Derek's face was flushed red, and his eyeballs were protruding. The sudden force had snapped his neck.The strong vitality began to quickly repair the injury, but the air still couldn't enter the lungs from the trachea.

He subconsciously ignored the third person in the room, but it didn't matter, a wild low-level filthy blood could not constitute an absolute influence in this kind of battle.What is really worth fearing is the sacred object in Nils' hands.

At this time, his camouflage had been completely exposed, the fangs and claws had pierced the skin, and even strong scales began to grow on the constantly injured neck.Derek tried to adjust his upper body posture and struggled to stand up.

But the strength in the throat is also increasing, not even much weaker than him!

"How could it be...she's just one of the lowest..."

With his hands back, his fingertips dug deep into the girl's slender waist, destroying the internal muscles and bones.There was a beast-like roar of pain from the latter, but he didn't let go of his strength at all.

"Right, that is it."

Niels seemed to be enjoying a play. He sat calmly on the high-backed chair and clapped his hands.

"Victoria, this is the most suitable coming-of-age ceremony for you. It is not a half-baked person who uses faith as a cover-up, and it is not a crime committed by an ignorant child because of ignorance."

"This is indeed the killing and plundering of your own will, eat it, drink his flesh and blood, this is you and me, the filthy blood that should go to hell—"

Nils picked up the cross gun wrapped with dirty yellow cloth and gently tapped Derek's left chest.In the latter's horrified expression, a hole the size of a bowl appeared in his chest and showed no sign of healing.

The gun point provoked a heart that was still beating, and it struggled like another independent life.The alienated flesh and blood trembled on the spearhead, and the wound turned into a crooked mouth. The white teeth rubbed against the metal spearhead to make a toothache sound.

It split out several deformed baby arms, and tried its best to push itself out of the gun point, but no matter whether it was the mouth or fingers, when it touched the gun point, it was like touching a red-hot iron.

Yellow transparent foam and scorched white smoke spread, and within a few seconds, the heart completely turned into scorched black.

After losing his heart, Derek's body did not show any changes, just like an ordinary human being.

Nils threw the sacred spear on the ground casually, talking to the dead fellow hunter.

"I'm sorry, man, but it's not a bad way to die."

Derek is considered a relatively gentle and kind person among the filthy blood, but he has never tortured the humans under his control to death, and his three children even have half human blood.Therefore, Niels felt that this method of death, which would not alienate into a monster in the end, but could maintain a human body, was decent enough and worthy of Derek's character.

If he could, after it was all over, he wished for the same ending for himself.

Victoria Milusel's consciousness gradually recovered. She looked at everything in front of her eyes, and there was a glimmer of sadness or some other unknown emotion in her eyes.

Victoria looked at the blood on her hand, the iron bar had cut her skin, and there was both her blood and Derek's.Under the pale dead skin, new flesh and skin were being formed rapidly, and the itching made her wish she could put her hand into the stove.

There was a sweet taste of blood in her mouth, she was already a complete filthy blood, no... maybe even worse than filthy blood.

My waking hours are getting shorter and shorter...

Victoria thought, but it didn't matter anymore. Whether she was sober or crazy, she was already abnormal.

If it is true as Nils said, she and the city will be destroyed.

That's it.

Chapter 70 Midas Kleist

"By the way, when you arrive in Belleville, there should be a test waiting for you."

On the carriage, Melanie seemed to suddenly remember something.

"If you can pass, you should be considered an official collaborator like me."

Ella was stunned, and said in disbelief,

"You're telling me about such an important thing now?"

Melanie turned her head in embarrassment. She opened the curtains and let the cool wind from the window tug at her hair.Miss Detective's voice became slightly inaudible in the wind,

"Sorry, I'm a little drunk..."

"That's a little too much..."

Ella couldn't help but slander.

The brandy that Melanie drank this morning was strong distilled spirits. With the size of a glass, the amount of two glasses is enough to knock down a strong man.And Melanie's physique is similar to that of most wizards, that is, not very good.

But thinking of this, Ella didn't care much about the other party's small mistakes.

Putting the test at such a time is undoubtedly a good opportunity for me, as long as she passes the test, she can get the channel and identity she wants.

Ella believes that in the current situation, the examination should be relatively loose.After all, what the executors need to deal with now is the hunter who shows signs, which is definitely a very dangerous enemy. In this case, it is reasonable for them to acquiesce to the gray identities of some collaborators to a certain extent.

According to Melanie, there are countless wizards gathered in Belleville now, and Ella didn't use the "door" for this reason.

Teleportation magic has a certain degree of randomness when the coordinates are not determined enough. If you are unlucky, they may be directly teleported to the face of an executor or a dark wizard.

"If it were me, I might subconsciously fight back."

In addition, a calmer style of conduct should leave a better impression on the examiner.To use an inappropriate analogy, this is the experience Ella once mastered within Kraft.

When accepting the professor's punishment, it is definitely easier to be forgiven for writing a self-criticism than using magic to write.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help smiling.

Ella chose the carriage without much consideration. On the one hand, the distance would help Melanie sober up, and on the other hand, Melanie was entirely responsible for such expenses during the bodyguard mission.

She propped her chin up on her wrist and leaned her head against the glass, looking at the street.

The scene that was different from the past brought Ella back to her thinking. Although it was still in the morning, there was almost no one on the street. In a little further away, people could be vaguely seen on the banks of the Seine.

The atmosphere in the city is a bit strange, the noise of those reconstruction works seems to disappear overnight, which makes people who are used to the noise feel very uncomfortable.

The vitality of Paris has been suppressed to a low point. Only now, Ella was surprised to realize that the streets after reconstruction are so empty, so deserted that people feel daunting.

