Sir Aven I Blood Pact

Hannah and Xander returned safely, and we were shocked by the news they brought back.George has already launched a major purge of Essatan, executing thousands of civilians and hundreds of nobles.And Tom and others desperately rescued more people under George's minions. This has to be said to be a great credit. Although thousands of people were still lost, more people were saved.

"Where are my father and the others hiding?" Ivan asked Hannah.

Zeander said: "We met Pickett, and he told us that the Pope and the others are all in the sanctuary of the dense forest. In addition, Pickett and the others are divided into two teams, one team is saving people in the city, and the other team Rescue people in the noble area. Those who were rescued were sent to hide in the dense forest."

"Then shall we hurry to meet them now?" Peter asked anxiously.

Ivan thought for a while, and said to Zeander and Hannah: "Any more news?"

Hannah said: "Brother Jacob died, and he was killed by Pickett. The Judd family was wiped out by the Pope, and many of the nobles went to the Pope. The civilians in the city did not escape. They are all hiding, and Pickett told us that we have to meet up as soon as possible to discuss the next plan, because Donald will make another move after the big cleanup."

"Okay." Aiwen said at this time, "Let's go meet my father and the others immediately." Just as he was about to go out, Aiwen found that Hannah and Zeander's faces were very ugly, so he asked again: "Do you still find What's the matter?" Zeander and Hannah looked at each other, Hannah's eyes were a little wet, and Zeander said by himself: "Pickett told us that Mike -- he died."

Hearing his words, we were immediately surprised and saddened.I haven't been in touch with Mike for a long time, but I have a deep impression on him, because he always keeps a smile, a little mischievous, a little sunny, and his temperament is very similar to Peter's.However, at this moment, it is not the time to commemorate a person, we have more important things to do, we have left two people behind in the secret passage as planned, and the others from the bridge outside Zoeira Castle. Dive into the drainage hole, we have to sneak into the city through those underground waterways, and then go through the city to the jungle sanctuary.

George suddenly called Jacob, Angus, and Margaret, and said to them, "Tom's sons, Ai Wen and Xiao Jizhe, have returned to Esatan, and you should search quickly, and they must be arrested." Come on, I want to live." He gritted his teeth for the last few words, and there was a hint of evil in his eyes.The news surprised the three of Angus. They didn't know how George received the news, but it was definitely not a good thing for them.

"My lord pope, what about Pickett and those people?" Tate was furious when he thought of his brother being beheaded by Pickett with a sword, but now George asked them to put down those people to catch Ivan and others.

After thinking about it, George said again: "Jacob, you take people to hunt Tom and others in the jungle, and hand over the city to Angus and Margaret." Hearing this, Tate's face suddenly brightened, His eyes are shining, which is a kind of desire for prey.

"Yes!" The three of them got the order and immediately retreated.

After the three came out, Jacob left without saying a word, but Angus stopped Margaret in the aisle. "Isabella," Angus looked at Margaret with a strange look in his eyes, "Why didn't I realize that you were on the side of His Excellency Pope George? You have always been very close to Cragg and the others. Isn’t it? You helped Sals deal with Rodolphe before, why are you now on the side of Pope George?”

Hearing his eccentric words, Margaret suddenly felt that the person in front of her seemed a little strange: "Marquis Angus, I don't know what you mean? I, Luna Isabella Margaret, have always been Only on the side of the great George Donald, great benefactor of my race, don't you think so?"

"Oh, Isabella." Angus smiled and said again, "I am the same as you in this." His tone was so strange that Margaret felt a little terrified, and she held back her own emotions. Temper, continue to listen to Angus. "It's just that when Cragg was the Pope, he entrusted you with many things, and he seemed to have great trust in you." Angus glanced at the depressed scene outside the window, "We haven't caught any of you for many days. Their tracks might be covered up by someone."

"Angus, what do you mean?" Margaret was a little annoyed now, and Angus was clearly provoking trouble.

"What do you mean? You should know it in your heart." Angus did not continue to tease her, left this sentence, and left quickly.Margaret stayed where she was, in a daze, with an embarrassing look on her face.

We walked along the underground waterway all the way in the direction of the dense forest in the dark. We didn't know where we were headed, but we just felt that the passage was twists and turns, and it went up and down from time to time.After walking for more than half an hour, we stopped in a passage. Zeander, who was walking in the front, climbed up a wooden ladder against the wall, stopped at the top, and stretched out his hand to fiddle with it for a while. He bowed his head and said to us: "This is the kitchen of Zack's Tavern, and there is no one there now."

