Princess' personal painter

The appearance of the carriage is magnificent, with patches of relief patterns, and the decoration is extremely luxurious.However, the strange thing is that on the outer wall of the carriage, there is a large area of ​​dazzling bright red, as if the blood of a living person has coagulated on it, even if it is driving all the way in the heavy rain, the rain cannot wash it away.

At the same time, this is a driverless carriage.

The speed of the carriage was extremely fast, and within a few seconds, the carriage drove up to the two of them, and they saw clearly the dull eyes of the horse, as if they had lost their souls.

Then, the carriage passed by the two of them, and the two of them were covered in splashed muddy water.

"Then, what is that..."

asked the young guard tremblingly.

The old guard looked out of the city gate, and he clearly saw a large red mist attacking in an instant. The extremely ominous premonition made him immediately make the right choice: "Run! Let's run!"

However, this time his intuition and experience did not allow him to escape.

After pulling the young guard a few steps, he heard a strange laughter from behind, and then, both of them were picked up by something by the neck, and the strong suffocation made them go I can't even make a cry for help——

"How long has it been since we had a fresh taste?"

"It's only been three days. Your addiction must be too big... Can this kind of stuff be eaten?"

"Her Majesty the Queen traveled in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to bring the believers. Hehe, I finally saw a living person. Let's fill up our stomachs first, and then we'll look for virgins at night..."

"Then you have to deal with it quickly, I really can't get interested in these two inferior bastards... I'll wait for you in front, don't delay too long."

After a while, as if waiting for another "person" to go away, this gloomy voice cursed: "... Bah, why are you pretending to be expensive!"

"Ah, this torrential rain that blocked the sun is really an excellent seasoning!"

Then, a burst of "cluck, rattle" sounded like the sound of bones breaking, and entered the hearing of the young guard.He turned his head blankly in extreme fear, and his vision was instantly soaked in a large swath of bright red.He faintly felt a wave of heat coming from his lower body, and then lost consciousness...

No one noticed that at the gate of the city where people come and go on weekdays, a terrible blood feast was taking place under the cover of the majestic rain.

"Heh, it really is an inferior human being, and he is incontinent, it's really disgusting..."

Contemptuously glanced at the fainting human being on the ground. He had just preyed on a human "creature" and was about to walk towards the center of the city... However, an arrow suddenly shot out of the rain, and it was dangerously close. He was still stained with blood before wiping his nose.

"who is it!"

"Gordo the watcher, the girl who is the key, the rainbow bridge at the end of the frozen ocean..."

The cold voice uttered a series of incomprehensible words, and then a figure in black robe slowly walked out from the rain curtain, holding a silver composite bow in his hand.Then, the person who came raised his head, and softly uttered words like an ultimatum from that cold face: "Tell me about this information, or die."

When he saw the face of the other party, he couldn't help laughing: "Human beings who are the bait of my race are not qualified to bargain with me. How about this, you try to please me when I suck blood , maybe I can develop you into a beloved family member..."

Speaking of this, his pupils dilated rapidly.

The bat wings on the back suddenly opened, sharp claws stretched out from the fingertips, and the blood all over his body was on the verge of boiling... However, it was still a step too late.

He, who has always been domineering and cold-blooded, paid the price for his carelessness.

That sharp silver light suddenly struck at a very close distance, pierced the palm he was trying to block, and pierced deeply into his heart.

Weapons made of sterling silver are already extremely restrained against creatures like vampires.When the black-robed girl drew out her weapon, the opponent fell to the ground as expected.

Then, without even looking at the corpse on the ground, her figure disappeared into the rainstorm again.

Chapter 23 Fighting the King of Assassins Again

In the damp and cold Kiridy, the torrential rain never stops.

On the dome of a dilapidated church, a girl in a black robe sat there quietly, repeatedly wiping the blood stains on the composite bow blade with a handkerchief.

The beautiful strand of blond hair under the brim of the hat has already been completely soaked by the rain.And her gaze was examining the city dormant under the mist, as if searching for something.

She maintained the mechanical movements of her hands, and she didn't know how long it had been like this.