"Something seems wrong today..."

The coachman Connor seemed to notice Ella’s whisper and explained casually,

"Not just today, Mademoiselle, I guess it will be like this in Paris for the next month."

"What's the matter?"

Ella was a little surprised.

"You don't know yet, Paris is currently suffering from cholera, and the Haussmann baron urged the residents not to go out as much as possible, and even the reconstruction project has been postponed now."

Only then did Ella know the reason why the streets became quiet. She didn't have to worry about the people living in No. 30 of the Champs Elysees. Even if Ling and the others were not good at refining potions, they could easily do so through magic rituals. at this point.With them, Annai and Farmine would be safe.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Then why are you hired by us at this time?"

Connor is indeed just an ordinary coachman, he should have no way to avoid the disease.

The coachman seemed to be very chatty, and began to complain to Ira about some things.

"My dear lady, not everyone has enough money to hide in the house at leisure. People are panicking everywhere now, and even the price of food is half higher than before."

"I have two children to support. If I don't work, I will soon be unable to afford a loaf of bread. I heard that leeches are very profitable recently. I am considering whether to find a way to catch some. I will estimate that Senna will spend half a day at night. The river will be cleaned up by those guys!"

"After all, it is strange that a lady like you dares to go to Belleville at this time..."

As he spoke, he noticed that the other party stopped talking, and just muttered something and then got bored and didn't say anything else.

Ella rubbed her forehead, thinking about more important things than talking about her.

According to the information obtained by Ella, the cholera itself is inseparable from the foul blood, and it is probably the source of the disease that the hunter ordered Puzo to spread.

But she didn't figure out the meaning of it. From the bill, it can be seen that the leeches that Puzo stockpiled in the No. [-] warehouse of the Batignolles stronghold came from formal channels, and Ella didn't feel the pollution from those leeches. smell.Coupled with the traces Niels and the others deliberately released in Belleville, do they just want to cause chaos?

She felt like she had caught something, but it was so fuzzy that it was difficult to connect all the threads.

The carriage journey took less than an hour, as the streets were clear of pedestrians and other vehicles, significantly shortening the time it took to get from Batignolles to the Belleville neighborhood.

This place is somewhat similar to Batignolles, where crowded and cramped buildings are piled together, but unlike Batignolles, they naturally leave a road in the middle that is big enough for horse-drawn carriages. Make the block look more organized than the former.

There is no sewage or obvious garbage on the ground. In the central street and the house alleys on both sides, there are many well-dressed people coming and going. Their dressing style is out of place compared with the slums.

Most of these people are executors or wizards who have a cooperative relationship with the government.

Ella even saw a few familiar figures in it. They all appeared in the unofficial wizarding gathering under the Red Theater.

If they hadn't been recently recruited as informants, maybe even Ms. Detective herself would not have known that there were other insiders like herself at the party.

I don’t know how Mr. “Baron” would feel after seeing this scene.

The carriage stopped at the street corner. With the help of medicine, Melanie's alcoholism had completely dissipated. She paid an extra seven francs as a tip, which was even more than the money for temporarily renting the carriage. It is usually enough for a less wealthy family to use for a week.

Melanie, who made a lot of money recently, is very generous. After hearing about Mr. Coachman's plight on the road, she deliberately paid more money, and warned:

"It's not safe outside, and health can't be bought with money...If possible, try to stay at home."

Connor took a large five-franc silver coin and two smaller coins, and nodded gratefully.

He agreed with his mouth, but he was thinking about the expenses he would need for nearly a month.

"Just make some more... I wish I could stay home during times like this."

This kind of thinking was almost written on his face, and Ella wanted to give him some more money helplessly.But this time Connor was unwilling to accept what he said, he just waved his hand and drove the carriage away.

A restaurant on the street is still operating normally. According to the news that Melanie received in advance, this is the executor's contact point in the Belleville area. The wizards gathered here will be assigned the area to be investigated here, and they can go to Return to the contact point for resupply on the way.

The person in charge of this place, Tuke Mikkelsen, has a strange alchemy prop, which is a simple map drawn on parchment with black ink.

The person who signed the temporary contract will reveal his footprints and name on the map. The holder of the map can use this feature to judge the situation and state of the other party, so as to avoid possible dangers during the exploration process.

In fact, this can also serve as a surveillance function in itself.

Ella heard about this alchemy prop when she was in Kraft, and it is said that it was the product of a prank by a few naughty students.But they themselves who were able to make such alchemy props in their student days were also rare geniuses.

On the other hand, after all, this is just something made by students, so the ability is not very comprehensive.As far as Ella knew, it could not see through the confusion spell, so the girl was not worried that the name "Ella Williams" would appear on the parchment.

Witnessed by Tuke, Ella establishes a connection with the sheepskin map, and the name "Vill Farmini" appears in the central building of the sheepskin map, which is the restaurant named "Quiet Moonlight".

The person in charge of the contact point signaled Melanie Raffili to wait outside. According to the usual rules of the executor recruiting partners, the examiner and the examinee need to stay alone in a closed environment during the investigation.

The senior personnel responsible for this examination have been waiting here in advance.

Ella walked into a restaurant box, and sitting opposite the dining table was a middle-aged man with a slightly receding hairline who looked rather kind.

There are some exquisite foods on the table, and to Ella's surprise, they are more Scottish-style dishes.This made her feel a sense of kindness, but she also couldn't help feeling a lot of guard.

The interim executive officer in Paris still hasn't given up looking for her, and the other party still seems to suspect that "Ella Williams" may be hidden among the wizards recruited this time.Although everyone may be facing the same food, she cannot be careless.
