Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

"No, at least not these days!"

Qingzi raised her hands and made an X shape, looking full of resistance.

Wow, it turns out these days are a special period?

You dare to go out and hunt disciples at such a special time, and you even killed a second-stage corpse ghost. You are really amazing!

Jiang Li secretly complained in his heart.

"Come to think of it, can't we find the leader by patrolling? Didn't you meet Aozaki Touko while on patrol last time?"

Jiang Li asked.

"That's because Orange herself wants to be found by us. She has been aiming at the barrier of the Aozaki family from the beginning. The barrier has a base point. As long as we wait at the base point, we may be able to find the prey."

Aoko sat cross-legged on the sofa, twisting her toes wrapped in black stockings.

"But this time, the enemy is a City Lord-level Dead Apostle. Its goal isn't to create a barrier. Judging by its mass production of dead bodies, it's probably trying to accumulate strength. It won't appear until it has accumulated enough strength!"

The so-called Dead Apostles refer to vampires in the general sense.

Of course, there are essential differences between the vampires in the Type-Moon world and the vampires in other worlds.

The vampires in this world are divided into two categories: True Ancestors and Dead Apostles. There is a huge difference between these two categories and they cannot be discussed in the same way.

Let’s not talk about the True Ancestors for now, after all, they are not the enemy this time. The Dead Apostles are divided into different stages.

Although generally speaking, the Dead Apostles are basically immortal, they must suck human blood in order to maintain their physical bodies. Blood is like the lubricating oil that maintains the life of a machine. Only by constantly sucking blood can the Dead Apostles maintain the function of their own machine.

In the process of sucking blood to maintain their bodies, the Dead Apostles will also inject their own blood into the bodies of humans who serve as prey. In this way, the humans who obtain the blood of the Dead Apostles will not die, but will become the subordinates of the Dead Apostles, and act according to the fate of blood like servants.

These humans who survived by absorbing the blood of the Dead Apostles were originally just ordinary dead.

The dead-wood-like human that Jiang Li had dealt with in Elizabeth's house before was a vampire at this stage. This was the first stage of vampires - the dead.

The dead have no intelligence, their brains have long since decayed, and they are merely corpses controlled by the blood of the Dead Apostles, acting completely according to their orders.

Even so, the dead have powers beyond those of humans, and are no longer something that ordinary people can deal with.

When the dead suck enough blood, they will evolve into the second stage of corpse ghost.

From the dead to the zombie, it is not a huge change. At best, it is still just a corpse, but with greater strength, faster speed, and sharper teeth.

That's all for ordinary vampires.

Rather, 90% of vampires will stagnate at the level of ghouls, and only vampires with powerful soul potential can evolve to the third stage.

Only when it evolves to the third stage of "immortality" will a qualitative change occur.

After a long time, the corpse ghost reconstructs its brain structure, retrieves the brain that houses the spirit, and regains wisdom. At the same time, it will have strong physical recovery ability and initially possess immortality. This is the third stage of immortality.

Only when you reach this stage can you be called a true vampire.

The dead and the ghouls are at best puppets of the Dead Apostles, while the undead are considered the subordinates of the Dead Apostles.

After that, the undead must go through the fourth stage of "Night Attribute", the fifth stage of "Night Demon", and finally complete the evolution to become the sixth stage "City Lord Level" Dead Apostle.

Only after becoming a city lord-level dead apostle can one gain the ability to develop followers.

The ones who invaded Kinoko City this time were the city lord-level Dead Apostles.

As long as he hides in his lair and issues orders, his subordinates will automatically help him collect blood. The more blood accumulates, the stronger his power will be, and he will not need to run around outside.

Thanks to this, if it weren't for a thorough search, it would be impossible to find out the guy's true identity.

Of course, they could also go to Scathach. She possessed a skill called clairvoyance and must have discovered the vampire's hiding place long ago. However, Scathach clearly stated that she would not interfere with the selection process. They needed to work hard on their own for any event, and she was only responsible for training them.

"The good news is that the dead apostle must have just arrived in Kinoko City, so there are no undead around him, only some dead and ghouls. After all, it takes a long time to create the undead, and the casualties caused by the undead will be even greater!"

Qingzi shrugged, trying to find a way to be happy.

"That's bad news."

Youzhu said calmly.

"really."

Jiang Li also nodded in agreement.

If undead beings were born, he would have cast a charm and found the lair of the city lord-level dead apostles, not like now.