The rainstorm still has no tendency to stop, and as time goes by, the sky becomes darker and darker, and the city under the feet is almost shrouded in haze, becoming more and more lifeless.However, not long after, a crimson blood mist rose suddenly somewhere in the northwest of the city.

A certain powerful and terrifying aura suddenly came from that direction.

Is it the companion of the vampire just now?

Thinking about this question, the girl sat there motionless, and had no intention of going over to find out.On the contrary, she turned her gaze to another direction, narrowed her eyes, and expanded her perception to the limit, clearly waiting for something to appear.

The half of the urban area under her feet suddenly became a holographic image in her mind. She "saw" someone running out of the building and rushing towards the direction where the blood mist rose. I also "saw" some other rats who smelled danger, and made gestures of preparing to flee.

She also "saw" several familiar figures appearing in the direction of the Mercenary Association, caught in a battle with unknown shadows on the street, and there was a sudden danger.

But even so, she still had no intention of making a move.

If you want to catch a specific "prey", the most important quality is patience.

Thus, as time passed, the blood mist in the northwest of the city gradually expanded, and became more gloomy and dense.Despite the long distance and the thick rain curtain, she didn't know exactly what happened there, but she clearly caught the faint smell of blood wafting in the wind.

Is it really the rumored blood queen?

After waiting for a while, she hesitated for a while, thinking whether to go over and find out.But in the end, she calmed down and focused her energy on another nearby building.

The torrential rain made the air more and more bleak and cold.

In every direction, the city showed signs of unrest.

When she finally caught the familiar fluctuation in the air under her feet, a sharp light flashed in her eyes.At the same time, she jumped up high and jumped straight to the locked position.

The brim of the hat was suddenly blown by a strong wind, and the dazzling blond hair spread out for a moment.

The movement of the hand never stopped, and several arrows were shot almost in the blink of an eye.

The looming figure in the dormant torrential rain obviously didn't expect someone to launch an attack at this time, and after a little stunned, he made a dodge movement, and after almost avoiding the arrow by a slight margin, he turned around , retreating towards the direction of the alley.

But he saw an agile figure descending from the sky, aiming at his escape route, the silver sharp blade cut through the rain curtain and slashed down rapidly.

boom!

Unable to avoid it, he had no choice but to take the heavy blow abruptly, and his short body used inertia to move and retreat on the wall. After a long distance, he saw the figure that appeared in front of him clearly. After being slightly stunned, He said in a hoarse voice: "It turned out to be you... I didn't even look for you, but you came here yourself, little girl!"

"Take me to your employer, or die!"

While speaking, Gina pulled the bowstring in her hand again, and firmly locked the position of the dwarf in front of her.There was a certain determination in her eyes.

The "King of Assassins" in the northern border, a dwarf whose cruel actions made children cry at night, laughed strangely and said chilling words: "Hehehe, wait for me to cut off the meridians of your limbs and cut your meridian Make it into dried meat and send it over, and you will naturally meet my employer..."

What responded to him was a galloping arrow.

I saw the dwarf's body disappearing suddenly, and then ripples rippled on the wall next to him, and the cold breath that blinked his eyes was already close to him.

Murder suddenly appeared!

Gina didn't move until the scary claws were about to hit her face.

There was no panic in her eyes, while she moved sideways and narrowly avoided the claws, the bow blade in her hand suddenly swept towards the dwarf.

The girl's swift reaction was beyond the dwarf's expectation.

After the blow failed, he only heard him say "Hey", and quickly withdrew his moves. His short body was twisted into an unbelievable angle, and he moved on the wall to another direction, and then from a strange angle, he shot at Gina again. The standing position came directly.

A cold light flashed in Gina's eyes.

Facing the attacking claws, Ji Na suddenly erupted with a strong fighting spirit, advancing instead of retreating, the silver bow blade went straight to meet the cold claws.

Apparently frightened by the girl's aura, it was the dwarf who backed away for a long distance amidst the continuous sound of metal collisions.Naturally, Gina was unrelenting when she gained momentum, taking advantage of the victory to pursue, her figure was as vigorous as a cheetah pouncing on her prey, and in just a few moves, glaring blood sprayed from the silver blade.

