"Your descendants also died in the demon worship incident this time? Why didn't the church report it?" Katrina asked in slight surprise.
Vampires are as "evil" as magicians, and the church can make him the culprit of the incident.
Viscount Karenaldia shook the wine glass in his hand: "He is a descendant of my previous trip to the Shahran Empire, and he is an outstanding nobleman, so after being confirmed by the church as a vampire from the corpse, the nobles put pressure on the church to hide this matter, so as not to damage the image of the nobles.
"So that's the case, did you find any clues, Mr. Viscount?" Katrina nodded slightly, dispelling the doubts in her heart, and asked expectantly, hoping that the vampire viscount who also found the cemetery could have more clues.
Viscount Karenaldia leaned lazily on the tree trunk, without the slightest appearance of a vampire: "Although I can sense the death of a descendant from a distance, I can't confirm which descendant, so by the time I gather the information and rush over, most of the valuable clues will be gone, maybe not as much information as you investigated."
"Have you examined the knight's body? What sealed his bloodline power by something?" Katrina asked questions while using magic to open the tomb, but did not give up the most basic guards.
"I'm really good at identifying all kinds of traces on corpses." Viscount Karenaldia looked like Katrina had asked the right person, and then shook his head slightly, "But there must be a corpse for me to check."
Katrina was stunned for a moment: "You mean there are no bodies in the tomb?"
The tomb opened, and the coffin slowly floated out under the power of magic, and then, the black lid turned to the side, revealing the inside of the coffin, which contained only a few pieces of noble clothing and an urn.
"We can think that there is something wrong with this corpse, how can the people who organize demon worship gatherings not think of it? According to the information I inquired, although the nobles suppressed this matter, the dual identities of vampires and demon worshippers made them afraid to be careless, so they were 'purified by flames' first and then buried." Viscount Karen Ardia was bathed in the light of the silver moon, and his face appeared slightly light and dark.
Vampire and demon worshiper dual identity? This knight seems to be a descendant of Viscount Karun Erdia...... Katrina thought to herself.
"I have investigated his family and found nothing suspicious, he usually has close contacts with people in the aristocratic circle, under the protection of the Sky Knight and the Cardinal, it is not realistic for us to investigate one by one, it is better to sneak into the court to find the church's investigation records." Viscount Karen Ardia smiled bitterly.
This is very similar to my "plan", Katrina scolded, "I can apply to the council for the assistance of high-level magicians."
You can ask your father or something to help, they should be powerful vampires at the level of counts and dukes.
"This is my descendant, and before there is real danger, I, as the 'parent', must personally investigate the murderer." Viscount Karen Erdia is rare to be serious.
Patriarch...... Looking at Viscount Karenaldia's young and handsome face and dazzling beautiful blonde hair, Katrina suddenly felt a sense of absurdity, these races with long lives are really sighing, like high-level magicians who have extended their lives and maintained their youth, if nothing else, they can see the grandchildren of their grandchildren...... This is unimaginable for her in her twenties.
"During this time, I started by investigating the magician who died here and looking for people he had come into contact with, but except for some of the transactions, someone saw him, and when he usually took risks and did things, no one had seen him, and I didn't know who he was acting with. Viscount Karenerdia asked the purpose of his appearance.
Although she has Heidi's latest research results by her side, Kalkat City, as the third largest city in the northern province, has many people who are equal to or better than herself, and there are also several Sky Knights and Cardinals, so she is more sure to find a helper, so she told Viscount Karenerdia the key points of the information she got from Yakov.
"Sir Duda, he is also among the nobles that my descendants often associate with, and it seems that he is indeed quite suspicious." When Viscount Karenerdia said this, he was as if he was reciting a poem, the laziness on his face was swept away, and his golden eyes shone brightly.
Most importantly, this Sir Duda often appears mysterious and is himself the object of suspicion of Viscount Karenerdia.
"So far, most of the clues have been broken, but the only two or three are pointing to Sir Duda, perhaps, we should find an opportunity to 'visit' him, Katrina, do you want to be together?" Viscount Karenaldia looked familiar and affectionately called Katrina's name.
Katrina said with a light smile: "I originally wanted to invite you, Mr. Viscount, to join me, but Sir Duda has been living in the villa in the aristocratic area during this time, which is very close to Count Calcutt's mansion and the villa of the Sky Knight, so we may have to wait for another opportunity."
"He will always go out of town." Viscount Karenardia drank a little red wine in one gulp, waved his right hand, and the black cloak behind his back unfolded, like a pair of bat wings, "When the time comes, I will invite you."
He seemed to melt into the darkness and continued to climb, leaving behind a slight laughter and humorous words: "He has a big man behind him, don't we have it, maybe bigger and more perverted, hehe......"
"It's more perverted......" Katrina repeated subconsciously, then looked left and right, patted her chest, "I almost followed him to describe the teacher as a pervert, but fortunately the teacher is not here......"