Charm has no effect on brainless creatures.

"You really don't know how to find joy in adversity!"

Aoko sighed, then patted her cheeks, stood up and stretched, highlighting her enchanting body curves.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these disappointing things. Tomorrow is the weekend, and I can finally have a day off. I've been running myself crazy these past few days!"

The weekend is a holiday, and Scathach specially allows her to not go to her for training for one day a week.

"By the way, do you have any plans?"

Qingzi turned to look at Jiang Li with an indifferent look.

"Have."

Jiang Li nodded seriously.

"Oh, really..."

Qingzi curled her lips and crumpled the two tickets in her pocket into balls.

Chapter 605: Visiting Daimao’s House Again (33)

2023-06-01

It was getting late, so Jiang Li simply stayed at the Jiuyuan Temple residence.

The two parties had a deep cooperative relationship, and Youzhu readily agreed and found him a guest room on the second floor of the East Building.

Pay double the rent.

the next morning.

After breakfast, Jiang Li left the Jiuyuan Temple residence without stopping.

Aozaki Aoko was wearing home clothes and looked at the direction where Jiang Li was leaving with a suspicious look on her face.

"That guy's training intensity is several times higher than mine. Weekends are supposed to be a rare time for rest, but he keeps disappearing. What on earth is he doing?"

And she also wasted the aquarium tickets she had prepared!

Just thinking about it makes me angry!

"Do you care?"

Youzhu was holding a teacup in her hand and looked over when she saw this.

Although her eyes barely showed any movement, Qingzi could read interest in them.

"I'm just curious, not really concerned."

Qingzi lifted her long hair and said nonchalantly.

"That's it."

Youzhu took a sip of red tea and suddenly spoke.

"I know where he went."

"really?"

Aoko exclaimed subconsciously.

Seeing Yuzu's teasing look, Aoko scratched her cheek awkwardly.

"You've really changed a lot."

Youzhu recalled the scene when they first met and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

When Qingzi first inherited the magic, she was in a very bad mood, because the magic itself was suddenly given to her, which completely disrupted her future life.

When the two met for the first time, they fought each other directly and it was almost a fight to the death.

But now, she has accepted her magic calmly and even wants to try to master it.

"It's all because of him."

Youzhu looked at her calmly.

Because he suddenly broke into her life with unstoppable force, her mentality changed. Call it growth or meddling, the two of them were already connected by a bad fate.

Aoko scratched her cheek, a faint blush appearing on her face, and she kept smiling awkwardly.

"If that's the case, hasn't Yuzu changed a lot? Before, you absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to enter this mansion!"

“That’s just for funding.”

Youzhu was calm and indifferent.

Qingzi had nothing to say.

In comparison, Youzhu simply relaxed her restrictions, but she was changed so much that she no longer looked like herself.

Youzhu took a sip of red tea and glanced at her sideways again.

"If you really care, why don't you just ask him yourself?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Qingzi was so shocked that she waved her hands repeatedly.

"Wouldn't that be like telling him that I care about him? Absolutely not!"

"..."

Youzhu remained silent.

She couldn't understand how someone could be so stupid.

Normally he is a dashing guy who does everything with great vigor and determination, but when it comes to love he immediately becomes hesitant.

I don’t understand, does being in love really lower one’s IQ?

To be honest, she felt that even if Qingzi didn't say it, Jiang Li already knew what Qingzi thought of him, but just didn't point it out, perhaps because he had some concerns.

"Let's not talk about this. Do you know where he went?"

Aoko waved her hands shyly, then asked curiously.

"Did you follow him with a familiar, or did you tamper with his magic item?"

"I didn't do anything, and that guy didn't hide anything."

Youzhu put down the teacup.

"He became a teacher."

"Teacher? I'm surprised that guy actually has this side to him?"

Qingzi was very surprised.

"After all, that family only has female members, and they are all very beautiful."

Youzhu calmly drank a cup of black tea.

"...Yuzu, what did you just say?"

Qingzi's eyes widened and her face gradually twisted.

…………

After coming down the mountain road, passing through high-end residential areas and shopping streets, you will enter the west side of the city, which is more prosperous than the east side.

Jiang Li arrived in front of a building with ease. The security guard at the gate just glanced at him and let him in.

After entering the building, we took the elevator directly to the top floor, the 20th floor, where the entire floor was the residence of the Pendragon family.

"Ding dong!"

"coming!"

After ringing the doorbell, someone opened the door soon.