"No, it's impossible..."

Tens of meters away, the dwarf held his injured arm and looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief: "This reaction speed... Could it be that you were hiding your strength in the last battle?"

"It was you who misestimated my strength from the beginning."

After saying something lightly, the silver blade in Gina's hand pointed directly at the dwarf: "Say it again, take me to see your employer, or die..."

The dwarf was silent for a moment, then let out an odd laugh.

"Hehehe, hehehehe... In this land, no one who dares to threaten the King of Assassins can live until now, and you are no exception... It just so happens that today is the night of the full moon..."

After the words fell, the dwarf made a strange howling sound that was clearly not human.

Then, as if it were an illusion, his body began to grow in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, his facial features were distorted into a beast, and mane grew on his body...

"Enough!" came the cold voice suddenly.

But I saw a woman with red hair and purple pupils, wearing armor and holding a long sword for casting demons, walking over from the side.She glanced at Gina coldly, and then said lightly: "She is not the target of the mission, don't make any more troubles... It is not suitable to stay in the city for a long time, let's evacuate here..."

While the woman was speaking, the "monster" in front of Gina stared at her with those red pupils, the cold and resentful eyes made people feel cold all over for a moment.

The aura of the approaching person was also very strong, and Ji Na clenched her weapon tightly for a moment, finally resisting the urge to strike first.Gina stood where she was, watching helplessly as she and the "King of Assassins" who had turned into a werewolf disappeared from sight under the urging of the woman.

Damn it, if only my strength was stronger...

In the torrential rain, Gina bit her lip a little bit hard, recalling the emblem engraved on that woman's armor that she had glimpsed just now.The emblem looks familiar, I vaguely remember where I saw it...

It seems to be... the emblem of the royal family of Anluer?

Chapter 24 Prelude to Ice and Fire

In the cold as ice rain, Gina stood there for a long time.

She looked at the direction where the "dwarf" and the woman in armor left, thought for a while, and then suddenly remembered something.With a slightly calm expression, he got up and chased after him.

On the way, she saw that many people had already sensed the danger and left the house, trying to escape the city before the red mist spread.I saw many men, women and children, rich or poor, running on the muddy road in panic, regardless of the endless pouring rain.

The closer she got to the range covered by the red mist, the more Gina could sense a terrifying aura in her perception, which was rapidly expanding the covered area.

It's like a big mouth that devours people, swallowing the souls of everyone in this city.

And the increasingly strong smell of blood in her nose made Gina's head feel dizzy, and suddenly many long-term memories flashed in her mind - she was in the middle of the army formation, surrounded by roaring Scary orcs; in an instant, these orcs turned into demons from purgatory. They wielded long whips and sharp blades to harvest human life. After chopping it down, even his soul was split in half at that moment... Then he found himself standing between the dark streets, and the blood moon above his head was shining with soul-stirring light.

That touch of delicate and charming bright red rapidly magnified in the pupils.

Gina stood there in a daze for a moment, tears streaming down her face involuntarily, and then she remembered a certain initial painful moment, in a certain frozen cave, she heard the murmuring voice coming from her own mouth.

"Erica... why don't you kill me too."

"Anyway, I'm not from this world. If this is a dream, it's almost time to wake up from the dream..."

Fate, reincarnation... Repeat the mistakes you made again and again.

Is this... a memory of when?

When he came back to his senses, he found that he had come to the range covered by the blood tide, and a strange picture appeared in front of his vision - like endless sea snakes raging in the sky, swallowing purple ice flames, and On the other side are thousands of red bats that have transformed into thousands, and are resisting the impact of sea snakes under the command of a beautiful and tall woman.

The sky is divided into two areas of ice blue and red.

Gina saw a blond girl who was very similar to her figure, with a stern smile on her mouth, and when she raised her slender hand, endless snake shadows rushed out of her hand, accompanied by the violent wind and rain and the flying wind behind her. The tsunami instantly reduced most of the city in front of the girl to rubble.
