Werther walked for a while toward the farm and heard a noisy sound not far away. He saw a few villagers carrying rakes and some knights wearing spears. Under the leadership of the commander Knight Wright, they walked towards the distance.
We walked away. Several of them were pushing a cart with a girl tied to it.
The girl's hands and feet were tied with thick ropes. She frowned and looked helplessly with her grass-green eyes. She was wearing a long green cloth skirt and a dark green wide-brimmed hat. Her brown curly hair was combed high and curled in front of her forehead.
Her bangs and some strands of hair were scattered. The villagers cursed her and threw stones at her. The stones lightly scratched the girl's cheek, leaving long and thin scars.
Werther was looking at the girl, and the girl was winking at him as if grasping a life-saving straw. Her eyes seemed to say, "Help me, I'm innocent."
Why is this girl tied up, and where are they taking her? Wait, she is wearing green clothes! Could she be the girl mentioned in the parchment?
Maybe what I should do now is save her.
He rushed forward and shouted loudly: "Put that girl down!"
Those people turned their heads and looked at him with venomous eyes. Some of them held the guy in their hands tighter, as if they were about to attack.
Seeing this formation, Werther pulled out a sword inlaid with rubies. This sword was exclusive to the royal family and could prove the identity of the royal family.
He raised his sword and said loudly to those people: "I am the great prince Witte, and I will be your lord from today on. I want to know now what crime this girl has committed, and why do you want to tie her up?"
Everyone finally calmed down when they saw the sword.
When Knight Commander Wright saw Werther, he was surprised and said: "This sword with a strong smell of shit is enough to prove that he is His Highness the Great Prince, and there is no way he is fake!"
Although his identity was confirmed, Wright was obviously provoking himself. He put the sword back into the scabbard and thought, the more times like this, the more calm he needs to be. He cannot be irritated by such words. He just wants to get the seal.
Just save the girl.
Wright dismounted his horse with an extremely arrogant expression. He gave a very rough salute to Werther and said: "Your Highness, I am the knight commander of Daybreak Town. I am really sorry. As the knight commander, I did not go to greet you. I thought
You won’t arrive until tomorrow.”
Think I won’t arrive until tomorrow? This lie is too obvious.
"It's not that you made a mistake about the time, it's that you didn't pay attention to me as a lord at all," Witte said.
"Your Highness is not stupid, he can actually see it."
"I don't want to talk nonsense with you. I just want to know who the girl you tied up is and what mistake did she make?"
"Your Highness doesn't know that she is not alone."
"Oh, it's not one person, then two people? I understand, it turns out she is pregnant. I said, you can't kill her just because she is pregnant!"
"No, Your Highness, she is not pregnant. What I mean is that she is a spy sent by the Vampire Clan."
"Do you have any evidence that she is a spy of the vampire clan?"
"Of course, she is a vampire who cannot stay well in her own country and insists on coming to us. This is enough to prove that she is a vampire spy."
"Ha~ You can't say this is evidence at all, it can only be said to be a baseless conjecture. I think this matter needs to be looked at again. Let's let the girl go first. If she is accidentally injured, it will cause the human race and
Disputes between vampires."
"Your Highness." Wright sneered, "In the past when there was no lord in Daybreak Town, my subordinates have always managed Daybreak Town. In terms of experience, I am still better than Your Highness. Your Highness's judgment may not be correct, so please, please
Excuse
It’s hard for me to obey my orders.”
"Don't forget, I am the lord of Daybreak Town. Aren't you afraid that I will remove you from your position?"
"Sorry, it seems you don't have that ability. Because everyone knows that you are a burden in the royal family. Even if your subordinates punch you now, no one will say anything." Wright smiled contemptuously, and at the same time he really punched Werther in the face.
Hit him with a punch.
When Wright was punching, his cloak flew up. Werther clearly saw the seal pinned to Wright's waist. The seal was tied with a string. The string looked easy to break. If Wright wasn't paying attention, the seal would be broken.
When you use teleportation magic, you will definitely be able to get the seal.
Anyway, I am now irritated by him and want to teach him a lesson. So the safest way now is to use force to compete with Wright and use magic to get the seal during the fight.
Okay, let's start the duel now!
"Wright, look there's a flying saucer over there." Witt pointed to the sky diagonally above.
"What is a flying saucer?" Wright looked curiously in the direction of Werther's finger. Werther took this opportunity to give him a heavy punch, knocking him two meters away.
He rubbed the corners of his mouth and was so angry that veins popped up on his neck: "How dare you, a guy who is not in the royal family's favor, hit me?"
As he spoke, he stood up, drew his sword and was about to stab Werther. At this moment, Werther jumped easily, dodged the sword, and attacked Wright from behind, beating him until he almost vomited blood.
At this moment, Witte used the magic of teleportation to move the seal into his hand.
