In that case, I'll teach you a lesson - Arteluqi narrowed her eyes unhappily, and a breath from eternity suddenly emanated like a ferocious beast. …… Victor actually didn't have time to run very far. Although his speed increased significantly after adding six points of agility, overall, his current speed is actually not much faster than the 100 miles per hour of a traditional car, and this is when he is running at full speed with the dual blessing of magic and magic power. But even so, in just a dozen seconds, he ran several hundred meters away. Then, he felt a palpitating feeling coming from behind. He turned back suddenly and saw the blood-colored earth. The moon in the sky turned red at some point, dimly illuminating everything, including him, who seemed to be locked in by this blood-colored moon. Principle Blood Ring... He used his ultimate move - he did not know the principle of the Principle Blood Ring, he only knew that it was only possessed by the Ancestor, and that every apostle would have a different "unique rule talent" once he obtained it, which was like magic, a unique ability to fundamentally change the rules of the world. He didn't even know the specific abilities of Altluqi, but there was no doubt - the scene before him told him that Altluqi had inherited her father's, or her mother Zhu Yue's, style in terms of strength, and was very talented in using the moon. Victor's pace slowly slowed down. His intuition from his Dead Apostle bloodline told him that he could not run away. He has been locked onto by the other party. No matter how fast he runs, he cannot escape the area illuminated by the moon. In other words, if he continues to run, he will even be punished by the other party.
His speed became slower and slower, and he finally stopped with a frown. He looked around at the shadows that were stained with a layer of crimson, and couldn't help but sigh slightly. So the other party's target is me... The other party did not make him wait too long, because just a few seconds after Victor had this thought, he felt a fishy wind coming from behind, and the petite figure of Artluqi had already flown towards him under the moonlight. Scarlet eyes, jet-black Gothic miniskirt, and long hair that falls to the waist like a waterfall - who can imagine what kind of mysterious and tyrannical soul is hidden in this petite body of only fourteen or fifteen years old? Victor remained silent. He didn't know why the other party saved him or what they wanted to do to him. But since resistance was doomed to be futile, he could only remain silent and wait for the other party to explain their intentions. And Artluqi did not speak immediately. She looked at the newborn in front of her with interest, squinting her eyes, and it was unknown what she was thinking. "You didn't kill her?" Abruptly, Victor took the initiative to end the silence and spoke. "Hmm? How do you know?" Artluqi was slightly stunned, and tilted her head with interest: "Could it be that your familiar is still there? That shouldn't be the case. On the moon, there shouldn't be any magic that can escape my perception--" "Too fast." The crimson blood moon was gradually dissipating. Victor took a deep breath and said calmly, "You came too fast. He was a great knight commander. Even if he was crushed by you and tried his best to escape, he would not be killed by you so easily—" Most importantly, he knew a little bit about the background of the Grand Knight Commander, and knew that she was called the Holy Shield Knight and had amazing abilities in defense and survival. The opponent would not choose to fight to the death, not because she was afraid of death, but as a knight commander, once she realized that she could not win and death was just a meaningless sacrifice, she had to pass on the important information of Altluchi's appearance. "Hmm... that makes sense." Hearing this, Arteluqi nodded slightly and said, "After all, I'm in a hurry..." "You should have killed her." Victor lowered his eyes, a little helpless: "I don't want to be remembered by the entire Inquisition Knights—" "If you kill her, you will be remembered as well." Hearing this, Artluqi smiled. She landed on the ground, her bloodshot eyes emitting a teasing expression, and she said calmly, "Do you know why I risked being exposed to save you?" …… Chapter 14: You Can't Kill Her
why? It must be because of me, Victor rolled his eyes in his heart - the only point of contact between his body and the King of the Dead Apostles, or even ordinary Dead Apostles, was when his elder bit him, and other than that, there was almost no contact in his entire life. Besides, he had already walked around so many times, and this desolate wilderness was definitely not a proper route to a town or somewhere, so it was impossible for him to wander here aimlessly. This means that the other party must have come over because he sensed me within a certain range. Thinking about it this way, the reason why he is related to the Dead Apostle Princess becomes clearer. At this point, he was basically certain in his mind that the white-masked apostle who bit him was probably one of the legendary guards of Altluki, the famous Eighth Ancestor, Finner Brad Sfielding. That is White Knight Brad. This is not good news... While Victor was complaining in his heart, he looked cooperative and raised his head, showing an attitude of listening. This made the ancestor of the Dead Apostles quite satisfied, so she nodded and continued, "The reproduction of the Dead Apostles is based on the exchange of source blood. Although the blood relationship established in this way gives the elders absolute control over their offspring, it also strengthens the connection between the two parties." "In other words, I am looking for your elder, and your appearance will make it much easier for me, who could only sense him within a certain range." "Using the blood connection for positioning?" Victor nodded. This was not a difficult topic to understand. In fact, even in human magic, there were many similar tracking techniques. "But I don't know any magic related to this." "It's okay, I can teach you." Artluqi was quite straightforward. She was never stingy in this regard. Victor agreed very neatly: "Okay, what