"Zeander, go up and check the situation first." Aiwen said to Zeander, "Be careful."

"Yes." Zeander replied, raised his hand and gently opened the upper passageway, jumped up and climbed up.A few minutes later, Zeander brought a bearded man to the entrance of the passage. Zeander said, "Your Highness! Everyone, please come up. This side is safe."

We heard what he said, and we all climbed up like a file. After climbing up, I realized that the bearded man was Zach, the owner of this Zack tavern.Zach said to us: "The big guys in this city can't stay any longer. This Pope George organized a big purge, and captured and killed those mixed-race and incompetent people. The rest of the people are also human. People are in danger, and everyone dare not walk casually on the street, for fear that Pope George will be unhappy one day, and even our pure-blooded people will suffer.”

Zach paused for a while, and then said: "Thanks to Pope Tom, I heard that he brought people and rescued most of the people before Pope George's came. That day, Sir Pickett Knight I shot and killed Siros, that was really satisfying, I was hiding in the alley, and saw, hey, that movement is too powerful! You really deserve to be a member of the Knights!" His face was very excited, I can It feels like he's highly applauding what Pickett did.

"What's the situation outside now?" Peter asked.

"It seems to be a little quiet today, and Pope George's purge seems to have stopped. But I don't feel good, and I always feel that something is going to happen." Zach looked worried, and the happy expression just now disappeared.

"Since it's temporarily safe outside, let's take advantage of this stall and immediately go to the dense forest sanctuary to join my father and the others." Aiwen said, "It's daytime now, we have to go out with cover, and we can't walk on the road so blatantly."

"I might have a way around that," Zach said.

We were arranged by Zach to hide in two wagons transporting wine barrels, each with a wooden barrel, and these barrels will be sent to another pub in the east of Essatan - Mark's Tavern, which is opened by Zack's younger brother. tavern.The two brothers are pure-blooded vampires, so neither brother was affected by the purge. Both of their taverns are still operating normally, but the business has long since disappeared.We huddled in those wine barrels, and Zach and his buddies drove the carriage and carried their hearts all the way to Mark’s Tavern in the east of the city. This road is not very long, but it seems very long in our time, time As the minutes and seconds passed, our moods were bumped up and down with the carriage.

Suddenly, the carriage was stopped by a scolding.

"Where are you going?" It was a man named Raymond Luali Harrison who asked.

Hearing the sound, Zach immediately jumped out of the carriage, and stepped forward to reply: "Master Harrison! The youngest is Zach, the owner of Zack's Tavern in the south of the city. My younger brother Mark wants me to send him a few barrels of blood wine In the past, me and my buddy were rushing there. He's Mark, the owner of Mark's Tavern on the east side of the city."

"Send wine?" Harrison opened his eyes and looked at the wine barrels on the carriage. "Send two carriages of wine? Your brother's business is so good?" Zach immediately replied after hearing this: "This Isn’t it winter? Blood wine can warm up the body, and many people like to drink it in winter, so the demand is huge.”

Harrison rode on the horse and looked down at Zach and the others. After listening to Zach's words, he thought for a few seconds, then got off the horse, walked to the wine barrel, reached out and knocked on the wine barrel a few times, and heard With the sound of '咚咚咚', Harrison moved the corner of his mouth: "There is really wine." Zach's heart was hanging in the air, his back was bowed, his face was smiling, and his palms were sweating: "Yes, yes, It's blood wine." Harrison looked at him, then turned his head to look at the two carriages, he raised his foot and walked to another wooden barrel, and lifted the lid of the wooden barrel slightly with his hand, looking at it while holding his hand Stretched it in, then closed it again, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, okay, let it go, go, go."

At this moment, Zach's heart gradually fell, and with a smile on his face, he hurriedly drove the carriage away with a thousand thanks.And we in the wooden barrel unconsciously squeezed a cold sweat, but we didn't expect to pass the level so easily, which seemed a little strange to me.However, this strangeness immediately had a turning point that surprised me even more.

When we came to the wine cellar of Mark's Tavern in the east of the city in a 'blatant' carriage, one of us clutched a note tightly with a dazed expression, and said to us word by word: "Harry Lord Viscount Mori lost a note in the barrel where I was staying." We were very surprised, Ivan took the note, opened it up and looked at it, and said: "George already knows that we are back, and we are all over the city. Arrest us." As soon as his words fell, there was a commotion outside, and Zach ran in from the outside, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness Sals! Something happened! Many knights and guards appeared on the street. They House-to-house searches are underway."