When Wright was unable to fight back, Werther easily took away his sword, broke it with force, and threw it in front of him.
"You are just a little knight commander. Even if I am no longer favored by my father and my status is higher than yours, how can I be despised by you?"
"Your Highness, spare your life..." Wright's arrogance had completely disappeared. He was frightened by Werther's force and quickly begged for mercy.
Witte looked at Wright and said: "However, you are the commander of the knights. Your force value is really too low. You can't even withstand one of my moves~"
"Your Highness, this subordinate realizes his mistake, and I will release him immediately."
"A guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong."
Wright ordered his men to loosen the girl and flee with a group of knights.
Witte touched the corner of his mouth and felt a little pain, but he could get back the leadership seal and save the girl, so this small injury was worth it.
At this time, Werther heard the sound of the parchment: the mission of rescuing the girl was completed, and he received the lord's seal and helpers.
Helper? Could it be this girl?
He turned his head and asked the girl standing aside: "By the way, why did Wright say you are a vampire spy?"
The girl replied softly: "I don't know why, but he arrested me as soon as I walked to the farm in Daybreak Town. Maybe he is a mentally disturbed person."
"He is indeed shameless. Now you are free and can go home."
The girl smiled evilly and said: "I left Brudin and came to Notland just to find you. I want to go back with you."
"Come to me?"
"As for the reason... I can't tell you until we return to your castle together."
"Why can't you just tell me?"
"Because it's a secret, and if you say it here, bad people might hear it."
It turned out that this girl was a vampire, and she said such mysterious words, which frightened Werther even more. He bravely observed the girl, and found that her delicate face had no expression, her temperament was cold, and her eyes revealed a strong purpose
.
Since the parchment asked me to save her, and also mentioned the word helper,
Then she probably won't harm me, so it's better to trust her for once.
The girl got impatient waiting for his answer and said calmly: "I'm so thirsty, take me to your castle quickly."
"Uh, okay."
As soon as Werther and the girl returned to the castle, Tom greeted him: "Your Highness, you are back. Who is this girl?"
"She is the vampire I rescued. Please give her a glass of water."
"One, one bucket..." The girl lowered her eyes and put her hands behind her back, saying sheepishly.
"Uncle Tom, bring me a bucket of water."
"A barrel of...meat."
"How long has it been since you've eaten?"
"I came from Bruding and was lost all the time. It took me two whole days to find Daybreak Town. During this period, I only drank a little water from the stream. It was because I was too hungry that I was caught by Wright."
"So that's it. It's really hard for you. Tom, bring me a glass of water and a bucket of meat."
"Yes, Your Highness," Tom replied.
The girl finally breathed a sigh of relief and told Werther the truth.
"My name is Lina Weisber, and the reason why I came to Notland to find you has to do with the Majik family.
My grandfather and Count Majik were close friends. Twelve years ago, when Count Majik was killed, my grandfather promised him one thing, which was to protect the surviving descendants of the Majik family.
However, because of his close relationship with Count Majik, my grandfather was also imprisoned in a dungeon by the human king and was released not long ago. He originally wanted to find the descendants of the Majik family, but due to his old age, he was no longer able to do so.
Already.
So I came to Notland to complete this mission on behalf of my grandfather, but I never thought that I would be caught by Wright. Fortunately, you rescued me. Only then did I hear that you are the great prince of Notland, and then I knew that you were a horse.
One of the descendants of Earl Jike."
"Yes, Count Majik is indeed my grandfather."
"What about the other descendants of the Majik family?"
"Alas, the Majik family was exterminated twelve years ago. Originally, my mother and I were spared because we were members of the royal family, but my mother eventually committed suicide out of hatred, and I was the only one left."
"What a pity." Lina sighed, "Don't worry, I will help you."
"It would be great if you could help me."
"Can I live in your castle from now on?"
"Well, yes, but are you sure you can get used to living in the human world?"
"Your castle has good lighting, I can live in it."
"Does good lighting mean there is less light?"
"Yes, when we vampires talk about good lighting, we mean less sunlight, but for humans, it's the opposite."
"As long as you get used to it, then you can choose a bedroom to live in today."
Until now, Werther has no idea how Lina can help him, and the parchment has no relevant hints. Perhaps Lina's role will be revealed one day in the future, but if he doesn't save her today, she
He would be thrown into the wilderness to feed the wolves by Wright, and he would be unable to help Werther in the future.
At night, Lina chose the bedroom closest to the corner of the castle because there was the least light in the entire castle.
It was already dark, and for a vampire, there was no need to close the curtains at this time.
Linna opened the heavy curtains to both sides and quietly looked at the white moon in the sky. She didn't like the sun, but the scenery filled with moonlight made her most at ease.
In the darkness, a pair of giant black bat wings suddenly appeared from behind her, and they flapped gently.
