Elrod woke up when the person in his arms gently lifted the quilt from his body. He opened his eyes and saw Gu Sui Nuan preparing to get up and get out of bed.

The sky outside the window was only dimly lit, and it was not yet fully light. Elrod reached out and grabbed Gu Suinuan's wrist, wondering why she got up so early?

"Good morning."

Her wrist was grabbed, and Gu Sui Nuan turned around and greeted.

"Happy birthday, Elrod."

She leaned closer to Elrod, lifted the mask slightly, and kissed Elrod on the cheek.

Before Elrod could express his doubts, Gu Suinuan said that she had to go out for something and would be back later.

She seemed to notice Elrod's unhappiness and explained seriously that this was the last time she would leave for something.

Seeing that Gu Sui Nuan had not forgotten to put on the sapphire necklace on the table before leaving, Elrod just looked at her quietly and told her to come back early.

After Gu Sui Nuan left, Elrod suddenly couldn't sleep. He simply got up early and went to the study.

Elrod came to the clothes rack, raised his hand and touched the wedding dress in front of him, carefully examining every stitch and thread, imagining what Gu Sui Nuan would look like wearing it.

As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Today he would be able to see Sui Sui's true appearance and see her wearing a red wedding dress.

His gods must be the most beautiful.

His years will never leave him again.

Thinking of this, Elrod was in a very good mood and didn't even care about the Knights coming to disturb him.

Duke Campbell led a number of knights and stated his purpose. The vampire who killed members of the Pekka family and Herman was preparing to attack the church today.

They came this time to ambush in secret and capture the vampire.

Elrod saw Ian in the knight team at a glance. Gu Suinuan had let them fend for themselves, but he didn't expect that this man would stay in Huangdu and refuse to leave.

"Okay, then the security of the cathedral today will be left to the Knights."

Elrod verbally agreed to their request, but he did not let the people in the church cooperate with the Knights. Instead, he prayed for the people in the church as usual and distributed medicine for free.

This was Elrod's first Bathing God Festival in the imperial capital. Many commoners came to seek his blessing, and the church was almost packed.

Duke Campbell was in a dilemma and repeatedly hinted to Elrod that with so many civilians present, they might be injured accidentally if a fight really broke out.

"Isn't this something the Knights should worry about? What does it have to do with me?" Elrod looked calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

Duke Campbell was stunned for a moment, then he realized that it was not that Elrod didn't know, but that he didn't care about the lives of those civilians at all.

Seeing that persuading Elrod was useless, Duke Campbell had no choice but to leave and ordered the Knights to hide under the narrow bench and be on standby at any time.

The prayers continued until a girl in a black robe and veil came to Elrod. Before she came close, Elrod realized that she was not there to pray, but to have bad intentions.

Sure enough, the next second the girl suddenly raised her head, revealed the dagger in her sleeve, and stabbed at Elrod.

As she raised her head, her black hair and brown eyes were revealed, and Elrod recognized her at a glance. She was the vampire.

Magic power gathered in his hands, and Elrod didn't care that there were civilians all around him, and swung his magic power towards the girl.

As the crowd fled in all directions, Elrod saw that the girl was unable to dodge, so he raised his hand and used magic power to block it, taking the magic attack alone.

The veil on her face fell off due to the impact, revealing her oriental face. Seeing that she was spitting blood, she must have been seriously injured.

Elrod's gaze did not linger on her for too long. When he saw Ian and the others appear, he teleported away from the scene.

Since the prayer ceremony was disrupted, he should be able to go back to the house earlier and wait for Suisui to come back, right?

It was a pity that she failed to kill the vampire with one blow. She had wanted to attack Gu Sui Nuan before.

But the vampire has been seriously injured, and he should be able to be dealt with with the help of those knights.

Elrod was thinking, but before he had taken a few steps, the current leader of the church hurriedly caught up to him, and it was clear from his expression that nothing good was going to happen.

"Lord Elrod."

In the church today, the bishop still has the highest power on paper, but in reality, everyone in the church and the duke and royal family know that the church must listen to Elrod, even the bishop.

Elrod didn't stop walking, didn't even glance at the bishop.

"Lord Elrod, that Oriental man...that vampire, must not be captured by the Knights!"

The bishop was not annoyed and continued to chase Elrod.

"It is said that the deceased Herman was originally a vampire, but was transformed into a normal person by the girl. The magic power of the girl is extraordinary. If the church catches her, we can drain her magic power and use it to transform all vampires back to normal people."

"If there are no vampires in the world, and the Knights have lost their role, then the Church can take over all the power, and from now on we don't have to worry about being attacked by vampires anymore!"

"Look, if you can capture that girl and cast a spell to eliminate the vampire, you will be the savior of the country!"

The bishop continued to persuade him patiently. It’s not that he hadn’t tried to attack the vampire before, but the vampire was indeed very powerful and a large number of the knights fell.

He had no choice but to ask Elrod for help.

Elrod stopped suddenly.

He was not persuaded by the bishop, but discovered that the vampire who was besieged by the Knights had escaped and was blocking Elrod.

A complex magic circle lit up beneath their feet, pushing the bishop out. Even the church members who tried to protect Elrod were isolated by the formation.

The girl conjured up a long sword and pointed it at Elrod, looking as if she would not stop until Elrod was killed.

Elrod frowned, very unhappy that someone stopped him from going back to the house early. He also took out the silver sword and decided to kill the vampire in front of him with his own hands.

Elrod's swordsmanship was taught by Gu Sui Nuan. It was different from the swordsmanship of the Western Knights. This swordsmanship was more flexible.

Cooperating with the time magic, Elrod swung his sword and tried to chop off the vampire's head, but she reacted quickly, and the sharp blade scratched the skin of her neck, cutting a little but not cutting her throat.

After several confrontations, the thing on Elrod's body used to detect magic weapons lit up, indicating that this vampire definitely had a magic weapon.

Soon, Elrod confirmed the location of the vampire's magic weapon by tracking it with the magic weapon on her body, and used his sword to hook up the magic weapon hidden at her waist.

Elrod wanted to reach out and catch the magic weapon, but the vampire who was originally being beaten by him suddenly exploded and used his magic power to blast the magic weapon into ashes.

What was she doing, destroying the artifact rather than letting Elrod get it?

Elrod was puzzled. Could it be that the magic weapon was so powerful that it could not fall into his hands?