"That's right." I reacted, "That Viscount Harrison is probably one of his own, just like Pickett."

"That's why we escaped the search so easily!" Peter also reacted.

"That's right." Jerry also had a happy face, but in a blink of an eye he said worriedly, "But now that there are so many people searching outside, how do we get to the dense forest? Although it's very close to the dense forest, how do we get there?"

"The tavern has a back door, and there is a small alley outside, which leads to a small forest farm outside the dense forest. That forest farm was abandoned a few years ago, and no one has been taking care of it. It should be safe." Zach said.

"How about that alley?" Ivan asked.

Zach said: "The alley is not big, and there are not many people walking around on weekdays. It is the gap between two houses. There are only some sundries. The end is blocked by some low fences."

"Okay, let's leave from there quickly and go to the dense forest." Aiwen decided immediately.

We put on black cloaks, came out from the back door of the tavern, and entered the alley. There were footsteps in our ears. Those sounds gradually approached, and our steps quickened. After climbing over the fence, we ran all the way to the The abandoned small forest farm, when we arrived at the forest farm and looked back, it seemed that no one had discovered it, so we were relieved.

"It's not too late, let's go directly into the dense forest, this is not a place to stay for a long time." Zhao Xian said, his face seemed a little different.

"Okay." Ivan didn't delay, we went straight to the jungle, and Nazak naturally had to go back to the tavern.

After entering the dense forest, I didn't feel that the dense forest was so frightening and frightening when I came to the dense forest before, but now I entered the dense forest again, and my mood was different.The intricate vines and branches in the dense forest appear so confusing in the light, people can't help but sigh the uncanny workmanship of nature, the natural stones, vines, and the naturally formed pattern are all so magical.

When we were discovered by those hidden secret sentries and brought us to the entrance and exit of the sanctuary—the ancient well, I suddenly felt that the journey seemed so safe and smooth, unexpectedly smooth.After we went down to the sanctuary, we finally met Tom and the others. Both of us couldn’t help crying, but this was from a big man, and the tears turned into hugs and handshakes.

We introduced the Zhao brothers and sisters to Tom and others. Tom was also very surprised that another Chinese was involved in Taylor's plan, and he turned out to be the descendant of his Chinese lover girl. "So, the two are still relatives of Mr. Xiao." Tom was very happy. "On behalf of Essatan, I am very grateful for the help of the two of you!"

"My lord pope, this is what we should do." Zhao Xian saluted Tom in awe, "The legacy left by our aunt and grandmother must be followed in our family, and this is also our responsibility as descendants. "

"That's very good." Tom was very happy and said yes again and again.

We sat together for the next time, and we told them what we got, and they told us about the current situation in Essatan. "Mr. Shaw." Tom asked me after I finished my deduction, "You mean that Grove who wrote this book is George?"

"This is just my inference, and there is no real evidence." I said frankly.

"Wait, father, where is Aemon?" Ivan suddenly felt that there seemed to be someone missing from our group of people, "Is he not there?" "Aemon?" Tom also reacted and asked us, "Speaking of which, It would be less of his voice, didn't he come with you? I asked him and Sally to wait for you in the closet where George slept."

We were a little surprised when we heard Tom's words, and Ivan was surprised: "We came in all the way, only Hannah and Zeander saw Pickett, and we didn't see the others."

"What?!" Tom stood up quickly when he heard this, and turned to Pickett with a nervous expression, "Quick, send someone out to investigate immediately!"

"Yes!" Pickett led the people away immediately.

When Pickett and the others returned, it was already sunset, and the news he brought was also very bad.Sure enough, Sessimmon and Sally were captured by George. "How could that Jacob take someone to Fort Zoela?!" Tom was very surprised.Only then did Pickett react, and he looked horrified: "No, this..." We were attracted by his reaction, turned around and looked at him, and Tom looked at him: "What happened then? "

Pickett immediately knelt down to Tom and confessed: "My lord pope! This is all the fault of my subordinates! After my subordinates killed Syros, they were discovered, so they had no choice but to take people to Fort Zoeira. We went up, turned over to the pasture from the other side, and then returned from the pasture. So that Tate must have seen the route we took, and chased us all the way, so, that's why Tate captured His Royal Highness Hadley ! It is the responsibility of the subordinates! Please punish the Pope!"

After listening to his words, everyone understood. Tom took a breath, calmed down, and pulled Pickett up: "No, it can't be all your fault. I let Sally take Seth Imon alone. Zoela Castle is waiting for Ivan and the others, I have not told anyone about this, if you knew, you would definitely not go to Zoela Castle, get up."