Time passed quickly, and in Yakov's worried and expectant mood, he accepted the knight's edict and became Sir Yakov, and got a manor outside the city and a territory on the wasteland.
"Sister Katrina, are you really not going to follow us?" Anna looked teary and was very reluctant to part with this sister-like friend - her mother passed away when she was a child, and she lacked the care of older women.
Yakov coughed and stammered slightly: "Actually, in fact, you have to find a place to live in Katrina, and it costs money to stay in a hotel."
Katrina smiled and shook her head: "In the past few days, I have found a few partners who have ventured into the underground of the wasteland together, so I will act with them. Thank you very much for your kindness, and when this adventure is over, I will visit you at the manor."
At that time, it should be an official farewell.
"Sister Katrina, have you found a new companion? Why don't I know?" Anna asked suspiciously.
"You've been busy these days, how do you know?" Katrina and Leilia are both patient and thoughtful, so they shine in the study of material properties.
"Actually, with your conditions, Sister Katrina, there is no need to take risks to obtain wealth, more people want to give it to you." Anna said half-jokingly.
Katrina smiled and rubbed her long blonde hair: "Although this is very easy, it is not what I want, only what I really master is my own, and I will be able to take it steadily and go further."
She casually used the attitude of arcane research to politely reject the hint in Anna's words.
"Sister Katrina, you speak so profoundly...... Anna curled her lips.
You haven't seen anything truly esoteric yet...... Katrina thought of the Evans field equation, Lucian's equation, and the various strange properties of microscopic particles, and she was quite emotional for a while. This is the most cutting-edge field of arcane, but it is estimated that there is no arcanist who truly understands them, and even the teacher said that he is often in trouble, saying that if anyone is not confused and confused by the microscopic field and quantum mechanics, then who has not studied them carefully.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that there was a deep gap between herself and Anna and other friends, and she could not integrate into their lives, and they could not understand everything she had studied.
After sending Yakov, Anna and others away, Katrina packed up her things, left her hotel room, and blended into the crowd on the street.
As she walked, Katrina tugged at her blonde hair, her eyes drooped down, covering her turquoise eyes, and then hurriedly turned around the city of Kalkate, constantly shuttling through the streets and alleys.
Just as she was trying to cross an uninhabited alley, a strong man with muscular knots, a rough face, and blue-gray hair suddenly appeared in front of her, and he smiled and said: "You are very sensitive, but it's not enough to get rid of us!
He twitched his nose, looking like a pervert: "The scent on your body betrayed you."
At this time, a strong man followed behind Katrina, blocking her reflexive escape: "Madam, are you trying to tempt us by choosing this deserted street?"
"Why are you following me?" Katrina's voice trembled slightly.
"Who told you to hang out with them......" The strong man in front of him suddenly stopped halfway through, and then smiled: "Do it, we still have extra time to get close to this beautiful lady."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Katrina raise her head, a pair of turquoise eyes like the clearest lake in the forest, swaying, swaying, and addictive.
The strong man behind him grabbed Katrina's neck, and suddenly, his cheeks hurt, his teeth flew off, and his whole body crashed against the wall.
He looked at his companion who attacked him in astonishment: "You?"
A light green light flashed, and his eyes also lost their brilliance, and he stood there in a daze.
At some point, a blonde man in a black shirt and a red jacket leaned against the corner of the wall, and he smiled and said, "Sometimes, magic is really trouble-free."
"Mr. Viscount, I didn't expect to meet you again." Katrina saluted politely.
"No, I'm here specifically for you, because Sir Duda is out of town to his manor." Viscount Karenaldia walked towards Katrina.
When he passed by the strong man, he suddenly twitched his nose and said with a slight disgust: "Dirty smell, the two of them are savage werewolves, damn it, they are also involved in this matter?"
"Werewolf." Katrina looked at the two strong men with gray hair and used magic to identify them.
…………
The night was deep.
Yakov suddenly woke up from the nightmare, only to find himself exhausted, and he looked around in astonishment and saw Anna and other mercenaries who were also locked up in the cell.
"This ......" He remembered that the previous fight was not a nightmare, but a real thing, but he couldn't compete with the big knight, so he was knocked unconscious.
"Boss......" Anna's voice sounded with a crying voice, she didn't understand why she and others who had escaped from the dangerous mercenary life would be attacked in the Jazz Manor, or a group of enemies who could not resist! Just thinking about it made her shudder, very scared.
Will this die this time?
Yakov took a deep breath, the knight's will suppressed his panic, and he comforted his companion: "Don't worry, since they didn't kill us directly, it means that we are still useful and have a chance."
"Hey, not killing you guys is because rituals require living people." A dark voice sounded outside the cell.
Yaakov's eyes froze, his pupils contracted: "Sir Duda!"
