"That's the so-called lower city, where the nobles of Enoch used to raise livestock."

From the very beginning, Fittili in the carriage never glanced at the magnificent and magnificent Upper Town, and her eyes were always on the dense fog under the bridge and those old-fashioned black buildings.Some memories that had been buried for a long time climbed up from the secluded well again.

【Abigail!Let's go play together. 】

【elder sister. 】

【Miss... come back early. 】

Feitili seemed to hear several voices that seemed very familiar to her but extremely distant.After a moment, she slowly withdrew her eyes from the thick fog that separated the upper and lower city areas. She looked at the statue of the succubus with downcast eyes on the city gate, and her lips moved slightly as she said:

"I am back."

Chapter 71 Sophia

Unlike most other clans and even parties that live in the upper city, the area occupied by the New Party members in Enoch is between the upper and lower classes of the city.

At the same time, this is also the boundary line that separates the two urban areas. Compared with the lower layer with loose defense and the upper layer with no need to defend, the patrol range of the Knights of the Guards and the City Defense Army is also mainly concentrated in this area.

Therefore, as the leader of the new party, the residence of Duncan Coleridge, who is the acting commander of the Knights of the Guards, is here.

After the meeting, Duncan returned to his residence, which was a two-story building with a style that tended to be in the lower city.He wasn't used to living in the castle-style buildings often favored by high-ranking filthy vampires. Compared to the former, the style of Enoch's lower class that tended to be similar to that of humans from the old era was more to Duncan's liking.

Passing through the doorway, two bloody maids who stopped their work and saluted him, he threw his heavy body into a solid and plain metal chair.

Generally speaking, those who can serve as personal maids for high-ranking figures in a certain party should at least come from a middle-level family in a certain clan, but the time for the new party to be established as a new power is too short.If there are really dirty blood girls who are willing to contact these smelly wilderness pariahs at this time, most of them will also be spies and spies from various clans.

The cold and creamy touch spread from the back of the head to the scalp, and the moderate force made Duncan's fatigue and headache gradually relieved, and he became relaxed.

It would be only one person who would appear in Duncan's mansion at such a time, and who did not carry malice.

"Sophia."

Duncan's voice slowed down unconsciously.

The woman named Sophia has beautiful, smooth brown hair, and she wears mature and coquettish makeup on her face, which makes the girl a few years older than she looks.

In fact, this woman who often appears next to the leader of the new party is not just a vase that relies on her beauty and youth to cling to the strong.Anyone who has a little understanding of the New Party will know that if Duncan is the sword that sweeps the New Party, then Sophia is the brain center of the New Party.

"Enoch still has a lot of things I don't know, and I need your help."

Duncan grabbed the little hand that was massaging his temple, and didn't open his eyes.

"Don't worry, you're tired, wait until you have something to eat and then tell me everything about today."

A few simple but rarely clean dishes were brought up. Different from Nod's style, they were light in color and did not seem to use common blood as a condiment.Though a blood pariah from birth, Duncan didn't like blood pickles any more than he never liked Nod.

Duncan carefully ate all the food, dipping the last bit of soup on the plate with Isaiah bread, which also came from the habit in the wilds of Nod, where no one would disrespect food.He said nothing over lunch, for the same reason as the former.

During this process, Sophia just sat on the opposite side of the small wooden table with her face in her hands, also keeping silent.

After taking a black square towel to wipe the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, Duncan began to recount the content of today's meeting and the information that Allen had mentioned to himself before.

"That's probably the case. Who is that Abigail Cain, and what about the candidate for the queen that Alan Zimisi said?"

Although Sophia's time in Enoch was not even as long as Duncan's, but he took it for granted that the former must know more history than himself.

After hearing the news of Nils' definite death and the fact that "Abigail Cain" was the one who killed him, Duncan noticed a cold killing intent flashed in the girl's eyes.

This is not something to be surprised at, Duncan is very aware of the previous relationship between Sophia and Niels.Although he didn't want to admit it, to be honest, the girl probably loved Niels more than he did.

The killing intent was quickly hidden in the depths of Sophia's eyes, and she replied:

"Abigail Cain, this name first appeared in the inheritance ceremony 11 years ago."

"Inheritance ceremony?"

Duncan asked suspiciously.He is now the leader of the Knights of the Guards. As one of the few people in the new party who can enter the parliament, he can be said to be a big man no matter where he is placed, but this is the first time his name has appeared in his ears.

"What kind of ceremony is that?"

"The inheritance ceremony is very rare even in Enoch. According to the records I know, it only happened once 11 years ago in the past [-] years, so it's not surprising that you don't know about it."

Sophia shook her head,

"That is the ceremony used to determine the heir to the throne when the blood that satisfies the conditions is born. During that ceremony, Abigail of the Toledo clan and... her younger brother Nils, Named Cain by Her Majesty the Queen."

"Two high-ranking filthy bloods who could inherit the throne appeared in the Toledo clan at the same time. They are called pure-blooded twins...During that period of time, the momentum of the secret party completely overwhelmed all the remaining nobles. "

Duncan couldn't help frowning, this kind of statement was something he had never imagined,

"But if that's the case, why is this Abigail in the material world, and Harrington Assamite still calls her a traitor?"

Sophia continued.

"This can be said to be one of Enoch's secrets."

"That was ten years ago. Abigail Cain, who was supposed to have finished the first meal in the Eucharist and succeeded as the head of the Abram family - after completing the ceremony, stole the Nadas di Holy things, and fled from Enoch."

"It is said that it was because she lost control during the communion service and killed her close maid and playmate."

There is nothing surprising about this kind of thing. Most of the dirty blood will kill the livestock that have been raised for a long time during the first communion. In order to completely awaken their nature as dirty blood, some nobles will even specially raise their offspring before that Abram of Toledo is one of them.