"Father, now we have to save Aemon." Ivan said.

"Yeah, Uncle Tom, we have to rescue Emon." Melon also agreed with Ivan's words.

"Not now." When everyone else was echoing Ivan and Mellon, Leonardo said, "I still remember that after George captured Miss Sally last time, he used her to threaten His Royal Highness Sars and Shaw The thing about going to the square, sir? We must not repeat the same mistakes, especially when we are now in a tug of war, and we must not fall into the enemy's trap."

Hearing his remarks, we all thought of this, and everyone fell silent for a while.Tom thought for a while and said, "What Leonardo said is not unreasonable. Since Tate brought Aemon to George, then George will not attack Amon for the time being. We still have time. Come on, let's continue." One-step action plan, we have to speed up, and we must not let George's plan succeed."

After Tom finished speaking, he paused and said to me: "Mr. Xiao, is there evidence for your inference just now?"

I looked at them, thought for a moment, and said, "It's almost conclusive evidence."

Tom and Ivan glanced at each other, and Ivan asked me, "Xiao, do you have a plan?"

I smiled slightly, and nodded: "It is a plan to say it is a plan, and it is not a plan to say it is not a plan." I paused, and then explained: "My lord, just now when you said that Imon went to find out the news, go It is a secret passage, and George does not know about this secret passage. Maybe we can go to the study to find something written by George through this secret passage, and compare the handwriting on this book to see if it is George’s. Handwriting. This is the first step. If it is verified that it is indeed his handwriting, then we will proceed to the next step.”

"What's the next plan?" Peter couldn't help but interjected.

"If George is really playing tricks of fake sleep and real conspiracy, then why does he use the secret channel to communicate with the outside world and Essatan?" I said, picking up the book and the few pages I found before, " The time when this book was written coincides with the time when George fell asleep, and the contents of the papers in the secret room are blood atlases, which has been confirmed by the old professor. In other words, George’s use of fake sleep is actually not at all. It’s blood — what he’s going to study is vampire blood, vampire genes, that’s his goal.”

"But why is he studying vampire genes?" Melon asked, "Isn't he a vampire himself?

I had reservations about Mellon's words, and his words just woke me up, and I suddenly realized: "What if——he is not a vampire himself? Like Sess Eamon, Uncle Jerry, and ……I."

My words cheered up everyone present, and they were instantly shocked.

"This, how is this possible?" Tom and others did not believe this matter very much, and although I was not completely sure in my heart, I also had a bit of intuition that this matter might be true. In fact, after thinking about it, I also I don't know why there was such a certain confidence at that time.

"I can't say that I have full confidence to confirm whether this matter is true, but my next plan may be to find out this matter." I said, "My lord pope, I don't know the last time I told you How about what you said?"

Tom said: "I asked Seth Imon to investigate for several days, and the people who saw George the most were the Marquess of Angus, Earl Margaret and Brother Jacob, and Earl Miller before that, but Miller The count has become insane because of the death of his son, and I have been taken to a safe place."

"So, the person behind the scenes can only be between the Marquis of Angus, the Earl of Margaret and Jacob." I thought for a while and asked Tom, "The families of these three people have always been nobles. ?"

"No." Tom said, "Except for Jacob, the Angus family and the Margaret family belong to the seven major families."

"In that case, Angus and Margaret are the most suspicious." Ivan said.

"Would it be that there are two people behind the scenes who have been helping George hide in Essatan? These two people?" Peter said.At this time, Hannah couldn't sit still, she stood up and clarified for her mother: "This is impossible! My mother would not be such a person! Besides, it is impossible for her to do something to betray Essatan!"

"Hannah." Zeander held Hannah aside, "Calm down, listen to the Pope and the others."

"..." Hannah held back and turned her face away.I looked at her like this, and I felt a little pity. I looked at her, and then said: "In terms of qualifications, these two people are currently walking around in front of George the most. It's nothing to be suspicious." Impossible. It’s just that things need to be based on evidence. If there is no evidence, we can only talk about a hypothesis, not a conclusion.”

"Then I wonder if Mr. Xiao has any way to verify this hypothesis?" Leonardo asked me.

I was about to speak when a person ran in outside and reported to Tom: "My lord! A notice was posted in the city, saying that Pope Tom, His Royal Highness Salz and Mr. Shaw were to be invited to Fort Essomi. Council of Elders, or he will kill His Royal Highness Hadley and Miss Fletcher."

Now, my plan has to be carried out against the clock...
