A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

While talking, Leila picked up Charlotte, pulled out a pistol and pointed it at D.

"Stop meddling in other people's business, our task is to bring her back... Since you can't do it, leave it to us!"

But D who was standing there didn't seem to have heard her warning, but gradually stretched his hand towards the handle of the knife behind him.

The two girls hadn't seen it yet, but he noticed... an abnormal shadow was protruding from the top of the pillar next to where they were standing.

Before he could make any movements, several vines quickly stretched out from the shadow, tied Leila's neck, and lifted her up; a man's figure flashed on the other side, catching the falling side Charlotte, glanced at D's side, and jumped towards the carriage with all her strength.

It was the two of the barbarian trio who came.

Layla, who was lifted into the air, barely struggled to fire a shot. The high-frequency vibrating air bomb was like a hot knife cutting butter, and with a swish, it wiped away the stone on which the green woman stood, leaving a perfect cylindrical cutting trace.

The woman who was eager to escape had to let go of Leila, and threw her into the pool below, knocking her back on the stone steps below the water surface, almost dying of breath.

Before the woman could make any further movements, D had already drawn his knife and stepped lightly on the surface of the water, his pure black figure suddenly approaching.

His knife was so fast that it seemed to have no shape, and the brilliance lingered in his raised hands. In just one breath, he forced the woman to have no way to escape, and was almost cut off by him.

But the woman naturally has other ways, I saw a weird smile on her face, her body stepped back, her whole body seemed to melt, and "penetrated" into the stone pillar.When the vampire hunter's knife followed her like a shadow again and cut the pillar into four sections, how could she be found?

D could only stand in the pool water, lowered his eyes, trying to lock the enemy's position with other senses.

Leila, who was knocked almost unconscious, got up from the pool beside her, coughed up the water in her nose, and called out to him: "That woman can transform her body into other 'materials'! Our car was destroyed by her before. Turned into metal, melted into the chassis..."

At this moment, D suddenly pulled back the hand holding the knife, and then swung the long knife back with the strength of his waist rotation.

The tip of the knife splashed a splash of water under his feet, and the arc-shaped light of the knife flashed from bottom to top, cutting a human body made of water that appeared behind him at some point in two.

The two parts of the body suddenly lost their support, and were cut open by the blade, turning into a large group of water droplets, which poured on D's hat brim and cloak.

Still not right!

These few barbarians are really difficult to deal with, no matter how you cut them, you can't feel the exact feeling of killing them.

Out of the corner of his eye, D has already seen an almost imperceptible bulge fleeing upward from the stone steps at the bottom of the water to the ground beside him, but when he tried to move again, he felt that the blood in his whole body began to stagnate, and his heart Under the influence of the sense of crisis, he began to beat faster, but the muscles of his limbs gradually lost control, and he knelt down in the pool with a plop.

The parasitic monster in his body felt this most directly, and his left hand immediately asked: "Hey, D! Are you suffering from sunshine disease?"

He is a mixed race, and half of the blood flowing on his body is noble.

Although he would not die in the face of light, staying in the sunlight for too long finally made him lose his strength.

"Hahaha, the famous vampire hunter D, turns out to be just a poor wretch..."

On the bank of the pool a few meters away from him, the woman reappeared.

Her body seemed to be carved out of gray-white stone, and when she grinned at D, her arm slowly turned into a thick and long stone thorn.

The woman walked up to the vampire hunter, only to see that he exerted all his strength, waved his left hand, and threw out an object whose shape he couldn't see clearly.

Her eyes followed the thing, but she saw Leila who was kneeling on one knee on the other side picked it up, then raised her hand and pulled the trigger here.

It was a strange rifle. The gunpowder was not fired, but the metal projectile was obviously fired, which directly hit the stone statue of the woman in the eye, passed through her brain, and completely lifted the upper part of her head.

The woman's triumphant expression froze on her face, and her stone-like body fell back directly into the water.

"How many things did you put in my mouth, D." The left hand complained, but his voice quickly became anxious: "Hey, D, cheer up, if you don't bury it in the soil quickly, you will really die of!"

D didn't hear...he had fallen in the pool.

Chapter 26 The Rain and the Cross

When he woke up again, D found that he was not dead.

He was buried from the neck down in the ground under the thick roots of a certain giant tree. The blood of the nobles was absorbing strength from the earth and repairing his body; Looking at the roots of the tree, looking at the rain line outside the range covered by the branches and leaves.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder was rolling, and it was raining heavily.

The carriage and passengers were no longer in this area, only the stone sculpture with half of its head lying in the pool under the hillside.

He turned his head with difficulty, and the pain in his body that hadn't disappeared made him moan in a low voice.

Layla turned her head when she heard the voice, and met his eyes.

"Don't get me wrong...it's just paying back your favor last time," she said.

When she was injured before, not only did the mixed-race vampire hunter not suck her blood, but he also helped her bandage the wound and waited until she woke up before setting off... Even if it was out of courtesy, I should give him the same treatment.