should I do." "Huh? Ha, to be honest, what you promised is a lot simpler than I thought..." Artluqi looked at the other party in surprise, and the latter just shrugged with a helpless expression. You have no choice but to agree. Artluki did not kill the other party, which is bound to further ferment the news of her appearance in Croatia. Next, not only will there be the White Knight Brad on this land, but also the appearance of the Dead Apostle Princess. It is obvious that Croatia will inevitably face a major purge of the church. In other words, during the next period of time, although staying with the princess would make him the main target, the other party's strength would also provide him with some protection. Thinking of this, Victor even suspected that Altluchi deliberately let Lizbaifei go just to cut off his own retreat? Well, probably not. After all... Victor looked down at the new task panel that appeared in front of him - [Mandatory mission—the elders’ orders cannot be disobeyed! ] The superior with supreme dignity brings the first order to your vampire life. Use the connection in your blood to help him find your elder. Mission objective: Help the Dead Apostle Princess Altuluchi find her most loyal guard, White Knight Brad. Mission rewards: Random excellent-level rewards, experience, source crystal, talent point +1, and alive. Note: Mandatory tasks cannot be rejected or canceled, otherwise there will be serious consequences. Wow...the mandatory tasks are out.
Victor clicked "OK" rather helplessly. He did not feel that the other party had issued any orders, and he did not trigger any will judgment. In other words, Altluchi was still quite friendly at the moment and was only trying to "convince people with reason." But obviously, this attitude only comes from the good mood after the other party discovered me and I did not refuse. Otherwise... Victor glanced at the word "alive" marked in bright red fonts at the end of the task. Haha, its meaning is self-evident. The tyrannical Black Princess is a well-known existence in the entire human mysterious world. It is said that anyone who encounters her will be killed without a complete corpse if they are not careful... In a sense, this is not groundless. Compared with the other vampire princess White Princess, Black Princess is more like a dead apostle princess. She is more willful, arrogant and cruel. But what does that have to do with me? Victor sighed and followed Heiji. He just wanted to survive. …… What Altluchi gave to Victor was not magic, but a more ancient existence, a "secret technique" unique to the Dead Apostles. Once activated, he could vaguely sense the location of people of his own bloodline, no matter how far away they were. However... this secret technique looked like something used by superiors to sense the existence of inferiors. So when he tried to use it to retrieve Brad's location, he failed several times due to the other party's suppression from his bloodline, mysterious resistance, and so on. After half a day, they succeeded only once and temporarily determined their location. Although the process was a bit frustrating, Artluqi seemed quite satisfied. Judging from her unexpected look, she had obviously known the difficulty of this. No matter what, White Knight Brad is one of the twenty-seven ancestors alive today. His mystery is top-notch. He can break through the double suppression of mystery and blood in such a short time and slightly sense the specific location. In her opinion, this is already a sign of extraordinary talent. It’s just this location... Victor looked in the direction he came from. He knew that Brad passed the town behind him, but it was just in such a straight line without any deviation. The other party is going straight down. Strange, wouldn't it be easier to be hunted down if we continue like this? Victor looked at Altluchi strangely, but the other party looked as if it was as expected, as if he had guessed this situation a long time ago. "Let's go. We have already wasted a lot of time. Let's go before daybreak—" Altluqi had a complicated look on her face and spoke first in a low voice. A week ago, Altluchi, who had been traveling overseas, received an invitation from the White Winged Prince, Tefanm Ottenroche, saying that there was an important matter to discuss and to conduct a negotiation about the future of the Dead Apostles. Altluki sneered at the attitude towards this negotiation. The two have been in hostile factions for many years. As the child of the true King of the Dead Apostles, Altluki is firmly in the position of pure bloodline, while the White Winged Duke relies on his strong strength, ambition, and personal charm to gain the support of a large number of surviving Dead Apostles. He is similar to the most powerful minister under the Crown Prince, and even has the title of "King of the Dead Apostles". From this point of view, he is naturally a thorn in the eyes of Altluki. What makes Altluki most clear and frustrated is that with the ability and ambition of the White Wing Prince, the only one who can make him surrender is her father/mother, the former king, the one who gave her her surname, Zhuyue Brunstad. She couldn't do it, and couldn't even contain the rapid expansion of the other party's power. Because of this, the two factions almost turned against each other. Although it cannot be called hostility, it is because the life of the Dead Apostles is really not easy nowadays, and everyone needs to unite to face the outside world. She originally wanted to ignore it, but her White Knight Brad and Black Knight Stulut thought otherwise. They believed that the joint suppression by the church and the Magic Association in recent years had made Prince White Wing feel a deep sense of crisis. Especially after the siege launched by Barthelmero, the pinnacle of the Magic Association's Clock Tower, against the Dead Apostles a few years ago, which almost wiped out most of the Dead Apostles in Britain at one time, the situation of the entire Dead Apostles became precarious. And at this time, since the other party has taken the initiative to invite her, then no matter what, as the future "King of the Dead Apostles", she, Altluchi, should respond or even go.
