In a British countryside with a rich local flavor, the people living here live almost isolated lives. Some people still have old TV sets from the 1980s in their homes. On the edge of the countryside, there is
Large areas of golden farmland,
In the farmland, an old man routinely inspects his crops. This year's harvest should be very good.
"Pani, go and collect the crops, the rat plague season is coming soon." The old man shouted to his son.
However, there was no response for a long time.
"Pani?" The old man called out again in confusion, but there was still no response.
Thinking that the brat must have gone back alone first, the old man didn't care. He shook his head and returned the same way. However, he tripped and fell after taking a few steps.
The old man cursed secretly, there should be no stumbling blocks on the road when we come here!
He climbed up from the ground and opened up the tall crops. The next moment, his eyes widened, and a sadness suddenly hit his heart.
"Ah, Pani, my son! My son!"
A young man named Pani fell in his family's crops, his clothes stained with blood, staring at the sky with his eyes fixed on his face. His face was covered with bruises of various sizes. Next to him, his father was heartbroken.
The cry of the lungs.
...
At night, Esther stood at the intersection of a deserted street, waiting for the doctor to appear.
Because of the previous turbulent demonstrations, the city has increased the deployment of police forces in the past few days. It can be said that the public security has been surprisingly good in the past few days, and nothing major has happened. Like the previous demonstrations, although they appeared suddenly, they were also
It calmed down very quickly, and fortunately there was no big problem.
Esther took out his cell phone and looked at the time displayed on it. It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the person should be arriving soon.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the streetlight in front of Est began to flicker unnaturally, as if there was a bad contact, and Est took a step forward.
The next moment, a black figure suddenly appeared under the street light.
It is about 1.7 meters tall, slightly shorter than Esder. It is wearing a large, cumbersome-looking black robe, a plateau hat on its head, white gloves on its hands, and a stick like
A cane in hand.
As for the face, it’s a medieval doctor’s raven mask.
"When Fudo introduced the doctor to me, I was wondering if it would be you. Unexpectedly, you looked unchanged at all." Esther's tone sounded like he was greeting an old friend.
"Long time no see, Esther."
What is somewhat surprising is that, unlike its appearance, the doctor's voice is not scary. On the contrary, it is unexpectedly pleasant.
"I didn't expect that the patient this time would be you. I can't help but say that you have had some problems with your soul recently." Doctor Crow said.
"Withstood the impact of the earth's veins." Esde said.
"I see, it was you who caused the disorder in Britain's leylines before." Doctor Crow couldn't help but feel that his friend was really good at causing trouble, and he really hadn't changed at all.
Esther quickly waved his hand to deny it, always feeling that his image was very dishonest in the eyes of Dr. Crow. The problem with the earth veins was not caused by him, it was clearly caused by a demon of Saxir species.
, he will not take the blame.
"Let's go, I'll take you back." Esther stretched out his hand.
"Are you still living in the castle now?" Doctor Crow asked casually.
"No, the original castle has now become ruins. I now live in my family's home." Esther said.
Since you are his dependent, it is no different from living in your own home.
"You accepted a family member again, I thought you wouldn't..."
"Well, there is a child named Lilina. She is quite lively. You will see her when you return." Esther interrupted Crow.
Afterwards, Esther took Dr. Crow home and let him live here for the time being.
After entering the door, Dr. Crow saw this lively child that Esther mentioned. Well, he looked at it with full vigilance. He was quite lively.
"First time we meet, lovely and lively lady, I am Esther's friend, you can call me doctor, or Crow." Doctor Crow introduced himself with a smile.
Doctor or Crow, this is its name, or it may be that it has no name at all. These two words are just a code name and a title. At least, this is what Esther always calls it.
After hearing Crow's self-introduction, Lilina's first reaction was that this person's voice sounded nice. In short, after learning that it was Esther's friend, Lilina put down her guard.
Because Fu Fu made her always nervous before. Now it seems that this doctor is not as scary as Fu Fu said.
"Hello, my name is Lilina Skate. I am..." Lilina glanced at Est and continued: "I am Est's dependent. You can just call me Lilina."
Crow seemed to notice something strange about Lilina when she introduced herself, and his eyes couldn't help but show slight surprise.
"What you are wearing around your neck is..."
"The banshee's blessing." Esther said.
Dr. Crow was surprised and said, "Can you please take a look at it?"
Lilina cast a questioning look at Est, and Est nodded in agreement before taking out the banshee's blessing from her chest.
Doctor Crow observed the pendant carefully, "Blessings are exchanged for curses. It seems that you have experienced a painful past."
Lilina's expression became a little gloomy, but she quickly recovered.
"Who is her guarantor?" Doctor Crow asked again.
This time, Esther said helplessly: "Me."
A strange look appeared in Doctor Crow's eyes. Based on his understanding of Esther, he would not do such a thing.
"I was tricked." Esther said with unbearable memories.
Seeing this, Dr. Crow stopped asking any more questions and started talking about the treatment of Esther's soul.
"About your soul, I think..."
Esther looked at Lilina's pendant and asked Doctor Crow: "Do you have any idea?"
Doctor Crow said: "Yes, but it can't work here. It has to be changed to another place."
"Change somewhere?"
Why change place?
"Your soul is damaged due to the erosion of the earth's veins. Here, the earth's veins will affect the repair of your soul." Doctor Crow said.
"Wouldn't that be better?"
The huge magic power of the earth's veins can help him repair his soul.
"It's a negative effect. The earth veins will cause the soul to assimilate. Although it won't hurt you, it will slow down the recovery of your soul."
Doctor Crow laughed softly a few times, and then said politely to Lilina: "Lilina, can you please help us prepare a quiet room? I think I can perform the operation now."
As for why it was quiet instead of clean, it was because the surgery subject was a vampire.
