Hoch looked at the children and their parents playing around, with a gentle smile on his face, and said to the man beside him.
"Master Hooch, the Marquis asked me to protect you and Mrs. Belle."
A man wearing a fine suit, with a straight figure and a long sword at his waist, responded softly with calm eyes.
The man is physically strong, has short purple hair, is clean and tidy, has a stern face, and has deep eyes that make it hard to see through.
This person is clearly the Silver Knight Adrian.
According to Hodge's request, Marquis Bach specially took Adrian with him and asked him to protect Hodge and Mrs. Belle to prevent accidents.
"Okay, I won't force you." Hodge could see that this silver knight was a typical soldier who was very particular about orders and prohibitions. For him, Marquis Bach's order was an imperial edict and absolutely unconditional support.
The fact that the Marquis Bach could have such a saint who would die for his loyalty is enough to show his powerful personality.
Hodge also had to admit that having a legendary father was very stressful.
"Here, here's this thing for you." Hotch thought for a moment, took out a red Easter egg from his pocket, and handed it to Adrian.
"This..." Adrian was slightly startled. He didn't expect Hotch to make such a move, and was caught off guard.
"Okay, don't think about it so much, I'm just sharing my good luck." Regardless of what he thought, Huo Qiqi put the red egg directly into his pocket.
"Okay, now you have participated in the event."
Hearing this, Adrian's face changed slightly and he whispered: "Thank you, Master."
Hodge waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.
Later, Hodge walked to his mother, Mrs. Bailey, and asked: "Mom, what other activities are there next?"
"Well... Generally speaking, these are the main activities. The celebration party should start soon... We'll wait for your father to come out, he should be here soon." Mrs. Bailey thought for a while and explained softly.
"Hmm." Huo Qi snorted lightly and thought to himself: His father has been here for so long? Why did the Cardinal want to find his father? Is it because of the level 0 sealed artifact?
Or is it because of my father’s family affairs?
For a moment, several thoughts flashed through Hodge's mind.
At this moment...
"thump!"
A strange heartbeat sounded, and Hotch suddenly felt chills running down his spine, and a strong sense of danger surged into his heart. His expression suddenly changed, and he looked around warily, as if he felt something.
Hotch's eyes were full of nervousness and fear. He had experienced this feeling more than once.
Whenever he is in a life or death crisis, he can always get a hint.
And this heartbeat is a reminder!
"Master Huo Qi, what's wrong with you?"
Adrien's face changed slightly. He took a step forward to protect Hodge and Mrs. Belle. He naturally put his arm on the hilt of the sword and asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know... I feel there is a danger approaching..." Hodge said in a hoarse voice.
While Hotch was talking, he suddenly discovered a slightly dim bone wine glass sitting quietly on the ground not far away. The bright red blood-like wine in it was rippling slightly, exuding endless magic power.
Blood cup!!
Hotch's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but take a step back. He instinctively observed the dark space in his mind, and found that the blood cup that had been quietly staying in it had disappeared at this moment.
It actually ran out on its own... Hodge once again felt the danger, the danger coming from this vampire holy weapon.
Hotch has not forgotten the emotion conveyed by the blood cup last time - so hungry, wanting to eat...
This is a monster, an extremely dangerous and terrifying powerful sealed object.
Even among the vampires, only a few special beings can control and use the blood cup.
As a human being, Hodge is only a Sequence 9 pharmacist. He can actually use the blood cup at will, even if it has been sealed, it is extremely unreasonable!
It's not that Hodge has never considered this, but people's luck mentality always makes him feel that maybe he is special.
Because of these special features, he was able to use the blood cup without restriction, and the price he paid was only dizziness and coma.
Maybe I am special, but wanting to completely control the blood cup is still too whimsical... Looking at the blood cup that suddenly left the dark space, Huo Qi felt an urge to become stronger.
Hotch hated this feeling of being at the mercy of others. The last person who gave him this feeling was the High Priest of Sloth, but this time it was the Blood Cup.
Hodge's reaction and actions were naturally noticed by Mrs. Belle, who was paying attention to him. She followed Hodge's line of sight and looked...didn't see anything?
As far as Hodge could see, there was nothing but the children and their parents playing around.
"Adrian, did you see anything?" Mrs. Belle frowned slightly. She also noticed something was wrong and asked aloud.
Hearing this, Adrian also looked in the direction of the end of Hodge's line of sight, with an extremely serious expression, and replied: "Mrs. Belle, I didn't see anything."
"Didn't see anything?"
"How is this possible?"
Hotch's face gradually turned pale, he murmured, and gradually clenched his fists.
At this moment, he also understood that the current blood cup was in a very special state, just like Schrödinger's cat, which was in two superposition states of existence and non-existence. Different observers appeared in different states.
From Hodge's perspective, the blood cup exists.
In the eyes of Lady Belle, Adrien, and others, the blood cup is illusory and does not exist.
What happened? What caused the blood cup to appear in such a strange state? Could it be that the mutation of the blood cup gave me a premonition of danger... Hodge fell into thinking again. As he thought about it, his eyes gradually shifted.
He looked at the most magnificent building in the entire cathedral - the huge golden cross, the Kingdom of Divine Light.
The Kingdom of Divine Light?
For a moment, Huo Qi once again remembered what His Excellency God's Favorite once said at the vampire gathering.
"The ghost lantern has the effect of confusing people, producing hallucinations, and controlling behavior. I can't go into details about its specific abilities. This involves some agreements between me and the Bruh clan, but with the ability of the ghost lantern, I can simulate the effects of the Kingdom of Divine Light.
, so that all the believers in the Sengliars Cathedral believe that the light still exists, and even angels cannot see through this..."
Even angels can't see through it? In other words, if my premonition of danger does not come from the blood cup, it must come from this level 0 sealed object - the Kingdom of Divine Light - that was sealed by the true god himself.
No, it should be said that it comes from the ghost lantern, one of the Thirteen Sacred Artifacts.
In its complete state, it cleverly replaces the Kingdom of Divine Light as a ghost lantern.
At this moment, Hodge was not sure that everything in front of him was real.
Perhaps, from the moment you enter this church, everything is an illusion carefully woven by ghost lanterns...
