Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Becky spoke the truth.

"Do you know a vampire named 'Arman'?"

"do not know."

"And Clarence?"

Becky's eyes lit up.

"Yes, I know him! I met him once. He was sent by the organization, so I have a deep impression of him..."

Elsa finally smiled, a smile that sent chills down Becky's spine.

"Really? What a coincidence! But he's dead too, and I killed him too—it seems like you and I are really destined to be together."

Becky's tears fell suddenly.

Scared.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Elsa.

"Then the matter is clear."

"Ah? Wait... Lady Aisha! Please let me go... I really mean no harm! I was just passing by... I didn't know those monsters would attack you, and I really don't want to hurt anyone else..."

Elsa stood up slowly, which frightened Becky so much that she trembled. She thought Elsa was going to kill her, so she begged for mercy with tears and snot.

"Because it was unintentional, you are exonerating yourself?"

"No... no... I..."

Aisha glanced at her and ignored her. Instead, she looked at Tricia: "Tricia, I'm going to Dammas. Can I leave her to you for a while?"

"of course."

Elsa turned and left the room.

She was going to Dammas to bring a witness, and the so-called witness was naturally one of the vampires who attacked the fortress: Alman.

Now the clues have gradually been strung together. It is obvious that there has always been a mysterious person among vampires such as Becky and Alman. That person is probably not the "member of the blood clan organization" as Becky guessed, but the real mastermind behind the scenes - he controls the black dead branches and uses them to provoke crises. No matter the black monster crisis and the emergence of the Sky Island ruins, or the resurrection of the undead demon general, they are inseparable from the promotion of this mysterious person.

Now the only two people who have seen the mysterious man are Becky and Alman.

So if you want to find that mysterious person, you must start with them.

186. I Really Want to Risk My Life (3K)

After Alman was captured, he was put in magical shackles.

This thing not only restricted his control over magic, but also made his blood flow seem to slow down and pool in his veins. From time to time, he would feel pain in his heart, which was really uncomfortable. In this situation, even if he was a vampire, he couldn't cause any trouble.

Over the past few days, he could feel the magic power in his body rapidly draining away, but due to the restrictions of the shackles, it was unable to recover, and his body became weaker and weaker.

Since the death of the Undead General Tobias, Alman has been unable to sleep or eat peacefully every day.

He said he “couldn’t sleep or eat”, but actually there was no “food” at all.

The people here would not prepare blood for him to drink, not even sheep's blood. At most, if he was lucky, he could find a black rat as skinny as him in the cell. For the first time, Alman knew that the taste of rat blood was a bit like that of a certain gray rabbit living in the eastern territory of the northern country. Other vampires hated this taste, but Alman felt that as long as it could fill his empty stomach, it didn't matter so much.

Today, Alman lay in the cell as usual, staring blankly at the blackened wall.

Although this cell was dirty, smelly, damp and hot, and was like hell compared to the North Country, it was considered "magnificent" compared to other vampires - because other vampires were imprisoned in the open air and were scorched to death by the sun every day.

You have to understand that their magic power is now blocked, and they are extremely weak. The feeling of being scorched by the midday sun is probably not much different from standing barefoot on a red-hot iron plate. Moreover, while Alman was repeatedly interrogated and questioned, the vampires were brutally tortured.

Every day when Alman passed by the place where the vampires were imprisoned, he would receive a lot of vicious gazes.

The reason started a few days ago - unlike Alman, those vampires were more courageous. Either they were tortured to the point of unbearable pain, or they came to their senses after being frightened by Elsa, so they actually wanted to try to escape from prison.

But Alman scoffed at this.

ridiculous.

In a heavily guarded prison, encased in numerous magical arrays, a group of vampires, their magical powers sealed, attempted to escape? The outcome was obvious: failure. Furthermore, their escape would undoubtedly ignite the wrath of the humans, ultimately achieving nothing more than further venting their anger on them.

Anyway, vampires have thick skin and flesh, and those humans will show no mercy when they attack them.

In the end, the only ones who could be unlucky are them, as well as Alman who was implicated.

So, under the astonished gazes of the vampires, Alman, the former leader, decisively exposed them without hesitation. What a joke! The opportunity to surrender was right before his eyes. If he didn't quickly demonstrate his stance and sincerity, would he have to wait for punishment with these fools? With this choice between two options, who would make the wrong choice?

At this moment, there was a teeth-grinding sound of an iron door being pushed open at the end of the cell, followed by heavy and rhythmic footsteps.

Alman knew that today's routine interrogation was about to begin.

He quickly sat up straight and saw two men dressed as knights appear with keys - what surprised Alman was that usually only jailers were sent here, but today it was Knight Commander Pollock Budd himself who appeared here.

"Meet Lord Budd."

Yarman greeted him quickly and respectfully, but Bud just glanced at him without saying anything.

After removing the magical lock, the knight opened the door with the key.

"Arman, come out."

The knight ordered.

"Walk."

Alman came to Bud respectfully. Bud just glanced at him, grabbed him and pushed him forward. Under Bud's big hands covered with calluses, Alman had no way to resist. His shoulders were pinched so hard that they hurt, but he could only endure the pain and dared not show any dissatisfaction.

Alman had long been aware of his position as a lower-ranking person, with no other options. Just look at those unwilling and unconvinced vampires and you'll know what the consequences of disobeying these humans are.

In any case, Alman had long known that he would never be able to return to the organization. Firstly, after being captured, he gave up a lot of information in order to save his life. Secondly, his clone should have taken over his wealth at this stage and developed self-awareness. He would never be willing to be controlled by him again. Instead, he would use his identity advantages and resources to devour him. Precisely because it was his clone, he knew that he would definitely make such a choice.