Definitely not out of sympathy for him... definitely not.

Leila's mother was killed by the nobles. Those nobles are lower and more disgusting than beasts, because they are wise, and they are devils who know that they are doing "evil" and take it as fun.

After the mother was taken away, the father chased after his mother, trying to rescue his wife, but was easily killed.The mother returned to the village a month later, but she was no longer human... The villagers caught her and nailed her to the coffin with wooden stakes.

The poor woman died in front of Leila with a horrific scream.

Recalling this point, Leila remembered that the D in front of her was also of mixed race.

Buried in the ground, he just said plainly: "Do you want to become a hunter because you hate nobles?"

"Aren't you?" Leila asked back, "You are a mixed race, so your mother should have the same fate as mine. These pains, these things that a child will never forget, are not all brought by nobles. ?"

"I don't have any hatred for any of them. It's just that I happen to be a hunter, so I will help the weak." D replied.

Hearing this, Leila took off her radio communicator with a wry smile, and said with emotion: "That's great. If my father met you and hired you back then, maybe there would be nothing later.

"Speaking of which, if Miss Charlotte hadn't been brought back by you and me, her future fate should be the same as your mother's. How pitiful she is for being deluded, but you hesitated just now and didn't do anything. why?"

"If Mayer Link wants to transform her, then we are too late now." D stretched out his left hand from the soil, the old man's face was buried and his eyes and mouth were tightly closed. Already asleep.

"But he will bite her sooner or later. Don't you know how powerful the bloodthirsty instinct is?" Leila said again.

Lightning flashed across the sky, and thunder sounded, and her face was covered with a layer of silvery white in the light, causing D to inadvertently see her dejected expression.

Meyer Link, the rebel of the nobles, is said to have never shown Bloodfang on humans.But... even if he doesn't want to prey on humans, it doesn't mean that he will never bite Charlotte.

Supposing that girl was sick, old, dying, and begged him to grant her eternal life so that the two could be together forever—what would he do then?

Sometimes Layla hates nobles for that.They have ruled the land for thousands of years, enjoying the material life brought about by the pinnacle of magic and technology, but they will never die... Why is human life so difficult?Why do you have to do your best just to survive?

But D shook his head at this moment, and replied with a firm voice: "He cherishes that girl very much, that's why they are going to Seyit City."

That city, outside the reach of all human and noble aristocracy, is a true remnant of the "Golden Age".

Maybe they will hide there and never come back... The reason why D is so persistent in completing this task is not all because of the 2000 million.

Freed Meyer and Charlotte would, of course, have a child, and that child would be, like him, a born cursed hybrid.The fate of this child will be even more tragic. Even if he does not become a hunter, he will not be accepted by the nobles, because his father is an outlier.

I don't know how many years have passed such days, and I deeply know what it's like.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that it will not stop for a while.Two hunters who were hostile to each other lived together in such a small space. I really don't know why fate made such a coincidental arrangement.

"Whatever..." Leila said again, "Anyway, I just want to get revenge on those nobles and enjoy the pleasure of hunting them. It's not up to me to take care of the affairs between the two of them, and I don't have any opinion on it." .”

"Too obsessed with hunting, even if you are human, you will eventually become no different from the hated nobles." D came back to his senses and commented on this.

Leila smiled: "But this is the meaning of my existence. Maybe I will be like this in my life... If you think I am very pitiful, you can offer a flower to my grave after I die. Anyway, you love me so much Mind your own business!"

She really doesn't care about anything but hunting.In order to stay in the Marcos Brothers, she even had to accept some nasty things... After a long time, she was about to get used to this way of decompression.

Always active on the edge of human civilization, catching bloodthirsty demons in the dark, as the days go by, everyone in the Brotherhood becomes extremely numb.Death, hatred, sensual pleasures, only by relying on these can we barely survive without losing ourselves in pain.

Only in the past few days, she seemed to be alive, and she was willing to tell some things to another person... even that person was the noble blood she hated the most.

Without any burden or responsibility, under this tree root isolated from the world by the downpour, she let go of her obsessions and smiled at D: "How about it, do you want to make an appointment? Which of us will live longer, We have to lay flowers in front of the tomb of the one who died first. In this way, no matter what kind of lonely ending we end up in, we know that there is at least one person in the world who is willing to do this kind of thing for us.”

"Yes." D lying in the soil replied.

"I'm just joking, don't be so serious, woo." Leila couldn't stand the overly sincere atmosphere immediately, and hurriedly changed the subject: "The gun you threw to me is not bad, it's a magnetic pusher, and it's rare that it's so light .Where did you get it?"

"...the tavern."

"Why do taverns have weapons of this level... If the nobles or those warlords find out, I'm afraid you won't have a place to drink in the future."

As Leila spoke, she grabbed the Storm Pulse Rifle beside her and caressed the cold barrel.

"Hey, how about giving it to me?"

On the other side of the cloud, in a repair shop in a small town.

