"Allen," Welch called out to Allen from afar.
Allen didn't make any move, he just stared blankly at the Saint Yarrow orchid. His mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say a word.
“…” Welch signaled the troops behind him to stop, then dismounted and approached Allen alone.
He looked at the small white flower in Allen's hand and comforted her, "The Lord will accept her to heaven."
We will meet again in heaven sooner or later.
The flower in Allen's hand was blown away by the wind. He stared coldly at the white flower that had been blown away, wanting to say something, but then stopped himself.
He turned around and looked in the direction of Ximen, saying, "The aura is there."
"Welch, take all the Templars and pursue them, kill them all."
Welch placed his hand on his chest in respect.
Allen's hand brushed across the coffin, his eyes filled with utter confusion...
Welch had already led his men to give chase, and upon hearing the sound of hooves, Allen suddenly awoke!
"I think...I know you..."
"I think...I...like...you..."
"Who...are you?"
...
Location: Oga Forest
"Evacuate everyone."
"Brothers from the Assassin's Guild, let's go first!"
"Take care to protect the important personnel inside the carriage."
The hunting grounds surrounding the forest had been cleared by the royal cavalry of the Saijing royal family, and the group was now retreating under the cover of night.
"Where is the reconnaissance team?"
"On our way to Stromgarde."
The snow was still falling, but compared to the blizzard of the previous days, the snow was gentler now.
Inside the carriage, Yagenan was examining the map and gesturing the way back.
Elsie gazed out the window, snowflakes falling into her palm and melting into water...
"..." Yagenan looked at Elsie, silently took off his mask, revealing his aged face.
He reached out and tentatively touched Elsie's head. She turned around and looked at the old man with whom she shared some blood ties.
“Elshi,” Jacoban smiled and said, “The road ahead is still long, don’t worry, Grandpa is here.”
"It's just a bit of a pity." Jacoban sighed as he looked at the route on the map: "The casualties in this battle far exceeded our budget."
After a brief silence, Elsie touched her frozen toes before Agnon tentatively asked, "You, are you Elsie?"
Oh dear, that's a strange question. You've been suspected after all!
Elsie glanced sideways at Jacoban: "No."
【？】
[You just admitted it!]
"Haha... Sorry, I shouldn't have made that joke." Yagenan rubbed Elsie's head and laughed, "The blood bond between you and me can't be faked."
"But, Elsie, you're only one year old, aren't you?"
They've grown up too fast after all...
Elsie did not deny Jacoban's words; she nodded and corrected him, "Almost two years old."
Yagenan maintained his smile: "Vampire infants grow very quickly, both physically and mentally. This is a gift left by our ancestors, to help us survive better in this cruel world."
"but……"
Suddenly, a murderous intent swept over us!
Suddenly, Yagenan thrust his dagger at Elsie! The red light in his eyes also emanated a terrifying aura!
"bass--"
Elsie stared calmly at the dagger, without making any movement, not even raising an eyebrow.
The air shield in front of them had precisely intercepted the direction of the dagger's thrust.
To be honest, that was a truly shocking move.
One second Ya Ge Nan was all smiles and laughter, the next he could be filled with murderous intent, even she was astonished by his transformation.
Before he could make any other move, Yagenan had already withdrawn his killing intent, and his suspicions seemed to have been confirmed.
“I have seen human mages achieve the skill of instantaneous magic,” Jacoban said, stroking the thin air shield. “This is a unique human creation.”
"But even Xinglan, who is recognized as the strongest in the Magic Association today, cannot do such a fast and precise instantaneous spell."
"Child...is this truly your talent?"
Elsie hesitated for three seconds...
【no. 】
"no."
"You can't let this go unless you kill the conversation, right?"
“I’ll assume this is your secret for now.” Jacoban gave up asking further: “I’m glad you were able to come back and see your mother one last time.”
"You are the biggest gain from this trip."
"Now, can you answer one small question I have?"
Elsie stared at him, showing no sign of refusing.
"What's the story with that paladin?" Yagnan still couldn't forget Keomi, who fought against Elsie back then.
The intensity of their battle made him feel like he had wasted the last few centuries of his life.
“Kaomi, the Lord of the Black Crown, is coming for me.” Elsie didn’t want to say too much; she didn’t think Jacoban could offer her any help.
“Is that so?” Yagenan examined his hidden blade, his eyes flashing with a fierce light: “Then that’s the family’s enemy.”
"After you return to your ancestral home, your clansmen will not let you suffer any more grievances."
Elsie nodded. She had no impression of that ancestral land, only that it was a place repeatedly mentioned by all the people of Shia.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out outside, and a large number of soldiers screamed.
"Enemy attack!"
"The Holy Sword Sect is catching up!"
"It's the Templar cavalry! Cut them down!"
The royal cavalry of the Saijing Kingdom seemed to be engaged in battle with something, and the crisp sound of clashing weapons could be heard from behind.
Yagenan poked his head out, his face grim: "It's the Holy Sword Sect's army."
"They're like a persistent ghost! Everyone, stop them!"
"The convoy continues!"
"We're in Stromgarde..."
"!!!"
Yagenan was suddenly shocked as he looked at the light cavalry company that had suddenly appeared to his side, one of whom was emitting a purple light.
Family heirlooms! Four family heirlooms! Top-of-the-line!
"Welch!!!"
The light cavalry quickly blocked the convoy's path. Their charge was swift and powerful, overturning many carriages in a single encounter.
Welch gave a cruel smile, his gaze fixed on the carriage Elsie was riding in, and the longsword in his hand gleamed!
The carriage overturned, and Jacoban seemed to have not anticipated this situation, instantly fainting. Only Elsie was the first to wake up.
Welch's sword was aimed straight at her!
Elsie's air shield was instantly released, but the recovery of her magic power was still insufficient, and the thin air shield shattered instantly when it was hit by the longsword!
"bite!"
A longsword blocked Welch's sword.
Karin led her Blood Riders to attack just in time!
"All team! Assemble and surround!"
Welch was not discouraged by the failure; on the contrary, he became even more excited!
"Charge!"
The longsword twisted and slashed at Kailin, who parried the attack with her own sword, but it seemed to be quite difficult for her.
