"Your descendants also died in the devil worship incident this time? Why didn't the church report it?" Katrina asked in slight surprise.
Vampires are as "evil" as magicians, and the church can definitely regard him as the culprit of the incident.
Viscount Karenldia shook the red wine glass in his hand: "He is a descendant left behind when I traveled to the Shahran Empire before. He is an outstanding nobleman. Therefore, he was taught to confirm the identity of a vampire from the corpse.
At that time, the nobles put pressure on the church to hide this matter, so as not to damage the image of the nobles. Anyway, there are evil magicians who bear everything."
"So that's it. Mr. Viscount, have you found any clues?" Katrina nodded slightly, dispelling her inner doubts, and asked with great expectancy, hoping that the vampire Viscount who also found the cemetery would be able to find something.
More clues.
Viscount Karenldia leaned lazily against the tree trunk, showing no sign of a vampire paying attention to his image: "Although I can sense the death of a descendant from a long distance, I can't confirm which descendant it is, so I'll wait until I collect the information and rush
When we came here, most of the valuable clues were gone, and maybe there wasn't as much information as you could get from your investigation."
"Have you checked the body of this knight? What sealed the power of his blood?" Katrina asked while using magic to open the tomb, but she did not give up the most basic precautions, and "acquaintance" was classified as "acquaintance"
” does not mean that the danger is eliminated.
"I'm really good at identifying various traces on corpses." Viscount Carenoldia looked like Katrina had asked the right person, then shook his head slightly, "But there must be a corpse for me to examine."
Katrina was stunned for a moment: "You mean there are no corpses in the tomb?"
The tomb was opened, and the coffin slowly floated out under the power of magic. Then, the black lid flipped to the side, revealing the inside of the coffin, which contained only a few noble clothes and an urn.
"We can imagine that there is something wrong with this corpse. How could the people who organized the devil-worshiping party not think of it? According to the information I have learned, although the nobles suppressed the matter, their dual identities as vampires and devil worshipers prevented them from being careless.
Therefore, he was first purified by flames, and then buried." Viscount Kallendia was bathed in the light of the silver moon, and his face looked slightly uncertain.
The dual identity of a vampire and a devil worshipper? This knight seems to be a descendant of Viscount Carnaldia... Katrina thought to herself.
"I checked his family and found nothing suspicious. He usually has close contacts with people in the aristocratic circle. Under the protection of the Sky Knight and the Cardinal, it is unrealistic for us to check them one by one. It is better to sneak in secretly.
It’s easy for the Inquisition to find the church’s investigation records.” Viscount Carnaldia smiled bitterly.
This is very similar to my "plan", Katrina cursed: "I can apply to the parliament for the assistance of a high-level magician."
You can ask your father or something to help. They should be count or duke-level powerful vampires.
"This is my descendant. Before there is any real danger, I, the head of the family, must personally investigate and find out the murderer." Viscount Carenoldia said in a rare serious tone.
Parents... Looking at the young and handsome face and dazzling blond hair of Viscount Carnaldia, Katrina suddenly felt a sense of absurdity. These races with long lifespans are really amazing, as if they have extended their lives.
High-level magicians who have maintained their youth, if nothing happens, they can see their grandchildren's grandchildren's grandchildren... This is unimaginable to her in her twenties.
"During this period, I started by investigating the magician who died here, looking for people he had contact with, but except for some people who saw him when doing some transactions, no one saw him or knew him when he was taking risks and doing things.
Who is he acting with? He must have hidden his appearance. I wonder if you have any clues about this?" Viscount Carenoldia asked the purpose of his appearance.
Katrina thought for a moment that she was alone here. Although she had Heidi's latest research results with her, as the third largest city in the northern province, Calcutta City had many equal to or better than her.
There were also several Sky Knights and Cardinals, and it was more reliable to have a helper. Therefore, she focused on the information she had obtained from Yakov and told Viscount Caronldia.
"Sir Duda, he is among the nobles that my descendants often interact with. It seems that he does have a lot of suspicion." When Viscount Carenildia said this, his face was upbeat as if he was reciting poetry.
The laziness was swept away, and the golden eyes slowly glowed.
The most important thing is that Sir Duda often appears mysterious and is also the object of Viscount Carnaldia's suspicion.
"So far, most of the clues have been broken, and the only two or three that remain point to Sir Duda. Maybe we should find a chance to visit him. Katrina, do you want to come together?" Karen Er
Viscount Dia looked familiar and affectionately called Katrina by her name.
Katrina smiled lightly and said: "I originally wanted to invite you, Mr. Viscount, but Sir Duda lives in a villa in the aristocratic area during this period, which is very close to Count Calcutt's mansion and the Sky Knight's villa.
Soon, we may have to wait for another opportunity."
"He will always leave the city." Viscount Carenoldia drank a little red wine in one gulp, waved his right hand, and the black cloak spread out behind his back, like a pair of bat wings, "When the time comes, I will invite you.
He seemed to blend into the darkness and keep climbing, finally leaving behind a slight laughter and humorous words: "He has the support of big people behind him, don't we, maybe bigger and more perverted, haha..."