Although he scoffed at this tradition, Duncan himself also collected and killed several humans during the sacrament ceremony. Indeed, many people would feel uncomfortable and even resisted a little.But without exception, everyone finally accepted this result.In contrast, this Abigail's resistance was indeed too intense.

Duncan was silent for a moment, as if remembering something, he asked in surprise:

"Wait, how old was Abigail then? You said she had just gone through Holy Communion and eaten for the first time, so she was still just a child, right?"

"You mean a child who steals a holy relic under the nose of the SS, escapes from the city of Enoch, and then crosses the entire wilderness and reaches the material world? How did she do it?"

Rarely, Sophia opened her mouth, but failed to give a corresponding explanation.

Chapter 72 Royal City

"No one knows how she did it... Ten years ago, the Enoch Council was outraged by this, and His Majesty and the clan chiefs mobilized their private army and even the queen's personal guards from the royal city to form an army. An army composed of five thousand filthy blood—none of them are low-ranking blood, at least they are low-ranking filthy blood with a clan."

Sophia said slowly, although this was not a scene she had seen with her own eyes, the words in the dossier contained suffocating power, an absolute elite composed of five thousand dirty blood, this is an army capable of The power to crush all mob strongholds and alien monsters in the wilderness.

Duncan was equally shocked by the number.In his opinion, if that record was true, it would be almost impossible for Enoch to form an army of the same quality now.What's more, although the nobles in the upper city have always liked exaggerated and flashy art, these dirty bloods are damn rigorous when it comes to recording history.Even if they are expressed in vague poetry or secret words, the information is absolutely true in a certain sense.

In Sophia's impression, the rare event in the history of Enoch in the records ended hastily.

In the next ten years, there were sporadic hunters who left Nod's search records, but they hardly got many valuable clues—until Nils took control of the Abram family by means of thunder and joined the hunt. so far.

After drinking some water to moisten her throat, she began to answer Duncan's second question.

"As for the next queen - all the kings of Enoch will be given the surname of 'Cain' before inheriting the throne. In other words, anyone who is given a name because of their bloodline will belong to the next throne. Candidate."

Duncan asked a little puzzled,

"But what Abigail did ten years ago is almost equivalent to betraying the whole of Nod. Even so, she can still retain her qualification to inherit the throne?"

Sophia sighed, with an indescribable emotion in her tone.

"It's natural that you would think so... Because neither you nor I are nobles. The only reason for being named 'Cain' is the power of blood. Even the queen has no right to abolish her name. Especially It was after Niels died - now she is the only Cain left among the nobles."

"The Queen's meaning has been very clear. As long as Abigail returns to Enoch alive, it will no longer matter what she has done before."

After listening to these, Duncan probably understood the performance of each representative in the last meeting.

He stood up from the angle steel chair and straightened his clothes.

It will not be long before the time for the embassy to enter the city.As the acting commander of the royal guard knights, he must be present, not to mention that this is also the best opportunity to get in touch with the envoys before everyone else.

Before he was about to leave, he turned around, lowered his head, and sucked Sophia's lips.The latter struggled slightly, but did not have enough strength to break away from the steely embrace. Her eyes gradually blurred. This embrace mixed with repressed desires and complex emotions made her feel at ease.

After Sophia's breathing gradually became short, Duncan suddenly raised his head. Unexpectedly, the man's eyes were not fiery but a little sad.

"Sophia...you're going to kill her now, right?"

"How is that possible? I can't even be considered a median bloodline. How could I possibly be able to deal with a Cain?"

As if intending to make him feel more at ease, the girl rested her head on the man's thick chest.

"You don't have to do it yourself, I'm not that easy to cheat."

Duncan frowned.

"You should know the significance of the wizard's envoy's visit this time. The future interests of the New Party and Enoch are the most important thing. If you must kill her, I can do it for you after leaving this ghostly place."

"Also—that fellow Allen has already started to pay attention to you. You really didn't interfere in the matter in the wilderness this time, did you?"

Sophia pushed Duncan away, she pulled up her somewhat messy hair, and all her charming looks were restrained in an instant.

"Everything I did was for you and us people from the wilderness. This time I did nothing. I was already busy dealing with the Holy Blood Party and those old immortal nobles in the city."

Duncan Coleridge nodded,

"I'll deal with Alan, but you have to promise me not to touch that woman named Abigail."

"I promise you."

After receiving a positive reply, he strode out of the mansion with peace of mind.

Compared to Erenzimisi who relied on intuition and impulse to act, he was still more willing to trust Sophia. In other words, he didn't even realize that Duncan had become quite dependent on her without knowing it.

The brown-haired girl waved her hand, then stopped.After waiting until the door closed, she rubbed the corners of her eyes tiredly and said to herself:

"You, aren't you still as easy to deceive as before?"

And the two maids who started to get busy were sane and turned a deaf ear to this, treating themselves as deaf from birth.

-

After passing through the outer wall, there is the lower city divided by spider web-like bridges, suspended stone artificial pools, and gray mist.

Most of the buildings here are rows of small black buildings with the same height and similar styles.Hyde had heard Fetili mention the purpose of this place, but unlike the harsh environment he imagined, this place could even be described as clean and tidy. At first glance, it looked like a small town residence in Scotland like Gramis. Somewhat similar.

After the envoys arrived, the streets and alleys on both sides of the main road were crowded with the residents of Enoch. Almost all of them were human beings. At least Hyde didn't find dirty blood or untouchables among them.Unlike the wilderness, most of the human beings here maintain the same appearance as the material world, and do not grow more or less various alienated tissues like the wilderness.

"Don't be fooled by what you see, Mr. Hyde."

Fittili sat beside him at some point,
