone spurs on the back, protecting an equally ugly human-shaped monster with a dark skin and a strong body, looking at Vared and the other two. The harsh laugh just now came from the mouth of this monster.
"A legitimate relative of the Abel Hracin family, and the other one is the future Count of the Castein family... Hahahahaha, it's such a good harvest." The humanoid monster said this in the awkward old world southern common phrase.
"Strig's Ghoul King?!" the vampire knight screamed in surprise.
"Did you just see it now?" Vared snorted, then muttered in a low voice: "He originally wanted us to kill each other and get the cheaper ones. But when I discovered it, I used it and wanted to take the opportunity to leave. As a result, you idiot still stayed here and wasted my performance."
When the knight heard Valed say this, his face turned red and he muttered in a low voice: "Who knows that your Castein family has so many colorful intestines..."
It was during this time of speaking that Vared suddenly slapped the horse's back and jumped up, stabbing out a sword, piercing a ghoul who was rushing towards him from his mouth to his abdomen. Then he heard a "click" sound, but this long sword for decoration could not bear the weight of the ghoul's body and broke into two pieces from the sword's jaw!
