Chapter 562
Going all the way to the south, the more south the road under your feet, the more you can feel summer is approaching; when you first enter Byrne, you can feel a bit of warm and cold in early spring, and Right now, there are already green trees, Birds, Speech, Flowers, Fragrances, and even the types of flowers and leaves on the roadside have become more diverse.
If it weren't for the smooth street that stretched to the horizon and the street sign outside the pub just now, whoever replaced it would probably get lost.
Apart from this, the number of pedestrians on the road is gradually decreasing. One day, one night, you can’t see the carriage passing by... Obviously it is already the hinterland of Byrn Duchy, the most prosperous and fertile The desolate land is slightly worse than the border.
If the tavern boss didn't lie, I'm afraid it won't take too long to see the patrol and Luca of the Scarlet Blood Castle.
"So...what do you think?"
The black hair wizard glanced at Asriel next to him, and the head of the young man who was humming a little tune all the way shook his head and danced with small steps. He seemed to follow behind, but was always within three steps of Loren, his narcissistic expression didn't seem to hear his voice at all.
This guy...Since he left Imperial Capital Golovin, he has become more and more unscrupulous. As long as no one is around, he will appear by himself; even if he is hit by someone, he will deliberately pretend to be stupid. I don't worry at all that my identity will be exposed.
"Huh?"
Shaking the bangs on his forehead, the boy tilted his head in confusion.
"I mean vampire." Loren's expression is natural, it is better to say that he is completely numb: "You should be familiar with this kind of monster."
"Um...No It's very clear, after all, Asriel is just a juvenile vampire." With the little hands behind him, the young man shook his head helplessly:
"Although it is a very rare high-level monster, it is actually not rare; In other words, unlike ghoul, ogre or trolls, there are specific distribution areas. As long as there are warm-blooded living creatures, it is normal to appear anywhere."
"Then...vampire in different regions What about the blood requirements?" Loren asked slightly with eyebrows raised, and pointedly asked: "Are there any specific targets, or I must take blood regularly?"
"Maybe. , After all, there are a lot of vampires who are provocative!"
"Then...Is there any vampire that specializes in provocative, only for the rich and powerful nobles?" The corners of the black hair wizard's mouth evoke a little arc. .
"Anyone will have their own preferences..." The boy also smiled slyly: "Dear Loren, what do you think?"
"I very much agree with this Kind of opinion." Loren slightly nodded, sneered.
Except for the vampire, which did not leave any traces of human blood, it only targeted the rich and powerful in the Scarlet Blood Castle, leaving no traces except the corpses at the scene. ...
Dare you make it more obvious?
The conspiracy to kill to get so blatant is enough to prove how unscrupulous the people who started the attack are, and they have almost brought things like eradicating dissidents and assassinations to the surface!
Obviously, the so-called "vampire" is just a gimmick, a cover used to shirk responsibility; the murderer does not even expect this cover to deceive anyone, but only needs to allow outsiders to accuse themselves in an unjustified manner, and at the same time take the opportunity An excuse to seize power!
"So... is Governor Byrne?" Asriel raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"Otherwise, who else could it be?" Loren asked rhetorically, but it seemed to be asking himself:
"The Scarlet Blood Castle is the domain of the Torino family. They wouldn’t do stupid things that are self-defeating. If it weren’t for them, it would only be the Governor of Byrne!"
"Also, there is one thing I care about." The black hair wizard calmly opened the mouth and said: "Since the Governor's Mansion has been vigorously suppressing the spread of rumors, blocking roads and strictly forbidden to come and go alone, why does the tavern boss still know so much detail?"
"Um... …" Asriel looked up at the sky, with a contemplative expression: "So...there is someone from the Governor's Mansion who is secretly spreading rumors?"
"This is the only explanation." Loren nodded:
"On the one hand, it was a desperate blockade, making the female count speechless by acting like an official business; on the other hand, it secretly spread the news and let the riots and tragedies of vampire in the whole Byrne well known-by doing this, apart from Governor Byrne, I really can't think of anyone who would benefit from it!"
"No matter whether the vampire is true or not, it is only used by them to suppress and destroy the Torino family. The means of prestige allowed the powerful nobles of the Scarlet Blood Castle to see the inability of the Torino family when facing problems, and the weakness in front of the Governor’s Mansion can be bullied!"
"If Charlotte Torino Can’t come up with a solution as soon as possible, or just let it go and confront the Governor’s Mansion... It won’t take too long for the Torino family to completely disappoint all the nobles in the Red Blood Castle. In order to save their lives, they can only turn to represent the empire. The authority of the Governor's Mansion!"
"What should I do?"
"It depends on which step she is willing to do and how many people can support her." The black hair wizard raised his eyebrows: "But in any case, vampire is the top priority now, and the trouble must be solved as soon as possible."
"Ah..." Asriel looked at him, it seemed that he understood something: "Loren prepares Will you help her?"
The black hair wizard sighed, his tone a little solemn: "This is also something that can't be helped."
The commotion of the Scarlet Blood Castle and even the entire Byrne Duchy Obviously, it is a sign that Governor Byrne is ready to attack the Torino family and even seize power-if the Torino family cannot survive this difficulty, it will be unacceptable consequences for Loren himself and Brandon who is far away in Imperial Capital!
Brandon Desalion sent the black hair wizard to Byrne because he could not lose the important support and foreign aid of the Torino family;
and went to Eboden I am afraid that the young Jodd has already seen the Corona Master. Loren must not wait for Eboden to go south to confront the Chamber of Commerce, but he has to face the monolithic Governor's Mansion by Byrne!
Of course there is more important, but it can’t be said clearly...that’s the right to speak.
I’ve just arrived here alone. Although I bear the name of the Torino family, I’m afraid not many people take themselves seriously. On the contrary, they will be more on guard because they are the messengers of the prince. First prove your importance to the Torino family and even the entire Scarlet Blood Castle.
Without the right to speak, in the next series of events, I will definitely get nothing, or even make wedding dresses for others... It may not matter before, but now Loren absolutely cannot accept this kind of thing.
The plan started in one's own hands, of course, must be fully controlled by oneself and end according to one's own wishes.
So, no matter whether the female count who always has no good face for herself can solve the current problem, Loren must find a way to intervene in this matter and end it in the shortest time!
Asriel on the side remained silent, watching the black hair wizard's gradually changing expression and slightly turbulent corners of his mouth, and an indescribable smile appeared on his immature face...
While Loren was still thinking about how to deal with it next, the sound of rushing horseshoes came from a distance, and a cloud of smoke was rolled up in the open field.
Cavalry?
Under the bright sunshine at noon, Loren lifts the head standing in the middle of the road, with dark pupils looking into the distance.
On the horizon at the end of the line of sight, among the green shades, a group of Knights in full armor and cloaks galloped on their horses. The long spear held high in their hands was also hung with a brightly colored swallowtail flag. On Takahashi's saddle hung a large two-handed sword full of height.
High-headed war horses, plate chain armor, lances, big swords, neatly lined up heavy riders galloping across the fields-the picture rarely seen elsewhere is what Byrne Duchy is most accustomed to A landscape.
Only in Byrne Duchy, every adult aristocratic youth must swear allegiance to the lord as a knight-errant Knight and shoulder the responsibility of defending the land-generally speaking, you can see the knight-errant knights Patrol the silhouette, it proves that the castle is very close.
Sure enough...on the hillside not far away, a black-bottomed Golden Lion flag hung on the top of the minaret, slowly fluttering in the warm summer breeze; under the minaret you can already see the city gate Shadow.
"Red Blood Castle, I am coming!"