No matter what the reasons were, he would die if he went back, so he might as well go all out and work for the humans here, which would give him a chance to survive - so Alman didn't feel any guilt at all when he betrayed those vampires.

As long as he could gain the trust of the humans here and get the chance to remove his shackles, he could find a way to escape - Alman had already thought of it. He could pretend to surrender first and use the humans to get rid of the organization. This way, he could ensure that a major threat to himself would disappear. When the humans concentrated on eliminating those guys in the organization, he could take the opportunity to escape.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

With a plan in mind, Alman was pushed out of the underground prison, but this time he was not taken to a closed room as usual, but directly to the hall of the castle - here, he saw Lord Shibern.

There is also a nightmarish figure - Aisha Faris.

Elsa Faris? The woman who had vanquished the demon general Tobias, the source of all nightmares, the destroyer of all plans, the sage's secret weapon—it had been so long since that incident, so why was she here again?

For a moment, Alman's face turned blue.

"Hey, Mr. Armand."

Elsa smiled and greeted him proactively, but her tone sounded particularly cold to Alman.

"I heard that you betrayed your people and exposed their escape plan - well, well done."

Alman smiled timidly, his heart almost stopping when he looked at Elsa's golden gaze.

He was scared.

But then, Elsa changed the subject.

"Mr. Budd said that you've been performing very well recently. Not only have you cooperated with the Knights' investigation and interrogation, but you've also provided many valuable clues. To some extent, you've made a contribution. However, this contribution is nothing compared to the lives lost because of you."

Alman was already very afraid of Elsa, and Elsa's words made Alman feel even colder in his heart, and his already haggard face turned even paler.

"You also know why we kept you alive."

"Yes, yes... I'm willing to cooperate with whatever it is... I just want to stay alive..."

Alman quickly lowered his posture and said.

Elsa smiled.

"Don't be so nervous. I'm just saying this so you understand what you should and shouldn't do. I'll get straight to the point. I've recently found some clues about a mysterious person, and I need your help digging deeper. This is the perfect opportunity for you to redeem yourself for your crimes. If you can do it, I can let you go... oh no, I can ask them to relax their restrictions on you a little. Are you willing to accept that?"

Elsa deliberately changed her words at the end, which was a disguised hint to Alman - as long as Elsa wanted, she could deal with Alman as she pleased, including letting him go directly.

Of course, on the other hand, Elsa could easily execute him.

This is both a threat and an inducement.

And Alman naturally heard it clearly.

"I am willing! But...I don't know what you need me to do?"

Of course he was willing. Alman had been waiting for this sentence for a long time - he just wanted to gain the trust of humans, destroy the organization and the leader, and then escape.

"Your original organization is in the North Country, right? Go find them. I want to meet with your leader."

Yarman was delighted. This was exactly what he wanted! He should destroy the organization first to avoid any more trouble.

But he was a little embarrassed: "But... I have tried many times, but still can't contact them. It must be that my clone did something, and if the leader finds out that our operation has failed, he will definitely evacuate the others."

Speaking of this leader, he is also a mysterious guy. Even Alman has never seen his true appearance, and he never knows the leader's true plan. In Alman's view, the leader should also be a variable.

Elsa didn't care.

"Don't worry about that. I've found a helper for you—I don't know if you still remember 'Becky'."

"'Becky'..."

Alman muttered the name and nodded. His throat felt dry; the pressure of talking to Elsa was too great.

"I haven't seen her, but I've heard the chief mention her."

"She works for me now—I want you and Becky to work together to find the location of your organization and the 'mysterious man' you mentioned."

"Ah? Are you going to the North Country?"

"Yes, isn't that your hometown? Don't you want to go back?"

"No, no..."

Although Alman didn't show anything on the surface, he was actually very happy in his heart.

It seems that Elsa Faris has set her sights on that mysterious man.

But it didn't matter. This mission would surely take him out of this hellhole and into the Northern Kingdom. Once he left the Empire's territory, he could do whatever he wanted. Of course, he wouldn't go back on his word. At least he would cooperate with the humans to destroy the organization and find the leader and kill him.

Alman was laughing in his heart. He even imagined that after he escaped, he should find a way to take over everything left after the organization's demise. That would be a considerable fortune.

But what Aisha said next made Alman dumbfounded.

"Then it's settled. You should prepare yourself now and follow me later."

"As you please?—Huh? Wait, sir, you, you're going too?"

"if not?"

Alman was stunned and his face suddenly turned bitter.

Are you kidding me? This shouldn't be the case. Why would someone as powerful as Elsa Faris personally take action on something like this? Isn't she a Saint Sister? She should go to the Holy City! Why go to the North Country? Doesn't this person have more important things to do? Is she so free?

——How is he supposed to run with Aisha around?

Since I can't run away, then... it's bad! Am I really going to work for this person?

……

187. Even when... (4K)

Alman once again experienced the feeling of flying high in the sky.

This experience was much better than the last time when Elsa carried him around. Last time, Elsa took very long steps in every step from the Dammas Fortress to the underground palace of the tomb. Every time, he felt as if all the bones in his body were shattered and his internal organs seemed to be displaced.

If he hadn't been a vampire, he would probably have died by then.

This time, he saw Elsa running across the ice out of thin air one moment, and the next, he was stunned by the sudden burst of speed. When he woke up, he was in a small town. The experience was truly exhilarating. It was over in the blink of an eye, fast and easy. Although waking up was still painful, I felt like dying.

Even the vampires can't stand such torture!

"Are you okay? I'd be really troubled if you died so easily."

Elsa seemed to care about him, but when he saw Elsa's ambiguous look, he knew he was overthinking it.

It's hard to believe that Aisha didn't do this to him on purpose.

"It's okay..."