"More perverted..." Katrina repeated subconsciously, then looked around and patted her chest, "I almost followed him and used perverted to describe the teacher, but fortunately the teacher is not here..."
Time passed quickly. In Yakov's worried and expectant mood, he accepted the knighthood and became Sir Yakov. He got a manor outside the city and a territory in the wilderness. So he packed his things.
, led Anna and other subordinates to the manor.
"Sister Katrina, are you really not going to follow us?" Anna looked tearful, particularly reluctant to part with this sister-like friend. Her mother passed away when she was young, and she lacked the care of older women.
Yakov coughed and stuttered slightly: "Actually, Katrina, you also have to find a place to live. You have to spend money to stay in a hotel."
Katrina smiled and shook her head: "In the past few days, I have found a few partners who will go on adventures in the wasteland underground, so I will act with them. I am very interested in your kindness. When this adventure is over, I will go to the manor
Visiting you."
At that time, it should be a formal farewell.
"Sister Katrina, have you found a new companion? Why didn't I know?" Anna asked doubtfully.
"You have been busy these days, how do you know?" Katrina and Leylia are both patient and thoughtful, so they shine in the study of material properties.
"Actually, with your conditions, Sister Katrina, there is no need to take risks to gain wealth. There are plenty of people who want to give it to you." Anna helped half-jokingly.
Katrina smiled and rubbed her long blond hair: "Although this is very relaxing, it is not what I want. Only things that you have truly mastered belong to you, and you will be able to hold them firmly and go further."
Far."
She was using her arcane research attitude to politely reject the implications of Anna's words.
"Sister Katrina, you speak so profoundly..." Anna curled her lips.
You haven't seen anything truly profound... Katrina thought of the Evans field equation, Lucien's equation, and all the strange properties of microscopic particles. She felt quite emotional for a moment. This is the most cutting-edge field of arcana.
But to say that there is no arcana master who truly understands them, even the teacher said that he is often stuck, and said that if anyone is not doubtful and confused about the microscopic field and quantum mechanics, then he has not studied it carefully.
they.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that there was a deep gap between herself and Anna and other friends. She could not integrate into their lives, and they could not understand everything she studied.
After sending Yakov, Anna and others away, Katrina packed up her things, checked out of the hotel room, and blended into the crowd on the street.
As she walked, Katrina flipped up her blond hair, lowered her eyelids to cover her green eyes, and then hurriedly walked around the city of Kalkat, constantly weaving through the streets and alleys.
Just as she was trying to cross a deserted alley, a muscular man with rough face and blue-grey hair suddenly came out of the front. He chuckled and said: "You are very sharp, but it is not enough to get rid of us."
!”
His nose twitched and he looked like a pervert: "The scent of your body betrays you."
At this time, a strong man followed Katrina behind, blocking her escape path: "Madam, did you choose this deserted street to tempt us?"
"Why are you following me?" Katrina said with a slightly trembling voice.
"Who asked you to hang out with them..." The strong man in front suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and then said with a smile: "Let's do it, we still have extra time to get in close contact with this beautiful lady."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Katrina raised her head, her green eyes like the clearest lake in the forest, swaying, swaying, and fascinating.
The strong man behind grabbed Katrina's neck. Suddenly, his cheek hurt, his teeth flew out, and he fell against the wall.
He looked at his companion who attacked him in shock: "You?"
Then, there was a light green light, and his eyes also lost their luster, and he stood there in a daze.
Bang bang, applause sounded, and at some point a blond man in a black shirt and red coat leaned against the wall. He smiled and said, "Sometimes, magic is really easy."
"Mr. Viscount, I didn't expect to meet you again." Katrina saluted politely.
"No, I came here specifically to see you, because Sir Duda left the city to go to his manor." Viscount Calunildia walked towards Katrina.
When he walked next to the strong man, he suddenly twitched his nose and said with a slight disgust: "Dirty smell, these two are savage werewolves, damn, are they involved in this matter?"
"Werewolf." Katrina looked at the two strong men with gray hair and used magic to identify them.
The night is dark.
Yakov suddenly woke up from his nightmare, only to find that he was exhausted. He looked around in shock and saw Anna and other mercenaries who were also locked in the cell.
"This..." He then remembered that the previous fight was not a nightmare, but a real thing. However, he could not resist the great knight, so he was knocked unconscious.
"Boss..." Anna's crying voice sounded. She didn't understand why she and others, who had escaped the dangerous mercenary life, were attacked in the Jazz Manor, and were still a group of enemies that they couldn't contend with. Just thinking about it,
It made her shudder, and she was very frightened.
Will he die this time?
Yakov took a deep breath, the knight's will suppressed his panic, and comforted his companions: "Don't worry, since they didn't kill us directly, it means that we are still useful and have a chance."
"Hey, I won't kill you because the ceremony requires living people." A sinister voice sounded outside the cell.
Yakov's eyes narrowed and his pupils shrank: "Sir Duda!"
