Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 44 44. Hunting Vampires (1)

Maybe it's because what you want comes true, or maybe it's because Ms. Ruiwen has unintentionally paid more attention to her.In short, it didn't take long before Emma really had a chance to make money.

Because of the special circumstances, in order to facilitate this matter, Ms. Ruiwen directly reported the application to the dean instead of asking Emma for her opinion first.

I also don't know if the dean and the vice-president have struggled inwardly after receiving this application, or have they been strongly persuaded.

In short, Emma was called to the dean's room again.

Vice-principal Passy and Ms. Ruiwen had serious expressions, and they didn't speak for a long time. It seemed that they hadn't discussed who should speak at all. This matter was really out of order.

"Alas..." Finally, Ms. Ruiwen let out a long sigh, "Let me tell the story."

This task is very simple, four words, "act as bait", cooperate with the army to complete the hunting of vampires.

It stands to reason that this kind of hunting task should be handed over to experienced folk demon hunters, but the vampires who did evil this time were too cunning, and they didn't show their traces for three whole months, leaving the experienced demon hunters helpless. There were even rare casualties.

Meanwhile, the number of victims continues to increase.The increase caused panic among the people and the attention of the country, and finally decided to send regular troops to carry out the hunt.

"The victims... No, most of them are missing, all of them are underage girls, so the apprentices who are used as bait should preferably be at this age. Emma, ​​you can be regarded as setting a precedent for the academy."

"Since there has never been a sign of whereabouts, how can we be sure that the culprit is a vampire?"

Emma once again precisely aimed at the key point.

There are too many scary folk legends, describing all kinds of monsters that hurt and eat people, and they often add the sentence "Whoever sees dies" at the end of the story to increase the horror effect.

But if so, where did the witnesses come from?How did the story spread?
"Not long ago, the only survivor appeared in this incident. This statement is also inaccurate, because the girl died shortly after she was discovered, and she didn't even leave her last words."

The final conclusion was drawn from the examination of the corpse. The scars on the victim's neck that resembled canine bites were the strongest evidence that she had been kidnapped by a vampire.

There are different opinions about the origin of vampires, but it is widely accepted that this is an artificial mutation produced long ago when nobles without magical talents entrusted warlocks to study "immortality".

Vampires are infinitely close to humans in appearance, but they cannot be regarded as humans.In the above statement, they should be an "unnatural man-made magical creature".

Longevity is a good thing, but it is not cost-effective to be deeply cursed for this purpose.

Using "getting rid of the domination of circadian rhythm" as an opportunity to resist aging, the consequences are that you can no longer see the sun and swallow normal food.

It is even said that their hearts are no longer beating, so they need to rely on blood to maintain life and body temperature.And because no living body has ever been captured, how they reproduce remains a mystery.

Like other magical creatures, weapons made of mithril are very harmful to vampires.Touching this rare metal, which is stronger than steel but light as a goose feather, will make them burn like the sun.It's also the only way to kill them at night.

Without spending too much time thinking about it, Emma decided to take the job.

In order to minimize the impact on junior apprentices, this task was decided to be carried out in secret.Emma didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to her roommates, so she just followed Ms. Ruiwen on the road.

"Don't worry, the dean will make up a reason to explain to your friends."

……

After meeting the client of the task, Emma's mood became very complicated.

When she first heard the word "army", what she imagined in her mind was the garrison of Carrilia City.To solve the territorial issue and mobilize the local army, it should be so.The most is to deploy some troops from nearby noble cities as support.

Who would have expected that it would be the Silver Falcon Army that was sent to carry out the extermination mission?

Aren't you the army directly under the capital?

Aren't the tasks you perform all particularly important and difficult?
Emma's head was full of question marks, but her eyes were fixed on Lawrence's face.

She seemed to have acquired a particularly bad habit of finding it difficult to speak in Lawrence's presence.At this moment, she felt her throat was dry, her temples were swollen and painful, and there was a subtle vibration in her forehead.

It's not a normal thing to feel every beat of your own heart on your face, is it?

"Why... sent you here?"

Although Lawrence looked suspicious, he still smiled very nicely, just like Hexi's sunshine.

"Elizabeth, are you kidding me?"

Cass Barker, the adjutant of the Silver Falcon Army, stepped forward and bent down to approach Emma.He is tall, and to be almost face to face with Emma, ​​he needs to bend an exaggerated arc.

"When I entrusted you, I have repeatedly emphasized that I want a beauty of sixteen or seventeen years old! Yes! Beautiful! Female! I remember the picture of this little girl, and the man next to her is even more beautiful than her."

"Dirty things! You go away!"

Emma didn't know why, but every time she saw Cass, she felt angry.Even after knowing that he saved his life, it is difficult to feel any gratitude to this person.

Anyway, he was also acting under Lawrence's order, and she could project all her gratitude to the commander of the Silver Falcon Army.

As for this dirty, smelly and sloppy adjutant who also likes to visit Mingshu Street... She only hopes that she will never have to have any interaction with him.

"You! What did you say?!"

Cass couldn't believe his ears, how dare this little girl scold him?No... He remembered that she had yelled at him the first time they met.

【Hello!Is this how you treat ladies! 】

That's right, she was like...a lion cub at the time, from eyes to voice, she was fearless and ferocious.Even the man who was defeated by him and held in his hand at that time did not have such aura.

"Interesting... I almost forgot, you are blocking..."

"Cass, if I remember correctly, I didn't receive the commission from you."

Although Ms. Ruiwen smiled like a flower, there was a ruthless look in her eyes.She interrupted Cass rudely, and gently pulled Emma behind her.

Then, she crossed her arms and looked down at the bent adjutant in front of her.The powerful aura made the opponent involuntarily shiver.

"It's too embarrassing...Elizabeth. Since we are the ones who are sent to carry out the mission, I should have a say in who is the bait?"

Cass straightened up, but subconsciously took a step back.Judging from their mutual appellations, it should be a little friendship.At least not the first time working together.

Cass, who was used to being arrogant, couldn't hide his fear of this femme fatale.

Sure enough, only strength can bring the strongest right to speak. Emma gloated and hid behind Ms. Ruiwen, full of admiration and yearning for this teacher.

"Cass Barker! Let me solemnly declare again now, whether it is this time or in the future, in our cooperation, I have [-]% the right to speak! Since I think Emma Green is the most suitable candidate, she will definitely is!"

Cass swallowed, and took another step back.

"Yes... yes... I believe in your vision."

"Haha, ask for trouble."

Lawrence laughed out loud.This was the first time Emma heard his laughter, it was a voice from the heart, full of vitality, heartless and without city government, just like a child.

He should be the kind of person who has lived in love and sunshine since he was a child, so he has such a pure soul.