Originally, Xue Li's plan was to settle the matter here and meet D again. If he still needed to help those people, he would stay for a while, and if he didn't need them, he would leave immediately.

But Jacob, who came with him, seemed to have suddenly awakened to something, and was muttering to Father Burke of the repair shop. The two of them didn't know what they were discussing.

Kate, who came together, also stood by and watched helplessly, and didn't stop his father... It was the first time since his mother's death that he showed such a focused and motivated expression, no matter what it was, let this man Let's finish it for now.

It wasn't until the patter of rain started outside that Amelia, who stayed outside, also walked into this not too big repair shop, Xue Li, who was a little bored, raised his head: "How is it?"

"That sheriff seems to be okay, and he doesn't intend to take revenge. The one who was the most agitated went to the hotel to spend money to find Liuying...he missed his foot and broke his bone. He probably didn't have time to make trouble recently."

Amelia shrugged and answered with a mocking smile on her lips.

Unlike Selene, a "death walker" who likes to use force to solve all problems, she has many ways to deal with the end.

"Liu...is there still such a profession in this world?"

Kate, who was ignorant of the world, couldn't help asking.

Amelia just raised her eyes and glanced at her without speaking.

Jacob over there seemed to have finally explained everything, turned to Boss Xue and said, "Sorry, Xue, let's go."

Several people packed their bags and planned to bid farewell to this small town. Xue Li couldn't help asking curiously: "What are you two doing researching?"

Jacob didn't mean to hide anything, and replied: "I want Burke to help me build a silver cross and find a car. Boss Xue, we can find some photocopiers, projectors, Speakers or something?"

Hearing these requests, Xue Li had an ominous premonition, and couldn't help asking tentatively: "Could it be that you want to..."

"Ah, after solving the problems of our own world, I plan to come here to preach."

Jacob nodded without hesitation, "I know that this place is dangerous, and I also know that the people here may not be the same as the human beings in my impression... But the more this is the case, the more I believe that there must be God's will to convey here."

"It's not that I want to criticize your belief..." Xue Li swallowed the words when he said this.

Even he knew that he couldn't ask "what if there is no god in this world" in front of this man.

But if you think about it carefully, since the cross is still effective against vampires, it should mean that at least God still exists, right?

Kate on the side was about to cry, Jacob quickly turned to her, hugged her in his arms and comforted her: "Kate, Kate! You are a big girl, this journey means the most to me , that is, I discovered that you can make decisions independently, and you can survive well even without me. Moreover, missionary work is just my work... If Boss Xue allows it, I will still return home after get off work. Think about it, how many people are lucky enough to work in the job of their dreams? This is a kind of luck.”

Of course Kate also knows this. While she is worried about her father being in danger, she can fully understand his decision and is very pleased that this man has regained her faith.

"I'm fine, Dad...I'll keep an eye on Scott."

"Didn't you say that I won't stay here for a long time... However, if you can help me take care of that clever ghost, that would be great."

Jacob stroked his daughter's hair lovingly and smiled at her.

Chapter 27 Immortal Love

The rain stopped.

Leila, who had put on the radio again, got on the carriage and was chasing after the carriage in the direction it left.

After ignition, the locomotive continued to push its own status in front of her through various dashboards and electronically synthesized sounds in the radio, allowing her to have a basic understanding of the current driving status of the car.

"Nuclear fuel filling 90.00% 90.00, engine output is normal. Automatic stabilizer is normal. Shield penetrating damage, slight degree. Driving voltage output, [-]% [-]. Weapon condition, normal."

The sound of the machine just fell, and when the car picked up speed and chased down the road, the signal for the team to communicate also sounded.

Her face remained unchanged, and she connected to the signal from the chariot.

[100. No. 100]

What came over the radio was the voice of the elder brother Pokov.

"Layla, Layla! Where are you?"

"I was blocked by the barbarians, and I fell behind." Leila replied, and took a special look at the electronic positioning system in front of her: "It's about [-] kilometers away from you, big brother."

"Hurry up, Leila. The carriage is about to pass the bridge... If they reach Seyit, no one will be able to catch up to it. The sun is going to set, we can only do it first, hurry up superior!"

"what."

Listening to the answer from the radio, Bokov, who was big and bearded, knew that he couldn't count on Layla.A distance of more than [-] kilometers is not too far, but it will take at least ten minutes...

The black carriage will not give them more than ten minutes, nor will the sun that is about to sink in the west.

After hanging up the communication, Pokov turned his head suspiciously and asked his little red-haired brother: "Is there any dissatisfaction with Layla? She always acts alone recently."

"How come, we all love her so much." Kyle replied with a smile, and then became serious again. Now it's time to do business, not to talk about that.

Pokov just asked casually, looked twice in the binoculars, and immediately made a decision: "They must not be allowed to reach Seyit. We will drive a chariot across the mountains and forests to go in front of them. This bridge Still long enough to blow up the bridge with a bomb before they reach the end!"

"Okay bro, I like bombs the most. Hehe..." Kyle smiled viciously.