Artelucci has the ambition to become the king. Although this ambition did not come from ambition, but simply from the pursuit of Zhu Yue, the king of the previous generation of Dead Apostles, from the jealousy of his sister's pure blood, and from a childishness that seemed like a temper. This caused her to not focus on developing her own power, but to blindly pursue power, trying to reach the same height as Zhu Yue to prove that she was qualified to lead the Dead Apostles. But even so, this was also an ambition to stand at the top. A sage judges by deeds, not by heart; the same is true for kings. On this point, Stuart and Brad actually saw it more clearly than anyone else. Their loyalty was not pedantic. The reason why Altluchi was said to be so cruel was probably because she hated those who crushed the Dead Apostles. In a sense, she is protecting her own shortcomings. This is not bad, but compared to becoming a qualified "king", she still has a long way to go and still lacks an opportunity. Therefore, Altluchi finally chose to respond and returned to Europe, heading to the White Wing Prince's base camp, Berlin, Germany. Logically speaking, if you return to Europe from outside, unless you take a detour through Northern Europe, you will almost certainly pass through the church's stronghold, which is the Vatican in Italy. But she wasn't afraid. After all, Altluchi and his group were an invincible combination of three ancestors and a concept beast called a "primate killer". The three people and the beast were almost inseparable, and no one had dared to cause trouble for them for decades. So they planned to go straight to Berlin as usual. Then, as expected, they had an accident. A huge space maze was waiting for them. The people of the church were well prepared and completely broke up the combination of three people and one beast in one fell swoop, trying to defeat them one by one. "So, you were ambushed like this?" Two hours later, Victor and Altluchi stood on the outskirts of this familiar town, looking at the eerily quiet night and fell into deep thought. It's a bit strange that the believers who were under full martial law before have disappeared... Victor sniffed slightly and frowned: "There is not even a trace of human in the whole town." "Evacuated?" "It seems that the news of your arrival here has been successfully brought back." "We can't help it. We've been delayed for too long." Artluqi wrinkled her nose slightly. The smell of the church that disgusted her was still here. "But it's better to evacuate them all. No matter how harmless the flies are, they can still be annoying." "I hope so." Victor always felt that something was wrong. He accompanied Arteluci through the quiet streets, looking around again and again. Suddenly, he turned around and asked, "Could it be a trap?" "Hmm?" Artluqi was slightly startled, then realized that the other party was continuing the previous topic, and couldn't help but snorted softly and said, "Impossible, I confirmed again and again before going to Berlin, that it was indeed the message written by the White Winged Duke himself and from his familiars." "And no matter how disgusting Lord White Wing is, I must admit that given his personality, it is impossible for him to do something like joining forces with the church." In fact, it is more likely that the news leaked out. After all, there are too many lunatics and former magicians among the Dead Apostles. These people thoroughly adhere to the principle of selfish behavior. Although they will not coexist with a force like the Church that cannot tolerate a grain of sand in its eyes, they often have unclear relationships with people in the Magic Association. From this perspective, Lord Bai Yi's control over his subordinates is not as strong as he imagined... Altluchi fell into deep thought. To be honest, she had never thought about this aspect before Victor brought it up.
"That's not what I said." Victor's expression became even weirder. He frowned and looked at Altluchi for a while, and seemed to have figured something out in his mind: "I mean, could the incident against Brad be a trap?" "What do you mean?" Artluqi was stunned. "Brad's unchanged position proves that he is actually walking in a straight line." Victor held his chin up and stared at Altluki closely. "To be honest, I can't imagine why one would move in a straight line when being chased, unless there is a destination that must be reached as soon as possible." "But he obviously didn't. Your target is Berlin, Germany, but this direction is the opposite of Seville—"
